Speaker 5: He wears many ads. We got Brent always bringing the hammer. Brother.

71
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,039
How we doing today?

72
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:08,159
Speaker 6: I have some some bad breaking goose for everybody. I

73
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,800
think it's safe to say, if you've walked outside today,

74
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,639
it will not be a white Christmas.

75
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 5: If you live here, no, it would not be gonna

76
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,319
be a beautiful suns.

77
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,759
Speaker 6: I just checked and and it actually gets a little

78
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:21,199
bit worse because because if it were to get cold enough,

79
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:23,960
it would be a white Christmas. But because of the

80
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,879
temperature at the weather we are likely Look, it's a

81
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,719
seventy percent chance of rain on Thursday. Here's the issue though,

82
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,039
it's a lower forty three and a high of fifty,

83
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,120
which means, look, you may be wearing shorts for your

84
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:38,439
Christmas pajamas this week.

85
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: I don't know what it's gonna be.

86
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,599
Speaker 6: I can tell you won't be that in my house

87
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:43,439
because I fought that battle and lost.

88
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:47,439
Speaker 5: I don't know how everybody else feels about this, But.

89
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,599
Speaker 6: I don't know what you guys do for Christmas pajamas

90
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,240
in your house. So my mom did this all growing up,

91
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,520
and unfortunately my wife does the same.

92
00:03:57,639 --> 00:03:59,879
Speaker 5: But every year it's like the ten.

93
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 6: Dollars Old Navy Christmas design, like just like the classic

94
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,360
go to and maybe this is a hot take, but

95
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:10,719
I hate it. I'm not for those Christmas pajamas. And

96
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,919
last year I went rogue and I did my own

97
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,520
and my wife said, this is the last time I'd

98
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,839
be doing that. So this year I lost the battle.

99
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,600
But this is my thought process. Okay, rock with me, first,

100
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,120
cam rocking with you. Why would I buy pants Okay

101
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,480
that I'm only gonna wear for not even one day

102
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:27,920
of the year.

103
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:29,079
Speaker 5: Because I'll tell you this, ron.

104
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 6: First of all, if you're a grown adult, you're not

105
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:32,839
sleeping in pajama pants.

106
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 5: I'm just being real with you.

107
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: So even if you open the night before, you're not

108
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,680
sleeping in them.

109
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 5: Okay.

110
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 6: So then you maybe maybe you get up and you

111
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,560
open presents in them the next day. Okay, so you

112
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,680
wear them for six hours tops, from the time you

113
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,319
wake up to when Christmas is like kind of dialed

114
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:52,680
back and you're getting ready for dinner, you're going to families,

115
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,639
whatever it is, you put on real clothes. Here's my argument,

116
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,879
and this is what I did last year, and again

117
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000
I've been shut down this year. So I lost that battle.

118
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,800
But this is the way I think it is to go.

119
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,199
And you know me, like I'm a Nike Tech everything.

120
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,560
I'm wearing Nike Tech right the way I look at it,

121
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,360
Why don't I get meself a nice Nike Tech sweatsuit

122
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:16,240
that I will wear, not just on Christmas Eve, not

123
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:19,160
just on Christmas, throughout that whole year, the other day

124
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,439
of the year. But again, that's what I did for

125
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:24,120
myself last year, and I loved it. It was the

126
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,800
best Christmas gulf I could have got myself.

127
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 5: Amen.

128
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,759
Speaker 6: But unfortunately I lost that battle this year. So I'm

129
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,480
not really I'm not a huge Christmas pajamas guy.

130
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 5: Because I just I don't think they look good.

131
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 6: They're not They're really low quality material and I'm gonna

132
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,560
wear them for six hours and then never see them again.

133
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,079
Speaker 5: So then I'm asking my wife while would buying these, Yeah.

134
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: The Amazona Christmas packages, I understand what you mean.

135
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,079
Speaker 5: I too have a worn net.

136
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: I too must wear those on Christmas, even Christmas Day

137
00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:54,759
for the activities. It's something that I cannot argue in.

138
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,240
But I'm with you. I refuse to sleep in those pajamas.

139
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:00,519
Yeah kay, I will not do that. I uh maybe,

140
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:03,120
And look, I'm not gonna pull the fans here because

141
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,360
I don't want to do that. But there are a

142
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,240
lot of people that are listening that know a lot

143
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,399
of you sleep in the special covenants.

144
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 5: Don't do it lact like you don't you.

145
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:14,759
Speaker 4: Do, or sleeping.

146
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,959
Speaker 6: In underwear you do as adult sleep ivy basketball shorts

147
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,920
and maybe basketball shorts.

148
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 5: Sometimes I wear the basketball shorts.

149
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,319
Speaker 4: I'm not gonnae when we have guests family that's still

150
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:23,199
over with the basketball shorts to bed and that when

151
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:24,920
I get out. But when it's just me and the

152
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:29,079
wife and the little one, I sleep, uh straight covenants.

153
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 5: It's just me. That's what I wear, is just remind

154
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,240
to wear, so I'm not gonna lie.

155
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 6: We had somebody stay at our house a couple of

156
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,519
months ago, I can't remember who it was, and they

157
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,199
just slept on our couch and this person like when

158
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,199
they were getting up moving around the house after they

159
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,319
woke up, didn't feel the need to put anything on

160
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:50,519
top of their underwear. No boxing shorts, no nothing. And

161
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,560
I was like, Okay, they're trying to have a very

162
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,279
merry Christmas for yeah, I guess, and trying to find

163
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,199
somebody under the missiletone.

164
00:06:59,639 --> 00:06:59,959
Speaker 5: Baby.

165
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,319
Speaker 6: But but I feel like you should be like there's

166
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:06,279
sometimes I feel like we don't have enough shame in

167
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:06,720
the world.

168
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 5: There's certain things that you should be ashamed of.

169
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:12,519
Speaker 6: And wearing just your underwear when you're sleeping in somebody

170
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,319
else's house that should be something.

171
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,839
Speaker 5: You should feel. Brad, I'm not gonna lie, you know me.

172
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: I'm a very open book. There are lines that I

173
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,959
do have, and that's why I mentioned the shorts. I'm

174
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,319
just not gonna walk around that way. I've run, not

175
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,279
in somebody else's home, on somebody else's home, or even

176
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:25,399
in your own home for that matter.

177
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: I think it should be both, but it is. It

178
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:28,399
is what it is.

179
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: But you just don't want to walk out, you know,

180
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:31,199
freely believe, but I understand what your point. Your point

181
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,800
is be respectful. That's not your home. Respect respect throughs

182
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:36,959
and boundary. And never at my mother in law's house

183
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,199
have I just straight walked to the kitchen. And it

184
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,199
shouldn't say butt naked because with the garments, but where

185
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,800
everything can show there's something you that like those meshed bottoms.

186
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 5: You're weird.

187
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: Stop doing that talking to the talking to the men

188
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:50,519
and another woman, not just not just one person. You're weird,

189
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,480
But you don't just walk around. Hey out there who

190
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,600
use somebody else out put on some clothes for prying

191
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:55,959
out loud.

192
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,279
Speaker 5: Do it what my wife does.

193
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: She wears her robe because she doesn't want to put

194
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:02,360
on the clothes. I still think that's more respectable because

195
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,360
at least he got something that covers up for crying

196
00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:06,800
out loud. Wear the robe, do something and ask for

197
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,199
that for Christmas. Ask three nice robe you can be

198
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,639
naughty with in your own home. Don't be naughty and

199
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,720
someone else is trying to be that way and look

200
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:17,240
for you know, Christmas special. But anyway, I'm sorry you lost.

201
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:18,439
Speaker 5: That battle with that.

202
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,199
Speaker 4: But I and we need to put on some Christmas

203
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:22,680
qusts today, so I need to have you do that

204
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,399
Christmas traditions. Does your family wear pajamas? Are you the

205
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,040
pajama family? Let's welcome to our producer of the show.

206
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:30,279
Speaker 5: Today. We got Zach robertson.

207
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:32,519
Speaker 4: I need to ask you, Zach, do you guys wear

208
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:34,679
the Christmas pajamas on Christmas Day?

209
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 5: Does your family do that?

210
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,519
Speaker 1: First of all, it's great to be back on the show.

211
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:38,720
I've not been on the show in a while.

212
00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 5: It's been a minute.

213
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,519
Speaker 1: It's been a freaking minute, guys, and I'm so excited

214
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,720
to talk sport to you either way. But I me

215
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:49,759
and my girlfriend at the time used to do matching pajamas.

216
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:51,799
This year is not happening because I am no longer

217
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:55,200
with this person anymore. But my family is not very valid.

218
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,759
My family is not big on Christmas pajamas. My mom

219
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,559
likes to get us pajamas to wear for that night,

220
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,240
and I just sleep in sweats because it's just more

221
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:05,480
comfortable for me. And the fabric that she gets from

222
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:07,279
like the old Navy. I just don't like that fabric.

223
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 5: It's like old Navy. I'll tell you what it is.

224
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:14,159
Speaker 1: Exactly, and it's like it's gonna shrink either way after

225
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,879
you wash it, so so you have to get a

226
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,080
size up. Get a size up too, and then the

227
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,679
fuzzy ones are like more comfortable too, Like I probably

228
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,639
will have like my ones from last year, Like they're

229
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,240
like Yeati's bro I'm like, I'll just swear those.

230
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 5: Can I take the pajamas where you should get him from?

231
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,039
Speaker 4: And again we're talking about I like actually expensive pajamas

232
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:32,480
my grandmother got me from my birthday two years ago,

233
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:35,799
pajamas from H and M that I will wear because

234
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:38,799
H and M actually is a really good story. They

235
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,879
got a lot of sleeper high quality, high quality. But

236
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:43,600
that's again and that's howgh called it is different. But

237
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:46,440
the family, like you know, Zachi, you're trying to match,

238
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,840
so you're trying to keep it in the budget. So

239
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:49,639
I'm gonna say this, if you want to wear pajamas

240
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,159
in the family, don't go to Amazon, don't go to

241
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,759
Old Navy.

242
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 5: You need to buy the expense on something that you

243
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,960
wear again, not just for something you wear.

244
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: For And I wear those pajamas often, those one nice

245
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,080
one right a hundred percent.

246
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 5: I'll walk outside of him in the summertime, you know.

247
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,279
Speaker 4: Speaking of that side note, I know there's a tangent,

248
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,559
but it's speaking of pajamas. Do you guys judge people

249
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,639
that go to the gym that work out in pajamas? No,

250
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:12,360
I'm interested to know because they I saw a video

251
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:14,519
the other day on the Instagram where it's like if

252
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,360
you work out in pajamas, I look at you sideways

253
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,600
and I'm like, they just want to be comfy.

254
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:17,799
Speaker 5: Brother.

255
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 6: There was a guy next to me on the treadmill

256
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:22,279
the other day in jeans. Those are the people who

257
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,519
annoy me. There's no excuse in the world for why

258
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,080
you should be wearing jeans to the gym pajama pants.

259
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,039
I think that's kind of like the gen Z thing

260
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,279
to do. I don't know, I guess I'm gen Z,

261
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,360
so whatever's after me. Like the high school kids like

262
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,440
that's what they're doing, that's kind of their vibe. I

263
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,399
think I remember Nico I and ma Leava. He kind

264
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:42,360
of was with that trend. I'm not against it, but

265
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,600
I will say, like that just feels very warm. I like,

266
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:47,559
I can't work out with a sweatshirt, Like I gotta

267
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,840
be t shirt and shorts because I just can't be

268
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:51,519
that hot. And I also don't want to be trapping

269
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,559
all the sweat inside my pants. And I feel like

270
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,200
if you're working out in pajama pants, that would hapen

271
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:57,639
to long.

272
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. When I played football high school,

273
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,799
like we had a lot of kids show up in pajamas,

274
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,240
like the flat, absolutely flat topply pajamas, and my coach

275
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:06,559
is like, I don't care if you're comfortable.

276
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 5: You're comfortable, you will wear what you wear.

277
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: And I wear, like, literally, I wear sweats and vans

278
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,480
to the gym because obviously having flat shoes is better

279
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,360
because it's better squatting or doing some sort of like

280
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:21,519
workout versus like you have like a height boosted shoes

281
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,519
or like they're not flat. So I think that's another

282
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,200
thing too, is like you have flat shoes on Bro,

283
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:26,960
A lot of people will wear a vans that wear

284
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,679
the Nike Air Forces will wear whatever flat shoes. So

285
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,440
I don't have a problem with it. I think gens

286
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,799
is definitely extreme, like Bro was saying. So I'm gonna

287
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,399
go off of that and say, you know, I work

288
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:37,279
out in sweats and a T shirt and them, so

289
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:38,679
I'll have a hoodie and if I feel like.

290
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: It, fact facts, no ca, I'm with you, guys.

291
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,159
Speaker 4: I just wanted to know that because I saw myam

292
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,879
might be a little bit of extreme to take pajamas,

293
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,840
say after but the people working out in the whole

294
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,480
regular business a time outfit, you are weird. We're not

295
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,519
talking about nine to eleven. That's a special day anyway.

296
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:50,919
Speaker 5: I just wanted to know.

297
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,399
Speaker 4: Anyway, I've gone on the tangent. But Christmas traditions, guys,

298
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,120
is the biggest thing.

299
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 5: What does your family do? Do you make cookies? Are

300
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,840
you the pajama family will put the question out.

301
00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:00,799
Speaker 4: If not DMAs sit open again, submit open mic feature

302
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,559
to espndefan dot com. You go in there, you can

303
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,840

304
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,960
up on my Twitter at rona three man. We've go

00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,960
ahead and DM me and do that as well. I

306
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,639
want to know what your Christmas traditions are.

307
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,639
Speaker 5: I like to hear them. Like I told you guys

308
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,240
last week, it was too extreme of Miles.

309
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: It was either too much Jesus from the Southern Baptists

310
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,480
grandmother or it was too much. But no, Yeah, she's

311
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,159
all business. She does not do Christmas gifts. Don't ask

312
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600
her for it. Don't even give her one because she

313
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,480
will not accept it. She'll not answer do her. She

314
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,240
will not accept your phone call it. It's all about

315
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,480
the birth of Christ. She will do the Nativity, read

316
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,200
the Bible, and watch Jesus video. So shout out to

317
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:36,720
Dora M. Weaver, Love you, thank you for raising me

318
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:39,360
and putting the Christmas spirit of Jesus Christ in it.

319
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: But you're a little bit cucko, just a little bit.

320
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: Still love you though, And my mom and my dad

321
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,639
also y'all a little bit cuckoo too, you guys, did

322
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,080
way too much Christmas. So again you need that balance

323
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,240
of Jesus and that. So tell me what spiritual things

324
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:52,519
do you do? Do you do the Nativity? Do you

325
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,600
have a traditional Christmas dinner? It's not Thanksgiving, but it

326
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,759
still is so all of them.

327
00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:56,919
Speaker 6: More.

328
00:12:56,919 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: We can maybe break that down a little bit later,

329
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,840
and let's talk about stats to get to some of those,

330
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,960
but we do need to get into the nitty gritty

331
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,799
without further ado. Let's get into the nitty gritty always

here in Nity Griddy. There's a home and home that

357
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:34,120
just got announced earlier this morning. And guess what, I

358
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,320
believe it only got done because they're coming to Provo first.

359
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:40,120
If they have to go to South Bend and then

360
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,320
back to Provo, I don't think it would have got done.

361
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:43,679
Speaker 5: I don't think it would have got done.

362

his crew tough team. Last time BA he went to

00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,960

440
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,480
Let's get it to it, Brett. I just want your

441
00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:58,799
initial thoughts. The press release went out BYU and rre

442
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,480
Dame announced today two schools have agreed to a home

443
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:04,519
and home football series bringing the Fighting Irish, or as

444
00:18:04,519 --> 00:18:07,079
we've been calling them, the Quitting Irish to not quit

445
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,519
this time to Provo in twenty twenty six to take

446
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:13,319
on the Cookars, and then in twenty twenty seven BYU

447
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,119
is headed to South ben to take on the Fighting Irish.

448
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:20,119
This is what Brian Santiago had to say on the matter.

449
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,400
We are excited to announce his home and home series

450
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:25,279
between BYU and Ordre Dame for the twenty twenty six

451
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,559
to twenty seven seasons. We have tremendous respect for Norre

452
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:35,039
Dame and appreciate Director of ACK Athletics Pete Bevquah, who

453
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:37,440
had been great to work with in arranging this series.

454
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,000
This will be a competitive This will be competitive football

455
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:43,119
games and will highlight Colonneyson, Hockey and Marcus Freeman. I

456
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,319
agree with him on saying as two of the best leaders,

457
00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,279
not coaches. He said first leaders, and then he says

458
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:52,400
coaches in college football. As a private, faith based institution,

459
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,480
BYU and or to Day share many common values and sharing.

460
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,160
This series provides an exponential opportunity showcase two world class universities.

461
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,759
It is a matchup that will resonate strongly with Cougar

462
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:10,200
fans and college football fans everywhere. Brett, I love that

463
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:13,359
this got done, but I want your thoughts on the matter.

464
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,880
I see you got some looks right now.

465
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 6: I mean, you know me. I always have questions. I'm

466
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,519
always questions are good. I don't question, you don't improve.

467
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,720
I don't like the word I use the word conspiracy,

468
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:24,400
but I don't know if I should. Look, I'm just

469
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,839
I'm asking the big, hard hitting, big jay journalism questions.

470
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,160
That's what we get paid to do. I'm excited about this.

471
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,920
Let me say that first and foremost a man. However,

472
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,319
I don't think that this is fully necessary.

473
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:46,279
Speaker 5: Ooh ooh yeah, oh agree, Okay, let's hear the reason

474
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,559
why my question. Okay, because.

475
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:53,319
Speaker 6: Because BYU got this series with Notre Dame.

476
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,839
Speaker 5: Do you know who is no longer getting a series

477
00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:58,839
with Notre Dame? Cal right, No, because US?

478
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:01,519
Speaker 6: Oh you see, my bad, my bad, So you can't

479
00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,839
doesn't have a series with Notre Dame going forward for

480
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,480
the next couple of years. And it sounds like they

481
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:13,880
may not have that series really redone until twenty thirty.

482
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:17,079
Oh okay, and per Ross Dellinger, let me pull up

483
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,720
the quote. USC officials determined that the game date was

484
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:25,039
not ideal considering past decisions from the CFP Selection Committee

485
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:30,440
in punishing schools for losses, especially those late in the season.

486
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,559
Speaker 5: Here's why I don't know this game is necessary. I

487
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:35,279
think it's cool. I think it's great for the fans.

488
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 6: It'll be awesome to have Notre Dame come into provo

489
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,920
and to be at BYU, to go there, it's gonna

490
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,799
be a big nationally televised game. Here's the issue, though,

491
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,079
what if that Notre Dame loss you had in one

492
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,000
other big twelve loss because guess what, BYU was eleven

493
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:51,359
and two this year they were two lost.

494
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 5: Team didn't get into the playoffs.

495
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 6: Sue, what if EYU gets one big twelve loss and

496
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,759
they lose to Notre.

497
00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 5: Dame and then they don't get into the playoffs.

498
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,839
Speaker 6: And look, I under stand that's not the mentality of

499
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:04,319
a football team. You don't run from anybody. It's the

500
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,240
zacht anytime, any place, anywhere. I get all of that,

501
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:11,480
but somebody has to be the realist in the room

502
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:15,920
and say, awesome, I know you think you can be anybody, anytime, anywhere,

503
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,359
But what if you don't and then you miss the

504
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,279
playoffs unfairly unjustly? But what if you miss the playoffs

505
00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:26,119
because you scheduled Notre Dame. Because I actually kind of

506
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,519
rock with USC on this one, USC said, look, if

507
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:32,359
we're going to schedule this game, it's probably gonna end

508
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,319
up getting scheduled later in the season, according to what

509
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,359
USC officials had to say, which means if we lose

510
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,599
that game, we will get kicked out of the playoffs.

511
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,799
Because what the committee said this year is if you

512
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,680
lose at the beginning of the season, we don't care.

513
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,880
But if you lose when it's still stuck in our brain,

514
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:49,559
then it matters to us. And so I guess I'm

515
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,039
just a little bit worried that this loss. And I

516
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:58,720
shouldn't even say this loss. But again, Ron, we are

517
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:00,759
talking about a team who's been stuff from the playoffs

518
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,240
and back to back years. We have to understand the

519
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,960
Committee is not going to be your friend on that,

520
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,599
so they're not notreames friend either. It'll be a big

521
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,920
win if you get it over Notre Dame. I think

522
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,759
it will help you, and it will help you tremendously.

523
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,440
But if you don't get it, then you will fall

524
00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:20,119
and and I and I guess maybe I feel a

525
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,920
little bit differently if I know when this game is

526
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,160
being played, if this is your Week.

527
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 5: One game, then round of applause. It's game exactly.

528
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 6: But so that's where I'm a little concerned, because if

529
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:35,200
it was, then it'd be really cool. It's like on

530
00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,200
the same vibes with Ohio State and Texas. From what

531
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,200
we watched earlier in the year. Everybody remembers those games.

532
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,759
Everyone remembers the Notre Dame Texas A and M game.

533
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,079
I don't know that we know exactly when this game

534
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,920
will be, but I am just a little concerned from

535
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,880
that perspective. The other question I want answered, when did

536
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,279
we start this conversation, because that's because a lot of

537
00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:01,960
these series their skied years in advance. Like you hear

538
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,079
about teams getting scheduled in twenty eight and twenty nine.

539
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,799
This one all of a sudden, we're finding out about now.

540
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:13,240
If they've been working on this for a while, and

541
00:23:13,279 --> 00:23:16,440
then Notre Dame says, well, we already want to opt

542
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,319
out of the Bowl game.

543
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: Plus we're gonna play BYU next year anyway, so we

544
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,319
don't we were just waiting for again.

545
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 6: No, I'm trying to remember there was a playoff team

546
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,279
who played a team like that this year, played him

547
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:28,759
at the end, and I can't remember who it was.

548
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,279
Speaker 5: But either way, but.

549
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 6: If they had just now pulled this because Notre Dame

550
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,880
is now trying to save face and BYU was the

551
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,599
team to bail them out and say, yeah, all right,

552
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,119
we'll do this, then that also makes Notre Dame. Look

553
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,680
a little bit desperate, interesting stuff with Notre Dame today,

554
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:50,440
But look, it is cool.

555
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:51,599
Speaker 5: It's fun.

556
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,039
Speaker 6: It's a cool I don't know if it's a rivalry,

557
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,359
but it's a cool series in the college football history.

558
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 5: So shout out to b Allu and Notre Dame for

559
00:23:59,240 --> 00:23:59,839
getting it done.

560
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 6: But yeah, I still got some questions, and I think

561
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:04,599
there this is not all sunshine and rainbows.

562
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:06,799
Speaker 5: I got a couple of drawbacks to this. Well.

563
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 4: Look, I mean people always gonna love Catholics versus Mormons.

564
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,039
I think that's all something that's out there. Shouldn't say

565
00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,640
that Catholics versus Latter day Saints, to my apologies Christ

566
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,319
of latterday Saints. Yeah, but Latter Day Saints still saying

567
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,440
that members of the ld S faith, So as all

568
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,240
as going to be, you know, the the Catholics versus

569
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:25,240
the Church members of the Church of Jesus Christ. So

570
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:28,279
you're gonna have that aspect that's always there. I do

571
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,079
think this is a good series still to have. I

572
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,200
do to your first question, ending your last question, I

573
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,680
guess I am of the mindset wanted this to get done,

574
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,440
So I see why Notre Dame app opted out, especially

575
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,880
for the fact that they were going to lose players.

576
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,400
Jeremi Love is already declared for the draft. Uh, just

577
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,039
so in case you forget to live under rock like

578
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:47,680
Patrick Starr. But does that mean it's right. No, you

579
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,599
still should play that team because that's what it is.

580
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,599
But I understand. I, Okay, we don't want to play

581
00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:54,039
you three times in a row. I understand the mindset

582
00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:55,519
with that. I don't agree with this still, but I

583
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:57,640
see where you're coming from. It's like, well, we already

584
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,519
agree to do this, we want to be here, we're

585
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:01,000
not going to play, and we want to play you again.

586
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,559
I might be feeling the same way if I'm in

587
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:05,319
that position. So the talks probably already occurred. To your

588
00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:08,640
point about going back. I think this game is going

589
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,160
to be played at deliberit of research and they're non Conferencely,

590
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:13,559
here's why they canceled the home and home with CAL.

591
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:15,279
You should have saw this coming. I mentioned this, I

592
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:17,680
didn't tweet it about it. I didn't tweet it out

593
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,839
on my Twitter. Someone else did. I can't remember if

594
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,039
it was a local or national reporter, but that series

595
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,160
got canceled with CAL. I don't know why didn't look,

596
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,240
but maybe it was canceled because they were going to

597
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:29,599
schedule this home at home with Notre Dame because remember

598
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:32,119
by Us playing Cal was supposed to play them for

599
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,000
the next two years in a home and home.

600
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 6: Maybe Cal didn't feel like by U was a high

601
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,960
enough a search institution like when the Pack.

602
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,279
Speaker 5: Maybe that's why they did us.

603
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,599
Speaker 6: Not enough of an academic institution actually not going to

604
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,240
be playing them in a game.

605
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:48,799
Speaker 4: Then oh, man, goodness and give me vibes of that.

606
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:50,680
And then the Pacific A d oh, it's just a

607
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,359
money grab. It's like, well, what do you what did

608
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,119
you expect? Guess what you got is actually legal.

609
00:25:56,319 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could do that.

610
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,519
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that you don't that your players are going

611
00:25:59,519 --> 00:26:01,519
to other rams to do that. Maybe you should do

612
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:04,039
the Kenny Dillingham and you should go ask for twenty million.

613
00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:06,079
Maybe he should do that. Anyway, I'm not gonna get

614
00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:08,400
into that debate. Uh, you go to You're going well

615
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,559
over to who's paying. That's what's coming down to the

616
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,519
end of the day anyway. But no, if you go

617
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:14,200
and if you look at the schedule, Boi does a

618
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,960
fantastic job on Boi Cookers dot Com, Slash future Dash

619
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,200
Football Dash opponents. Before it was cal at home and

620
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,160
then on the road. In twenty twenty seven that was

621
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,279
at home and home. That now has switched and it

622
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,440
is now Notre Dame, so that home and home got replaced. Now,

623
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,119
I think this is how b A You's thinking, well,

624
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,200
our non conference game will be switching R to Dame.

625
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:39,240
Going back to Colonne's point in bigto media to day

626
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,039
play these guys in non conference, everything gets matched.

627
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 5: Up if you win that game.

628
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:47,799
Speaker 4: Guess what happens they're thinking in probably the well the

629
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:50,119
matches ore resume, we played someone tough out of non conference.

630
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,519
They said, well, we didn't play anybody, and then nationally

631
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:54,880
media Kirk Herbssey says, we didn't play anybody. You beat

632
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,880
Notre Dame in provo. Nothing you can say it was

633
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,960
at the beginning of the year. That was a different

634
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:02,640
Notre Dame. No, they didn't know who they were. Nope,

635
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,440
you gotta put it on you gotta put it on

636
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,799
the resume in that because and I get it, everything's

637
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:09,400
gonna point against BYU was saying, oh, well it was

638
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,079
early and all of it like that's the thing BYU

639
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:14,680
is is going to be the little brother, They're never

640
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,960
going to get credit when they win, and they're and

641
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:20,359
they will. They will always get punished when they lose.

642
00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:22,519
That's what's going to happen. Whether it's at the beginning

643
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:24,519
of the season or it's at the end, it doesn't matter.

644
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:26,079
They lost to the best team who I think is

645
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:28,200
in the nation twice. They're not getting any credit. So

646
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,519
you hope that they go boat steam Organ next week

647
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,440
and that everybody will shut up. But anyway, this game

648
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,480
got replaced with cal By's playing this game to have

649
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,079
a better strength of non conference record. Notre Dame owes

650
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,400
them a home game. You did that bull drive and

651
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,759
went down to the Shamrock series in Vegas. The only

652
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:45,799
thing I'll ever hold against Tom Mombole is that why

653
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:48,279
did you agree to that to get paid to give.

654
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,519
Speaker 5: It to them?

655
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: They came close. They came close. It was a one

656
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,960
score game. Uh, they called the wrong play. They should

657
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,920
have ran the ball with either Christal Brooks or gave

658
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,480
the ball to pookin the cool they ran it.

659
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 5: With a penie.

660
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 4: None against the penie, but you should have gave it

661
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:00,119
to Pook. Dads, that's who should have got the ball.

662
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:02,440
But nonetheless, that was the last time you took a loss,

663
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,640
and that sid sour with the bo fense. Now Norre

664
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:07,160
Dame can't run from it. Marcus Freeman and they lost

665
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,359
Texas A and M this year. They have to now come

666
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,160
on the road in a true road environment early in

667
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200
the season and play a b YU team that's gonna

668
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,720
be hungry.

669
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 5: They gonna have got Lucy tom mcpaya is gonna be back.

670
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,599
Speaker 4: I think I think Tasilli O'Connor will be find out

671
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:21,920
about cant a ton of vasa later.

672
00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 5: I g could come back.

673
00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 4: You're gonna have Trey Alexander back for sure, Gonna have

674
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,599
Evan Johnson lockdown corners, Tommy Prass will be healthy, even

675
00:28:29,599 --> 00:28:32,519
though you're red shirted. Some dogs and dogs in the

676
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:34,960
portal maybe like so, I'm just saying yeah, we you

677
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:36,319
and not looking because we can't say everything.

678
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,839
Speaker 5: We've heard some rumors, so we can't say nothing.

679
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,759
Speaker 4: We can't say, well we know till we know, and

680
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:43,640
an't think about it. There's supposed to be some quarterbacks. Brother,

681
00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:46,480
apparently you know that's supposed to be coming. I think

682
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,000
we haven't heard anything, but apparently he's supposed to be coming.

683
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: Look, wouldn't that look.

684
00:28:50,559 --> 00:28:53,599
Speaker 4: Last time it wasn't a tight end wrecking Michael Harper

685
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:56,359
and Jacob Robinson. Last time I checked on by you played,

686
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,359
couldn't you flip that switch? Michael Mayer. Yeah, playing for

687
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:02,519
the Las Vegas Raiver. We're just very fitting that he

688
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:04,680
balled out in that stadium and now is drafted by

689
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,000
that team.

690
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,839
Speaker 5: Is interesting.

691
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: Anyway, that's my weirdness, my nerdy brain. Anyway, The point is,

692
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,839
I think this is good.

693
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,359
Speaker 5: You win this. I do think this will help your

694
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:12,039
strength to record.

695
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: I think what bo He needs to start doing is

696
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:17,680
beating the Norre Dames, beating these acc beating these Big

697
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,640
ten schools in non conference play because they're not gonna

698
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,000
give them credit if they do so, they're not gonna

699
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,440
get credit for.

700
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,799
Speaker 5: The Big twelve. So the only way to do this

701
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:25,440
is to go take it.

702
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 6: So you have to go schedule and Arizona State is

703
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,440
a great example of this. Absolutely, you brought it up.

704
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,359
You took the words right out of my mouth that

705
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,599
what happened last year. It was a great example of that.

706
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,440
Because of that, I know we gotta get a break,

707
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,319
so I'll finish on this.

708
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:39,839
Speaker 5: This is good. They should keep.

709
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 4: Skelting these type of games for the future because if

710
00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,319
you win them, it does. But with your point, play

711
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:46,240
them in non conference because maybe even if you lose,

712
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,000
it might not go against you until later in the season.

713
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: And like you know, so that's my entire point.

714
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 4: My entire point is that I think when it comes

715
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,759
down to it, I really think that BYU should continue

716
00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:02,400
to schedule these games. This one against Norredame. They owe

717
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,160
you already. This will help your resume. Look, you're playing

718
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,200
this game to settle well, we shouldn't have been the

719
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,440
first team out or the second team. And if you're

720
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,240
going you beat Marcus S. Freeman, an Order team who

721
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,000
was in the National Championship not too long ago, that's validating.

722
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:16,920
The committee will have to see that. They will have

723
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:19,359
to respect it, even if the college football mines don't

724
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:20,680
want to do. So you go and win that game,

725
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,759
it doesn't matter, but they will go, oh, that's a

726
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:26,000
true role loss for no Order Dame. That's what they're

727
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:27,680
going to say, and they won't give you that credit

728
00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:29,839
if that were to be. But overall, good point shout

729
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:33,200
at the Brian Santiago and the BYU administration getting is done.

730
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 5: I think this is really good. The other nice thing.

731
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:37,400
You don't have to play Jeremiah Love. Next year, you

732
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,319
don't have to play Jeremiah Love. Jeremiah Love. Shout out

733
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:42,359
to Gus Johnson. Just so everybody knows.

734
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:45,559
Speaker 4: Notre Dame owns a seventy two advantage in the previous

735
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,839
nine games after winning the last game that I talked

736
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,200
about in twenty twenty two, twenty eight to twenty in

737
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,680
Allegian Stadium. Boe owns a one to one record against

738
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,759
Irish at Lavelle Elwards Stadium. Norre Dame boost a five

739
00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:59,200
to one record against the Cougars in South Bend and

740
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,240
one oh marks them in the neutral side with the

741
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,279
Shamrock series, so we will see you don't win. You

742
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:06,759
don't have the advantage when it comes to going to

743
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,640
South Bend, but it's even coming to Laveil, and next

744
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,160
year they have to come to Laveil. So how do

745
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,079
you feel about akrigrenation d like dislike? Are you neutral

746
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:15,880
on BYU playing Notre dameen home and home? I think

747
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,759
this is great. I think it will help their schedule.

748
00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:20,000
I think it will boost the non conference and opportunity

749
00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:21,920
to get into the playoffs. Because the media was saying

750
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,920
you didn't play anybody. What if you just go play everybody,

751
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,920
then there's nothing they can say. Do a bou basketball,

752
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,759
do schedule the tough people, go beat them guys. But

753
00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:31,400
that was nitty gritty that was brought to you by

754
00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:35,000

Speaker 1: Got a little Santa tell me by Arian or Grande.

816
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:23,639
I cannot tolerate a lot of Christmas music just because

817
00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:24,559
it gets so overplayed.

818
00:34:24,599 --> 00:34:25,079
Speaker 5: I don't know why.

819
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,039
Speaker 1: That's just me, that's just me as a human.

820
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:27,599
Speaker 5: I get it.

821
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,519
Speaker 1: A lot of people like the Christmas music because it's

822
00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:31,159
just traditional, it's classic and everything.

823
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:31,599
Speaker 5: I can't.

824
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,599
Speaker 1: I honestly can't. It's it's weird for me. But yeah,

825
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,280
this is a song I can tolerate just because it's

826
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,119
kind of a newer song. And we grew up kind

827
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,400
of listened to all this type of music and artists,

828
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,079
so like Ron, you and I probably in the same

829
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:48,199
but with some some artists like Kendrick and other people.

830
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,960
But yeah, this is like one of the songs I

831
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,360
can tolerate pretty much one hundred percent.

832
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 4: I do lend me some Kendrick. I listened early and

833
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,760
off on that in some posts alone. But it is

834
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,239
a holiday season and we would be joyful and cheerful. So

835
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,039
Santa tell me, Santa tell me if I've been naughty.

836
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:03,880
Nice's yeah, I believe I have been. I've done a

837
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,760
good job. I believe I've done that in my job

838
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,000
with the producing and at home.

839
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,159
Speaker 5: Well maybe not at home.

840
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:09,519
Speaker 4: Maybe my wife might say I've been a little bit

841
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:11,239
naught and I haven't done the dishes enough, So it

842
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,280
might not be able to be declarative on that, but

843
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,960
I think with everything else, I definitely can. Ariana Grande

844
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:18,400
dropped that song in twenty fourteen. That was a year

845
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,880
before I grated in high school. In that long bro,

846
00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:24,559
that's how crazy it is over ten years. Yeah, I

847
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:26,280
know it's crazy. It says it right here on Google.

848
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,800
Let's Google's wrong. Oh, I'm sure you can't trust Google anymore.

849
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,199
It says released here. You can't trust Google. Chat GBT,

850
00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:32,159
you really got.

851
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 5: To do yours. And I thought that song was like

852
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,440
three years ago.

853
00:35:34,519 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 4: It feels like three years, which is great with Zach said,

854
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,639
because that's how you know it's not overplayed.

855
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:41,639
Speaker 5: Guys.

856
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 4: That was brought to you by rollin Me brand dot com.

857
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,920
It's to be a swa created by the fans for

858
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:47,039
the fans. Always repped the wide the right way. Shout

859
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:48,599
out to roll on me Brand. We had our warehouse

860
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:51,639
sale this past Saturday. It was a great turnout. Lots

861
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:53,920
of people showed up and show up. Apologized to those

862
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,039
Cougar fans that came late and we had packed up,

863
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:58,519
but it was packed from ten to one. Died down

864
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:01,559
at about two. So much much shut out almost everything.

865
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:03,320
I was only able to get a few shirts, but

866
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,199
I'm grateful for what I got. But people got their

867
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,039
basketball shirts, their hoodies, their hats, everything, you name it.

868
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 5: Again, remember still go online.

869
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,559
Speaker 4: You can book stuff today and still get a late

870
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,000
Christmas present or a birthday present. Ronald the three manil

871
00:36:14,039 --> 00:36:15,800
Weavers birthday, I know I'm referring to myself as a

872
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,000
third person, is going to be next week on a

873
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:21,360
very special day, on New Year's Eve. He would love

874
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,039
for you to get him a birthday present. You can

875
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:26,280
use the ESPN nine sixty discount code and you'll get

876
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,760
teen percent off. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding about the

877
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,800
birthday present, but I am not joking. Get it for

878
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,559
yourself for someone that you love this next year at

879
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:36,000
rold on me brand dot com. One of our sponsors

880
00:36:36,039 --> 00:36:38,599
texted us I won't reveal his name. He wouldn't care

881
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:41,639
if I did, but I received the following text. It said,

882
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,840
we have to schedule these games. This is how we

883
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,119
force respect. Explamation point times two. Didn't want to go more,

884
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:51,679
but you actually exclamation times two with both of them.

885
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,199
I agree with them. I think you do need to

886
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,320
force respect. They don't respect BYU. So what you need

887
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,320
to do is you need to go whoop Miami. Go

888
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,000
get a home of home with Miami. You need to

889
00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:03,679
go beat Nordre Dame. Heck, get an SEC team that

890
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:06,800
thinks they're tough, get Oklahoma to come back in there,

891
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:10,039
whack them. Any team that the committee put above you

892
00:37:10,079 --> 00:37:13,039
this year. If I'm BYU, I put a red dot

893
00:37:13,199 --> 00:37:15,360
on their back, mark them and say, you know what,

894
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,199
how about y'all want you Let's schedule a home at home. Heck,

895
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,320
even go to a neutral site and do it. Schedule

896
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,119
on the neutral site. Some people might disagree with that,

897
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,679
but do it on a neutral go to a home

898
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,400
and home, do both right, do whatever you gotta do.

899
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:27,960
Whatever they're willing to take the bait on, just don't

900
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:28,119
do it.

901
00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:28,559
Speaker 5: Notre Dame.

902
00:37:28,559 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 4: They need to come to provo they be disrespectful, and

903
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,800
then go beat and win that, because what do I

904
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,599
always break you and I always say, if they're not

905
00:37:35,639 --> 00:37:38,039
gonna give you a respect, damn it, take it. So

906
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:39,760
if you're b why you I agree with this. You

907
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,039
gotta go take the respect you need to. And that's

908
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:44,440
what they're gonna do. I believe this game in provo,

909
00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:48,119
with all the momentum that they got. I would love

910
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:50,239
to see what the narrative would be if by you're

911
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,960
to beat Norre Dame. Now Nordre Dam caver will come

912
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,400
in here and just say, hey, where that dude. I

913
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,360
think the twelfth Man will play a factor. But this

914
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,719
game has to be played at night, can be no morning.

915
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,519
This is an eight fifteen kickoff on ESPN, and you

916
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:04,400
have to bring him here.

917
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,599
Speaker 5: You have to vampire kooks the fight Irish, Quid and

918
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:11,800
Irish have to be cold. We won't be called to

919
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,440
be September.

920
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 4: They have to wait all day sweat in this hot sun.

921
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,559
They probably actually wouldn't be too effected. Maybe with the elevation.

922
00:38:17,639 --> 00:38:19,960
Actually I can't tell you. The humidity in the Midwest

923
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,519
is terrible, but the elevation is even worse. So get

924
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:25,760
him a sweat all day and they different ball game

925
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,079
one hundred percent. You and I both know it's a

926
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:29,840
way different ball game. But I do agree take the respect.

927
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,800
You have to take it in d But you know

928
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,360
who's gonna take their respect tonight transition a little bit.

929
00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:40,559
A certain basketball player that's going to make his Daybut yeah,

930
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:42,760
that's right if you don't know, and again if you

931
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,000
live under a rock. I know, I got to talk

932
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:45,920
a little bit of basketball here, and I know some

933
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,840
people might not lack it.

934
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,679
Speaker 5: Like Ron pop Tarts Bowl is all I want to hear.

935
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 4: The basketball team is playing phenomenal and they have a

936
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,480
G League guy that they sign that is not redshirting

937
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:57,480
that will be in action tonight. Abdullah Ahmed will make

938
00:38:57,519 --> 00:39:00,679
his season debut. Per Joe Tip and gotta get join

939
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,679
the show. I've not done a good job of doing,

940
00:39:02,679 --> 00:39:04,519
Producer Roles. Gotta get Joe on the show to talk

941
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:07,280
about abdulah Met. But he's gonna make his debut to

942
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,440
night against East Groun Washington. I am so excited to

943
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,719
see him play. Look, we talked about the depth at

944
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,480
behind Keba at the center position. To look, guys, if

945
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,559
you really know basketball and getting into the like the

946
00:39:19,639 --> 00:39:24,079
nooks and crannies Hadim plays the four. He's a true four.

947
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,360
Xavion is a five and a rim protector. You can

948
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,079
go small with Haidim at the five, but it's true

949
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:30,840
positions to four. He said that the post and a

950
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,159
Gams who played that sound for you, So you have that.

951
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,800
You also are taking a chance, you know, as Mihilo

952
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,840
is a stretch five, Mahilo's also playing in a four

953
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,639
because he can shoot an extend to four. So well,

954
00:39:39,639 --> 00:39:41,639
you want to go small ball that five action works.

955
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,400
But to have a guy to come given proven minutes,

956
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,719
to be proven at the lob threat that can run

957
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,480
run the rim as well, that can shop block on

958
00:39:49,519 --> 00:39:53,440
the way cable, that has the lengthletic, the athleticism, the explosiveness,

959
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:56,920
that has the iq Abdulah's the perfect fit for this guy.

960
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,960
He's the guy that is going to be in the rotation.

961
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,960
You go back in you watches Jilie film with the

962
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,440
Westchester Nicks. If you just watch the.

963
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,599
Speaker 5: Tape, this dude is so explosive, bro, he baptizes people.

964
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 4: Brett is watching tape right now and I'm seeking mean

965
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,159
mugging face and going to if you thought that aj

966
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,840
De bonsa Dunk was amazing. You didn't gonna watch this

967
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,119
kid dunk his kid baptized and protext the rim like, look,

968
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:20,320
I love a little friendly competition, and I'm not. I

969
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,960
don't want to put him against because I don't want

970
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,000
BYU Athletics and people texting me or pulling me aside

971
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,159
of you. You're saying I don't want that. I'm being

972
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:29,039
petty when I said that, but I'm being serious. I

973
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:31,280
don't want them thinking I'm pinning these ass against each other.

974
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 5: But i want to.

975
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,639
Speaker 4: See the competition of who can block the ball the best.

976
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:36,679
Can it be Cable, who can jump by the gym,

977
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,400
who's a volleyball player, or can it be Abdullah because

978
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,320
Abdullah is long, bro like his length, like you ain't

979
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,199
getting on to the rim on him, which it's way

980
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:47,199
more impressive by Cave because Cave is six for eight

981
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,360
and can jump in Adulah is six to eleven. So but Brett,

982
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,039
I'm excited to watch him tonight. So my question of

983
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:55,519
today is this, as I've gone around on it and

984
00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:58,760
I've gotten too hyped about it, what are your expectations

985
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:02,519
for Abdullah met his debut against Eastern Washington tonight. Then

986
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:05,119
I'll ask you a secondary question, Brett, what do you

987
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:07,199
think his role will be this season? Because they're not

988
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:09,039
playing him just to play him. Only got two years

989
00:41:09,039 --> 00:41:11,639
of eligibility, that's what he got approved for. Sounds like

990
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:13,840
they're gonna get him going now. So this will count

991
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,519
us one year and then next year. But we'll go

992
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:17,920
with the first one then the second one. What are

993
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,519
your expectations tonight for Abdullah in the debut?

994
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 6: This one's real interesting, Ron for a couple of reasons,

995
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:31,400
the first one being you mentioned a guy in Hadem

996
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,400
Bub Hadem Bub and Lef Haiding he was with.

997
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,159
Speaker 5: The team last year.

998
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 6: Correct, he was with the team, but he didn't play

999
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:41,920
last year.

1000
00:41:42,519 --> 00:41:43,119
Speaker 5: Also true.

1001
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,039
Speaker 6: Well that's weird because this guy got here not even

1002
00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:50,440
a month ago, around the same timeline as him, and

1003
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,920
they're turning him around and they are playing him immediately

1004
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:55,760
in mid December. Ooh.

1005
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,079
Speaker 5: Which tells me a number of things. Let it tell you.

1006
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 6: It tells me, first of all, he's not that raw,

1007
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,159
because we are looking at a Hadem boop who I'm

1008
00:42:08,199 --> 00:42:10,199
not taking a shot by saying he's raw. He has

1009
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,119
all I've said. He's the Dennis Rodman of BA basketball.

1010
00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 4: And you see the improvement from your by the way

1011
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,519
you see that you're off in the development.

1012
00:42:17,559 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 6: However, that makes when I don't know, I'm I'm just

1013
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,960
a guy who follows people's patterns of behavior, and last

1014
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,760
year your pattern of behavior was and maybe.

1015
00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:31,519
Speaker 5: They also felt that they were more full at the

1016
00:42:31,519 --> 00:42:33,719
front court than they feel that they are Yester this year.

1017
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 6: But last year you didn't play Hadeem even though you

1018
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,320
had him, and then this year you have Abdullah and

1019
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,159
you are going to play him.

1020
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 5: So that tells me that you've seen enough from this.

1021
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 6: Guy in a short period of time to say, hey,

1022
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,519
we feel as though you can go out there and

1023
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:52,320
make an impact.

1024
00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 5: That's number one what it tells me. Number two, it

1025
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:55,599
does tell.

1026
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 6: Me you feel a little bit iffy about what's going

1027
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,519
on in the front court right now. And we've seen

1028
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:07,440
Keba take a couple of shots, and we've seen a

1029
00:43:07,519 --> 00:43:10,840
number of other guys just maybe not fulfill the role

1030
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,039
that we'd like them to see in that front court position. Well,

1031
00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:17,840
now you bring a guy in who has NBA G

1032
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,079
League experience, which is really hard to quantify and compare

1033
00:43:22,159 --> 00:43:25,159
to anybody else because it's like he's really what.

1034
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 5: Besides NBA he's one of the first.

1035
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 6: I think there's one other person who's done it in

1036
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,800
college basketball, but it's very rare, so it's hard to

1037
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,880
compare and say when G League guys come to the

1038
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,400
college basketball they do this. We've seen Euro League guys come,

1039
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,480
especially on this BAU basketball team.

1040
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 5: So expectations for Jamed Night.

1041
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 6: I'd like to see him get six points, four boards,

1042
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,679
and maybe maybe a block. Maybe not a block, We'll

1043
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,920
see defense. I'd love to see him just swap. I'd

1044
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,880
love to see him do a Kebu ketta and just

1045
00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:07,599
throw it into the stands like a tennis ball. But

1046
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:10,280
I think for me and yes, like as far as

1047
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,119
something that won't show up on the stat sheet, I

1048
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:13,880
do want to see how he protects the rim.

1049
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 5: And also, if we're being honest, I want to see

1050
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:17,559
if he.

1051
00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:21,079
Speaker 6: Can score down low, because we saw I think it

1052
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:24,679
was Pacific a little bit who they really made Kebo

1053
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,559
work for it, and they kind of found ways at

1054
00:44:28,559 --> 00:44:30,519
certain points in the game to hold him back. I

1055
00:44:30,519 --> 00:44:32,719
think he only ended up with like six points in

1056
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,800
that game. I'd love to see abdulah Ahmed be a

1057
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:42,199
dominant force down low to something you just really can't

1058
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,960
game plan for and you especially can't game plan for

1059
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:47,800
him with your backup guys. And that's the other thing

1060
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,440
with this is no other team has seen him play

1061
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,039
college basketball yet they haven't seen him, and be why you.

1062
00:44:53,079 --> 00:44:56,199
Speaker 5: See you don't know what you haven't It's it's.

1063
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:59,079
Speaker 6: Almost like a card that you've been holding till the

1064
00:44:59,159 --> 00:44:59,719
end of the game.

1065
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 5: If you played cover your assets.

1066
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,039
Speaker 4: That's also so so you and I we and I

1067
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:05,320
need to.

1068
00:45:05,679 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 5: It's always like anyone who's played, cover your assets.

1069
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 6: So now you've gotta hold that wild card as long

1070
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:15,199
as you possibly that gold of that silver. You have

1071
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,760
to hold it until the last and look p s

1072
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,440
a to anyone who's played the game. If you don't know,

1073
00:45:20,559 --> 00:45:25,719
it puts you up on game card as you can

1074
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,039
and that nobody.

1075
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:28,199
Speaker 5: Knows that you have it. So when that big pile

1076
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,280
comes open at the end of the game, you're taking it.

1077
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,719
And that's how I'm feeling about it.

1078
00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:35,079
Speaker 6: While I'm the Big twelve has not seen him play

1079
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,960
basketball in college yet, they haven't seen him in dy scheme,

1080
00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:41,840
and they certainly haven't seen him with Chris Burgess and

1081
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,440
with Kevin Young and the rest of the absolute studs

1082
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,360
of development I think it's gonna be really interesting to

1083
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,440
see how they use him and how other teams react

1084
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,519
to a guy that they haven't had a scout.

1085
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 5: Or game plan for all year long.

1086
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 4: Manly do I love to take I love the analogy

1087
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,039
of the cover your assets because you understand about the

1088
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:06,360
wild holding the trump card unto the end to beat people.

1089
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,320
I will give you a little tit bit. The gold

1090
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,199
card is ripped because I lied to my wife. I

1091
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,920
kept two cards. I said he only had one card left,

1092
00:46:13,039 --> 00:46:14,800
and she thought she was gonna take the big pile

1093
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,760
and I had nothing, and that pile had like six

1094
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,079
hundred and eighty thousand, and I took the pile and

1095
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:21,480
I won. So I understand what you mean by hold

1096
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,760
the cards until the end. So I need to come

1097
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,280
on your house and play on. Anyway, The point is

1098
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,079
go back to the business at hand. Nobody has seen

1099
00:46:28,159 --> 00:46:30,559
so Kevin Young has the goals in the silvers. Yes,

1100
00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:32,960
he also has at his base where he's stuck him

1101
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,599
in there and you can't take it or he slips

1102
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:36,519
it into the pile. He got a few trickeries going

1103
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:38,320
on here and there. He's got a couple of those

1104
00:46:38,599 --> 00:46:42,480
as well. No, but love your analogy. I'm in agreeance

1105
00:46:42,519 --> 00:46:45,360
with you to answer this question. I think what I

1106
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,960
need to see tonight is more that he can clean

1107
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,039
the glass up and he defends the basket.

1108
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:51,159
Speaker 5: That's me.

1109
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 4: You're not asking him to go out there and get

1110
00:46:54,519 --> 00:46:56,400
ten points and to get fifteen boards.

1111
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 5: If he does need a couple points, you do need

1112
00:46:58,760 --> 00:46:59,320
a couple points.

1113
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,679
Speaker 6: We're talking about this bench, and if it's it does

1114
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,920
from somebody, that's his primary His primary role is not

1115
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,760
to score the basketball, and in that I agree with you. However,

1116
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,760
he does need to put a couple of points on

1117
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,440
the game, and I think if he's I think it's

1118
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:13,880
if he's given that six to ten range a game exactly,

1119
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:14,320
that's him.

1120
00:47:14,639 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 5: But I mean, like, I think you can't.

1121
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:18,519
Speaker 4: And this is where you're pressing the other guys Tyler

1122
00:47:18,559 --> 00:47:21,039
and Alexi and other guys come off the benching uh

1123
00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:26,280
Haadim and Dominique. You can't expect Abdullah to, Hey, you

1124
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:26,880
need to be the.

1125
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 5: Guy off the bench scoring of points.

1126
00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 4: No, he's gonna be the guy grabbing the bords, clearing

1127
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,199
up last and protecting the paint like Keba.

1128
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 5: But if the lobbs there, throw it to him.

1129
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,559
Speaker 4: For all means, and I think they're gonna be several

1130
00:47:35,559 --> 00:47:37,559
games they he'll end up in double figures because of

1131
00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:39,039
how dynamic Aj is with the ball.

1132
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 5: Because of the two company, he's gonna get. Look and

1133
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,079
this is no shot.

1134
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,519
Speaker 4: He might get more cleaner looks with that second group

1135
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,039
than Keba might get, honestly, and with rob because of that,

1136
00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:51,119
because you're gonna put so much pressure with having Robber Richie,

1137
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:53,840
you don't want Coasters and those guys to get off that.

1138
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,119
Abdullah just and looking at the safe he might be

1139
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,800
wide open as well.

1140
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,199
Speaker 5: So we're gonna find a lot more. But I'm with

1141
00:47:59,239 --> 00:47:59,679
you tonight.

1142
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 4: Look, I would say eight points. Need to see a

1143
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,320
couple of lobs for sure. I need to see eight boards.

1144
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,320
Not gonna say double digit rebounds. There's a lot to

1145
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,039
ask right off the debut, but eight points, eight boards,

1146
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,320
and then I need to see at least two blocks.

1147
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,400
I need to see at least two blocks defended. It

1148
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,800
can be on a shot when someone's going up right,

1149
00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:22,800
or can be in one around the rim. I don't

1150
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:23,760
need to see a bunch of but I need to

1151
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,000
see a mixture in a variety of all of that.

1152
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,320
For to get done, but tell us your thoughts SCUGA Nation.

1153
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,679
We'll put the question today out on Twitter. What are

1154
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,760
your expectations tonight for Abdullah Med and his debut against

1155
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:34,519
Eastern Washington?

1156
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 5: And then another question.

1157
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 4: What role will what role will Abdulah play for BAU

1158
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,320
this season? I think having Cable go to the bench

1159
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,079
where he gets in foul trouble or when you need

1160
00:48:43,119 --> 00:48:45,960
good minutes. I think Abula brings in the same amount

1161
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,239
as well, if not more. I think his G League

1162
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,840
experience is really about to push him to the next level.

1163
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 5: I really think so.

1164
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,199
Speaker 4: Guys like Kyle Collinsworth likes him. Robbie Maccomes who's a

1165
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,360
BA basketball instead of likes him. So this is a

1166
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,760
good pickup for have a young an. He debuts tonight,

1167
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,559

Today is the fourth all time meeting between the two programs,

1224
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:28,559
with three of the three previous meetings taking place at

1225
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:30,960
the Merit Center in Provo. By US three and zero

1226
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,280
all time against the Eagles, outscoring them wait for it,

1227
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,800
by combining one hundred points in their previous meetings, one

1228
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,039
hundred points in the three that but is called Belt

1229

in three of their previous meetings.

1231
00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:51,559
Speaker 6: Wow, so you're averaging winning by thirty three thirty three.

1232
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:53,519
Speaker 4: That's why the spread tonight, I think it's thirty five

1233
00:51:53,559 --> 00:51:56,039
and a half. Might be thirty three and a half,

1234
00:51:56,039 --> 00:51:57,320
but I think it's thirty five and a double chuck

1235
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,679
would be on that bright But thirty thirty five and

1236
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:02,039
a half BYU is nuts Ag of deboms is the

1237
00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:05,039
leading scorer. Here's the numbers, working himself up as one

1238
00:52:05,079 --> 00:52:08,400
of the best scorers. Twenty two point three. Twenty two

1239
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,280
point three is how many points Aja is scoring. Top

1240
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:15,599
dog around here thirty four and a half, so it's

1241
00:52:15,599 --> 00:52:18,119
gone down the point, so it's gone down. Goodness, gracious,

1242
00:52:18,159 --> 00:52:20,760
who's putting some money on the freaking easter on the Eagles?

1243
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,280
Somebody's putting money on the Eagles to base they are

1244
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,119
too and ten very bad, very very bad. Here's a

1245
00:52:27,199 --> 00:52:31,159
number to o BYU. A win tonight would extend bau's

1246
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,920
overall home win strict of ten games, marking the thirteen

1247
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,320
times since two thousand that BYU has won ten or

1248
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:41,400
more games inside the friendly confines of the Marriotte Center.

1249
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,159
Speaker 5: Twenty five is in a number to zero.

1250
00:52:43,519 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 4: Last on Friday, the eighty five to sixty seven win

1251
00:52:47,039 --> 00:52:50,280
over Appealeen Christian on Saturday, I thought it was Friday.

1252
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,559
Speaker 5: My apologies. BYU extends the.

1253
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:55,159
Speaker 4: Non conference win strict to twenty five games that dates

1254
00:52:55,199 --> 00:53:00,000
back to December of twenty twenty two. So long win streak.

1255
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,360
It's gonna be twenty six tonight too, because they're not

1256
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,679
losing this game. The question is, here's the number. I

1257
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,400
want you to think, a number that I have in mind. Bro,

1258
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,199
Will a certain player drop a certain number? Now we

1259
00:53:12,199 --> 00:53:15,639
know who the certain player is, will he achieve the number?

1260
00:53:15,679 --> 00:53:17,119
In my head, I want you to play guess him

1261
00:53:17,119 --> 00:53:20,239
with Ron the three man leave? What number do you think?

1262
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:24,159
I think AJ has an opportunity to drop tonight, especially

1263
00:53:24,199 --> 00:53:26,320
if Cape is also not not back from the illness.

1264
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,639
I think he will be. Haven't been told, haven't asked

1265
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:30,440
any sources?

1266
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:31,199
Speaker 5: What?

1267
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 6: How?

1268
00:53:31,519 --> 00:53:33,599
Speaker 5: How many points? I want you to guess how many things? Oh?

1269
00:53:33,639 --> 00:53:35,119
He put it up forty?

1270
00:53:35,159 --> 00:53:39,079
Speaker 4: I got forty, I got full, zero, I got two. No,

1271
00:53:39,199 --> 00:53:41,840
I really I would love to see a forty piece

1272
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:43,119
tonight from AJ.

1273
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:47,159
Speaker 5: I would I don't think that's too much.

1274
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 6: I told you there's no way that could happen because

1275
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,639
they're not gonna play him for that long if they're

1276
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,559
up by that. Man, Yeah, that's what I would have

1277
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:55,079
thought last Saturday.

1278
00:53:56,199 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 5: Time to get to thirty five? Oh, he got the

1279
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:58,360
thirty five.

1280
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 6: I was wrong, man, especially with maybe some guys not

1281
00:54:03,159 --> 00:54:05,239
playing tonight. You know it's your last non con game.

1282
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,320
You're not in desperate need to get in his back?

1283
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 5: Who're working things into it? I think it's I think

1284
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,960
it's possible. Would I bet money on it?

1285
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:19,079
Speaker 6: No, also would not bet on it, but it's definitely possible.

1286
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 5: Definitely possible.

1287
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,599
Speaker 4: Forty could AJ Deboncter drop forty tonight. He is very capable. Brother,

1288
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:30,239
drop thirty five last time. Here's what's strending and end

1289
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:31,559
on this cause we gotta get the break and I

1290
00:54:31,559 --> 00:54:34,199
gotta let you go. AJ, Debonster, Richie Sonders, and Rob

1291
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,159
Wright scored the first twenty seven points of b What

1292
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,920
East points on Friday before Tyler hit a corner three.

1293
00:54:41,159 --> 00:54:43,800
Hit a corner three with five minutes and twenty nine

1294
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,480
seconds remaining in the first I'm still.

1295
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,079
Speaker 6: Not sure how I feel about this, Like I'm not

1296
00:54:48,119 --> 00:54:50,320
sure if I'm really excited, like we have one of

1297
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:50,960
the best.

1298
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:56,599
Speaker 5: Big preass I that if we just have no depth

1299
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,519
or both things true.

1300
00:54:58,599 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 4: I don't know. Look, I will give you this point

1301
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,559
to prove this point to you. The press is going

1302
00:55:03,599 --> 00:55:06,800
to be a problem against Iowa State and Houston because

1303
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,360
it's just big toe ball. They like to play more

1304
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,320
physically and those teams are very good defensively. So I

1305
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,239
think this is an issue when you look at what's trending,

1306
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,840
because you don't want Rob, Richie and AJ doing all

1307
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,519
of the work because at some point it's gonna come

1308
00:55:17,559 --> 00:55:19,639
to that middle eight, as they say in football or whatever.

1309
00:55:19,639 --> 00:55:22,039
That's that for basketball or you need Tyler to step

1310
00:55:22,119 --> 00:55:23,519
up and you don't want it to be that late.

1311
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:26,199
So there are valid reasons and points that you bring

1312
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,400
up with Abilene Christian. But that was a good test

1313
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,639
for them, so maybe not that they've had the test. Guys,

1314
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,800
get out and if it experienced that, now it's going

1315
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,480
to be different. You would hope that Kansas State just

1316
00:55:35,519 --> 00:55:37,360
picks you up ninety four feet so you can experience that.

1317
00:55:37,559 --> 00:55:39,440
And I really don't know if anybody can really prepare

1318
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,400
you for the likes of Houston and Iowa State.

1319
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 5: I don't even Texas Tech can or Kansas because they're

1320
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:44,480
just different.

1321
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,599
Speaker 4: Iowa State just wants to play play, you know, football

1322
00:55:48,639 --> 00:55:51,480
the whole time on the court, and Houston just does

1323
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,000
a good job of just being so long and athletic

1324
00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:54,519
and fast.

1325
00:55:54,559 --> 00:55:56,119
Speaker 5: So look, I'm with you.

1326
00:55:56,199 --> 00:55:59,079
Speaker 4: That is a problem, maybe not even a problem, concern

1327
00:55:59,519 --> 00:56:01,960
a little bit because you want everybody to be physical.

1328
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:02,519
Speaker 5: But we will see.

1329
00:56:02,559 --> 00:56:04,559
Speaker 4: But that's good that your big three have said get

1330
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:06,480
out the way, let me do it. AJ number one

1331
00:56:06,519 --> 00:56:08,599
overall pick why. I believe Richie and Rob both have

1332
00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:10,440
played in the Big twelve and have led their team,

1333
00:56:10,519 --> 00:56:14,360
So that is what gives you confidence in the matter.

1334
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,679
Speaker 5: Today night will be the Cougar's fifth.

1335
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 4: And final Quad four matchup of the season, as they

1336
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,039
ranked in the ninety seven percent out in the net

1337
00:56:21,199 --> 00:56:23,400
forty seven point two to be exact, ninety fifth in

1338
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,360
offensive efficient rating, scene, ninety six percent out defensive rating

1339
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,960
and in Quad three and for in Quad three and Quad.

1340
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:30,519
Speaker 5: Four games this season.

1341
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:32,679
Speaker 4: You love that defensively in those stats, they also rank

1342
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,800
ninety fifth in effective field goal percentage. These are great numbers,

1343
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,039
all because of Kevin Young. They've really bought into the

1344
00:56:38,039 --> 00:56:40,000
defensive side. That's what I need. That's what I said

1345
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,320
in the last segment my question of the day, defensive

1346
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,599
rebounding from a duel a Matt That's what I would

1347
00:56:44,599 --> 00:56:46,480
like to see by you improved.

1348
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:47,039
Speaker 5: Check this out.

1349
00:56:47,039 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 4: This is a nice stat as well. Listen, I need

1350
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,079
to send this tea so we could put this out

1351
00:56:50,119 --> 00:56:52,440
on Twitter. BYU improved the twenty two to zer under

1352
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,159
Kevin Young when shooting fifty percent or better from the field.

1353
00:56:55,159 --> 00:56:57,079
As the Cougar has win twenty five to forty seven

1354
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,840

00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 5: That is crazy.

1359
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,119
Speaker 4: That goes back to the wccd's and everybody remembers what

1360
00:57:16,239 --> 00:57:18,880
happened in those times. But twenty two to zero under

1361
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,159
Kevin Young, will you shoot above fifty percent? That's a

1362
