if this BYU men's basket BYU men's football team can

very good, very talented, well coach Texas Tech team who

00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,760

taken on UCF at the end of the season at

31
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:41,280
Level Edwards Stadium here in a couple of weeks. One

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,280
of the reasons why you should show up and be

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,439
a part of the twelfth man right, rise and shout,

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,239
disrupt the communication between Hoover and his offensive line. The

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,159
other reason why you should show up is because a

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,760
former BYU great, one of the greatest to have ever

37
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:00,439

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,599

46
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a long time coming.

47
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:35,039
Speaker 1: We talked about it a lot, and I don't know,

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,719
I kinda has been at least a decade.

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I mean you've been mentioning it.

50
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: John Beck's been saying it, and it's happening tonight.

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's gonna be cool.

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,199
Speaker 2: I mean, you did the tryout though. You had to

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,000
try out. This is not like you were on on

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960
scholarship where they just gave it to you then said Johnny,

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,840
you're gonna play. You had to go to the walk

56
00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:57,120
on tryouts for this.

57
00:02:57,319 --> 00:02:59,879
Speaker 1: I went down there and I, yeah, there was a

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,599
there's like one hundred people in line.

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,479
Speaker 4: Most of them were singing. I was the only one

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,199
with the instrument.

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: There was one guy I think it was maybe it

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,280
was like a trumpet, and but yeah, I tried out.

63
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: They loved it, and I thought at that time that.

64
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: They were like I was just like a random guy.

65
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,479
But I found out like a couple weeks ago, They're like, no,

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,199
we know, we recognized you, and.

67
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,719
Speaker 4: But they still liked it.

68
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: And I was kind of glad too, because like that's

69
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,080
a lot of people to play in front of.

70
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: So I'm like, hey, I don't want to just you know.

71
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Get the special privilege in there and like mess it up,

72
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:40,719
like I better play it well.

73
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: So I'm very excited about it. It's really cool.

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Also it's Veterans Day Week, yeah, so I feel that's

75
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:53,439
pretty special too. A quick quick thing I've been thinking

76
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:57,000
about this week in relation to that. We played TCU

77
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,560
in two thousand and six. Yes, we did, and I'll

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:01,919
tell you why.

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: I know this date.

80
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: It was September twenty eighth, and that was a huge

81
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:09,319
victory for our team.

82
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:12,039
Speaker 2: We ranked I think there were seventeenth in the country. Yeah,

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,199
time went into TCU and AMG Carter Stadium, it got

84
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,480
the dome.

85
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we we kind of thumped him pretty good.

86
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:20,800
I mean it wasn't like a huge blowout.

87
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,759
Speaker 3: But like we we already won seventeen.

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a great victory.

89
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,079
Speaker 3: And now, like.

90
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, a few years ago, I'm listening to

91
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,600
a Navy Seal podcast, the Great Jocko Willink Jaco podcast

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,879
Love that, and he's talking about some of his guys

93
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,920
and so, you know, I was just reading about a

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,959
couple of them and the date stood out. It was

95
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,279
September twenty ninth, two thousand and six. That and so

96
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,399
that this was in the morning, but it was in Iraq, right,

97
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:57,759
So it's like it's probably happening the same time as

98
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,720
our game, right, and you know we as I was

99
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,000
just saying, and so blessed and honor that in America

100
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,160
we have this chance we get to go play football.

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,439
And you know, I I I was like thinking, I'm

102
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,720
sure I was feeling pretty great about.

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: Myself after that game. A great game. I had a

104
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:15,800
good game, our team won.

105
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: But you know, it's important, I think to consider, like

106
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:22,759
at that same time, these guys are over there, you know,

107
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,680
liberty and justice putting their lives on the line. And

108
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,920
you know one of the guys that they talked about

109
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:32,519
in the podcast is that morning, you know, they're in

110
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,759
a fight and grenade bounces off his chest and he

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,600
has a decision to make. You know, he could have

112
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,879
gotten to safety, they say, right, and he popped on

113
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,480
the grenade and saved his two teammates who could not

114
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:53,040
have gotten to safety. He died from those rooms shortly after,

115
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:55,319
Navy seal Michael Monsur.

116
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: And so.

117
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,959
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like when I'm playing the national land

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,199
them tonight, it's like I've been really trying to think

119
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,680
about a lot. Like it's not about me, it's not

120
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:08,639
about like, hey, I'm gonna just like show off. It's like,

121
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,000
this is a moment for the United States of America

122
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:17,480
Veterans Day Week, and pay great honor to these people

123
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,240
that are just man much. They're the bravest, they're the

124
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,360
best of us to go out there and do things

125
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,800
and put their lives online, give their lives like that.

126
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:30,399
And so I just am incredibly honored to go do it.

127
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: Can't wait for it, And I love that.

128
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:37,079
Speaker 2: You know, your mindset is one of of pondering on

129
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,920
our nation and those that serve our nation in order

130
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:45,680
to provide stability and protections in peace in our lands.

131
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: Right, And like we just feel great. Look, this is entertainment, right,

132
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,959
this is this is college football. We love it.

133
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:55,519
Speaker 2: It's our escape from maybe the real world. There are

134
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:58,720
those out there that are on the front lines. Yeah,

135
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:02,319

00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,600
the details on it too. I can put that out

169
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:26,040
there so where you're prepped for this BYU TCU matchup. Obviously,

170
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:28,639
Johnny's gonna be playing the national anthem on his guitar.

171
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,879
And I know you keep tabs on this BAYU Cougar

172
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,360
football team.

173
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: What do you make of this team? What do you

174
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,559
like about it?

175
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,519
Speaker 2: What stood out to you as you've been watching this

176
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,960
Cougar football team led by Kalani Sataki head coach. And

177
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:44,639
you know, now Bear Bachmeier true freshman quarterback. It's been

178
00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:46,879
a while since a true freshman quarterback has been winning

179
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,159
at this rate. Uh with this much efficiency. It has

180
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,480
been pretty fun to watch, and his supporting cast deserves

181
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:53,279
a lot of that credit.

182
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: They've been a lot of fun to watch.

183
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:01,039
Speaker 1: You know, they're winning games, but it's a citing football

184
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,200
again too, there's a lot of playmakers. You're watching the

185
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,000
game and a good you know, handful of times you're

186
00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:10,679
gonna be up out of your seat. Something exciting is

187
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,720
going on, something's going somebody's going a little bit beyond their.

188
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 4: Job description.

189
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: And making a great play, making the ones that are tough,

190
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,080
and you know, it's it's so many different people too,

191
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,279
throughout this season, and in clutch moments when it's when

192
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,080
it's been needed other than last week.

193
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,159
Speaker 4: But besides that, it's it's been great.

194
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to win football games. You know that,

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,159
it's hard to win. You know what I would say,

196
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,759
what I've been talking about this week is BYU in

197
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:48,840
the modern era, and let's say from ninety six, we

198
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:51,000
had the eighty four season, eighty five, you know, the

199
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:53,080
early eighties and late seventies, right, we got to watch

200
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,799
that as fans.

201
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: You know, we were young. I was born in eighty two.

202
00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:58,159
I think you were eighty two or.

203
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: At eighty eighty two, eighty two as well, and so

204
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,879
we didn't get to partake of that, and then you

205
00:10:02,919 --> 00:10:05,120
had kind of like this this you know that the

206
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:07,639
late eighties, early nineties with Ti Demur, we got to

207
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,519
experience that a little bit, and then you had like

208
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:15,240
ninety six and then two thousand and one, and then

209
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:19,360
it came our era, right like from ninety six on, like,

210
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,639
we haven't been able to get over the hump into

211
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,399
that elite status right a BCS Bowl, a College Football

212
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,879
Playoff berth whereas other teams have Boise State has, TCU has,

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,559
Utah has, right UCF has like that. Our resume is

214
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,320
a program deserved to be in a power conference. We

215
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,720
were forced into independence and had to wander the desert

216
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,440
for over a decade, feeding off of and praying for

217
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,360
manna from.

218
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: Heaven, and we finally got the invite in hour here.

219
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: And we're in year three, and I'm wondering if this

220
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,039
is the year in which BYU gets over the hump. Right,

221
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,559
you gotta win tonight to do that, you gotta beat

222
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,919
Sincy on the road, you gotta beat uc up at home,

223
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,639
and then you have to be competitive versus Texas Tech,

224
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,200
most likely in the Big twelve Championship game in order

225
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,559
to get an at large bid to get into the

226
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,639
College Football Playoff.

227
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: What makes you believe that BYU, now in this.

228
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: Era, can get over the hump and do something that

229
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,600
we weren't able to do in our era.

230
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean their destiny is in their hands still, right,

231
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:27,240
Like they take care of business. And I don't know,

232
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,440
I mean each game, uh, you know, going into the

233
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,799
Utah game maybe too, it's like you look at it

234
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:41,240
and you know, Bear Bachmeyer freshman, and he's played unbelievably well, right.

235
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: And but you know, I don't know that.

236
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: I say, like I'm more and more comfortably and like,

237
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,000
all right, he's gonna make This guy is making plays,

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,399
He's consistent, he's not making these you know, bonehead plays

239
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:59,240
and ruining things. So yeah, my confidence just keeps growing

240
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,960
in him as he keeps keeps playing, making plays and

241
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,320
being the guy we need to. What would give me

242
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:08,960
a lot of confidence is bouncing back tonight.

243
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: They could not get anything going last week.

244
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Gotta have some guys stepping up making plays, like you know,

245
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,159
a couple of drops here and there, and it's like,

246
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,519
you know, how many can you have of those? If

247
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,240
you're really trying to get up over that hump? Like

248
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,399
you said, it would be so awesome to see because yeah,

249
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,759
like you know, there's been several teams that had it

250
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,720
right there, right, and in like two thousand and six,

251
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:39,279
our team that was a possibility dropped a couple games

252
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,799
early on. I think, you know, barely right, and I

253
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,519
think we hadn't quite found our identity at that point either.

254
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:49,440
But by the way, like after really after that TCU

255
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,879
game I mentioned earlier, it's like we've got things rolling.

256
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: It's like, and the way we were playing was definitely

257
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,480
at that level, like we could have played with anybody.

258
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,519
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no doubt, and we should have been. We

259
00:12:59,559 --> 00:12:59,960
should have been.

260
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: We get all the hump, you know, one one play here,

261
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,879
one play there. That's all it took. And the ball

262
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,279
has to bounce your way. Sometimes you make those.

263
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,879
Speaker 4: Plays, you know, when teams lose.

264
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I always see fans, it seems

265
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,960
like they are so hesitant, like they want to tell

266
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,639
nobody wants to criticize the players, which is fine, but

267
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,279
like they always want to kind of say like it's okay,

268
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,279
it's still a successful season, and there's these conversations about

269
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,080
was it a success or was it not. It's like, look,

270
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,159
I have no problem somebody saying, man, it's a freaking

271
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,320
shame that we lost those two games early on. It's like,

272
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,360
of course, we would have loved to go to that

273
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,679
next level. It's like, I have no problem. You know,

274
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:43,919
we're not fragile. We can handle Yeah, we're not.

275
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 4: We can handle it.

276
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: We remember everything, you know, but where we lived with.

277
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Our Yeah yeah we get We get it from the coaches,

278
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,759
you know. So it's like this fan cretis that we

279
00:13:56,799 --> 00:13:58,720
can handle it and we're gonna be all right.

280
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,159
Speaker 2: What makes you believe that, Ba, you can come out

281
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,240
victorious tonight?

282
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: Give me a little bit of a score prediction. How

283
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:06,720
do you see this game playing out by three and

284
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,720
a half point favorite.

285
00:14:08,039 --> 00:14:11,039
Speaker 2: They're coming off a loss, twenty two point loss versus

286
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:11,720
Texas Tech.

287
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: It's a late night kick.

288
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,799
Speaker 2: The Vampire Cougars will be out and about, I imagine,

289
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,320
and playing good ball on.

290
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,399
Speaker 3: Their home field. It should be a sold out crowd.

291
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:23,399
Speaker 2: I hope all the seats are filled and that they

292
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,799
show up, show out and rise and shouting, are loud

293
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,559
and proud.

294
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: What gives me confidence is just you know what I've

295
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,759
seen so far this year, They've always been able to

296
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:33,679
come up with plays.

297
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:36,919
Speaker 4: Of course, besides last week.

298
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: We'll throw that in there one more time, but like

299
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,639
when the pressure has been on, they've come up with plays,

300
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,440
and so hopefully they find that identity again tonight.

301
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:47,159
Speaker 4: There's no reason why they couldn't do that.

302
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: They got to bounce back if they're going to keep

303
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,679
their destiny in their hands and have that type of

304
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,840
season where they're getting into that playoff. And yeah, I

305
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,559
mean just the way who these guys are. They step

306
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,480
up in them moment, they're making plays, So I have

307
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:07,159
confidence in them. I know nothing about TCU, so you know,

308
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,440
I'm gonna take my analysis.

309
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: Do you remember about the TCU team though in six

310
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,279
I mean that was an eleven win team. Yeah, that

311
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,039
BYU that we beat on their own at their home stadium.

312
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: And they're like.

313
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:22,639
Speaker 2: That's what they did from two thousand to twenty twenty five,

314
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,399
Like it seems like seventy percent. I think it is

315
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:30,559
seventy percent of their Their seasons are double digit win seasons,

316
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,440
ten plus wins.

317
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:33,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're awesome program.

318
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: You know, when we played them in two thousand and five,

319
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,720
it was the first year that they were in the conference, right,

320
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,399
and we were pounded them pretty good.

321
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 4: Our offense was rolling.

322
00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: I kind of thought, like it you kind of have

323
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:47,440
the feel of the game over in the third quarter, which.

324
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not saying I was letting up or anything.

325
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,399
Speaker 1: But I don't know what happened they got I think

326
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:56,320
they had a kick return, they got a couple long plays,

327
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,879
and that's when we ended up losing in overtime. So

328
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,240
the next year, they ended up winning the conference that year, right,

329
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,720
And then the next year when we went down to

330
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,120
two thousand and went down there two thousand and six,

331
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:08,840
it was kind of like, man, they are they've been

332

rolling since then? Yeah, right, like they they had they

333
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:13,600

334
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,080
streak in the country. We went down there and they

335
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,279
had a.

336
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: Great defense, top twenty rank, and but I.

337
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,399
Speaker 1: Remember kind of thinking I got in the elevator with

338
00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:26,080
coach and I one on one just happened.

339
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: Hey, hold that elevator.

340
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:31,720

343
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,399
Speaker 1: He was asking me, he's just you know, the one

344
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,519
on one coach conversation in the in the elevator, and

345
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,799
he's asking me, like, how do you feel about the game,

346
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,519
And I'm just like, hey, we're uh we did a

347
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:53,399
like we put a ton of points on him. I

348
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,000
know we can go score on him. And and we

349
00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:01,840
did so offense played great defense, stepped up some created

350
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,720
some great turnovers.

351
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: So that was That was one of my favorite games.

352
00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 3: Like I said, yeah, I still remember the over route.

353
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,759
Speaker 2: Still remember the over route, that that high point over

354
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,640
route spin you know, Okay, and I got stumbling to

355
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,440
the almost to the end zone. You should have scored

356
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,599
a touchdown. I can't believe you fell short. I was

357
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,519
ticked off about it.

358
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 4: Oh that's two thousand and five, that was all. Oh, yeah,

359
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,039

360
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:26,839

363
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: I caught one on there and the safety hit me

364
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:44,279
and I pinballed and the linebacker came and hit me

365
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,839
right in the back ribs and that was painful. But

you know, you pop up. You don't let her know

367
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,519

368
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,200
region where the the training staff was like, well, it's
