Speaker 1: You were listening to Cougar Sports with Ben Krittle and

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,080
it's time for a Cougar Insider report. Now, let's get

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,599
that for a prietary inside scoop on Cougar Sports from Cridle.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,400
Welcome back to Cougar Sports here on one O three

5
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:14,839

as well Vic Cram on the data aggregation. A lot

9
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:25,519
of people wonder what had been take off to look, guys,

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,320
we always talk about breaking news and things that happened.

11
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:31,239
Just to let you guys know, Uh, Kalanie Sataki, we

12
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:33,200
got ping. Ben is taken off to head to a

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,320
press conference that we just were informed of. That's right,

14
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:41,039
Uh Kalinie Sataki, we know got the extension. So Ben

15
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:43,200
has actually headed down to BYU right now, I think

16
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,200
that that press conference is going to be happening. He'll

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,719
be a tenant in person, but you can catch it

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,640
that it's gonna be. The conference is going to be

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,799
live and available on BYU Cougar's YouTube. So go to

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,439
YouTube and then type in bou Cougars and you go

21
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,200
to their YouTube page as well. They won't be Ben

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,960
won't be getting a one on one interview. I think

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,399
with Klania, we'll see if we are able to get

24
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,000
in tomorrow. I know that normally he makes his rounds

25
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:09,680
for signing day, but we'll see if that sound or

26
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:11,599
if that will be available to you guys. We'll discuss

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,439
that later if that's the possibility. But don't know, don't know.

28
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Live from our Bandowelf Studios.

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,000

00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:19,159
Speaker 1: Just want to remind you guys as well. I know

coming up. Esp and the Fan and the Rocky Mountain

00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,359
Visit espnefan dot com for dealer locations, spread the warmp

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,439
and help others find their way home. Guys. I just

38
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,040
want to talk about this. Look. I don't reveal too

39
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,599
much about always a lot of people have known my story.

40
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,840
I know that it's made cougar board and people have

41
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:49,840
talked about that in my perspective, but I just want

42
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:51,840
to give you guys a little bit of more of

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,159
a perspective of my family growing up. With my mom

44
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,920
lost her job, we had to have the Bishop Storehouse,

45
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,359
right crazy. I remember us sleeping on the floor at

46
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:04,200
my mom's job. They said, if you don't show up

47
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,280
and work, we're gonna fire you. And I remember me

48
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,159
and my three sisters. That happened. I remember like those yesterday.

49
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:11,159
It was a tough time. But these things that they

50
00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:14,039
do in Utah look for us to give back, especially

51
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:15,879
for the holiday seasons. A lot of us aren't fortunate.

52
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:18,199
I'm very grateful for the church for the storehouse, and

53
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,599
I know this is not necessarily the Road Home specifically,

54
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,280
but I'm grateful for those that uplifted and took care

55
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:26,039
and that gave donations to my family and help because

56
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,280
I'm in a position now that one day I hope

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,159
I can work hard enough and give back. So again,

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,680
right now, ESPN and the Rocky Mountain Chevy Dealers invite

59
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,759
you to help those at the Road Home this holiday

60
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:39,800
season with needed blankets, coach shoes, hats, gloves, everything. Drop

61
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,879
off donations at any Rocky Mountain Chevy dealer. You gotta

62
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,360
visit our website to espndefan dot com for dealer locations,

63
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,800

64
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,000
We need to help everybody this holiday season, help others

65
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,240
in needs. So I hope all of you will do

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,680
that this holiday season. Back to the news at hand,

67
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,639

get a talk ball with this man, but I only

76
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,879

00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,919
him exactly what's going on, tells me what the price

78
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000

00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,560

Don't wait, get it done now before Christmas so you

00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:56,879
on the road with your family than get into an accident.

91
00:03:56,919 --> 00:04:01,639
But guys. BYU Athletic Director excuse me. Brian Santiago has

92
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:05,520
announced at the university and head coach Kline Sataki have

93
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:09,560
agreed to a long term contract extension that will keep

94
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,599
Sataki at the helm of BYU at the football program.

95
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,399
Kline says this on the matter. Excuse me. Brian says

96
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:19,240
this on the matter. We are excited to announce the

97
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,399
long term agreement to extend Kalini Sataki as BYU. BYU's

98
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,199
head football coach Santiago said, he's a proven leader and

99
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,439
we are grateful that he is once again chosen BYU.

100
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,839
His legacy of building a championship program the BYU A

101
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:38,199
will continue. He is one of the best people in

102
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,560
the business. We are excited to continue to ride the

103
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,360
way of a positive momentum with them. Sataki, guys, has

104
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:45,839
led the Cougars to back to back seasons of eleven

105
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,040
wins for the first time since two thousand and six,

106
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,399
two thousand and seven, that's when been played. It's crazy

107
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,720
BYUS twenty two and three record eight. Think about this

108
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:57,120
point eight eight zero one percentage. Eighty eight one percentage, guys,

109
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,279
that's not easy to do, especially in a Power four conference.

110
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:03,720
He's done that over the last two seasons. Ranks number

111
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,879
four in college foot in number four overall in college football,

112
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:11,680
with only Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana having a better

113
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,240
win percentage. Let that sink in these other programs, other programs,

114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,920
Ohio State organ not even an SEC program. It's Kilani

115
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,600
up there. Only Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana have a

116
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,480
better win percentage, Not Alabama, not Georgia. Man, that's all Kilani.

117
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,360
Back to back seasons of eleven wins first time since

118
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,879
two six and two thousand and seven. That's tough. That's tough.

119
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:38,879
Under Sataki, Bauh has been eighty three and seventy seven

120
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,240
since twenty sixteen, with a zero point six five to

121
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,439
four to one percentage and with eighty three of his

122
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:49,040
victories ranking number seventeen. Naturally, during his tenure, the Cougars

123
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,680
have won double digit games under Kilane's leadership in for

124
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:53,920
the past six seasons. Look, that's not easy to do,

125
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,759
to be consistently competing at a high level, to get

126
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,240
into the Big twelve, to be competitive and independence. I

127
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,800
still call him the Pac twelve Soule Champions. That might

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360
make Utah fans Matt don't care, but that's just the

129
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,000
way it is. Like they did that. Remember he beat

130
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240
the lights of Jackson Dart. Know that was baby Dart

131
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,079
when he was at USC, but still won that game.

132
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:14,800
So Kline's got a lot of good wins to the resume.

133
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:20,000
This raises promotion I always called raiss promotion. Is it's

134
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,720
well well earned, well earned. The nil that's coming with

135
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,000
it well earned as well. Gotta be competitive. This is

136
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,319
Kalanie's market rate. Look for the old money in the

137
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,560
old heads and people, Oh why can't Bo you just

138
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:33,600
keep things the same. The people that are against this, look,

139
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,079
maybe you're retired. Maybe things are different in the eighties

140
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:38,879
and in the nineties, but we're not in those times.

141
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:41,000
I always tell my mom. She gets mad at me.

142
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,000
I'm like, you're a boomer, and people might feel like

143
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,879
that's taking a shot. But the times have changed. You're

144
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,040
in a power for conference, TV deals, television money. BA

145
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:52,639
Athletics raises its own money and donors are helping out.

146
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,560
And again, you can't tell people what they can do

147
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:57,000
with their money. I always have to remind people that.

148
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,720
And why would you be upset that someone wants to

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,199
have this man at the helm and wants to keep

150
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,920
him in place, and that they're helping out. Again, Look,

151
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,959
this is Christmas, come early to b WHATU fans someone's

152
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,920
helping like, don't be upset about their rejoicing these times.

153
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:15,360
For the longest people complained, oh, BYU can't be competitive.

154
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,079
Oh they're doing it the b yua and things are

155
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,240
working out now, guess what, it's the b yu A.

156
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:22,680
Not only is it the b yu A, it's working

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,839
out fantastic. You got the defensive coordinator that you want,

158
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,560
You got the OC, you got the quarterback that you like.

159
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,839
You got a future four star, five star quarterback wherever

160
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:34,920
you look at the composite rankings coming in. We'll see

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,560
if he signs tomorrow early tomorrow's signing day. The signing

162
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,920
class tomorrow is gonna be really impressive to people. One

163
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,920
of Kilani's best, the top thirty maybe you know, top

164
00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:45,839
twenty five, top twenty class. You gotta give him credit.

165
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,079
It's one of the best classes in BYU history. It's

166
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,800
up there. It's a top three class, top five class.

167
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,600
All that's happened under the leadership of Kilane. Like Brian

168
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:56,600
Santiago said, he's been a proven leader, proven leader, and

169
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,800
again we are grateful he once again has chosen to

170
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,040
be He could have not. Kline could have said, no,

171
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,920
I'm gonna go to Penn State, even though you guys

172
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:05,199
are gonna give me all of this. I think that

173
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:07,759
what a lot of people forget. Just because a person

174
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:10,319
signs the deal, they could leave if they wanted to,

175
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,360
like they could Lane Kiffin left, Oh, miss Felis you

176
00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:16,639
probably because of resources. He could have left if he

177
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,360
wanted to, but he chose not to. That has to

178
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,839
be taken into account. Kilonie wants to be here when

179
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:23,519
he had every reason to go not to Big ten.

180
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,680
Take his defensive coordinator probably could jip a handful of

181
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:29,680
members on the staff. I shouldn't even say, Jip, that's

182
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,920
has a negative connotation to it. Take the staff he's

183
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,720
built with him, take the recruits he has. The portal

184
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,879
would have been hard. Like I'm not trying to be

185
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,360
rude and speculate, but if Jay Hill would have gone

186
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,879
and Klonnie would have been at Penn State, these are

187
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,480
ifs now and it's not gonna happen, not even if

188
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,399
it's just not gonna happen. Follow Tasa Tuala would have

189
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,399
gone as well, playing for Jay Hill. I know he

190
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,039
said it was a coin flip, but like, come on,

191
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,159
when you say, oh, Jay Hill wanted me, Like when

192
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:54,039
you're saying that to me in an interview, like you

193
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,960
gonna lose him? Would you lose news? He thought up

194
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,279
al Would Keanu play in for a Big ten school

195
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,799
if he were to come back? Would Isaiah Glasker come

196
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,399
back and go? Like you have to think about all

197
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:06,879
of that. This effects the nature and landscape. LJ. Martin, Right,

198
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,879
look what Saquon Barkley did at Penn State. Would l J.

199
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,200
Martin come back for that last year, get paid a

200
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,799
good pretty penny and then go to Penn State if

201
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:17,600
that had been the case, Like, this effects the future

202
00:09:17,639 --> 00:09:21,080
of BAU football and the and sets the tone for

203
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:23,559
the rest of the football program in the athletic department.

204
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:28,279
This was pivotal. This was imperative that this happened. It

205
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,480
was imperative that you get this deal done and that

206
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:32,960
you keep Colonie Sataki in in Prova because it could

207
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,200
have been a travesty of everything that you work for

208
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,159
and this guy being the face the modern day you know,

209
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:40,519
Lovella as we say, but the Polynesian Lovell as he

210
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,080
calls himself. Man, you just you can't buy you can't

211
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,360
buy that stock anywhere else. That's all have to say.

212
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,240
Finish up on the last couple of things with the article,

213
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:51,039
Colonie said, I am humble and full of gratitude for

214
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720
the outpouring of love from Bae's fan base and the

215
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,600
trust and support provided to our football program by the

216
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,399
university leadership. Sataki said, I'm thankful to President Shane Reese,

217
00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:03,720
Vice President Keith Vorking, and our athletic Director Bron Santiago

218
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,799
and his leadership team for the confidence they continue to

219
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:09,360
place in me to lead our program and to take

220
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:12,080
care of our players, coaches, and staff. Think about that,

221
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,519
that's the already he cares in players, which is most important,

222
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,240
coaches and staff, the rest of the staff. That's what

223
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Kalanie cares about. And he got it done. So shout

224
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,879
out to you, Kilanie. You got everybody taken care of.

225
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200
That's what a good leader does. A good leader doesn't

226
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,159
just say hey, help me out. There's this video or

227
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,440
meme or picture that I see. The boss just yells

228
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,000
at people in the chair. In the chair and people

229
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,159
are pulling like the wagon or whatever with the rope.

230
00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:38,960
A leader is pulling in front and is directing and

231
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,039
is talking and doing the gritty work too, and Klanie

232
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,240
is one that does it. In my opinion, this is

233
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:45,840
good for the stability and future of BAU football. I'm

234
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,600
excited about our future. His words, this is good for

235
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:52,000
the stability. They needed this stability and you needed it.

236
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:53,840
I know people don't like talking about it, but you

237
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,840
had to have this in place. With basketball doing what

238
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:59,039
it's doing. Football needed to have the same type of

239
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:02,320
you know resources, if not more they do. They drive

240
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,399
the ship. You have to have it. BAU football is that.

241
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,759
I will always joke and poke and say yeah, but

242
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:10,240
is it really football? We know what it is. We

243
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,879
know the face that runs the place. All jokes aside.

244
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,399
You have me saying it on record. There it is,

245
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,360
so there's no need to talk about it anymore. Kalani's

246
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:21,639
gonna have allocation, is gonna be able to pay players,

247
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,159
be competitive. Look, Crew Jones committed to Oklahoma. He's in

248
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,679
your backyard. Can't lose out on him. I've been I've

249
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,240
been so open about that. Can't lose on players like that.

250
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,799
But maybe the NIL is able to keep guys like

251
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,720
that here now because Jo has a good defense as well. Yeah,

252
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:40,080
it's Oklahoma, but like what was with the package? You

253
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,240
never know? You never know. Since joining the Big twelve

254
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,039
and twenty twenty three, Kline has tied for the best

255
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,759
record in the conference in both twenty twenty four and

256
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360
twenty twenty five. In this year, earning a place in

257
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:54,879
the Big Twelve Conference championship after an AID and one

258
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,679
league record this season, phenomenal job. No, they wanted to

259
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,200
be undefeated, but it doesn't matter because everything rites on Saturday.

260
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,679
You win and you're in. That's exactly what it's going

261
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:06,720
to come down to. Can be why you get it done.

262
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,080
But I think how Kalani has championed this program to

263
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,600
culturally be founded on love and learning, being humble and hungry.

264
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,519
Excuse me, this culture is founded upon love and learning,

265
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,039
being humble and hungry. Because of that, Kalanie Shataki is

266
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,879
about to go down as I think the greatest coach

267
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:28,840
in BYU history win it's all said and done, He's

268
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,080
got to win a lot more. He's got to do

269
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,080
a lot but because he built this program on that.

270
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,240
In the article, it says that in this press release

271
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:38,039
he has championing this program to coachually be founded on

272
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,960
love and learning, being humble and hungry. That will carry

273
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,080
him to being the best BYU football coach of all

274
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,960
time and one of the greatest to ever do it.

275
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,879
I believe that is I believe this is the man

276
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:50,600
that can lead BYU to a national championship. I truly

277
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,639
do believe that you got him locked in for a lucrative,

278
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,320
long term deal. This is the day. It needs to

279
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,399
be celebrated in BYU's history. And look the momentum first,

280
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,039
Kevin Young, Mark pub leives. What's gonna happen? Hey, you

281
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,720
get to an NCAA tournament. Kevin Young comes sweet sixteen.

282
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,440
Boe has a great season last year momentum. You get

283
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,480
aj debonsa number one JUCO, number one year old, number

284
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,200
one high school and now football as well. You got

285
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,200
Keanu Tonavas, one of the best editions in the state

286
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,279
of Utah that was in a portal down to your school.

287
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,759
You're going to the Big Toe Our Championship. Kialanie got

288
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:27,159

00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,159
able to do. Ryder Lions top recruit What else do

00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:42,039

00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,960

your first cleanup with Bresa Cleaning Services. Look, people always

351
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:19,120
want to know why do you do Cougar bytes around

352
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,879
with Bear Bachmeiner. That's because it's a bite. It's a

353
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,960
long It is literally bred a bite this man. I

354
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,039
think the longest answer I've seen him give is twenty

355
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,120
five to thirty seconds. I always say, you want to

356
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,519
know something, don't ask Bear. It's not a shot. Don't

357
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:34,799
ask the quarterback. He's gonna be straight to the point.

358
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:37,759
Now he might be doing a typical freshman pr train, short,

359
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:39,320
to the point. But I also believe this is who

360
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,679
Bear is. Yeah, now, demember back in the day, ALJ

361
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,639
used to be kind of to not say too much.

362
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: And now as he's grown and grown as a football

363
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,120
player but also grown like in the media, training and

364
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,200
all that stuff, and now LJ gave his great answers.

365
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,039
He's so well spoken, he's so element and again not

366
00:16:55,159 --> 00:16:57,360
that Bear's not. I just don't think his brain works

367
00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,360
that way. He's not thinking like how can I communicate.

368
00:16:59,879 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: To the media.

369
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,879
Speaker 3: He is literally just going to answer the question that

370
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:06,640
you asked, whether it's yes, no, whatever it is. He's

371
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,920
not focused on giving you a great answer. He's literally

372
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,680
just focused on answering your question.

373
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,839
Speaker 1: That is it, That is it? That is all. How

374
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:14,559
to do, how to do tipic, kip of the cap,

375
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,079
That's what bart Bachmeyer is, That's what he does. So

376
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,200
I just want to always make that clear. That's why

377
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,400
kugerybody's straight to the point. But look, I think he

378
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,680
is gonna get better in the media, kind of like

379
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:26,079
Jared Hall, same thing kind of happened. So look, give

380
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,559
them time, give them time and all will work out.

381
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,240
But gonna get into this Bear bachmeer Son. He addressed

382
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,920
everything in the post game in regards to Bo He's

383
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,039
forty one to twenty one win over UCF. Look, it

384
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,480
was a scary performance in that first quarter, and you

385
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,960
can't really say, oh, they had him in the first half.

386
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,240
They had him in the first quarter. But man, not

387
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,000
the start that you want to see. We said it

388
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:50,279
yesterday in a couple of segments. We'll say it again today.

389
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,519
If you start that slow against Texas Tech, boy, oh me,

390
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,240
oh my, oh me, oh my, it's not gonna look

391
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,960
good for you. Those that are NBA basketball fans will understand.

392
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,519
And that right there. Anyway, let's get into the questions.

393
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:05,279
This is where the questions that myself and other media

394
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,440
members asked Baron bacameyer in the post game. Let's start

395
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,799
with number one Bear. Last year, b, what you came

396
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,079
up short getting to the title game? What does it

397
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,039
mean to get to the title game this year?

398
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it means a lot, and and especially on on

399
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Senior Day, and and yeah, I mean we've worked.

400
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,039
Speaker 4: So hard and and just to see the hard work

401
00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:28,319
pay off.

402
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: But but you know, we know, we know, we gotta

403
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,440
big task head and we gotta we gotta go attack.

404
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:36,079
Speaker 1: They do have a big task in hand. Texas Tech

405
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,200
is the real deal. Look, I'm just gonna be honest,

406
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,680
and I'll keep saying this, Brad, Texas Tech is just

407
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,200
not the best team in the Big Twelve. They might

408
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,799
be the best team in the country. I think they're

409
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:45,160
the best team in the country. Dude. I think they're

410
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,599
gonna take out your Georgia Bulldog. I really think they are.

411
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:51,039
Speaker 3: I still can't believe the Georgia Bulldogs are even gonna

412
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:51,680
make the playoffs.

413
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,079
Speaker 1: I think they'll lose this week to Alabama. Really yeah,

414
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:57,079
because being declared if about that, that just makes things worse.

415
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,039
Speaker 3: Look, if you know anything about the University of Georgia,

416
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:01,920
it's that Alabama could roll out second graders on that team.

417
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,839
As they got the crimson tied on their jerseys. They

418
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,400
will be Georgia because they got immensely but coo to

419
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960
that point, I think if George matches up to Texas Tech,

420
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,160
they will lose BYU is gonna have to have the

421
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,799
game of their life to beat Texas Tech. Because to

422
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,039
your point, you saw you already tried that once you

423
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,599
saw what happened when you started slow against Texas Tech

424
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:25,799
a few weeks and remember that, yeah, exactly, So you

425
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:27,599
gotta find a new way to do this. And look,

426
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:30,839
if you know, as an offense, hey, this it just

427
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,759
might be another slow start for us because we got

428
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,680
to figure out how we can get the ball to

429
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,319
the edges, how we can avoid this Texas Tech front

430
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,519
seven until we can find a way to tire them

431
00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:40,319
out and beat them.

432
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,079
Speaker 1: If you know that's gonna be the case, the.

433
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: Boy's defense has got to hang on for a quarter,

434
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,880
maybe a quarter and a half until the buoy offingson.

435
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: Figure it out. Now.

436
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: We've also heard the question post to a Rod before, Hey,

437
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:55,160
how do you get your team to start faster and

438
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,400
not have these slow starts? And a Rod doesn't think

439
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,279
that the team starts slow now unequivvaled definitively in this

440
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:06,160
game and the Texas Tech game, you started slow offensively.

441
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,839
So maybe you find a new way because you've already

442
00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:11,359
played Texas Tech once. Maybe you feel like you got

443
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,000
some guys healthy by not playing everybody last week.

444
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, awesome.

445
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,599
Speaker 3: However, the point remains, you cannot do what you did

446
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,319
against UCF or what you did against Texas Tech the

447
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,880
first time the second time around, because you will lose.

448
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,599
You get is very rare in life that you get

449
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:32,519
to do over and if if you're gonna get this opportunity,

450
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,960
you best not waste it.

451
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,319
Speaker 1: Best not wasted. Look, and what needs to happen is this.

452
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:38,079
I know there are a lot of media people out there

453
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,559
and people saying, oh, well, you know Arizona State b

454
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,440
Tech Tech how though, how oh and they went quick

455
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,799
to the edges, you know, and you speed and got

456
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:48,640
the bottom in the hands of it. Yeah, but do

457
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,240
you know what happened before that in the first quarter,

458
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:54,440
in the first half again, what happened you guys can't

459
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,519
pull it out because you weren't paying attention. Like, look,

460
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,079
just don't listen to what all of eve, including myself,

461
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,839
the media people say sometimes don't just take that whether

462
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,519
they have played before, whether they've been working this business

463
00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:07,200
a long time. You have to watch the game. Sam

464
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,359
Levitt hit on two chunk yardage plays fifty to fifty balls.

465
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,480
One I would say it was they're even lucky. What

466
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,960
did that do to the defensive coordinator? Yep on the

467
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:17,720
road he got nervous and the offense coordinated with the

468
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:20,880
backup quarterback, who's very who's well him. It's a great quarterback.

469
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,759
By the way, they'll be just fine when Baron Morton

470
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,480
is gone. That forced him to be like, okay, wait

471
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:28,000
then your quick out routes getting the ball to Jordan

472
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:31,000
Tyson run the ball that had Texas Tech scampered. If

473
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:32,839
BYU doesn't do that, if you don't hit a deep

474
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,799
shot to like that Chase ball to Chase, if you

475
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,839
can't push the ball vertically and give fair time to throw,

476
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,920
if Parker can't run those over the middles, if you

477
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,200
can't make checks to Texas Tech chase you, if you

478
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,640
cannot spread them out and actually make them play man

479
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,519
to man, it's not gonna work well for you. It

480
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:49,359
won't work. And that's the only reason to work well

481
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,359
for Arizona State. I just have to be declared of

482
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,920
and say that because a lot of people are like, oh,

483
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,440
look what Arizona stated. Yeah, but they basically played backyard football.

484
00:21:57,279 --> 00:21:58,680
Let me BYU this for you guys.

485
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: They basically had Zach back Wilson throwing to Tedoroa McMillan.

486
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:05,279
That's essentially what happened literally, and Sam Levitt was able

487
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:06,960
to run around for long enough and as soon as

488
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,960
you break three to four seconds, any defense is breaking down.

489
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: You're not hanging on for that long.

490
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and so Texas Tech's defense, while structurally it was great,

491
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,039
when it came to finding time being special playing backyard

492
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:21,920
football with Arizona State, it's very hard to do that.

493
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:24,240
And again once you did it a couple times, and

494
00:22:24,279 --> 00:22:27,119
Baron Morton, we know, took some shots in that game.

495
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: And and so if your bou doesn't have.

496
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 3: The ability to play backyard football the way that Arizona

497
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,920
State did, and so you're gonna have to find a

498
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:39,799
new way different than that and certainly different when you

499
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:40,759
did the first time around.

500
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Look, if you win, you're in, and if you don't,

501
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,400
you still might not be going to the college football playoffs.

502
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,799
So what do you have to lose? Let it rip,

503
00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,480
Let bear rip it. Bring everything out of your playbook,

504
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:51,160
so everything who cares? Who cares? Because guess what the

505
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,400
next game you're going to play in is the ball

506
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,720
game probably going to be your last one because you're

507
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,799
not going to the college football playoffs. Can advance, So

508
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,119
let everything and I expect ay Rod to do. So

509
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:02,079
let's get back to this sound Bear is the third

510
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,160
time you guys have fallen, as we said to a

511
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,920
fourteen nothing whole. What is it about your ability to

512
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:09,000
rally back? You had thirty one un answered.

513
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately, you've been there a couple times and you

514
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,799
don't want to be there. But har or Coachtocky harps

515
00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:20,440
on the lodge, just culture at BYU and just trussing

516
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,039
the guy next to you to get their job done,

517
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:23,359
and just comes down to execution.

518
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,559
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to. None of this culture

519
00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:28,160
stuff and all of that rallying back. Look, every team

520
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,519
is bought in and they think they could come back,

521
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,319
So I'm not trying to take a shot of By's culture,

522
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,440
but like, no, it's it's executing. They didn't execute in

523
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,519
the first quarter. The defense put the offense in a

524
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:38,519
bad situation pressure, there was no momentum. They played great,

525
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:41,759
complimentary football. They have to so the defense, offensive, special

526
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:43,599
teams has to play it well less it's the way

527
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,400
it goes. UCS defense came out a little bit. BOE's

528
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000
offensive line was playing a little bit sluggish. I would say,

529
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,720
weren't maybe finishing blocks away this shit. It weren't being

530
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,920
as violent. And UCF got home and they had a

531
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,000
couple of three and outs, and then the UCFS offense

532
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:57,960
said we will not be denied because they had to

533
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,400
get for eligible. And then he turned it on in

534
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,839
the second quarter. Dare I say that some seniors are

535
00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:06,480
making senior mistakes? And look, that was it. So I

536
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,880
promise you that's not gonna happen this next game. They're

537
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,759
not gonna They can't afford to start slow defensively, and

538
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:14,000
it's never this is the issue. The issue has been

539
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,960
and I agree with Kalani with us, but they have

540
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:19,400
not played collectively their best ball because you've had issues

541
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,240
where the defense has started slow or the offense has

542
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:25,720
started slow. You've never had both of those come together

543
00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:27,400
where they've been able to make it work. And I

544
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,000
think that's the biggest issue is you have not seen

545
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,079
the offense start fast or the defense hold out. Excuse me,

546
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,359
against a very good football team. Now TCU good football

547
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,160
team where it's at, and they were having some struggles

548
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,799
at the end. Iowa State good football team. That's the

549
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,480
only games you could really say that bou had formidable

550
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,240
opponents where they executed. The UCF not good coming back.

551
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:49,200
West Virginia not a good football team. Right, So the

552
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:51,480
issue is you're starting to slow against bad football teams

553
00:24:51,519 --> 00:24:54,039
sometimes and even the good ones that you should be

554
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,799
putting away. You're really didn't a non conference and you

555
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,519
did against Iowa State against TCU. But I'm telling you,

556
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,319
if you go three and out to start your first

557
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,119
two drives on Saturday, it's olver mafo mess around and

558
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:07,599
find out.

559
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: Except I'm using a different word, yes, because again, if

560
00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:14,400
you mess around with Texas SEC, I know it's beating

561
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,119
a drug. I know we're beating the same drum. I

562
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,279
know we're beating a dead horse, all that stuff. But

563
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,799
I truly believe Texas Tech might be the best team

564
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:24,079
in the college football playoffs. I think they could probably

565
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,920
be any of those teams up there at the top.

566
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:29,279
They may go ahead and go to the national championship game.

567
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,799
You come to the King, you best not miss, and

568
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,599
you cannot afford the slow start. Now, what I will

569
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,599
say is I do feel like that last home game

570
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,279
of the season sometimes BOU was just a little sluggish.

571
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:46,440
You remember last year against Houston, you knew BOU was

572
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,599
gonna win the whole time, but you felt like they

573
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,880
should have played better against Houston than they did. That

574
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,319
kind of let them hang around for a little bit,

575
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,599
even though you never thought BOI was gonna lose that game.

576
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that that could be part of it.

577
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,519
Speaker 3: And then what happened the first game they played after

578
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,519
that Houston game, which I know was a few weeks

579
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:04,640
later than this one's going to be. But remember when

580
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,160
everyone talked all that mess about oh, BYU is not

581
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,680
good enough to compete with Colorado, and.

582
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: BYU threw their best punch.

583
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: Now you're not going to get to do against a

584
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,960
Texas Tech what you did to Colorado last year. They're

585
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,119
also not going to give you propaganda exactly. And if

586
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,480
they talked, they know they're good enough where you go

587
00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:25,799
to get quiet Texas Tech. They're not that dumb. This

588
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,799
is a smart football team. However, the point remains the same.

589
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:30,400
You got to bring your best punch to that game.

590
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:33,880
And again, you cannot start slow on offense and you

591
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,839
cannot start slow on defense. I'm trying to remember. So

592
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,119
it was UCF Iowa State, which was the other game

593
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,680
that they were down fourteen to, oh Colorado Colorado. Yep, Yeah,

594
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:48,640
you're right, yep. And I mean, what's incredible about I

595
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,799
guess not really the UCF one because you were at home.

596
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,319
But the other two if you think about it, like

597
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,519
we didn't know how bad Colorado was at the time,

598
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,720
and because they were competitive and it was really bears

599
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,319
first true road environment in a P four game early September.

600
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,400
Even the East Carolina game, that game now looks really

601
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,359
good as well, because I believe East Carolina is eight

602
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,119
and four right now.

603
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: To be honestly, you could argue maybe played better in

604
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:12,039
the Carolina game if he did the color game. You

605
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:14,680
can make that argument, but the point being you're not

606
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:17,839
getting it would be really concerning if their fourteen point

607
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,640
deficits had all come at home, two of them came

608
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,680
on the road, and they that I don't think it

609
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:23,400
was fourteen points.

610
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,039
Speaker 3: But they did have to play behind in that Arizona

611
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,839
game as well, that was on the road. So this

612
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:31,720
is a BYU team that can play from behind. Fortunately,

613
00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:34,200
there's gonna be less Texas Tech fans. It's not gonna

614
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,480
be absent of the Red Raiders, because again it's it's

615
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,880
a few hours down the road. But it is a

616
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:44,039
little bit of a boost to know that you're capable

617
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,279
if you have to play from behind.

618
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,079
Speaker 1: But you just you can't do it for too long

619
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,240
because they're the white sex Tech will capitalize one humdercent.

620
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:52,480
They're definitely gonna capitalize if you do it, you could.

621
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,799
They don't have a ben don't break. They have a

622
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,000
don't break at all, So you're gonna have to really

623
00:27:57,039 --> 00:27:59,359
expose them. We'll see what happens. Number three Bear, the

624
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,079
first quarter was different than the rest of the game.

625
00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:05,079
Did they show you something different that you weren't prepared for? No,

626
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:05,559
not really.

627
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: I mean we just, uh, you know, we just weren't

628
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,240
weren't playing our best and uh yeah at that point,

629
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,759
I think we had like three plays and uh, pretty

630
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:17,640
long duration in that first quarter. So it's just kind

631
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,359
of slow for for U, for us. But yeah, we

632
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,720
just kind of we had we knew we had to

633
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:23,319
bounce back, and I thought we responded well.

634
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they responded well, and yeah, there was nothing that

635
00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:29,119
they didn't We've heard the Heavan Johnson's sound. Nope, couldn't

636
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,000
tell you. That just happens when you start slow. Sometimes

637
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:34,400
you pay for it. But you got to bounce back.

638
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:38,039
Number four Bear. I big was Parker Kingston on Saturday,

639
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:39,200
and I haven't chasing a lineup.

640
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Uh, I mean pivotal role in our offense and then

641
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:47,720
to see him step up. Yeah, Parker's Parker is a dude,

642
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:49,400
pivot a role in the offense.

643
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Dare I say new wide receiver number one chases out

644
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,440
come on. I'm not gonna do that. I'm doll it back.

645
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,160
But Parker eight oh four, hey, brother, one hundred and

646
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,279
ninety six more yards and PK's gonna have a thousand

647
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:01,519
yard season that I want him to have. I'm excited.

648
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,480
I hope it's able to get done. Man, you think

649
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:08,160
about Parker kingson me and wide receiver number one next

650
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,039
year being the guy that's a target. Look, you're gonna

651
00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:13,079
lose Chase. You got La Mason Waller. Still you got Tainakua.

652
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:14,480
I don't have to go get a guy or two.

653
00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:16,400
I mean, look, and I think you would agree with this.

654
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,559
I've seen this from Darius Lassiter. I don't know if

655
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:21,440
we'll see this from Baby Keeling because he's at Miami.

656
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,039
Once is done, Darius put out a tweet. I want

657
00:29:24,079 --> 00:29:27,599
to see Tray Spivey in a BYU uniform. Remember BYU

658
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,920
was going after Hi when he was in the portal.

659
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,599
It was Arizona BYU and I can't remember the other

660
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,839
two schools. Those are like top four, top five, and

661
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,440
he went to he committed to Arizona.

662
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: To me, the interesting question is where do you think

663
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:40,880
Byu needs to be more focused than the Bordal list

664
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,839
offseason AI receiver or running back?

665
00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: Okay, with that's not to discuss. We know where it's at,

666
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:46,359
but I think it's a close. I know what the

667
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,799
right answer is. Get close. Sure you're not wrong when

668
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:50,720
you look on paper and when you really delve into it,

669
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,759
both are definitely critical.

670
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,519
Speaker 3: Because running backs you really only need one or two

671
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,519
wide receivers.

672
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: You need a lot of the plethora of wide receivers.

673
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,319
And I think you can easily get a plethora, and

674
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:01,720
you can have the past game work well enough to

675
00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:03,319
be able to do it, but you can't set up

676
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:04,920
to pass it off the run right like you can

677
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,839
make and you can make this offense look really good

678
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,440
in the past game, especially with Aronahowie schemes things up

679
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:13,640
even with other guys, but you can't do it unless

680
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,079
you have a good running back. So I think in

681
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,359
this offense running back, they gonna need to go get

682
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,599
two dudes, if not three. So we'll see. Because I

683
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,000
keep telling you all, y'all came from me, and I

684
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:23,839
think you you know this with the fans, LJ, he

685
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,359
ain't coming back. He ain't coming back. He ain't coming back.

686
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:31,839
Unless we didn't think Chase was coming back. We did

687
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,119
for a little while, Yeah, we didn't. But I think

688
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,920
that was different. I think Chase's stock was not as

689
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,240
high as LJS. I think l is a better football

690
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,960
player and Chase. Yeah, I just said it one hundred percent.

691
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,160
I will. I don't have to do the numbers. I

692
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,240
don't know. I guess LJ did have a better ye

693
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,880
this year. Now it depends. There's obvious these negotiations with

694
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,799
Kilani and if we go to Penn State and all

695
00:30:47,839 --> 00:30:49,519
these other things, like the question is how much could

696
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:50,799
you pay to come back next year?

697
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,839
Speaker 3: Right, Maybe with all these discussions there is a couple

698
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,480
extra bocks you.

699
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: Because he's a seven figure running back that year.

700
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kalani has said Kalani in it was either

701
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,000
Monday media availability or post game I can't remember about

702
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,480
LJ coming back, and he said, look, we're just in

703
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:10,799
the interest of doing what's best for our players, period.

704
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,119
And so if LJ wants to come back, then LJ

705
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,119
can come back, but like, we're not gonna tell him

706
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,559
to not go to the NFL to come back. Now,

707
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,319
maybe if BYU gets left out of the playoff, maybe

708
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:23,160
there's a part of LJ that says, you know what,

709
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:25,599
I got to unfinished business with the CFP.

710
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,119
Speaker 1: I'm coming back because we're gonna make a run at it.

711
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,160
And who knows big Bear in his second year.

712
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if he can get better because he's

713
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,640
already been so great this season.

714
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: But all of those things play into that decision. All

715
00:31:38,079 --> 00:31:40,720
of it does, so we will see what happens in

716
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:44,640
regards to everything in the offseason. Bear LJ. Look, Bear's

717
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,440
gonna be poached. You gotta think if Colnnie goes to

718
00:31:46,519 --> 00:31:49,759
Penn State, what happens to the entire defensive offenses. That's

719
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,480
a nature of college athletics. Coaches take players with him,

720
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,880
they take coaching staff. So your best case scenario is

721
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,880
keep planning here and keep building. I think that's what

722
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,400
ultimately will be the outcome. But we'll see. We'll find

723
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,200
out more as the we goes on. But you need

724
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,720
to get this deal done sooner rather than later. Let's

725
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:07,079
keep going. Number five, what is Chaseman to you in

726
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:08,759
your shirt time here bear.

727
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: He's meant a lot and he's given me so much

728
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,720
confidence and trust in our relationship.

729
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 4: Is just great. And yeah, I can't wait to have

730
00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:16,640
him back.

731
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, ask that question because Chase was a senior. This

732
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,000
is senior day. What has he done? Look, I make

733
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:24,079
the jokes about Parker Kingston wide receiver number one. If

734
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:26,079
Chase had have been playing in this game healthy, he's

735
00:32:26,119 --> 00:32:28,519
still leading. They're probably close, maybe all by eighty yards.

736
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:31,400
But think about that. If Chase would have played, he's above,

737
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,759
He's probably close to nine hundred yards and that in

738
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,960
two more games. Because you're gonna play in this You're

739
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,319
gonna play in a bowl game that BYU receivers, you

740
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:41,640
could have two thousand yard receivers. That could be crazy.

741
00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:44,559
Now if they go to the college football playoffs and

742
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,720
with Chase, he's gonna have an opportunity to make that.

743
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,720
You know, we have a couple more games to get that.

744
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:52,000
But pks an one hundred ninety six away. Yeah, he

745
00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:54,920
can get that in the next game by himself. Definitely.

746
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,880
I think you can get it in the next two

747
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,480
if you split it up. So, look, it's been a

748
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:01,559
minute and who would have thought that the kid from

749
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,880
Roy who they call it just a gadget guy, just

750
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,759
a speed guy, by the way, who's run for a touchdown,

751
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,920
throwing for a touchdown and caught a touchdown and return

752
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:13,000
turn retard as well, Like he's got all that in

753
00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:16,200
the bag. But just a gadget guy. Stop it. He's

754
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,799
the Tyreek Hill of college football?

755
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:18,079
Speaker 3: Is he?

756
00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:20,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if people like me saying this, but

757
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:24,960
is he the written covey of b Why? And I

758
00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:28,200
know people don't like that guy, but you should have

759
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,279
been a BYU should have been.

760
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 3: But I do feel like they're very similar in the

761
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:34,920
fact that both of them played quarterback in high school. Facts,

762
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,799
and both of them were kind of doing everything kind

763
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:42,119
of guys in college and uh, throw for a touchdown

764
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:43,960
that I don't know, I have to look it up

765
00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:46,000
close to it, but that's probably the best of your version.

766
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:48,839
Speaker 1: I like the comparison. I think, yeah, But I also think,

767
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,680
you know, Parker, go back to it, Tyreek Hill college football.

768
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:55,799
Holy cow, that's too much of a hot take. But no,

769
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,839
look like I mean, I just think I bring that

770
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,559
up of the narrative they call it Tyreek Hill just

771
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:01,559
a return guy. Just the gadge guy and up until

772
00:34:01,599 --> 00:34:04,440
that injury, Bro, what top you would say, top seven receiver,

773
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,680
top ten receiver. So Covey through for two yep. So yeah,

774
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,440
So he's the Briton Covey. There it is both takes

775
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,679
a right. He's the Britain Covey of e YU and

776
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,440
he's Tyreek Hill of college football. Uh not maybe the

777
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,320
tyreer Kill of college football, but the Tyreek Kill on

778
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,920
this PYU football team. Oh dall it back. I won't

779
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,519
be I won't be too extra, but look, I Parker

780
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,119
is phenomenal and, like Bear just said two questions ago,

781
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,559
pivotal role in our offense. Let's keep going because we

782
00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:30,519
do got to get the break. Is we pontificated enough?

783
00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:34,360
Number six? Bear, knowing you were in the championship game before,

784
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,800
did they have any excuse me, knowing that you were

785
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,840
in the championship game before the game started, did they

786
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,880
have any effect on the start of the game in

787
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,440
the slow start?

788
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I think we're all pretty

789
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:48,960
mature and growing up, so you know, it didn't affect

790
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:49,679
affect us.

791
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,519
Speaker 1: Look they're not They're gonna say it was just slow start,

792
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:56,000
didn't execute but complacency can have you start slow, and

793
00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:58,719
I think this team thought that then being clinched, UCF

794
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,320
would have rolled over a little bit, and then they

795
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,920
had the doll in and they had to bring the intensity.

796
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,039
And sometimes in every game you don't bring every intensity.

797
00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:05,960
I don't know if from playing rugby, oh we're gonna

798
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,639
go out there, they're good, like no, Sometimes people are

799
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,440
way more physical from the point of attack and you

800
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:10,840
have to execute. They didn't do that.

801
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:14,119
Speaker 3: You also have to look at it from UCF's perspective,

802
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:17,079
where first of all, they want to ruin your season period.

803
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,519
Like you just you're in that position where you know

804
00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:21,400
you don't have a ton to play for, so you

805
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:23,719
want to ruin the season of the team that you're playing,

806
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,719
on their day at their house, all those things.

807
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: On top of that, UCF was playing to go bowling.

808
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:31,639
Speaker 3: They were playing for win number six so they could

809
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,639
get a bowl game, which they did not get because

810
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:37,039
of that game. And I again, I don't know if

811
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:39,119
it's complacency. I don't know if that last game of

812
00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:41,480
the season is just always weird to BYU. I don't

813
00:35:41,519 --> 00:35:43,840
know what it is, but it definitely didn't look good.

814
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,880
Definitely didn't look good. Gotta play better.

815
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,159
Speaker 1: Like you said, Number seven, Beer, what was it like

816
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,920
to watch those seniors do the senior walk and you've

817
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,760
relied on them a lot this season? I believe, Yeah, just.

818
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: To see you see kind of going to a realization

819
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,880
like you know, this is the last year and and.

820
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: But I yeah, it was sad, but you know, also

821
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,039
also joyful just to see them smiling and to get

822
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:11,039
the win on the on with the game today.

823
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 4: But we gotta make this season last even longer for.

824
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: Him, gotta make this season last even longer. Seeing him walk,

825
00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:19,000
I'm gonna tease something. He's gonna talk about one guy

826
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:22,320
that walked. He's not a senior. I'm not gonna say

827
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,159
Bear slipped up, but Bear definitely hinted at something we'll

828
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:27,320
read between the lines. And a couple of questions, Number

829
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,880
eight Bear, does this team deserve to be in the

830
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,440
College Football Playoffs in European?

831
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:35,679
Speaker 4: And if so, why, Yeah, I think we deserve to

832
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,719
be in the CFP. I just think we've got a

833
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,199
great team.

834
00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: Look, and I editedn't cut those two questions because it's

835
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,840
very short. He thinks they have a good team and

836
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,760
they should be And look, I think it's gonna be crazy.

837
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,679
We've sent us on Twitter. They're gonna be the only

838
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,840
power for a team with one loss left out of

839
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,760
the college football playoffs. That might be the greatest, one

840
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,039
of the greatest seasons in school history. And you're not

841
00:36:56,159 --> 00:36:59,280
going to the CFP. That's wild Brett in the regular season,

842
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:00,760
not conference champion, Notre Dame.

843
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 3: You know their losses to where it's either a team

844
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,599
who was top ten at the time or is a

845
00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:07,000
top ten team. Now, yeah, it looks like they're getting

846
00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:08,920
in and they're not even playing for a confge championship.

847
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,639
Speaker 1: But guess what. Guess what Miami.

848
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,559
Speaker 3: First of all, they got more losses than by U

849
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,760
and uh, either of those losses come against top ten teams.

850
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't believe five. So so yeah, make that one

851
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,679
makes sense. Committee can shove it. I'm gonna say, yeah,

852
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:24,800
I said it. It's okay. I'll get reprimended lated from

853
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,679
been on the bosses. I don't care. But the committee

854
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:28,920
can take it in chovity to power of manure. That's

855
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,719
what it is. I test Olympic Committee. Oh goodness, that's

856
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,079
exactly what they are. We need to start that nar.

857
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,679
Let's get that on a t sh I know that

858
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,000
can be a royal army rant I test olymp that's

859
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,119
what it is. Number nine. When you see the talent

860
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:43,760
on this team, did you imagine that you could be

861
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,480
eleven and one bear?

862
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 4: Of course?

863
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've we've got a great team, We've

864
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,760
got a great culture, and and everybody's bought in and

865
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,920
uh yeah, I mean we we just got guys that

866
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,360
can go and and uh I'm so proud to be

867
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,519
at BYU and and it's just it's been great.

868
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: Look you heard me laughing. I gotta turn my mic off.

869
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,920
That's my fault. That's bat producing. But look I was

870
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:08,639
laughing because duh, Like they're on the team. Yes, they

871
00:38:08,679 --> 00:38:10,679
think they don't want to the problem. Like, it's a

872
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,159
valid question for you to ask me. It's not a

873
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,400
valid question to ask the quarterback, because what's it gonna say? Honestly?

874
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,800
You know, man, I thought we were only gonna win

875
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,000
six games this season, like the Chris Paul is like,

876
00:38:20,199 --> 00:38:21,639
de christ, do you think we'll be back here for

877
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,599
a game seven? No, No, I think We're gonna lose.

878
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,639
That's why everybody laughing at what I'm on the team. Bro, No,

879
00:38:29,679 --> 00:38:31,400
We're gonna lose. Even if I did think we were

880
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,559
gonna lose, I would never say it when these questions

881
00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:37,599
get asked, like I just think of the Chris Paul No,

882
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,239
what you want to say? I'm on the team man, Yes,

883
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,760
of course, yes we're going back. That's why I might

884
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,280
laughing here, like you again ask that question, like, no,

885
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,000
I do think not to kind of take down this completely.

886
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 3: I do think there's a valid principle in this question,

887
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:58,760
because let's be honest, like, let's just be grateful for

888
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,760
where BYU is today. I know, I know we're gonna

889
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,920
have to talk a lot about the CFP rankings, whether

890
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,840
not boy should get in, how they're gonna do against

891
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,679
Sex sec, all of that stuff.

892
00:39:07,039 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: But let's be real about the fact that you went

893
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,199
eleven and one this season.

894
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,639
Speaker 3: You won more games this year than you did last

895
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:15,760
year with Jake Retzloff.

896
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: And that's not a shot at Jake.

897
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,159
Speaker 3: That's just saying like, this team continues to improve, the

898
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,360
culture continues to infect all of these young men and

899
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,519
make them play at such a high level.

900
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: Again, this is the team.

901
00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:31,559
Speaker 3: Three fourteen point comebacks this season again, a true freshman. Again,

902
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:33,960
you didn't know what you had going into the season

903
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:37,559
until you snapped the ball against Portland State. It is

904
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,320
so incredible to see that BYU is sitting at eleven

905
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,559
and one this year. Given the fact that the Vegas

906
00:39:45,639 --> 00:39:48,559
guys thought BYU was gonna win no more than six games,

907
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,719
there were conversations about whether this team was gonna go bowling.

908
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,519
And I know there's a lot of blue guygle people

909
00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:55,599
who said I knew this the whole time, and I'm like, look,

910
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,000
I'm grateful that you believed that, but you didn't know that.

911
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: And now can sit here and say we knew it, and.

912
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 3: This team proved a lot of people wrong, be included,

913
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,880
and I'm so happy to be wrong. I'm so happy

914
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,679
to this VYU team. I mean, run this year. Remember

915
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,239
year one in the Big Twelve, Remember how bad that

916
00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:17,280
was watching just get the boat raced by some of

917
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,480
these teams. Yeah, if you're sitting there going.

918
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,079
Speaker 1: Man, how long is it gonna take BOU to really

919
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:24,000
compete in this conference?

920
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: Well apparently not that long because the year after that

921
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,480
they were on a tie reger to get into the

922
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,199
Big Twelve Championship, And this year they're playing in the

923
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,280
Big Twelve Championship against the team.

924
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: Who is likely to go to a national championship. Yep.

925
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:40,599
Speaker 3: So all of those things they just make you sit

926
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,679
back and say, look, there's a lot of things left

927
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,320
on this season, and we won't overlook any of those,

928
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,599
but let's also be grateful for what we have right

929
00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:51,760
here with this team and what that says about the

930
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,519
future of this team.

931
00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:54,599
Speaker 1: Pay Kalani is money, That's all I gotta say. He's

932
00:40:54,599 --> 00:40:57,000
earned it in the entire staff. Ass All right, here's

933
00:40:57,039 --> 00:40:59,000
my tease for the question Earl that I was talking

934
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:00,920
about number ten. What does it like to have L J.

935
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:02,480
Martin is your backfield buddy? Uh?

936
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:07,119
Speaker 4: Bear, Yeah, it's been it's been awesome. Obviously a veteran.

937
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: I saw him walking out there, uh at the end,

938
00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:13,159
and I was, you know, I want him to come back,

939
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,480
but uh yeah, I mean he's just he's just another

940
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:20,039
eyes in the backfield and and just having him and

941
00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:24,239
and yeah sometimes he uh he'll alert me on on

942
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,199
some pressures and so it's just it's just been great,

943
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,000
great having him.

944
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: I want him to come back, and then switches it

945
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:33,559
thinks about it, look a a I know people are like,

946
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:35,360
oh no, he's walking he says. He wants to come back.

947
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,679
Did you hear the palls? Did you hear the switch up?

948
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,159
You heard it? Brett? Yeah, Bear, he stopped himself. He

949
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,239
stopped himself. But look, yeah, I'm telling you LJA coming back,

950
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,239
Like when when this happens, I'm going to take a

951
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,800
victory lap because everybody on Twitter thinks so like, well,

952
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,599
I knew there was a chance he could now no,

953
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,360
say the witch feel say sayt be speak of mine

954
00:41:56,559 --> 00:41:58,000
And if you're wrong, you're wrong. Look I was wrong.

955
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,239
I say eight and four. No they're eleven to one. Yeah,

956
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,960
it's okay to be wrong. You can't get everything right.

957
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,039
But LJ is not coming back. I be's shocked and

958
00:42:04,119 --> 00:42:06,199
if he does, his draft stock must not be well.

959
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,400
But moving on number twelve, got to finish up, get

960
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,199
out of here. How was his shoulder? You look like

961
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,960
you were slinging around? Bear? Yeah shoulders good asked that

962
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:15,880
question because he had tape on the shoulder. I saw

963
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,880
it through its pad. Yeah, and when I mean as

964
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,639
Patty Show just wanted to make sure because look, he

965
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:21,679
got dinged up. He was really in pain. But he

966
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,159
threw for a lot, you know against you see if

967
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:27,000
you did well, his arm looked fantastic, So, uh, let's

968
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,239
finish up with his last two number thirteen Bear. There

969
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,480
was a kid that said he was your twin. What

970
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:33,199
is it like to have kids who look up to

971
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,400
you in that regard?

972
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did. He did look like me, so.

973
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, so I was a pretty pretty reasonable poster.

974
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,400
So yeah, but I did see it. Yeah it was cool,

975
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,360
and uh man, yeah, it means a lot. And it's

976
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:54,679
kind of just in the back head, like you're playing

977
00:42:54,679 --> 00:42:56,639
for some of the bigger than just yourself. Is the

978
00:42:56,679 --> 00:42:58,679
way you put the wire up because I did see

979
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,239
I was he's a two minute and uh yeah, I wasn't.

980
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna do anything. But uh, I don't know,

981
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,480
I just did it whatever.

982
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: He wasn't, but he then he was. And that's why

983
00:43:08,039 --> 00:43:09,519
that's not why he put the why up, because he

984
00:43:09,639 --> 00:43:11,679
saw it on the screen. He looked up and he

985
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,480
acknowledged it, meaning that he saw.

986
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 3: It, which is wild because you you always wonder if

987
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,679
the players actually look up at the Jumbles phone definitely

988
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,679
and all of the in arena stuff that's going on,

989
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,199
and especially in that situation for him to put the

990
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,320
wy up like that, I was like, oh, he's really

991
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:28,880
looking at this.

992
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,599
Speaker 1: And I hadn't seen a player do that before. It

993
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,039
was really cool. What a cute kid.

994
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 3: Those kids who come to the games though, by the way,

995
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,800
like those are the moments that make the game.

996
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: Those are what makes sports great. Uh.

997
00:43:39,039 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 3: And so shout out to him for bringing that Austin poster,

998
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,599
and shout out to Bear for not getting too caught

999
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,280
up in the moment that he realizes what this is

1000
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,079
all about. And it's just about like working hard, going

1001
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:55,440
out there, but also inspiring and uplifting others.

1002
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,159
Speaker 1: It is, and that's what leads us to this this

1003
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,719
last question. You talk about playing for some them Bigger Bear,

1004
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,400
is that a part of being at BYU and European?

1005
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,760
What is your experience meant to you so far?

1006
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:07,119
Speaker 4: Of course?

1007
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:09,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean because Coin is always harping on on

1008
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,719
you know, we're not We're not you're not just playing

1009
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,599
for yourself. I mean that that's the mission statement at

1010
00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:18,960
b YU is a service to others and you know,

1011
00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:23,199
family and and just just serving others. And when we

1012
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,760
do True Blue on True Blue Heroes on on Wednesday

1013
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,440
and etctera, et cetera, that's just what BYU is and

1014
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,920
that's the culture and again I'm so proud to be here.

1015
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: That is what the culture is. Two Blue Heroes on Wednesday,

1016
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,159
exactly what Bear said. Look, people love this kid rightfully

1017
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,199
so and that's exactly that that blew up on Twitter.

1018
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,599
Why because that's exactly what it is. Is like the

1019
00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:45,119
Yegor thing, that's exactly what people want to see. It's

1020
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:46,800
not just about on the field, that's off the field

1021
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
as well. But speaking of being off the field and off,

1022
00:44:49,039 --> 00:44:50,320
we got to get the break we've been going along.

1023
