Speaker 5: he comes to you know, whenever we have a sad
Speaker 5: thing happened, like a death, you can make sure the
Speaker 5: coach is there.
Speaker 3: And he was there for all our sad time. Fortunate
Speaker 3: and Uncle.

Speaker 5: he pulls out his phone and he starts going through
Speaker 5: and I couldn't believe the book, the book.
Speaker 3: And numbers that he has he can run for.
Speaker 5: He started calling people and we had it was really
Speaker 5: good though. Anyway, it was very successful. And uh and
Speaker 5: and he's our honorary golf chair and every.
Speaker 2: Year it's wonderful. That is wonderful. So coach, what do
Speaker 2: you make I mean, this is this is beautiful.
Speaker 4: This has been their dream for as long as I've
Speaker 4: known them to have their own building, and this has
Speaker 4: taken a lot. I mean, I feel bad for Larry
Speaker 4: because he's he lives in idleho somebody, and he spends
Speaker 4: more time here than he does and idle. And he
Speaker 4: moved there because he wanted to get the quiet and
Speaker 4: this get away from this life. Right, But now he's
Speaker 4: more because this is a big This is a big
Speaker 4: this is a big deal and it's a big nut
Speaker 4: to crack too. But it's been that it's been their
Speaker 4: dream forever. And and I tell you what, they made
Speaker 4: their dream come true. And the building is awesome and
Speaker 4: everything they have in here, from academics to to to
Speaker 4: scene to getting kids, giving kids a second chance to
Speaker 4: do things. I mean, everything that that my foundation stands
Speaker 4: for is the same thing that these that the former
Speaker 4: stands for.
Speaker 3: So it's it's uh.
Speaker 4: And I've been to all the boxing events he's had
Speaker 4: here since he started, since went the Golden Gloves and
Speaker 4: that that was outstanding.
Speaker 3: And but the thing that impressed me most is the facilities. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, A long way from a chicken coop.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is far far away from a chicken And
Speaker 6: it was it was a dream, you know, for for
Speaker 6: these guys going back twenty some years, you know, because
Speaker 6: they had the three boys and.
Speaker 4: Jeane Don and Jay yeah and all you know, high level,
Speaker 4: high level guys, with Gene being the most famous of
Speaker 4: the three. But uh, the history of boxing in Utah
Speaker 4: goes through the through.
Speaker 2: The filmer for sure.
Speaker 1: For sure, Larry, I wonder what your reaction is when
Speaker 1: you see coach walk in and see all the support
Speaker 1: that you've received on this great day.
Speaker 5: You know, it just, uh my heart just took a
Speaker 5: few extra leaps there just a minute ago when he
Speaker 5: walked in. He just he just brings something about him.
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody that knows Coach, it doesn't matter whether
Speaker 5: he knows him or not, he's gonna he's giving him
Speaker 5: a hug. Oh yeah, you know, he walks by everybody
Speaker 5: and he's hugging everybody and nobody is a stranger to
Speaker 5: coach him McBride And that's that's so.

Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes me loose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here he is.
Speaker 3: He's trying to live this quiet life.
Speaker 4: You know, he went on the ld S mission and
Speaker 4: then he comes home, buys his place in Idol.
Speaker 3: Because I want a quiet life.
Speaker 2: And here he is.
Speaker 5: You know, he's anyway. Hey, but it's just fun. This
Speaker 5: is This has been an exciting day. It's been an
Speaker 5: emotional day. Uh, just thinking of the legacy that I
Speaker 5: have and and you've helped keep that legacy going.
Speaker 4: Well, the important thing is that the former family is
Speaker 4: outstanding and and what they care about, and they've never
Speaker 4: lost their their focus on what they're about.
Speaker 2: For sure, Coach.
Speaker 1: Before I say you guys loose, you fans will kill
Speaker 1: me if I don't ask you a football question.
Speaker 2: Okay, you were at spring football.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 2: I saw you there sitting next to Spenceycles. What did
Speaker 2: you see that you liked? We can have a better
Speaker 2: year two in the beginning.
Speaker 3: So I went, I went. I went there three or
Speaker 3: four times, and I went over there and I talked
Speaker 3: to Jason. Jason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I talked to Jason for a long time one
Speaker 4: day when everybody was out recruiting. And so Jason had
Speaker 4: worked for me.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And uh, he's grown a lot, and uh he
Speaker 4: understands the system. The system is good.
Speaker 3: It works.
Speaker 4: You have your receivers have to be very skilled because
Speaker 4: that and it's all based on read option stuff and
Speaker 4: so it's a new concept and that you know. They
Speaker 4: so they have a bunch of X B Y you
Speaker 4: guys coaching the offense. So except for Jim Hardy, who's
Speaker 4: still there, who's really a great offensive line guy, I
Speaker 4: think the offensive line potentially, I think he's very good.
Speaker 4: And I think they have enough depth there the running backs.
Speaker 4: You know, the kid from Washington State is a real player.
Speaker 4: I think the Cavalio kid that they got out of Hawaii,
Speaker 4: I think he's a very good receiver. He's an inside guy,
Speaker 4: very quick, good change of direction. I don't know about
Speaker 4: the outside guys. I mean I would be a little
Speaker 4: concerned there. Maybe quarterback, Like I like the starter. I
Speaker 4: think he's a nice, nice player, fits the system. And
Speaker 4: then Isaac is kind of, you know, working to get
Speaker 4: himself into the second spot.
Speaker 3: But Isaac is kind of you know, and following his career.
Speaker 4: I've known him since he's been ten years old, and
Speaker 4: he's he worked his way up at Corner Canyon to
Speaker 4: where he was really a really good player, and he'll
Speaker 4: do the same thing at Utah. He just needed a
Speaker 4: little time, you know. He was thrown in to the
Speaker 4: mix too soon. But he earned the position, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean he earned it in spring when he came
Speaker 4: there as a freshman. And I think as long as
Speaker 4: he doesn't lose his focus, I think he'll become a
Speaker 4: real quality quarterback. And actually the number three guy, the
Speaker 4: left handed guy. I really like him, yeah, because he
Speaker 4: fits the offense because he can run, they can throw,
Speaker 4: he can create. And then defensively, I think there, I
Speaker 4: don't think they're good in the defensive line as they
Speaker 4: have been, but I think they still have quality players
Speaker 4: in there. The edge guy they brought from from Oregon,
Speaker 4: I think will be a really good player. Linebacker. I
Speaker 4: think very solid. Corners are good, the safeties are good.
Speaker 4: So I think they have a you know, I think
Speaker 4: they have a solid team, unless you never know what's
Speaker 4: going to happen. They got through spring and everything seemed
Speaker 4: to be intact, and now the idea is to get
Speaker 4: into the fall and then you know, injuries can always
Speaker 4: can always hurt your progress. And I think if they
Speaker 4: if you ask them what they're looking for right now,
Speaker 4: they would probably say they're looking for speed receivers. So
Speaker 4: that's probably where that's probably the room that they're probably
Speaker 4: the least happy about, I think. But that's only speculation,
Speaker 4: you know, just on what people tell me. But I
Speaker 4: but I look forward to to them having a nice team.
Speaker 4: This will be a little different because traditionally Kyle doesn't
Speaker 4: like a speed up type offense because he likes to
Speaker 4: control the game defensively and with the kicking game.
Speaker 3: So this will be different.
Speaker 4: When you're running one play every twelve seconds and all
Speaker 4: of a sudden you have a three and out, that'll
Speaker 4: push more pressure on your defense.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it works. But I think that
Speaker 3: the concept is good. It works.
Speaker 4: They got quarterbacks that can run the offense, and they
Speaker 4: got good running backs and so well, you know, I
Speaker 4: think it's a I think everything was positive.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for your time. We'll set
Speaker 2: you guys loose. Great to see you. Okay, well good,
Speaker 2: thanks so much. Thank you,
