Speaker 2: hear about this? What?
Speaker 3: I just where I hear about everything? Because that's radio
Speaker 3: cause that's more of your d mbs. This is yeah,
Speaker 3: kind of like that. Also, the people they did the
Speaker 3: Pumped Up Kick song? You know that you don't know
Speaker 3: that one?
Speaker 1: No, I mean pumped Up Kick is consistent on my playlist. No,
Speaker 1: of course I don't know it.
Speaker 2: You and I have wildly The other kids with the
Speaker 2: Pumped Up Kid I don't know don't sing or dance ever. Please.
Speaker 1: I like music that has bands where people play instruments.
Speaker 2: You and I are different that way. Oh A good point.
Speaker 2: You know it's funny. Let me get sidetracked for one second.
Speaker 3: I played golf a couple weeks ago with Brian Schnee
Speaker 3: and Chase thomasin Chase the other weather guy. No, he's
Speaker 3: a news reporter. And then Caitlyn Felice who also works
Speaker 3: for us, and she is great. I mean straight down
Speaker 3: the fairway every day, Chase brings this little speaker. I've
Speaker 3: got a speaker and he just he sticks it on
Speaker 3: the golf car got the same one and had music
Speaker 3: playing the entire time.
Speaker 1: Well, Chase and I are a bit bougie. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: like nice things in good music.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what his.
Speaker 3: Playing, but it wasn't like heavy. It was very It
Speaker 3: was relaxed, you know what. It was rufous to soul.
Speaker 1: That's what I play, soundscapes and like jazz music. Right,
Speaker 1: I don't like music on a golf course.
Speaker 3: I mean then it was playing the whole time, you know,
Speaker 3: every shot, it was just there in the background.
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than the dude with the speaker. That's
Speaker 1: like blasting eighties hair metal or whatever. No, I play
Speaker 1: like soft because golf is hard enough. I want a
Speaker 1: calming presence on the golf course. So I have a
Speaker 1: whole playlist. It's only soundscames. Impressed that you do that.
Speaker 1: I have never had played anyone who did that, so
Speaker 1: I was happy. Now you and I both play an
Speaker 1: A Lemma's tournament, at least I think you have.
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to two years ago that I
Speaker 3: wrecked my A six. I didn't wreck it.
Speaker 1: I was run into rudely by a nineteen year old
Speaker 1: girl on First South, and then I had to cancel
Speaker 1: this year because we had some station obligations.
Speaker 2: But he invites me. I just haven't been able to
Speaker 2: play his tournament.
Speaker 3: He plays music from the pro Shop over the entire course.
Speaker 2: Does Mike Smith play music with six players in front
Speaker 2: of you or that I know of? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I made sure he was on the other side of
Speaker 3: the gulf. Pretentious, My gosh, how'd you play with Chase? Uh?
Speaker 2: We played? Okay.
Speaker 3: We played in a tournament two weeks later and won it.
Speaker 3: What yeah, Chase must be a stick. It was the
Speaker 3: Utah Sports Hall of Fame tournament and we won the
Speaker 3: media flight.
Speaker 2: We beat a Lemma and Booner. Why am I not
Speaker 2: invited to that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, my friends at the Utah Sports Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: do not contact me for interviews anymore. If I'm not
Speaker 1: invited to your freaking golf tournament. You need to talk
Speaker 1: to them.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to them now. They listen to the show.

Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Dave, do not contact me for any of your interviews

Speaker 1: me to your media golf because I'd win it every year.
Speaker 3: Oh, we want a big, huge trophy too, and with
Speaker 3: a well just we want it for the media flight. Overall,
Speaker 3: we would have finished like third or fourth. Okay, I
Speaker 3: think we shot a fifty four, which is phenomenal on
Speaker 3: the screen.
Speaker 2: It's not bad.
Speaker 3: My forty eight would win it, but right, but it
Speaker 3: beat every other media team, which I think they were
Speaker 3: like five of them.
Speaker 1: Oh congratulations. I don't know how many of their work
Speaker 1: was Wes Roff invited.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was there. Yeah shocking. We beat his team.

Speaker 2: I don't care who's on their board.
Speaker 1: Now at this point if I'm not getting the invite
Speaker 1: no more.
Speaker 2: In well, my apologies was Talent Talents COVID. We played
Speaker 2: great and won it. Oh I love Talents Cove. That
Speaker 2: would have been fun. Yeah, it's beautiful day.
Speaker 1: Good to see you guys at Big twelve media days
Speaker 1: last week.
Speaker 3: It was fun to spend more down Adam the Goat
Speaker 3: is in Vegas right now for the Mountain West Conference
Speaker 3: media day.
Speaker 2: So budget decisions, right.
Speaker 3: Well, this just wasn't much point in going all the
Speaker 3: way to Dallas and we'll get all that material.
Speaker 2: Now, we're partners with Utah State. We televise their games.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, and yeah we have we have a
Speaker 3: game this year, so we wanted to be to extend
Speaker 3: that all ranch to show them how much.
Speaker 2: We're dedicated to all of our partners.
Speaker 1: Speaking of why we're there, speaking of Utah State, well,
Speaker 1: two part questionnaire because ESPN it was Bill Conley ranked
Speaker 1: the top twenty five coaches. Oh yeah, and he has
Speaker 1: a whole formula, you know, as far as expectation juxtaposed
Speaker 1: to performance, do you outperform what people expect you to do.
Speaker 1: So Kyle at fourteen, which feels about right, you know,
Speaker 1: fourteenth best.
Speaker 3: Coach in the country. These lists are arbitrary. But Bronco
Speaker 3: at twenty four.
Speaker 1: No Kilani, but Bronco over the course of his career
Speaker 1: top twenty five coach.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, he goes to Virginia and what
Speaker 3: is to do. I mean, he becomes deity there because
Speaker 3: he gets him in a bowlgain. You only have to
Speaker 3: win eight or nine games in Virginia and they love you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's basketball school. And then and then he goes
Speaker 2: through New Mexico.
Speaker 3: Now they only won five games last year, but you
Speaker 3: know there were there was a lot of hope until
Speaker 3: you know, he left and a bunch of them came
Speaker 3: to Utah.
Speaker 2: So he's done.
Speaker 3: He's been very and it was successful the entire time
Speaker 3: he was at BYU.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great hire by Utah State.
Speaker 3: I ran into Bronco at a at a high school
Speaker 3: seven on seven tournament up in Logan, and I got
Speaker 3: to tell you spends he when you when you're with
Speaker 3: Bronco at a media availability for football, he's he tends
Speaker 3: to be very business like.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: You've probably I don't know if you've had him on
Speaker 3: your show or many times, but he's he tends to
Speaker 3: be pretty business like him. I right about that. When
Speaker 3: it when it's when he's in that element, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: to a degree.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you know, I've always heard from people
Speaker 1: and I can't speak to this because I don't know
Speaker 1: the man personally. That when you talk to Bronco when
Speaker 1: he's not in a football environment, he's that much a
Speaker 1: different person.
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going with this.
Speaker 3: So where the set My grandson is playing plays a
Speaker 3: Bountiful in the seven on seven and I bumped into
Speaker 3: Bronco and I am expecting media availability Bronco, so I
Speaker 3: was just gonna.
Speaker 2: Hey, good to see you.
Speaker 3: I hope everything's going to talk to me for twenty minutes,
Speaker 3: went on and on about how look how beautiful this
Speaker 3: field is and just not really Utah State football stuff.
Speaker 3: You know, asked me, how you know is your grandson
Speaker 3: playing over here? He was great, It was so much fun.
Speaker 3: It was a side of him I had never seen.
Speaker 3: Uh And you know, and I to always said, we've
Speaker 3: got one of your games this year on kmy you,
Speaker 3: you know, would like to visit with you that week,
Speaker 3: me and Elemon Frank and absolutely give me a call.
Speaker 3: And now when that happens, it'll be back to football. Bronco,
Speaker 3: of course, I'm sure, but it was. It was really fun.
Speaker 3: But getting back to your poll, I think that's very
Speaker 3: well deserved. Yeah, he's proven that over the years, So
Speaker 3: yeah for them, you're still letting Frank hang on, huh,
Speaker 3: hang on by a thread? Yeah, we uh what a
Speaker 3: charity charitable guy you are. Frank Analemma, Well, Alemna is
Speaker 3: my guy. But Frank, you know, take it or leave it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Our sponsor America first texted me and he said, hey,
Speaker 3: I need your shirt sizes for football this year, And
Speaker 3: Frank texted me back large.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking he's squeezing into that. Yeah, he's an excel
Speaker 2: at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah, he doesn't want he's
Speaker 1: not ready to make that move. Our guy's not pushing
Speaker 1: away from the buff.
Speaker 2: Frank, I don't know. Nix in a saladulce. We all
Speaker 2: see what's going on here.
Speaker 1: So, being down in Dallas, Dave A Marwett that you
Speaker 1: know about as a Cowboys fan with ties there, it's
Speaker 1: always interesting to actually experience the players and coaches in
Speaker 1: person as opposed to reading quotes or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And I was a little bit surprised that they're from
Speaker 1: my vantage point zero pushback on what Devin dan Pier
Speaker 1: could be for Utah this year. I thought we'd get
Speaker 1: some like well, yeah, it was New Mexico a year ago,
Speaker 1: twelve passing touchdown twelve picks, but when you kind of
Speaker 1: dig in a little bit, and Coach Witt talked about
Speaker 1: this on his hit he did with Sean and I.
Speaker 2: Not a great O line last year, not a lot
Speaker 2: of weapons.
Speaker 1: Kyle kind of called him a one man band, and
Speaker 1: when you look at Samee Brugler released his mock draft today.
Speaker 1: His latest he has Spencer Final was a top five pick.
Speaker 1: We got in the top ten, right or no? Because
Speaker 1: Caleb's a year younger, So Caleb kind of made his play.
Speaker 1: So anyway, Spencer Final top top five pick. Caleb Lomo
Speaker 1: a year younger than Spencer is. And Kyle himself at
Speaker 1: media Day said to Shawn and I, this is the
Speaker 1: best offensive line we've ever had.
Speaker 2: Heard that. So if you look at.
Speaker 1: Devin's ability as a dual threat, very dynamic playmaker behind
Speaker 1: this offensive line with a running back room that appears
Speaker 1: to be chock full of talent. There are questions about
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. We really won't know what that looks
Speaker 1: like until the fall. Big twelve Newcomer of the Year.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I don't know, But everybody I
Speaker 1: interviewed was like, watch out for this kid. You are
Speaker 1: going to love watching him play, and then we had
Speaker 1: a chance to interview him. Really charismatic kid, big smile,
Speaker 1: big old chain, ices you like to call it, Dave.
Speaker 1: But I was impressed just with his approach, but also
Speaker 1: kind of surprised that it seemed to be a consensus
Speaker 1: that youth fan should be really excited to watch this
Speaker 1: kid play football this year.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it should be because well, primarily what
Speaker 3: you just said. When you were able to do what
Speaker 3: he was able to do with let's say, quite a
Speaker 3: bit inferior talent, let's just I mean, there's no other
Speaker 3: way to paint it.
Speaker 2: That's the way it was.
Speaker 3: Twelve interceptions can be somewhat concerning, but look at what
Speaker 3: he's surrounded with. I mean, sure that he's under pressure
Speaker 3: a lot. He was running for his life. It's a
Speaker 3: whole different situation. I will say this one I saw
Speaker 3: him play in spring ball.
Speaker 2: Did you go to that game? I did, and you
Speaker 2: probably thought the same thing. I actually thought he was
Speaker 2: a little smaller than I anticipated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's about five ten five eleven and not overly thick,
Speaker 3: but he is so elusive. You've seen the plays. I've
Speaker 3: seen the plays where he is so hard to tackle.
Speaker 3: And I just thought, well, and I guess that doesn't
Speaker 3: really matter in that respect. I don't know what kind
Speaker 3: of a future beyond Coology has with his as there
Speaker 3: are other smallish quarterbacks that have gone on to do
Speaker 3: terrific things.
Speaker 2: But I think given.
Speaker 3: The tools that he has and then increasing you know,
Speaker 3: the talent that's around him, I'm I'm with you and
Speaker 3: with those others, it's difficult to find something wrong for
Speaker 3: something to poke at that. Well, yeah, well what about this,
Speaker 3: and what about this and what about this? It's got
Speaker 3: to stay healthy. We we know that, and that's model
Speaker 3: and if he does this, this could be a nice
Speaker 3: year for the youth. Yeah we say that a lot,
Speaker 3: but you know.
Speaker 1: Well, the thing that's stand and look, it's it's July.
Speaker 1: We don't know what it's going to look like in
Speaker 1: the fall. That's why they they did away with the
Speaker 1: preseason poll. They did away with the preseason media. I
Speaker 1: loved it because nobody knows a rip dude like I
Speaker 1: ran one anyway with who you and Michaelic.
Speaker 3: I took it from CBS, our parent company. Okay share
Speaker 3: it with us. This is non Utah was six, b
Speaker 3: Yu is nine in that poll. I want to pick
Speaker 3: to win it Utah six by U nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, ultimately it depends on like I said, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Well, it also depends on the media member
Speaker 1: of the media outlet. I have seen some media members
Speaker 1: pick Utah to win it. I've seen some media members
Speaker 1: pick Utah six, seven eight nine. It feels like they're
Speaker 1: seven eight nine teams that can win the thing. But
Speaker 1: back to Devin, when you watch what he did a
Speaker 1: year ago, there's a bunch of YouTube tape you can watch,
Speaker 1: and then you just look at the numbers. Nineteen rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: A lot of them were goal line situations. He just
Speaker 1: makes good decisions with our pos whether to tuck or run.
Speaker 1: The throwing numbers not near as good, with twelve touchdowns,
Speaker 1: twelve interceptions, a QBR one twenty one point six, which
Speaker 1: is good because of his ground game, but one and
Speaker 1: sixty six yards on the ground two thousand, seven hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty yard sixty eight yards through the air. I
Speaker 1: believe there are only four quarterbacks in college history to
Speaker 1: put up the numbers that he put up. Waiting him
Speaker 1: mentioned that way, Yeah, Kyle mentioned that a couple of
Speaker 1: different times, So I do think there's tremendous hope surrounding
Speaker 1: him and combined with that offense of line, I do
Speaker 1: feel like you should be optimistic, but we won't know
Speaker 1: until the fall kind of gets here. Just generally speaking,
Speaker 1: what do you think feels like if obviously Big twelve
Speaker 1: championship make the CFP would be a successful season. But
Speaker 1: what feels like a successful season for Utah this year?
Speaker 3: Let me let me give you a little more food
Speaker 3: for thought as you're looking forward by looking back, think
Speaker 3: about last year? The Utes, you know, lost seven games,
Speaker 3: but at least five of those could have gone either way, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, you give me that correct down to the
Speaker 3: and the defense kept them in the bya games, perfect example,
Speaker 3: defense kept them in a bunch of those.
Speaker 2: So now if you can get any and the offense.
Speaker 3: Was a mess, and I'm not just hanging it on
Speaker 3: Isaac Wilson or injuries to Cam Rising and it was
Speaker 3: just a mess.
Speaker 2: That's why Andy Ludwig stepped out.
Speaker 3: So now did you step down or was he gently
Speaker 3: encouraged to find something else to do with his time?
Speaker 2: Is that nice? Well, let's be cool.
Speaker 1: You really think Andy decided you officiated a wedding over
Speaker 1: the week? Please refer to me as father Spence. By
Speaker 1: the way, do you really think Andy stepped down? I
Speaker 1: don't even want to discuss I don't. I think he's
Speaker 1: not fired. Okay, it happens to all of us.
Speaker 2: I mean, not you.
Speaker 1: What is this your fortieth year doing the same game.
Speaker 1: I didn't Yeah, I didn't mean to go down that path.
Speaker 3: But at any rate, now you've got from for my money, Morgan,
Speaker 3: Scalley's d and Shreve Shan, all those guys on defense,
Speaker 3: they're all back and they're every bit.
Speaker 2: As solid as they have been.
Speaker 3: And you got you know, you got some playmakers on
Speaker 3: that smith Snowden. I mean, you got some dudes on
Speaker 3: that side of the ball. Now, you just need a
Speaker 3: little more offense. And I think we all agree they're
Speaker 3: going to have a lot more offense with the coaching changes,
Speaker 3: the addition and talent, and they proved last year they
Speaker 3: didn't need that much more to finish with there, I say,
Speaker 3: nine wins versus five, So yeah, I think it's it's
Speaker 3: not unrealistic to look at this team this year and
Speaker 3: say there is a possibility. Yeah, if things work right,
Speaker 3: maybe they couldn't in the Big Twelve Championship.
Speaker 1: The top five teams and last season's preseason Big twelve
Speaker 1: media pool oh Utah, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, and Arizona.
Speaker 2: Yeah, read the bottom five. That's even better.
Speaker 1: I'll get there, Dave, patients. Patients is not among your
Speaker 1: best quality. Ask Catay it is. They want to combine
Speaker 1: twenty six and thirty five overall and thirteen and thirty.
Speaker 2: Two in conference state was terrible.
Speaker 1: The bottom five teams Arizona State, Houston, Cincinnati, BYU, and
Speaker 1: Baylor thirty nine and twenty five, twenty six and nineteen
Speaker 1: in conference play. It just it just shows. And look, yes,
Speaker 1: there are variables, mainly health. The transfer stuff will be
Speaker 1: a little bit settled because the portal is no longer
Speaker 1: going to be open during the season. It's you know,
Speaker 1: it's open at the end, So you're not going to
Speaker 1: lose a bunch of players unless you know pole rets left. Well, easy,
Speaker 1: honor code guy, calm down.
Speaker 3: I'm saying you can do that. You could by just withdrawing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but the portal's not open, like he can. He has
Speaker 3: to enroll into school. Just can't even call Jake right now.
Speaker 3: They have to call his agent. The transfer portal is
Speaker 3: not like everyone's like a weird world. My agent's truelle.
Speaker 1: Like Jake Retz Laugh is not in the portal because
Speaker 1: it's not open, nor can he talk to coaches. Coaches
Speaker 1: have to contact his reps, and then the reps say,
Speaker 1: like Jake, you should enroll a notre dame wink wink.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna work. Just be clear.
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean, we'll get there in a minute.
Speaker 1: But bottom line is variables such as you know a
Speaker 1: player who is upset about playing time, just withdrawing from school.
Speaker 2: Happened from time to time.
Speaker 1: Mostly it's injuries, and that's what played Utah specifically a
Speaker 1: year ago. But it just goes to show you that
Speaker 1: when it comes to this time of year, talking heads
Speaker 1: don't know a rip about what's gonna happen in this conference.
Speaker 1: David feels like they are eight or nine teams that
Speaker 1: could win the Big Twelve.
Speaker 3: But Spence, we just filled four to five minutes of
Speaker 3: your show and wouldn't have if there hadn't been that
Speaker 3: poll last year.
Speaker 1: It's called filibustering, Dave. I'm a master AVG. I do
Speaker 1: it four hours every night. I don't mind polls.
Speaker 3: I think they're fun to talk about, whether they're dead
Speaker 3: wrong like last year, or spot on like never, it's
Speaker 3: still its content. We have a saying at Channel two
Speaker 3: in sports, Hey, it's content and that's just the way
Speaker 3: it works.
Speaker 2: Oh did you come up with that saying?
Speaker 3: Dave? Well, like you're not content because you're beyond that
Speaker 3: well said content is meaning. Oh, well, let's see Carconi
Speaker 3: resigned today. That's a oh that's a minute of content.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How much content do you have to fill a night
Speaker 1: at channel seventeen minutes? Okay, we do four hours, but
Speaker 1: you consider and just talk.
Speaker 2: I can't do that.
Speaker 3: I can't bring in guests after guests after guess why
Speaker 3: I can only squeeze in one You could ten guests,
Speaker 3: do them all for thirty seconds?
Speaker 1: Porter, Can you imagine doing a seventeen hour or excuse me,
Speaker 1: a seventeen minute show every day?
Speaker 3: How would you even do it with a commercial break?
Speaker 3: So it's not seventeen, so it's not content. Time is seventeen.
Speaker 1: Including the two commercial breaks plus the two commercial break.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it is content. It's seventeen minutes. Can you
Speaker 2: imagine if every day we did seventeen minutes of this?
Speaker 2: How would you.
Speaker 3: Do mcmanimon if you only had let's say, six minutes.
Speaker 1: We figured it out. That sounds like a dream. This
Speaker 1: is masonry, Dave. I'm in the I'm in the coal
Speaker 1: mine every day.
Speaker 2: You also have to get dressed up. Now I'm wearing
Speaker 2: pj's today. Actually, this is workout here. It came straight.
Speaker 2: This is what you're wearing tonight. No, you know, I
Speaker 2: dress up for you a channel too. I'll look good
Speaker 2: for the TV hit, but harder than it seems.
Speaker 1: But back to the original point, when it comes to
Speaker 1: expectations for Utah, it really depends on who you're talking to,
Speaker 1: depends on who you're reading. Some people do have them
Speaker 1: to win it, and some people have them six seventy
Speaker 1: eight nine. It's just hard to know exactly what that's
Speaker 1: going to look. With Phil Steele, I think picked him
Speaker 1: to win it. Conley in his SMP plus has them
Speaker 1: at seven.
Speaker 3: Well I just told you the ESP or sorry, CBS
Speaker 3: had them at six. So yeah, it's all over the place.
Speaker 3: But again, I don't have any problem with there's going
Speaker 3: to be an a people that's going to come out
Speaker 3: right before.
Speaker 2: The season as a rip about the eight People, not
Speaker 2: like it used to.
Speaker 3: Now that's why the college football poll doesn't come out
Speaker 3: to what week six. Conley's ess and P plus goes
Speaker 3: like this, Kate, he has k State winning it, Arizona
Speaker 3: State to Texas Tech, who bought this roster with reported
Speaker 3: fifty million dollars or so at three, BYU at four,
Speaker 3: even with the rets laugh news, TCU at five, Utah six,
Speaker 3: Iowa State seven. That's funny because Texas Tech also bought
Speaker 3: the softball roster million bucks for a softball pitcher.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's oil money. Yeah, they're doing okay down there.
Speaker 1: So b tell me if you have any insight on
Speaker 1: the BYU quarterback situation. So of course Jake has announced
Speaker 1: that he is going to Lee even find a new
Speaker 1: place to play. Uh, McKay Hillstead, who has some experience
Speaker 1: in Utah State. This Trayson Board gay kid who played
Speaker 1: at Western Michigan. There is this ground swell of BYU
Speaker 1: fan movement for the bear Bachmeyer kid. I've seen McKay play,
Speaker 1: and that's it. Any idea how this is gonna show.
Speaker 1: I've seen McKay play as well.
Speaker 3: I covered him extensively at Skyridge High School and then
Speaker 3: called a couple his games at Utah State.
Speaker 2: I like him.
Speaker 3: I like him a lot. He was a winner in
Speaker 3: high school. I think the problem you have with Bachmeer
Speaker 3: is he hasn't gone through the system like the other
Speaker 3: like McKay has, so there's probably an advantage there.
Speaker 2: But I feel like either way.
Speaker 3: There's going to be growing pains there because none of
Speaker 3: those quarterbacks have taken any meaningful snaps whatsoever for BYU.
Speaker 3: And it's it's tough. It's it's just the way it is.
Speaker 3: So I don't care what you've got around it. If
Speaker 3: you don't have, you know, somebody behind center that everybody
Speaker 3: has confidence in, it's it's just gonna be a rough year.
Speaker 2: What you can do about it.
Speaker 1: The good news is their opening game is Portland State
Speaker 1: in Provo. Yeah, and their second game is not bad either. Stanford,
Speaker 1: I don't They're not good. I don't know much about Stanford.
Speaker 2: I have an interim coach for an entire year, Frank Wright.
Speaker 1: So we got Portland State in Stanford and Provo and
Speaker 1: then they're on the road at East Carolina. It's a
Speaker 1: soft landing spot for whoever wins the job. Which if
Speaker 1: you're a BYU fan, I think you have like I
Speaker 1: don't know the UCLA is going to be a world beater,
Speaker 1: but Utah has to go to the Rose Bowl week one.
Speaker 1: I like that opening matchup for Utah because it's like
Speaker 1: a brand name that's not supposed to be awesome, so
Speaker 1: you probably should win it. But if you're BYU, you
Speaker 1: kind of like the soft landing spot as a result
Speaker 1: of the ambiguity.
Speaker 2: Undercore under center.
Speaker 3: Well, and honestly, Hillstead probably well, let's let's say retslaf
Speaker 3: still here, whoever's number two is, without doubt was going
Speaker 3: to get some time in at least the opening game,
Speaker 3: if not the second and third games anyway, So now
Speaker 3: they're just going to get all the time. Well ze
Speaker 3: other works out, But yes, you are correct, that is
Speaker 3: fortuitous that that happened to be the scheduling under the
Speaker 3: circumstances of what they're putting up with there.
Speaker 1: So, Dave, we lost Frank last week. You know, he
Speaker 1: was like a second father to me. I've known him
Speaker 1: since really I was a baby, ninety three years old. Look,
Speaker 1: we were talking about this earlier on the program, and
Speaker 1: yesterday we did an entire dedicated to his life and legacy.
Speaker 1: He just was one of those people that made you
Speaker 1: feel like you were his friend, no matter what, what
Speaker 1: was your experience, like a Frank.
Speaker 3: Even when he was at the height of coaching and
Speaker 3: he was busy and he's still treating his the way
Speaker 3: he treated me never changed.
Speaker 2: It was always great.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one quick funny story when he was
Speaker 3: actually coaching and they were playing in the Salt Palace,
Speaker 3: and this is how gracious he was. He would come
Speaker 3: and do a live interview with me after in the
Speaker 3: newscast occasionally, not a ton, but occasionally. And we were
Speaker 3: set up after one game at the top of the
Speaker 3: lower bowl of that bowl, and it's like Sports comes
Speaker 3: on on, like at ten twenty five, and he's not
Speaker 3: there at ten fifteen on panicking, So I run all
Speaker 3: the way down to the locker room or Frank, We're
Speaker 3: on in just a few minutes. He said, all right,
Speaker 3: I'll be right there, and I said, okay, we're right
Speaker 3: at the top of that bowl. So I come out.
Speaker 3: I run all the way at the top of the bowl.
Speaker 3: I look down.
Speaker 2: Here comes Frank. He runs all the way to the
Speaker 2: top of the bowl.
Speaker 3: We are both so completely out of breath we can't
Speaker 3: even speak. And I'm asking him question after question, he's
Speaker 3: given me two word answers because neither one of us
Speaker 3: can breathe because we're completely.
Speaker 2: Out of breath.
Speaker 3: But he was there, and he showed up, and you
Speaker 3: know after we only did like a two minute interview,
Speaker 3: and it was I think we finally just said sorry, folks,
Speaker 3: we're guess yeah, yeah, we don't do this for a living.
Speaker 3: But how cool that he still took the time to
Speaker 3: run all the way up there and do that, and
Speaker 3: he would do that a lot. I just I love
Speaker 3: the man. And you know what, he never changed right
Speaker 3: right to the bitter end. I saw him maybe six
Speaker 3: months ago, and you know, he wasn't in great health,
Speaker 3: but and and as serious as he was about coaching,
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't see the really serious side.
Speaker 3: I'm sure your dad did and you probably did a
Speaker 3: little bit. He always had room to have a little
Speaker 3: you know, did not take himself too seriously.
Speaker 2: How am I getten kissed by MORGANA the Ki Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know it was interesting.
Speaker 1: We had Grant Harrison on earlier and for jazz fans,
Speaker 1: you may not know Grant, but you know Grant.
Speaker 3: I know if you went to a game during the
Speaker 3: course of the first thirty years of this organization's existence.
Speaker 3: You know Gran Harrison.
Speaker 1: Grant essentially is responsible for making the Bear the mascot.
Speaker 1: He is the one that hired John Asby, who was
Speaker 1: the original Jazz Bear, who became one of the most
Speaker 1: beloved mascots in all of America. Any promotion or game
Speaker 1: op situation at the Old Salt Palace then throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the first twenty five years of the Delta
Speaker 1: Center was Grant Harrison.
Speaker 2: And I did not know this, but he told the.
Speaker 1: Story earlier in the show, and you should listen as
Speaker 1: somebody that mistreats your staff entirely and doesn't know the
Speaker 1: names of the interns. Frank Laden used to come to
Speaker 1: every promotional meeting. Every week they would have promotional meetings.
Speaker 1: Grant would run it, and Frank would would show up
Speaker 1: and then participate in the meetings and talk about what
Speaker 1: he wanted the promotions to be.
Speaker 2: Killy was the GM too, but yeah, but still.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a head coach in pro basketball today
Speaker 1: sitting in a promotion a weekly promotional meeting to talk
Speaker 1: about what he wants halftime to look like and who's
Speaker 1: going to sing the national anthem?
Speaker 2: And all that. That's why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was very invested and he he cared about
Speaker 3: everyone he did in the You know, it didn't matter
Speaker 3: what your role was, you were important to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So sad day losing Frank last week at the
Speaker 1: age of ninety three. All right, give us a teas
