one of my favorite guests.
Speaker 4: He is at by U TV.
Speaker 3: He had he's had multiple multitude of opportunities to catch
up with the Bear Tar you know, Bear Force one.
He's got plenty of nicknames. You know, he's caught up
with a bunch of athletes in his time. And he
also writes to the Desert News, we got the wonderful
Dave mccannon line Dave, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2: First of all, Hey, thank you.
Speaker 5: The greatest day of the year and very strategic for
Dental Pros to sponsor the show on Halloween. That's that
takes some foresight and and what a great day it's
the day of I've always loved the notion of knocking
on the door and someone just handing you candy. That's
never once gotten stale and in all my generations of
trick or treating and love it, love today absolutely.
Speaker 3: And I have to ask you then this question, what's
your favorite candy? What's to go to for the Dave
mccannan McCann fan on Halloween.
Speaker 5: Well, I like Junior Mint and I like milk Duds,
So I'm good with either one of those. But I
always as a kid, and even to this day, I
like double Bubble, and I like the bubble gum and
the little bubble gums they give out and I usually
confiscate that in the dad text for my kids.
Speaker 2: Uh so I've.
Speaker 5: Always loved the gum and uh, Junior Men's and milk
duds and bullying.
Speaker 2: I won't eat a I won't eat a Almond Joy,
and I won't.
Speaker 5: Eat candy corns. That that's just not gonna happen. But
the rest is everything is bottle caps. Those are good
sugar babies. Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a.
Speaker 5: Connoisseur of of all of it except for candy corns
and almond Joys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.
Speaker 2: Night.
Speaker 3: I'm grateful because I say, respect my elders. You are
my elder My parents love the Almond Joys and I
was not a fan of those. So I can finally
tell my mom because my dad not here, I can
tell my mom, Hey, Mom, I found someone one of
my olders that don't like Almond Joys is not an
end all Bill. They like lived and died on that
Halloween candy they bought those?
Speaker 4: Why did people?
Speaker 2: Never never understood?
Speaker 4: Ye never understood joys.
Speaker 3: But speaking of Almond Joys, there's a lot of joy
right now in Cougar Country for the first time in
program history under Kalone Sataki. I think I have to
mention that because the coach is so valuable eight and
oh in back to back seasons last year phenomenal season
eleven and two.
Speaker 4: This year eight and oh.
Speaker 3: They're projected by ESPN or I think it's ten point
six wins. This looks like the year Dave that by
you could end up in the title games. A lot
of football left to be played. But I think Cougar
fans are really in an all and joy, joyful mood
with what they see right now going into the second
boy Babe.
Speaker 2: Nor of a junior joy which I could appreciate.
Speaker 5: Uh, I think you're right, Ron, it's uh, it's everything's
lined up one.
Speaker 2: You have to be eight. No to be eight, no, right,
you can't be seven to one, you can't be six.
Speaker 5: And to a clean slate through eight games puts you
in position for this to happen. A bye week here
this week is the best thing that could ever happen
to the program, the best time, and certainly with some
guys banged up in the last game, everything it just
kind of lines up for where's the perfect spot to
have a bye week right now? And so they got
to go prove it against Texas Tech, and then they
got to prove it against TCU, and then they go
to Cincinnati. It's a tough road, but there's no easy
road to the playoff. If you want an easy road,
you're not going to get there. So it's like line
them up and better to play Texas Tech and prove
your wit, and play Cincinnati on the road and prove
it again.
Speaker 2: Then have the committee.
Speaker 5: Excuse me when it's decision time to go, I haven't
played anybody or I mean, this is this is exactly
what you'd hope to have to have a team good
enough to go to the playoff and challenge in the playoffs.
So you know, through these first eight games, you couldn't
ask for anything better.
Speaker 2: And one of our running things on after.
Speaker 5: Further review the other night on BAU TV is hey, look,
this is a this is rare air, and hopefully Cougar
fans take time to enjoy the moment that we're in
as opposed to well, I really enjoyed if it's nine
and oh, and that's nine.
Speaker 2: I only enjoyed if it's ten and h.
Speaker 5: This being eight to oh, with this schedule and this
freshman quarterback and being in the top ten, this is
this should be the greatest Halloween ever for Cougar fans
because of the situation.
Speaker 2: That the their football team is in. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I get chills when you said it, because when the
whole thing happened in the summer, Jake Gretsov leaves, he
says I'm going to go to a different school.
Speaker 4: I kind of was like, Okay, well let's relax. Let's
not say the sky is falling.
Speaker 3: Get even though people think Chicken Little was applying in
that regard, and I was like, Okay, maybe it might be.
Then you see that as freshman, and then I'm watching
fall camps and Okay, he can make some throws and
then I see the first three games, said okay, he
could work. I see Colorado to comeback. I saw Western. Yeah,
I said, okay, they had something in this locker room
that we didn't know. And this kid right now is
playing not only like the best freshman in the country,
the best quarterback. I don't know how by the end
of the season, Dave, he's not the Big twelve freshman
of the year and the National freshman of the year,
Like who else could be playing better than bear Bachmeer.
Speaker 5: Right now, he's on track for all of that. And
the more you win, the better your chances. I know
RG three has him in.
Speaker 2: His top five Heisman group, and.
Speaker 5: The only way he got there is by being eight no,
and so it really you just control your destiny for
all of the postseason awards and and your future by winning.
And to his credit, he's gotten better and better to
go to beat Iowa State without l J. Martin and
throw for three hundred yards. That's where the old quarterbacks
used to do and now he's doing that too. And yeah,
I think this guy's the limit. For this kid who's
humble and mature and redefining what a true freshman can
be in a football program. He's redefining it each time
he steps on the field because in a lot of
his decisions, it's what seniors do.
Speaker 2: To go and play Utah, not turn it over.
Speaker 5: That's what seniors do to go to Iowa State and
not turn it over. And here's a kid who's nineteen
and playing the guitar on the weekends. It's a phenomenal story.
Speaker 3: It's definitely a phenomenal story. Looking at bear Bachmeyern what
a Rod has done. Let's talk about Aaron Roderick. He's
not getting There's a lot of haters out there. There's
some people that have commented on my page of Ben's
pace say I've repented.
Speaker 4: I said, good, you need to.
Speaker 3: But one of the most unthinkable jobs in college football
is the offensive coordinator, especially the offensive coordinator at BYU.
We had Guy Holliday on the showing. Guy was mentioning
all the greats of by and I said, oh yeah,
I forgot about all those guys. And you look at
the history of play callers at BYU. Aaron Roderck, I
believe is up there because no one thought that a
Rod would have this kid, not only a no playing
the way he's playing bear looks like you just mentioned it.
He looks like a senior to do what he did
against Utah and go on Iowa State like Iowa stated
to lose a home game in twenty one consecutive excuse me,
then I lose a home game, has lost one home
game I think in the last two years, and then
twenty one consecutive games. Are not allowing three hundred yards
and number forty seven goals in there and makes it
look easy without LJ.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Aaron's put him in positions to execute plays. And
then as he's matured and grown, the playbooks expanded, and
you know that very rarely is there a play called
where you're like, yeah, that shouldn't have been called.
Speaker 2: There's some because you know, none of us are perfect.
Speaker 5: But but Aaron's been really good about bringing him along
and it's helped to have the Big twelves leading rusher,
and it helps to have one of the Big twelve's
top defenses and the best kicker in the country or
one of them, so that all those elements help a
freshman quarterback not have to go out.
Speaker 2: There and win it by himself.
Speaker 5: And I think that's allowed Aaron to call games like
that it's not third and every time.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it is, but not every time. You know, if
it's third and four, you can all of a sudden
you got four or five plays in the mix.
Speaker 5: And by He's just been really good at marching down
the field. And Aaron's in a fantastic job. And you know,
we love opinions. All of our stuff begets opinions. This show,
our shows, articles and all that stuff. But a lot
of people's opinions just flat out don't matter. And those
who aren't happy with Aaron this year, you know, it's like,
what are you.
Speaker 2: Going to be happy with? Right?
Speaker 5: If you're not happy undefeated with the freshman quarterback who's
tearing it up, you're never going to be happy. And Okay,
but a lot of folks when they see what BYU's
done and what they're doing it with, the national media
is starting to catch up. It's really a phenomenal season
to be Bowl eligible after six games with a quarterback
no one had ever heard of before six months ago.
Speaker 2: It's just it's just something that's never happened here ever.
Speaker 5: And so maybe the newness is hard for people to stomach,
but I hope they stomach it, digest it and enjoy
every second of it and appreciate what Rodrick's done and
what Jay Hill's done, and what Papinga's done.
Speaker 2: And all those three key phases of the game.
Speaker 5: They all contribute to BYU being undefeated, and Roderick is
certainly right there among the most important figures in helping
to make that happen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you bring up Kelly Papinga.
Speaker 3: I think he might be the you know, they give
those comeback player of the Year awards and one of
those question mark ones in sports where like I didn't
think of this guy, Kelly Popinga needs some type of
award because to tell guys, hey, finish your blocks and
block this guy into the ball, because we see that
on film. Also, the same guy that says, hey, I'm
gonna show you all clips in West Virginia our quarterback
through for three fifty one, but none of y'all got hyped.
We need to get hype going to Arizona. He just
sees things differently. And k Pop is you know, we
obviously had his brother on the you know, on the show,
and he's biased, he said, but I don't think it's
a bias take. Kelly Pepina has to be the best
special teams coordinator in the country right now.
Speaker 5: He's good and to the credit of everyone on that staff,
this might be the best staff ever assembled by BYU.
Speaker 2: Back in the day and the glory.
Speaker 5: Years, they had, you know, big names doing big things.
Speaker 2: But you look at every position group on this on
this football team.
Speaker 5: And then look to their head coach and think to yourself, well,
who would you rather have other than this guy? And
I don't think you'd be able to.
Speaker 2: Come up with anybody this group is.
Speaker 5: They're just really talented, they're really invested, and they're into winning.
And the program being nineteen and two in the last
twenty one games is a P four He kidding me.
Go to the last bowl game they go to, they beat,
they blow out a ranked opponent in front of the
biggest audience that's ever watched BYU and they get the biggest.
Speaker 2: Payday they've ever had, and.
Speaker 5: They follow that up with an eight to oh and
marching towards you know, even greater things.
Speaker 2: Credit to the staff. The players have to go execute it,
but you know.
Speaker 5: They're getting trained at properly, and even in this by
week and in the next week they'll be fully prepared
for Texas Tech. I don't know if they're going to
beat Texas Tech, but they're going to go in prepared
because that's what this staff does and it's reflected in
the record.
Speaker 3: They've had some pretty big wins in their time as
the staff of State together Day. But what would a
winner a Texas Tech mean? The nash of media saying
that's still the best team in the Big twelve and
they've dropped a game the Arizona State, obviously, but we
don't know if college game Day is going to come. Obviously,
Texas Tech has to take care of business tomorrow against
Kansas State. But if they do and BYU where to
go next week and take care of business in Lubbock,
what would that win mean over the Red Raiders.
Speaker 5: You know, it would just mean that the next game
is the biggest game ever, Right here's the biggest one,
and if they beat Texas Tech, then it's like BYU
always has to go out and prove themselves. That's what
Chase Roberts said. Every game is a statement game. And
you know what, that's okay because Kilane takes that and
turns it into a motivator to his team, and so
I think he's okay with that, But if you beat
Texas Tech, I don't know how Texas Tech's going to
do at Kansas State. They could very well lose that
game because Kansas State seem to have found themselves in
the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: And I know it's back, but he's been.
Speaker 5: Out and so tomorrow's game is going to be really
really interesting.
Speaker 2: Uh and and and.
Speaker 5: The indicator of what kind of team b Y He's
gonna get next week.
Speaker 2: But you know, by even when they if they win the.
Speaker 5: Big Twelve, when they're undefeated, they're still gonna, uh, you know,
be debated on the college Football playoff because that's what
the that's what the media does. And so Kline has
been really good about just just winning winning the week,
and uh, I think I win over Texas Tech, it
makes them nine to zer might push him to eight.
You know, all these teams in front of them are
gonna start playing each other now, and so b Y's
in a really good spot. And and you know one
thing the Texas Tech game could do if they win
that is it could push them up high enough that
if they were to lose at Cincinnati and still go
to the Big.
Speaker 2: Twelve, championship game.
Speaker 5: They could still get in uh as A as an
at large whi's got to be ranked kind of Penn
stated last year it's possible, but.
Speaker 2: It's no question. It's the biggest game of the year
uh for b YU and you can start piling on.
Speaker 5: Isn't the biggest game in ten years, twenty years because
of what it's where it can get them. And then
all of a sudden, TCU comes to town. Now that's
the biggest game of the year and the biggest home game.
Speaker 2: You can't miss it because they bet TCU.
Speaker 5: Now all of a sudden, they're ten and zer and
so we're in this fun cycle that most teams are
not in, and.
Speaker 2: It's one to be enjoyed and appreciated.
Speaker 5: And I think we'll all watch the Kansas State game
tomorrow with great interest. But I like Jay Hills defense
with two weeks of preparation. No matter who they're playing,
it just so happens to be at Texas Tech.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get that Texas Tech game. I made this
declaration last week and it's starting to come into fruition.
Speaker 4: We'll see what the Cougar is able to do, and
if they were to.
Speaker 3: Prove me right or wrong. That's kind of how it goes.
I said, you get two out of three. I said,
if you get I always stated in Texas Tech, you
lose the Cincinnati and you take care of business at home.
Because I'm assuming with the twelfth Man they would they
get in the title game and that might even be
able to get you into the college football playoff with
two losses like you mentioned Penn State, so like that,
I'm hearing that point echoed. Let's transition though, Dave as
I'm here with David Can on the line and BOU
TV and a Desert News. I'm gonna go away from
sports and I'm gonna go something that you know, people
don't like when I go this route sometimes listening, and
that's okay because BYU.
Speaker 4: Has meant a lot to me in my time.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of you know, up and down emotions, obviously,
you know, recently graduating and so BYU won. Fifty October
is marks one hundred and fifty anniversary of BYU being founded.
You I said this in the beginning, are my elder.
You've been here way longer I know, and I'm not
gonna try not to get emotional. What is meant to me, like,
it's set me up to have this job. I found
my wife, I have a beautiful daughter because of that.
Take me through BYU through your eyes, because you've been
doing this a lot longer, and you're someone I look
to in this market, and like, Okay, you continue to
work hard, you continue to do what you're supposed to do.
This is what it's about. You've seen BYU through then.
And then please give me your evaluation of b YU
one fifty.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a loaded question. It is, you know in
follows Atala.
Speaker 2: I did an interview with him for game Day the other.
Speaker 5: Day and and and he made mention because I asked him,
I said, you know, you had offers coming out of
Bountiful High, Utah, UCLA, b YU and others. I go,
what was it about b YU that gotcha? And he said,
you know, I went on my recruiting trip.
Speaker 1: To Utah and UCLA and and and on my recruiting
trip to b Yunigos.
Speaker 5: It was just it felt different. There was something different
about it. The love that everyone had for each other
and the coaches with the players in your personal life
not just football, and and in the locker room and
and you know, here's this eighteen year old sensing this.
Speaker 1: UH, and now he's now he's part of it and
in it. But that's what it wasn't Hey.
Speaker 2: We're got to be on national TV and we got
to play big games and I might be able to
go to the NFL.
Speaker 5: It was he chose BYU because it felt different from
the other places.
Speaker 2: And I think that probably echoes.
Speaker 1: Of what any of us would say about how BYU
is different from other places.
Speaker 2: For me, I grew up at BYU with my dad
as the.
Speaker 5: Executive director of the Cougar Club, So b YU was
just an extension of our house and getting to know
the athletes and all those things. Gifford Nielsen had a
great impact on me. I went to a fireside I
think I was eight or nine, and he was the
speaker because he was a football player.
Speaker 2: And so it's just been part of my life.
Speaker 5: Even I was in Vegas, I was coming back here
quite a bit working for BYU TV, which I think
is one of the great modern day miracles of the church.
And so the mission of BYU is interesting. It's to
educate and graduate leaders to go throughout the world and UH,
and for the most part they're leaders of the church,
Underscorn president's, bishops, release society, presidents, mission leaders, you name it.
Speaker 2: Uh. B YU is a training ground, and Soo's b
y U Idaho and.
Speaker 5: And by Hawaii and b y U Pathway and Ensign
College and uh and their institutes at all the other
schools around the country. But but at b YU you
get it all all in one place. And UH, some
people don't like the rules, and sometimes it's it's you know,
little this and little that, but that's life. So what
Uh the the spirits that they that's there, and the
the church that it represents, and uh, the principles of
living a happy life that are that are taught there
are are just so impactful that it affects our life
for all.
Speaker 2: Of our life.
Speaker 5: And it doesn't make us perfect, and some of us
have to repent lot and all those things. But the
BYU experience and you can talk to anybody. You know,
so many athletes we spend time with and whether they're
active in the church, you're active in another faith. The
point is that BYU was the best time in their
developmental years of life because of what we're talking about,
the spirits that there, that's there, and the purpose behind it,
and I just love it. I produce our material. It's
so easy to do because there's so many good kids.
We had Suley Davis on our show the other day
one of the fantastic freshmen, aj the bants Kiyakina Bear
Bachmeyer and Jane Hedigren. These are five of the best
freshman athletes in the country, all at b YU, all
right now.
Speaker 2: And they all came because b YU felt different to them,
because they could have gone anywhere else for a lot more.
Speaker 5: You know, uh but but they chose to come here
because of of of how it feels and and the
oldest of alums stay connected because it reminds them of
how they used to feel. And uh So when they're eight, no,
and and across the board in in whatever sport, they
seem to just excel, but they also represent the values
that that are at our core and a lot of
us should develop those. A lot of people experience them
for the first time, uh and or came to terms
with them.
Speaker 2: While they were there at by U.
Speaker 5: So they sing their song rise and Shout, and the
words of that song kind of bring back.
Speaker 2: The whole purpose of the of the place.
Speaker 5: And uh and we all know that the grander schime,
the grander mission of the school is to bring people
to Christ and and uh and so that's fun to.
Speaker 2: Be a part of, very rewarding, even in losses.
Speaker 5: You know, it's very rewarding to be a part of
that process because you know, it's so important and it
supersedes schedules and good seasons and bad seasons and great
coaches and coaches that need to get.
Speaker 2: Replaced and all that cycle that goes along.
Speaker 5: But the greater mission is fun to be a part of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the greater mission is thank you for sharing that.
I love that answer. That's why I wanted to ask.
I'm big on the sports and I always on that.
I'm going to talk about it. But something that's really
impacted my life as being a convert to the church.
I remember, you know, being on bo East campus for
the first time. It's people like, hey, you know, love
that you're here talking, and it hit different. And I
can say that being a kid that came from a
single parent household in Chicago, didn't know what BYU was
and you know, had a different opportunity and maybe you know,
go to an HBCU and play baseball where my coach
was and I just remember, you know, having this burning
in my heart and you know, a non athlete, just
a student.
Speaker 4: And I was like, man, I was like, why am
I being directed to come here? I don't knowing.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously I found out, right, Like Colney says,
they don't know what they're about to find out.
Speaker 4: I found out, you know myself, right.
Speaker 3: But it represents boss one thirty nine of you know,
for behold, this is my work in my glory to
bring the past the eternal, the immortality and eternal life
of man.
Speaker 4: And and I love my talk.
Speaker 5: If you think about it, if you think about it.
We hear so much feedback from people who come to
Provo for the first time to cheer on their team.
Yeah and uh, and they're just stunned by one how
nice people are.
Speaker 2: They're stuned that that you can have everyone's having a
good time without alcohol.
Speaker 5: And uh and they and they leave whether they win
or lose, and lately they've been losing, but they leave
going that place was different?
Speaker 2: What's different about that? And I'll be the first to
tell you we're not better.
Speaker 5: Than anybody, but there are principles that we at least
try to live as best we can, and that that
radiate to other people that there's a better way.
Speaker 2: There's more information out there of why.
Speaker 5: We're here, where we came from, where we're going, and
would love to share it with you, but we try
to live it, and by by living it, we come
across as as different from those who don't.
Speaker 2: And that doesn't again, that doesn't make us the krem
de la creme.
Speaker 5: It just puts the responsibility on us to share what
we know with others so that they might be able
to if they choose to feel the same kind of
of joy.
Speaker 2: That isn't linked to whether or not you're a head
on the scoreboard.
Speaker 5: And so that's been interesting to watch so many people
come and say that even you know, it happens to
every game, so most recently was was was was evident.
Speaker 2: Even uts that come down, they're like, man, it's.
Speaker 5: You know, we don't we don't, we don't cheer for
you guys, but man, that's a fun place to be
Lavell Edwards in a football game or the Marriott Center,
and there's something different and most people don't hear a
swear word the whole night.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what. If you're in from West
Virginia and you don't hear that. You recognize that as
much as anything because it's.
Speaker 5: So commonplace from the world you're at. And so it's like, hey,
we weren't even trying to impress you. We were just
trying to you know. This is how we cheer as
when we get mad. This is what we say. And
it definitely makes it a peculiar people, I guess. But
at the same time, you know, we're not better than
It's just, hey, we know some stuff. Would love to
share it with you, and then you can find out
for yourself if that's if it's true. And that's the
miracle of the Gospel and the miracle of the Church.
I was having a conversation with a friend from West Virginia,
and I said, and we were talking about the Book
of Mormon and had some questions, and I said, you
know what, no one in the church will ever say
take my word for it. They'll say, read it, think
about it, get on your knees and find out for yourself.
And that's the beauty of what we do and how
we try to live and and and all of that
you know comes together in great family moments like trick
or treating with the grandkids, because Halloween is such a great,
awesome day and there's a great time to be alive
for a fan and for a human being, and certainly
this weekend. You tell, the weather's awesome, so everyone should
just uh just I just make the most of an
awesome Friday night.
Speaker 4: Please make the most of it.
Speaker 3: Sorry, guys, I know you maybe didn't like that I
get too deep and spiritual.
Speaker 4: I love to do it. I mean, Buie's been a
lot to me, guys. I mean, I'm trying not to.
Speaker 3: Tear up, but like the Buie presented the opportunity for
me to get a good education, and I have a
kid now obviously with the wonderful better three forced partner,
and I get to spend Halloween. When this show is over,
I get to spend four hours every day talking about
minimal sports. But the best things that I get to
go home to that and get to push around and
carry her on a stroller as you dress up as
a lamb before time. So that's the best part about
what BYU brings. It brings those opportunities, you know, even
at BYU does lose next week to Texas Tech, which
we'll see, uh, we'll see what the injury reports and
everything says come next week, Dave. Before I let you go,
you know I can't never get you out of here.
I got to give you a plug. What's the best
way we can support you everything that you do. You
got your hand involved in everything. I need to sponsor
with you so I could get to get to get
a pay raise.
Speaker 2: Hey, we're we're busy.
Speaker 5: Blaine and I have got wise guys rolling on Monday
night and been the Deseret News three or four times
a week, have some fun stories in there.
Speaker 2: Mark Durant calling Monday.
Speaker 5: The biggest season opener in the history of the program,
which it is, and uh, and and just some good stuff.
And then b YU TV with our game day show
and after for the review and our post game, and
Blaine and are calling a bunch of basketball games. It's
just a it's a fun time to be involved. And
and uh, you know, when the team's eighth and the
football team's ten and the track cross country team one,
this is a this is a good time to be
had by all. Not a great time for the youths,
but it's a good time for BYU fans. And so yeah,
I'm at those three places trying to crank it out,
just like you're cranked it out here, and you do
such a nice job. And love your attitude and uh
and Kugarnation is fortunate to have you serving.
Speaker 2: It up to him. So keep going and and happy Halloween.
Speaker 3: Happy Halloween. Thank you for the conwords. I just look
at those above me asked questions. I said that I
was blessed to have military parents, and my dad says,
how do you want to be coached? And I remember
he said to say when I was little, be as
hard as you can on me constructive criticism. I want
to get better. All I care about is getting better
every day and wanting to get the w on win.
He says, that's a good lesson, And ever since then,
I've been able to take that.
Speaker 4: So appreciate those con words.
Speaker 3: And you want to keep working hard having a good attitude,
because attitude with gratitude takes you a long way. And
I see that with you. We'll catch all of your
work at the three stops. They'd be safest. We can
watch out for the people at egg houses and the
toilet bowlers. You still got kids out there that might
do that, so you got to keep an eye out
on and keep your watch over your back for him.
Speaker 5: Hey, just send all the milk dad's and junior man said,
I'll send you the almond joys.
Speaker 3: Hey, we could do that. Hey, get rid of the
almond joys not at David Kin's house. Take those, give
them the junior men's and milk DUTs. He'll take those, Dave.
We'll catch up with you soon.
Speaker 4: Have a good day, all right, brother.
Speaker 3: See that was David cann in a little college football segment. Man,
Sorry if I got too spiritual emotional, but b what
you was a It's really meant a lot to me, honestly,
and very blessed, very fortunate to uh be able to
celebrate cover this team. I didn't know what be what
you was when I first got here. I had no idea.
I just felt was, hey, you need to go there.
That's the only answer I got, And it was frustrating.
If I'm to be honest with you, because I'm a
person I like to know. I don't like hearing little
side things on on all of it in front of
me so I can make a decision. I'm a very
stubborn person. I'm a capricorn for crying out loud, but
lo and behold. I did not know so, and that's
the mission of BYU. It's empowered me. I had two presidents.
It took me a while to get through school, but
it was okay. I got a lot of experience, been
working with Ben for a while, and I'm very blessed.
So to everybody out there traveling for Halloween, all of
those BYU alums or those know that this marks one
hundred and fifty years at BYU.
Speaker 4: So hey, you're getting blessed.
Speaker 3: You've been blessed with a maybe not one hundred and fifty,
but a lot of years of BYU football as well.
