Speaker 1: It's Cougar Sports with Ben Kretel at its time for
the Cougar Beat getting the dish from the local reporters
that covered Cougar athletics. Welcome back to Cougar Sports Tier
on one of three nine to ninety eight three ESB
and the Fan Ronald with three man Weaver here, Brett
always bringing the hammer by my side, Dick Crammell in
the data aggregation. Then Credit will join us later in
the show here on a Friday, November seventh edition. Excited
because b a U gets an opportunity to pre prove,
excuse not pre prove that they're a top tier opponent
tomorrow against a formidable opponent Texas Tech. They got some
good wins on the schedule, but the national media is
still doubting them. We're going to welcome in Darnell Dixon
of the Daily Herald here in the second and to
have them call into the show. But look last segment,
if you missed it again, I was giving my keys
to the game of what I think BAU needs to
do in order to win. And look, this is going
to be their their toughest game I think of the season,
not just because of talent, road environment, the hype around it.
I don't think there's a bigger game. So I asked
you Kuger Nation, you know, and we discussed this a
little bit yesterday. Is this the biggest game in bya
football history?
Speaker 2: What say you? Is it? I don't know if it is.
I'm gonna ask Darnell if it is.
Speaker 1: But Andrew Peterson said it was the fourth I think
he said the national championship.
Speaker 2: You can't beat a national championship.
Speaker 1: And although that's true, Look, I mean it was way
different in national championship eras than what it is now.
Even though I hear the argument he had talked about
beating number one Miami, Miami's up there. You haven't if
you were to beat the number one team in the country.
I mean, if you were to beat Ohio State, that
would really go a long way.
Speaker 2: So look, I.
Speaker 1: Really think it could be it could come down to that.
It could be number one Miami. But then also, you
know the nineteen ninety six Cotton Bowl, that's a good
win too, all of it. All of those wins are
good wins. So it's definitely one of the biggest games
in the last thirty years, in no doubt. But I'm
gonna ask Darnell Didiction of the Daily Herald, who's on
the line with this double d Is this the biggest
game in BYU football history?
Speaker 2: I mentioned the three I'll give him to you.
Speaker 1: Andrew Peterson said, it's the fourth he won a national championship.
Speaker 2: He said, you can't beat that. I look at that
and I go like, ah, well yeah.
Speaker 1: But then he also mentioned number one Miami, and then
he mentioned the nineteen ninety six Cotton Bowl win. And
then he said the BAU Texas Tech Game. What say you,
biggest game in BAU football history.
Speaker 3: I beca agree with Andrew. I think that it's a
big game for sure, but the implications of a winner
or a loss don't sink BYU season. If they lose,
I mean, if they lose, they can still get to
the Big twelve championship game and still get to the playoffs.
And that's a cool thing. And at the end of
the season, when we look back, we may decide that
it was the biggest game. I think history will provide
us with a little bit different perspective once the season's over.
It's definitely the biggest game of the year and a
huge game, but ivor with Andrew. I think there's other
games that, through the test of time and history are
maybe a little bit bigger and had more meaning as
you look back on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not ready to make that decision yet.
Speaker 1: If it is the biggest I hear is take with that,
but I would have to wait because look, if you
don't even win the game, it doesn't even matter because
if you go out there lose, nothing really matters. So
you have to get the victory most importantly. But I
think once we look back of the season, we can
declare that. So that might be an into the December
maybe January offseason a discussion, Darnelle.
Speaker 2: This was my question of the day.
Speaker 1: I said, look, what are your biggest keys to BYU
taking down Texas Tech tomorrow? What are your keys to
the game that BA needs to do because this Red
Raiders defense and offense is really proficient.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think one of the things that stands out
to me is BYU can't fall behind Texas Tech in
the first quarter by a couple of scores. I think
that's that would be a death sentence for BYU on Saturday.
This is a fast starting team and we know BYU
has had some issues in these games previous falling behind
and having to come from behind. And they've been able
to do it against Arizona, and they did it against Colorado,
and they did it against Iowa State. But Texas Tech
is better than all three of those teams. So I
think being able to compete right away and not necessarily
a fast start, but to be on the same level
as Texas Tech. It was interesting listening to Tanner waltalk
a little bit earlier this week about he said, you know,
the first twenty eight minutes and then last thirty two minutes,
we like two separate defenses, different defenses for BYU football.
They need to be able to right off the bat,
be able to sustain drives and cause some issues for
Texas Tech offense, and just be in that state where
you can rely a little bit more on your coaches
making some adjustments at halftime and during the game, which
the Bay coaches have been really good at. But I
think if they fall behind by a couple of scores,
it's going to be awfully hard to make that up
against Texas Tech. That's a number one key for me. Then,
I think it's also important that even with it being
a big game and even with it being Texas Tech,
complimentary football still has to happen. The offense has to
pick up the defense. Defense has to pick up the offense.
Special teams has to pick up both. They've been able
to do that for eight games where they work and
rely on each other to create a bigger hole. You know,
this defense gave up almost five hundred yard the past
two games. Yet the Couvers will still find a way
to win. And so that's done through complimentary football, through
the offense stepping up and making plays when it needs done.
The special teams pinning a team back inside their ten
or picking up a turnover. So I think those are
my two main keys for the game is a good
start and then being able to find those opportunities to
make big plays, just like the have all year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you fall behind, Texas Tech can go for
the knockout blow very early, and that would be very
bad for Bau's brand and for the Big Twelve. I
think this game has to be close for the Big
Twelve to get two teams in, maybe even three. From
what other people are saying, Look, if you get spanked
like they spank Kansas State, it's going to be really bad.
Speaker 2: So hopefully that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: What type of performance, though double D does Bear Bachmeyer
need to have.
Speaker 2: Obviously, ball security is a big thing.
Speaker 1: They punched the football out Jacobar Reguez is one of
the best at doing that. But what performance does Bear
need to have tomorrow for bou to win.
Speaker 3: I'm curious to find out what Texas Tech does defensively
because it seems like most teams against Byu and Bear
Bachmeyer have come in with the feeling, Okay, let's stop
the run and force Bear to beat us, and Bear's
been able to do that either through the air or
with this running. I don't know when that changes when
teams start to decide, okay, we got to really a
plan for this Bear Bachmer kid, because he's making that happen.
He can throw the ball really well, he can run it,
and if Byu can get any kind of a running
game going so the LGMR and is healthy enough to
stick that shoulder and pick up extra yards and keep
the chains moving, I think Bear will be fine. He's
shown that in pressure situations he's been able to step up,
and you know, you expect him to be able to
do that, even though it is a big game this
year at Texas Tech. We know they're going crazy out
there in Lubbock. They've sold out the stadium. They are
students that have been camping there basically all week to
get in. It's a big game for them too. And
you might ask Texas Tech people that might be the
biggest game they played in a very long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's one of the biggest games since
they played Texas I think in two thousand and eight
from what I've read and doing my research, So yeah,
you're right, this is the biggest game camping out. I'll
twist it back. I remember my freshman year twenty seventeen
camped out for the Utah game.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 1: It was like number fiftieth of the line set, like
row three or fours, just to see BA gets paked.
Speaker 2: Should they bring that back? Should they allow students to
camp out? I think like that's gone away.
Speaker 1: But should bus to be allowed to camp out at
least students of what I'm talking about, not like the
family with four kids. Don't drag your kids to camp out,
don't be that fan get tickets for crying aloud?
Speaker 2: But should students be allowed to camp out for football games? Again?
Speaker 3: I think so, and you know, there are people who
like to be that don't rush the field police and
the Big twelve likes to hand out finds when that happens.
There's something special about being a college student and having
those experiences of running onto the field or camping out
for a game. I think that's fine. I think that
that maybe byus a little bit concerned with liability if
something happens during one of these things. But I feel
like the students should be able to camp out and
make themselves a memory that they're never going to forget.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as a former student, look, that was
one of the best memories of remembering that I at
started my BYU.
Speaker 2: You know, journey freshman is one of the most important here.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, students should definitely be allowed
to camp out, no doubt about it. Here with Darnel
Dixon on the line and the Cougar Beat segment here
on a one oh three, nine and ninety three ESPN,
the fan you mentioned now the defense.
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: What's the most important position group tomorrow that needs to perform.
Some may say cornerback, some may say, hey, you gotta
get to Baron Morton, it might be the defensive line.
Speaker 2: What say you, is it?
Speaker 1: Hey, they's got to play a good sixty minutes of football.
I feel like there's one particular defensive group that needs
to be excellent tomorrow double D.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they all have to be excellent. This is
a really good offense they're facing. But I would say
the defensive line, and maybe not in the way that
some people might think about, you know, getting sacks or
getting TFLs. I just think that the defense, the defensive
tackles and defensive ends as well. When the defensive line
is doing their job, that frees up the linebackers to
fill gaps and make tackles. And that has been a
little bitifty the last few weeks. Even Jay Hill talks
about some of the run gaps. They've just not filled
them the way that they needed to, and that takes
the team effort. You've got to have those defensive linemen
to win their position group and win their position and
allow those linebackers to step up and make play. So
I would say you're looking at at Kenotanobasa and John
tom Altea, all those guys on the defensive line that
need to step up and do their job against a
good offense to allow that defense to make plays and
to keep Texas Tech from just running all over him
because their running game is really really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can run the ball with two of the
best that they got there, Cameron Dickey can run the football.
Speaker 2: We saw it in the Utah game.
Speaker 1: We've seen it all season, and now just that they
got Reggie Virgil like, they can push the ball down
for and they got a nice tight end number seven. Look,
these guys can play football. You mentioned it. We've seen
it on tape. So is that the X factor? Then
I'm gonna ask your X factors on defense and offenses?
Keano Tonavasa the X factor? Look, this is why you
want to get this guy in the portal was for
him to show up in moments like this.
Speaker 2: I know he's taken on a lot of double teams.
Is it him or is it someone else?
Speaker 1: Who's your defensive and offensive X factors in this game?
Speaker 3: Well, my defensive X factor. I'm not going to make
it a player. I'm gonna make it something else because
there aren't a rule to this. Okay, rules. I like
that byus had a week to get healthy. That will
allow j Hill to substitute the way he wants to
keep this guy's fresh. I think that's really important that
the linebackers specifically, because there's been some injuries there that
they've gotten some of those guys, the backups a lot
of playing time last few weeks, and so he's going
to be comfortable and rotating through those guys as well
as the defensive lineman, and I think that's going to
be a pretty big factor for by us to keep
that defense aggressive and fresh. And because they had the
extra week to heal up, maybe that's that's gonna hope
that's the case. The coaches has been a little bit
coy with saying that everybody's on hundred percent healthy, just
you know, the common theme at this point the season
is who's actually one hundred percent healthy at this time?
But I think that that's going to be a big
factor for the defense. Offensively, again, I go on the trenches.
That defensive line for Texas Tech is impressive the way,
especially we saw them against Utah, which you know, most
publications like Utah is one of the top five or
ten offensive lines in the country, and those defensive guys
were really really good in that game. So that's it's
going to be a real challenge for Bau's offensive line
to keep Barrick Bachmeyer clean on his passing attempts and
to provide some cracks for LG. Martin to run through.
And so my X factors on the offense is the
offensive line. How they can establish the line of scrimmage
and hold their own against a really good defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this team, I think the trenches is where this
game will be one or losses like the Utah game.
And I think the I don't want to say more important,
but I think more importantly, I think Bo's offensive line
has to play better than Bau's defensive line because it
bears on his back the whole time. Look, I mean
this team can get pressure with three WD David Bailey.
He is nasty along the edges, and andrews Entry is
going to be tasked with that. So look, and that's
a transfer for Michigan. That's a future pro NFL guy
that he's going to be going up against. But look,
I mean you saw what happen to every Johnson got smacked,
ball got ball, got stripped.
Speaker 2: Like this team.
Speaker 1: Causes havoc, but they if you watch it, Arizona State game.
They can be had, so they're not completely invincible. This
team has been beat before, so they can. So how
many turnovers do you think BA needs to have because
I look, I don't know WD and I don't know
if I can say I'm confident and BAU doesn't force
any turnos and they do that's the type of team
that they are. I don't know if I can see
BA you won in a ball game, just straight clean football.
They don't turn a football over, they don't force the
other team to do it. I just don't know if
they're that type of team or if they can play
that type of style and win a ball game.
Speaker 3: Early in the week, and I mentioned Tanner Wall before
and this quote's been floating around there a while, but
it's there's kind of been a change in philosophy. It's
not necessarily changing in philosophy, but an emphasis. You know,
we've always heard over the last five or six years,
to do your one eleventh on this team, do your job.
And this week Tanner said and during the bye week said,
the emphasis was more on win your one eleven. Don't
just do it, win it, be dominant in it. And
he feels like that's what happened in the second half
against Iowa State. First half, they might have been doing
their job pretty well, but they weren't winning those one
to eleventh battles. And they want to try to do that,
and they've been really putting a lot of emphasis on
that and this bye week and this prep week. So
if they go into this game against a really good opponent,
it'd be interesting to watch how they address this, how
they make this work, and if that allows them to
start off better then they started the last few games
and not wait to figure it out until later, because
as we mentioned earlier, that could be tough to come
up from a couple of scores down against this Texas
Tech team.
Speaker 1: Slow Star could be costly, no doubt about it. Ten
Owall did say that you're right in Monday's media availability
what the media ourselves says when you're one eleven not
do just win it too, be dominant, and they all
take it to stuff out of dominate your one elevens.
Speaker 2: Just don't win it dominated, you know.
Speaker 1: But double D if they win this game tomorrow, I
really want to know what does this do for BYU
in the national spotlight. Do they get the respect that
they deserve? I still feel they're always going to be haters,
but I feel there's some haters and non believers in
the national media right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was interesting to me to see the reaction
when BYU was number seven in the first College Football
Playoff polls and to see people complaining about it, and
I thought, seventh, that's amazing. I agree, really, really good.
It's exactly where you want to be. You know, this
team can put themselves to continue to be in the
national spotlight. With a win, they'll be on the top
six or seven teams as this CFP rankings come out again.
And then they go into those last three games knowing
that they still have a little bit of a margin
for area to reach their goals. Now you don't want
to admit that, you you think losing is okay, but
there's a lot of pressure on this team to continue
to win when you're undefeated, and they know that one
loss is tough. But they still are in a decent
position even after that. But we know what happened last year.
They were eight and zero and they lost two games,
two games that were winnable. I mean the Kansas game.
All it took was a bad bounce of a snat
of a punt that put BYU in a losing situation.
But they didn't play well that game, and they played
really well and tough against the Arizona State and came
up a few yards short. So they know the margin
winning and losing. They're not not easy sometimes, so a
win would be great and it keeps them on their
track and keeps them in the national spotlight. They still
have their goals no matter what happens on Saturday, they
still have their goals in site. But a win does
it even more for their confidence. I think to be
able to be a team like Texas Tech on the road,
that's the most difficult thing about it, I think is
not only is Tech Tech really good, but it's gonna
be a very hostile environment out there. They're used to
going to places where eventually the BYU fans kind of
take over because the other fans bail, you know, like
they did at Iowa Stay. Yeah, I know, they just so,
so this time I don'tly know Texas Tech fans are bailing,
and I don't think they're giving up a lot of
tickets to BYU fans, not as much maybe as other places.
So this is definitely a hostile environment and a real
challenge for Columbia Sataki and his group.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, you took over that.
I don't know if you're gonna take over Jones A
and T and T Stadium. I don't know if that's
gonna happen down there in Lubbic. I mean, for crying
out loud, I talk about it and fanboy with this
quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is gonna be a college game day.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 1: Look, this game is in the spotlight rightfully so, so
I don't think there's gonna be any fans. If Texas
Tech has a lick of a chance or it's close,
you don't expect any Blue to take over by You
would really have to to dominate. But this Texas Tech
defenses and offenses is one of the best in the country,
if not the best. But let's transition into little basketball.
Know you like a little basketball. We'll even finish with
some women's soccer. But let's start on the basketball first.
They beat Villanova earlier in the week, right took care
of business Monday night. Just your initial reaction to by
you winning a gritty game at the beginning of the season,
what can I do for this team.
Speaker 3: I think people might be forgetting the fact that last
year Kevin Young did take a little while for this
team to hit its stride, and you couldn't blame him.
It was his first year, so all of the stuff
that he was doing was new. Well, this year, he's
got a lot of new players, and they've really kind
of tailored the attack to feature aj De Bonsa and
to feature Rob Wright because they can get to the
basket anytime they want. There's a lot more iso going on,
That's what I'm saying, and so it's a little bit
different to watch. We saw Aja kind of take over
down the stretch. I think he scored on four straight
drives in that end of the second half when things
were kind of dicey there. Rob was getting to the
basket but missing a lot. He missed a bunch of
shots at the rim. So there's an adjustment that needs
to take place there. And you know Richie Saunders, last
year's leading scorer, I think he's still trying to find
his place in what this offense is. He's not shot
the ball well on the two preseason games or the opener,
so that that's something that we know that he can
shoot it. We've seen him do it, so it was
a good win. It's good to get a win in
that situation in the first game. But there's a lot
of work to be done with this team too. I
hope BYU fans recognize that it's a very good, athletic,
eager team to try to do well, but they're going
to have to work hard to get together and make
this all work because it's a different, different team than
was last year. I also think it's kind of interesting
the O defense kind of getting a whip last It's like,
you know, you're playing in the national spotlight against a
Villanova team, and then and then you go Saturday at
home against holy Cross, who's pick to finish ninth out
of ten. They're small weas, so you're gonna be back
and forth a little bit with these huge, big games
and then these games that BYU will probably win by
forty and and you know, get a lot of players
in and allow Kevin you're gonna do a lot of experimenting.
So that's my initial reaction. It's a good winn against Villanova,
and there are very difficult games coming up, and there
are some cupcakes coming up where we're gonna see a
different process, and so that's kind of the experience BYU
fans will have until we hit Big twelve. Play.
Speaker 2: Definitely gonna be some cupcakes.
Speaker 1: Like you said, you're gonna get whip blashed, Like you
mentioned holy Cross tomorrow at seven pm Mountain time.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be in prov with Themera Center. Then you
get more why blash.
Speaker 1: You take on Delaware to stay November eleventh, then you
have to like it's like you're just drugging yourself and
you take on number four Yukon, and then you go
to the Delta Center a week after on a Friday
and you take on number twenty four at least now
number twenty four ranked Wisconsin. So yeah, it's gonna feel
like that roller coaster up and down, not com til
you get to Big twelve play double D. You're not wrong.
What do you need to see from this team tomorrow?
You mentioned this team has picked ninth out of tenth
to holy Cross. What do you what, guys do you
expect to maybe show up a little bit more and not.
Speaker 2: Really the AJ's the richies are.
Speaker 1: Rob'm sure you want to see chemistry, but guys, outside
of that, I think you're more worried about what's the
rotation and the bench looking like, who would you like
to see stuff up tomorrow night at the Marriott Center.
Speaker 3: You know, during that Blue and White Mary and Madness
event in October, we had amount hour between the event
and then the Blue and White for some reason, they
yeah to look for an hour and the fans are all,
you know, cooler heels and eating cooga tails and stuff.
I was watching Behindlo Boskovich just kind of go through
some shooting girls, just some pick and top things, and
he hit like fifteen in a row, fifteen three pointers
in a row. He hasn't shot that well to start
the season, and he's kind of trying to find his
role in this this this team. So I want to
see Boskovich do some good get some good stuff going.
We didn't get to see Alexi Costach last week or
on Monday. Like to see him get out and get
some stuff today. Boop was terrific in the preseason. I
think he's going to be a really important piece, so
I want to see what he can do. And then
Nate Russ, He's came in there as a reputation, Tyler
Moruss as a shooter, and I think he's still trying
to figure out where he fits in there. So those
are some guys that will get some more run in
this game as the scorer kind of climbs and so
they need to get comfortable in their roles. And those
are some guys I hope get some opportunity to show
what they can do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Tyler Marss is you know, I
even like to see Dawson Baker maybe get off a
little bit more in this game. I mean, he had
a three and then I know, rotations wise and things,
he got pulled, probably because of matches. But I was like, man,
I think that's the sixth man of the year, but
the guy that could be a potential candidate. So I
agree with You'd like to see, you know me highlight
Buckovich per Shawn Walker, that's what he calls them. I've
been told by the team and staff don't call that
and don't let him find it out because they will
make his head bigger than what it is. He'll take
it a run with it. So I guess that's one.
But that Sean Deemedon that I can't steal that nickname,
mightn't give it to him. But me highlight bucko bitch,
and you know I would love to see Tyler. I
think that's a good take. Tyler Moruss. He brought this
guy over because he can shoot the ball from the
three and he can defend.
Speaker 2: So what road does he have? Look? And that's the
depth that you have.
Speaker 1: Is any one of these guys when you think of
a Houston Darnell They got guys down the wazoo, down
the bench, and so does Kevin Young. Now so you
mean you mentioned Dominique Dimi is like, how where did
all of those guys fit in on this team? But
they got a whole non conference season, just said season,
a couple of weeks in non conference to figure it
out before you get the conference play in the next month.
In the next month and a half or so. W
let's finish on this BYU women soccer. An opportunity for
the third time, second time in three seasons, they're in
the Big Twelve Championship, an opportunity to bring home the title.
What do you like about this team's opportunity. I think
they get it done this time. I feel like they
are the Kansas. Last year in the tournament, they hit stride,
knocked off number one CTCU took out Baylor and shut
him out and got their their events. Jelly Waalbrock's been
on a tear. Do they get it done and do
they bring home the Big twelve title?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tough challenge. They've certainly been playing well
in the last couple of games. And you know, one
of the things that that's made a difference is I
think Chelsea Peterson at goalkeeper, she's been terrific. The two
she gave up in that first game were not her fault,
they were defensive breakdowns, but she was great. She was
great in the uh the penalty kick situation, and she
was terrific in the semi finals as well, making some
great stops. So a hot goalkeeper will definitely keep your going.
And then you've you've you've got a team who's found
its offensive niche a little bit more than they were.
Ellie Walbrook's been really good, putting the ball in the
back of the net from everywhere. She's bending it on
on free kicks, she's heading the ball in top team. Yeah,
they sports cent her top ten. She's really stepped in
up and they needed her to because the offense had
kind of stagnated a little bit, and especially when her
cousin Lucy Kessler was gone for a couple of games
with the U twenty team in the USA. They missed
her in the midfield being able to distribute. And I
think some other kids have gotten healthy and they're all
they've all kind of embraced this US against the World
mentality and they're in a position now I think win
or lose, they might still be able to host a
first round game in the NCAA, which would be great
for the program. Jen Rockwood has had to do a
really good job this year, and we know what a
great coach she is and what a great system she's
put together and a great thirty plus years she's been there,
So she'll have her team ready for that final. They
did a lose to Kansas at home just a week
or so ago, so they've got some revenge things going on.
But it's been fun to watch this team put it together,
and they pretty much ran Baylor off the pitch in
that semifinal match, just with terrific and great defensively as well.
So yeah, I'm expecting them to put up a really
good match tomorrow and mill the day and as people
get done with the BYU Texas Tech football game switch
over on their ESPN plus to the wash some soccer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely have been on an angry tear baptizing everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, they have been mad.
Speaker 1: They said, TC, you gotta get some Baylor. We remember
what y'all did. We actually had that victory and then
we let it slip. That's probably what they're thinking now. Kansas, Hey,
they've been lining them up and knocking them down. I'll
finish and get you out of here. On this, you
gotta think if Jen Rockwood captures a big twelve conference championship,
you gotta think she retires on that, right or does
she come back?
Speaker 2: I mean, she's been flirting with it for years.
Speaker 1: Doub you've covered her more than anybody, But I would
have to think that would probably be the last piece
that she needs in a puzzle. Look, Ellie Walbrock's already mentioned, Hey,
they're gonna win a national championship next So I don't know.
Maybe she returns, but Jim's got a lot of accomplishments.
I think would that one do the cake? Or do
you think she's got a lot left in the tank.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because we haven't really talked about it that much.
I mean I teased her a few times with Soya
coming back next year, and shows has a little smile
and says, yes, these are her girls. This is her
family that she's been putting out there for thirty years.
And she's got, you know, hundreds of daughters and hundreds
of granddaughters through that process. And she really enjoys what
she does and she's really good at it. I don't
think she's tired of it yet. And you know, every
year brings in a new group of freshmen where you think,
oh wow, you know, this group could get us somewhere.
And I think she's in a situation where this team
will make the NCAA tournament this year. I think next
year might be their year because they do get a
lot of the kids coming back, only a few seniors
that are even in the program. So I would think
she'd go back at least for one more with this
group to try to win a Naddie.
Speaker 2: She'd probably come back for one more.
Speaker 1: If she gets the big twelve time, that might be
the precursor maybe of what is to come. I agree
McKenzie vance was the only senior to go lots of
young talent, Double D.
Speaker 2: What's the best way we can support you and our listeners?
What should do?
Speaker 1: How you do and what can we find all of
your work at.
Speaker 3: Harold x tru dot com is the best place. You
can follow me on Twitter at Darnell writes. I did
a pen apiece, as Ben likes to say, about the
Bayu defense and some of those quotes that was talking
about Tannel Wall and Jay Hill. I incorporated those into
this challenge on Saturday. So if you want to pick
up an actual tactile paper and hold it in your hand,
those were available, but you can also read it online
at Harold extra dot com.
Speaker 1: You can read online of Haro at Extra, but pick
up the paper. A lot of you older people, you know,
ain't even you younger people. You all like to use
the bathroom and go to the toilet.
Speaker 2: That's nasty. Don't scroll with your phone.
Speaker 1: Take the newspaper and have your orange juice and do that,
like double D says, and read the actual physical copy
of the paper.
Speaker 2: I don't use your phone. That's nasty. Be better than
that beating.
Speaker 1: You need to have better hygiene and be more sanitary
than scrolling while you're you know, taking care of the
business in the bathroom. Read the Herald extra, herot extra
dot com. Double D, thanks for your time.
Speaker 3: I think you've come up with a new ad campaign
for us. Don't be nasty read the newspaper.
Speaker 1: Don't be nasty reduced. Hey, look, I don't ask for
a lot. I asked for, you know, lunches and things.
I'm a guy that's a simple man. I always say,
you know, I need food Saturdays and the other s.
That's not appropriate to say on air, you know, because
we have kids listening. So I'm a very simple man.
So look, hopefully that ad campaign will work out for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 2: Thanks of course, k double D. I'll let you go.
