Transcript
- 0:02SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Between Two Generations, a father's son sports podcast, because raising a son is tough.

- 0:32SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 0:32SPEAKER_00: If you love sports, me and Briggs' heated debates, you know, all of our questionable predictions, and just watching a dad and a son argue like we're both getting paid by some sports TV.
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: Definitely not ESPN.

- 1:14SPEAKER_00: I know there's so many out there that wish y'all could just be debating sports all the time with your son and then recording it.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: That's what we're doing.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Apparently, raising a teenager wasn't enough for me because I decided to give him a microphone and let him tell me I'm wrong in public.
- 1:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: I have to destroy you.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: All right.

- 1:52SPEAKER_00: And then we're gonna end out with uh All Things BYU.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: Listen, BYU, even though we took a loss, we all need a little bit of a hug, but listen, Briggs is gonna lay down why BYU is still in the national title hunt.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Alright.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna give you a little bit of facts on that too, you know.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: So all right, but let's get into it.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: You the music.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: Alright, y'all, we're actually gonna start off with giving everybody of BY Nation a hug.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: Okay, is BYU for real?
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: That's the question that happened.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: So we had the big emotional win over Notre Dame.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Amazing.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Buddy, where does that rank on the all-time sports games you've been a part of?
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: One or two, for sure.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: That was incredible.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: That Texas Ohio State one was also incredible too.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: But I'd have to put that BYU one.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: Number one.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: That that had to be number one.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: Definitely this season, but of all time, I mean it's top five.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: Top five for me.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: It's top five for me, too, man.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: Top probably top three for me.
- 2:46SPEAKER_01: I mean, that one that yeah, that was that's special for sure.
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, let's let's uh let's get into this for is is BYU for real.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: So um Briggs, I'm gonna start off with a question because I'm gonna I'm gonna give some stats that show why BYU is for real.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: Even though we lost to UCF, you know, it was kind of the uh the the aftergame of an emotional win.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: The rat poison.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: The rat poison.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: It's the trap game, and we fell prey to it.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: We did, all right.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: But listen, there all hope is not lost.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: We're gonna we're gonna hit some facts.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: But Briggs, got a question for you.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Okay, I want you to think about this before you answer.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: What wins championships?
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: A good quarterback, a good running game, and a decent defense.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: You can't be bad at one thing.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: If you be if you're bad at one thing, then you're not gonna do anything.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: You need a well-balanced, but like a strong quarterback and a a good running game and a good defense for sure.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: I love that.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: I love okay, exactly.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: So I didn't, y'all, I didn't prep briggs for any of that, but that's exactly right.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: And that's exactly what BYU's got.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: So let's break it down though, okay?
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: All right, so so um the trenches.
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: It starts with the trenches, and in football, we're talking about the offensive and defensive lines, the big uglies, as we call them, okay?
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: The guys nobody is gonna be putting on a poster, but they are absolutely critical.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: You remember, um, I mean, in your football, in your football teams, if we didn't have a great defensive or offensive line.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: It's actually horrible.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: I mean, uh if even in little league Pee Wee football, it does not matter.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: If your line is not good, it does not matter what kind of athletic stallions you got on that squad.
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: If the line is bad, the whole team just suffers for it.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: It is the most underrated for people that are just a casual style.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: For me, the line is the key to the Super Bowl.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: It absolutely is.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: Well, because you think about the Eagles, the suit the Seahawks, the Chiefs.
- 4:26SPEAKER_01: What do they all have in common?
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: A crazy good offensive line.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: And Joe Burrow, what happened with him?
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: He went to the Super Bowl without a good offensive line.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: And that's why he gets so much credit, because he's had the worst offensive line, and he still made the most with it.
- 4:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in total in 2021, he was sacked 70 total times.
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: 70 times?
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: Including the postseason.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: I did not know that.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: 70.
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: That's a ton.
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: I wonder if that's a record.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: It it has to be something else.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: It's insane.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: So but BYU though, okay?
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: So so I'm gonna I'm gonna prove to y'all, okay, with um I'm gonna give you cold hard numbers.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: The BYU football has the stuff to hang with anybody in the country.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: Anybody in the country, okay?
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: Well, I think we I think everybody knows that weekend we just had a bad week to ECFOB just freaking be a Notre Dame heavyweight favorite.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: So I mean Yeah, right.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: But I mean, even if you I agree with that.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: If you even stack us up against the Georgias, the Alabamas, the Ohio States, and Alabama's not as good as I thought they were.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying the big time programs.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: Like normally normally BYU gets little brothered according to those other programs.
- 5:25SPEAKER_01: I think we'd right now we'd be everybody except for my Ohio State, Georgia, and Miami.
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: Okay, but I I even think that we we on our best day, we can go toe to toe, and then anything can happen in the final minutes.
- 5:39SPEAKER_00: Here's the thing.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: Ohio has Georgia and Miami has Malachi Tony, bro.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: I know there's that is insane.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: There's studs, but we can handle them though.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: So here's here's my proof.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: Okay, here we go.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna start off with the offensive line.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: Here's the number that I want you to remember 17.7%.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: Why is that significant?
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: That's how often Bear Backmeyer gets pressured.
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: Backmeyer?
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: Bear, did I say Backmire?
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: Bear Bachmeyer gets pressured.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: So heading into UCF, that was listen to this the third lowest pressure rate in the entire country out of 130 plus college teams.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: We protected our quarterback the third best.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: Okay, giving him giving him time to throw.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: Um, and uh, you know where they ranked in that same stat last year?
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: I looked this up.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: 75th.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: Whoa.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: So vast improvement.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: So they went from 75th to top three.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: That's not improvement.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: That is, I mean, that's I mean, that's transformation in a way.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if any of y'all watched that rate, if you if any of y'all watched that Notre Dame game, I don't think Notre Dame had a single sack.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: That's not a good thing.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: They did not pressure.
- 6:35SPEAKER_01: No, I don't know.
- 6:36SPEAKER_01: I actually I'm like 90% sure they didn't not have a sack.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: The stat I have right here is they've only given up three total sacks all season heading into UCF.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Three the entire season.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: Three I've been sacked more times like by you and your little sisters whenever we played in the backyard.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: So okay.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: So um the uh now a lot of people point to okay, well, they played, you know, easier schedule.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, let's take a look at this.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: Um, glad you asked that question.
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: Notre Dame, the number one defense in America, that pass rush was getting was getting to the quarterback 46% of the time, nearly half of every dropback.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: But against BYU, here's your point, buddy.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: 16 um 16.7% of the time.
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: The outsaw is like I think I like kind of recorded a priori guy from that stupid targeting call.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: Oh, I know, I know.
- 7:26SPEAKER_01: But still, I mean, that was that was an insane job by BYU.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: That game was incredible.
- 7:31SPEAKER_01: I mean, just everything about that.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: But anyways, yeah, I keep going.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's exactly right.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: So our offensive line is getting it done.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: Pass protection, but also run blocking.
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: So here we go.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Let's go to the next one.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: The ground game, run blocking.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: So I just covered pass.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Now I'm going run blocking.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: Um Okay, here's the number.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: This is where it really starts to get fun, dude.
- 7:49SPEAKER_00: Like I had no idea until I started researching this.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: 5.5 yards per carry, top ten in the nation.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: 5.5 yards per carry.
- 7:56SPEAKER_00: We didn't have a good running game against EZF.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: That's part of the reason why we lost, but no, it wasn't as good, right?
- 8:00SPEAKER_00: But here's here's my favorite stat though.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: Um, and I I need everybody to listen in and lean in on this one because BYU is number one in the country in fewest tackles for loss allowed.
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: Number one in the country.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: That means our offensive line is keeping the defense pushed back to where we give enough space for our our uh our uh running back.
- 8:21SPEAKER_00: So, Briggs, what does that mean in plain English?
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: Okay, I like to break this down for, you know, because we got a lot of grandmas that love listening to our show too.
- 8:28SPEAKER_00: We're a show for everybody.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: It means defenders can't get into the backfield.
- 8:32SPEAKER_00: The running back isn't getting hit behind the line of scrimmage.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: Every single play starts forward.
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's the offensive line winning rep after rep all game long.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: They're doing it without their stars.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: Sione Moa, backups quarterback uh running back.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's out for the year.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: LJ Martin, he's missed the past couple games.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: He was the last year's Big 12 offensive.
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: Sione Moa's out for the year.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: He's out for the year.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: That's the update.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: He got injured again.
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: That's the that's the last update I saw.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: When does LJ coming back?
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: LJ's coming back in two weeks.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: He'll miss two more games, including Utah.
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: He's projected out for Utah, unless something help help helps.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: Okay, so who steps up?
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: Our third string, fourth string guys.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: Preston Rex, Journey Tonga, love that guy.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: Devon Eka, guys you've never heard of in August.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: Because our offensive line is getting that push.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: That's not luck.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's that's Kalani's system.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: So when the line is that good, you plug the next guy in and keep rolling.
- 9:22SPEAKER_00: Imagine if we had LJ Martin.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: It's just incredible.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: We would have been, I mean, we would have I'm missing LJ, man.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: Now let's go to the defense.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: So that's our offensive line.
- 9:33SPEAKER_00: Now let's hit the defense.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: Um heading into UCF.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: So this is before UCF, BYU was 12th in total defense, 8th in rush defense, and 13th in scoring defense.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: Top 15 across the board.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: Top 15 across the board.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: But here's the stat that blew my mind.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: So, Briggs, how many points do you think BYU was given up per game uh when the game was actually still competitive?
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: So, you know, not like not garbage time, but like real football.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: What eight point eight under nine points a game when it mattered.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: Um and so what about Notre Dame?
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: So CJ Carr, a Heisman candidate, one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: A lot of people are picking him, projecting him to be the number one quarterback taken.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: So he's he never he's never graded below a 71 grade all season.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: That's really high for college.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: Against BYU, he was 57, his worst game of the year.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: And on that final drive, you know, we sent Cade Uloave, our linebacker, after him.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: Five pressures, team high.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: Cade Uloave is a stud.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: So we didn't just beat Notre Dame.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: We made Notre Dame quarterback look ordinary, and that was amazing.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: No, we won that game for sure.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 10:39SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: So now let's get into Orlando.
- 10:42SPEAKER_00: We're all feeling good about ourselves, moved up to number two.
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: Okay, now let's let's let's go to Orlando.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: All right, let's let's just talk about it.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: Um Briggs, give me uh Briggs, give me your give me give me your worst.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: Like what what is the saddest thing about the UCF game?
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
- 10:58SPEAKER_01: We were in we were right in the middle of freaking Los Angeles.
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: While we were right in the middle of this dirty area, and then we were on this like super winy road.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: And then what was funny is because this the freaking phones and like when we were watching the game.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we started watching the mid-game and we were in overtime and all this all the stupid.
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: Oh, by the way, did you see the rough in the kicker call?
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: I didn't even notice that.
- 11:20SPEAKER_00: I didn't see that either because our internet went out.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: It was ridiculous.
- 11:23SPEAKER_01: I was like, wait, what?
- 11:24SPEAKER_01: And no, and then on the last play, Bear deserves more credit.
- 11:27SPEAKER_01: Walker Lions, it was in his freaking stomach.
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: Like I didn't even know, like, it was in his stomach, he just dropped it.
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: Like, what kind of conversation it would be if we had better roughs, but hey, yep.
- 11:37SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking the high road controversial.
- 11:38SPEAKER_01: We lost that game.
- 11:39SPEAKER_01: UCF played well, and I'm all gonna be Notre Dame fans.
- 11:42SPEAKER_01: Then scream that they had a second left.
- 11:44SPEAKER_01: We lost that game, and good job, UCF.
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: But yeah, anyways, we're we're in this freaking winy road, and then it keeps like freaking stopping for like a minute.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: I'm just like getting so irritated because I'm feeling freaking sick from this winy road.
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: We're in a Los Angeles, I'm sweaty, I'm hot.
- 12:01SPEAKER_01: I was feel like I was in the car all day, and then all of a sudden it just stopped.
- 12:05SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh my gosh.
- 12:06SPEAKER_01: And then there's one more, and the first overtime where Baird threw at Dying the Legend Glaskar, and after he scores me and my dad started screaming in the car.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: Freaking out.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: And then Eden and my sister, a little sister Eden in the back, she was just like, Oh my gosh, here did they go again?
- 12:19SPEAKER_01: And we're just freaking out.
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: But then when they lost, it was I was just like, freaking hate California.
- 12:24SPEAKER_01: We're never coming back.
- 12:25SPEAKER_01: Oh, I was so frustrated.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: I know, I know.
- 12:27SPEAKER_01: And it was sad because then like it was sad because uh I just had a feeling that freaking Arch Main was gonna sell again, but he didn't.
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: But I was like, yeah, Arch is gonna sell again.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: Sky's falling for both teams, but no.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: Texas game too.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: You know, a little side tip, but here's a life hack for all of our listeners.
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: If you're ever caught in Los Angeles traffic, go ahead and have the University of Texas football game on because it makes the traffic go by a whole lot better.
- 12:49SPEAKER_00: So I'm just saying.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: I had my eyes on the road and hands on 10 and 2, don't worry.
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: All right, but the the defensive breakdown, okay?
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: Um, so UCF ran for 170 yards on on our defense that had only been allowing 86 a game until that point.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: So UCF cracked our code and they they they threw it on us.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: They threw for 293 on our defense that only been allowing 188.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: See, so across the board they were whooping us.
- 13:14SPEAKER_00: And then we had our defense had zero takeaways, zero turn errors, no fumbles, no interceptions.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: Third straight game without one for us.
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: So it's fair, it's all fair.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: It was ugly.
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna sit here and you know pretend like it wasn't, but here's here's what I do believe, and I know you do too.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: Back me up on this, buddy.
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: Um, this goes for football and life.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: One bad here, cue your moment, buddy.
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: Here's your life lesson from your dad.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: One bad day doesn't define you what you do the next day does.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, bad.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, baby.
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: Nice.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Seven weeks of top 15 defense does not disappear because of one road game.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: Eight days after the biggest win in program history.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: That's not a fraud.
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: That's just a hangover.
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: So listen, BYU's coming back.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: We got to do that.
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: We're gonna be fine, we're gonna absolutely dominate you today.
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: We're gonna run the table.
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: We've got the stuff to do it, and we're gonna be in the college football playoff.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: And I think we can surprise some people in the playoff.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: I really do.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: I 100%.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: Let's go, Cougars.
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: Anything else, buddy?
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: Uh no.
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: Boom, fire.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: Buddy, it's time now for your favorite segment.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: And uh leave now.
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: Nope.
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: You gotta stay because I need your reaction on this part, buddy.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: Trying to leave on the most important segment, buddy.
- 14:36SPEAKER_00: So it's time for between two hearts, mom's favorite part.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: You know, this is where we're skipping all the stat sheets and all the deep analytics and all the debates, right?
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: And now here's where we give everybody a hug with a heartwarming story.
- 14:50SPEAKER_00: But this is my favorite part because listen, guys, um, if you want your wives to lock into whatever sporting event that you want, remember, this is how I got my wife to be a huge sport thing.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: I just found all the great heartwarming stories of any team that I wanted her to pay attention to.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: And I told her all these great stories, all right?
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: Um, now sometimes I might have elaborated a little bit on the exact stories when I was first starting out, but there's so much great heartwarming stories out there.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: This is the one that I want to that uh that I want to tell you, but really, I mean, Briggs, this is your favorite part, bro.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: Come on, you love the heartwarming stuff, am I right?
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: So for there.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: So, all right, but tonight tonight's story is about BYU's quarterback number 47, Bear Bachmeyer.
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we're gonna go back about 17 years ago to a rec center outside San Diego.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: There's a two-year-old in the lobby with spiky black hair that's young Bear Bachmeyer.
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: He's got a red tank top on and shorts that are big enough to be a parachute.
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: There's a picture of it online.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: We'll probably drop the link to it on here, but it's phenomenal.
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: That's where I'm getting the story from.
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: Uh, so he's dribbling a basketball without even looking at it at two years old.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: He's two.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: I was still I was still losing fights with my sippy cup back then.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: And here's this kid, hand-eye coordination is just going crazy.
- 16:09SPEAKER_00: So grown adults were stops, and they just cleared a space to watch this little toddler like he was a street performer, right?
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: So his mom, April, put it simply.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: She says, His hand eye coordination was unbelievable from the time he was a little kid.
- 16:22SPEAKER_00: Alright, so the legend of Bear Bachmeyer is starting to grow.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: Then he starts tackle football at age five, and he wins his league MVP, his first year at five years old.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: So the next season, his mom asks him, Bear, what's your touchdown goal this year?
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: So six-year-old Bear Bachmeyer looks at his mom without hesitation and says, 70.
- 16:42SPEAKER_00: 70, right?
- 16:44SPEAKER_00: So most six-year-old's goal is don't cry when I fall down.
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: Okay, he scored.
- 16:48SPEAKER_00: You know how many he scored that year, buddy?
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: 77, dude.
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: The kid didn't just hit his goal, he paid interest on it.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: So now here's my favorite part.
- 16:55SPEAKER_00: The Bachmeyers, hey Briggs, listen in on this part.
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: This this is gonna motivate you even.
- 16:59SPEAKER_00: Okay, the Bachmeyers lived on top of a mountain in California, surrounded by a national forest with long, steep, dirt driveway.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: A dirt driveway, not an asphalt.
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: That's important to the story.
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: Late at night, Bear would load a wagon with 45-pound weight plates and drag it up and down that hill in the dark.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: So his brother Tiger, who's also on the football team, said that the night before a game, uh, you would look outside and see a little flashlight that was just bouncing up and down the mountain.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: It was Bear pulling that wagon up and down, getting stronger.
- 17:30SPEAKER_00: So if I saw that out my window, I'm calling the sheriff.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: I'm getting a little worried, but that's what greatness looks like at 11 o'clock at night.
- 17:37SPEAKER_00: A kid, a wagon, and zero chill.
- 17:41SPEAKER_00: The kid was just grinding.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: So inside the house wasn't any calmer.
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: I love this part, kind of reminds us of our house a little bit.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: Uh his mom says the kids built an obstacle course down the hallway, and if you ran it, you got hit.
- 17:52SPEAKER_00: So picture frames were fallen, bases were tipped over, trophies went flying, and April's take on where all that athletic talent came from, she jokes it came from her.
- 18:02SPEAKER_00: Every mom says that, and every mom is probably right.
- 18:05SPEAKER_00: Your athleticism, bro?
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: That came from mom, we all know it.
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: Okay, but here's what gets me.
- 18:09SPEAKER_00: When you when you talk to the Bachmeyer boys, they always come back to their parents.
- 18:14SPEAKER_00: The time, the money, the 45-minute drives down that mountain to school every single day.
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: They built a special bond together.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: They didn't get there alone.
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: Somebody was driving the car and keeping the lights on, literally.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: So when you see Bear this Saturday playing football for BYU Cougars, running out there in that tunnel in Provo, I want you all to remember the kid with the flashlight who wouldn't quit and the mom who let him drag weights through her driveway at midnight.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: His mom let him do that.
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: That's amazing.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: So, mom, that's your favorite part.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: And honestly, this is mine too.
- 18:47SPEAKER_00: Bear Bachmeyer, the flashlight, wagging up and down.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: Amazing crit.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: And that's your favorite part.
- 18:53SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: All right, we we always love that, but on to the real meat of the show, Briggs.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: Briggs about to lay it down.
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals, buddy.
- 19:17SPEAKER_01: Tell us about it.
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: I am just, I was so happy on I was so happy on Sunday.
- 19:22SPEAKER_01: I even watched the game.
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: That was the funny part.
- 19:24SPEAKER_01: But like, we reached out the beach.
- 19:26SPEAKER_01: I mean, we found like freaking fire town in California.
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: And then like every like 20 minutes, I was checking the score, and they was like, all of a sudden it was like zero to 13.
- 19:33SPEAKER_01: At halftime, I was like, okay, oh my gosh, I freaking hate football.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: It's all because of California.
- 19:38SPEAKER_01: And like an hour, I mean an hour passed, I looked at the phone, it's like 35 to 28, 13.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: I'm like, yes, let's freaking go.
- 19:45SPEAKER_01: And I was like, my BYU lost.
- 19:47SPEAKER_01: And then freaking Arch Manning threw that stupid pick at the end, but Joe Bro came through for me as he always does.
- 19:54SPEAKER_01: But anyways, I'm going straight into it.
- 19:57SPEAKER_01: Um, Joe Burrow should be the MVP front right now.
- 20:00SPEAKER_01: There's no question.
- 20:00SPEAKER_01: Kenneth Walker, I mean, yeah, I understand that he's completely changed the Chiefs' offense, but the running back for the Chiefs.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 20:07SPEAKER_01: He's not.
- 20:08SPEAKER_01: I don't I hate everything about the Chiefs, so I'm not even gonna mention the Chiefs and whatever their quarterback names.
- 20:12SPEAKER_01: I don't even know.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: He's like, they should just be the team who should not be named.
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: Like, let's just come up with a different name for them.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think a quarterback's like a frog.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: He's kind of fat, probably eats chilies three times a week.
- 20:24SPEAKER_01: He kind of talks like a frog, I don't know.
- 20:25SPEAKER_01: And then there's a guy that himself.
- 20:28SPEAKER_01: Oh, Chris Collins.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: Patrick Mahomes is great.
- 20:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, but yeah, so I'm gonna give you some stats to why Joe Burrow is this year's looking eerily similar to 2021 and 2022 when in 2021 we went to the Super Bowl, should have won that game, but we played the Rams.
- 20:47SPEAKER_01: We were one of the best teams, obviously, in in the maybe this decade.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: But anyways, and then 2022 when we went to the AFC Championship, should have won if it wasn't for that stupid.
- 20:56SPEAKER_01: I remember this vividly in my in my mind.
- 20:58SPEAKER_01: It was the unnecessary roughness in the in the end, whereas I don't even I can't even remember his name, but it was it was the he was so Patrick Rose was running out, and then the one of our linebackers or D's or something, our outside linebacker just freaking uh unnecessary roughed him, and then of course the Harrison Butker guy just freaking kicked a 50-yard bomb and lost.
- 21:17SPEAKER_01: But anyways, should have won that one.
- 21:19SPEAKER_01: 2021, I'm gonna use a stats.
- 21:21SPEAKER_01: So 2021, I'm trying all 2021, 1,540 yards, 14 passing touchdowns, a sem seven interceptions, 70.7% complete uh completion percentage, 107.9, so 108 passer rating, and then um 256.7 yards per g yards per game, 16 sacks taken, and a four and two record.
- 21:45SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 21:45SPEAKER_01: So that was in 2021.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: So and then now 2026.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: That was that was the first seven games.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: The first six games.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: Well, Joe Well, they've already had a bye week, so this is six games.
- 21:54SPEAKER_01: So this is so these are both six games.
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: Oh, I gotcha.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: So now this season is sixty hundred and fifty three yards.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Yards, 15 touchdowns, three interceptions, a 71.7 completion percentage, a 110.4 passer rating, a 275.5 yards per game, and only 10 sacks taken.
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: Our offensive line this year are so much better.
- 22:17SPEAKER_01: And we have a four and we have a four and two record this season.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: And we just l dude, I okay.
- 22:23SPEAKER_01: Did that second half?
- 22:24SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: I was in heaven, bro.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: It was Monday after I just finished my work, I was walking on the train.
- 22:30SPEAKER_01: I was just like watching the game.
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: It was so awesome.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: That was like peak life for me.
- 22:35SPEAKER_01: I was just watching he was just ripping everything out.
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: I was like, T Higgins is just like.
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: So you got the live updates while we're on the beach on Sunday in California.
- 22:43SPEAKER_01: Monday, I come home and I just rewatched the second half.
- 22:45SPEAKER_01: Rewatched it.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: Dude, they were like an they were just a nuke.
- 22:48SPEAKER_01: Like they were a nuclear bomb that just went off in the second half.
- 22:51SPEAKER_01: It was awesome.
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: I was so happy, man.
- 22:55SPEAKER_01: I love that.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: But the funny thing about this is that in 2021, sure, Joe Burrow plays Joe Joe, Joe Burrow was playing good both both years.
- 23:04SPEAKER_01: And in 2021, they had a good defense.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: 2023.
- 23:10SPEAKER_01: They've never had a good defense.
- 23:12SPEAKER_01: This year, though, on the other hand, we might have actually a decent defense.
- 23:16SPEAKER_01: Like everyone is hoping.
- 23:17SPEAKER_01: Nobody needed a number one defense, top ten defense.
- 23:19SPEAKER_01: We just needed 13-18 level defense, like a very average level defense, right?
- 23:25SPEAKER_01: So scoring defense were eighth, okay?
- 23:28SPEAKER_01: Total yards allowed 21st, passing yards allowed 22nd, rushing yards allowed 18th, so not very good.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: But our sacks were tied for first per game.
- 23:37SPEAKER_01: So we have three and a half sacks per game, which is tied for first in the league.
- 23:41SPEAKER_01: And then tied for fifth in takeaways.
- 23:43SPEAKER_01: We have nine, so one and a half per game.
- 23:45SPEAKER_01: And our third odd defense is horrible.
- 23:47SPEAKER_01: It's 30th in the league, but still, we just needed that extra like one interception or two just to help Joe Burrow.
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: And I mean it is working.
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: So Joe Burrow, so a formula for winning for me in the Super Bowl is a decent offensive line, decent running game, and then a good quarterback.
- 24:04SPEAKER_01: And then a good defense.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: Joe Burrow is marking, and Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals are arcing for the check marks, right?
- 24:10unknown: Yeah.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: Like that's four and we that's green, green, green, green.
- 24:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, to me, this should be, I mean, nobody should everybody should be talking, like, everybody should be talking about this more.
- 24:18SPEAKER_01: Like the Cincinnati Bengals are freaking, like, I know we played Tyler Huntley, but well still that Ravens delighted.
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: And then I was looking at this, I was looking at this earlier.
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: Our our schedule until I was just going to the Chiefs game is the Titans, Falcons, Steelers, Commanders, Saints, and Browns, and then the Chiefs.
- 24:38SPEAKER_01: That's straight dubs.
- 24:39SPEAKER_01: So I could very much easily be a 9-3, 10-2 Bengals game, and to going into the Chiefs, right?
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 24:46SPEAKER_01: And they're gonna be the Chiefs, so we're gonna be 11-2.
- 24:49SPEAKER_01: So I think we're gonna end up 15-2.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: I actually don't think that, but hey, why not?
- 24:54SPEAKER_01: I mean, 13-4, realistic.
- 24:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 13-4 is very realistic for me, but are you calling it?
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: Are you calling it?
- 25:01SPEAKER_00: Are they are they your Super Bowl favorites at this point?
- 25:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 25:03SPEAKER_00: Assuming everybody stays healthy.
- 25:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and hold on.
- 25:06SPEAKER_01: Also in 2022, I just want to let I just want to let everyone know the Bengals should have gone the number one seed in that year.
- 25:13SPEAKER_01: I think y'all all remember the Buffalo Bills, Damar Hamlin.
- 25:16SPEAKER_01: Do you remember that?
- 25:17SPEAKER_01: Where he collapsed.
- 25:18SPEAKER_01: So the uh yeah, in that year, the Bengals beat the uh the Ravens and the Chiefs that year.
- 25:25SPEAKER_01: So if they were so if they won that game and and they would also have been the Bills, those are the top three teams, Bengals have been in all three of their matchups.
- 25:32SPEAKER_01: So Bengals would have been the same record, they would have been the number one seed.
- 25:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they were on that track.
- 25:37SPEAKER_01: And it who knows what what we're talking about now, yeah, if the Bengals got that number one seed.
- 25:42SPEAKER_00: That's a legit argument and consideration.
- 25:44SPEAKER_00: Like they if if that didn't happen, they could have they could have had the inside lane to the Super Bowl.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: And then yeah.
- 25:50SPEAKER_01: And then next year, you know, you start falling off as Joe Burrell gets injured because his offensive line sucks.
- 25:55SPEAKER_01: But this year is very different.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: We have a decent offensive line, decent defense, a good running game.
- 26:00SPEAKER_01: We don't handle balls to Chase Brown that much.
- 26:02SPEAKER_01: The dark truth of the Cincinnati Bengals is we don't run the game, we don't run the ball.
- 26:07SPEAKER_01: So that's why Chase Brown isn't popping off in stats like Kenneth Walker and Christian McCaffrey and like Saquon Barkley and all these guys.
- 26:14SPEAKER_01: Because those teams, those offenses, need Saquon, Christian McCaffrey, and Kenneth Walker.
- 26:20SPEAKER_01: Because Mahomes isn't gonna do crap because Mahomes sucks.
- 26:23SPEAKER_01: I hate Mahomes, he's just the dumbest guy ever.
- 26:29SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
- 26:29SPEAKER_01: But Kenneth Walker and and Brock Purdy did like the 49ers and the Chiefs need those guys, right?
- 26:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 26:34SPEAKER_01: Like he's like they're getting 30, 20, 30 carries per game.
- 26:38SPEAKER_01: Chase Brown on a good day gets like 15 carries per game, you know?
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: Because Joe Burrow is yeah, we don't need a good running game when you have Joe Burrow.
- 26:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:47SPEAKER_01: But when he when they do hand the ball off though, I mean Chase Brown, he he's he's good.
- 26:53SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's very underrated.
- 26:54SPEAKER_01: But he just doesn't get that much stats just because we have Joe Burrow and you don't need you know, they hand the ball off 30 times.
- 27:01SPEAKER_01: So yeah, but yeah, that's that's all I gotta say.
- 27:05SPEAKER_01: So I love it.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: Let me ask you this do you feel like the Bengals and Joe Burrow are getting the appropriate love from the sports media as they should?
- 27:12SPEAKER_00: Joe Burrow is the Bengals aren't.
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 27:15SPEAKER_01: Joe Burrow, I mean everybody I mean, all the like the big like there's a bunch of little guys on Instagram that like, you know, they're like MvP conversation, but it's not they're not like any big names, like until you know, Fox Sports, Colin Coward, all these kind of guys like start like they're not really glazing on them yet, just because they haven't really it's not really been eye-popping yet.
- 27:36SPEAKER_01: Like all the little like all the you know lower guys to like especially us and all these like little commentators on Instagram, they definitely see it.
- 27:43SPEAKER_01: So everybody sees it, but just like you know, the big like Fox Sports guys, they just don't see yet, but they will.
- 27:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: They definitely will.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: Mark m so a couple names.
- 27:52SPEAKER_00: Mark Schlereth, he um was a Super Bowl winning uh offensive lineman with with the Denver Broncos back in the day.
- 27:58SPEAKER_00: He's now a big sports media guy.
- 28:00SPEAKER_00: Um he's the clip of the guy that I was showing you the other day where he said Joe Burrow is the closest thing to Tom Brady, so he would actually put him as one of the top three quarterbacks of all time.
- 28:08SPEAKER_00: Uh he just needs a little bit more time in the league to keep proving it, right?
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: Stay healthy.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: And then another guy that I love, Chase Daniel.
- 28:15SPEAKER_00: Remember, he's the guy that breaks down the the film with the all 22 in the actual routes so you can actually see.
- 28:20SPEAKER_00: Uh he he says Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in the league over Mahomes, Allen, everybody.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: Um, and there was another guy that I saw was saying something.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: Dan Orlovsky was also giving him some big praise on ESPN too.
- 28:32SPEAKER_00: So get starting to get some love, buddy.
- 28:34SPEAKER_00: Starting you get so excited.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: I'm glad uh I'm glad I'm actually recording.
- 28:37SPEAKER_01: This football season is gonna be good.
- 28:44SPEAKER_01: Texas BYU, the BY is gonna be fine.
- 28:46SPEAKER_01: Texas, I don't even know.
- 28:48SPEAKER_01: Who knows what's happening in Texas?
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: Up to the old miss, but who knows?
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: I mean they have the most impressive wins, but also they have looked the worst in their losses, right?
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: Like I wouldn't be like the thing about Texas, I wouldn't be surprised if we win the SEC championship on the number one seed.
- 29:05SPEAKER_01: I also wouldn't be surprised if we finish what what we're what four and three, five and three?
- 29:10SPEAKER_01: I mean a four and two, five and two.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't be surprised if we wish like six and six.
- 29:14SPEAKER_00: Like I wouldn't be surprised if we finish, you know, like ten and two, but a six and six is also a play.
- 29:20SPEAKER_00: It's wild.
- 29:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's yeah, I have no idea what I'm gonna see from Archie Manny.
- 29:24SPEAKER_00: I'm sure we're gonna be talking about this on a future episode, but I think this is the year that one, maybe two teams get in the playoff with three losses.
- 29:30SPEAKER_00: I think this is the year.
- 29:31SPEAKER_00: I think who?
- 29:33SPEAKER_00: I don't know yet, but I just think it'll happen.
- 29:34SPEAKER_00: Somebody even the SEC.
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: I think there'll be two Big 12 teams.
- 29:37SPEAKER_00: I think Utah and probably uh BYU and Utah make it.
- 29:40SPEAKER_00: Uh and BYU.
- 29:41SPEAKER_00: I think so.
- 29:42SPEAKER_01: Well, because here's the thing about I I don't know.
- 29:44SPEAKER_01: See, because I think BYU is gonna beat Utah.
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: Okay, well then I'll put Utah uh put Utah like 7-1, 8-1.
- 29:52SPEAKER_01: That'd probably put them at 8-1 because they're probably gonna be able to.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what I mean.
- 29:55SPEAKER_00: So I think it's good to Utah's gonna be.
- 29:57SPEAKER_00: Utah's undefeated so far, but I mean I I just think they're also their best game was Houston and the rest of them.
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: Their one loss is gonna be to BYU, and then we're gonna meet again in the Big 12 championship, and then um one of us is gonna lose.
- 30:09SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be Utah again, but I think they reward Utah for only losing to BYU twice.
- 30:13SPEAKER_00: So I think they put I think they put two Big 12 teams in, and I think they put at least one SEC team in with a three loss, and I think it'll be Texas.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: That's that's kind of what I'm calling.
- 30:22SPEAKER_01: But really, well, Utah.
- 30:24SPEAKER_01: So Utah, they have a Cincinnati game, that should be dubbed for them.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: So then they go play us, right?
- 30:30SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 30:30SPEAKER_01: So if they lose that game, that basically eliminates them from college football.
- 30:34SPEAKER_01: I mean the Big 12 championship.
- 30:37SPEAKER_01: Because then we'd have the head-headed matchup against them, depending on how like Arizona and not Arizona, like Houston, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech do the rest of the year.
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: But if yeah, if if we beat Utah.
- 30:49SPEAKER_00: Well, and Arizona, because they've only got one loss.
- 30:51SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, but we beat Arizona.
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: I know, but they could still get into the Big 12 over Utah.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so if we so if we beat Utah, they'd basically have to win out for a chance to have a shot at the Big 12 championship.
- 31:02SPEAKER_01: But we all but BYU on the other hand also has to win out all their games.
- 31:05SPEAKER_01: If we used to lose if we used to lose if we lose to Utah, that we're probably not gonna make it to the College for Longplay.
- 31:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
- 31:12SPEAKER_00: So, and it's at Utah too, and it's always a tough rivalry game.
- 31:15SPEAKER_01: It's at 10 a.m.
- 31:16SPEAKER_01: You know how stupid that is?
- 31:18SPEAKER_00: We got robbed.
- 31:19SPEAKER_01: We got freaking out.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: That is a loaded college plate that day.
- 31:22SPEAKER_01: I was about to get so ticked off, but then I looked at the other games and I was like, There's some big games.
- 31:26SPEAKER_00: So I mean who are you gonna put in that 10 a.m.
- 31:28SPEAKER_00: slot?
- 31:28SPEAKER_00: They have to put one of these big time games at that 10 a.m.
- 31:31SPEAKER_01: They should have put in like freaking.
- 31:32SPEAKER_00: I felt like they should put somebody on the east coast.
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: That way it's noon for them and not 10 a.m.
- 31:36SPEAKER_00: out here.
- 31:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but if if we don't get big new kickoffs for the 10 a.m., because the 10 a.m.
- 31:42SPEAKER_01: slot is not good.
- 31:43SPEAKER_01: I love that big new crew.
- 31:45SPEAKER_01: Dude, if we get Joel Clott and do Gus is his name?
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: Oh, what's his name?
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Gus.
- 31:49SPEAKER_00: Gus something.
- 31:50SPEAKER_01: Gus.
- 31:50SPEAKER_01: I think it's like it's like Johnson or something.
- 31:52SPEAKER_00: I think it's Gus Johnson and Joel Clatt.
- 31:53SPEAKER_00: Dude, he is.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: Those guys are great.
- 31:55SPEAKER_01: That Gus guy's the most hype guy ever.
- 31:57SPEAKER_01: I love his calls when it's like the last second, like, and it's like, oh not.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: It's like he gets like such like a high voice, like a high like screak screen, and it's creepy.
- 32:07SPEAKER_00: You can't help but get excited with it.
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: I think, I think, buddy, I think Fox Sports, for me, I enjoy the Fox Sports sports crew and uh productions better than ESPN.
- 32:19SPEAKER_00: Like Robert, RG3, I like RG3 better.
- 32:25SPEAKER_00: College game day is still peaked.
- 32:26SPEAKER_01: And then they have and they have Chris Fowler.
- 32:29SPEAKER_00: Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreet.
- 32:30SPEAKER_00: They're great.
- 32:32SPEAKER_01: They call every big game.
- 32:34SPEAKER_00: But yeah, no, you're right.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: And so I do like them, but I also like Gus Johnson and Joel Clatt and RG3.
- 32:39SPEAKER_00: Like for me, those are the peak guys.
- 32:40SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: All right.
