their accents. But can't wait for this game. By He's
a heavy favorite, as they should be, but there's some
question marks around BYU right now.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Sure like we have a true freshman quarterback.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
We're doing something that we've never done before, is tried
out a true freshman quarterback Game one. It was awesome
though seven of eleven he he accounted for Bear block
Mark hat for five touchdowns in his debut.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Starting off right, he was.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Efficient, he was effective, made good decisions for Aaron Rodgers,
and we got to see him scoot a little bit
as well. Very dynamic with the football in his hand,
and can't wait to see what he can do versus
the Stanford Cardinal, his former team.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
There's a lot of cool storylines.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Heading up into this game, as Tiger Bachmeyer and Bear
Bachmeyer facing their former team and teammates tonight under.

The lights of level.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
But guys, stop on by, get a hot dog, gets
some root beer, come and hang out with us as
we prep you get you ready for this BYU Stanford
matchup to talk about it, though. I want to welcome
into a college football expert, a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
That's man. I want to say.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
He played in fifty games in college football, A lot
of games. Bro that he started through for over eleven
thousand yards as a quarterback at the collegiate level Boise
State and most recently Waked four US. He's the big
brother of Bear Bachmeyer and Tiger Bachmeyer. He joined our
show a couple of weeks ago. Liz, Welcome in Hank
(02:54):
Bachmeier Show. Hank, how are you, buddy?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I'm doing all right?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
How are you doing? Awesome?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Pretty cool spectacle tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I know you've been here a few times, not only
as a player, but now as a spectator.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
What do you make of the pregame and game time
experience under the lights of Le Belle.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Uh, It's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Came as a spectator last week to the Portland State
game and just like I said, like I was telling
you off air, just with it being the score, what
it was so late in the game and just everybody's
staying it was so awesome to see, and just what
an incredible fan fan base you guys have here.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
It's it's really fun to be a part of.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
It's a special place, right you get you get a
very invested fan base, right uh, and they come in support.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
They can also be critical of quarterback play. You know
they're gonna they're gonna nippick. So whenever you get like, uh,
the last thing you want is like apathy, right uh
from a fan base, But they can also be pretty critical.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
You hopped onto our show a couple of weeks agother like, hey, look,
we've got a two freshman quarterback.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Fair's extremely talent. You know, your your brother's skill set
better than anybody. You know, he'll probably make some mistakes
along the way, but the talent is undeniable and he
comes from a football family. How does that prepare him
to compete versus an acc FO Stamford Cardinal who has
got tremendous talent.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
They got good talent and good coaching staff.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah, you know, I'm really excited to see what he
builds on uh this week versus how he played last week,
you know, me being his big brother. Uh and and
I think any of anybody saw, you know, I think
that first drive, I like, I'm his big brother. I'm
gonna be a little critical, uh at least on air.
I've you know, said this to him. I want to
be confident. I think he should have been eleven for
eleven like watching it just just he like. I think
(04:28):
he made great decisions. I think those first few throws,
especially getting out there, I was like, well, were you nervous, Like, yeah,
I was nervous, but uh, yeah, I think, Uh, I
think the decisions were great. I think, you know, I
think he could uh ball placement on a couple of
those throws could have been a little bit better.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
But I think he operated really well. I think he
made great decisions.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
And and uh, I think that's that's a positive sign,
is to be uh the ability to be able to
make those just great decisions and then the outcomes will
kind of take care of themselves eventually.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
And so uh to see him settle.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
In and and uh just get that confidence, uh in
that first game, It's it's good, it's great, and I'm
really excited to see him build upon that game into
the into the Stanford game, because even for myself, I'm like, okay,
I'm I'm just with the sample size was so small.
I just want to see him against an acc opponent.
And I think, like you said, alluding dear question, I
think he's ready to go. And I think last game
(05:17):
was a great confidence builder for him and just he
he knows like he knows he can make those throws,
and he got better as a game went on and
he got more confident.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
They got him in the run game, moving with his legs.
I think that that's great too. So I'm really excited
to to see him, uh in this next game. Here,
let's discuss the.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Balance between what's architected and then what's ultimately you know,
ultimately what's employed. Uh, Eddie quarterback has to go through progressions, yes,
but it's always nice with a young quarterback to have
what you're playing on in that in that particular play,
what you're playing on in practice ultimately come open in
the game. And I think in the Portland State game,
(05:56):
what was planned, what was prepared for it was it
was typically there and he made good decisions. He made
the right decisions within the architecture I tend to lean
on as a former athlete myself, I really lean on
Aaron Rodders got to put baron a good position to
make plays, and I felt he did that Game one.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It makes a little bit tougher. You've worked with a
lot of OC's.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
How can a Rod maybe put him in a good
position to make plays and make good decisions tonight versus Stanford.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, you know, I'm not the offensive cording or anything
like that, but I think coach Kalani and like you said,
hey Rod, they got a good plan for him.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
They got him in the run game a little bit.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
I don't know anything about this particular game plan, but like,
like you know, State and Stanford are different opponents. Really
curious to see how he handles a pass for USh
and like you said, maybe when things don't necessarily go
right according to the script. So just the ability to
be composed and progress and have a plan and then
have a plan when that plan doesn't work out right.
(06:55):
So I'm really curious to see how he's gonna handle
all that just in his second college game, and and
like I said, not really a great sample size, So
just really excited for him and I think this is
just another great game for him just to continue to
grow and just discover, you know, what.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
He's capable of in the college level. So really excited
for him.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I think, Yeah, I think a Rod coached Tataki, they
got a great plan for him. I think he last
week coach Ta Taky was saying, you know, getting him
in the run game a little bit kind of getting hit.
I always liked that person howly kind of got you
locked into the game. I'm sure they'll have that in
the plan. I played Stanford last year. I think I
think they played a lot of like quarters type stuff,
so I'm sure, Uh, they got a good pass plan
(07:35):
too for him, and and the run game at the
run game and the defense do what they did last game.
That helps out tremendously as a quarterback always.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
So, so you see quarters a lot with with with Stanford,
you'll see maybe some cover three, cover six, right, like
I mean, but you saw.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
A lot of quarters last year. Yeah, there, so with
their personnel, yep.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So what are some of the the the things that
you can expose in quarters through the pass game and
then uh, and then also when you're facing more zone
based game in the run game, as well with their
I think they run a lot of thirty front with
their guys.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Okay, yeah, I from what I remember too, I think
the safeties come down in the run fit the RPO game.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
But obviously I think we're gonna we're gonna run the ball,
uh and then the play pass with it to tie
the play pass get him on the move too.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I think that that's all good stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Like I said, I don't know the game plan or anything,
but just watching BYU always it's it's.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
A traditionally traditionally both personnel sets, but then Stanford and
by You are very similar, very similar. There are some nuances,
right you've got a Pukaa coup or something like that
in the year, or you have a particular quarterback, right,
But like you look at Stamford and b YU, their
personnel year in and year out is similar in their
(08:45):
strengths and weaknesses, and there they kind of.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Mirror each other too.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah, I think I think the reason why my brothers
came here was it was very similar in the values,
the culture, the scheme, just the type of people at
that institution and here were very similar. So I think
when they transferred they came here, it aligned a lot
with their values, and like you said, I think Stanford
also has a lot of those capabiliti. They're obviously going
through some stuff, a lot of changes, but yeah, here,
(09:09):
I think it's a very NFL style scheme that a
Rod runs. Guys have done a tremendous job of just
developing NFL caliber athletes, and so yeah, for my brothers,
I thought it was a great fit. And as far
as the scheme, yeah, it's an NFL scheme.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You're gonna run the ball.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
You got the wide zone and the motions, and then
you're gonna marry that run game with the play pass
the boot game. Take some vertical shots off of that.
So if you can stay ahead of the sticks in
that regard, I think with LJ that guy's study that
was my first time ever watching watching Yep, nonbelievable, unbelievable
tight end looked really good. You know, Chase Roberts, all
those guys looked great. Cody Hagan, that guy looks like
(09:41):
a freaking stud. Get that guy the ball, get him yeah,
uh huh, get that guy the ball. But yeah, really fun,
really exciting, it was really creative. I think he just
did a great job being so multiple and it was
really fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It was funny when they went you know.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
What play I'm talking about, when they they you know,
the ball got away away from Bear a little bit
on a throw Atlanta Cody. I thought for certain they
were actually gonna do a double move on that play
a slug o. They went with just the slant off
of a kind of a zone radar po type of look,
and I was like, man, with that much space with
a ten four to ten five, one hundred meter guy,
(10:14):
I wouldn't be surprised to see a double move tonight
from Cody Hagen and Bear putting it on him in
the back of the end zone. And and I'm glad
you brought up Cody because I think he can be
He's just a different player than that of Chase or
Jojo or Parker even he's He's a player that makes
you turn your hips as a defensive back really quick
(10:35):
and he can break you off real quick on any comebacks,
et cetera. But what was your favorite play from Bear
last week where you said, a dang, that's my.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Brother, man, that's a great college football play.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Yeah, I think that one where it was a boot
in the red zone and the chimney the guy and
then he jumped in and got in there.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
I think it was just a great football play. It's
just you're just playing ball, kind of backyard ball right there.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
But at the same time, he went to his progressions,
didn't have anything and then was quick, decisive, decided to run.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
And made a guy miss, made a play and got
in the end zone.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
And I think that kind of just sums up his
game is he was still cerebral, went through his progressions,
but when it wasn't there, he was able to, you know,
just tuck the ball and get in and.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Make it happen. So really excited to see him build
upon all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Hank Bachmeyer, the big brother of Bear Bachmeyer Tiger Bachmeyer.
Here on ESPN The Fan, We're at our ultimate tailgate
stop by get swagged out with some Royal Army branded
gear by lights of the barrel, grated buy fans, four fans,
get your white out gear. Come get a hot dog
from our banderwealth crew. We're feeding you hot dogs, getting
you some root beer to pick up a drink as
well from swig Get a little caffeinated so you can
(11:39):
be juiced under the lights of level be a part
of the twelfth Man and rise and shout, be disruptively
guys like you.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I mean, you played at Boise State. That crowd's pretty
raucoush at home?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
How impactful does a home crowd noise component impact the
win and lost collar? Hey, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
I mean I think just if you can create false starts,
get guys behind the sticks, that's that's an influence from
the fan base, if they can be allowed and the
crowd is really into it, and uh, you're lacking the
ability to communicate as an offense, it's huge. So uh,
just having having this is such an advantage at level
and and so I think that that's gonna be big
for them and Stanford two, Like it's different, Like we
(12:23):
played there.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I played there last year and that was hard to
was playing you know, I have too many guys there.
That was tough.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
But playing in front of a packed house is always
hard with communication and stuff, and and it's really hard
to just make sure everybody's on same page because you'll
have those and fall starts.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
So that's a big component.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Hank, you had a great career. Obviously, we chatted a
couple of weeks ago. You stated Hey, you're still in
the market play some football, yeah, you know, and it's
so productive. Uh and and you look at your tape,
you know. And I haven't watched the entire mixtape, but
I've watched enough.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Of your of your of your of your high lights.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Hey, I mean, look like you're still in the mar
to to to make some pay, whether it's the NFL,
you know, or other leagues.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Right, So what's your mindset right now in that regard?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
How are you approaching that to stay in shape, stay
dialed when that call.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Comes, yes or yeah, I know, I'm ready to go
if if there's an opportunity, like, I'm willing to pursue it.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I still want to play. It's such a fun game.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Especially coming out here last week, you know, it makes
you miss it and just not being in a in
a UF I played for six years of college football,
so not being able to do it is definitely a bummer.
And I still want to pursue it and in any
capacity that I can plan. So yeah, I'm just working out,
stand in shape, ready to go for whatever league.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Is available for me.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Is the vicarious nature though, that you experienced through your brothers,
Is that is that kind of like tangible like validity
though even though you're not playing it and you miss
it right you're not playing it right now, but like
do you get to kind of experience college football through
that through your brothers right now?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Last game, I was actually in the nosebleeds last game,
so it was it was tough for a struggle for
us to get some tickets.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I was up up in the top and I actually
liked just kind of being low key sitting up there
by myself.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
But I got more nervous for bear, for my brothers
than actually playing. I was like, oh my god, like
just do all right, Like he looks nervous or I
hope he does alright. Yeah, I was super nervous. I
was more nervous than when I play. So uh, it
definitely feels like, uh, you're playing in a way because
you just want them to do so well and succeed.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
But you know it doesn't always go like that.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
They're gonna have their adversities, they're gonna have their failures
and and they're bumps in the road and you just
gotta be that big brother for him and be there
for him.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
So uh, really love them.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
It's a great honor to be their big brother, and
and really excited to be able to watch him again.
I'm sure I'll get nervous again here, uh in a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Have they experienced do you think like I look at you,
I looked at your you know, how you played, your
personality getting to know you here, Like you know, you
guys are pretty even keeled, pretty stoic.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Obviously, I'm sure you guys get emotional too during competition.
That's just how it goes.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
But do you feel like both Fair and Tiger have
experienced enough kind of adversity through football and in life
to stay even keel.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
When it does get a little bit turbulent, right when
the when the.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Waves kind of come tumbling down, and stay the course,
stay focused and do the work, you.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Know what I mean? Like you see guys you competed
against them.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
The emotions, right, they go high low, And if you
can stay on the course and you build the trust
with your coordinators and coaches that continue to trot you
out and you can make plays.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Yeah, you know, I think you said, just just in
life and then having the foundation like in their faith
and and like we didn't come from much growing up,
so like just you know, my dad had Rachel when
I was a freshman in college, so like, there were
things that were really scary for us. My sister had
an autommunity. She stayed we stayed around with the Dollhouse
for five months when we were growing up. There's a
(15:49):
lot of things that I think led them to where
they are today mentally, emotionally, spiritually. So yeah, I think
there's a lot of things in our life that that
made them into the men that they are today.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
And so I think for them.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
And I'm curious, see, but I think nothing's too big
for them. But they got to go out there and
experience it for themselves and go figure it out, and
it's their journey.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
That's the way I kind of look at it in
my life. I think that they're prepared enough to do it,
but eventually it's like the birdie in.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
The nest, you gotta go let them fly, let them fly, right,
And I want to humanize these guys and humanize the
Bachmeyer family a little bit here, because when adversity strikes
and the passionate fan base begins to comment and say, oh,
you know X, Y and Z, right, you want to
try to humanize, want to balance it out like and
and I know that that you understand that, you know
(16:43):
there's a human element to all of this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
We want to win.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
It's not the end all be all at the end
of the day, there's still fantastic humans, fantastic people coming
from a fantastic family. What's something about the Bachmeyer family
that the cougarnation needs to know a little bit. You've
mentioned a few things that I think are important about
where you guys come in your experience as a family.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
We chatted with Bear, we chatted with Tiger a little bit.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
But what's some things that that that the fan base
needs to know about these young men that are balling
out at Brigand Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
They're just great young individuals.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
And and they mean so much to me because they're
so kind, they're so humble, and they're just really great
young men.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Like you get to know them, they are just great
young men. What you see is what you get. Uh,
They're very just.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Humble people, just try to honor our family and they
love we love just playing guitar and sitting around on
a boat or campfire and and just uh singing songs together,
playing board games, charades, whatever it may be.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Like we love doing that stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
We love just having an adventure, Like every day with
the Backmeers is an adventure. You can ask anybody that's
here at the game or anybody that knows us, who's
just a you know, quirky, goofy, chaotic, adventurous family. So uh,
we love to have fun. And it might be an adventure,
it's gonna be a memory, but you know it's always
a blast.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The etymology of Bakmeyer it's German, right, isn't there? And
then but also you guys have uh, you guys have
a dyta am.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I guess lineage as well.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Mom is from where Thailand. She's from Thailand.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
She's Asian.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
You know, there's some Asian Uh, I don't know what's
not stereotyped, but there's there's some Asian discipline within the house.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
You know, so grew we grew up just eating, you know,
bags and bags of rice with the chicken.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
I used to hate rice because we alway used to
eat every night, But I love it now and just yeah,
all that stuff is just.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Was it a wooden spoon of corporal punishment or was
it more of a branch?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
It was wooden spoon wood that's what I thought. Yeah,
Wooden Spoon, if if she runs the kitchen, you go hide.
And then eventually we got to back. Yeah, I kind
of forever she.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Could kind of whatever get it.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, and uh, eventually we got big enough to
where you know, my mom's a good block slender woman. No,
you kind of just pretend, ah, you know, and it
hurt worse than what it actually was, you know, but uh, yeah,
we you know, she didn't do that too much, but
if she would threaten it a lot more than she
actually did it, so it worked out.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
So I think she's got great kids. So yeah, you
guys did a great job. Mom, Mom, and dad's name
Michael in April Bachmeyer. Michael and April Bachmeyer. They've done
some great work with you guys. Obviously Hank Hank Bachmeyer
by my side, getting to know him, getting to know
the Bachmeyer family. What you know, what do you make
of the supporting cast right now?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
From what you saw? I don't know if you went
back and watched the L twenty two. I'm sure you watched.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Maybe the TV copy, but what did you What did
you notice about the supporting cast offensively, defensively, special teams
wise that you like.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Yeah, to be honest, I had I just watched it live,
so I can't say anything, but I think that the
run games unbelievable. Really curious see how the on line's
gonna do against a power for opponent.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah, and then the defense was great. Especial teams is great.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
So just really excited to see them and against a
you know, a little bit better of opponent.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah all right, Hank, well you can stick around.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
We're gonna take a brief time out and we'll come
back and talk a little bit more. B Yu Stanford,
Hank Bachmeyer, the big brother of Bear and Tiger.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
We're gonna see a punt return from Tiger again this week.

Getting you ready for this BYU Stanford matchup eight to
fifteen kickoff on ESPN. If you're not here, that's okay.
We appreciate your listening and appreciate you tuning in obviously,
but there's gonna be a great call on the mothership,
right That's the other thing you were part of Boise State.
In Boise State was a media darling from two thousand
(20:45):
to present on playing those Thursday and Friday night games.
I imagine that was one of the reasons why you
went to Boise the quarterback tradition, right that being on
ESPN late night kickoffs and things that nature and BYU
kind of mirrors that a little bit in the eighties, nineties,
early two thousands before Boise took took a little bit
of that, uh, that glamour of these these these ESPN
(21:07):
kickoff games.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
But there's some commonalities between those two programs.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I want to talk about it. Talk about that on
the flip side. Coming up next, guys, don't miss it.
We'll continue to break down the Stanford game as well.
Here on your Utah ESPN Radio Network one O three
nine ninety eight point three ES four.
Speaker 1 (21:25):

And I want to see a cover. I want to

I think they can execute it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But come on out here.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Get swagged out with some Royal Army brand gear byu
Licen Apparel, cricket by fans for fans. Come hang out

Let them earn your business whenever you hear our commercials,
Whenever you hear any of our ad libs and endorsements.
Let uh, let's always support our sponsors so we can continue.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
To do what we love.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I got Hank Bochmeyer, the big brother of Bear and Tiger,
by my side, and Hank wasn't too bad of a
football player himself set a bar really high for his brothers,
his younger brothers like's, you know, and I know Hank
is very competitive and is always probably in the air
of Bear. He already mentioned in the initial segment, He's like,
I expected perfection eleven of eleven on the attempts and
(22:54):
completions last week. And I'm sure you told him where
he should have thrown it, and you know, and why
should have thrown it at the time. But hey, that's
what big brothers are for, and that that competitive spirit
in the Bachmeyer family is something to celebrate. So we
appreciate Hank being by our side here as we get
prep get ready for the BYU Stanford game. It'll be
(23:16):
about seventy three degrees at kickoff eight fifteen pm kickoff.
B YU is a heavy favorite twenty and a half
and the over under set at forty four and a half.
ESPNFBI gives the BYU had ninety percent chance of victory
injury report. I don't know if there's another update on
the injury report, but Wayland Lapuahu Teina Kua both probably out.
Reggie Forriston at the game time decision. I imagine Shaye
(23:38):
Riot Strawther may be a little bit deemed up. I
don't know if he's out. We'll see if there's a
report coming out here shortly on that that confirmation. But
BYU needs to win this game, not only for the season,
but for seasons to come. When you're you're battling out,
you want to get Bear Bachmeer Tiger Bachmeyer to your
school prior to them going to Stanford.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
You don't have to wait for him to transfer to
your school.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
You don't want to miss out on some of these
guys that are b Why you fix and you got
to be able to check tape, pull it up, make
a pitch and convince them to come to by you
from the start. Hey, give me your thoughts on that
BA was lost out on a lot of recruits to Stanford,
right you went to Boise State, that they've there've been
(24:22):
some battles between Bay and Boise State recruits as well,
but how can b wa you position themselves to get
a bear Bachmeer Tiger Blockmeyer, a Hague Bachmeyer coming.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Out of high school rather than waiting for him via
the portal.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah, I think, Uh, I think it's a tough thing.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
You know, Recruiting in general is a really tough deal,
especially in today's landscape.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
I think that they do a great job with what
they do. Now, I'm not gonna tell them how to
do their time. Sure that my brothers are here now, sure,
A big fan of the program.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Uh, but I think it's really important, especially like I said,
in today's landscape with the transfer portal, you're speaking to
the guy you know transfer three times.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
So I mean it's it's just yeah, you're.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
At Boise State, then you went.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
To Louisiana Tech for a year, and then I finished
that week four US. So uh, I think really just
like I'm in a prime example, I think the ability
to have relationships from high school and and just be
really kind on both ends as a as a player
and then as a coach and a university it's really
important to maintain those relationships and on a good note,
(25:21):
don't burn a bridge on.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Either side because guys are unfortunate. I don't know if it's.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Unfortunate or what the right word is or Uh, it's
just football is volatile, yeah, very it's violent. Yeah, there's
a lot of things that go on, nuances, and you
just never know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
It's crazy now and it's a really unique opportunities and
and uh, guys can look at cam WoT.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
I mean, guys don't really change their careers.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, all these guys go do it,
and they change their their lives, their careers, uh for
the better and and uh just new, you know, new.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
New, uh new reset.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
And so I think, uh it works out you know
a lot of times, and sometimes it doesn't work out.
Like said, it's very volatile. But I think, uh, for example,
BYU does a great job. At least from my experience
as an outsider, it looks like they do a great
job just keeping relationships with guys and then building those.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Relationships early on. So I think you would know more
than me. The recruiting is picking up at the high school.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
They're right like you're saying, So I think they're competing
there in the Big twelve.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Now, you know, an I al, I'm sure is solid.
All that stuff, the culture, the university, it's such a
great fan base, great brand. All that stuff plays a
factor and a role into all of it.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
So yeah, and I think, you know, shout out to
the Lundberghs, John and Susie. He taught me everything I
needed to know about the gospel, kept me on the
straight and narrow as a youth. Shout out to the
Lundbergs uh and big Cougar roar. Also to Dane his son,
a big, big fan of the Lundberg family. But you
know you're going back to you know those comments that
(26:51):
you just made. Where you lose versus Stanford is when
when they come hard with the academic and long.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Term earning potential.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Right, Okay, Well, we're gonna give you the best Rea
and the long term earning potential within our network, and
BA is gonna have to counter that in order to
get certain guys to b YU and the academics that
bo your phenomenal. Uh, the long term earning potential of
you a your phenomenal, But you gotta be able to
pitch that maybe that networking opportunity and even coupling NIL
and higher level football hopefully along the way.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Yeah, I think the network here just from my very
very short stint with this university, it's it's just such
a global brand BYU. You go anywhere I walking down
the street with the Y and you get stopped by
so many different people, Uh in southern California, across the country,
I'm sure across the world, yep.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
And so it's a great brand, uh, great network globally,
just like Stanford is.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
And and you know, I think it's hard because you know,
I think for my whole family, Stanford was like kind
of a.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Dream school for everybody and and just uh it's tough.
I think their ability to adapt in today's landscape.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
They it's it's it's just tough.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
If you see the product of the field and it talks,
they're great people, first class people.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
It's just uh, it's just tough. And then you know,
for my.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Brother's like going with uh, Troy Taylor a great man.
You recruit me when he was at Utah back in
the day offensive ski Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, you know you're gonna be productive, you know you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Be slinging it.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Yeah, and uh, just kind of the vision he had.
And then with coach Reich, who my family loves and
and just a great man. And and Andrew's a great.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Man as well. It was just tough with him coming
in and saying, hey, you're here for a year and
and that's it, and then going were and then you know,
there's been an excess of players, and and it's hard.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
It's just been really hard, especially because we are fans
of the program in the university.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Uh, like the Tiger's going back.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
He's gonna go get his master's in computer science after
he gets his NBA from here, and so like my
family loves at university.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
It was a really hard decision for him.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
But I just think that there's such great reasons to
come here, and I just think it really aligned with
everything that my family values and and what Tiger and
Bear value and and it's just you guys, it's a
great university, Like I said, great brand, great academics. I
think it's just a really unique university institution.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Ronnie, Yeah, what was it?
Speaker 7 (29:04):
I just want to go back to the post game
last week, one of us had asked a question, what
stands out to you Bear about what you could fix
going in next week? He's the first drive go score
a touchdown, what does that say about his maturity? Out
of everything that occurred in the game, he goes back
to his first series at Lavell Edwards Stadium.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Yeah, I think I think he just wants to be
the best that he can be, and that's being process
oriented and looking back and reviewing it objectively and saying, hey,
I miss some throws on this first drive and I
got to be better for us to be successful against
some better teams.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
I have to do my job and be the best
that I can be.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
For this university, for my team. It's it's just you're
a professional. You're a professional in today's day and age.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
So this may sound too aggressive, but you know it's
something that I experienced.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
You mentioned it.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I almost want to come out and just first play
QB lead run like, put two three, four blockers in
front of him and let him just get a little,
you know, a little pop and then all right, hey,
we're good.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Okay, Now let's get a little screen game going on.
Get it out to Park or.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Get it out to Chase, get it out to Jojo,
get it out to Cody. Right then get the run
game involved, or the screen game, which is extension of
the run game involved. And then he starts to loosen
up a little, get the jitters out, get the butterflies out,
and then he can get down, which we saw that
after that first drive he started to dial in, focus in,
and just not let the scenery get the best of
(30:28):
them with that. And so how do you feel about
QB run game to write like to start off first
drive just to get it out of the system.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
I think for him it's great. You know, I I
was a different type of player.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You had some dual threat of building.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I ran around a little bit, but like you know,
like in my thought process was.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Always like, okay, where can I get a free access
throw like what they did last game?
Speaker 5 (30:49):
And just get him an easy throw, get you on
the move in the boot game something like that.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
But yeah, I think a run for him is great.
Like I said, a Rod is a great offensive mind.
He's gonna these guys in great positions and really excited
to see him. I think he's really creative. I love
the trick play stuff, so I'm always been a fan
of him calling plays and so really excited to see.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
What they come up with this.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
If we get a nice kickoff return, you get it
around like the forty fifty. I'm going max pro play
action double move Cody Hagen on like a post, corner
post or something like that, you know, because it can
be quarters.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
It'll be right.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
I mean, come on, and he just you know, draws
back seven step and just crow hops into it sixty
seventy yards.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Just let him open it up, you know.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
If we get to, you know, around midfield, let's go, baby,
get points on the border.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Peoples.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Man of the People's love you, buddy, Thanks for staying.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Hey, hot dog root beer, he's got some swag from
Royal Army bread shout out to a right man of
the peoples.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Hey ship, what's up?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Dog?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
How the heck are you man? I'm gonna catch up
with you here soon. Hey, give me a score prediction.
What do you think happens to this game? You?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
You don't have to if you don't want it. He
gave a Oh my.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Gosh, I'm a fan. Like I said, I'm getting nervous
for my brother. Yeah, I'm not gonna be yu win.
I'll give BYU wins.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Two and oh baby, that's all that mattered about wines.
The winn is wind no matter how it comes, how
do we get it? I hope the architecture sound for
Bear to thrive tonight and he makes great decisions like
you did last week, and he totes well too. We'll
see some move in the poker. We're gonna see some
of that play action game. L JCIONI are gonna be
able to balance it out. And look, you established a
run game early, everything opens up. Everything just just feels
(32:30):
a whole lot smoother getting into second, third quarter, So
we'll see how.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It plays out.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Henk, we appreciate you met, thanks for joining us, thanks
for having me, appreciate it. And shout out to the
Bachmeyer family. Appreciate you, guys,
