College Football season is a busy time for me on the radio with
@kslsports
.
Here's a thread on how and where to listen to my
#BYU
and Big 12 coverage this season, along with links to each show's podcast feed. 🧵

#Big12
Kalani Sitake's response to
@CFBPlayoff
Committee Chair Gary Barta saying BYU's best win was against a "short-handed" Boise State team.
Sitake: "Last I checked, I didn't know the QB for Boise State played defense."

Urban Meyer on
#BYU
: “As a former Ute, it’s hard to say this because I was supposed to not like
#BYU
...
#BYU
’s not a good team, they’re a great team.”
#BYUFootball
Eddie Heckard: “I can’t see this team quitting. I can’t see no
#BYU
quitting. We go to a religious school and put our faith in God. I don’t think there’s ever quit.”
#BYUFootball
Kody Epps just completed his fourth season with the
#BYU
program.
When he was asked if he plans to return next season:
"Oh, heck yeah. So much work to be done. I'm so excited for the challenge."
#BYUFootball
Kalani Sitake getting a little bit choked up: "I just want to tell
#BYU
fans I'm so happy. I say it all the time but before I was the
#BYU
coach or a
#BYU
player, I was always a
#BYU
fan."
#BYUFootball
@kslsports
That's a culture win for
#BYU
.
No Fouss. No Atiki. Still no Dawson Baker. Down by a dozen points,
#BYU
never flinched and kept grinding until the offense erupted in the second half for 57 points.
The closeness of this team has been on full display this season.
#BYUHoops
Noteworthy: The Big 12 Conference gave
#BYU
a Friday night home game on September 29 against Cincinnati to not conflict with Latter-day Saint General Conference.
#BYUFootball
Steve Young made his prediction for BYU vs. Utah on SportsCenter.
“We’re gonna end the drought. Utah was afraid last year because they were afraid of Zach Wilson. Now that Zach’s gone, they’re gonna play us again. I still pick
#BYU
.”

commit LaMason Waller went live on Instagram inside LES after announcing his commitment to the Cougars.
Waller is on an official visit in Provo this weekend.
#BYUFootball
#BYU
guard Dawson Baker announced on Instagram that he is returning next season.
Baker writes, "Never even a question this is where I want to be. Fighting everyday to get back to 100% healthy and keep what we got rolling."
#BYUHoops
Patrick Mahomes on Zach Wilson’s play against the Chiefs on SNF:
“He played his tail off, he battled. We have a good defense and he made a lot of big time throws into the windows and down the field. I’ve watched him since his BYU days so I was proud of him to go out there and
Bill Self said on Monday “if BYU hits 13 threes and we hit three, that’s a difference of 30 points.”
Coach Self spoke it into existence.
That’s what happened as BYU defeated No. 7 Kansas on Tuesday.

Update from
#BYU
on Keenan Ellis:
CT scans conducted Saturday night on Keenan Ellis were normal. He spent the night at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for observation and additional testing. Keenan is out of bed, walking and reports no neck or back pain.
@kslsports
Jay Bilas on Yoeli Childs' suspension: "What a deterrent by the NCAA for the line they've drawn in the sand. To keep the model student-athlete from playing because he had the audacity to apply for a job interview."

#KSLsports
The front row of
#BYU
's student section, closest to the Texas bench, had white t-shirts with blue paint on that spelled out "Horns Down."
During the first media timeout, those students were asked to remove the shirts.

Steve Sarkisian on
#BYU
:
"We're playing a really good BYU football team, 5-2. Obviously, my alma mater. I know a lot of those coaches. Kalani Sitake and I were teammates back in the day and I can't believe he's in year eight. He's doing a heck of a job."
#BYUFootball
Kalani Sitake said
#BYU
DB Gabe Jeudy-Lally's targeting appeal has been approved. He will be able to play in the first half against Notre Dame.
#BYUFootball
#BYUvsND
Ed Lamb on the fans Saturday night against Arizona State: "I probably have been to half a hundred, maybe 60 games on BYU's sideline as a player and coach. I've never heard it as wild as it was {Saturday night]. It was incredible."

BREAKING: Purdue 7-foot-3 center/forward Matt Haarms has announced he is committing to

When USA takes on England in the World Cup today, remember, it’s basically a rematch of BYU vs. Notre Dame in football.
This clip from Cowherd will always be a classic.
The impact of Power 5 inclusion for
#BYU
is already making an impact on the recruiting trail.
Notable commits since Big 12 invite:
-OT Kingsley Suamataia (5-star)
-WR Cody Hagen (4-star)
-DL Aisea Moa (4-star)
#BYUFootball
Who would have thought a year ago, that in 2020
#BYU
vs. Coastal Carolina would be a bigger game than Alabama-LSU?
2020 is wild y'all.

@kslsports
Tennessee just defeated Missouri. Vols move to 6-5 on the season and are bowl eligible.
#BYU
now has five wins this season against teams with winning records. Tied for 2nd nationally behind only LSU and Ohio State (6).

AD Tom Holmoe on Coastal Carolina game: "We’re grateful that this game between our two teams could be put together in such a timely fashion. It's good to have a partner like ESPN that can help put together such a meaningful game at this point of the season.”
@kslsports
Dwyane Wade on his visit to BYU basketball: “One thing I’m proud of and I’m grateful for is that Danny Ainge cannot say that he’s the greatest player to come through BYU anymore because I walked through the halls.”

Mark Pope on the large showing from
#BYU
students for the exhibition game against Life Pacific:
“This might not be much of an exaggeration, this is probably more fans and a better gym environment than most of the schools in the old PAC-12 had in a regular season game.”
Incredible win for
#BYU
to take down a powerhouse program like North Carolina.
UNC is a 21-time champion in the NCAA Tournament. BYU roared back from down 0-3 to win 4-3.
Two wins away from a National Title.

Kevin Young has stated his
#BYU
program is going to be modeled after an NBA system.
From the on-court product to strength & conditioning and even the way they approach mental performance.
Before he's coached a game, players are buying into Young's vision.
Fascinating roster
