Controversial weekend in CFB & BYU headed to Pop-Tarts Bowl!
Dec 900:39:31Tap to summarizeThree teams are aiming for two spots. The math shows that only two of the three will get a place, and one will be unhappy. The gravity of this situation is remarkable. Notre Dame got the wrong end of the deal Sunday morning as they and BYU are left out of the Playoff. Once again, ESPN got its way (as it so often does ;). Unfortunately, BYU lost its Big 12 Championship Game to Texas Tech. However, their foundation is set, and their future is bright.BYU Football will play Georgia Tech in the Pop-Tarts Bowl (Orlando, FL) after Notre Dame once again weaseled out of playing the Cougars. It’s not the first time they’ve done so, but it is a bold statement to stand up to ESPN. The controversy has never been this large in College Football as it was this weekend. Stay tuned for changes to College Football in my upcoming podcasts and hear my recommendations for the sport. #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

Transcribe →BYU defeats TCU 44-13 & What’s next for the Cougs?
Nov 2100:33:03Tap to summarizeLet me preface by saying good luck to a road team playing a night game at Lavell Edwards Stadium. BYU is often called the “Vampire Cougs” for a reason – they win home games. TCU was the latest victim on Saturday night, as the Cougs outplayed them. It was BYU’s most complete game of the year – all three facets of the game (Offense, Defense, Special Teams) were red-hot. BYU looks to carry its momentum in a big road game vs Cincinnati. Although the CFP Committee disrespects them, BYU still controls its own destiny. Winning out would earn them a Big 12 championship, which would secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. The playoff race is a mess following Oklahoma’s upset of #4 Alabama. Many teams are on the bubble, hoping for an at-large bid. Men’s Hoops plays Wisconsin in the Delta Center Friday afternoon – It’s a rematch of the March Madness last year! Listen to this episode for my takeaways from BYU Football and how they can finish strong. #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

Oct 3100:28:34Tap to summarizeHow ‘bout them Cougs? After starting off the season off of everybody’s radars, the Cougs are now 8-0 and rolling into a bye week. It feels like every time BYU is down on the road, they find a way to come back and win. Kalani Sitake’s winning culture has taken root in Provo and doesn’t appear to be over anytime soon. True Freshman Bear Bachmeier put together his best game of the season on Saturday. He did so without star running back LJ Martin, and in a hostile environment in Ames, Iowa.

Transcribe →#15 BYU beats #23 Utah in the Holy War!
Oct 2100:43:11Tap to summarizeLet me tell you a story about two football teams. Separated by just 42 miles, they are highly competitive. Although they don’t like to admit it, they are very similar in many ways. Each time they battle, it’s a close game. The fanbases behind these two teams hate each other. The “Team down south” had lost nine straight games head-to-head until they broke that streak in 2021. Now, imagine in 2025, Big Noon Kickoff takes its show to Provo as if the tensions weren’t high enough. BYU is the winning team on a 3-game win streak with official bragging rights for another year. It’s that time of year – the Holy War! another year. It’s that time of year – the Holy War! BYU won 24-21 in a thriller Saturday night to improve to 7-0 and take 1st place in the Big 12. The game was huge in many ways, along with Big Noon Kickoff bringing their show to Provo beginning at 6:30 AM! It was a dream day for blue bleeding cougars fans as they got to rush the field to celebrate. Texas Tech lost at Arizona State, giving BYU the #1 spot in the Big 12. Men’s Basketball is playing exhibition games as well! The World Series begins Friday night between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. Listen to this episode for an in-depth celebration and summary of BYU’s rivalry win, and how I think they’ll do at Iowa State this weekend. #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008
Transcribe →BYU wins 2OT Thriller, Epic Holy War approaches!
Oct 1600:31:32Tap to summarizeIn a game where BYU was supposed to lose, they refused to go down. Bear Bachmeier led a fourth-quarter Cougar comeback to force overtime! He looked like a true freshman, but redeemed himself late in the game. They made the plays they had to win, and came back down double digits in the fourth quarter for the first time since 2015. They improve to 6-0 and now face their toughest opponent yet, who happens to be their archrival, the Utah Utes. There is so much history and bad blood between the “team up north” and the “team down south”. It is a rivalry dating back to 1922, marked by countless one-score games and wild finishes. BYU has won the last two and looks to make it three this Saturday! This game will award the winner an inside track to the #2 seed in the Big 12 Championship race. As if the tensions weren’t high enough, FOX Big Noon Kickoff is taking its show to Provo! Listen to this episode for an extensive preview of the Holy War! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008
Transcribe →#18 BYU now 5-0, Difficult Big 12 stretch awaits
Oct 1100:20:56Tap to summarizeMany teams fly under the radar, but few do it as well as BYU. After starting the season as a “lost cause” due to Jake Retzlaff transferring, everyone crossed off the Cougars from their ballot. However, we’re six weeks in, and the Cougars show no sign of slowing from last year’s performances. They have exceeded expectations and got their true freshman QB, Bear Bachmeier, up to speed in just 5 games. He threw for 351 yards and ran for a touchdown in a dominant win over West Virginia, and they are looking to win this weekend in Tucson.The next six games for BYU will be difficult to navigate. Each of the opponents is currently 4-1 or better and showcasing talented quarterback play. The Big 12 race is still very much open, as per usual. Major upsets went down this week, with #7 Penn State losing to UCLA, which hadn’t led at any point in the season before the game. BYU Men’s Hoops had “Marriott Madness” last night to kick off the most anticipated season in program history.
