Dave and Blaine outline Blaine's three goals for Bear this spring, discuss the impact of 33 newcomers, and debate how much time backup quarterback Enoch Watson should receive during the five-week session.On the hardwood, BYU continues to climb at exactly the right time. The Cougars moved up to No. 19 in the AP Poll and sit at No. 19 in the NET rankings with CBS projecting them as a 5-seed. AJ Dybantsa delivered one of the biggest weeks in program history — scoring 35 at Arizona and 29 against No. 6 Iowa State while breaking Danny Ainge's freshman scoring record. He was named Big 12 Player of the Week, Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, Dick Vitale's “Star of the Week,” and Field of 68 National Player of the Week.Leslie Graff joins live from Massachusetts to preview a BYU Alumni watch party in Boston benefiting AJ's elementary school in Brockton.

It's President's Day and Y's Guys delivers one of the most consequential shows of the season. With Richie Saunders lost for the year after tearing his ACL just 45 seconds into Saturday's game, BYU basketball faces a defining stretch. Dave McCann and Brian Logan (in for Blaine Fowler) break down what this means for the Cougars heading into a massive road test at Arizona and a home showdown with Iowa State. Later in the show, newly retired jersey honoree Jimmer Fredette joins live to reflect on his rafters moment — and to offer insight on how a team survives losing a key player late in the season.On the football side, serious developments surround former receiver Parker Kingston, and the program now turns its attention to what the receivers room looks like moving forward. The show carefully follows its standard protocol: allowing the legal process to unfold without speculation while analyzing roster implications. BYUtv analyst David Nixon joins to discuss spring practice goals, defensive staff changes, NFL Combine invitees Chase Roberts and Jack Kelly, and what a Kelly Poppinga-led defense might look and feel like.The Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week honors Rob Wright III, who exploded for 30 points at Baylor and followed it up with a 39-point masterpiece against Colorado — carrying the Cougars with Saunders sidelined. Meanwhile, AJ Dybantsa continues his historic freshman campaign, closing in on Danny Ainge's freshman scoring record as BYU remains firmly in the NCAA Tournament picture despite one of the toughest remaining schedules in the country.Campus Notes highlight national track and field dominance — including Riley Chamberlain's NCAA mile record — strong performances in volleyball, baseball, tennis, and golf, and the release of BYU women's soccer's Big 12 schedule. With powerful interviews, heartfelt tributes to Patti Edwards, and honest discussion about navigating adversity, the February 16 show blends emotion, accountability, and championship-level analysis.#BYUSports #GoCougs #Ysguys #BYUBasketball #BYUFootball #Big12 #JimmerFredette #RobWrightIII #AJDybantsa #CougarNation #LDS #BYU Hosted on Acast.

0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces panel and dedicates show #223 to Jaren Jackson Jr, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year. 1:17 ... Dave's former team, the Clippers have played well the past month but still became sellers at the deadline ... what was their plan? 2:55 ... The Memphis Grizzlies sent Jaren Jackson Jr to the Utah Jazz in a curious move.  Is there any sense to this move and some other recent moves like trading Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane? 6:26 ... Dave worked with Danny Ainge in Boston where he pulled off a trade for Ray Allen that helped the Celtics acquire Kevin Garnett and win a title.  Can he pull off a similar trick in Utah? 8:52 ... Utah basically tanked a winnable game last weekend against Orlando ... was it a bad look for the league that needs to be addressed? 10:55 ... Will Jazz coach Will Hardy start feeling the pressure next year with a better group of players? 11:45 ... The Washington Wizards seem to be moving away from their young players by acquiring veterans like Trae Young, Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, and some others.  Will it stifle the progress their young guys were making? 14:34 ... The Wizards seem like a rudderless ship but Dave feels their new GM Michael Winger is smart and there may be subsequent steps involving the guys they acquired. 15:54 ... What about the Celtics trading Anfrenee Simons and getting back Nik Vucevich?  Dave loves the deal for Boston.  Dave also feels like Brad Stevens has done amazing work in making smart moves while keeping the team in good financial shape. 18:27 ... Payton Pritchard is back to his 6th man role with the departure of Simons.  Dave loves this role for him because Pritchard proved he could start in the league and he'll have lots of freedom on the second unit. 20:06 ... Jonathan Kuminga was traded from Golden State to Atlanta with Kristaps Porzingis going to the Warriors ... how does this affect their playoff chances? 21:30 ... How does Kuminga fit in in Atlanta? 23:22 ... What does Giannis Antetokounmpo's future look like?  Is he staying in Milwaukee for the long haul? 24:43 ... Expect to see Giannis in Milwaukee at the start of next season.  Giannis is very loyal.  Dave compares him to what Kevin Garnett went through in Minnesota. 26:09 ... Orlando was quiet at the trade deadline.  They're a well coached team with a good roster but they should be better. 27:16 ... Fun topics to cloe the show... how serious are the Philadelphia 76ers as contenders in the east? 28:27 ... The Charlotte Hornets have been on fire ... do they have a chance to make the postseason? 29:48 ... Dave feels Sacramento is the opposite of the Hornets ... they haven't been to the Finals since 1951 and the owner keeps firing good coaches.  No reason for excitement in SacTown. 32:13 ... The Bulls have made a bunch of trades and didn't get any first round picks while some of their guys made contributions elsewhere.  They never seem to have a breakout season but it's hard to see what direction they're moving in. 33:59 ... Injuries have been a problem across the league and it's making some good players ineligible for postseason awards due to the 65 game rule.  Can anything be done? 36:25 ... Is there anything about the style of play that is causing injuries to occur more frequently?  Dave cites some examples of random injuries 38:46 ... LeBron James needs to play every game the rest of the way since he would need to do that to reach 65 games played.  If he does it, is that good for the team?  Dave transitions into a fun story about how he once played just 5 seconds in a game, and went into that game at the 47:55 mark. 43:49 ... Can the Spurs be a serious contender?  Dave feels like they can and also ticks off some other teams he feels can win it all. 46:49 ... Ross wraps things up and closes out the show.   TRT 47:21                   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With Blaine Fowler on BYUtv pregame duty, Dave McCann is joined by Brian Logan for a news-packed show covering football, basketball, and nearly every BYU sport on campus. The hosts open with the 2026 BYU football schedule, game-by-game win projections, and a discussion of BYU finishing No. 11 in the final AP Top 25, its highest season-ending ranking since 2020.Dave and Brian dive deep into what finishing No. 11 could mean for BYU's 2026 preseason ranking, noting that many of the Cougars' greatest seasons began unranked. Early preseason projections already have BYU hovering between No. 8 and No. 13, fueling optimism that the Cougars could start the year nationally ranked for the first time in over a decade. The conversation also touches on major national storylines, including the College Football Playoff remaining at 12 teams, the Big 12 Championship moving to a prime-time Friday night slot, and the NCAA allowing commercial jersey patches starting August 1.Basketball dominates the middle of the show as BYU enters the night 17–2, fresh off a dominant rivalry win over Utah in which AJ Dybantsa scored a historic 43 points, breaking Danny Ainge's freshman scoring record and tying Jimmer Fredette for the most points ever scored at the Marriott Center. The hosts preview the Arizona matchup, break down the freshman phenom showdown between Dybantsa and Koa Peat, and reflect on BYU's rare history against No. 1 teams. Dybantsa's monster week earns him Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, his fourth such honor, as Dave declares, “We are watching someone special.”The show closes with extensive Campus Notes across BYU athletics, including men's and women's basketball, volleyball, track and field, golf, gymnastics, softball, and baseball. A featured interview with Travis Kimball, co-founder of Quick Quack Car Wash, welcomes a new Y's Guys sponsor, while historic “On This Day” moments, birthdays, and a Kobe Bryant quote provide a fitting lead-in to tipoff. With momentum building across multiple sports and a sold-out Marriott Center buzzing, the January 26 episode captures BYU athletics at a peak moment. Hosted on Acast.
