KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper reacts to the Cougars landing at No. 15 in the 2026 US LBM Coaches Poll — their highest preseason coaches ranking in years and a significant jump from the No. 23 slot they occupied entering the 2025 season. BYU is the second-highest ranked Big 12 team behind No. 12 Texas Tech, with Utah slotting in at No. 21 and Houston at No. 24. Mitch breaks down what the ranking signals about national perception of the program after a 12-2 season, a Big 12 Championship Game appearance, and a Pop-Tarts Bowl victory — and whether No. 15 is too high, too low, or just right for a team that finished No. 12 in the final coaches poll a year ago. With the AP Top 25 preseason poll still two weeks away, Mitch discusses where BYU could land there given that composite projections have the Cougars around No. 13 nationally. He also examines what preseason poll positioning means for BYU's College Football Playoff math come November, and how Kalani Sitake's staff plans to manage the highest expectations in program history without letting them become a distraction. Then, as players report for fall camp meetings and equipment fittings today with on-field practices beginning Wednesday, Mitch spotlights the under-the-radar names he's most intrigued to watch during media observation periods this August: Siosiua Latu-Finau, Bott Mulitalo, Trevin Ostler, Devoux Tuataga, Maverick McManus, Adney Reid, TJ Johnson, Cole Shuman, Rayden Heintz, and Brody Laga. Also in this episode, Mitch goes on the recruiting trail to discuss the reclass announcement from five-star basketball recruit AJ Williams, who BYU has offered. Then, on the gridiron, Mitch sat down with Maple Mountain High star Uhila Wolfgramm to discuss his commitment to BYU and his goals for his upcoming senior year.

Fatal Shooting at Salt Lake City Meetinghouse The Story: A tragic shooting occurred in the parking lot of a meetinghouse on Redwood Road during a funeral, leaving two men dead and six wounded. Why it's first: It is a violent event on church property involving the death of members. It touches on issues of safety at houses of worship. Key Detail: The victims were part of Utah's Tongan community. The Tongan population in Utah is significant; per the 2020 Census, Utah has the largest Tongan population of any state, with over 18,000 residents identifying as Tongan alone or in combination with other races. Angle: Focus on the tragedy of violence interrupting a “celebration of life” and the community response. Funeral of President Jeffrey R. Holland & Leadership Changes The Story: Following President Holland’s passing in late 2025, his funeral is set, and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf has been named Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve. Why it's important: This is a major shift in the “ecclesiastical org chart.” With President Oaks now President of the Church and Holland passing, the leadership dynamic changes significantly. Visual Aid: Because the hierarchy has shifted rapidly (Nelson passing, then Holland passing), a visual aid helps the audience visualize the new seniority. “The Next Apostle” Speculation The Story: With the vacancy left by President Holland, there is speculation on who President Oaks will call next. Angle: Discuss the Op-Ed suggesting “history making” picks like a Black apostle or someone from a non-traditional background (like a sports coach, though that is unlikely). This is great engagement fodder for listeners. Dissolving the Temple Square Mission The Story: After 30 years, the all-female Temple Square Mission is ending. Sisters from surrounding missions will now rotate in. Why it matters: This is the end of a specific cultural era. The Temple Square sisters were a unique fixture of Church headquarters. Angle: The shift toward “hybrid” missionary work (tours + traditional proselytizing) and the hiring of paid guides to assist. 2026 Mission Leadership Assignments The Story: 188 new mission presidents and companions called; 55 newly created missions. Angle: The sheer volume of new missions indicates the growth or reorganization efforts previously announced by the late President Nelson. Love is Blind Villain “Disowned” The Story: Kacie McIntosh, a cast member on Season 9, claims her LDS family “shunned” her due to her appearance and discussion of sex on the show. Why it matters: This hits the intersection of pop culture and “faith crisis/family dynamics” that resonates with many listeners. Angle: The tension between reality TV fame and conservative religious family values. The “Mysterious” Youth Vote (Data Heavy) The Story: Young Latter-day Saints are identifying less as Republicans, though they still lean conservative on social issues. The Stats: 40% of LDS voters aged 18-29 identify as Republican. 35% identify as Democrat. 25% identify as Independent. Despite the shift in labels, 56% of older Gen Z/Young Millennial members still supported the Republican presidential candidate in 2024. BYU “Hot Mic” Moment The Story: BYU player Therrian Alexander III was caught swearing on a hot mic during the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Angle: A lighthearted but debated topic—the pressure on BYU athletes to represent the “Honor Code” perfectly on national TV versus the reality of high-stakes sports. Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt Update The Story: An update on the aftermath of the abuse case. Kevin Franke has remarried; Ruby is still in prison; Shari Franke has written a memoir. Why it matters: This story gripped the Mormon internet (and the world). The update provides closure on the family’s attempt to heal. The post Fatal Shooting – Dark Horse Candidate – AoN 1001 appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

In this Bonus Bri episode, Brian Beckner delivers a free preview of this week's Patreon-exclusive content—starting with one of the strangest and most unintentionally profound traditions in modern American sports: the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Joined by friend of the show and official Pop-Tarts Bowl Correspondent Zach Xavier, Brian breaks down the surreal pageantry, evolving lore, and outright ritual sacrifice of Pop-Tarts mascots—including toaster cremations, memorial jackets for fallen pastries, and a jacked “protein Pop-Tart” who refuses his destiny and escapes execution. But that's only the beginning. The episode takes a sharp turn into darker territory with a disturbing true story out of Austria: a mountain climber accused of manslaughter after allegedly leaving his exhausted, ill-equipped girlfriend to freeze to death near the summit of the country's highest peak. Brian unpacks the case, the prosecution's allegations, and what it says about responsibility, masculinity, and abandoning someone who trusted you with their life. Along the way, Brian riffs on: Why Pop-Tarts may be the straightest food ever invented The ethics of survival stories and cutting the rope The difference between “feeling bad” and being accountable The unspoken social contract of not leaving women vulnerable Bonnie Blue, Bali, and disrespecting national flags for clout The Monster Mash paradox (a song about a song that never existed) JonBenét Ramsey, new “evidence,” and why some mysteries never die This episode is funny, unhinged, uncomfortable, and very on-brand. Key Topics & Highlights The Pop-Tarts Bowl as the “People's National Championship” Mascot death count: now officially three Memorial ceremonies for previously toasted Pop-Tarts BYU vs. Georgia Tech (almost irrelevant, by design) Protein Pop-Tart with jacked arms escapes the toaster Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten The Austrian mountain climbing case and manslaughter charges Gross negligence vs. tragic accident Why some survival stories are defensible—and others aren't Masculinity, responsibility, and not abandoning people Bonnie Blue's Bali controversy and flag disrespect The Monster Mash as a cultural copy with no original JonBenét Ramsey updates and enduring skepticism Episode Segments / Rough Timestamps Note: Exact timestamps may vary depending on platform 00:00 – Bonus Bri intro & Patreon preview 03:00 – What exactly is the Pop-Tarts Bowl? 07:30 – Mascot lore, toaster deaths & memorial jackets 14:00 – Protein Pop-Tart escapes execution 20:00 – Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten 25:00 – Austrian mountain climber leaves girlfriend to die 38:00 – Survival ethics & masculinity 52:00 – Bonnie Blue, Bali & national disgrace 58:00 – Monster Mash theory 1:05:00 – JonBenét Ramsey updates 1:10:00 – Closing thoughts & Patreon plug Quotes from the Episode “The Pop-Tarts Bowl is the only championship with a confirmed death toll.” “Feeling bad isn't the same as doing the right thing.” “There are certain things you just don't do as a man—like leaving someone to die on a mountain.” Support the Show Bonus episodes available on Patreon:patreon.com/TheBallerLifestylePodcast Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts—it helps the show more than you think.

The College Football Playoff Quarterfinals begin tomorrow. For the lone game on New Year's Eve the country will turn its attention to the Cotton Bowl as #10 Miami takes on #2 Ohio State. The meeting is a rematch of a historic national championship game. Times have changed a bit since that meeting, as many of the players in this game had not been born for the previous matchup. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this clash of talent. Could the talent on Miami's roster be enough to keep up with Ohio State, or will the Buckeyes' defense be too much for the Hurricanes to handle? Then, the guys look at the final quarterfinal matchup that they have yet to discuss. #6 Ole Miss takes on #3 Georgia. This is a rematch as well, but this previous matchup was only a couple of months ago. Although the prior matchup was recent, much has changed with one of the programs as Ole Miss now has Pete Golding leading them rather than Lane Kiffin. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what kind of impact that will have on the game and if there is any way that Ole Miss can pull the upset.Then, the crew discusses a bit of college football news as a familiar face returns to the college ranks. Chip Kelly has been hired by Northwestern to be their offensive coordinator. Kelly is coming off of a 2024 national title run with Ohio State followed by a short run with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he was fired mid-season. He was the offensive coordinator on both of those staffs. The guys look at why this is a good hire for Northwestern and what else they need to focus on to be successful.Later, Godfrey asked and the Pop-Tarts Bowl delivered. After Godfrey made it very clear, a few episodes ago, that he wanted one of the care packages the Pop-Tarts Bowl was sending out, a package has arrived. Godfrey unboxes the multiple packages live and it's something you do not want to miss. Check out the show on YouTube or on the Yahoo Sports Network if you want to see what Godfrey got.Get ready for the CFP Quarterfinals with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Can Miami upset Ohio State?13:30 - Can Ole Miss and Pete Golding handle Georgia?29:20 - Northwestern hires Chip Kelly as OC41:51 - Pop-Tarts Bowl care package unboxing Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys are back to preview the Trojans' bowl game matchup against TCU in San Antonio and look at a wide array of college football, and USC-specific, topics after USC and Notre Dame mutually announced the discontinuation of their rivalry and high-profile Big Ten programs hired big-time coaches. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Shotgun railing on both Notre Dame and USC for not being able to come to a resolution that would have resulted in the continuation of their 100-year old rivalry that has previously taken a global war or global pandemic to keep it from being played. The podcasters then dive into the bevy of comments left on Spotify, answering questions and then ultimately having the randomizer select a winner for a Trader Joes gift card. They then jump into a number of news items since the last Helium Boys episode, including the possibility of USC having to look for a new defensive coordinator soon. They also look at the continuously evolving 2026 roster, discussing the latest transfer portal losses, NFL departures, re-signings announced by USC and the last group of players that have not had their future endeavors revealed After a break, the podcasters dive into a preview of the Alamo Bowl matchup against the Christian Horned Frogs of Texas, including the key storylines, players and matchups before predicting why the Trojans will win and why they will lose. The podcast duo also answer your mailbag questions discussing trench play, Biletnikoff statistics and the most memorable moments of the 2025 season. After some 'Take It or Leave It' questions for Shotgun, the episode concludes with Chris and Shotgun ranking the Pop Tarts that were participants in the People's National Championship that is also known at the Pop Tarts Bowl.

After the wild rants on the intolerable disrespect shown to one of our college football national treasures, the podcasters dive into 'Stock Up, Stock Down,' which they use as a jumping off point to discuss a variety of college football topics, including USC finishing with the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2026 recruiting cycle, the evolution of the college football bowl system and some familiar faces the Trojans have/will see. They also take an early look at the matchup between USC and TCU, who will meet in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on Dec. 30. After a break, the podcasters dive into some superlatives for the Trojans' No. 1-ranked 2026 recruiting class, including their picks for a Day 1 starter and favorite recruit as well as who will transform their body the most and who will be a star when it's all said and done. Chris and Shotgun follow with a dive into the players exiting the program, breaking down the future impact of the 11 players that have made it known they plan to enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens on Jan. 2. The podcast duo also answer your mailbag questions discussing basketball collapses, opt outs and Notre Dame scheduling. After some 'Take It or Leave It' questions for Shotgun, the episode concludes with Chris making Shotgun choose which bowl games to revive and which to keep dead.
