Former BYU linebacker and six-year NFL veteran Bryan Kehl joined to give his Big 12 preseason top five (BYU #1, Texas Tech #2, Houston #3, Arizona #4, TCU #5) and discussed four-star WR Blake Wong's commitment to BYU over Ohio State and Oregon.</p><p><br></p><p>Steeplechase national champion Taylor Lovell joined in studio to recount her dramatic win at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene — a five-and-a-half-second victory run on a shift in mindset toward gratitude and joy in the process. Campus notes covered BYU's #25 Learfield Cup finish (tops in the Big 12), new NCAA five-in-five eligibility rules, Jen Rockwood's pending retirement as BYU's only-ever soccer coach, and BYU alum Brian Rolapp becoming the next PGA Tour commissioner. The show closed with entertaining BYU superfan segments featuring Margie Mettenet — including her story of giving Bear Bachmeier an airport ride — and David Holt via Zoom from Houston.</p><p><br></p><p>#BYUCougars #BYUSports #YsGuys #WiseGuys #AJDybantsa #NBADraft2026 #BYUBasketball #RichieSaunders #BYUFootball #Big12Football #Big12Preview #TaylorLovell #Steeplechase #NCAATrackAndField #BlakeWong #BYURecruiting #CadeUluave #BryanKehl #CougarNation #StadiumOfFire #LDS&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps (approximate):</p><p>0:03:40 – Show Intro &amp; Stadium of Fire Preview</p><p>0:07:47 – AJ Dybantsa Goes #1 Overall to Washington</p><p>0:12:36 – Will Voigt Leaves BYU for Boise State</p><p>0:14:50 – AJ's $69M Rookie Contract</p><p>0:16:31 – Richie Saunders: 32nd Overall to Memphis Despite Torn ACL</p><p>0:19:03 – Vegas Summer League Schedule: AJ &amp; Keba Keita</p><p>0:20:43 – Athlon Big 12 Preseason All-Team Picks</p><p>0:21:40 – Blake Wong Commits to BYU Over Ohio State &amp; Oregon</p><p>0:24:06 – BYU's Incredible Winning Streaks</p><p>0:28:00 – Bryan Kehl Interview</p><p>0:43:29 – Bryan Kehl's Big 12 Top 5 Rankings</p><p>0:50:40 – AJ Dybantsa: Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week</p><p>0:52:18 – Taylor Lovell: NCAA Steeplechase National Champion</p><p>1:12:44 – Campus Notes: NCAA Eligibility, Jen Rockwood &amp; More</p><p>1:17:56 – BYU Superfan Margie Mettenet &amp; the Bear Bachmeier Airport Story</p><p>1:34:50 – BYU Superfan David Holt from Houston</p>","author_name":"Dave McCann & Blaine Fowler"}
