Jason Shepherd has been a BYU sports fan for a long time and doesn't mind proclaiming his fandom over the airwaves. Cleon Wall feels a bit differently. The two talk about how Shepherd got into broadcasting, which young Cougar football players could see more playing time in the final home game, and the "grand experiment" known as BYU basketball.

14 University of Wyoming football players were kicked off their team in 1969 for wanting to protest BYU.

But first, former Cougar wide receiver Mitch Juergens knows a thing or two about losing streaks. Just like this year's team, he suffered through two four-game skids. Juergens talks about how his team handled it and if team-only meetings work.

Home and family is the theme of this episode. BYU Men's basketball point guard Rudi Williams explains why he has bounced around the country playing basketball before finally calling Provo his home. Davin and Creed Thompson remain close as brothers and cross country runners, but a family tragedy helped make them into the men and racers they are today. But first, what do you do when the Cougar faithful in the home stands scream for change? Former BYU QB and broadcaster Blaine Fowler has all the answers.

Former BYU linebacker David Nixon was worried. He thought the Cougar's defense would wear down against Baylor after BYU's rushing attack struggled to gain traction. Nixon explains why the Cougar defenders flourished, why he doesn't like hockey line substitutions, and his favorite stadium to play on the road.
