It’s Big 12 Championship Week on Y’s Guys, and Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler open the December 1 show with the biggest BYU Football buildup in more than a decade. After beating UCF 41–21 and finishing the regular season 11–1, BYU now faces Texas Tech in Arlington with a conference title — and potentially a Playoff berth — on the line. Behind Bear Bachmeier’s 289 passing yards, Parker Kingston’s breakout performance, and LJ Martin’s three touchdowns, the Cougars shook off a slow start from the second quarter on. The hosts review what worked, what didn’t (including two missed field goals), and how Blaine’s keys to victory held up.

The show takes a national look at the latest Big 12 standings, CFP projections, P4 championship weekend, and how BYU stacks up after an 11–1 season — their best record since 1996. With rumors swirling that Penn State is pursuing Kalani Sitake, Dave and Blaine dive into why coaches leave “dream jobs,” what BYU means to Kalani, and why Cougar fans should expect a motivated and locked-in staff heading into championship weekend.

This week’s two special guests bring history and fan energy. First, Ty Detmer joins on the 35th anniversary of winning the Heisman Trophy, sharing memories of hearing the announcement while poolside in Hawaii, celebrating with teammates, and reflecting on why the award still means so much to the BYU community. Later, Taggart Barron, BYU Alumni President in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, previews an enormous BYU tailgate, a community service project, and his keys to beating Texas Tech in the rematch.

Campus Notes highlight another massive week across BYU Athletics: Richie Saunders named the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week after winning the MVP of the ESPN Events Invitational; BYU Men’s Basketball improving to 6–1 with big wins over Miami and Dayton; Women’s Basketball going 7–1; Women’s Volleyball winning four straight including a victory over No. 23 Colorado; and Jane Hedengren and Coach Diljeet Taylor sweeping Mountain Region awards. The show closes with Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s Inspirational Quote of the Week, a CougarBoard Question, and a look ahead to Tom Holmoe’s appearance next Monday following the Big 12 Championship.
