BYU’s showmanship is second to none. BYU consistently entertains and provides a fun/friendly atmosphere. Everything from the announcers, dance team, Cosmo stunts, and even the mid-game crowd shenanigans are fun and engaging. Growing up in PAC-12 territory I found every game, outside of the game itself, was usually dry and stale. I can only watch the Duck do so many push ups before I start asking “what else does he do?” Provo hospitality has also definitely turned around
That clip and this video have officially made me a Drake Toll fan. I've been a member of the LDS Church all of my life. We teach being kind to others, that we are better than no one, that we are all brothers and sisters, trying to welcome people with open arms. We don't always succeed, but we try. Yet we are used to people hating us, because we believe differently, we don't drink, we don't do sex before marriage, we have a lot of beliefs which some people find offensive, blasphemous, or strange. Genuinely, we are used to people being biased against us before we even do anything. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone say nice things. You will have to go a long way to find a more grateful crew than ours, when you speak nicely about us. It might seem a little weird, but this genuinely gets me emotional. Thank you.
I have been attending games now for 49 Years. I go for the football. Huge fan win or lose. However in the past few years my wife has become a regular because the atmosphere is so entertaining like you said. A win win for everyone.
Appreciate the report. The fire dancers are incredible. I need to go back to my alma mater more regularly. I liked seeing you in the pregame ritual. You were a riot! Loved the outfit!!! And the jab at the U of Utah!
Glad you enjoyed Cougar hospitality. I was there for the Ty Detmer era and I love to go back and cheer for the white and blue. I was at the Illinois game and I really appreciated how they kept the energy up through the whole game, especially during the TV breaks.
Best video yet. You’re taller than I expected. Also I saw you on BYUtv and wasn’t sure if I was seeing YOU. I was shocked. Congrats for being invited out to BYUSN and thanks for coming out
They have really done a nice job with the game day (and especially game night) experience. 25+ years ago when I was there it was nowhere near this energy level. Thanks Drake we appreciate you.
Ya know I wonder if independence was good for us in this way. It gave us a chance to really dig into ourselves and figure out how to become the best that we could on our own. Developing a good game day experience, a quality coach and team, and giving us a chip on our shoulder saying that we’re willing to put ourselves out there without the support of the conference. The big12 has just been complementary of that, allowing the atmosphere to grow into the conference, rather than pigeonholing us into a specific idea and of how to do college athletics. Super cool
The Utah fans are amazing (Utah and BYU). Both bases are what fill Utah Jazz games and they show up every year for games. The fan base in the state of Utah is amazing.
ND would have to be a 3-4 loss team for both acc and big xii to get 2 in. I’m pretty certain sec gets 4 and big10 gets 3 teams in. Add G5 team and We @ 8. That leaves 4 spots, 2 each for Big xii and acc. Or even if ND is a 11-1, they’re considered an ACC team Right? So acc gets their champion In. The key is one of the power 2 Gets 3 in most likely would be big 10. OSU PSU and Oregon. I think Michigan will be a 3-4 Loss team. Probably between Michigan and PSU for the 3rd spot. Sec gets in Alabama Georgia Ole Miss and another team w/ 3-4 losses maybe LSU or an Auburn. If it falls this way, the XII should get 2 in…🤞🏼
Hmm! Free food to win over fans with whoever BYU plays at home. Maybe, the Big 12 could expand their fan reach with free food at home games as an investment in future fan engagement! What do you think?
What happened to the clean cut awesome football players from BYU, BYU will only win another National Championship if they recruit players from Texas and especially those players from deep East Texas
He has found that his BYU videos do really well on UA-cam because he is the only person that gets on camera and talks positively about BYU. All of their fans they flock to his content so they can have their views validated through confirmation bias.
@@_Doodle-bob Haha! Definitely not the only one. ua-cam.com/video/tGNbe06H1L0/v-deo.htmlsi=7ua1rGiBIKB1ZitO Maybe take a break during basketball season… the national parks are great in the off season, good way to find yourself and let go of negative baggage.
BYU is a private institution backed by a multi billion dollar media company. It’s no surprise they put on such a great show and are second to none. I’m glad you experienced such great hospitality. Those who don’t share their views or lifestyle are often not treated half as well.
Simply not true, most fans who visit LES, leave with tons of hospitality given, I mean byu gives visiting fans free ice cream, how is that even remotely close to treating opposing views “bad”
Please, tell me more about how I should feel about my own experiences with people of the religion that BYU is the flagship school for. BYU is a religious institution. And I’m talking about my dealings and interactions being someone that is “different” from that religion.
@@goaliegrizz8925 Ha. My experience as a child being non morning and being told me and my family were all going to go to hell. Being told this on a very regular basis mind you. Being invited to a service as a teenager and seeing kids I knew smoked weed and a guy that bragged about doing his girlfriend on the 50 yard line but was also blessing your sacrament. Watching my buddy come home early from his mission because of anxiety and then being cast out by the community. Finding out a girl I went to high school with killed herself because of an abusive husband who was also in a leadership position in the church. I can go on.

That rootbeer shotgunning was too funny. Byu knows how to laugh at its quirks. Well done!
"Coldest chocolate milk in the conference." You know its right!
😂😂😂...darn straight...😉
That was awesome.
Coincidentally, I am a Catholic running a BYU CFB 25 dynasty.
Go Cougs!
Let’s go haha. I’ll run Notre Dame now in honor
@@JCsouthernmiss Rock!
BYU shows that having fun and being good are NOT mutually exclusive.
You’re one of us Drake, thanks for your kind words and for visiting Provo. Arizona Cougar fan
Drake Toll… call me a big time new fan!!! Love your energy! You are super talented! Wish you nothing but success!!

I am happy that you enjoyed yourself. BYU alumni from The Steve Young Jim McMahon era
Me too!!!

It for sure is LES but we go to a couple away games every year and BYU fans bring that energy, that kindness and excitement to every stadium we visit.
The best game day in Provo yet!
BYU loves locked on Big12!

BYU’s experience is unmatched. Top 10 in the country
Glad you enjoyed Cougar hospitality. I was there for the Ty Detmer era and I love to go back and cheer for the white and blue. I was at the Illinois game and I really appreciated how they kept the energy up through the whole game, especially during the TV breaks.
It is a unique atmosphere. Being nice is more important than the game…although we always want to win.
This is awesome!
BYU does everything top drawer.

Good to see you there and having fun!
Loved watching you on the BYUSN pregame show, Drake!
Your best line on the BYU pre-game show: "utah didn't impress". Everyone except the blinded red agrees.
BYU was sensational! Thanks for the support!
Just subbed. Great content!

Drake you are a class act. Love your podcast!
So good!!!! 😂
Drake, you da man. You’re a natural at what you do. Do you still think BYU loses 4 home games this year?
Go Cougs!
Told ya so!! K-State goes down.
Im starting to really enjoy your shows Drake!! Thx for that!!! (BYU FAN)
This was too fun lol
The Utah fans are amazing (Utah and BYU). Both bases are what fill Utah Jazz games and they show up every year for games. The fan base in the state of Utah is amazing.
nah, Ute fans suck
Go Utes! Great vid Drake, that was hilarious.
one of us, one of us, one of us.....
you the man
We love you drake!

Let’s Go!!! You get it!!!
❤❤❤
Go Cougs!!
Bro you cooked on the set in Provo
We 💙 Drake C
The time for you to come to Utah was during the Holy War. This was your week to visit Houston. C'mon dude
We gave the same treatment to Robbie Triano - and he ABANDONED us!
What a Homer.
How tall are you?

Gets 3 in most likely would be big 10. OSU PSU and Oregon. I think Michigan will be a 3-4
Loss team. Probably between Michigan and PSU for the 3rd spot. Sec gets in Alabama Georgia Ole Miss and another team w/ 3-4 losses maybe LSU or an Auburn. If it falls this way, the XII should get 2 in…🤞🏼
Dissing Utah as a new entrant is a cold move, especially when they were up 23-0 before the starting QB went out. But u do u boo boo. 😂
Dude, I need that hoodie. Where can I find it?
Haha... Still shoulders deep for the team down south eh Drake. Hilarious.
BYU loves drake
Ute fans are PISSED that you had fun at BYU
Hmm! Free food to win over fans with whoever BYU plays at home. Maybe, the Big 12 could expand their fan reach with free food at home games as an investment in future fan engagement! What do you think?

Can we trade Jarom for Drake????
