In this packed Y’s Guys episode, hosts Dave McCann and Brian Logan break down BYU’s incredible basketball season, recap the thrilling Alumni Football Game, and welcome two standout guests—Austin Collie and Keoni Thiim. The show opens with a reflection on BYU’s Sweet 16 finish in Kevin Young’s debut season, highlighted by a 26-10 record, a third-place Big 12 finish, and memorable wins over Wisconsin and Iowa State. Though BYU’s season ended in a tough loss to Alabama—who broke an NCAA record with 25 three-pointers—the tone remains celebratory as the hosts look back on favorite moments from the season and look ahead to the future of BYU hoops.
Former BYU receiver and Team Navy captain Austin Collie joins to discuss the Alumni Game’s last-second win, quarterbacking alongside Charlie Peterson, and how the experience rekindles the competitive spirit of former players. Collie, now a new dad, also shares advice for BYU quarterbacks and receivers heading into the offseason, emphasizing the importance of earning trust through consistency, work ethic, and reliability—lessons he learned from playing with Max Hall, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady.
Later, BYU volleyball standout Keoni Thiim joins in studio to talk about his electrifying impact on the court. With a 45-inch vertical and dynamic energy, Thiim discusses what it’s like to play in the Smith Fieldhouse, how he transferred from Hawaii, and the deep family connections that led him to BYU—including his grandfather Mike Wilton, UH’s all-time winningest coach. He previews this week’s match against Stanford and reflects on BYU’s unique culture and the motivation he draws from Cougar fans. The show wraps with fun rapid-fire questions and a preview of next week’s guests, including Johnny Harline.
