Love me some Hans. Excited for this and for all the doubters in his love for

Hans will be great,

I really enjoyed his film reviews of BYU games. If you watch it, it may change

You hit the nail on the head. Hans knows his x's and o's better than most.

Holy cow. Greg is starting to look a bit old

It'll be interesting to see how Hans changes his style.

I like when he breaks down film; I don’t always enjoy his ad-lib

RWaters

I shared similar thoughts but overall good hire

SwanSong

3/30/23 10:12am

Why hire a Ute?

3/30/23 9:56am

He never was. He was a college football radio personality for the state of Utah.

TarCoug

3/30/23 9:58am

CB has always had this wrong

TarCoug

3/30/23 9:58am

Simmer down, Hans

RH84025

3/30/23 9:59am

CB hates Hans for not being a homer and hate Criddle for being one

Ghost Pirate LeChuck

3/30/23 10:05am

Hans has done far more than simply "Not a homer." Dude went full Yewt.

Hans love college football and he loves the state of Utah.

Ok thanks Han's brother/mother/sister etc..

It isn’t bc he’s not a BYU homer. It’s bc he’s a Ute homer.

YOHONOMOTO

3/30/23 11:54am

Not really

Ghost Pirate LeChuck

3/30/23 12:00pm

Saying overly positive things about them does make him a Ute homer.

IDK... He probably deserves an award for his acting then.

BYUtka

3/30/23 10:05am

He’s replacing Riley Nelson?

BYU Fan

3/30/23 9:56am

Riley Nelson is stepping away. I really liked how Riley Nelson and Wrubell worked together.

Will he continue to be a goober fanboy of all things Utah?

Unibro

3/30/23 9:57am

Great Zeus. The radio broadcast will be unlistenable.

Sid Vicious

3/30/23 10:00am

Don’t like Utes in the booth.

3/30/23 10:00am

I really will miss Nelson. Although I was not a fan of him as the QB and I was

Hans is a good analyst, I enjoy his film commentary

This perfectly reflects my opinion on this new hire:

Atmospheric_Cougar

3/30/23 10:01am

I really like this addition. He has a ways to go in terms of being eloquent

CaliWG

3/30/23 10:02am

Not sure I ‘love’ it but agree with much of your sentiment

BYU'01

3/30/23 10:05am

Agreed. "Love" was an overstatement.

CaliWG

3/30/23 10:12am

Glad to have him. Does he give up other radio show?

AF_Puma

3/30/23 10:03am

It’s a side job. I think he keeps his day job.

BYU'01

3/30/23 10:06am

"honest and fair" huh?

SoBlueitHurts

3/30/23 12:30pm

I never listen

BYU'01

3/30/23 1:12pm

I think he's gotten a lot better. I like his film breakdowns on YouTube.

Cool. Welcome home

3/30/23 10:04am

He's the new color guy?

Yes. (Was Riley Nelson previously.)

He’s just kinda boring!!!

Huck

3/30/23 10:08am

It'll be good to have Hans back in house while he doesn't have 1280 pulling his

whirl

3/30/23 10:11am

Him and Greg together will be some quality entertainment.

westsidecoug

3/30/23 10:13am

There should be a bald joke in here somewhere.

Little Mac

3/30/23 10:14am

Wow, maybe he won’t be such a Ute homer anymore

BulldogCoug79

3/30/23 10:17am

Chris Hoke must clearly not have applied. Chris Hoke ALWAYS >>>> Hans

3/30/23 10:20am

Terrible news, luckily I hope to never be listening and always watching.

3/30/23 10:21am

I love Hans!! He will be excellent. He is a great Cougar alum!!!

Elvis

3/30/23 10:21am

I don't get it, why would a traitorous yewt join us and why would we hire him?

Mitty

3/30/23 10:34am

Does it give us a better chance at landing his son?

ugo1st

3/30/23 10:43am

Just looked at how big his son has gotten...jeez,16 years old and he's 6'5" 285

StutterOfTheCougar

3/30/23 10:56am

WOW, figured he would work for Utah before going back to BYU.

If you don't like knowledgeable techinical analysis you won't like Hans. Hans

Forzaitalia

3/30/23 11:32am

He’s great when talking X’s and O’s. He’s awful when cheerleading for Utah.

Hans Olson aka Simple Jack. I cant imagine that this will go well.

Stoked for this. Hans is a great dude despite all the hate so many of you throw

mendoncoug

3/30/23 1:07pm

We get it, many Utahns here still think the world of Whit, too

vegas guey

3/30/23 2:32pm

We'd all be better if if we could find someone who loves us as much as he loves

I think he'll be great.

ochobeeguy

3/30/23 1:15pm

Great hire.

3/30/23 1:38pm

Game changer. His film review was 2nd to none.

Does this mean Hans won't do his videos anymore?

From Bully Beatdown to BYU Radio. Quite a career path.

JupiterJones

Ha! I loved Hans on MTV. Still can't believe he got that gig 20 yrs ago
