Yogi Roth

So fired up to launch my re-imagined podcast, Y-Option! Hope you come along for the ride as we explore college football through the lens of the West Coast.

@aaronpflugrad Congrats!!!

Favorite March Madness memory from your childhood? Let's all smile and laugh on this thread. I'll start: getting allowed to miss school, go to our buddies house and watch games while eating too much candy, pizza and random food (shout out Nutty Buddy's). At halftime playing 2v2 while calling out who was going to be Duke, UNC, Syracuse, Pitt or Georgetown (shout out old Big East)...then lowering the hoop for a dunk contest that easily impacted the rim in a negative/positive way. Between games pumping 2-Pac until the house shook and talking smack to one another about which school we were going to go to. Also, we were 10. #MarchMadness

@MTillbilly @Huskers @HuskerFootball @yoptionfb @B1Gfootball @NBCSports Amen. Want to take our sons!

@YogiRoth @Huskers @HuskerFootball @yoptionfb @B1Gfootball @NBCSports One of my favorite road trips, for sure!

This is one of those places in college football… I grew up watching Tommy Frazier and Eric Crouch. I coached in this stadium with USC almost 20 years ago. The first time I came back to call a game here two years ago, I felt it. Every time you walk over to this place, you feel the aura of a true blue blood. The tunnel walk. The booth. The electricity. It all hits you at once. Like I said, we're not even in April, but this walk from the Historic Haymarket got me fired up. There are a handful of places in college football that are just different. Nebraska is one of them.

@trailblazerphan @Huskers @HuskerFootball @yoptionfb @B1Gfootball @NBCSports That was a powerful day from what I recall too. 💐 🏈

@YogiRoth @Huskers @HuskerFootball @yoptionfb @B1Gfootball @NBCSports Didn't like the outcome (Thanks Helf!), but this is where I saw Herbert live (in warmups) for the first time and thought: WHY ISN'T THIS GUY STARTING? What a beautiful ball he threw compared to Prukop. Fans were the best, atmosphere was awesome. Great experience 10/10.

I got a firsthand look at what Nebraska is building this spring in Lincoln. From the way Anthony Colandrea moves to a brand new defensive staff that brought a level of intensity and physicality that was hard to ignore. No wasted movement. No wasted reps. Just in a relentless pursuit of a competitive edge. I’m not ready to put anything in pen yet. But Nebraska is giving me a lot to think about.

Absolutely loved the book American Kings by @SethWickersham - was able to talk to him today on my podcast, @yoptionfb - stoked to share it in the coming weeks. If you love QBs, you'll love his book. cc: @Elite11

@AdamBreneman81 Thanks man!

Great advice & lessons

I hope quarterbacks were watching figure skating this winter. Alysa Liu became the first U.S. figure skater to win a women's individual Olympic gold medal since 2002. Her secret? Walking away from the sport at 16 to find her joy again. And within her path are lessons for every QB competing on a grand stage. She reminded all of us that high performance and well-being aren't opposites—they’re both priorities for an athlete looking for sustained success. So to the QBs out there: stop trying to prove others wrong and only focus on proving yourself right.

@nickdaschel Well said

Wayne Tinkle took out a half-page ad in the Sunday Oregonian, thanking Oregon State fans for the experience and wishing incoming MBB coach Justin Joyner good luck. Class to the end.

The elite cultures/teams are going to train the mind as much, if not more then the body and craft. rollingstone.com/culture-counci… Big thanks to an all time thought leader, @kckatalyst for passing it along. 💫❤️ @yoptionfb

Grateful for the notes this week around the @CCignettiIU @IndianaFootball interview that @RhettNFL and I did.

@ManOfFocus_ Chase What Matters

As a man, what is your personal philosophy? (In 3 words or less)

@RhettNFL and I sat down with Indiana head football coach Curt Cignetti for an exclusive interview on THE PROCESS, a limited series within @yoptionfb Tune in to hear Coach Cignetti on celebrating a national title, raising the standard, and the lessons his father passed down that still drive him today.

I filmed every workout … for 8 years I use this strategy in every aspect of life: sending paintings to critics, recording myself before public speaking, etc. Self-review makes growth a habit:

Check out this track record ⬇️ 2015 — Lennie Williams Jr. — Conference Freshman of the Year 2016 — Lennie Williams Jr. — 2nd Team All-Conference 2017 — Davis Cheek — Conference Offensive Rookie of the Year 2018 — Davis Cheek — Injured mid-season after 4-1 start 2019 — Ben DiNucci — Conference Offensive Player of the Year 2021 — Cole Johnson — Conference Offensive Player of the Year 2022 — Todd Centeio — Conference Offensive Player of the Year 2023 — Jordan McCloud — Conference Player of the Year 2024 — Kurtis Rourke — Second Team All-Conference 2025 — Fernando Mendoza — Heisman Winner 2026 — Josh Hoover — ⁇ Now take a look at how many were transfer starters. That’s an impressive run. Also, we had to cut it out to keep this dialed in, but just because I’m a huge fan of the dude, I got to mention Coach Cig gave some love to @Kurtis_rourke7 in this section of the podcast as well. Just a stud. Another reason to listen to the full thing with @RhettNFL and I on the latest episode of THE PROCESS, a limited series within @yoptionfb fueled by our founding sponsor @76 keeping you on the Go GO GO so you never miss a beat.

@Hoosier_Review Thanks for sharing!

Yogi Roth and Rhett Lewis interview Curt Cignetti #iufb Rhett: How often have you used the phrase 'National Champions' with your team right now? Cignetti: Zero [smiles] Y-Option with Yogi Roth full interview below 👇

Anybody who knows even a little about Coach Cignetti, knows he’s about The Process. I was pretty certain he was going to say the Hoosiers are coming in with the same approach for 2026, so @RhettNFL and I came in ready with this story. We loved his response. If there was a better way to do it, you would’ve been doing it all along. Keep the principles the same. Keep improving the process. Winning behaviors are easy to explain. Doesn’t mean they’re easy to execute.
