(AP Photo/Rick Scuteri)APBy Matt Connolly | mconnolly@pennlive.comFOX Sports analyst Robert Griffin III shared a wild anecdote earlier this month during the BYU vs. Arizona Big 12 showdown.Griffin said during the game that BYU star quarterback Bear Bachmeier told him his family sometimes eats dinner naked.The story from Griffin came in the fourth quarter with BYU leading 28-17.“He told us a story about why he lost the 15 pounds this offseason. And it really stems from his dad, him taking his shirt off at the dinner table and his dad saying he was fat,” Griffin said. “So he got fat-shamed into losing the weight. But it’s been better for him.“He told us that at the dinners, you know, sometimes they just take their clothes off. And they walk around naked. … I don’t think anybody listening right now really kind of does that. But the Bachmeiers, for some reason, that’s just the way they roll."Bachmeier, who has 642 passing yards, 64 rushing yards and eight total touchdowns, has not held a press conference since Griffin’s quote went viral.A sophomore, Bachmeier has helped BYU to a 3-0 start to the season and a No. 9 ranking.Bachmeier’s brother, Tiger Bachmeier, is also on the BYU team.“They like to have fun, they’re rowdy,” Griffin continued. “He’s got brothers, Hank and Tiger. When you’ve got a Tiger and a Bear on the same team it’s going to get wild in the jungle.”Matt Connolly is a Sports Trending Reporter for PennLive, writing about the NFL, college sports and other topics.
