WEBVTT - Best of JMV 8/5/26 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.520 Ron Hatklinsky, who is the former Anderson coach in The 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:09.080 Great High School Basketball Coach, was coaching Edgewood when I 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.960 was in high school, and I needed to play for 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:16.239 somebody like that who would kick my ass because I 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.280 was just such a clownish wooss I was back on there. 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.320 That's a regret. I don't want to have any regrets, 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.120 but that's a regret I have. So maybe your dad 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.280 could have done that right, could have worked it turned 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.840 out differently. Joe could have coming from the same crowd 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.600 who cryings about Notre Dame schedule constantly. Can you imagine 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:40.680 sending that to me just now? I wonder was he seriously? 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.559 I need it? And I know a lot of you 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.960 probably evaluate things over the course of your life. I 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.200 do this all the time, and that was a defining moment. 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.000 Not that everybody around me at that time was not good. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.240 They were good people, but I was able to get 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.680 away with stuff, and I wish now that I I wasn't. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.400 Are the Andy Moore Auto Montiic group Potline. He is 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.240 the author of the biggest play in the history of 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.959 the Indianapolis Colts and a friend of this show. Marlon 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.600 Jackson joins us. How you doing, Pal, I'm good, Dane. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:13.240 How you doing? 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:13.399 Man? 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.120 It feels way too long. Did you look back on 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.240 your playing career on whatever level and think, Man, I'm 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.480 glad I was pushed in the fashion of which I was. 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.680 Oh, man, I was well. I was listening to you know, 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.280 as you're talking about life. You know, I don't have 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.640 to necessarily look back and think I wish I was pushing. 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.720 I mean I was pushed hard from an early age 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.560 just for my life circumstance period, right, Like you know, 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.800 I grew up with a lot of adversity within my household, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.800 within my community, so that that shaped my attitude, and 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.920 that shaped my mindset. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.960 As a competitor. So the playing field that was my outlet, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:51.720 right to. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.480 Let out everything that was pent up on the inside 0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.680 from having difficulties in everyday life and struggles, and that 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:05.000 became my outlet on the football field. But you know, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.040 and listening to everything you guys are talking about, adversity 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.040 is helpful in helping you grow. The only way you 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:18.679 actually really grow in life is through challenges and through adversities, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:23.080 is not through everything being perfect and everybody telling you 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.840 how great you are and. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.560 Not having any difficulties. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.800 That's not where growth really occurs in life. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.360 I so wish, looking back on it, that I was 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.600 challenged even more I do, And you know, you're kind 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.799 of like I talked to my kids about not having regrets, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.880 and that's one massive regret that I have that I 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.480 have to live with right now too. And maybe it's 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.000 easier to look in the review to see exactly who 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.360 you were, and I enjoy who I am right now, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.000 but I just wish that there would have been more 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.919 war that could have been squeezed out of me at 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.720 the time. And honestly, I don't I feel bad because 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.520 I kind of wood out on a lot of things 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.360 back then too, And I have a great deal of 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.960 admiration for those guys that were coach hard. They agree 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.280 to be coach hard, and then those that also coach 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:18.840 them hard. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.280 Yeah, that's that's it's always a fine line, but I've 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:23.720 been That's. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.200 A challenges in society now, is you know, parents being 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.160 okay with their kids being pushed and being coached hard, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.240 understanding that the ultimate goal is about growth and it's 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.360 not necessarily about their comfort level and where they are 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.200 right now, but where we would like them to be 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.320 and it's going to take some challenges and challenging moments 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:50.400 to actually help them get to that possibility that is 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:51.040 within them. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.200 So, Marla Jackson, who joins us on the Anymore Automotive group, hootline, 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.680 what is your thought on this coach team, not just 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.160 for what you've seen so far in camp, but for 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.520 the expectation. I mean, there are a lot of question 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.840 marks and really going into the season, there is a 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.960 lot of crossing your fingers and hoping. But what is 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.480 your expectation for this group as we view it right 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.360 now early stages of camp and Westfield. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.360 Well, I mean, the only thing that comes to my 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.920 mind when you pose that question is there's a lot 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.320 of potential, right And I said, there's a lot of 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.520 potential because of what we saw last year before the 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:35.880 injuries occurred, and having that perspective and seeing the current roster, 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:41.040 knowing that if we stay healthy, this could be a really, 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:45.280 really good team with Daniel Jones at quarterback, a strong 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.840 offensive line, Dalton Taylor at running back, Alec Pearce, Josh 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.680 Downs and others. Right, you know, there's a lot of 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.360 potential offense when you look at the defense and you 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.040 look at this. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.719 Young talented secondary. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.919 You look at the young guys along the defensive front 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.599 along with the veterans that are anchors up front, like 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.440 the Forest Butner and Grover, and then you look at 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.760 the young talent at the linebacker. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.760 Position and safety position. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.719 You see that there's a lot of potential, but it 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:23.800 is all predicated on do we stay healthy. That is 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.160 for me, that is the number one factor going into 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.440 this season is can the key players on this team 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.520 stay healthy? Can you keep Daniel Jones healthy? Can you 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:40.360 keep Jonathan Taylor healthy? Can you keep Alec Pearce healthy? 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.159 Like those are the critical things that you know as 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.160 this season unfolds, it is what I will watch. Can 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.200 you keep Sauce Gardner healthy? 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.320 Right? Can you keep Mooney Ward healthy? 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.400 Which is a big question mark when you speak about 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:54.920 a guy like. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.080 Him that has concussion issues. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.080 You know, football is a very physical sport and we 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:06.159 saw the potential on the customer being realized last season, 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.080 but then we saw the wheels fall off when the 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:10.239 injury started to occur. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.080 Marther Jackson with us, you are a valued member. As 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.279 I mentioned, you're the altar, the biggest player in the 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.120 history of the Indianapolis Colts. Of that cold secondary. How 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.479 do you view up and down this cold secondary. Maybe 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.640 compare that between the one you played with and the 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:33.320 expectations that you feel. Hopefully, when healthy, this group can 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:33.920 live up to. 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.160 Well, I mean the disguise the limit when I when 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:44.440 I look at this secondary on paper, I think, arguably, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.520 talent wise, one of the best secondaries in the National 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:49.280 Football League. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.000 When when you look at. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.400 The corners and then you look at Cam Binen as safety, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.520 but then when you look at you know, uh, the 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.320 young guy that we brought in on a l s 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.560 U is a A J. Halsey, And then you know, 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:10.920 if you look at Wally at nickelback, there's a lot 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.960 to be excited about. Wally is picking up right where 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.200 he left off in training camp last year. Is great 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.760 to see. Is great to see Sauce Gardner healthy because 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.560 we all know he's an all. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.080 Pro level player. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.040 But then you know, we know what Mooney Warter can 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.880 do when he's actually healthy, and then we know the 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.680 playmaking ability that Cam buying him has, So then you know, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:40.040 you add in AJ Halsey as a young talented safety 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.480 if he plays up to the level of his potential, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.080 the those starters in terms of the two corners, the nickelback, 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.200 the two safeties, I mean, arguably the best in the league. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.960 But then it comes into play. We all know that 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.679 at some point in time of the season that they're 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.320 going to uh be some guys that need to step up, 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:02.440 right the backups. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.880 So then it's about death. What does the. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.480 Death look like at secondary? We really won't find out 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.120 until we are tested, but when you look at the 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.360 front line, it is arguably one of the most talented 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.600 secondaries in the National Football League. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.080 You know, it's interesting too. And Mala Jackson joins us 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.160 On and Andy Moore aut aboutive group podline that we're 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.160 not going to find out a lot of things until 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.320 week number one against Baltimore, and that's why things get 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.760 thick schedule wise with this team quickly in the first 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.559 five weeks. You got to come correct or this is 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.160 going to be problematic for the remainder two. And I 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.800 think that's why you kind of look at this and 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.959 you wonder, you know, hopefully Daniel Jones is ready. We've 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.280 yet to talk about Alec Pierce. It maybe some edge 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:52.319 rushing potential consistently with Leatu Latu can be involved in this, 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.520 but a lot really has to come together early, and 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.440 this has not been a staple of this Colts team 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:05.199 recent history. Last year it was with injuries compromising things, 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.840 but prior to that not so much. 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:12.160 Yeah, well, we know we cannot afford to have one 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.880 of the stars that we have historically had over the 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:20.400 last we want to say, five plus seasons, with last 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:26.079 year being the exception. With the difficulties that lie ahead 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.280 and this with the scheduling, there's no room for air 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.440 early in the season. And I think that has it 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.600 should have created a sense of urgency in the off season, 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.079 and even more so now that we are in training camp. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.439 So I'm sure the coaches are. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.360 Preaching urgency, consistency, finishing. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.040 All of those all of those themes, right, you know, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.599 trying to drill that into the mindset, and then hopefully 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:05.800 they're creating a highly competitive atmosphere daily at practice, because 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:10.600 that is where it all starts, is competition in practice. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:16.880 Competition in practice leads to positive habits that transition into results. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:17.200 Within the game. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:21.400 So, you know, we can only speculate right now, but 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.840 you know, these are my hopes of what I hope 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.079 is occurring when in the meetings and on the practice field, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.960 the competition daily in meetings on the field, in the 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.760 weight room, sharpening that iron, developing those habits so that 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.000 we are ready to go out there and run through 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.920 this first part of the season and build the confidence 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.240 to sustain us to the rest of the season. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.160 Is Marla Jackson with us. We've talked about plenty of 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.880 times in the past. Your foundation. You guys have something 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.960 going on.

Yeah, Yeah, there's been 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.560 It's been quite quite some time. But I haven't spoken 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.480 to Bullet in quite some time. But I see from 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.400 a far looks like he's doing great things in Texas. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:59.439 He has a sports complex that he has down there, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.440 and from what I can see, well. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.079 It looks like he's doing well that's awesome. Well, next 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.720 Wednesday we'll do this again to remind folks that's the 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.120 Skyline Club, which is by the way, awesome right there. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.960 That is going to be a great time to be 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.600 had by all. But Marlon will remind people all this 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.120 with you on the show again next Wednesday. If that's 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.600 okay with. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.680 You, Yeah, that's all great. 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.360 We'll put you on hold. Marlon, you talked to Caleb. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:26.960 Will set that up for next week. But it's good 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:27.920 to have you back on PAL. 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:29.640 I appreciate it. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.560 Marlon Jackson on the Andy Moore Automotive Group Potline awesome, dude, 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.240 Caleb said it up again for next Wednesday. I dig 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.080 you know, I've only been in the Skyline Club one time, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:47.680 one damn time. I don't know how I've not been 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:51.920 there more than once. I want to say that I 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.000 was up and there. The one time I was there 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.560 was thanks to our good friend a Paris. One time 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:04.160 in the Skyline. This is legit. Actually, I think I 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.720 had to speak at the Skyline because you know that 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:14.080 there are probably some pre speech cocktails to make sure 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:19.120 that this guy was ready to rock. Marlin does a 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:25.280 great jemfes, what a great guy. Thank you Derek for 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.720 sending me that to the Skyline Charity Classic in partnership 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:34.440 with the Fight for Life Foundation, six o'clock Colts Trivia, 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:40.360 August the thirteenth. That is a week from tomorrow. I've 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.320 got a little Colts pregame show coming up a week 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:50.840 from tomorrow, Ronald, I'm excited about it. I will get 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:56.200 Marlon back on next week on the Andy Moore Auto 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.280 Money Group Hotline. He is the coast of the Fan 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:05.600 morning show along with Gabe Cups Boyd and his dance routine. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.240 It's Kevin Bowen with us right now. Did you approve 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.840 this whole dance and video stuff being sent out by 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:12.400 your co host? 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.680 I was not following you there for for just a second. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.440 I thought you represented his basketball game. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:20.400 Boy. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.640 I'm probably not wanted to be judging anyone on their 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.920 dance routines after my young jock performance there in Westfield, But. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:28.840 My goodness, you got to You got a close up 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.160 right here on YouTube? Is that? What do you do? 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.760 Are you laying in bed? 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:32.640 What? 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.120 What's going on? No? No, no, there's a bag. We're 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.400 all look. We got planing going on right there. I 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:40.880 love it. 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.520 We got Nelly Bowen crawling around. I put the two 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.360 others upstairs. I figured she's the one for you the 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:48.080 most trouble. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.480 So I thought you had that camera's almost up your 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.640 nostril right there. That's a pretty big close up right there. No, no, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.600 it's good. I just know it's okay. We need to 0:16:58.600 --> 0:16:59.840 see your chiseled features. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:05.800 I thought you wanted to see my nose here. But yeah, 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.360 James Boyd, I mean he's going a little solo, right. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.440 I mean it looks like he could be a backup 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.520 dancer here for you know, the Jackson five or something. 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:18.280 Yeah, he's a dancing guy. Honestly. I watched him perform 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.720 that last night. He did like two or three different times, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.639 and he didn't look like he had much rhythm whatsoever. 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.199 It didn't. It looked he. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.800 Got no jump shot and he's got no rhythm. 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.480 He was begging for rhythm. Yeah, last night last night sucked. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.320 They do we played. I said this earlier. You can't 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.560 play for an hour and a half pick up basketball 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.040 and play four games. Then you're doing it all wrong. 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.960 It was bad last night. So that's why I got 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.000 to go back again tonight to Greenwood Christian and for 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.840 the first time since he became the producer of this show. 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.440 Caleb can't make it, so there's a check mark. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.600 Well, I was talking with somebody with the Colts and 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.199 they were asking me if they could join Who's Your 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:05.800 Your your pickup game? So remember there pr staff. Do 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.719 you know Hayden Clark at all? He's a good dude. 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:10.160 Can you play. 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:12.040 Well? 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:17.640 I assume, I mean sure, We're always wide open you. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.199 All right, So send him to Greenwood Christian. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.359 I'm a little hardcore about it, as Caleb can attest to. 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.160 So once you're in, you you got to be in. 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.959 I don't want I don't take people bowing out or 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.400 not making it, and I sure as hell don't take 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.920 the last minute bails. We cannot do that because you're 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:39.639 gonna get it from me. If that's the case. 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.639 I'll never forget a few years ago when James Boyd 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.840 bailed on your Sunday morning because I thought he had 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.840 a little strange next to him in bed, and you 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:47.679 weren't happy with that. 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:51.240 I don't care. You got plenty of time to work 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.240 that you can get up at seven and come down 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.159 here and play for two hours and get back to it, 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.200 you know, heh. 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.880 Bringer she can, she can, she can rebound during during 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:00.840 during warmups. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:06.080 I I have no mercy in terms of the text 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.640 group of these guys. If you're a no show, you're 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.640 gonna hear about it. And I don't care if that's 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:16.320 at Southport or at Senegrove or a Greenwood Christian or wherever. 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.800 If you don't make it, you're gonna hear about it. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.199 So I love your intensity. 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.520 I'm intense, there's no doubt. Hey, I'm going to ask 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.200 you about your intensity. So you're a Notre Dame, honk, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.040 we know that to be true. Were you upset about 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.640 this whole au Notre Dame thing or did Zach Osterman 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.359 talk you off the ledge this morning? 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:34.600 No? 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.600 I you know, honestly, what I want to see from 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.960 college football is whether it's a big time the SEC. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.240 And that's kind of what Zach was hammering today. You know, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.000 they get an agreement for a non conference schedule, or 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:48.720 you get the ACC in the Big Twelfth to join 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.879 as well. And again, we can't agree on anything in 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.919 college sports, so this is probably a pipe dream. But 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:55.720 for me, I think we need to get all these 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.919 powerful conferences to agree. Yes, your conference games are your 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.120 conference games and then all of you need to play 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.600 one tough well, I mean tough is kind of a 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.040 loose term, but agree to one non conference game because 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.400 for me, when we get to late August early September, John, 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.600 that's that like quiet period for the NFL, right before 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.399 Labor Day. And if you look at Week one of 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.679 the college football slate this year, it's terrible. And to me, 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.840 it's all these teams afraid to you know, risk having 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.360 a loss, and I think we need to get an 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.720 agreement here. Sorry, we got some crying kids there. 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.640 Uh no, Max Salon, life's working behind you right there, 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.760 that's all good. Is this the basement of the bowing 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:37.120 the state right here? Yeah? 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:38.560 This is Max? 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.000 Hey? Max, Hey, tell Max to go get his grabbers. 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.520 Max, you want to go get your chompers, get your chompers. 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.400 And I want him to pull out his dad's ears 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.159 while you're doing this interview. Can we do that? 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:52.480 He's feeling a little bad, buddy. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.360 I'm Max. Hey, buddy, you guys are watching on YouTube live. 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.600 Well you need to be right now because we got 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.639 Max Bowen on the lap, Dad, Kevin Bowen. We're looking 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.680 for the clampers of the clumper what it called the Clampers. 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.200 Yeah, he calls him as uh, he calls him as, 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.520 calls him as chompers. Here, cool, let me go, let 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:14.320 me go take him. 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.280 That's okay, you're gonna take him upstairs. Kevin Bowen is 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.240 going to take him upstairs right now. I'm back with you, 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:26.520 Kevin Bowen, Cartisy, the Andy Moore Automotive Group, Potline. I 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.800 love real life. I think you guys know that. And 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.600 this is real life. There's nothing, not a damn thing 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.640 wrong with real life, Brothers, there's. 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.919 Not except except for what you gotta go get drinks 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:40.760 with your friends and then you get chast eyes on 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:41.960 are well, you might. 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.480 As well get used to. You're the one that accepted 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.600 this again, you knew what that was going to entails. 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.200 I don't feel bad about it. I am a I 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.639 am a force of nature when it comes to this 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.800 stuff right here, and I am I feel like I'm 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.959 hardcore and like it's funny. I think I'll make up 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.679 when I was talking to Marlin about my younger existence. 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:08.000 I think I'm making up for that right now, seriously. 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.320 And I'm glad somebody finally taught me that. So they 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.919 really do. And I was lucky that I grew up 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:17.480 around people like when I grew up doing this. I 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.120 look back at my time with Mark Patrick, and Mark 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:24.159 Patrick is hardcore. But Mark Patrick was hardcore for a reason, 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:28.719 and I appreciate that. Now. Maybe when you're in it 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.240 at the time, you don't get it. But I think 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.000 when you get further down the road, especially when you've 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.920 really enjoyed what you've done, I think it becomes more 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:41.359 magnified and you've become more appreciative of it. That makes sense. 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.439 Kevin Bowen is back right now? Is Max? Okay? 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.240 Apologies there? John, No man, No. 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.840 Real life is great. I was just telling Caleb that 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:52.600 I dig real life. 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.760 Yeah, a little little chaos here, but yeah, I think 0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:58.479 to get back, I guess the call tou all thing. 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.200 What I want to see is all forty four conferences 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.520 agree to one non conference game, I think, and maybe 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.320 we're going to need to expand the playoff to sixteen 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:11.840 or twenty four before teams are willing to do that. 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:14.919 But I think that is going to be something that 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:16.719 is just needed. You know, when you when you look 0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.199 at where we're at right now from from from a 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.720 from a non conference standpoint, I'll be right there, okay, 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.399 and and that to me, I think it would be 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:31.200 super beneficial from late August early September because frankly, when 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:34.000 you look at those two weekends, those are weekends that 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:36.800 college football world I think needs to be on center stage, 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:39.360 and right now you just don't really have a lot 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:39.600 of that. 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.919 And is it okay for me to say I'm going 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.600 to interject on this too, because I've been a hardcore 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:49.919 on my stance I until somebody figures that out or 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:54.040 makes a rule that that has to happen, I don't 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:57.000 understand why why I'm not necessary. I'm not saying you 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.840 at all, but I don't see why people are up 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:04.159 said about what AU does because I you what they're 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:08.480 doing is following a formula that clearly works and works 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:12.040 with this environment and this landscape. And I think people 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.920 are absolutely bat as crazy to believe that they should 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:21.240 peel away from that until you have to, until somebody 0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.879 forces you to do it, You do what best benefits 0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:28.960 your situation and what has I don't know why. I 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:30.919 do know why because I know the blue bloods are 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.359 upset about all of this stuff. But in terms of 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.240 IU and the success this has work for them, So 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.600 why should they feel compelled because of criticism to move 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:44.359 away from that. I am staunchly in their category or 0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.280 in their corner in this. You do what you do 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:51.680 as long as it shows the results until somebody changes 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:55.000 up the rules, which is inevitable. But for the time being, 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.280 I love what they do well. 0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:00.600 I think I guess a counter to that would have 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.920 been the playoff two years ago, you know, when when 0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:07.040 they go ten and two or I forget what their 0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:08.919 exact record was, but you know when they had the 0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.600 losses or no they were I guess they just had 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.320 one loss right, and a lot of people question, yeah, 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.800 because Ohio State beat them, you know, pretty handily there 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:18.560 late in the season, and there was some of the 0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:21.600 question whether they should even get in. I think there 0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:23.480 were a ten seed if I remember correctly, I want 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:27.679 to say Notre Dame was hosting as the seven. And 0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:30.600 a big reason why I think some of the committee 0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.679 members thought that Indiana should have been closer to the 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:38.000 bubble was because of their schedule and because of the 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.480 you know, I forget if those Louisville or Virginia that year, 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:44.160 which one that they bought out from, So I think 0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:46.720 that would be the question is when you get to 0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:50.480 be not an undefeated team, which who knows, maybe they'll 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:52.199 just continue to win every single game. But when all 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.240 of a sudden you get to be on the bubble, 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.439 is that going to be used against you? You know 0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:02.560 Ohio State, you know they have Texas right now in 0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:04.679 the non conference. If you were going to compare like 0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:06.600 resumes at the end of the year and it's Ohiose 0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.359 and Indiana with the same record, You're probably gonna side 0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:14.240 more with Ohio State willingness to play equality, not non 0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:17.320 non conference opponent. So that would be the question. When 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:18.680 you go on to feed and you win the national title, 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:21.280 you can do anything. You could schedule Eastern Green and 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.200 people aren't going to care. But I think the question 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:28.359 becomes if and when you're now being compared to a 0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:31.480 nine and three sec team, Now, what's that discussion going 0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:31.720 to be? 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:35.679 Like, Yeah, I think it's a massive blue broad pity 0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:41.120 party because of the IU situation, And maybe that's part 0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:44.240 of the reason why, because it rubs those folks the 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:48.120 wrong way that I really enjoy it and nothing against you, 0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:50.480 you know how much I like you, But you can 0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:52.880 factor in Notre Dame in that process. Too. I don't 0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.040 give a crap, I guess, and I think it's funny 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:56.840 that everybody gets all bent out of shape about it. 0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.400 Is that fair? Is that fair? From my standpoint? 0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:05.320 What frustrates men? Again, obviously I'm heavily biased here. I 0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.399 just want to see these quality games. Like to me, 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.840 you imagine what a Notre Dame Indiana week would have 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:15.040 been like for our station? You know, the Notre Dame 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:18.080 USC back on the schedule. Can you imagine if the 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.320 big time in the SEC agreed to a non conference 0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:25.600 home and home and now Alabama was coming to Bloomington, 0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:26.600 Indiana to play. 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:30.320 About the end result? Though, like Signetti in company, they're 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.359 working for the end result. They don't give a crap 0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.679 about what we're going to be entertained by. Do they know? 0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:36.760 I should? I don't. 0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.800 Yeah, I know full well what they're doing. But I'm 0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.200 just talking. What I would love to see from college 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.399 football is can we all agree on all right? Instead 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.040 of playing Howard Austin p and Ball State in the 0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:52.280 non conference, why don't you have two cupcakes in one quality? 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.800 And again, if everyone is in agreement on the one quality, 0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.760 now it's more of a level playing field and now 0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:03.879 you have appointment television late August early September. That to 0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:07.200 me is something that again, college football can't agree on anything. Clearly. 0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.080 I'm not holding my breath to say this is going 0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:12.159 to happen, but that's what I would like to see 0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:15.959 from an entertainment standpoint in late August and early September. 0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:19.480 I guess it's kind of magnified for me Kevi a 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:23.440 little bit here because I love to watch again all 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:30.680 these high quality, high caliber, historic football programs collegiately have 0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:33.560 to try to all get bent out of shape because 0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:37.199 of the IU infiltration here. I love that, and I 0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:38.800 love the fact that i U is going to go 0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.680 about their business and do what they do, I guess, 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.680 until somebody makes a rule and suggest they can't and 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:47.400 they have to go about it a different way. I 0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.160 love that, and I love the fact that you have 0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:52.000 a lot of people complaining about it. So I live 0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:54.840 in this world, you know again, And I think Signetti's 0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:58.360 the type of guy that will adjust. Certainly, if the 0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.200 rules would predicate that you have to adjust, he will, 0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:03.680 But I think he would adjust if he felt he 0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:07.080 had to. But at this point, whatever formula they and 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.960 he's using, clearly works, so there's zero way I would 0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:12.120 go about it any differently. 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:16.040 Yeah, I think, yeah, I mean to live in a 0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:18.640 little bit of reality. If this was Alabama or LSU, 0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:20.800 I think we all be bitching and moaning. But because 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:22.840 it's a team in our own backyard, correct, and it's 0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.440 Kurt Signetti right now, then you know. 0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:28.760 We had to live with this phap. We were born 0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:30.400 and I know you've been a Notre Dame fan, so 0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.000 that's a little bit different. But look, we were born 0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:36.520 where you in football around here was basically a doormat 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.720 if it wasn't Notre Dame. So this is all new 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.800 and it's awesome. And the fact that whether you're an 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.880 SEC team or a blue blood or whatever, they're all 0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:48.920 been out of shape about this, it's gratifying. I think 0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:51.880 it's gratifying to a level in which most people felt 0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.720 they would never see in the form of football around here. 0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:55.320 So it's great. 0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:59.320 Yeah, I mean, obviously it's beyond foreign times, to say 0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:03.440 the least here. So yeah, we'll see if anything changes, 0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:07.720 because you know, the the SEC has the whatever, everybody's 0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:11.640 got to play one in their non conference, and it's 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.040 something that i'd like to see the Big ten explore 0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:17.200 too as a as a conference. But until the Big 0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.240 until the playoff expands to your point, we're probably not 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:20.880 gonna see it. 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:24.200 Kevin Bowen The Fan Morning Show, He and Gabe Cupps 0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:30.480 Junior Weekday Morning seven until today, not three five and 0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.720 one o seven five the Fan. You know how much 0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:35.280 I love James. By the way, Hey, your conversation with 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.160 Daniel Jones, did you like bendover and check out his achilles? 0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:40.000 You feel that thing up to make sure it was okay? 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.720 That's say. I can't say I went, you know, underneath 0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.120 the table or felt a round on the old achilles there, 0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.600 But yeah, I thought he gave us maybe a little bit, 0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:51.600 you know, more than he does in a in a 0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:56.040 normal press conference setting. So I appreciated him joining us. 0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:57.960 And you know, honestly, just the fact that here we 0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:00.000 are six practices in John and he's taking every single 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:03.120 starting rep. That to me is the biggest thing. And 0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.040 there's been a willingness to let him be mobile and 0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:09.000 let him scramble. And while I don't think he's one 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.920 hundred one hundred percent, the fact that they're willing to 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:13.840 do all that. In late July and early August. I 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.840 think has got to be viewed as a very very 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:17.640 positive step in his direction. 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:21.520 Hey keV, seriously, I'm glad he's taken every rep too. 0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:25.160 But do they really want to give any starting reps 0:31:25.480 --> 0:31:30.840 and start any dialogue between Leonard and Richardson? Seriously? Would 0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:37.040 they rather not do that? So you're saying yeah, because 0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.440 all of a sudden, men more thought talking about, well, 0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:42.560 you see a literary god starters reps today? Hey, Richardson 0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:43.920 goes starters reps today? 0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:45.920 Yeah, I mean I guess it would be more from 0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:48.280 a medical standpoint, like if the medical team's like, hey, 0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.600 in this hour and a half practice, we don't want 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:54.120 Daniel doing all fourteen periods. You know, you would kind 0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:55.440 have no choice. 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:57.240 However, who would they use? Who do you think they 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.000 would use if they did, if they gave somebody else 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.800 the starters repped just for a moment of practice participation, 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:04.600 who would it be? 0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:07.000 I think if they played a game tomorrow, Riley Leonard 0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:07.840 would be the backup. 0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.200 Is that because he's better or because. 0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:19.760 That is because he's less likely to burn the house down. 0:32:22.320 --> 0:32:24.959 Because he can feel the snap, right I guess? 0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:25.640 Yeah? 0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:26.600 Yeah? 0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:29.640 Seriously, So I'm a snapping still problematic, by the way, 0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:32.800 do we know? And it's like every day it's weird. 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.160 I mean every day, and even Leonard had one or 0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:37.200 two yesterday that all of a sudden it's like a 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.200 broken play. And I mean some of it, I get 0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:41.480 is on the center. I mean Richardson has dropped several 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.200 So yeah, I mean these preseason games. You know, I 0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:48.040 assume of the twelve quarters, Richardson Leonard will play a ton, 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:52.160 but right now I would It's clear the first team 0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:53.680 offense has been able to move it a bit, but 0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:55.920 the second third team it's been a struggle, to say 0:32:55.920 --> 0:32:56.360 the least. 0:32:56.800 --> 0:32:58.680 Do you think that Richardson is going to go down 0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.280 in history as one of the most athletic guys not 0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:05.560 to be viewed as athletic in history of sport? You 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:07.880 know what I mean? I mean the whole snap issue. 0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:10.040 But you look at him and you go, man, this 0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:11.880 dude is an absolute Adonis. 0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:15.720 Yeah, I mean the snap issue. I mean, to be 0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:17.360 fair to him a little bit, like, is it still 0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:18.040 I related? 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:20.440 Yeah, Oh, I don't. Who knows that? Well, I mean, 0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:24.480 that's problematic, right, I didn't even consider that, but yeah, 0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:28.200 I guess, Hey, I can't see the snap, so that's problematic. 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.760 Yeah, it's kind of funny. Somebody in the media room 0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:32.800 there to day was like, you know, will Richardson go down, 0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.400 it's one of the biggest busts in NFL history. It'll 0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:40.040 be interesting like like if and when those conversations happen. Yeah, 0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:41.720 if you look at it and I'm not one of 0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.880 these people, it's like, you know, quarterback record as gospel, 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:48.000 but it is kind of wild that, like he could 0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:49.920 be viewed as one of the biggest bust in NFL 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:53.280 history and yet he's eight and seven as a starting quarterback. Yeah, 0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:56.480 like you know, what was JaMarcus records or JaMarcus Russell's record, 0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.720 what was Ryan Leaf's record? I mean, you know, some 0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:02.800 of these quarterbacks just were horrible. And if you want 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:05.160 to go step further, I mean the Colts fired that 0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:09.200 defensive coordinator that Richardson was starting with and Gus Bradley, 0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:10.439 so uh. 0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:14.799 But yeah, I mean all right now, Nelly Nelly did 0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.520 you name her after Nelly Olsen of Little House on 0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:18.000 the Prairie. 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:20.960 You say hi to Uncle John right there, Hi, Nelly, 0:34:22.080 --> 0:34:25.120 He's ready giving you a smile. 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:30.160 I know she is all the chicken that's how all 0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.200 the chicks respond to Uncle John.

How's Nelly doing? Right there? 0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:50.760 Is Nellie? 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:55.240 Uh, she's great, she's she's nine months tomorrow.

How close are we on that sidewalk to 0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:18.200 the street. 0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.040 I mean, look at this, This is Uncle John putting 0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:25.120 on his coore factor hat here. Yeah, we live a 0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:27.799 we live on a streets. It's a little a little 0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:29.440 too busy maybe for my liking. 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:33.799 So are we are we thinking about getting getting out 0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:35.279 of the place or we stay in there? Do you 0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:37.080 like it? I do? 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:39.279 I mean from an interest rate, it's just you know, 0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.160 not to get too homeownery on you. But the interest 0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:44.600 rate's just too good to pass up. 0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:46.080 You guys want to come down and live with me. 0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:55.240 I would love to try and seriously pitch that idea 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.160 to Maddie and just see if I could go ten 0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:01.319 or fifteen seconds before she's like her, are you a well? 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:04.880 I got yeah, the basement has lived down there, and you. 0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:06.280 Got a crib for Nelly ready? 0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:11.799 Oh heck yeah, got everything, everything exactly, everything exactly down there. Caleb, Hey, 0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.439 Caleb has been to a pool party across the world. Before. 0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:16.799 I was gonna say Kevin, like, this is what's gonna 0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:19.440 happen to me. He keeps dragging me around everywhere. 0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:24.200 It's gonna be. There's no doubt there is gonna be 0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:24.839 living there. 0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:27.680 I mean, you can do a bet you know what's 0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:31.160 gonna happen. First, Caleb living there, John having a grandkid 0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:33.799 crawling around. 0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:38.960 Lord of Mercy blank t keep it in your drawers, buddy, 0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:42.359 Come on now, don't do that to me. So there's 0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:47.080 zero way I'm ready to ready for that. But now, seriously, 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:50.720 hey fever. Stephanie White was the Coach of the Month 0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:53.720 in July. How much has been made about her being 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:57.759 the most significant issue that has been absolutely wrong to you. 0:36:57.880 --> 0:36:59.719 Yeah, it is kind of fitting. How well did they 0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:01.760 play this month and now you see all the awards 0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:05.600 coming in. Yeah, you know, to me, if anything in 0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.040 the gripe a little bit about the defensive personnel, you know, 0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:09.759 someone that I feel like has played pretty well for 0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:13.480 him and they've really needed has been Mobilliings correct mess. Yeah, 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:15.640 She's not as frontline as maybe some of the others 0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:18.640 we talk about, but she's been big for him. And 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:20.319 tomorrow night, I mean, I know a lot of eyes 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:22.560 will be on Colts practice, but that's a big one, 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.480 you know, because beating the upper echelon. Yeah, I think 0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:27.960 is now kind of the next question for them. And 0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:30.400 home court is really real. I mean, there's an opportunity here. 0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:32.200 When's the last time they've had a home court series, 0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:35.560 you know, So we'll see if they can get that 0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:38.319 here in the final whatever ten or fifteen games. 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:42.560 You know, And the Pacers guarded a little bit to 0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:47.399 help themselves end up in the NBA Finals, that's what's 0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:49.880 going to be with the fever. They can score and 0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.640 score it will, but you're going to have to be 0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:54.880 able to guard a little bit. And they just can't 0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:57.759 guard a little bit right now. That's problematic for him. 0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:00.480 No, I would agree, and you know you saw that 0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:02.680 late in the Minnesota game. Just could not get enough 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:04.880 stops there. So yeah, tomorrow night should be a good one. 0:38:05.480 --> 0:38:08.080 Do you know Nellie Olsen Little House in the Prairie? 0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:10.600 Did you get that reference? No, did not watch The 0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:12.360 Little House on the Prairie. You're too young for that. 0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:13.239 How old are you? 0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:14.720 Nelly for Tado. 0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:16.439 Month? 0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:21.520 You know what former NBA player Nellie Fortado dated and 0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:23.439 also used in a song of hers. 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.160 Oh I should know this, Caleb. 0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:34.840 You know two time MVP of the NBA, Steve Nash. Yeah, 0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.880 because I think they're both Canadian. He was he and 0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:40.040 and she and with Nelly Fortado and she put him 0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:40.560 in that song. 0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:43.800 Yeah. I should have known that a little bit quicker 0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:44.279 than I did. 0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:48.680 Who was the most awkward professional basketball player that's ever 0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:50.279 been used in a song? 0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:52.120 Oh? 0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.160 Oh gosh, I'm sure you could get some? Yeah? 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:58.320 Do you remember? Didn't? Didn't? What song is it where 0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:02.960 Jay Z says handles like Van Exel. Nick Van was 0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:03.560 in the song? 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:04.840 Yeah? 0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:07.799 Yeah, yeah, but Nick van Exell, I mean he could 0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:08.920 score there for he good? 0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:11.799 He was a He was a really good left I 0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:14.560 won't tell you left handed dudes mess up the world 0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:15.880 too in basketball. 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:18.960 The Cincinnati guy, right, did you play for Huggins? 0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:23.799 He did, Nick Van Exel back in the day. So 0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:26.640 all right, what do you guys got going on tomorrow morning? Buddy? 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:31.600 Just previewing that that night practice. Yeah, so we're done 0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:34.759 with our colts player coach related interviews there. I think 0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:37.520 we're trying to effort maybe the new Purdue A D. 0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:40.360 But I have a feeling that'll be having to be 0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:42.560 later because I think they're announcing it tomorrow or maybe 0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:43.880 he's doing a press conference tomorrow. 0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:48.719 I'm not going to ask any questions about Dyke didn't 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:51.400 taking dumps in the yard? All right? Is that okay 0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:52.960 with you? Seriously? 0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:55.000 You can't endorse that. 0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:55.640 Can you? 0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:55.400 No? 0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:55.719 No? 0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.399 I mean if I had to, I probably would because 0:39:58.440 --> 0:39:59.920 I'd rather do that in the yard in my pain. 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:03.560 But at the same time, yeah, how do how did 0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:04.520 that come up? This morning? 0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:08.640 That's a long story. I was describing how it looks 0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:10.800 like when Daniel Jones is running right now, looks like 0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:12.480 you might be trying to hurry to the potty a 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:13.000 little bit. 0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:15.560 Right it's better than his cubs arousal, though. Do you 0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:17.480 not just get worn out on that angle? 0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:22.640 Good lord, PCA. That's that's literally all all he tweets 0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:24.719 about right now, is w W E pc A. 0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.799 Yeah.

Do you want some? 0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:36.120 What's the latest on the old gas text? 0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.560 I say, hey, get your ass in here, I want 0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:42.000 some free gas, Braun. Yeah, what do you think exactly? 0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.240 I'm talking about Jasper all the time. I got free gas. 0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:49.200 Everybody's going if he wants me, dude to fill up. Yeah, 0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.080 there's gotta be some stations off of two thirty one. 0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:54.320 All right, well, I appreciate it. Take gif gape cups 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:55.120 our best tomorrow. 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.680 Okay that maybe laughs. 0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:03.080 See Buddy by Kevin Bowen and Nelly on the Andy 0:41:03.080 --> 0:41:09.160 Moore Automotive Group Potlight meantime on the Andy Moore Automotive 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.720 Group Potline. We'll double back to that in a second. 0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:14.080 State fair passes we have for you as well. From 0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:17.920 the Athletic The National college Football reporter Scott doctor Bean 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.439 joins us. Now, Hey, Scott, good afternoon, to your pal, 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:21.000 how are you? 0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:23.320 I'm great. How's it going today? 0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.120 All right? So we look at the top five right 0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:30.560 in the preseason rankings, they all believe have returning quarterbacks. 0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:34.040 Now number six has a new quarterback that are offending 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:37.640 national champions. But how do you compare, and this just 0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:42.440 occurred to me. You have returning signal callers compared to 0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:48.759 having returning coordinators, which has been a staple for Kurt Signetti, 0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:53.200 having these coordinators with him over this incredible run. How 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:56.560 do you compare or balance out the two in this case? 0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:02.279 I think in this case, if Indiana had a different name, 0:42:03.160 --> 0:42:05.200 if it was a blue blood name, it would get 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:06.960 the benefit of the doubt that it did not get 0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:09.720 here and it should have. And I think what told 0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.280 me a lot about the way the coaches are voting 0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:16.040 is that they had the second most first place votes 0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:18.480 yet their sixth overall, which tells me that there's a 0:42:18.600 --> 0:42:22.680 ton of coaches that vote him voted them tenth, eleventh 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:27.279 somewhere in the teams, and that's really unacceptable. If you 0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:30.080 want to continue to make this pull matter, you've got 0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:33.600 to vote the teams where they really are. In Indiana 0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:35.600 to me, is no less than a top three or 0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:38.960 four program right now, and based on everybody that they 0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:42.799 have coming back to outstanding coordinators, the best head coach 0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:45.160 in the country, and even though they don't have a 0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:48.480 returning quarterback, they have one who was very successful last 0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:53.399 year and Josh Hoover at TCU. And what we've seen 0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:55.759 out of Kurt Signetti in these two years is he's 0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.360 made good quarterbacks into either very good quarterbacks in the 0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:02.279 case of Kurt work or elite quarterbacks in the case 0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:05.600 of for Nando Mendoza. And I think Josh Hoover probably 0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:08.560 has a stronger pedigree coming into Indiana. Doesn't mean that 0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:10.719 he's going to be as good as for Nando Mendoza, 0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:12.480 who is one of the best we've seen in Big 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:16.120 ten country in decades, but it does mean that they 0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:18.239 should receive more of the benefit of the doubt than 0:43:18.239 --> 0:43:21.000 they received. And I think it's kind of it's unacceptable 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:24.520 again for a lot of coaches to rank them low, 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:27.600 to force them to be number six overall, you know. 0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:30.560 And again, Scott doctr Mon of the Athletic College Football 0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:32.960 Reporters on the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline with us. 0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:37.799 Right now, when you look at this particular team. Is 0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:40.600 it almost like it's EYEU against everybody right now. A 0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.960 year ago there were this incredible story, but now it's 0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:47.759 transitioned into, hey, look how they don't schedule. Hey look 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:51.520 how much money they have considering the resources, and they 0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:54.920 bought themselves a national title. It seems like, well what 0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:58.200 they did a year ago, it is completely offended the 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:01.800 blue bloods that are out there to really now hand 0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:05.160 off the most hated to the IU football program. Is 0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.120 there any fair in the way you judge i you, 0:44:08.840 --> 0:44:11.759 at least from those around them, as being maybe the 0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:15.360 most hated during the college football landscape going into the season. 0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:19.200 I think outside of Big ten country, that's totally fair. 0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:22.160 I mean, what we're seeing right now is pretty typical, 0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:26.880 which is the college football industrial complex tearing down teams 0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:29.560 that don't quite fit into the blue blood category. And 0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:32.400 it happens every year. We've seen it with teams like 0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.440 an IU who is able to accomplish great things. We've 0:44:35.480 --> 0:44:37.920 seen it in the past with Iowa with being the 0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:41.480 fake idea of college football, and several other teams that 0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:44.319 have kind of fit that description. And so you do 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:46.799 see this tear down, it's like you're not cool enough, 0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.800 you're not old money, You're not good enough for this crowd. 0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:52.680 But I don't think that's the case of the Big Ten. 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:55.319 I think there is immense respect in the Big Ten 0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:59.000 for what Indiana. Did you look at the programs that 0:44:59.040 --> 0:45:01.640 are competing in a sim level. I don't think Oregon 0:45:01.680 --> 0:45:05.239 feels that way. Ohio State understands what it has, and 0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:08.399 the other programs of the Big Ten are really more 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.799 or less I wouldn't say in awe, but very much respectful. 0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:15.440 But I think you look at primarily from SCC country, 0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:19.480 they're threatened by what Indiana represents and how it's accomplished. 0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:22.479 And you look at this team and there are very 0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:26.520 few weaknesses. I think Indiana it can be the bull, 0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:29.600 the villain, you know, but you know what, I think 0:45:29.640 --> 0:45:32.480 Kurt Signetty would applaud being the villain as well. 0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:36.720 So how does it magnify even more defensively the return 0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:39.240 that we found out yesterday and he was in practice 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:41.640 down in Bloomington today in preparation for the start of 0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.640 the season for a fifth year, that of the injured 0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:47.480 and the celebration after the Big Ten title game of 0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:49.800 defensive lineman Stephen Daily. 0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:54.560 I mean this is a massive return. I mean, you 0:45:54.640 --> 0:45:57.960 can't ask for a better player to come back and 0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:01.399 kind of get this fifth year than Stephen Day. I mean, 0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:04.480 he got hurt last year. I remember seeing it happen. 0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:08.880 I was in Indianapolis when it happened. And and to 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.120 actually be able to win the national title without him, 0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:13.000 I thought, oh, man, that you know it was going 0:46:13.080 --> 0:46:15.960 to really hurt Indiana, but instead Indiana was able to 0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:18.800 win it without him. And yet now you have three 0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:21.720 returning starters up front on one of the tougher defensive 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.400 lines in the country. You have you know, some really 0:46:24.440 --> 0:46:28.040 elite level linebackers coming back. A lot of the secondary, 0:46:28.320 --> 0:46:30.719 I mean there's I think Indiana could be just as 0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:33.279 good as it was last year because you know, even 0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:35.600 at the second level, I mean Aidan Fisher was an 0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:40.799 incredible leader and a tremendous tackler. But I think they 0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:43.480 may be a little more athletic now with Roe Hardy 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:46.520 and Isaiah Jones. And in the secondary, D'Angelo Ponds did 0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:49.560 something that you know, it's hard to replicate. But they've 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.240 still got some really good players. I think Jamari Sharp 0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:55.640 and and Amari Ferrell are as good as it gets 0:46:55.640 --> 0:46:58.879 and then bringing in guys like aj Harris from Penn 0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:03.319 State and Preston'sman from Wisconsin. They mean, these are really 0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:06.520 good Big Ten players. So I think that they are 0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:09.839 really they're right there, top three in the Big Ten 0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:12.160 to me, top three or four in the country, and 0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:15.919 they have every opportunity to go back to back this year. 0:47:15.920 --> 0:47:18.239 It's really going to be about could Josh Hoover make 0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:20.200 the plays in some of these critical games. 0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:23.080 So Scott Doctor Men of the Athletic Talks College Football 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:26.120 and the Andy More Automotive Group Hotline. So we saw 0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:29.960 what Fernanda Mendoza did, Heisman Trophy winner, first overall selection 0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:33.360 going to the Raiders in the NFL draft. That is 0:47:33.400 --> 0:47:35.759 going to be a lot to live up to and 0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:38.879 hopefully from an AU angle, try to surpass. And you're 0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:42.040 number one for Josh Hoover. How do you view him 0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:46.080 going into this season? Some of the similarities if there 0:47:46.120 --> 0:47:50.479 are any, and really a multitude of differences between these 0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:52.520 two high level quarterbacks in Bloomington. 0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.319 I think you've got a guy who's very experienced, you know, 0:47:56.400 --> 0:47:59.839 has thrown the ball a lot at TCU. He's made 0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:02.799 quite a few mistakes, I would say, more so than 0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:06.560 what certainly that Indiana would want or that it will 0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:09.879 probably be coached out of him. The turnovers, but very 0:48:10.200 --> 0:48:12.320 I think he's got the potential to be more efficient, 0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:16.160 maybe if I shouldn't say more efficient, but efficient, maybe 0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:19.239 a little bit better runner at times. And he does 0:48:19.320 --> 0:48:23.120 have a pretty good assortment of wide receivers to choose from. 0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:23.399 Now. 0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:28.640 You know, Elijah Surat and and o Mark Cooper were 0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:31.520 tremendous and it's really it's hard to replace them even 0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:35.799 with good players. Charlie Becker though, had such a phenomenal 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:39.080 postseason a late season, and you throw on Nick marsh 0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:42.800 who kind of underachieved at Michigan State but wasn't necessarily 0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:44.920 his fault. And I think he gets coached right in 0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:48.719 Indiana that it can really help Josh Hoover go from 0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:52.799 being a very good quarterback to now an elite level 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:55.319 quarterback on par with the top three or four in 0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:57.560 the Big Ten and maybe you know, at or near 0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:01.200 the top. So I think it's it's hard to say 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:05.680 he's going to equal what Fernando Mendoza did because he 0:49:05.760 --> 0:49:08.279 was so critical in those big moments last year, whether 0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:11.400 it was Penn State on the road, Iowa on the road. 0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:14.680 You know Layton in Miami. I mean his run for 0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:18.120 the touchdown where he got hit at the five and lunged, 0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:20.200 and I mean that goes down in Big Ten lore 0:49:20.320 --> 0:49:22.400 is one of the greatest touchdowns in Big Ten history. 0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:25.480 So I don't know that Josh Hoover can do that. 0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:28.120 I also don't think it's fair to expect him to 0:49:28.160 --> 0:49:31.319 do that. I think what you expect from him is efficiency, 0:49:31.480 --> 0:49:34.719 make the makeable plays, make some important plays when he can, 0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:38.560 and don't lose the game for you. And I think 0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:41.720 he's more than capable of meeting those challenges head. 0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:44.600 On Scott doctor Ben of the Athletic Talks College Football. 0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:46.200 He is kind of enough to join us on the 0:49:46.239 --> 0:49:48.960 Andy morrow Ato Moni Group potlines. We mentioned IU and 0:49:49.080 --> 0:49:53.000 rank six in the preseason Coaches Pull in the top 0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:57.920 twenty five, and the first five Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, 0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:02.000 Texas and Notre Dame all have returning quarterbacks. So do 0:50:02.080 --> 0:50:05.400 you think ultimately is the best quarterback of those five 0:50:05.480 --> 0:50:07.680 teams I just mentioned in the Coaches Bowl. 0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:12.680 It's it's interesting to see what the upside is on 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.040 arch Manning. I mean, we are all kind of expecting 0:50:15.120 --> 0:50:17.279 him to if he could be like Peyton or Eli, 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:21.400 then he probably would be number one. I did my 0:50:21.480 --> 0:50:25.040 preseason Big Ten poll, and I did I put Julian 0:50:25.160 --> 0:50:27.799 Say in there because he was off the charts when 0:50:27.800 --> 0:50:30.759 it came to accuracy, and when you have those receivers, 0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:33.880 he's going to look like the best in the country. 0:50:34.000 --> 0:50:37.320 So I think I would probably put him at the top. 0:50:37.680 --> 0:50:40.480 As of now, Dante Moore has incredible talent. Would have 0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:42.560 been the number two pick. And I know there were 0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:45.360 a few people saying that he should have been number 0:50:45.400 --> 0:50:48.000 one over Mindo's. I don't buy that, but I think, 0:50:48.120 --> 0:50:51.319 you know, Dante Moore is is very is very good, 0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:53.600 and now I think CJ. Carr as the potential to be, 0:50:53.719 --> 0:50:56.319 you know, to take that next step and maybe put 0:50:56.440 --> 0:51:00.480 Notre Dame as a as a finalist. Again, I think 0:51:00.480 --> 0:51:04.440 they're in that category. But and then you know, of 0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:06.879 course Georgia, you know, Gunner stocked, and I think they're 0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:10.680 he's kind of a safer guy, but I would probably go. 0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:13.160 I'd probably go saying, as of right. 0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:18.000 Now, you look at the Big ten and you kind 0:51:18.000 --> 0:51:21.360 of you know Ohio State, Iowa, I should say Ohio 0:51:21.400 --> 0:51:24.920 State and and Iu. But what about teams with a 0:51:24.960 --> 0:51:29.759 new coach, like like Michigan White, Penn State. And then 0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:32.880 I want you to factor in a team like Washington, 0:51:33.320 --> 0:51:35.520 which a lot of people believe could be an ultimate 0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:38.640 dark horse that and you know an old standby is 0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:42.000 Kirk Ferrence and what he has done in Iowa City. 0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:44.560 It's a team that's often forgotten, but I know Kurt 0:51:44.600 --> 0:51:47.399 Signetti said that. You know they played them as tough 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:50.000 as anybody a year ago. If you remember on the road, 0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:51.879 a chance to win an eye, you pulled that one 0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:54.000 out of the fire. You look at the big ten, 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:56.919 especially with those two teams in mind, within the top 0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:57.760 twenty five. 0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:00.600 I think they're in the and this is where the 0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:02.359 top twenty five got it right, even though I think 0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:06.880 IU was the most underrated team at number six. I 0:52:06.920 --> 0:52:09.200 think that there is a top three, and then there's 0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:12.880 a next tier of about five teams that could be 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:16.840 playoff caliber teams. And I think Ohio State and Oregon 0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:22.399 and Indiana not only will be playoff teams but at 0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:25.400 minimum hosting playoff games, and two of them might end 0:52:25.480 --> 0:52:28.880 up with buys. I think they're that good. Out of 0:52:28.920 --> 0:52:33.399 the next group, there's just everybody's got a question mark. 0:52:33.880 --> 0:52:36.800 I started Michigan where I think they have the potential 0:52:36.840 --> 0:52:41.319 to maybe be a team that could struggle. They have 0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:45.719 an incredibly difficult schedule that they open up with Oklahoma 0:52:45.840 --> 0:52:48.919 at home, that's a second game, and then their first 0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:51.759 Big Ten game is against Iowa. Later on in the 0:52:51.800 --> 0:52:55.520 season they play Indiana, Oregon and Ohio State, and you 0:52:55.600 --> 0:52:59.319 look at those types of games and if they go 0:52:59.400 --> 0:53:01.200 they could start two and two and lose to two 0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:03.960 pretty good teams in Oklahoma and Iowa, and their season 0:53:04.000 --> 0:53:06.200 is going to feel like it's lost. And Bryce Underwood 0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:07.680 has all the talent in the world, but you got 0:53:07.719 --> 0:53:10.280 to realize that at some point and a new coach, 0:53:10.280 --> 0:53:12.439 and Kyle Whittingham, I thought he was a little tone 0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:14.719 deaf and trying to understand what the Michigan had. State 0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:17.359 rivalry is all about. You can say all you want 0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:19.200 that there shouldn't be hate in sports, but there is 0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:21.600 hate in that rivalry, so I think you kind of 0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:24.720 have to look that way. Penn State is the team 0:53:24.760 --> 0:53:28.000 that I think I would put in that fourth spot 0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:31.120 because they really weren't that bad last year. There were 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:34.000 seven and six fired their coach mid season, But if 0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:36.520 you look five of their losses brought were by one score. 0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:40.120 As we know, IU went right down to the wire there. 0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:42.640 They lost by a point. At Iowa they had some 0:53:42.760 --> 0:53:45.759 bad losses to Northwestern and UCLA that were by a 0:53:45.760 --> 0:53:48.759 couple of points. And so I think when you bring 0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:51.800 in Matt Campbell, who is an outstanding coach who really 0:53:52.400 --> 0:53:57.240 broke the ceiling at Iowa State and brought twenty four players, 0:53:57.239 --> 0:54:00.439 and a lot of them are really good players, I think, 0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:03.160 and they're coupled with their schedule, I think the nitty 0:54:03.239 --> 0:54:05.600 Lyons have the chance to be in the playoff discussion, 0:54:05.680 --> 0:54:09.240 win double digit games and then out of the rest. 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:13.400 Washington I'm curious about, you know, the demand Williams flirtation 0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:16.080 with LSU before he got scolded and sent back to 0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.479 the corner, and you know how much does that play 0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:23.080 out for them? USC has a really good offense, you know, 0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:25.799 but it's it's an important time for Lincoln Riley, you know, 0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:27.680 if he doesn't get over the top, if they don't 0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:30.560 win nine or ten games and get to the playoff, 0:54:30.600 --> 0:54:32.879 I mean, is it kind of exhausted his time there? 0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:36.600 And Iowa is an intriguing team because they are very physical. 0:54:37.080 --> 0:54:39.960 They have two big question marks to me, which is quarterback. 0:54:40.120 --> 0:54:42.399 They've got a competition there that'll go all the way 0:54:42.400 --> 0:54:44.879 to the beginning of the season, and their defensive line 0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:47.600 needs to be replaced. But other than that, I think 0:54:47.600 --> 0:54:51.160 the Hawkeys will be again a really tough out at 0:54:51.160 --> 0:54:54.239 a minimum, and they only have six guys with the 0:54:54.360 --> 0:54:57.000 max out there eligibility this year, so they've got a 0:54:57.040 --> 0:54:59.239 two or three year push there for Kirk Farrence who 0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:03.799 seemingly it's younger as he gets older, and you know, 0:55:04.239 --> 0:55:07.160 so you know, I think out of that group, I 0:55:07.239 --> 0:55:10.040 like Penn State probably the most to push for the postseason, 0:55:10.360 --> 0:55:12.759 but I are the playoff but I think the rest 0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:16.480 have some key players that can really put them in 0:55:16.480 --> 0:55:17.040 that position. 0:55:18.239 --> 0:55:21.160 Scott is Lane Kiffin is going to supply more in 0:55:21.239 --> 0:55:27.600 the category of normalcy in soap opera or winning this season. 0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:31.800 Well, you want to talk about overrated, you know, starting 0:55:31.800 --> 0:55:34.000 the year thirteenth when he went seven and six last 0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:35.440 year and you have all these new players and a 0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:38.320 lot of players left. That's that's a testament to the 0:55:38.360 --> 0:55:41.880 storyline as it is more than the actuality. I mean, 0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:44.080 they have incredible talent, as they always do with LSU, 0:55:44.160 --> 0:55:46.080 and I think he'll win, but I don't know about 0:55:46.120 --> 0:55:48.160 right away. I mean that Week three game. I don't 0:55:48.160 --> 0:55:50.400 know that we've seen many games that will have that 0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:53.160 kind of a grudge match, you know, in a long 0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:56.200 long time with you know, with Lane going back to 0:55:56.239 --> 0:55:58.960 Old Miss, and there's gonna be a lot of you know, 0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:01.560 just like there was with him at Old Miss, but 0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:03.840 now even doubly so I think there's gonna be a 0:56:03.880 --> 0:56:05.920 lot of teams gunning for him. And I don't know 0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:07.759 if this year would be the year that they kind 0:56:07.760 --> 0:56:11.600 of break through, but you know, strange things happen in 0:56:11.600 --> 0:56:14.040 that part of the country. So I makes just to 0:56:14.080 --> 0:56:16.320 see if Sam Levitt can can be the cred of 0:56:16.400 --> 0:56:19.720 quarterback that he wants and can win against Old Miss 0:56:19.719 --> 0:56:21.480 in Texas A and m early, because if they can, 0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:23.919 then they might start the year eight to zero before 0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:25.760 they get into a really tough part of their schedule. 0:56:25.840 --> 0:56:28.800 If if you have the opportunity to change anything about 0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:32.920 college football right now, and obviously around here, most IU 0:56:33.000 --> 0:56:35.680 fans would not want to change anything about it, considering 0:56:35.719 --> 0:56:38.759 the results that they have received in the past two years. 0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:42.920 But how would you approach it moving forward? What is best? 0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:46.200 Whether it comes down to the College Football Playoff, or 0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:50.919 do they need additional teams or the whole scheduling criticism 0:56:51.000 --> 0:56:54.000 that's out there as well, the conferences, all of this, 0:56:54.120 --> 0:56:58.600 what would you do to, in your belief, improve college 0:56:58.600 --> 0:56:59.760 football moving forward? 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.600 I think if you start with I'm going to set 0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:07.360 aside everything with the bill through Congress and all the 0:57:07.400 --> 0:57:09.960 issues associated with NIL and everything is that, first of all, 0:57:10.000 --> 0:57:12.719 thet'll bore everybody listening to this, and second of all, 0:57:12.800 --> 0:57:15.640 it is just so comprehensive in detailed it would be 0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:19.960 really hard to really go into depth on that. But 0:57:20.000 --> 0:57:23.040 I'll say for the sport itself, I'm one of maybe 0:57:23.080 --> 0:57:26.040 the very few guys in media who is absolutely a 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:29.320 proponent of the twenty fourteen playoff. And the reason why 0:57:29.560 --> 0:57:32.720 is that as these conferences have grown and there's eighteen 0:57:32.760 --> 0:57:35.160 teams in the Big Ten, there's sixteen and at least 0:57:35.200 --> 0:57:39.600 sixteen and the other three major conferences, that schedules can 0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:43.040 really determine how teams perform and what their record is 0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:44.920 and whether or not they can get to the postseason. 0:57:44.960 --> 0:57:46.880 I mean, I you caught a lot of flak a 0:57:46.880 --> 0:57:50.600 couple of years ago because of a somewhat easier Big 0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:52.920 Ten schedule really wasn't their fault. I mean, they played 0:57:52.920 --> 0:57:56.120 both championship finalists from the year before, but neither of 0:57:56.160 --> 0:58:00.240 them really were good. But when you play the these 0:58:00.560 --> 0:58:04.200 such strange schedules, and you have Ohio State, whose teams 0:58:04.200 --> 0:58:06.520 were fifty one and thirty last year and in Big 0:58:06.560 --> 0:58:10.840 Ten play just an incredible schedule versus Indiana versus say, 0:58:10.880 --> 0:58:13.360 Penn State, which is thirty three and forty eight in 0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:16.360 the Big Ten. So you know there's such discrepancy. They 0:58:16.400 --> 0:58:19.480 could have the same record but be vastly different. So 0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:22.720 I like the thought of a twenty four team playoff 0:58:23.200 --> 0:58:26.760 because it provides those teams that maybe either lose a 0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:29.520 couple of games or just have an incredibly difficult schedule 0:58:29.800 --> 0:58:33.200 a chance to compete and I think and win in 0:58:33.240 --> 0:58:35.560 the postseason. I look at Iowa being one of those. 0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:37.920 I mean, last year went right to the wire with Indiana, 0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:42.320 right to the wire with Oregon and USC and Iowa 0:58:42.360 --> 0:58:45.040 State I've lost four games by fifteen points. If they 0:58:45.040 --> 0:58:46.360 were going to get in the tournament, they would have 0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:49.360 been a really tough out. And when you start to 0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:51.479 look at kind of how the field shook out last 0:58:51.520 --> 0:58:54.160 year with three weeks left, in the regular season, there 0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:58.240 were thirty five Power Conference teams with three losses or less, 0:58:58.840 --> 0:59:03.520 and essentially you took the top basically ten or nine 0:59:03.560 --> 0:59:06.520 out of the first twelve for the Power conferences and 0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:08.760 put them in the playoff because they really didn't fall 0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:11.800 and everybody else is just playing for a bowl game. Well, 0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:15.640 we're all now looking in a different way and so 0:59:16.280 --> 0:59:18.200 and then likewise, you get to the final weekend, there 0:59:18.240 --> 0:59:21.080 have been ten different games that not only would have 0:59:21.120 --> 0:59:24.480 been able to determine the field, but who was in 0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:26.320 the field if they would have gone in a twenty 0:59:26.320 --> 0:59:31.200 fourteen playoff last year. So you've had excitement, you add suspense, 0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:34.480 you add games that maybe would be in like Big 0:59:34.480 --> 0:59:36.480 ten country determining, Okay, who's going to go to Tampa 0:59:36.480 --> 0:59:39.720 and who's going to go to Charlotte Instead, now you're going, oh, 0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:42.600 these two seven and three teams are playing for the 0:59:42.680 --> 0:59:44.920 chance to go to the playoff, and people are going 0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:47.760 to go and watch and be more excited for it, 0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:50.240 and those programs have something to play for. So that's 0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:52.720 why I'm more of a proponent of it. I understand 0:59:52.760 --> 0:59:54.880 the past, I love it, I love hit the history 0:59:54.920 --> 0:59:58.160 of college football, but we've changed. I mean, it's not 0:59:58.200 --> 1:00:01.600 a bowl based system anymore, playoff based system. And I 1:00:01.640 --> 1:00:04.280 think having it in tears, eight teams get buys, eight 1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:06.960 teams get home games, eight teams get road games to 1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:09.880 start it off, I think that's a fair way to decide. 1:00:09.560 --> 1:00:13.960 It all, right, final things, Scott, Brian Haynes, Mike Shanahan. 1:00:14.120 --> 1:00:19.160 That's defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, and I you are they 1:00:19.240 --> 1:00:23.200 the two best coordinators on a team in college football? 1:00:23.920 --> 1:00:26.960 And then how much longer would you maintain they could 1:00:27.000 --> 1:00:30.920 stay in Bloomington before they end up getting sided for 1:00:31.200 --> 1:00:33.800 a head coaching jobs somewhere around college football. 1:00:35.480 --> 1:00:37.760 That's a great question. I think right now you have 1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:40.360 to say they're the best combination. You know, you could 1:00:40.400 --> 1:00:44.840 make different arguments over who's the best coordinator and whether 1:00:44.920 --> 1:00:47.240 or not Briant Haynes is better than say Phil Parker 1:00:48.280 --> 1:00:50.880 or somebody else Jim Knowles in the game. Then that 1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:53.320 those are fair discussions. But I think collectively they are 1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:56.040 the best. They proved it. I think the one thing 1:00:56.080 --> 1:01:00.440 everybody says about I you they gloss over the This 1:01:00.600 --> 1:01:03.680 was one of the most fundamentally sound teams on both 1:01:03.720 --> 1:01:05.560 sides of the line of scrimmage that we've ever seen. 1:01:05.600 --> 1:01:07.240 And that's one of the things you don't really see 1:01:07.280 --> 1:01:10.080 with coaches coming in like the way Sig did you 1:01:10.120 --> 1:01:12.200 see it more like what Kevin Wilson did, which was 1:01:12.280 --> 1:01:15.120 really developed the offense, but the defense wasn't there. He 1:01:15.240 --> 1:01:16.920 was able to do both parts because they were so 1:01:16.960 --> 1:01:20.760 fundamentally and developmentally sound. So as far as how long 1:01:20.800 --> 1:01:23.760 can they be there, you know, somebody is going to 1:01:23.800 --> 1:01:25.720 come in with a big offer, and it might be 1:01:25.800 --> 1:01:27.920 this year, maybe it's a year down the road, and 1:01:27.960 --> 1:01:29.640 it's going to be up to them to decide whether 1:01:29.720 --> 1:01:32.800 that's the type of you know, team that they want 1:01:32.840 --> 1:01:35.160 to you know, jump onto. Some people just want to 1:01:35.160 --> 1:01:37.560 be head coaches. Other people want to be head coaches 1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:39.720 with a chance to win because and most of the 1:01:39.760 --> 1:01:44.160 time when coaches leave it's because they weren't successful enough 1:01:44.640 --> 1:01:47.880 and so or should I say, you know, hiring new coach. 1:01:47.960 --> 1:01:50.480 So I think it's going to be up to them 1:01:50.600 --> 1:01:52.720 as to hey, can if I go to this job 1:01:52.760 --> 1:01:55.960 at this school, can I build it quickly through an 1:01:55.960 --> 1:01:58.040 il and all those funds? But I think they can 1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:02.640 be patient because now he has proven to be outstanding 1:02:03.360 --> 1:02:06.360 and uh, you know, and they're willing to pay, which 1:02:06.400 --> 1:02:09.280 I think was really important for them, both their coaching 1:02:09.320 --> 1:02:12.360 staff and through in il and why they're going to 1:02:12.400 --> 1:02:15.840 be successful not only last year this year, but also 1:02:15.920 --> 1:02:16.760 beyond that. 1:02:16.880 --> 1:02:20.760 Is Scott Doctrman of the Athletic National College Football Reporter, 1:02:20.880 --> 1:02:23.440 on the Andy Moore Automotive Group plotline. Scott, that was 1:02:23.520 --> 1:02:26.760 fantastic and we're going to utilize you, if you don't mind, 1:02:26.800 --> 1:02:29.440 as a valued resource over the course of this college 1:02:29.480 --> 1:02:33.040 football season. Man, that's good stuff. Thank you, thank you 1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:34.840 for having me ape. We don't mind, Are you okay 1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:37.439 with being the valued resource that we're looking for here? 1:02:38.400 --> 1:02:39.480 I can help you out you bet. 1:02:39.480 --> 1:02:42.160 I'll appreciate you. Ab out. Thank you, Scott, Appreciate you, 1:02:42.600 --> 1:02:45.480 Scott Doctorman. That's a shout out right there to Caleb 1:02:45.520 --> 1:02:47.560 who found Scott. That is well done. 1:02:47.760 --> 1:02:50.720 Shout out to Scott because I was awful with getting 1:02:50.760 --> 1:02:53.880 him on the zoom and he was very gracious. 1:02:54.120 --> 1:02:57.520 Well and Scott was good, right, he was great. Hey. 1:02:57.520 --> 1:03:01.320 By the way, So Mike Brown has done whatever he 1:03:01.360 --> 1:03:05.560 has done, the governor of Indiana to make sure that 1:03:05.720 --> 1:03:09.080 gas price is maintained and they don't elevate even more. 1:03:10.400 --> 1:03:13.040 I should mention, and he said, hey, you and I 1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:15.720 have to go out and drink sometime. I said, hey, 1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:18.880 you had me a drink. See, I don't give a 1:03:18.880 --> 1:03:24.600 crap about politics, you know me. I'll have cocktails and beers, 1:03:25.480 --> 1:03:31.480 Caleb with anybody. Anybody don't care about politics, but I 1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:38.600 do want free gas at some point. Actually he walked by, 1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:41.480 he was on with Hammer and Nigel, and we are 1:03:42.080 --> 1:03:45.360 right here where everybody enters after they walk right by 1:03:45.360 --> 1:03:49.480 the window. So that's why I brought all that up. 1:03:49.680 --> 1:03:53.240 But yeah, cocktails and beers, and he brought up the Snitzelbank. 1:03:53.280 --> 1:03:57.080 Obviously he's from Dubois County two, so I'm also from 1:03:57.160 --> 1:04:00.480 southern Indiana. He brought up the Snitzelbank and shout out 1:04:00.480 --> 1:04:03.120 to Allen and the NINTA Bank. You know, I love that. 1:04:03.200 --> 1:04:05.560 But I don't know if people in and around Jasper, 1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:09.360 if you're from Jasper, have you ever been to Snaps. 1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:14.160 Snaps is just a little bit north of the Snitzer Bank. 1:04:15.360 --> 1:04:17.640 Great place to go. You can get beer st dines 1:04:17.680 --> 1:04:20.919 on the wall, your own beer styne on the wall 1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:27.920 of Snaps. Plus they have this they have Ahi tuna 1:04:27.960 --> 1:04:31.840 on the menu. Buddy, what about you and ahi tuna. 1:04:32.200 --> 1:04:35.160 I can't say I'm too well versed in there. 1:04:35.040 --> 1:04:36.640 But one of these days you will. 1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:37.760 I would love to try. 1:04:38.000 --> 1:04:42.160 If you hang with me long enough, you will let 1:04:42.200 --> 1:04:49.720 me tell you love it.
