1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I am largely ignorant and naive to a number of

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: things about real life. I'm the first to admit it.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: There are a lot of areas where you know, other

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: people have normal lives and per se. You know, Eddie,

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: the reality is this, and I think that we have

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: to admit this. You know, you and I live in

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say like we don't live necessarily.

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: We live AI lives, right. We don't go in and

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: punch a time clock. We're not like getting callouses on

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: our hands and we're not having to get up and

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, get the blood flowing for it eight to

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: five and then get like the one in the afternoon

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: kind of energy pickup or whatever to carry through after

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: a long boring meeting or zoom meeting or whatever else.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: We have.

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Our jobs are fun, right, you know, we have fun

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: every day. It's pretty lighthearted. I'm not saying it's the

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: easiest thing every single day, but for the most part,

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, we are a little bit like naive as

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: to the way the real world works on a day

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: to day. So with that said, I am genuinely courteous

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: to this, curious to this because I do not know

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: it's a Wednesday. That feels like a Friday because tomorrow

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: being a holiday, and then ninety nine percent of the

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: world is off on Friday, so you know you're getting

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: ready for a long weekend. It's a wonderful time of year,

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: people are traveling, whatever else. My question for most people

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: is this, are people working today or is it kind

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: of the under the guides of if you're getting a

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: four day weekend, you go ahead and make it five? Like,

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: are people punting on the day from a work standpoint

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: today or they just kind of tying up a few

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: loose ends before they hit the road for planes, trains,

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: and automobiles traveling to family for Thanksgiving?

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: Do we know what's your guests? My only friend, as

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: you know, his name is Alec. I believe he has

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: so his job, he works Monday through Friday, and in

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: order to not work on Thanksgiving, he has to double

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: up his workday between today and Friday, so he has

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: to split his Thursday duties between today and Friday, so

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: he's doing a little bit more so he only gets

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: one day off. Yes, wow, okay.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm curious and we should do like the text

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: line roll call two three nine ten seventy is the

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: text line, or you can always text my phone at

Speaker 1: for today until the better part of the afternoon. And

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the reason I say it is because you know, I

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: is so centered around sports and family and just everything

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: that is great about being a good old American. Right,

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: and good afternoon to you on this Wednesday that feels

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: like a Friday. My name is Jake Quarry. You just

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: heard the voice of Eddie Garrison. It is Querying Company

59
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: here on ninety three five and one oh seven five

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: the fan. I just got back from on my way in.

61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: You having headphone issues?

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: I am okay, just got back from I stopped by

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: the Drumstick Dash packet pickup. I am excited for tomorrow

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: morning to be able to run the Drumstick Dash. For

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: those of you who are doing it, It's going to

66
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: be chilly, but it's going to be a great event

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: and I want to thank Concerts for a Cause, which

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: is Bruce Kidd, who is just a tremendous guy with

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: a heart bigger than the State of Indiana for making

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: a donation to the Drumstick Dash and to Wheeler Mission

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: because this is a fundraising effort and we are moving

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: our feet so others can eat. And Bruce Kidd, who

73
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: raises money through Concerts for a Cause that then he

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: distributes to different charities around town. When I was talking

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: about it, reached out to me and said, you know what,

76
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: I've got a check for you. I want to present that,

77
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and so I just delivered that to Wheeler Mission and

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: the Drumstick Dash tomorrow will continue to raise that money.

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: And then of course it is family time and football

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: time and the weekend that is upon us with the

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: Bucket Game and everything going on, culminating with the Colts

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: in the Houston Texans coming up on Sunday. But plenty

83
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: to talk about, plenty to talk about over the course

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: of today and the weekend in sports. And let's begin

85
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: with what happened last night at Assembly Hall. The I'm

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: telling you right now, and I'm not telling you anything

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: that people here don't already know or weren't hopeful towards

88
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: or assuming. But I think Indiana is pretty good. I

89
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: mean they're ranked now, obviously that's good rankings. What does

90
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: it mean in you know, before November. You don't really know.

91
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: But the couple of things that I've heard about the

92
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: way that Indiana has prepared themselves for this season. I

93
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: know We've talked about it with Don Fisher and I've

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: mentioned it on the show before. But when Indiana made

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: their their coaching higher and went out and got Darren

96
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Devrees from West Virginia, the we didn't know a lot

97
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: about him other than the fact that he has you know,

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: his son is a great player, had been a Conference

99
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Player of the Year before going to West Virginia. Last year.

100
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Tucker Devrees sat out the vast majority of the year

101
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: for West Virginia, which allowed him another year of eligibility.

102
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: And people in West Virginia are upset about it because

103
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: of the fact that they look at it and they say,

104
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Wait a minute. When Scott Wilson said

105
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: that Darren Devrees first got on their radar when Indiana

106
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: saw West Virginia playing in a tournament last year this

107
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: time of year, and then it was After that, de

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: Tucker to Frees was injured and he missed the rest

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: of the year, and then he had eligibility to go

110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: with his dad to Indiana. Wait a minute, West Virginia

111
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: fans all up in arms about it, right, And if

112
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: you're a West Virginia basketball fan and you look at

113
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, the good and the bad, you take it.

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Then you give away the bad being that you lose

115
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: your coach and a really marquee player to Indiana from

116
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: the West Virginia basketball standpoint, in the good being that

117
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the other time that your basketball program intersected with or

118
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: intertwined with a part of Indiana basketball, you dodged a

119
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: bullet big time in getting yourself into what would have

120
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: been a complete disaster. But this time you so that

121
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: was probably good for West Virginia in the overall grand

122
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: ski of things, and this time they're disappointed by it.

123
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: But Darren debries, what we knew when he took the

124
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: Indiana job was that he was going to have to

125
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: rebuild this roster. And then in addition to rebuilding the roster,

126
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: the narrative was, or the thought process was at West

127
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Virginia that his team, while it was right on the

128
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: break of the NCAA tournament. They are one that kept

129
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: themselves in every game, and they were pretty disciplined in

130
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: the way that they played. And that looks to be

131
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: the case. I watched last night in that game with

132
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Kansas State, and it did kind of feel like, and

133
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: we don't know.

134
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: I was there?

135
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Did you go down?

136
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: I did go down? Well, you never mentioned that you

137
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: were going down there. Well, I didn't get tickets until

138
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: probably five o'clock. Really, yeah, Now, how often have you

139
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: been to Assembly Hall? I think it was my first

140
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: game in like four years? When did this happen? I

141
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: hate to say this, not to be Debbie Downer here,

142
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 3: but I'm still like under the thought process that every

143
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: single game of Indiana University basketball is a sold out game.

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't care whether to play an Alkhorn State or Kentucky.

145
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: You know, up in the balcony, the nosebleed seats, everything

146
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: else packed all the way through. And yet I saw

147
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: some of the camera angles yesterday and there were people

148
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: in the balcony last night.

149
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: I guess right, but it still was not sold.

150
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: Out, right?

151
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: No?

152
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean I thought there was a good turnout for

153
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: a you know, a think for a break game. Like

154
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: no students were there. Fair I think a point. I

155
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: thought it was a good turnout.

156
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: I think Kansas State is also decent, and it remains

157
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: to be seen what kind of a team Kansas State's

158
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: going to be. But it felt last night last night

159
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: for Indiana felt like a game when I was watching

160
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: it where I thought to myself, this feels like a

161
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: first or second round matchup in the NCAA tournament. You know,

162
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: that's the kind of team that if Indiana has a

163
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: really good year and then become a sixth seed or

164
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: a five seed, that you could see them playing a

165
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: team like Kansas State, either in the first round of

166
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: the tournament, you know, as at eleven, or in the

167
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: second round of Kansas State pulled an upset and now

168
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, it was a solid game in Kansas State.

169
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: The thing that was most impressive to me about Indiana

170
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: was this, and this is the thing that I've heard

171
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: about Darren Devrees and that Indiana team and the way

172
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: that he's put it together. That roster, as we talked

173
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: about with Don Fisher, is a bunch of new guys

174
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: that have never played with one another, and it's a

175
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: bunch of new guys that Indiana fans are unfamiliar with,

176
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: but their awareness of where each other are on the floor,

177
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: they look like they've played together for a very long time.

178
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: And that comes down to this what I've heard and

179
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: that from people I know that have gone to a

180
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: lot of practices down there, that Darren devrees in his

181
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: practice with that team is extremely deliberate that their practices

182
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: are super intense. Their practices are very laser focused. There

183
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: are very few minutes that are wasted. There's not a

184
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: lot of standing around. It is let's go boom, boom boom,

185
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: and everything has every minute has a purpose in a design.

186
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: And from my understanding, and again I'm not down there

187
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: at these practices, but I'm going by what people who

188
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: for I mean, I had somebody who played for Bob

189
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Knight tell me. Look, I've been to like six practices

190
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: so far, and they are more intense than the most

191
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: intense practices we had under Bob Knight and mostly focused

192
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: on the defensive end of things and the awareness defensively

193
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: of just being up on somebody helping, et cetera. And

194
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: if you watch that game last night, Kansas State is

195
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: a to this point one of the most high powered

196
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: offensive teams in the country. PJ. Haggerty is a volume score,

197
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: a volume score, and I thought last night, like even CJ. Jones,

198
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, he had a couple of threes that you

199
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: felt like, again a rhythm shooter, right, And yet every

200
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: time that Kansas State looked like in a particular in

201
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: the early part of that game at year were there,

202
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: you saw it each time Kansas State was able to

203
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: once it got down what twenty four, and then they

204
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: closed it down to a four point game, I think

205
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: it was four or two point game. Indiana was then

206
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: able to pull away from there. And the reason they

207
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: were able to do it I was so impressed by.

208
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know that you can look at the

209
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: numbers and say, you know, they limited them to forty

210
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: two percent shooting. Okay, they limited them to forty percent

211
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: three point shooting. Those are still good numbers. But Indiana

212
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: and their perimeter defense and their ability to as Kansas

213
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: State was rotating and doing other things with their their

214
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: spacing on the floor, I thought Indiana's perimeter defense was

215
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: so sound that they sealed off the middle where Kansas

216
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: State then and they were able to hit shots was

217
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: Kansas State. But they weren't able to find offensive balance

218
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: throughout that game because Indiana defensively was so good. And

219
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: then on the offensive side of things, for Indiana, you're

220
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna take any game where if you are when you

221
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: get a game Devrees and Wilkerson are combining for eight

222
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: field goals in the game, and you still get twenty

223
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: one from Reed Bailey and you get offensive production elsewhere.

224
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Sisley was really good last night. And the guy that

225
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: I really like and I mentioned last week, I think

226
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: that I thought was going to be a guy that

227
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: was going to play his way into being a very

228
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: popular Indiana basketball player is Tayton Connorway. I just think

229
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: he brings a speed and an energy about him that

230
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: also kind of carries and pushes Indiana. But you could

231
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: see last night for Indiana in the way that they

232
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: play that Again, offensively, they have numerous ways in which

233
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: they can score, but defensively they you are not going

234
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: to have many teams that are going to get a

235
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: lot of Now, Kansas State given credit, they hit contested shots.

236
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean they but and they created for themselves at

237
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: times some open looks, but not a lot of them.

238
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: I thought, Eddie, and you tell me you were there.

239
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I thought Indiana defensively was very impressive.

240
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: I thought they were very good on the perimeter. Like

241
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 3: you said, they took away a lot of the dribble

242
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: drive penetration because when you look at just kind of

243
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: like the numbers from PJ. Haggerty, He's not a three

244
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: point shooter by any means. He doesn't put up a

245
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: ton of shots. I think the most he put up

246
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: in a game with seven, and he had to go

247
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: in that night, so why not throw up a couple

248
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: of heat checks and yet for Kansas State, but they

249
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: did a really good job of cutting him off so

250
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: he couldn't get into the lane to his mid range

251
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: game because that's where a lot of his scoring came from.

252
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: And then especially in the second half, he started to

253
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 3: get it going late, but at that point it was

254
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: just a one man show for Kansas State by the

255
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: time Haggerdy started getting, you know, his fair share of

256
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: buckets toward the end. The one concern I still have

257
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: about this team, Jake, is when they get into Big

258
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: Ten play, are they going to be able to match

259
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: the physicality of some of these other teams. Are they

260
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: going to be able to match the physicality of Purdue

261
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: with Trey Coffman ran in Oscar cluff Like, that's the

262
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: big question I have about them as conference play, you

263
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: know approaches. Are they going to be able to compete

264
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: enough on the glass to prevent teams from getting second

265
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: in third chances? And are they going to be able

266
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: to sustain this level of three point shooting that they.

267
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Have had, I mean so far in the non conference.

268
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: The physicality part of it as it goes against Purdue

269
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: is fair. Except for that, then you ask yourself, well,

270
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: how many people are it's you know what I mean?

271
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if you want to go with other

272
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: teams in the Big Ten, I get it. But with Purdue,

273
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Eddie, Purdue's balance in terms of what Purdue

274
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: can do. You want to talk about a team that

275
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: can score in so many different ways. If you are

276
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: playing Purdue, you look at it and you go, okay,

277
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: we've got to take away the block for Trey Kaufman

278
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: ren Okay, fine, So then you double them over and

279
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: then as you mentioned, like you know Oscar clubs on

280
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: the other side, we're going to take away Brayden Smith

281
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: and his penetration. Okay, fine, then he's just going to

282
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: back out and then cross over to Fletcher Lawyer. We're

283
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: going to take away you know, they have so many

284
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: different areas where they can score in ways that they

285
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: can score. I mean, Purdue has so many different identities

286
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: that they can be and because of the their experience,

287
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: they are able to be any of those comfortably on

288
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: any given night. But I point taken on Indiana, but

289
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I feel like, Eddie, this IU basketball team this year

290
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: is going to be kind of like the New England Patriots.

291
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: And the point of We're going to continue to say

292
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: to ourselves they're playing well and they have a good record,

293
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: but I'm still not sold yet. And how far do

294
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: you go into it of saying that before you finally

295
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: just say to yourself, you know what, maybe they're just

296
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: actually good. Maybe they're just actually good. Right now, football

297
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: side of things, Indiana Purdue Bucket game Friday night, the

298
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: one hundredth variation of this. Now, these two teams have

299
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: played one hundred and twenty seven years, but this one

300
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: hundred year for the bucket itself. I did find it peculiar.

301
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: And Eddie, I'll have you look this up because I

302
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: don't have the answer in front of me. Maybe you've

303
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: already looked this up, and you're a step ahead of me.

304
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: But I found it curious that there was an article

305
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: written about the fact that this is the one hundredth

306
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: game of the Old Oaken Bucket. It's the one hundredth

307
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: version of the Old Oak and Bucket, and this long

308
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: article about the history of the bucket and the ebb

309
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: and flow of it. And it's only the third time

310
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: that the Bucket game has featured an Indiana team ranked

311
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: in the top five. The other was in the forties

312
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: and the sixties, So the first time in over fifty years,

313
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And the ebb and

314
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: flow of this rivalry you had, it has been seldom

315
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: that both teams were really good at the same time.

316
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Purdue has obviously had more eras of very good, too

317
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: great teams than has Indiana. The cradle of quarterbacks, you know,

318
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: Lynn Dawson and Mark Herrman and Jim Everett and Drew Brees,

319
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: and you know, the list goes on and on right

320
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: of great quarterbacks that have played at Purdue and for

321
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: Indiana the periods you know, the Bill Mallory era, pretty

322
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: darn competent. Kevin Wilson era not bad, but never really

323
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: broke through. And probably the best period in terms of

324
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: a competitiveness between these two teams would be like coming

325
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: out of the Mallory era and then into the Tiller

326
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: era in terms of a solid standing for both programs.

327
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: But what.

328
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: I was miffed by, and I could have looked this up,

329
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: what is the record of the two teams in the

330
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: Bucket game? There's this long article, And wouldn't that be

331
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: the first question you'd ask if this is the one

332
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: hundredth game, Like it was fascinating to me the Monon

333
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: Bell Game, if I'm not mistaken when the Monon Bell

334
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: Game had its one hundredth version of it. At that time,

335
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: it literally was like forty seven forty seven and six

336
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: was the career record. I mean, it was dead even now.

337
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess, do you happen to have before you

338
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: the record of the old Oaken Bucket Eddie?

339
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 3: I do.

340
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that in the old Oaken Bucket

341
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: games that it is now? I don't think it would be.

342
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Purdue's got to be have the advantage here, right,

343
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: that would be correct? Is it a sizable advantage or

344
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: is it just like, Okay, like if you just showed

345
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: these numbers to somebody from Fresno, California that had no

346
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: concept of Indiana and Purdue football, would they immediately look

347
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: at it and say, yeah, one of these two programs

348
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: has really been bad.

349
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 3: Or would they say that looks pretty even. One of

350
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: these two programs looks bad. Fifty eight to forty two,

351
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: you're not even close. Seventy two to twenty eight, you're

352
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 3: getting closer seventy seven twenty three. So the all time series,

353
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 3: Purdue leads seventy seven, forty three and six.

354
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Okay.

355
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: In terms of just the bucket game itself, Purdue is

356
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: sixty three thirty three and three.

357
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: Okay. Who allows a tie in the bucket game?

358
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure that was back before lights were at fields.

359
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: You know, understood, But I mean you race afterwards, You

360
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: race to the wagon to see who wins. Right, you

361
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: can't have a tie in the bucket game. You can't.

362
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: It's going to be I'm going to right now offer

363
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: a traffic report for Friday. Oh really, the game kicks

364
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: at what time on Friday? In the bucket game? That's

365
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: a great question. I was trying to figure out when

366
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: the last time they tied was that's also a good

367
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: question seven thirty. If it's a seven thirty kick, I'm

368
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: going to say right now that there is going to

369
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: be a caravan, a se a NonStop parade.

370
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: November twenty second, nineteen fifty eight tied. What was the

371
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: day on Medigan November twenty second, nineteen fifty eight, sixty

372
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: first meeting on the fiftieth anniversary of that.

373
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: Game, no one was talking about it. I can tell

374
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: you that there's going to be a sea of red

375
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: heading up. I said X nine around for sixty five

376
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: on the west side and straight up sixty five because

377
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: I've looked online and Purdue fans that have tickets that

378
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: the weather's not going to be great. Don't get me wrong,

379
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: but Purdue fans with tickets to that game are selling

380
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: them and Indiana fans are gobbling them up. That is

381
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: going to be a de facto almost home game for Indiana.

382
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: The disparity in terms of the win percentage for Purdue

383
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: in the time of the Bucket game is going to

384
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: be probably not that representative of the amount of fans

385
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: from Indiana there, but for an away game, it is

386
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: going to be a huge showing for Indiana huge, probably

387
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty for a game at Ross aid. You

388
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: know that's saying something. The college football playoffs yesterday were

389
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: announced again and this note today Miami. Thing's interesting. Could

390
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: it be when it comes down to it, after it's

391
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: all said and done, that only one of those two

392
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: is getting get in? I thought, personally, and I realize

393
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: that they have two losses, but Notre Dame at nine again,

394
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: I guess you look at it and you go, well,

395
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: who would you put them in front of at this point?

396
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: But doesn't it feel like Notre Dame is one of

397
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: the five to seven best teams in college football right now?

398
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: If you were to survey, whether it's Ryan Day or

399
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti, if you were to survey and ask, okay,

400
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: you've got to open in the playoff, and you've got

401
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to choose between Texas Tech, Oregon, Oll Miss or Notre Dame.

402
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: Wouldn't they all go with somebody or other than Notre Dame?

403
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: I would probably, especially if it'll Miss doesn't have lank Kiffen.

404
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, have you seen that?

405
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: Well?

406
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: I know that there's there's what is there? Was there

407
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: something I missed this morning? If he elects to not well,

408
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: of course, then he won't coach the college football player. Yeah,

409
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be the bill freed to treatment. I

410
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: get that. And wasn't there a deadline? I thought there

411
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: was a deadline already for lak I'll be honest, I've

412
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: kind of I'm not going to tune out is the

413
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: wrong word, but Lane Kiffin news. And I don't dislike

414
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. You know, he's fine. And I went to

415
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: a game last year at the Grove and tailgated and

416
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: all that old miss It was cool. But there always

417
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: seems to be drama around Lane Kiffen and what's he

418
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: going to do? What's he not going to do? In

419
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: the eleventh hour leave of Tennessee and you know, the

420
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: handed a job at a young age in the NFL

421
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: and everything else that After a while, Lane Kiffen feels

422
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: like the football coaching version of Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

423
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: Every year it's like, well, I got to figure out

424
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do and where I'm going to be

425
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: next year, and it's like, dude, you're under contract. What

426
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: are we doing here? And I know that and I

427
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: don't even know this Eddie again almost almost blissfully ignorant

428
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: by choice here Lane Kiffin. The last that I knew

429
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Lane kiffen was Lockstock and Barrel, the choice that was

430
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: going to be at Florida, And then LSU came into play.

431
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: Which school is it that we assume that he is

432
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: like narrowing in on the Tigers LSU? Which would you

433
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: rather take? Ls? If you're LSU, would you rather have

434
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly or Lane Kiffin?

435
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: I think you would rather have Lane Kiffin. On personality

436
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: you probably would well. And the fact that he knows

437
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 3: how to win games, Okay, big games? You mean does

438
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: he though? I mean he's had it Ole Miss right there,

439
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 3: the thick of it, each of the last I don't

440
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: know years. I mean, I understood, But when's the last

441
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: time old Miss went into a game. You're like, this

442
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: is a massive game for Old Miss and then they win?

443
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 3: I mean not, you get what I'm saying. I do.

444
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: I like him, I don't dislike him. But at the

445
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: same time, it seems like.

446
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: When they beat LSU when LSU was still number four

447
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: earlier this year.

448
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then LSU spiraled from there, right, yeah, absolutely

449
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: spiral the beat Oklahoma. All right, Colts Texans. We're gonna

450
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: get into that over the course of today, but we

451
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: got a loaded show. High school football State finals weekend

452
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: is upon us. The holiday season in terms of helping

453
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: out others is upon us. We're going to talk about

454
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: that as well, and Joela Erickson will join us in

455
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: the two o'clock hour. Get us up to speed on

456
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: where the Colts stand from a health standpoint. With a massive,

457
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: massive showdown with the Houston Texans coming to Lucas Oyle Stadium,

458
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: it does not get any bigger. I was at the

459
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: packet pick up today for the Drumstick Dash and somebody

460
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: said to me, Jake, it feels like this is a

461
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: boulder in the stream game on their season, and I said,

462
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: I could not agree more. If they lose to Houston,

463
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: then it does become a little bit white knuckle for

464
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: the Colts. And that defense is stout and it's something

465
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: that we need to discuss and we will over the

466
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: course of today. But when we come back talking about

467
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: what we were talking about early or not only the

468
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: old Oaken Bucket game, but also what Indiana did last night,

469
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: Peaks dot Com Jeff rab John's Rabbie joins us next.

470
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: Always interesting to see the way schedules are now built

471
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: in college basketball, notably college football as well. There's so

472
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: much discussion about you know, last week was the week

473
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: in the SEC, and you know Clemson as well, Like

474
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know it's Firman on the schedule,

475
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: and it's Chattanooga on the schedule this late in the year.

476
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: And from a basketball standpoint, in the BAC and in

477
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: the old way it was, you would play your pre

478
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: conference games and then as soon as the conference began, boom,

479
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: that was all you did. Not the case for Indiana.

480
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: They will begin here within a week in the Big

481
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: Ten at Minnesota is upcoming on December third, but they

482
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: had Bethune Cookman before then, and then sprinkled in there

483
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: you got Chicago State in Siena, but two big ones

484
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: Louisville and Kentucky. Indiana a win last night at the

485
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: Assembly Hall. Joining us now on the Java House, Peel

486
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: and Poor guests Line a friend of the show, Jeffrab

487
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Johns from peags dot com joining us and Rab. I'll

488
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: begin with this when you look at where Darren Devrees's

489
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: group is so far, and I think that they have

490
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: been very impressive. And these are guys that we were

491
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: unfamiliar with when they arrived in Bloomington. What's still for

492
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: you is a question mark. What is one area in

493
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: terms of either stylistically or effectiveness that you have wondered

494
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: about with Indiana that you find yourself still uncertain as

495
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: to its answer.

496
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 6: I think rebounding against bigger players, bigger front lines is

497
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 6: the number one question for me, I think for the season,

498
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 6: and I think it's something that is going to be

499
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 6: the number one question because you just don't have you

500
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 6: overwhelming size inside, so you're going to need light nights

501
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 6: like they had last night against Kansas State, where everybody

502
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 6: goes in and blocks that block out blocks out. You know,

503
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 6: sometimes when you give up offensive rebounds, sometimes it's not

504
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 6: the center's fault. Sometimes it's not your foeman's fault. Sometimes

505
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 6: your guards and wings didn't block out and the other

506
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 6: team is sent three instead of two and the six

507
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 6: to four you know wing went in and got one.

508
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 6: So it's not always about size. It sometimes it is

509
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 6: about wingspan, and you know, he doesn't have guys who

510
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 6: are going to magically grow here in the next three weeks.

511
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 6: But I think you know, rebounding keeping teams and for

512
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 6: the most part, defensive rebounding, keeping teams off the offensive class.

513
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 6: I think that's going to be something that you know,

514
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 6: you look at and say, Okay, what can pushing you

515
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 6: in to another level if they can keep teams off

516
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 6: the offensive class. You know, they gave up double figure

517
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 6: offensive rebounds to linden Wood, which you had said, you know,

518
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 6: you can't do, but it happened in a twenty point win.

519
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 6: So it's harmless in a way. In fact, it's completely

520
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 6: harmless as far as your metrics go. Then you come

521
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 6: back against Kansas State and what do they do. It's

522
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 6: a whole lot better. They block out. They only gave

523
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 6: up gave up eight offensive rebounds and a couple of

524
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 6: those came in the lake going where you know the

525
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 6: outcome was decided. You had you know, backups walk ons

526
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 6: on the floor. So but I think for me, I

527
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 6: love the shooting that loved the ball move and I

528
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 6: love the style of play. It's such a smart style play.

529
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 6: You know, they they really space the floor. Yeah, you're

530
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 6: gonna have shot nights when the shots don't always go in,

531
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 6: but you know that tricks favor the teams that shoot

532
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 6: more threes. If you have three point shooters, So they

533
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 6: need to shoot more threes, not less. I mean they

534
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 6: need games last night where it's okay, boys go fire

535
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 6: it away, thirty three threes. Good next time. I won't

536
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 6: try to get up thirty five. Now, that's not gonna

537
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 6: be every night. But overall, when you're built to really

538
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 6: make threes and you've got multiple guys who can shoot

539
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 6: the percentages, how you has you need to be getting

540
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 6: up three. So I like everything. I think the big

541
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 6: question is a good question you asked by the way,

542
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 6: I think it's you know, rebounding, specifically defensive rebounding.

543
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Do you think Jeff the you know, Kansas State is

544
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: like Indiana in the fact that that is a team

545
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: that you know, I was listening to fishing the pregame

546
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: and when he's doing the introductions with each guy, you

547
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: know he used to be he just lists the hometown.

548
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: Now he lists there the previous school, right and for

549
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: Kansas State also all guys that are new to one another.

550
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: But do you believe that at the end of the

551
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: year that that is a win they got last night

552
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: that will go in there positive win column in terms

553
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: of NCAA seating and resume.

554
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 6: I mean it doesn't hurt you. How much is it

555
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 6: going to help you, I think is a question. So

556
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 6: I think that's going to depend upon and if Kansas

557
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 6: State's an NCAA tournament team or not. If they're an

558
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 6: nc tournament team, then it does help you because, as

559
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 6: you know, wins against NCAA tournament teams is you know,

560
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 6: part of the whole selection Sunday question. So that that

561
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 6: certainly would would be a big positive. But I think

562
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 6: the you know, Kansas State, if they're not going to

563
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 6: defend you know, really at all, I think they may.

564
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: Be in for a tough season.

565
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 6: And PJ. Haggarty is really talented, but he's you know,

566
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 6: these guys who you know, four schools in four years,

567
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 6: five schools in five years. You kind of look at

568
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 6: him and you're like, Okay, how much of this is

569
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 6: about winning? And I'm not questioning PJ. I don't know

570
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 6: PJ at all. I'm just in general, it's going to

571
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 6: be interesting to look as we start to get some

572
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 6: actual metrics, like, okay, teams had guys who were on

573
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 6: their fourth school in four years, and that player elevate

574
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 6: that program or not didn't really change anything.

575
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 4: We don't have enough daddy yet.

576
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 6: But it's going to be an interesting But Indian really

577
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 6: needs Kansas State to make the NCAA tournament. That's that's

578
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 6: what they really need. I mean, if they don't, it

579
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 6: doesn't hurt you, but it just doesn't help you.

580
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: Who is the player for Indiana? Jeff rab John's my

581
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: guest job a house peeling poor gustline peaks dot com,

582
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: where you can always read his coverage of Indiana basketball.

583
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: We know, obviously Wilkerson in Devrees are scorers, and they're

584
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: shooters in particular, Jeff, I mean we know this, right.

585
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: They get they get hot, either one of them, you

586
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: got to feed them. But is there somebody other than

587
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: those two that you feel like might be the most

588
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: important for Indiana in terms of their offensive pace and

589
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: somebody that can I have somebody in mind here, but

590
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious if there's anybody that jumps out at you,

591
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: somebody that can kind of be a bell cow offensive

592
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: glue player that determines whether Indiana is going to play

593
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: a fast pace or also have a tendency to slow

594
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: down and go into a half court.

595
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, well there would be two for me, but

596
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 6: and they're very different, and they're equal for me. So

597
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna cheat and I'm gonna I'm gonna

598
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 6: give you two. You asked for one, I'm gonna I'm

599
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: gonna cheat and give you two. Read Bailey and taken Conorway.

600
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 6: Read Bailey, because you know, when you look at lineups,

601
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 6: it's always good to keep in mind, it's not just

602
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 6: the five best players, it's the five who function together

603
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: the best. Maximize what a team is built today. What's

604
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 6: this team built to do? Make threes? So you've got

605
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 6: to get threes for the Marl Wilkerson interegeti of res.

606
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 6: But you also have to keep the ball moving, so

607
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 6: you create changes like they did last night for like

608
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 6: a Connor Enright who had two May threes, for Trent

609
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 6: Sisley who had another May three. For Trent Sissly to

610
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 6: be able to tear off down the court like he

611
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 6: can because he's got legitimate speed and go steal you

612
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 6: a fast break. The ball has to move. So who's

613
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: the best player, best passer on the team among the

614
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 6: tall guys Read Bailey, And it's not really all that close.

615
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 6: You know, Bailey's assists rate is number nine in the

616
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 6: country among players six foot ten or taller, so you

617
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 6: have if you have a team built to take threes

618
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 6: and then needs the ball. Reed Bailey's really really helpful pluts,

619
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 6: you know, and Red Bailey's trainer and Retex last night.

620
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 6: I got to give Jason credit for reminding you about this.

621
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 6: Look at Read's numbers. He excels in high foul games

622
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 6: because he's very good at drawing fouls and he makes

623
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 6: free throws. You know, I IU beats a power four

624
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: team last night, and Red Bailey's leading scorer. He was

625
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 6: really good in the second half in particular scoring, but

626
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 6: he's just good moving the ball the first half. So

627
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 6: that you know, there are really multiple reasons why Bailey

628
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 6: can be an X factor at time, as long as

629
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 6: people keep in mind, this is not a post player. Okay,

630
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 6: I don't care if you put a little C for

631
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 6: center next to his name in the lineups. He's not

632
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 6: a post player. His best he's in point four, but

633
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 6: he can do some other things. But then, taken Conorway,

634
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 6: because his ability to really play with such speed and

635
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 6: really turn the corner and really get into the wing,

636
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: he's the only guy that IU has who has legit explosion.

637
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 6: The rest of them have some quickness. You know, I

638
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 6: love sicily to speed me open open floor. But as

639
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 6: far as actual explosion, burst to the mall, it's taken Connorway.

640
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 6: He can actually take them to a different level as

641
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 6: far as speed. If you're talking about like how fast

642
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 6: you play Taste of Play, it's tatn Connorway because, like

643
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 6: you know, I made the joke last night. They're like,

644
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 6: it's almost like that Fast and Furious video game. Okay,

645
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 6: like you know when when you're coming around the corner

646
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 6: and you punch the nitrous button through.

647
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: Them, No, no question anybody else. You know, it's funny, Jeff, because.

648
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 6: You can shoot well enough, like two for seven from

649
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 6: last night from three Hey, you know you to take it.

650
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 7: You'd love three for seven.

651
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 6: But it's not like he's just a black hole.

652
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody a couple of weeks ago

653
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: that said, look, Jake, you're going to hear a lot

654
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: about you know, obviously Derees and Wilkerson and Bailey for

655
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: that matter, and they're like, by the end of the year,

656
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: Conaway is going to be a guy that Indiana fans

657
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: love because of just exactly what you're talking about right now.

658
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: The other guy, and I'm curious of this Trent Sisly.

659
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: My initial reaction in Jeff rab John's I want you

660
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: to tell me if I'm wrong on this, My initial

661
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: reaction to Trent Sisly is that he is a really

662
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: valuable player, not just because of his agent, because you're

663
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: going to have him for a while, but you know, theoretically,

664
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: but also because to me he seems like the most

665
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: schematic million of all of them. In other words, he

666
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: is a guide that depending on which style you want

667
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: to go with or what matchup offensively you need to

668
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: go to, over the course of the Big ten, he

669
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: can play for you in different ways and with different

670
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: combinations on the floor and change his operating area and

671
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: be equally effective whether you're going fast, slow, et cetera. Now,

672
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: am I giving him way too much credit there?

673
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 6: No, I think you're spout on. I think you're about

674
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 6: on now with the caveat that he is a freshman,

675
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 6: a good freshman, and if you throw him really out

676
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 6: on the wing against a twenty three year old small forward,

677
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 6: he's had a lot of wiggle. That's going to be

678
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 6: a struggle. But that's okay. It's okay for freshmen that

679
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 6: has some struggles. I love what Trent Sisley is doing.

680
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 6: I love the fact that for his senior year in

681
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 6: high school he chased competition. And I don't mean that

682
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 6: he left his high school. I mean that he chased

683
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 6: competition and went to a major prep school program for

684
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 6: the idea that I want to be challenged every day

685
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 6: in practice.

686
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: This is a kid who.

687
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 6: Runs to competition. And you and I have been around

688
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 6: long enough to see athletes as they come up. There's

689
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 6: the guys who run too competition, and there's the guys

690
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 6: who runs from competition, pat their stats well, transistently went

691
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 6: down to Mont Vert, took on a very difficult challenge

692
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 6: and embraced competition. And his numbers were probably half what

693
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 6: they could have been at a traditional high school. But

694
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 6: he didn't care about numbers, kid about getting better. And

695
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 6: what happened he got better. His motor has always been phenomenal.

696
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 6: His motor was phenomenal at Heritage Hills, it was phenomenal

697
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 6: for Indian Elite and AAU, It was outstanding at Mont Verd.

698
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 6: You gotta remember this is a guy who was team

699
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 6: MVP at a national front powerhouse like mont Vert. Okay,

700
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 6: that's how well and how hard. Francisci played and competed

701
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 6: as a senior in high school. He really did a

702
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 6: good job. And now he's coming in and we heard

703
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 6: all summer, you know, hey, man, Sis's really competing.

704
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 4: Hey.

705
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 6: And by the time we got to like the end

706
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 6: of JA and you know, AU is kind of over

707
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 6: and the customers turn to get back into working with

708
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 6: the players. We heard Man says he's going to get

709
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 6: some real minutes and I remember being told that and

710
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm just making sure you're telling me

711
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 6: against you know, power flour teams, not against the batons,

712
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 6: And they were like, no, right, this is going to play.

713
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 6: Getting ready to see transistently come off the bens early

714
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 6: and get real minutes against real opponents. He you know,

715
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 6: he can step out and make that three. We saw

716
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 6: him won the floor. You know, he's got legit speed.

717
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 6: I think sometimes you know, if people make assumptions and

718
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 6: like trans Sisley, he's got speed so he can get

719
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 6: down the floor. You know, he's probably not quite cody'szeller Ish,

720
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 6: but he's he's like that. You know, he could beat

721
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 6: his man down the floor. And I you passed as

722
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 6: the ball well and they they look you know, those

723
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 6: hit aheads are part of what they're trying to do.

724
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 6: He can go into rebound. He will go in rebound.

725
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 6: He had to play center last year at times, uh

726
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 6: for for the verd team, So he's willing to go

727
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 6: in and do the hard hat stuff. You know, you

728
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 6: elbow him in the head. I don't know if he's

729
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 6: even gonna feel it much less care other than he

730
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 6: may turn around elbow you in the head later on.

731
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 6: But he's got the hard hat mentality. He's got skills.

732
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 6: You know, he's six or sixteen from three so far.

733
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 6: You know that's that's absolutely you know, you're telling you

734
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 6: about a six to eight freshman coming in and giving

735
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 6: you a three per game at thirty eight percent make rate.

736
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 6: You know you're absolutely going to take that, you know.

737
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 5: And he will pass the ball, he will move the ball.

738
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 6: He's not going to be a big shot blocker, but

739
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 6: that's not his game. But I think he's doing phenomenal

740
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 6: job for a freshman. I think I think he's absolutely

741
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 6: everything you want. And the other thing is like he's

742
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 6: getting points in the flow of the offense. They're not

743
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 6: running place right him. It's ball. The ball is moving. Okay,

744
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 6: remember go to the corner when you're supposed to go

745
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 6: to the corner.

746
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 5: He has.

747
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 6: We've seen him make that corner three multiple times. In

748
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 6: certain situations where you're not going to get the defensive

749
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 6: board and everything's opposite, you're supposed to turn and go.

750
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 6: We saw last night turn and going. What's what happens?

751
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 6: They hit him twice, once the lap the other time.

752
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 6: Nice all you have done. So I think he's playing

753
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 6: tremendous basketball, and so I love his motor, and I

754
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 6: also love motor plus intelligence. It's one thing to just

755
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 6: have a motor, but some guys just have a motor

756
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 6: and all they do is end up out of position

757
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 6: half the times. You love, the effort doesn't help you

758
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 6: all that much. The guys who had great motors and

759
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 6: also have great awareness and say, okay, where am I

760
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 6: supposed to be hustling to the right spot five percent

761
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 6: of the time and question when you're going to have

762
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 6: some struggles. But I think you're spot on about Sisley.

763
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 6: I love transistently. I've enjoyed covering him, you know, all

764
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 6: four years of ice still basketball. I mean, there was

765
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 6: a reason I got on a plane and flew down

766
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 6: the Sunday after his IU visit, because everybody was like, hey,

767
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 6: you know, Rabbie, you may want to go to Montbert.

768
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure Transisty might have something to tell you

769
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 6: if you go down there. Oh okay, thanks, go down there.

770
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 6: So I was down there today committed DIU. You tell

771
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 6: you about a kid who was happy. I mean most

772
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 6: kids are happy when they commit, but some of them

773
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 6: really struggled with the decision and they're kind of reading

774
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 6: the script and blah blah blah. That was incredible joy

775
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 6: talking to Transistly today. He committed about you, I mean,

776
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 6: real joy. So he's you talk about somebody who was

777
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 6: born to be a hoosier. Trentsis is on the list.

778
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: So you like him. I'm just kidding.

779
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, good, I talked to me long now.

780
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 4: I apologize.

781
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: No, listen, you're covering years.

00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 4: I get it.

783
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: No, Rabbie, I get it. I mean, you know, I

784
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: get it. I mean obviously somebody told me that when

785
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: he came in and he signed, they said, look, he's

786
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: going to remind you of a twenty twenty five version,

787
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: if you will, of like an Eric Anderson and a

788

Speaker 1: guy that can score in different ways and be a contributor.

789
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: Right away, as a freshman and you're dead on and

790
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: it's a great breakdown of what makes him unique and special,

00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: both in the half court and transition and everything else.

831
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: going to say the establishment or the event because I

832
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: don't want to get anybody in trouble, and I genuinely

833
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: like the event obviously in the establishment. But there is

834
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: something that we do every year this time of year

835
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: around the Shannon and myself every year, okay, for I'm

836
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: a very tradition regimented guy. You don't say, you know,

837
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: I like things, and my brain is such that, like, no,

838
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: this is the you know, I want to park in

839
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: this parking spot. I want to do. You know this,

840
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm regimented.

841
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: I still remember when somebody took your parking spot one

842
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: morning and you threw a fit on the morning show.

843
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely threw up my day. So there is

844
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,760
Speaker 1: something that every year I buy tickets for, okay, okay.

845
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: And I went on probably a month and a half ago.

846
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: I thought, I can't wait to buy my tickets for

847
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: once again, like our tenth straight year of doing this

848
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,280
Speaker 1: this tradition. And I went and it said like, tickets

849
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: go on sale in four days. So I literally on

850
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: the four day, I put it on my phone, like,

851
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: oh that's the day tickets going sale. I went on.

852
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: I bought two tickets. I bought the tickets for it,

853
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: all excited, you know. I come home, I'm like super excited.

854
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: We're doing it again, you know, eleven years in a row.

855
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: Three days after I bought the tickets, I get an

856
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: email from the organization saying, it's the early Bird Special.

857
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Use the code blank for fifty dollars. Fifty dollars difference,

858
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: fifty dollars savings. So this particular thing, you have to

859
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: pick physically pick the tickets up at the ticket booth

860
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: once you purchase them. So when I went to go

861
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: pick up the tickets, even though the event has yet

862
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: take place, I went to go pick up the tickets

863
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: and said, hey, just out of curiosity, I bought them

864
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: on the very first day that you put them on sale.

865
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: And like three days after that, I got an email

866
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: saying that with the early Bird Special, it's fifty dollars off.

867
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: So I was, I was even earlier than the early

868
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: bird I'm your dedicated number one P one customer yep.

869
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: And they said, oh yeah, no, we just do that

870
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: to incentivize people to buy once once tickets have been

871
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: on sale for a while, so you're better off just

872
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: waiting until later. The advantage you had is you get

873
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: to you get to pick better tickets, so we're not

874
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: going to ring. And I'm like, I didn't know if

875
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: you could like maybe give me a voucher for something

876
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: or I typically, if it's five bucks, I wouldn't sa anything,

877
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: but I'm like, fifty bucks, you know it's I mean,

878
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: that's whatever. So I was like, wait a minute, so

879
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: you can't give me the you can't give me a

880
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: credit because I bought before the early bird special was

881
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: even presented to me, Like how many people even bought

882
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: on day number one and on day three if I'd

883
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: have waited two more days, I didn't know that. So

884
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, I was like disappointed, not just

885
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: because of the fifty bucks but on the principle of it.

886
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: And I thought you would think that they would say,

887
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: you know what, clearly you're a very good customer. You

888
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: bought on day number one. Our apologies wouldn't even think

889
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: of that. Yes, we're going to go ahead and issue

890
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: you a credit on your credit card at fifty bucks.

891
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: Now my disappointment are my somewhat in incredulous digestion of

892
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: the fact that they completely blew it off, and they're like, yeah, man, sorry, like,

893
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: unfortunately early bird doesn't get the worm it gets, it

894
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: loses out on fifty bucks? Am I right or wrong?

895
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 3: So if ding is right, X is wrong.

896
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: Ding means you agree with me. X means you're on

897
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: their side. You're on their side.

898
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 3: I mean you can't go to a gas station and

899
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 3: pill for two ninety eighth and the next day it

900
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: drops down to two seventy. It's like, hey, I came

901
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: in here yesterday, you know, and I got guess for

902
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 3: two ninety eight. Can you reimburse me, you know, fair

903
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 3: six twenty cents for however many gallons you purchased. Okay,

904
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 3: that's how I look at it.

905
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Gas is the one thing that you buy that it

906
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: is weird because the price is it's the only thing

907
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: that the price that you're paying is determined on how

908
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: much a cost replace it, not to produce it, which

909
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: is weird. But so you don't think that I'm in

910
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: the wrong here. I mean you think I'm in the

911
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: wrong here of being like, come on, man, seriously, Yeah,

912
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: just was bad on your part what I thought to

913
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,959
Speaker 1: myself as being on it. Next year, I'm just gonna

914
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: wait longer to buy the tickets, and I just might

915
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: forget altogether. I just may forget all together. You won't

916
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: forget knowing you, James. But that's what they're saying to me.

917
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: She actually said to me, Oh, you're better off waiting

918
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: later to buy your tickets. Okay, well, I'm sorry for

919
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: being penalized for being excited about your product. Kyle Nedrip

00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 3: Always ready?

926
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: If you were to rank Thanksgiving foods now, not based

927
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: on what you like, but based on the priority of

928
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: how important they are to the Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey is

929
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: obviously number one. Number two would probably be what like

930
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes?

931
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 4: Right?

932
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: I don't like mashed potatoes, so no.

933
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: Like I just said, not based on what you like,

934
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: but based on the precedent of a Thanksgiving dinner in

935
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: terms of what you think of as the traditional Turkey

936
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: would be number one. Stuffing Okay, okay, I'll put stuffing

937
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: to then mashed potatoes three cranberry sauce. That's probably like five, right.

938
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 3: Pumpkin pie or sugar cream pie.

939
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: Okay, pumpkin pie would be very high on the list,

940
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: or Pecan you give your auxiliary stuff like rolls? I

941
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: know some people like mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. Not

942
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: my style, but I know that people like that. I

943
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: mean a salad would maybe be in there for some people.

944
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: Based on all of that, your concern for the colts

945
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: in going against the Houston Texans defense, your concern level

946
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of the priority of what food

947
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: on a Thanksgiving plate?

948
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 3: What are determined was number three?

949
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: I would say stuffing.

950
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: Probably that I'd probably go stuffing. So you're putting it

951
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 3: pretty high. Yeah, if we're doing a deaf con level,

952
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 3: it's probably deaf count three.

953
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: So then let me ask you this. Your concern that

954
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is regressing and is not going to be

955
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: able to get back to September.

956
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones probably in connection to where I have the colts,

957
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 3: because I think they're going to go as he goes.

958
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 3: I know, but I'm saying what food item is that

959
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 3: it would still be stuffing deaf con three. I think

960
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 3: they're tight at the hip okay that defense.

961
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: I believe that this is a bad matchup for the Colts,

962
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: not because I think they're going to lose. I don't

963
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: think they're going to but when you look at the

964
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: upcoming schedule. I am a believer in momentum, and I'm

965
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: a believer in sports psychology in any sport, especially an

966
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: individualized sport golf, tennis, basketball to an extent, even though

967
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: it's a team sport in terms of the way you're

968
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: shooting the basketball, anything that you do, if something, if

969
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: it gets in your head, bowling, if it gets in

970
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: your head. Everybody's been in the zone. And there's almost

971
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: there's an opposite form of that where it's like you forget.

972
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: It's like the yips. You just forget how to what

973
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: it was. The muscle memory that you knew forever that

974
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 1: allowed you to do something at a high level went away.

975
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case with Daniel Jones. Don't

976
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: get me wrong, But the thing that Daniel Jones was

977
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: doing so well in September and October was he was

978
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: making all of the right reads, all of the right plays,

979
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 1: and pushing all of the right buttons. He knew when

980
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: it was time to tuck and run. He was really

981
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: good at it. When it was time to, you know,

982
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: go through all of his reads and go ahead and

983
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: find the last guy a Tyler Warner Josh downs and

984
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: wait and be patient and let the clock in his

985
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 1: head let him know that he still had time to throw.

986
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: He was really good at it. There were just a

987
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: number of things where he seemingly was able to push

988
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,479
Speaker 1: the right button every time. And then Pittsburgh comes in

989
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,280
Speaker 1: and they blitzed the heck out of him. He starts

990
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: turning the ball over and you go, okay, you have

991
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta in Germany. Everything can kind of balance itself out.

992
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: And in that game again he started to look rushed.

993
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 1: He started to look a little bit panicked is the

994
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: wrong word. But his patience seemed to elude him. And

995
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: then you have the game obviously against Kansas City, where

996
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: it wasn't that he was turning the ball over, but

997
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: he was never able to get in rhythm in terms

998
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: of his passing game. And he needs to get back

999
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: on the horse, just in terms of that muscle memory

1000
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: of letting things, of quieting the noise and standing in

1001
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: the pocket and knowing to go through his reads not

1002
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: get panicked, run when he needs to run, et cetera.

1003
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: The way that seemingly everything was the correct decision in

1004
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 1: September October. The reason why this game seems to come

1005
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: at a terrible time is not just because the Colts

1006
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: are coming off of two losses in their last three games,

1007
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: and not just because it's a divisional foe the first

1008
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: of two games that they have against them, and you've

1009
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: got to end on the road in Houston, and not

1010
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: just because you still have Jacksonville twice as well, but

1011
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: more so because when you look at the remaining schedule

1012
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: and coming off of the Houston game, you've got Jacksonville,

1013
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: who's still kind of a wild card. But you still

1014
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: think of Jacksonville defensively can can give you, and they

1015
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: do have. Does Jacksonville the ability offensively to keep the

1016
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: ball away from me a little bit and prohibit you

1017
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: from getting in rhythm. Seattle has one of the best

1018
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: and most dynamic receivers in the game, San Francisco one

1019
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: of the best offensive weapons in the game. So you

1020
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: are getting ready to go into games where offensively you

1021
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: are going to need to be clicking, You're going to

1022
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: need to be in rhythm, and if you're going up

1023
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: against the defense. Even though I think the Colts win

1024
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday, if Houston is again presenting aggressiveness on Daniel

1025
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: Jones and forcing him to again not get comfortable, he

1026
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: is again getting away from the muscle memory of what

1027
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: he was before, and I truly believe that confidence level,

1028
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: then you are then concerned because you're going to need

1029
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: that offense to be far more sound and precise over

1030
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: the next four games. You need than you needed to

1031
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 1: be on Sunday. They can get away. I think winning

1032
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: on does CJ. Stroud scare you when you look at Houston?

1033
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: Do you really say to yourself, boy, that's an offense

1034
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: that can just uncork points and uncork him in.

1035
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 3: A hurry, especially since he hasn't played what the last

1036
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 3: three weeks.

1037
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: Correct and I know that he he's another one ball

1038
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: placement specialist. He's been an in rhythm guy over the

1039
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: course of his career, but this year seemingly all of

1040
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, You know, there's discussion then of like, man,

1041
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: what's going on with CJ. Stroud? He seems off, not off,

1042
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 1: but but you know what I mean, it's not as

1043
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: they're not as just precise as they've been in the past,

1044
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: and it's a tough matchup. It's a tough timing matchup

1045
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: and a tough matchup in general. For the Colts. I

1046
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: think they're gonna win, and it might be kind of

1047
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: an ugly win, but I do think they're gonna win.

1048
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: But if they lose, Eddie right, yep, I mean at

1049
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: that point, you are and whoever would have guessed, And

1050
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 1: that's the NFL is such a marathon.

1051
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 3: And then you have to go down to Jacksonville next

1052
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 3: week and then you got Seattle, right, you gotta go

1053
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 3: to Seattle?

1054
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: Or are you going to that game?

1055
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 3: I wish I wish I could go to Loominfield and

1056
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 3: watch that game.

1057
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: Is that what it's known as?

1058
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 7: Now?

1059
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the name of it. Yeah. Have you been

1060
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 3: to a game there? Nope, very loud, great environment, into

1061
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 3: a few cracking games, into a couple of Mariners games.

1062
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 3: The Seahawks game.

1063
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: Seattle and their fans are so loud. Twelfth Man, you know,

1064
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: they they like the Colts have done, they had like

1065
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: the twelve retired number or whatever else. It is a

1066
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: super loud place. The only thing I can tell you

1067
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: about going to a game in Seattle I've only done

1068
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: it once. I was covering the Colts Seahawks game the

1069
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: year that Tony Dungee lost his son, and if I'm

1070
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: not mistaken, it was Dungee's first game back. I think

1071
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: he may have missed a game they lost. My memory

1072
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: on this could be off. Can you look up that

1073
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: season for me? It would have been like the what

1074
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 1: five or six season, and the Colts were thirteen to oh.

1075
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: They played three games they were either thirteen or twelve

1076
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: and oh, but I know they had Arizona and they

1077
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: had Seattle, and I think and I think Arizona beat

1078
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: them here, and then they went to Seattle on Christmas Eve,

1079
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: right and lost.

1080
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,240
Speaker 3: You are partially correct. They started thirteen and zero. Okay,

1081
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 3: lost to the San Diego Chargers in Week fifteen, lost

1082
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 3: to Seattle on Christmas Eve the following week, and then

1083
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 3: beat Arizona at home to conclude the season. That San

1084
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 3: Diego game was that was here?

1085
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: Right? Yes, it was a Billy Vullock game. Maybe, but

1086
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: either way, uh uh who Billy Vullock? Billy expletive Vullock?

1087
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: If you were to ask Colts fans, he was the

1088
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: quarterback for San Diego, I don't know if it was

1089
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: that year, but one of the years in the playoffs

1090
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: that was Drew Brees. Okay, the the years do start

1091
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: to run together after a while.

1092
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 3: Boy Michael Turner played for the Chargers. I didn't know.

1093
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: Yes, the one thing that I will always remember about

1094
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: that game, and it's totally irrelevant and it's totally irrelevant

1095
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: to this season, but it does. I will never forget it,

1096
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: and that was that Colt's team was thirteen and unblemished,

1097
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: and I was I had to go for Tony Dungee's

1098
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: son's service and cover it. That was always a very

1099
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: uncomfortable assignment because you have the morality dilemma of like

1100
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: should we be here? But the duty calls and that's

1101
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: what the job was. And so anyway, I covered that

1102
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: game and I remember seeing the buses roll in of

1103
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: the entire team and thinking to myself, there's no way

1104
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: anybody's going to beat these guys. I mean, just the

1105
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: solidarity of this group, the emotion of it all. And

1106
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: when they went to Seattle, and at that point they

1107
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: had a loss because they had lost to San Diego.

1108
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: But when they went to Seattle and the Seahawks, that

1109
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks team, I think was trying to punch itself into

1110
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs maybe, or you know whatever. But the genuine

1111
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: generosity and appreciation for the moment and the understanding of

1112
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: the emotion that the Seattle fans showed towards Tony Dungee

1113
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: and that game was something I'll never forget it truly.

1114
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: And it was Christmas Eve and everything else, but they

1115
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: were very, very kind. They were very kind and very

1116
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: they just they handled it the right way. But this

1117
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: particular game on Sunday again, you know Daniel Jones, and

1118
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: he has been a different level. He was at times

1119
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: we thought in the MVP conversation, and then all of

1120
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: a sudden the last couple of weeks. I wouldn't say

1121
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: that he looks completely lost and clueless, but he has

1122
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: slipped back just a little bit, by.

1123
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 4: The way, speaking of lost and clueless, so we bring

1124
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 4: on Kyle Edenrip from the NFR.

1125
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, Kyle Nedenrip joining us now because it

1126
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: is high school football Championship weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium.

1127
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: Everything getting underway on Friday. I keep wanting to say tomorrow,

1128
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: but tomorrow Thanksgiving a course, then on Friday and Saturday

1129
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: and Kyle has been covering it all your long and

1130
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: has been nice enough to join us on the job

1131
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: house peeling poor guest line over the course of the

1132
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: high school football season. Kyle, you fired up? You ready

1133
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: to go?

1134
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, almost getting there, getting a lot of previews stuff done,

1135
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 4: and you know, trying to you know, just kind of

1136
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 4: get through today and then hopefully at most of the

1137
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 4: tomorrow to hang out with family. But but yeah, we're

1138
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 4: getting there.

1139
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Eddie and I were just talking about this before

1140
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: we get to the games. I want your thought on

1141
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: this Thanksgiving dinner if and I'm not going with what

1142
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: you like, I'm going with the priority here. Okay, Turkey

1143
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: is clearly the most important dish of a Thanksgiving dinner.

1144
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: What would you say is the second most important dish.

1145
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 4: Of the dinner? Not not not dessert, the actual dinner.

1146
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Well, dessert also, I mean, okay, pumpkin pie would be

1147
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Pumpkin pie might be second most important behind turkey, right.

1148
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 4: Pumpkin pie is definitely second for me. I would say

1149
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 4: the next for the meal. I mean, I always have

1150
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 4: to have dressing in potatoes, so it'd be between those two.

1151
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 4: I would say mashed potatoes probably first.

1152
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Oka say mashed potatoes. Second, Also, what about what about

1153
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: dinner rolls? Do you put dinner rolls up there?

1154
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, I would say a played of turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing,

1155
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 4: and one dinner role with the go to you a.

1156
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Green bean casserole guy.

1157
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 4: Not really, although I will.

1158
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I will eat it, Okay, I'll eat it, but it's

1159
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: not my preference, right because it's because it's there. Right.

1160
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: It's like the guy that climbed evers. You did it

1161
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: because it was there, right, right.

1162
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 4: I'll eat it, but I won't have seconds, So I'll

1163
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 4: say that.

1164
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, my brain went a completely

1165
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: different place on that syllable there that you just said. Okay,

1166
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: so let's get to the games in the matchups. Now

1167
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: that we are at the culmination of the high school

1168
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: football season Lucas Oil Stadium, the matchup to you that

1169
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: is the most intriguing or that the more you look

1170
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: at it, the more you crunch it, the more prep

1171
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: you do, the more you say to yourself, I can

1172
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: be absolutely sold either way on this game, on these

1173
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: two teams, this is the best matchup of all of them.

1174
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 4: Well, it might be because I'm riding about it. Right now.

1175
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 4: But the Cascade Fort Wayne Bishop Lures game in three

1176
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 4: A might might rise to that level. And I say

1177
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 4: that because you know, I just watched Cascade Saturday. You know,

1178
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 4: their offense is unusual and it's fun to watch. They're

1179
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 4: kind of a hurry up running team. You know, they

1180
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 4: get up to the line and you know they you

1181
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 4: know they and a lot of times a lot of

1182
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 4: teams will do that where they get fast and then

1183
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 4: they'll kind of look to the sideline and they do

1184
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 4: some of that, but they will also go extreme hurry

1185
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 4: up and it's it's kind of unlike many things people

1186
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 4: have seen, I would say, to to the extent the

1187
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 4: quickness of which they run their offense. But but also

1188
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 4: on the other side, Fort Wayne Lures, you know, coming

1189
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 4: off that win over Knox last week and really holding

1190
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 4: Miles McLoughlin to you know, under one hundred yards and

1191
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 4: kind of dominating that game up front. Uh, you know,

1192
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 4: this is going to be pretty fascinating to see that

1193
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 4: defense against Cascades offense. So that one is really interesting.

1194
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: It's time there for Cascade, right am, I right.

1195
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 4: In that Yeah, Yeah, they've never been there before and

1196
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 4: they're one of Brownstown Central's the other team in two way,

1197
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 4: they have not been there before either. Those are only

1198
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 4: two this weekend that are new to the state finals.

1199
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 4: But I would say that one's early. I mean there's

1200
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 4: a few that are, you know, the six A game,

1201
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 4: obviously the rematch the I think Newpound Merrillville, you know,

1202
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 4: and also I just wrote about that game too, so

1203
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 4: I'm kind of familiar with, you know, just this recency bias,

1204
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 4: but that one looks really interesting to me. But I

1205
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 4: would Cascade Lures, I think, you know, the Friday after,

1206
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 4: would it be Friday at three pm? I think will

1207
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 4: be a really interesting game.

1208
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Cascade in Brownstown Central, by the way, also the only

1209
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: two fourteen and O teams. There are a couple that

1210
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: are thirteen to zero, including Brownsburg. But I want to

1211
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: go back to this about Cascade and Lures. You know,

1212
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: obviously in this area, Kyle Eddrupe, we don't see Bishop

1213
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Lures as much out of Fort Wayne. But I do

1214
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: know of teams that when you look at their schedule

1215
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, they're nine and five. But we've

1216
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: seen this with Cathedral before, We've seen it with Shatard before,

1217
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: where teams go out and test themselves and play up

1218
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: in the regular season and then that allows them to

1219
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: be battle tested for the postseason within their class. Is

1220
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: that what Lures has done.

1221
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, they're they're they started zero three, but then

1222
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 4: you go back and look at their their schedule and

1223
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 4: it's like, well, shoot, they played the you know, they're

1224
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 4: playing up, you know, playing teams that are bigger than

1225
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 4: them in almost every scenario. So you know, it's not

1226
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 4: a situation where you know, it's it's not like they

1227
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 4: were just playing poorly. You know, Andrean's one of the

1228
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 4: teams they lost to that. You know, they're they're A

1229
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 4: two A state finalist, you know. But other than that,

1230
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 4: you know their schedules pretty much, you know, all six A,

1231
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 4: four A, five A teams, you know, and and then

1232
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 4: they're then they get into their three A once the

1233
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 4: season's over, so you know, it's it's an unusual situation

1234
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 4: where you know, their talent level doesn't always match the record,

1235
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 4: and you know, the last team that's pretty it is

1236
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 4: pretty unusual to have five losses and make it this far.

1237
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 4: I think seven seven teams all time have won to

1238
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 4: stay title with five losses or more, and Cathedral was

1239
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 4: actually the last team to do it, and it's been

1240
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 4: I think eleven years ago was the last time it happened,

1241
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 4: but Lures actually did it once too, uh you know nine,

1242
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 4: So it's it does happen occasionally, and a lot of

1243
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 4: times it is teams like Lures in in Cathedral and

1244
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 4: you know, the teams that really play at tougher, you know,

1245
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 4: higher level opponents than their class. So I think that's

1246
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 4: that's pretty much the case here. I think anybody, anyone

1247
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 4: who knows Lures, no one's ever made it here to

1248
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 4: the state finals as many times as they have, so uh,

1249
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 4: when you see their helmet and their name out there,

1250
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 4: I think everybody knows. You know, you're getting a really

1251
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 4: good team. So you know, that's not like, you know,

1252
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 4: it's not like this is an upset type situation. But

1253
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 4: but yeah, it'll be it'll be fun they're there. Lures

1254
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 4: is a little bit young on offense and they're older

1255
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 4: on defense, so I would say that's a you know

1256
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 4: that that'll make for some intriguing matchups on both sides

1257
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 4: of the ball.

1258
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Okay, let's click through a couple of other of the

1259
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: local teams Coyle Net. But my guest, Java House pielampor

1260
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: guest line where you're hearing his voice, Indie Star where

1261
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 1: you read his work. New palameravill Let's go back to that.

1262
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,439
Speaker 1: New Pal obviously as good as any program in the state.

1263
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I think they've won what twenty six twenty seven in

1264
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: a row, but Merrillville presents what challenge.

1265
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 4: Well, their offense is just really outstanding, and they they

1266
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 4: they they're over two hundred yards per game both running

1267
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 4: and passing, which is which is pretty unusual. In their

1268
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 4: quarterback Michael Hill Junior, a very dynamic player, over three

1269
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 4: thousand yards passing thirty touchdowns. And then they have a

1270
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 4: Cameron Jordan is scored of a running back slash receiver.

1271
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 4: He kind of does both for them. And then j

1272
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 4: Q Johnson, they're running back is over well over one thousand.

1273
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 4: I think he's thirteen hundred yards rushing. So you know,

1274
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 4: so that's the matchup. I think that'll be intriguing in

1275
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 4: that game is New Pal's defense, which has been awesome.

1276
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 4: You know all season, they give up you know, pretty

1277
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 4: much literally nothing to anybody. I think they're allowing four

1278
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 4: point six points per game, and you know, just they

1279
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 4: just try to take the runaway and then you know,

1280
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 4: make you one dimensional. And I think that'll that'll be

1281
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 4: interesting here because Merrillville does kind of want to throw

1282
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 4: it and spread it around but also run. So you know,

1283
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 4: a lot of interesting uh you know matchups in that one,

1284
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 4: I would say. And then you know, Newpal's been good

1285
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 4: on offense. They haven't you know, they haven't blown some

1286
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 4: of the teams that play in the tournament, you know,

1287
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 4: like East Central and Cathedral. They haven't blown them away

1288
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 4: by any means. But they've done what they've had to do.

1289
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 4: And you know, again they are, you know, very diverse

1290
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 4: on offense. They can throw in pass or they can

1291
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 4: throw in run, including their quarterback Jacob Davis, who can

1292
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 4: do both as well. So that'll be you know, I

1293
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 4: think that'll be a fun game to Friday night, just

1294
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 4: to kind of see the two teams on the field

1295
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 4: and how they stack up. There's definitely some you know,

1296
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 4: mystery I think of how that game will look.

1297
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Okay, in Class four A Ron Colly locally speaking, going

1298
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: up against fort wayn Dwinger and these two, if I'm

1299
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: not mistaken, started the year against each other in a

1300
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: big shootout, three nothing game. Which of these two teams

1301
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: has matured or grown the most sense then or do

1302
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: we expect a similar type of defensive slug.

1303
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 4: No, I don't think it will be, you know, to

1304
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 4: that extent. I think you probably lean more towards a

1305
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 4: defensive type of game. Just looking at you know, looking

1306
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 4: at Dwinger's team, that's just kind of how they are

1307
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 4: as a as an overall team this year. I mean,

1308
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 4: they just don't give you a whole lot, you know,

1309
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 4: And really the only tournament game they've given up very

1310
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 4: much is Lebanon, which scored twenty seven, but you know,

1311
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 4: they gave up way too many that get doing or

1312
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 4: had thirty nine points and you know, had a big

1313
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 4: game offensively. But I think Ron Colly, you know, the

1314
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 4: way they have improved this year throughout the season, and

1315
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 4: again their schedule is pretty front loaded where you have

1316
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 4: to play Guitar and some of the good teams up

1317
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 4: front of Franklin Central and you know, some bigger schools.

1318
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 4: But you know, they've really turned it on. That win

1319
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 4: over Gutard in the Sectional championship twenty six to six,

1320
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,600
Speaker 4: I think turned a lot of heads, and you know

1321
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 4: they've kind of kept it going from there, really took

1322
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 4: it to Heritage Hills last week. So yeah, I mean

1323
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 4: they're you know, Luke Roder, Alex Jarvis two guys for

1324
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 4: them who have really come on second half of the

1325
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 4: season as receivers, and you know, Jarvis runs the ball

1326
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 4: as well quite a bit for them. And then Colin

1327
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 4: ash has had a great year at quarterback. So you know,

1328
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,839
Speaker 4: it's a typical round Collig team that defense, special teams.

1329
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 4: You know, the things that Ron Colly's known for running

1330
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 4: the ball, you know, are all good, but they've improved

1331
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,640
Speaker 4: in the passing game to where they can make it

1332
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 4: tough on you there too. So yeah, I think Rond Collie,

1333
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 4: you know, I picked them to win. I think they're

1334
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 4: going to win the game. But I think it'll be

1335
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 4: a good a good battle.

1336
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: In four A and then in six A obviously, as

1337
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: you had mentioned, Idiot's two teams very familiar with one

1338
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: another in Westfield and Brownsburg. Probably some fireworks offensively in

1339
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: that game as well. We will be reading all of

1340
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the coverage at the Indianapolis Star. Kyle. When it comes

1341
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: to the Pumpkin Pie, enjoy it, Enjoy the family and

1342
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: the relaxation before everything gets underway on Friday and Saturday,

1343
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: a Lucas Oil Stadium and certainly appreciate your time each

1344
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: and every week in joining us. And it was only

1345
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: the one time I believe that you were lost in clueless.

1346
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 4: Right exactly. Yeah, it's been all good, that's right. Appreciated man.

1347
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving to you all right, you too, Hi, Kyle

1348
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: neednrip joining us on the program we come back. There is,

1349
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: in fact, at the collegiate level a big one that

1350
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: is taking place and a guy that has a little

1351
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: bit of extra hardware already accumulated on the shelf and

1352
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: going for it from the team standpoint, talking about on

1353
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: the near west side, and I'm talking about Marion. We

1354
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: will talk to their head coach who is award winning

1355
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: and we'll do it next. Football is in fact a

1356
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: team sport, and obviously it is the collection of young

1357
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: men coming together to reach a common goal. In the

1358
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: case of Marion, that common goal has been, of course,

1359
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: rising to the very top. And Marion is accustomed to that.

1360
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: They have won a national championship. They are back in

1361
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: the postseason. The NAI Football Championship Series takes place coming

1362
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: up on Saturday on the near West side dor University

1363
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: of Iowa, who are the defenders and aptly named because

1364
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: they're coming off a shutout in round number one now

1365
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: working their way to take on Marion, and in doing so,

1366
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: they will be going up against a group. And this

1367
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: is why I mentioned that it is in fact a

1368
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: team sport, but yet you still have individual awards that

1369
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 1: can take place, and that is the case with Marion

1370
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 1: because for the third time, I believe, the third time

1371
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 1: in program history, the regional Coach of the Year joining

1372
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: us on the program now coach Kearras from Marion coach.

1373
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: This is the third time for Ted Carris Junior named

1374
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 1: the AFCA twenty twenty five Region two Coach of the Year.

1375
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Am I correcting that.

1376
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 5: You are correct sir?

1377
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: Okay? I want to so, first off, congratulations, right, and

1378
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: I want to get to your guys at a second here.

1379
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: But I'm curious from your standpoint, and we know and

1380
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: we've well documented your story that you were at Marion,

1381
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: you were a two time Coach of the Year, then

1382
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: you come back to lead the program again. It's a

1383
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: tremendous honor and I'm curious of this. If you had

1384
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 1: to assess it, is there any way that you are

1385
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: a different coach today? Then you were let's say a

1386
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: decade ago when this award was also won by you,

1387
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: maybe because of the change of the game itself. But

1388
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: has anything about Ted Kerris changed?

1389
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 5: I would say probably not.

1390
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 8: You know, I've always been a player centric type coach,

1391
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 8: and you know a lot of my philosophies throughout my

1392
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 8: career have you know, gone along that route, you.

1393
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 5: Know, So I'd say not a whole heck of a lot.

1394
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 8: I've always improvised and adapted, you know, on a daily basis,

1395
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 8: continue to do so. Here my second Stitdent Marion and

1396
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 8: just really please but I take a lot of input too,

1397
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 8: you know, like for instance, tomorrow morning's practice, I won't

1398
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 8: want to move it up a little bit even to

1399
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 8: go earlier in the morning on thanksgaping, So I'll do that,

1400
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 8: you know, and to show a hands we vote on it.

1401
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 8: And I wasn't gonna do that at first, but I

1402
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,879
Speaker 8: did it, so you know this little things I'm scheduling

1403
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 8: are always a big deal. And and of just getting

1404
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 8: back to that award, man, that the only reason I

1405
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 8: get that is because of you know, the players, producing

1406
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 8: the coaches coaching them up many everything came.

1407
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 5: Together really nicely so far. This year and we got

1408
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 5: to keep it rolling here on Saturday.

1409
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Well, in rolling is what you guys have done, right,

1410
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you've scored one hundred and seven points in

1411
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: your last two games and no slouch either, because you

1412
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: know St. Saint X of Illinois that you guys beat

1413
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago is a darn good team.

1414
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: You beat them forty five zip. So I know you

1415
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: had to be thrilled with that. But when you talk

1416
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 1: about the player accomplishment for this award or for the

1417
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: fact that you guys have, you know, you're writing this

1418
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: ten game win streak going into the postseason. What guys

1419
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: or what thing about this group are you the most

1420
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: proud of.

1421
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:52,919
Speaker 8: I think I'm most proud of their leadership throughout starting

1422
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 8: last winter and throughout this group. We have a really

1423
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 8: good group of seniors and I have a lot of captains,

1424
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 8: that about ten captains, and.

1425
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 5: They've really done a good.

1426
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 8: Job of just I don't want to say, I guess

1427
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 8: policing the team, making sure everyone's on tax, make sure

1428
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 8: everyone's locked in, as they like to say. And I

1429
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 8: am most proud of that, and how we've also gelled

1430
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 8: as a team. We have quite a few new players,

1431
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,799
Speaker 8: everyone's you know, come together really real nice.

1432
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: In terms of your defense, it seems to me, coach,

1433
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and maybe part of this is scheduled, just in terms

1434
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: of the offenses you're going up against. But it looks

1435
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to me like in the last let's say, four weeks

1436
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: of the year that your defense has notably your offense

1437
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: has really been pretty high clicking right, But defensively, it

1438
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: looks like you guys have really narrowed in what has

1439
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: been the difference.

1440
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 8: I just think are substituting on the D line. I

1441
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 8: think we do a really good job of that, putting

1442
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 8: pressure on the quarterback, really knowing the game plan, the

1443
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 8: teams that we're playing. We have a big challenge this week,

1444
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 8: by the way, defending the option, but really I just think,

1445
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 8: you know, come flying to the football, you know, creating turnovers.

1446
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 8: We are first in the NAI and interceptions which is big,

1447
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 8: and we're like fifth. And sacks those are all big

1448
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 8: play type you know, things that have really helped us

1449
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 8: here the last few weeks.

1450
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to get to the option because the

1451
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: option is one of those you know I think about

1452
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 1: say Georgia Tech for example, or like Navy, Navy forever

1453
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: ran the option, right, I mean we smu ran the

1454
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: option back in the day. It can be if it's

1455
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 1: done well. It is so hard to defend. What is

1456
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 1: the key to defending the op? I mean, honestly, what

1457
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: how do you how do you hone in on the option?

1458
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: Because it is so unique and so few teams do it.

1459
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: How do you prepare for it?

1460
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 8: Well, you know, the first thing and the option is

1461
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 8: you got to take the first you know.

1462
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 5: Option out of it, and that's the dive. So you

1463
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 5: got to stop the dive and then everything else goes

1464
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 5: from there.

1465
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 8: And there's a few things you could do differently to

1466
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 8: do that, but number one thing is we got to

1467
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 8: stop that first play and that's the dive, and then

1468
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 8: then you got topic quarterback and the pitch, so everything

1469
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 8: goes from there. But that'll be the key that we

1470
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 8: got to make them try to throw the ball more

1471
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 8: if they you know, we can't let them get comfortable

1472
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 8: in their option. And if the quarterback does keep the ball,

1473
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 8: he needs to pay on the west side.

1474
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: I like that he needs to pay on the west side, which,

1475
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: by the way, you don't have to pay a lot

1476
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: to go to see Mary. And that's one of the

1477
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 1: great things about it At Ascension Saint Vincent Field, everything

1478
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: getting underway on Saturday. This is going to be a

1479
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: one to Zho five kick on the near west side.

1480
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: One other thing about the option coach, because when I

1481
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: watch it it it can be so incredibly effective, but

1482
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, it would seem like it would

1483
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: be an offense that would be really hard to master.

1484
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 1: So which is harder being a defense that is not

1485
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: used to seeing an option and then having to, like

1486
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: on a short week or you know, in a short

1487
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: amount of time, learn how to guard against it or

1488
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: perfecting it if you are an offense that is wanting

1489
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 1: to run it because so few people can do it

1490
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: with that precision, which would be the bigger challenge I.

1491
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 8: Think a bigger challenge. Well for us, you know, it's

1492
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 8: defensively trying to stop it. They've had a lot of

1493
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 8: time they've had since August to hone in on what

1494
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 8: they want to do option wise.

1495
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 5: We've had, you know, a week, so you know the challenge.

1496
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: I think it just like learning it in general, like

1497
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: as an offense, you know what I mean, if you're

1498
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: going to institute that as an offense, how hard is

1499
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: it to find a guy that can actually execute it

1500
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: week in and week out so that you're relying on it,

1501
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

1502
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, that's that's that's that's a good point right there.

1503
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 8: I still think defenses is defensing. It is tougher thom Uh.

1504
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: What about aside from that? What area at this point

1505
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: is there or is there an area coach that Ted

1506
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 1: Carris is our guest from Marion. As you get set

1507
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: for this game, you've got a real good idea who

1508
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 1: you are at this point. But when you are a

1509
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: three time coach of the Year, it's because there's always

1510
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: something you're looking to perfect. What is the white whale

1511
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: of this team? What is the one aspect of this

1512
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: team that you have one eye on the ceiling at

1513
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: night thinking to yourself, we got to show that up.

1514
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 8: We got to play really disciplined football on the back end.

1515
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 8: You know, in addition to all the option stuff, they

1516
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 8: got a lot of trick plays too, where they're going

1517
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 8: to fake this option, everyone's going to be flying up

1518
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 8: and then they've been thrown over people's heads. So being

1519
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 8: really disciplined on the back end is going to be

1520
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 8: key this game.

1521
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: You guys are accustomed to this the postseason. It's part

1522
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: of Marion's brand now, right, I mean we are used

1523
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: to seeing Marion in the nai you know, football championship,

1524
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: contending for national championships. Your guys have gotten to this

1525
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 1: point now and they're playing well, and they've won ten

1526
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: in a row. What do you do and how do

1527
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: you enforce to them to let them know that this

1528
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: is the new season now and now it starts over again,

1529
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 1: and just getting to this point is not the complacency.

1530
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Does that make sense what I'm asking?

1531
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 5: Sure?

1532
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 8: No, I don't think anyone's feeling that. I think they're

1533
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 8: hungry because we didn't make the playoffs last year. We

1534
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 8: thought we may have should have. So I think there's

1535
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 8: a big hunger factor with this group to you know,

1536
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 8: go all the way. But you got to take care

1537
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 8: of business on Saturday against a very tough team that's

1538
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 8: averaging forty points a game. They're giving up only fourteen

1539
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 8: and by the way to the least penalized team and

1540
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 8: all thenia. So we have to be very disciplined in

1541
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 8: our approach on Saturday.

1542
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking to hungry, tomorrow's a big one.

1543
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: So you're going to take a vote. You guys are

1544
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: going to be able to get out and get to

1545
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving table. I'm curious for you. Turkey is the obvious.

1546
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 1: We've been asking this every day. The other two dishes

1547
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: that are most important to the Karas family Thanksgiving or what?

1548
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I go to my cousin Eve Turkey, Yes,

1549
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 8: number one. They're stuffing number two. But my dish, my

1550
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,839
Speaker 8: contribution to the Thanksgiving is baked clams.

1551
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 5: I get picked up twenty four.

1552
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 8: Last night at the market and I am going to

1553
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 8: stuck them tonight. And I put this beautiful topping on

1554
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 8: it and put a little lemon on it, and baked

1555
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 8: clams would be my second.

1556
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: Now hold on, like, listen, you you pepped up a

1557
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: little bit there. This is no joke in the Kara's household, apparently, right, Yeah, this.

1558
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 5: Is no joke.

1559
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 8: This is going on a couple of decades of me

1560
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 8: doing this. One looks forward to it. It's a little

1561
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 8: bit of work, though. Man, you gotta shuck twenty four clams.

1562
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 8: I don't if you've ever done that, but you know

1563
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 8: it takes a little time.

1564
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 5: You can't rush, you'll jam your hand up. And then

1565
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 5: after that, yeah, I put a nice.

1566
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 7: Butter bread topping garlic on it.

1567
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 5: With some lemon, and everyone loves it.

1568
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 1: This is impressive, Like I mean, honestly, I mean, you're

1569
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: a regular gourmet. I'm chef Boyardy over here. Microwave is

1570
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: a way I do it. And you're you're up all

1571
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: night shucking and clamming and buttering. I love it, man,

1572
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. Well, listen, I hope you're able

1573
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 1: to shut Dort. Coming up on Saturday, we shall see

1574
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: big one. They are tenth ranked and as I mentioned,

1575
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: the defenders do exactly that and then that option can

1576
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 1: be tricky. But coach, we wish you the best of luck.

1577
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: It is always a great product over there at Marion,

1578
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: and we look forward to talking to you coming up

1579
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,759
Speaker 1: here as you guys advance, because I got a feeling

1580
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: here and then we'll get the full clam report as well.

1581
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 5: All right, that's great, Jay, thank you, Happy Thanksgiving to you.

1582
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Same to you. Coach Karris joining us from

1583
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: Mary and again congratulate to him for the third time,

1584
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: now third time the coach of the Year at NAIA

1585
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: in the Division two region for Marion and the Knights.

1586
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: All Right, still a lot to talk about. I want

1587
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 1: to get back into the Colts and Texans including we

1588
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: mentioned it, but there was one player that is not

1589
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 1: available for Indianapolis that you then have to wonder what

1590
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: that may mean in terms of changing the dynamic of

1591
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,599
Speaker 1: what the Colts want to be on Sunday. We'll explain next.

1592
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of physical it's been physical for Daniel Jones in

1593
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 1: terms of his leg injury. He has spoken, has Daniel Jones.

1594
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: We will let you hear what the quarterback had to

1595
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 1: say coming up just a couple of minutes from now,

1596
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,719
Speaker 1: as the Colts and Texans are getting set at Lucas

1597
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: Oil Stadium on Sunday. Big aspect of this game that

1598
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 1: is one of those that you might not think about

1599
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 1: as significant, but the ir placement of Ashton Doolan. I

1600
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: think it's an important asset of this game for the

1601
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 1: Colts because of the fact that I know that the

1602
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 1: phrase has always been next man up, you know, I know,

1603
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: the saying of you know everything that goes into hey,

1604
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: you know that's okay. You know, we got the depth

1605
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: and they have that in terms of Ashton Doolan, and

1606
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: we've already seen, you know, with Gould being able to

1607
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: come in and fill in on kick returns or punt

1608
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 1: returns in the return game. But Doolan has been and

1609
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I know that I probably my arms are probably sore

1610
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: from carrying the water of Ashton Doolan too much. I

1611
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: get it. But I just think that a guy like

1612
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: that that is able to play at the level that

1613
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:50,879
Speaker 1: he's able to play when his number is called, because

1614
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 1: there's such a value in Yes, we know that Michael

1615
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,640
Speaker 1: Pittman's a great receiver over the middle. We know that

1616
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: Josh Downs is a great receiver you know, on a

1617
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: bubble screen or in space or when things are breaking down.

1618
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: We know that Tyler Warren has become a totally different

1619
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: dynamic for them, and we know what Alec Pierce has

1620
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: brought to the table. But how many times this year

1621
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 1: have you said to yourself, man, I did not have

1622
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: Ashton Dulan making a big play on my Bengo card.

1623
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: Yet he is able to do it. And that comes

1624
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: at you know, when he's making a big receiving play's

1625
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: that's literally the ten dollars bill in your genes when

1626
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: you're doing your laundry. That's like free money for the Colts.

1627
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: And that's not to say that they can't replace that

1628
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: per se. But you think of the special teams aspect

1629
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: of Duelan being out, and I think the more key

1630
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 1: and critical part of it is just the little And

1631
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I know that it's like one play per game. I

1632
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: get it. I'm not trying to overstate it. I'm not

1633
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: trying to oversell it. I'm not trying to be too

1634
01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 1: much hyperbole here about it. But I think that there

1635
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 1: is such an important aspect to what he can bring

1636
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 1: to the table of making a play offensively one per game,

1637
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: and that one game, that one play. And I know

1638
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: people are like this dude really going on about Ashton Dulan.

1639
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: I think he is. He can be that sort of

1640
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: a guy. He can be a glue guy a little bit.

1641
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 1: And I'm very curious as to how whether or not

1642
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 1: there are And I'm going to guess there's going to

1643
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: be a situation or a play coming up here, maybe

1644
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: not this Sunday, but in the next couple of games

1645
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: where you're going to say to yourself, you know what,

1646
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:43,640
Speaker 1: I never thought. I never thought Ashton Doolan was a

1647
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: guy that I would be saying is a significant loss.

1648
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 1: But I hope I'm wrong, But I have a feeling

1649
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: about it.

1650
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's huge.

1651
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 9: I mean, Dulan's one of our special teams. Aces obviously

1652
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 9: plays a lot for us and rolls on offense, so

1653
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 9: losing a guy like that hurts us. But I've always

1654
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 9: say it's the next man up, next man mentality and

1655
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 9: get ready to go.

1656
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: There you go. That's Shane Steichen obviously speaking there Eddie.

1657
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,719
Speaker 1: We have fan Fest tickets to give away. Correct, Yes, hey,

1658
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: two four packs. This is such an awesome time of

1659
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: year in downtown Indianapolis because you have there, there's a

1660
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: certain maybe I romanticize it too much, but I love

1661
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't like cold weather at all. I don't like

1662
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: gray weather at all. But it's always been offset in

1663
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: my mind over the fact that there's kind of just

1664
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: this magic and this lore. And I know it's a

1665
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: different world now with you know, online shopping and everything else,

1666
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: but and I know that, like you know, the Downtown

1667
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 1: Mall doesn't even exist, but I always think about just

1668
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 1: the hub and the activity of getting ready for the holidays,

1669
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: of scurrying into a restaurant for the group of friends

1670
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: that you get together with once a year, you know,

1671
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: to get ready and have a holiday drink or get

1672
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 1: together and you have a dinner together each year leading

1673
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: into the holidays, or the office party or whatever else.

1674
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,559
Speaker 1: And there are so many things that go on just

1675
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: in terms of us as a society, as a city, whatever,

1676
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: of getting back to what's truly important, you know, being

1677
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 1: around the people that are close to us, enjoying and

1678
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: embracing the experiences and the true meaning of the spirit

1679
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,520
Speaker 1: of the season. And along with that and this awakening

1680
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 1: that happens of people doing that. Downtown is kind of

1681
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: the epicenter of so much activity that takes place, beginning

1682
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: this weekend, obviously with the Circle of Lights in the

1683
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: high school football state finals, and then you look at

1684
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 1: the first weekend in December and you have the Big

1685
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: Ten Football Championship game taking place at Lucas Oil Stadium.

1686
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: It seems as though it's a foregone conclusion that's going

1687
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: to be Indiana, and one would assume Ohio State, but

1688
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: who knows what that Michigan Ohio State game, what could happen.

1689
01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, then you have that day going into that

1690
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 1: Louisville and Indiana at Gambridge Field House that are obviously

1691
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,479
Speaker 1: pacer games taking place. Over the course of the next

1692
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and one of the big things on

1693
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: the calendar for that is the Big Ten Fan Fest.

1694
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Now I want to be clear here. These are not

1695
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: tickets we're giving away for the championship game itself, but

1696
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 1: rather for the Big Ten fan Fest celebration, which is

1697
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:25,679
Speaker 1: adjacent or accompanying that at the Convention Center. And this

1698
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: is a celebration of Big Ten football. It is a

1699
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,799
Speaker 1: chance for you to see trophies and records and photos

1700
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: and teams and cheerleaders and bands and everything that goes

1701
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: into the celebration of the Big Ten. It is very,

1702
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 1: very cool. It's a ton of fun. It's great for kids, notably.

1703
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 1: And we have how many tickets to give away, Eddie?

1704
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: We have two four packs to Okay, So if you

1705
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: would like a four packup tickets for the Big Ten

1706
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,719
Speaker 1: fan Fest right now, callers number on Eddie.

1707
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 3: Ooh, do we want to do colors? When we do

1708
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 3: a text line again, we'll do the text line.

1709
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, the text line two three nine ten

1710
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 1: seventy three one seven two three nine one zero seven

1711
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: zero is the number. But you have to answer a

1712
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 1: question correct.

1713
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 3: You can do a question. They can guess a number.

1714
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 3: I don't know which way would we like to do it?

1715
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 3: I don't care, Jake. It's your show with you, it's

1716
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 3: your giveaway. Hm, that becomes interesting, right? Yeah?

1717
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: I asked the trivia question the other day. Did anybody

1718
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: get that right in terms of who was the MVP

1719
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: of the first Big Ten Championship game?

1720
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 3: And we had people get that one right correct?

1721
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1722
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So then the better question would be this Russell Wilson.

1723
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was the correct answer for Wisconsin.

1724
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 2: Right.

1725
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 3: Yesterday's trivia question was what college did Trey Essex go to?

1726
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 3: That was Northwestern?

1727
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: Also a Big ten question goes without saying right. Okay?

1728
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 1: Then how about this one? Okay, that Russell Wilson game

1729
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 1: that I had mentioned where he was the MVP of

1730
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,600
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship game? That was against what team?

1731
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: Who did he beat? Who did Russell Wilson beat to

1732
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: be the Big ten Most Valuable Player in the Big

1733
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: Ten Championship game? First two to get it correct? Four

1734
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: pack to Big ten FanFest. Final hour of the week

1735
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 1: for Eddie and myself at least in terms of on

1736
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 1: air and our time with you, Eddie, did we get

1737
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: the correct answer for the Big ten Fan Fest tickets.

1738
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,480
Speaker 3: Yes, we did, plenty of people, plenty.

1739
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was the most valuable player in the Big

1740
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium and its first

1741
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: installment played in that venue after he led his Wisconsin

1742
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,640
Speaker 1: Badgers to the Big Ten title over and yes, you

1743
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: might be thinking to yourself, well, that was Nebraska, right

1744
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 1: when Wisconsin ran all over Nebraska. No, that was a

1745
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 1: year later. Russell Wilson did it against Michigan State, against

1746
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:47,799
Speaker 1: the spartans of Michigan State. That venue, Lucas Oil Stadium

1747
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: will be home to the Colts in the Houston Texans

1748
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,719
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday. Lots of questions about the Colts

1749
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 1: from a health standpoint, notably as I talked about Ashton Doula.

1750
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 1: We know that DeForest Buckner is out. We know that

1751
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson that injury. I do worry for Anthony Richardson

1752
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:09,839
Speaker 1: that one might be relatively severe. But Daniel Jones also

1753
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 1: a little bit dinged up. Now what we know is

1754
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 1: this it is and eventually or or we found out

1755
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: it is a fibula injury. Now we had Kevin Bowen on.

1756
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: I am not a doctor. As a matter of fact,

1757
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:29,600
Speaker 1: I haven't even taken a Sally Strouther's medical class. Initially,

1758
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, what we heard was that was a calf injury. Now,

1759
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, the fibula is a bone? Is

1760
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: that correct, Eddie?

1761
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 3: That is correct?

1762
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 1: Yes? Do we know which bone it is in the leg?

1763
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 1: The fibula, I mean, I know there's the tibula. I know,

1764
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: there's the humorous which I think is the funny bone

1765
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: that's in the arm. I know obviously there's the femur.

1766
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 1: The fibula is which one the calf bone? Okay, it's

1767
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: one of the two long bones in the lower leg,

1768
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 1: located on the lateral side of the tibia, the which

1769
01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 1: is the shin'd tibia. There's a bone on the side

1770
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 1: of the tibia. I didn't know that. I've heard of

1771
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: the fibula. I didn't know that the you know, they're

1772
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 1: all connected as we know, right. Yeah, But Daniel Jones

1773
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 1: did elaborate a little bit. Now I'm going to put

1774
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 1: on my Freudian cap at the end of this, but

1775
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: before I do so, I will see if you folks

1776
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 1: notice what I do. Daniel Jones talking about and elaborating

1777
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,919
Speaker 1: on and clarifying his fibula injury.

1778
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was just something that kind of was hanging

1779
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 10: over and realized that last week. And yeah, I've just

1780
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 10: been trying to get treatment and make sure I'm in

1781
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 10: the best spot I can be from the land game.

1782
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 10: Or yeah, I think it's just something I felt last

1783
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 10: week and tough to say exactly when, but yeah, something

1784
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 10: I felt last week I looked at and been been

1785
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 10: really good working with the trainers here and making sure

1786
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 10: we're ready to go, got.

1787
01:31:57,120 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 4: A good plan.

1788
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:05,719
Speaker 1: Okay, are you ready for the Freudian Jake query? Overthinking it? Tenfoil? Hat?

1789
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Dare I say not literally? A tenfoil happen? It is

1790
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 1: me overthinking perhaps. At the end of that clip, Daniel

1791
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 1: Jones says, it's been really good working with the trainers

1792
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: and getting treatment on it. And that is the only

1793
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 1: in within a twenty nine second portion of that clip

1794
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 1: where he does not rely on um and uh. Because

1795
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,120
Speaker 1: when you are talking about something of which you are

1796
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 1: very sure and there is no question in your mind

1797
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: about it, you're not searching for words. I know this.

1798
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,840
Speaker 1: I have to talk every day for three hours a day, right,

1799
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:50,720
Speaker 1: But in twenty nine seconds there he said, uh, or

1800
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,640
Speaker 1: um eight times every three and a half seconds. He

1801
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 1: was having to redirect or refocus his thought. Not saying

1802
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: that that's because he's lying about his injury. I don't

1803
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 1: think that's the case at all. But I think that

1804
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 1: he is a little bit bewildered about his injury and

1805
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 1: was uncomfortable in explaining it because he doesn't know exactly

1806
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: what it is and he couldn't clarify it. And that

1807
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: may be that may be something to keep an eye on,

1808
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: or it may be another example which is perfectly rational

1809
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:22,639
Speaker 1: of me, way overthinking and overanalyzing it. But I found

1810
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 1: it interesting. And I'm not around Daniel Jones enough to

1811
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 1: know whether or not ums and uzz are part of

1812
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: his normal vernacular. But at the end of that clip,

1813
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: when he was then talking about his trust, his appreciation,

1814
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: his admiration for the training staff, he did not stumble

1815
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: at all, because at that point it's like, wow, okay,

1816
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 1: now I'm thank goodness. It's like when I was on

1817
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:47,520
Speaker 1: that airplane coming back. You know, we're through the turbulence

1818
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,760
Speaker 1: now and now at this point, finally everything smooth. I

1819
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about in this regard. But I

1820
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:58,839
Speaker 1: do think that that injury is one that Daniel Jones

1821
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: did show a little bit in that Kansas City game.

1822
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 1: There were times where he didn't look like the Daniel

1823
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,679
Speaker 1: Jones we had seen earlier in the year in terms

1824
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: of the comfort level of when to go, when to run,

1825
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:13,280
Speaker 1: when you get out of balance, et cetera. He looked

1826
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 1: something not not totally hobbled, but he looked eighty five

1827
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: percent if you were to ask me, and it sounds

1828
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: to me like a guy that, yeah, there's something going

1829
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 1: on there, but he's not even totally certain of what

1830
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:30,640
Speaker 1: that is. But there's also something potentially going on with

1831
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 1: his team. The Colts have dropped two of three, they

1832
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: had a bye week thrown in there, and there's nothing.

1833
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 1: As I mentioned with the Kansas City game, it's not

1834
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 1: egregious to lose an arrowhead, but it was a bad

1835
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:50,719
Speaker 1: loss because you had the game one and they got

1836
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 1: away from it a little bit and didn't salt it

1837
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 1: in the hands of their best offensive player in Jonathan Taylor.

1838
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: More on that in a minute, But as for what

1839
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,800
Speaker 1: I was taught talking about the Houston game is can

1840
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: potentially be a boulder in the stream game because if

1841
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: they drop that and now you've lost three or four,

1842
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you've lost a divisional game,

1843
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 1: and you've got still Houston at the end of the

1844
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: year in Houston, and you got Jacksonville twise, and you

1845
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: got Seattle in San Francisco. That neither one is really

1846
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 1: a slouch. There is so much that potentially could happen

1847
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: if you were to lose this game. But for Daniel Jones,

1848
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 1: the question is, in fact, if you were to lose again,

1849
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: then you get into the area of what we would

1850
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 1: say is a skid, a losing skid. Daniel Jones, your

1851
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:41,959
Speaker 1: thoughts on not letting two losses, for example, turn into

1852
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: some sort of a habit where the year gets away

1853
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 1: from you just.

1854
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 10: Attacking the week as you would in any other situation.

1855
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 10: I think you know we didn't play our best last

1856
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 10: game against a good opponent and a really good football team,

1857
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 10: and you know that's going to happen. So I don't

1858
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 10: think anyone here is make it any bigger than that.

1859
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:03,679
Speaker 10: I think we understand the things we have to do better,

1860
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 10: the things we've done well all year, and you know

1861
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 10: it doesn't change our preparation, our process through the week.

1862
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,880
Speaker 10: So we have a mature football team I think the

1863
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 10: messaging from Shane and the coaching staff is that and

1864
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 10: to be consistent and attack the week with the same energy, confidence, enthusiasm,

1865
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:22,720
Speaker 10: enthusiasm that we always do.

1866
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So Daniel Jones, I think knowing he's got to know, right,

1867
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 1: And you notice, you know what I didn't hear in

1868
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 1: that Eddie is many ums and us, right. I didn't

1869
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: hear near the number of ums in US that typically

1870
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: he might give where he's searching for word. Now somebody

1871
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 1: has brought up the fact this might be this may

1872
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 1: be in fact perfect timing. Should we should we bring back?

1873
01:36:56,400 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: I just had to renew the elixir, right, So I

1874
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: had to renew the elixir. And for those that are unfamiliarity,

1875
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 1: how would you describe the elixir? For people?

1876
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:08,839
Speaker 3: A waste of investment by this company?

1877
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me.

1878
01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 3: We spend so much of our budget Jake on this

1879
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:18,520
Speaker 3: elixir and we only use it like once every three months.

1880
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,800
Speaker 1: But when we do, it comes under Rave reviews. You

1881
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean?

1882
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 3: Really? Yeah?

1883
01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 1: People love the elixir the elixir. How would you describe

1884
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 1: what the elixir does? The service that it provides? Because

1885
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 1: if I'm putting this on my account, and I'm not

1886
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: even expensing it. The elixir does exactly what.

1887
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 3: Okay, So what the elixir does is it listens to

1888
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:43,920
Speaker 3: whatever an athlete, a coach, whomever, speak. It listens to

1889
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 3: this clip, and you know, it kind of runs it

1890
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 3: through its little thing. Next thing, you know, it spits

1891
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 3: out what the player, athlete person is actually trying to say.

1892
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 3: That's exactly what it does.

1893
01:37:57,320 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 1: Do you think he's tried mustard with the cramps? I

1894
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: don't know, because you know I mentioned it's the what

1895
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 1: is it the enzymes that that comes with the mustard itself?

1896
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the enzymes?

1897
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 1: Uh huh, that's the if you take mustard when you

1898
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 1: get a leg cramp, the leg cramp goes away. Now

1899
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 1: what we do with the elixir, and we've had a

1900
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:21,040
Speaker 1: lot of success with this, we we play the sound clip,

1901
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: we run it through the elixir, and then the elixir

1902
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:27,080
Speaker 1: tells us exactly what it is that the person is saying. Correct,

1903
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: isn't that how this works?

1904
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 2: Yes?

1905
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So having let me let me see if I've

1906
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 1: got it up here where we can get the elixir running,

1907
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 1: because we've got to dust this off.

1908
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember your login information and all that.

1909
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I do. It becomes uh, it becomes a bit of

1910
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 1: a challenge now. And one time, I think we did

1911
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 1: the elixir and it started spinning out in a different language,

1912
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 1: and then I realized that I had an upgrade. Yeah,

1913
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean because it's an overseas product. If you're all

1914
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 1: one of the truth. Uh okay, so here we go

1915
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: a play for me please. Daniel Jones talking about his

1916
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:56,879
Speaker 1: fibula injury.

1917
01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 10: Uh, yeah, it was just something that uh kind of

1918
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,559
Speaker 10: uh he was hanging over and realized that last week

1919
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 10: and yeah, I've just been trying to get treatment and

1920
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 10: make sure I'm in the best spot I can be

1921
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 10: from the landing game or yeah, I think it's just

1922
01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 10: something I felt, uh last week And tough to say

1923
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 10: exactly when, but yeah, something I felt last week. I

1924
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 10: looked at and been been really good working with the

1925
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 10: trainers here and making sure we're ready to go. Got

1926
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 10: a good plan.

1927
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: Okay, run that through the elixir, if you could, please, Eddie.

1928
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 1: So it's deciphering what he had to say, reality. Oh,

1929
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 1: here we go. The results are in, right, Okay.

1930
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:42,479
Speaker 11: I got no clue. Man, tibula, fibula all bones man

1931
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 11: connected to each other. I don't know leg Boo boo

1932
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 11: tried mustard, but trainers are cool.

1933
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay, there he goes, Yeah, he tried and he tried

1934
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 1: the mustard.

1935
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 4: Right.

1936
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 1: See the elixir, the elixir figures out what's going on.

1937
01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the elix are absolutely like for example,

1938
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was asked about carrying the ball. If you

1939
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 1: look at that game and Arrowhead, the Colts in the

1940
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:13,519
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and overtime, what they have something like twelve

1941
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 1: plays for thirteen yards I think in that they got

1942
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 1: no first downs, didn't salt any clock, and Jonathan Taylor

1943
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 1: maybe the best player on their roster offensively in terms

1944
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 1: of putting games away, and they completely abandoned him. Right,

1945
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:38,559
Speaker 1: So Jonathan Taylor spoke about that aspect of kind of

1946
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 1: being buried if you will, on the sidelines or not

1947
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:44,040
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, but within the huddle and not getting

1948
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 1: his number called in that game Laden Narrowhead, the same one.

1949
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,600
Speaker 12: Just like in the offseason, you got to prepare for

1950
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 12: the workload, no matter how big, no matter how small.

1951
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 12: So in the offseason you prepare your body to go

1952
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 12: the distance every single time, and whether that's hey, we

1953
01:40:58,080 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 12: need you to block the mic and acter fifteen times.

1954
01:40:59,920 --> 01:41:02,799
Speaker 4: We need you to get thirty carries. I'm really enabled.

1955
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,760
Speaker 12: I'm ready to handle anything that my team a coach,

1956
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:07,160
Speaker 12: that they asked me to do. So this week is

1957
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 12: the same thing. We know, obviously know what's at stake.

1958
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 12: We know that we're back at home. It's been a while,

1959
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 12: and we got to put a good product on the field,

1960
01:41:13,320 --> 01:41:15,240
Speaker 12: something that's different than than Sunday for sure.

1961
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 1: Did he just say we got to put something on

1962
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 1: the field that something different than what we saw on Sunday?

1963
01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Is that what he said? He sounded very optimistic there.

1964
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:28,800
Speaker 1: Let me hear Jonathan Taylor one more time before we

1965
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:30,599
Speaker 1: did the election, Let me hear one more time.

1966
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 4: The same one.

1967
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:32,960
Speaker 12: Just like in the off season, you got to prepare

1968
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 12: for the workload, no matter how big, no matter how small.

1969
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 12: So in the off season you prepare your body to

1970
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 12: go the distance every single time. And whether that's hey,

1971
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 12: we need you to block them back or fifteen times,

1972
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,799
Speaker 12: or we need you to get thirty carries. I'm really

1973
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,840
Speaker 12: enabled and I'm ready to handle anything that my team

1974
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:51,320
Speaker 12: a coach, that they asked me to do. So this

1975
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:53,679
Speaker 12: week is the same thing. We obviously know what's at stake.

1976
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 12: We know that we're back at home. It's been a while,

1977
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 12: and we got to put a good product on the field,

1978
01:41:57,800 --> 01:41:59,720
Speaker 12: something that's different than Sunday for sure.

1979
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,679
Speaker 1: In there, he seems to admit that what came out

1980
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday wasn't necessarily Now, let's run that through the

1981
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: elixir and final because he sounds like, I mean, that's

1982
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,720
Speaker 1: a guy that was completely set all the right things there.

1983
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:21,680
Speaker 1: Let's find out what he really meant. Okay, here we go.

1984
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 11: I prepared by God a day off, but I was ready.

1985
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 11: I was there, the barbecue was cool. Enjoyed that in

1986
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 11: case my body is awesome.

1987
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 1: Okay, well yeah, that's probably about right. Right, said all

1988
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: the right things to Jonathan Taylor. But they're gonna have

1989
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: to listen. They've got to get him going. I mean,

1990
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 1: the reality, Jonathan Taylor is an elite running back. And

1991
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is an elite running back because he cannot

1992
01:42:54,400 --> 01:43:00,839
Speaker 1: only make big plays, but he can also salt games

1993
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,799
Speaker 1: for you by keeping the ball away from the opposition's offense.

1994
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:09,799
Speaker 1: And the reason that that is so important is because

1995
01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:15,680
Speaker 1: when the Kansas City, for example, they not only are

1996
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: you able to run the football, salt clock put the

1997
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 1: game away potentially get a home run with Jonathan Taylor.

1998
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: But in addition to that, that gives your defense on

1999
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 1: the sidelines opportunity to catch their breath, to get their wind,

2000
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 1: and they did not. They clearly got away from that.

2001
01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: And I think not only did the Colts sacrifice opportunity

2002
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 1: to you know, like they should have gone for as

2003
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:44,120
Speaker 1: we talked about that fourth and four, just to keep

2004
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 1: the ball out of Mahomes's hands, but also because that's

2005
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 1: the style that they've become accustomed to, that aggression from

2006
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen. But when they were getting away from that

2007
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:56,600
Speaker 1: and trying to get Daniel Jones going and trying to

2008
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 1: go back to that well of letting him complete passes,

2009
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,120
Speaker 1: letting him make play, what they were doing then is

2010
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:05,840
Speaker 1: not only never getting that train on the tracks, but

2011
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:09,760
Speaker 1: they also were not allowing their defense anytime whatsoever to

2012
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,200
Speaker 1: catch their breath, regroup, even look over and sit down.

2013
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 1: You know, you see it on the sidelines all the time,

2014
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:17,120
Speaker 1: when guys are on the bench and the coaches are

2015
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 1: over there and they're going over things and they're schematically

2016
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,240
Speaker 1: looking at it. They're looking at slides and they're saying,

2017
01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: you got to do this to that they never have

2018
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 1: time to do any of that, and they were completely

2019
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 1: on their heels, completely on their heels, and that's one

2020
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 1: of the things that they've got to get shored up

2021
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: before Sunday. Houston does not have the offensive firepower than

2022
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 1: does Kansas City, but still they do have a stout defense,

2023
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 1: and you're going to have to be more creative and

2024
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 1: more aggressive in terms of getting your offense going, and

2025
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:47,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor becomes one would assume a big part of that.

2026
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned the game on Sunday is going to be

2027
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 1: the culmination of a special weekend in Indianapolis because this

2028
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:57,720
Speaker 1: is the time of year, Tomorrow being Thanksgiving, and then

2029
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 1: you go into the high school football state finals and

2030
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 1: the weather, you know, obviously it's gotten colder outside, it's gray.

2031
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 1: You start thinking about the holiday season, and one of

2032
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 1: the things in which I have a great passion during

2033
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:14,799
Speaker 1: the holiday season is the hope for the holidays for Firefly,

2034
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 1: which was formerly the Children's Bureau of Indianapolis. I have

2035
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: walked through their facility. I have seen the resources in

2036
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: what they do and Firefly, which has been around in

2037
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 1: Central Indiana for you know, over one hundred years and

2038
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,920
Speaker 1: has been extremely involved in helping out families in central

2039
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 1: Indiana and notably and the thing to me that I

2040
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:40,600
Speaker 1: always go back to years ago, I was at an

2041
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: event for the Children's Bureau as it was known at

2042
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 1: that time, and I remember I felt this like tug

2043
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 1: on my sweatshirt and I turned around and it was

2044
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 1: a little girl that was probably six years old, and

2045
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:55,040
Speaker 1: she looked up at me with these big eyes of

2046
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: like this hope and this appreciation for this fundraiser that

2047
01:45:58,040 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 1: was taking place where I was just there as kind

2048
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: of a fly on the wall, but I saw what

2049
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 1: it meant for her to feel loved and to feel

2050
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,679
Speaker 1: neat you know that there were people that wanted her

2051
01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:17,720
Speaker 1: to be happy and were able to do what they

2052
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: could to provide for that. And at that point I

2053
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 1: went through the Children's Bureau shortly thereafter, and this is

2054
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: an organization that takes kids that in the middle of

2055
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 1: the night, mom and dad have an issue, the police

2056
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: have to come, something happens at home. Children have a

2057
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:34,640
Speaker 1: place to go with the Children's Bureau now known as

2058
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 1: Firefly where something as much as they can stay there,

2059
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 1: they can spend the night there, they can live there,

2060
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: they still get to go to there and facilitate to

2061
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,400
Speaker 1: go to schools normally so their peers are not aware

2062
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 1: of this disruption. But in addition to that, helping out

2063
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:51,600
Speaker 1: families and families that are putting the pieces together or

2064
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: just simply need a little extra help, in particular during

2065
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 1: the holidays, and hopeful the holidays does exactly that. It

2066
01:46:57,160 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: offers you the opportunity to sponsor child, sponsor a family,

2067
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 1: make it so that everybody has a Christmas and everybody

2068
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 1: has the opportunity during the holiday season to feel what

2069
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 1: it is that is so important that the rest of

2070
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:14,719
Speaker 1: us are able to enjoy and afford over the course

2071
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:17,799
Speaker 1: of the holiday season, both financially and also in terms

2072
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 1: of emotionally. And joining me now to talk about that

2073
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 1: and how you can help out. She is the vice

2074
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 1: president of Development for Firefly Children and Family Alliance Jolly Haven.

2075
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: Joining me on the job of house peel and poor

2076
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 1: guest line, Joey, how are you?

2077
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:33,679
Speaker 13: I'm good, Jake, how are you I am well?

2078
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: Thanks. I would assume that you are busy this time

2079
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:38,240
Speaker 1: of year. Let's get right to this in terms of

2080
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 1: hope for the holidays and the sponsorship that is needed,

2081
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:45,480
Speaker 1: the number of children and or families that have registered

2082
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 1: is roughly what.

2083
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 13: Right now, we're sitting right at one thousand, five hundred

2084
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:52,839
Speaker 13: and fifty four kids.

2085
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:55,759
Speaker 1: Okay, on five hundred and fifty four kids and joy

2086
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 1: in terms of the and you guys do a remarkable

2087
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: job of this in terms of the wish list that

2088
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:07,559
Speaker 1: kids ask for. You know, you think to yourself, yeah, okay,

2089
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 1: so I'm going to sign up and sponsor a child,

2090
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they all want an Xbox or whatever. Else.

2091
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 1: To me, it is amazing because you look in the

2092
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: humble nature of these kids and the request. Sometimes it's

2093
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 1: as simple as look, I'd like hygiene products, I'd like

2094
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, clothing. Sure, it's great to get above and

2095
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 1: beyond and go for the big toys, but I want

2096
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:30,280
Speaker 1: to emphasize for people that may not be aware of

2097
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 1: just the overall need for these kids, but more so

2098
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 1: the humility that comes with it, and truly the grace

2099
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:40,759
Speaker 1: that they that they enjoy during the holidays, but also

2100
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 1: the fact that this is not something where kids are

2101
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 1: trying to get one over, if that makes sense.

2102
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 13: Right, definitely not. So we encourage our case workers to

2103
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 13: sit down with each family and build a wish list

2104
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 13: that's approximately one hundred and fifty dollars in value, and

2105
01:48:57,479 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 13: that wish list does always reflect, you know you, items

2106
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 13: that they would really like to enjoy this holiday season,

2107
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 13: but we also give sponsors an overview of the items

2108
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 13: that the families need, because each of these families is

2109
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:13,640
Speaker 13: facing some really difficult challenges through this holiday season and

2110
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 13: we want to make sure that fundamentally those kids have

2111
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 13: what they need in order to thrive.

2112
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 1: The age of those that benefit from this program. The

2113
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 1: age range, if you will, Jolye, as.

2114
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 13: What we serve all kids from ages zero all the

2115
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,680
Speaker 13: way up to twenty three. We actually work with a

2116
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 13: lot of youth who are aging out of foster care

2117
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 13: and our entering independence on their own, and we want

2118
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 13: to make sure that those young adults also know that

2119
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 13: they are loved and appreciated this holiday season.

2120
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 1: One of the things that you guys do that to me,

2121
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 1: Jollie Haven is my guest from Firefly over On again.

2122
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: They have really statewide, but they are centered right on

2123
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:56,679
Speaker 1: the near west side of Indianapolis. Firefly Children and Family Alliance.

2124
01:49:56,800 --> 01:50:00,080
Speaker 1: One of the things that you guys do is that

2125
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 1: that is to me just so convenient and so helpful

2126
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,400
Speaker 1: is for each child that is sponsored, I say each,

2127
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 1: but for the majority of the fifteen hundred and fifty

2128
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 1: four that we're talking about, Julie, you guys have right

2129
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 1: there the Amazon wish list, if you will, where it's

2130
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 1: as simple as if you'd like to do it this way,

2131
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,479
Speaker 1: looking at it, picking out the five or six items,

2132
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 1: or the ten items, the twelve items or however many

2133
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 1: you want to buy, and clicking on them and then boom.

2134
01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 1: You can get it a variety of different ways in

2135
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: terms of the delivery. But you guys go am I

2136
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:33,160
Speaker 1: correct in saying to great links to make sure that

2137
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 1: this is as basically as convenient as possible for those

2138
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: that are willing to be able to help out in sponsor.

2139
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 13: Yes, absolutely, we definitely want our sponsors to be able

2140
01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 13: to help in the easiest way possible, so they can

2141
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 13: certainly choose to sponsor a kiddo and when they do,

2142
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 13: the received confirmation email that has that wish list in it.

2143
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,799
Speaker 13: But as you said, many of those kids have links

2144
01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 13: to Amazon items that they're looking for, So if someone

2145
01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 13: wants to shop from the comfort or their own home,

2146
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:06,599
Speaker 13: they can just fill up their carts. They can actually

2147
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:09,600
Speaker 13: ship those items directly to us. They don't have to

2148
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 13: deliver in person, but if they want to visit us,

2149
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 13: delivery happens between December third and just sixteenth, So we

2150
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 13: have lots of volunteers on hand to welcome them, to

2151
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,240
Speaker 13: grief them, to help them bring in their items. We

2152
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:24,680
Speaker 13: get everything checked in and then deliver it out to

2153
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:28,600
Speaker 13: the kiddos. So that is definitely an excellent way to participate.

2154
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 13: If they want to sponsor an individual child, they're multiple children,

2155
01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:37,639
Speaker 13: but they can also just choose to purchase items off

2156
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 13: our general Amazon wish list by visiting our website, which

2157
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:45,920
Speaker 13: is fireflyin dot org. Or they can make a monetary

2158
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 13: donation and we take all of those monetary donations and

2159
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 13: pull them together and make sure that the kiddos who

2160
01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 13: ultimately don't get sponsored will still have gifts for the holidays.

2161
01:51:55,439 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 1: Okay, fireflyn dot org is the website. Obviously, I would

2162
01:52:01,320 --> 01:52:03,760
Speaker 1: assume that right there on the website, it is very

2163
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:06,640
Speaker 1: easy and self explanatory is to how to get to

2164
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 1: the list of those fifteen hundred and fifty four children

2165
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:12,519
Speaker 1: right right there at fireflyi dot org.

2166
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,479
Speaker 13: Yes, actually I'll clarify that hope for the holidays has

2167
01:52:16,520 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 13: its own dedicated website. Okay, so that website is h

2168
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 13: the number four H dot fireflyin dot org, so you

2169
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 13: can get to it from either website, but that'll take

2170
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,320
Speaker 13: you directly there. If you're looking to sponsor individual kid.

2171
01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 1: Okay, two things before we let you go here, Joee

2172
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:36,679
Speaker 1: number one, I'm going to give my telephone number out

2173
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 1: for anybody listening. I think most people have it at

2174
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 1: this point. And I will also put up on social

2175
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:47,240
Speaker 1: media the link where people can immediately go and get involved.

2180
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: on where you can adopt or sponsor if you will

01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:07,320
Speaker 1: a child or family. You can do so up until

2182
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:09,800
Speaker 1: what day What is the deadline of when someone can

2183
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 1: decide to go ahead and sponsor.

2184
01:53:13,080 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 13: We will leave this a open as long as we

2185
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:18,839
Speaker 13: need to in order to get the kiddo sponsored. Currently

2186
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,600
Speaker 13: we are still adding children. The deadline for them to

2187
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 13: give us their wish lists with last week, so my

2188
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 13: elves are busy working away at that. But we still

2189
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,760
Speaker 13: anticipate having about eight hundred kids left to sponsor, so

2190
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 13: we'll leave it open for at least another two weeks

2191
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 13: in order to try and get all of their wish

2192
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:39,080
Speaker 13: lists to fill. But then the cut off date for

2193
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 13: delivery of gifts is definitely December sixteenth, because we want

2194
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:43,559
Speaker 13: to make sure that we can get that all out

2195
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:44,839
Speaker 13: to them before the holidays.

2196
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:46,680
Speaker 1: Okay, we want to make sure and it is a

2197
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,679
Speaker 1: goal of mind to make sure that we get every

2198
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 1: single child that is in need sponsored. So again all

2199
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 1: of the information there fireflyin dot org is the website

2200
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:02,800
Speaker 1: for the organization itself, Jolie. I do also want to

2201
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:06,320
Speaker 1: pass along Bruce Kidd, who is a friend of mine

2202
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 1: and a friend of this radio station. In the show,

2203
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: does an event each year. He does like in the

2204
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,840
Speaker 1: summer and then usually in the fall Concerts for a Cause,

2205
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 1: which is a fundraising effort that he does where he

2206
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 1: brings in money for different organizations. He knows what Firefly

2207
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:23,600
Speaker 1: means to me and he is a guy with a

2208
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:25,640
Speaker 1: heart of gold, and so yesterday I went over to

2209
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:28,040
Speaker 1: his house and picked up a check. I want to

2210
01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:30,680
Speaker 1: thank Bruce in Concerts for a Cause as well, but

2211
01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:32,360
Speaker 1: we have a check to start things off for you

2212
01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: for one thousand dollars, which I'll drop off to you

2213
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will get some five or six children

2214
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 1: sponsored and we can get the start on the eight

2215
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:41,960
Speaker 1: hundred that still remain. So I will get with you

2216
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 1: and get that to you. But it is my goal

2217
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody, all of the children are

2218
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 1: covered and everybody has a wonderful Christmas. So thank you

Speaker 13: All right you two, Jake, thank you so much for

Speaker 1: All right again, Jolie Haven, the vice president of development

2224
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:03,240

01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:05,640
Speaker 1: five three ninety two eighty eight. I will send you

2226
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 1: that link. Jola Erickson has been busy out of the

2227
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:11,680
Speaker 1: Colts complex and gets the lowdown on who's in, who's out,

2228
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 1: and what we're looking for coming up on Sunday for

2229
01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: the Colts in Texans. He joins us. Next, how often

2230
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 1: do the Packers play on Thanksgiving Day? Doesn't it feel

2231
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 1: like the Packers are a typical Thanksgiving Day team?

2232
01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 3: It is the Cowboys, the Lions, and then that other

2233
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 3: game is typically up and up in the air, Like

2234
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 3: remember Colts and Steelers has played on Thanksgiving before.

2235
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like the Packers and Bears like play

2236
01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:38,520
Speaker 1: a lot on Thanksgiving?

2237
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 3: Right?

2238
01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:42,480
Speaker 1: Am I wrong in that? Just because it's the NFC North, right,

2239
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 1: so like you naturally get it. I'm just picturing, like

2240
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 1: Joela ericson growing up, that Thanksgiving would mean like I'm

2241
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:54,360
Speaker 1: not gonna say mean more, but like tradition. I don't know.

2242
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 1: I just think of Green Bay as a maybe you

2243
01:55:57,280 --> 01:55:58,840
Speaker 1: know what it might be. It might be just I

2244
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:01,680
Speaker 1: think everybody was consin just eats and drinks all the time,

2245
01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 1: and that's what you do at Thanksgiving, right, Maybe that's

2246
01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 1: what it is. He can clarify, he joins us now,

2247
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so. Based on

2248
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 1: that introduction on the Jaba House Peel and Port guest

2249
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:14,080
Speaker 1: line from The Indianapolis Star, Joel Erickson joins us, Joel,

2250
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving me more in Wisconsin? Is that right?

2251
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 11: Uh?

2252
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you're actually correct. I looked it up while

2253
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 7: you were while you were getting doing the intro there.

2254
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:27,160
Speaker 7: The Packers have played the third most games on Thanksgiving.

2255
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 7: I think it used to not only not only be

2256
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 7: like Lions games. I think it was Lions packers for

2257
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:31,680
Speaker 7: a long time.

2258
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,360
Speaker 1: By the way, have you watched that Speaking of Wisconsin

2259
01:56:34,440 --> 01:56:37,880
Speaker 1: great Wisconsin traditions, have you watched that Netflix documentary on

2260
01:56:38,040 --> 01:56:38,400
Speaker 1: ed Geen?

2261
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:40,720
Speaker 3: I have not.

2262
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with it?

2263
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 7: I am familiar with who ed Geen was, but the

2264
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 7: murder shows are more that's my wife's purview more than mine.

2265
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 1: Well, you better keep things in line. It appears right,

2266
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you know, just for what it's worth,

2267
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 1: that ed Gean is he was a troubled individual. And

2268
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:06,640
Speaker 1: I went to Plainfield, Wisconsin once to see, you know,

2269
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of where things took place. And I will say

2270
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 1: they were hip to my tourism, if you will, and

2271
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 1: didn't take necessarily kindly to it. I can't say that

2272
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:17,360
Speaker 1: I blame them, but I've told that story before. No

2273
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:18,920
Speaker 1: need to revisit it. All right, let's get to this

2274
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:22,960
Speaker 1: Colts Texan's coming up Sunday health standpoint Daniel Jones, I'll

2275
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:27,000
Speaker 1: begin there. He seemed to me to be almost like

2276
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 1: when it came to talking about his leg, like he

2277
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what the deal was, but just knew

2278
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,840
Speaker 1: that he continues to get treatment on it. What's the

2279
01:57:35,960 --> 01:57:38,640
Speaker 1: latest that we can discuss or are we overthinking it?

2280
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hard to tell. They're first of all, I mean,

2281
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:47,400
Speaker 7: I think Colts fans know by now. Shane Steiken's kind

2282
01:57:47,440 --> 01:57:49,960
Speaker 7: of his pattern is kind of he'll tell you what

2283
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 7: the injury is only if the player is not going

2284
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:57,720
Speaker 7: to come back that this season. You know, That's kind

2285
01:57:57,720 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 7: of his mo on how he talks about him. Jones

2286
01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:06,680
Speaker 7: has been typically guarded about it. He's kind of dropped

2287
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:09,320
Speaker 7: some breadcrumbs, but then you kind of go, am I

2288
01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 7: reading too much into him saying, you know, it's good

2289
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 7: enough to go, which is why he said, you know

2290
01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:17,240
Speaker 7: the other day, and we're managing it that kind of thing.

2291
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:20,240
Speaker 7: But all of that is kind of the thing is

2292
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 7: like I kind of feel the same way you do,

2293
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:24,440
Speaker 7: like maybe we're reading too much into it because all

2294
01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 7: that stuff is kind of the stuff that that most

2295
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:28,920
Speaker 7: NFL players say when they talk about their injuries. I

2296
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:31,600
Speaker 7: don't know how you felt. I thought that he looked

2297
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 7: a little bit less aggressive on the scramble last week

2298
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 7: then he has previously, you know, and so I think

2299
01:58:41,120 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 7: it's bothering him a little bit, you know, Like they

2300
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:44,880
Speaker 7: were like, well, he had the first down, so he

2301
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:46,840
Speaker 7: just ran out of bounds, but like the Daniel Jones

2302
01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:50,440
Speaker 7: that I'm used to, scrambling is like borderline, a little

2303
01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 7: bit like almost reckless with trying to get more yards.

2304
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:54,919
Speaker 7: He definitely was not that on Sunday.

2305
01:58:55,480 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 1: Do you think that if the situation presents itself again

2306
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 1: where the Colts are in a tough game or a

2307
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 1: tight game late on Sunday, Joel, did Shane Styken learn

2308
01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:10,000
Speaker 1: his lessons so to speak? And by that I mean,

2309
01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:12,760
Speaker 1: do you see any way, shape or form that they

2310
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:15,160
Speaker 1: stick with the same game plan or do they say

2311
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:17,480
Speaker 1: to themselves we got to go Jonathan Taylor and Jonathan

2312
01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:18,240
Speaker 1: Taylor a lot.

2313
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:24,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the biggest thing and saying didn't you

2314
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 7: know when we talked to Sane on Monday about it

2315
01:59:27,640 --> 01:59:29,760
Speaker 7: and asked, you know, do you have any regrets? He

2316
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 7: said that final drive he definitely probably should have run

2317
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:36,400
Speaker 7: it a few more times, just with the clock situation

2318
01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:38,600
Speaker 7: where it was. I think part of it, and maybe

2319
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:41,640
Speaker 7: maybe this is something that they're that he hasn't said yet,

2320
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,160
Speaker 7: but I think part of it is just they outside

2321
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:46,520
Speaker 7: that twenty seven yard run, they didn't really do anything

2322
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:49,960
Speaker 7: on the ground, and you know they they didn't. They

2323
01:59:49,960 --> 01:59:52,120
Speaker 7: also didn't look like it also didn't really look like

2324
01:59:52,160 --> 01:59:55,040
Speaker 7: there was anything besides that run coming even in that

2325
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:57,920
Speaker 7: second half. If you take that carry out, which you

2326
01:59:58,000 --> 01:59:59,680
Speaker 7: know that's how the game works, but if you take

2327
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:01,680
Speaker 7: that carre out, he had eight carries for nine yards.

2328
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 7: So I think that that played a role in them

2329
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:07,560
Speaker 7: going pass heavy. Now, the pass wasn't really working in

2330
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:09,920
Speaker 7: the second half either, but I think I think that

2331
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 7: played a role. I do think though, you know, you

2332
02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 7: get in that situation again. The other thing I think

2333
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 7: he's got to realize is he's gonna have to force

2334
02:00:18,760 --> 02:00:23,320
Speaker 7: some runs on first down because those three fourth quarter drives,

2335
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:26,440
Speaker 7: you know, they throw, they get an incomplete or a

2336
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 7: short gain or whatever, and then you're probably not going

2337
02:00:30,560 --> 02:00:33,800
Speaker 7: to run in second and long. Stiken just doesn't do that.

2338
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:36,400
Speaker 7: Most teams don't do that. I think. I think the

2339
02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:39,760
Speaker 7: number is something like eighty five percent pass in a

2340
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:42,560
Speaker 7: second and long situation. So if you're going if you

2341
02:00:42,600 --> 02:00:43,960
Speaker 7: want to keep it on the ground, you're going to

2342
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 7: have to run on first down.

2343
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Somebody just asked me this question, Joel, and I think

2344
02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 1: it's a really good question, and I'm curious if it's

2345
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:56,040
Speaker 1: been discussed at all either with Shane Steichen or Daniel Jones.

2346
02:00:56,120 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned the fact that it seemed like Daniel Jones

2347
02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:00,000
Speaker 1: was a little more apprehensive, like on his runs getting

2348
02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:01,640
Speaker 1: got to bounce that kind of thing with the leg.

2349
02:01:02,360 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 1: Could that leg also have impacted his accuracy?

2350
02:01:06,880 --> 02:01:11,880
Speaker 7: I wondered if some of the like you know, him

2351
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 7: throwing off of his back foot and kind of looking

2352
02:01:15,040 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 7: a little bit rushed on some of those Butitzes, I

2353
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 7: wondered a little bit on Sunday if that could have

2354
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,560
Speaker 7: affected him. Now they he hasn't said anything that fact.

2355
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:28,160
Speaker 7: Dyken hasn't said anything to that fact, but it just

2356
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,680
Speaker 7: it felt different from what we've seen from him most

2357
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:36,680
Speaker 7: of the season in terms of like especially early in

2358
02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:39,200
Speaker 7: the season, but even even with the Falcons and Steelers games,

2359
02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:44,080
Speaker 7: it wasn't like he was, you know, throwing stuff off

2360
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 7: of his back foot. If anything, he was maybe holding

2361
02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:48,400
Speaker 7: it a little too long when pressure was there. So

2362
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 7: I wondered if that played a role in it, or alternately,

2363
02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:55,960
Speaker 7: if some of those throws were because he looked at

2364
02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:58,400
Speaker 7: the Steelers and Falcons games and said, I can't take sex,

2365
02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:00,640
Speaker 7: and I can't get fum, I can't fumbled the ball,

2366
02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 7: so when I get pressure. I'm going to get it

2367
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:05,240
Speaker 7: out as quickly as I can, and in doing so

2368
02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:08,560
Speaker 7: maybe sped himself up a little faster than he needed to.

2369
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Joel, I'm a little bit. Joel A. Erickson is our

2370
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:14,720
Speaker 1: guest Indie Stories on the Java House, Peel and Poor

2371

Speaker 1: five percent off storewide. You call also get an additional

2373
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty five percent off Jake twenty five the code to

2374
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:27,400
Speaker 1: use for the bundles on the Peel and Poor pods. Joel.

2375
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:31,120
Speaker 1: When it comes to Anthony Richardson, and I know, I

2376
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:33,200
Speaker 1: get it, I get that it's a topic that probably

2377
02:02:33,200 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 1: people are like, Look, Daniel Jones is the guy. But

2378
02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:38,480
Speaker 1: if Daniel Jones is in a situation where he is

2379
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 1: late in the year, there's a critical game he's not

2380
02:02:41,120 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 1: able to go, or there's a half where he has

2381
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 1: to come out, and Anthony Richardson theoretically a guy that

2382
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:51,240
Speaker 1: you would plug in there. But I have this bad

2383
02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:54,160
Speaker 1: feeling that this injury to Anthony Richardson might have been

2384
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:59,400
Speaker 1: more severe than we initially thought. Am I off base? Well?

2385
02:02:59,480 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, I think most people here, even with

2386
02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 7: something as scary as you know, orbital fracture. I think

2387
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 7: a lot of people kind of felt like he'd be back,

2388
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:14,640
Speaker 7: you know, in the first couple of weeks. But you know,

2389
02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:16,760
Speaker 7: what we've heard from Shane Psyche is that that I

2390
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:20,000
Speaker 7: needs to rest, it needs to get better. I mean,

2391
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:23,720
Speaker 7: we're we're we're a long way removed from that injury now.

2392
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:26,600
Speaker 7: So yeah, I would say just a timetable in general

2393
02:03:26,680 --> 02:03:30,120
Speaker 7: tells you that that injury was was really serious. You know,

2394
02:03:30,160 --> 02:03:32,640
Speaker 7: he had surgery on it. I don't know a ton

2395
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:36,400
Speaker 7: about those things, but depending on the verity of injury,

2396
02:03:36,520 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 7: it can be pretty bad. I actually had a guy

2397
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,720
Speaker 7: that I played a lot of sports with in college

2398
02:03:43,920 --> 02:03:47,040
Speaker 7: had a broken orbital bone and a really bad pick

2399
02:03:47,120 --> 02:03:48,840
Speaker 7: up basketball thing, and I know they had to like

2400
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:53,080
Speaker 7: reconstruct his his I thocket in his cheekbone, and you know,

2401
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:54,880
Speaker 7: I don't know if that's what happened with Richardson, but

2402
02:03:54,920 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 7: some of that stuff can get really involved.

2403
02:03:56,480 --> 02:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Has he been seen around, I mean, is he is

2404
02:03:58,280 --> 02:03:58,760
Speaker 1: he around?

2405
02:03:59,800 --> 02:04:02,720
Speaker 7: We saw him in the locker room last week. He's

2406
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:05,080
Speaker 7: got a scar on that saw He's got a scar

2407
02:04:05,160 --> 02:04:08,720
Speaker 7: on that eye. It does look, you know, is swelling,

2408
02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:11,160
Speaker 7: and everything seems to be mostly down but yeah, we

2409
02:04:11,480 --> 02:04:13,080
Speaker 7: that was really the first time we seen him though,

2410
02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 7: was what he was in the locker room last week.

2411
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Okay, in terms of the locker room, Joel, and you're

2412
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:21,320
Speaker 1: around it, this team, I mean it was everything was

2413
02:04:21,400 --> 02:04:24,560
Speaker 1: hunky dory for so long, smooth sale and everything's great,

2414
02:04:24,600 --> 02:04:26,920
Speaker 1: and now lost two of three. I realize you have

2415
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:31,000
Speaker 1: the by thrown in there, right, But do you since

2416
02:04:31,200 --> 02:04:34,280
Speaker 1: do you feel do you see do you hear any

2417
02:04:34,360 --> 02:04:38,360
Speaker 1: sort of an apprehension going into games or a tension

2418
02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:41,800
Speaker 1: or just a pucker that did not exist a month ago?

2419
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:45,800
Speaker 7: No, In fact, in fact, the thing I thought walking

2420
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:49,880
Speaker 7: out today, we've already done locker room today and they

2421
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:52,680
Speaker 7: have moved on. But like, the thing I thought today

2422
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:54,400
Speaker 7: was just the way the Colts were talking about the

2423
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:57,360
Speaker 7: stuff they have to do versus the way you know,

2424
02:04:58,200 --> 02:05:01,960
Speaker 7: colts online or however you want to say it is

2425
02:05:02,280 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 7: responding to it is that they do not feel the

2426
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:09,240
Speaker 7: same tension that I think is maybe present in the

2427
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,600
Speaker 7: parts of the fan base that are easiest for people

2428
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:15,320
Speaker 7: like me to see. Like I just felt like, you know,

2429
02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:19,080
Speaker 7: they're looking that, you know they're talking about, you know,

2430
02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:20,720
Speaker 7: we have to be better against the blitz. We have

2431
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:22,280
Speaker 7: to have more answers that.

2432
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:22,720
Speaker 4: Kind of thing.

2433
02:05:22,760 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 7: But it doesn't. It doesn't feel like a team that

2434
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 7: feels like it's lost its grip on the rope. It

2435
02:05:28,800 --> 02:05:32,160
Speaker 7: feels like a team that feels more like, you know, yes,

2436
02:05:32,200 --> 02:05:35,400
Speaker 7: there's some stuff we've got to fix, but it's it's

2437
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:38,360
Speaker 7: not anywhere near time to panic yet.

2438
02:05:38,240 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Joel. Most important question of the day. Turkey is

2439
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the primary, obviously most important part of the Thanksgiving dinner.

2440
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:51,080
Speaker 1: In the Ericson Household, the second most important thing not

2441
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 1: named pumpkin pie is what cornbread stuffing. It's pretty hard

2442
02:05:56,120 --> 02:05:58,520
Speaker 1: to argue that there was no hesitation there at all,

2443
02:05:58,840 --> 02:05:59,560
Speaker 1: like none.

2444
02:05:59,480 --> 02:06:04,200
Speaker 7: No, nor corn bread stuffing is the second most second

2445
02:06:04,240 --> 02:06:04,919
Speaker 7: most important.

2446
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:10,560
Speaker 1: That's the that's the one okay, now, difference between stuffing

2447
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:12,840
Speaker 1: and dressing. Dressing goes on the side and stuffing's in

2448
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:13,760
Speaker 1: the bird? Is that right?

2449
02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:14,839
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2450
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:16,760
Speaker 7: And then the other thing is so I don't know,

2451
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:20,120
Speaker 7: like so i'm i'm my my wife is from Alabama.

2452
02:06:20,960 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 7: I don't know if this is true of all dressings,

2453
02:06:23,320 --> 02:06:27,600
Speaker 7: but like when they make dressing, it is like a

2454
02:06:28,760 --> 02:06:32,600
Speaker 7: very thin texture where it's like almost like like the

2455
02:06:32,640 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 7: thing I always say that makes her upset is that

2456
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:39,360
Speaker 7: I say that it's like eating cream of wheat.

2457
02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:39,800
Speaker 4: Huh.

2458
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:44,120
Speaker 7: But that's that's kind of getting you. It's not that bad,

2459
02:06:44,160 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 7: but it's kind of getting you. The idea of what

2460
02:06:46,720 --> 02:06:49,680
Speaker 7: like they're dressing is versus like what I think of

2461
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:54,040
Speaker 7: as as as corn bread stuffing or dressing where it's

2462
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 7: you know, a little bit thicker and there's bigger chunks

2463
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 7: of corn bread and stuff like that. That's that's another

2464
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:02,640
Speaker 7: piece of it that I don't know. I don't know

2465
02:07:02,640 --> 02:07:08,400
Speaker 7: if that's just my experience with you know, Andalusa Thanksgivings, Andalujah,

2466
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:11,480
Speaker 7: Alabama Thanksgivings, or if that's the whole South that they're

2467
02:07:11,600 --> 02:07:14,960
Speaker 7: dressing is is a little bit more thinned out.

2468
02:07:15,120 --> 02:07:17,760
Speaker 1: Well, I got news for you, Joel. Based on the

2469
02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:20,880
Speaker 1: serial killer obsession of the wife, probably thin is in

2470
02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:23,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to your dressing from here on out, buddy, right.

2471
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean so in the Ericson Household.

2472
02:07:27,440 --> 02:07:29,640
Speaker 7: In the Ericson Household, I'm in charge of the stuffing.

2473
02:07:30,840 --> 02:07:33,840
Speaker 7: She is in charge of. There's two things she has

2474
02:07:33,880 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 7: brought from Alabama that are fantastic. She makes these green

2475
02:07:36,480 --> 02:07:40,720
Speaker 7: bean bundles. That's that's like maybe the least accurate name ever,

2476
02:07:40,760 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 7: because they're wrapped in bacon and they have brown sugar

2477
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:46,040
Speaker 7: all over them. And then the other one is she

2478
02:07:46,160 --> 02:07:51,200
Speaker 7: has a sweet potato casserole recipe that is absolutely fantastic.

2479
02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:53,360
Speaker 7: So that's those are the two things that we brought

2480
02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 7: north with us to make a part of the ericson Thanksgiving.

2481
02:07:56,600 --> 02:07:58,000
Speaker 1: I actually was kind of hoping you were going to say,

2482
02:07:58,040 --> 02:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Crystal Burger's is what she brought. But that's okay, right,

2483
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 1: I'm down with it. That's cool, all right, Joel, certainly

2484
02:08:04,960 --> 02:08:08,280
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. As always, we wish you and your

2485
02:08:08,320 --> 02:08:12,840
Speaker 1: family a very very happy Thanksgiving and pace yourself. Oh

2486
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:16,440
Speaker 1: you know what, actually, uh go hard if you need to,

2487
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:20,040
Speaker 1: because beer Faery is making a visit to Wisconsin coming

2488
02:08:20,120 --> 02:08:21,160
Speaker 1: up in a couple of weeks.

2489
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:21,760
Speaker 7: That's true.

2490
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, orders might be taking orders, so you

2491
02:08:25,240 --> 02:08:27,360
Speaker 1: know you don't have to ration, you know.

2492
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:32,040
Speaker 7: That's that's good. I have the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald

2493
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,680
Speaker 7: Porter in the in the fridge right now.

2494
02:08:34,800 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you listen, you don't want to

2495
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:40,000
Speaker 1: tell anything. You tell anybody, don't tell anybody that goes

2496
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:42,440
Speaker 1: down easy, right, I mean they take that that does

2497
02:08:42,520 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 1: not go over well for what it's worth, you know,

2498
02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:50,360
Speaker 1: all right, a little bit icy. Also, Joel appreciate the

Speaker 1: such an awesome environment and atmosphere. And yet there's still

2530
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:28,680
Speaker 1: plenty to talk about in the world of sports as well.

2531
02:10:29,320 --> 02:10:30,920
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that too, Jake.

2532
02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:33,480
Speaker 14: I got a little hoopage later on tonight at Southport

2533

Speaker 14: play a little ball and go home and watch a

2535
02:10:38,160 --> 02:10:41,840
Speaker 14: little more hoop. But no, seriously, this is how it

2536
02:10:41,880 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 14: should be done right here. And this is kind of

2537
02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:47,400
Speaker 14: an annual event we have with brothers in Broad Ripple too,

2538
02:10:47,760 --> 02:10:50,040
Speaker 14: so it's always fun. We have coach tickets to give

2539
02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:52,800
Speaker 14: away your chance to win a trip to the Super

2540
02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:55,320
Speaker 14: Bowl as well, at least a trip to Las Vegas

2541
02:10:55,400 --> 02:10:58,240
Speaker 14: to compete for tickets to the Super Bowl with our

2542
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:01,320
Speaker 14: friends from Zinc and bud Light. It is truly an

2543
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:04,440
Speaker 14: awesome time. And what is an abbreviated week Because we're

2544
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:06,480
Speaker 14: all getting together, or at least you guys are all

2545
02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:07,640
Speaker 14: getting together with the family.

2546
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:09,720
Speaker 2: That's going to be great. But an abbreviated week.

2547
02:11:10,400 --> 02:11:12,800
Speaker 14: Brothers in Broad Rebel, which is awesome, and we've been

2548
02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:14,520
Speaker 14: doing this for the better part of ten plus years.

2549
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:16,760
Speaker 1: Jake and who else lined up on the show today.

2550
02:11:16,800 --> 02:11:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean that stuff alone is awesome, but obviously a

2551
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 1: lot of conversation as well.

2552
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we go up to Canada.

2553
02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:26,320
Speaker 14: I think both d Nari and jj will join Pacers

2554
02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:30,400
Speaker 14: and Raptors later on tonight. Mike Chappell normally on Thursdays

2555
02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:34,280
Speaker 14: on Wednesday, Down Fisher normally on Friday, is on Wednesday,

2556
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:40,160
Speaker 14: and Bowen normally on Wednesdays on Wednesday. And hey, how

2557
02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:43,040
Speaker 14: do you think Bowen did in Broad Rubble back in

2558
02:11:43,080 --> 02:11:45,800
Speaker 14: the day when he was free and free and easy

2559
02:11:45,880 --> 02:11:47,960
Speaker 14: on this night? Do you think he went home with

2560
02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:52,000
Speaker 14: all these bros empty handed? Or do you think the

2561
02:11:52,880 --> 02:11:55,040
Speaker 14: did he trip the light fantastic. What do you think

2562
02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:58,120
Speaker 14: happened to Bowen back in the days to give his youth?

2563
02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:01,880
Speaker 1: That is a good question. He probably would be the

2564
02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:03,720
Speaker 1: first to tell you. I mean, I don't know. Did

2565
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 1: he go home and analyze whatever the weekend's matchup was

2566
02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:07,440
Speaker 1: going to be? Possibly?

2567
02:12:07,920 --> 02:12:08,560
Speaker 2: Probably did.

2568
02:12:08,800 --> 02:12:10,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, I guarantee you, I know way he had to

2569
02:12:10,800 --> 02:12:12,680
Speaker 14: go home and do back in the day, Jake, because

2570
02:12:12,680 --> 02:12:14,160
Speaker 14: I think you and I probably had to do the

2571
02:12:14,240 --> 02:12:17,080
Speaker 14: same thing back then too. But we were out there

2572
02:12:17,200 --> 02:12:20,480
Speaker 14: giving it the old college truck, and that's what matters.

2573
02:12:21,040 --> 02:12:22,960
Speaker 2: As long as you're in the game, as long as

2574
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:24,960
Speaker 2: you're in the now. We'll say this, this is why

2575
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:26,240
Speaker 2: we view it differently.

2576
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 14: With the Colts. I mean, you've got to be now

2577
02:12:27,520 --> 02:12:30,400
Speaker 14: more than just in the game. If you're Daniel Jones,

2578
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,280
Speaker 14: you got to be above it and be able to

2579
02:12:32,280 --> 02:12:33,240
Speaker 14: play at a high level.

2580
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:35,160
Speaker 2: But we were just kind of in the game.

2581
02:12:35,360 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 14: We were like the Colts of years in the past, right,

2582
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 14: a mediocre Yeah.

2583
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly.

2584
02:12:42,480 --> 02:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're we're like, he didn't be a Succi era.

2585
02:12:45,800 --> 02:12:48,080
Speaker 1: I was just hoping to be Don Mkowski and find

2586
02:12:48,160 --> 02:12:50,800
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle for six weeks, right, no.

2587
02:12:51,160 --> 02:12:52,080
Speaker 2: Hey, that was great.

2588
02:12:52,200 --> 02:12:54,480
Speaker 14: Seriously, you know what, you know, when we think about it, though,

2589
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:57,120
Speaker 14: the greatest lightning in the bottle was the end of

2590
02:12:57,120 --> 02:13:00,160
Speaker 14: that ninety five season. And how sure, I mean, how

2591
02:13:00,160 --> 02:13:01,520
