1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: They seized a fan morning show with KB Kaby and Jeff.

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: You keep setting a new standard for the greatest moment

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: in Indiana history.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 3: First it was winning a game like Morgan.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 4: On the Road.

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 5: Then it was beating Olio State the Big Day Championship.

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 5: Now it's winning the rolls board.

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 6: How would you describe the turn.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: Around at what you've been able to build.

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: And in a short period of time?

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: The hell of the movie?

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 7: Third down at eight, Taylon Black is back in the lineup.

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: Here's the staff.

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 8: Actor Fernando has time rowing over the meddle.

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 9: He's got back times stroll by Fernando back comes up.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 6: I'm on a cat's pipe backer.

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: Here's the staff.

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 7: Fakes the handoff, where's the front?

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 6: Does throw the end? Old Lord Trooper.

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 10: Jugara hid me in the backfield. Now with Bernanda Mendoza,

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 10: he takes the staff. Fernando looks left, Lasi dalla piel.

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 6: He's got some romp.

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 9: What a perfect roll by Brendando twenty four yards and

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 9: Indiana scores.

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 11: Again and Fernando's puts a man behind him that is Black.

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: Here's the staff.

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 11: Handle goes to Klan whites his way through it and

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 11: he breaks a tackle too.

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: What a program?

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 12: What they turn around for Indiana football final score Indiana

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 12: thirty eight, Alabama three.

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 13: But I'll had one thing to say, Who's your Daddy

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 13: is what I'm talking about.

34
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: The SEC can take it all the way back down

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: south and go think about it all off season.

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 14: Good morning everyone.

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Kevin bowing off today, much deserved day off before he

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: finishes the cult season on Sunday. James Boyd though powering through.

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: Good to see that you're healthy and no problems. Got

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: through New Year's Eve. Okay. I always worry about the

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: young single guys on New Year's Eve, but you did. Okay.

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm hungover still, but life is good.

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 14: Well, I'm happy to see.

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be here, happy to be talking about

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: the Hoosiers. And I tweeted out yesterday I think I

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: picked them to win by ten the other day. If

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 3: you've been watching college football all year long and you

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: just took the brand names off the helmets and the jerseys,

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: Indiana has been maybe the best all around team offense, defense,

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: the way that they play physically, the way that they

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: manhandle people on both sides of the line of scrimmage,

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: and you've got terrific position players, skilled players like Cooper

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: and Sarrat and Black and Himby and Charlie Becker that

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: could play for any team in the country, and now

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback. And you saw Alabama the

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: way they played the last couple of weeks. Truly, who

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: in your right mind that really watches college football thought

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: to themselves, Yeah, but Indiana is still just a fairy tale.

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: This is Alabama, this is playoff. Who truly thought that

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: that was gonna happen?

61
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, it's been an incredible journey so far,

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 15: and really, to kind of look at yesterday's game, it

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 15: started off kind of ominous. You know, you go three

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 15: and our I believe Franna Minosa might have been sacked

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 15: twice on the first drive of the game, and you're thinking, boy,

66
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 15: is this long layoff gonna get you like it has

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 15: for other teams. I believe you was the first team

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 15: since they moved to this format that actually won after

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 15: getting the box correct. So that was a bit, you know,

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 15: nerve wracking to start the game. I was like, boy,

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 15: if you get allow Alabama to get some momentum, get

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 15: up early, this could change this game very quickly. But

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 15: then you saw them slowly break them down, so they

74
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 15: just broke it open. And then as we saw throughout

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 15: that great intro by Kleb credit there to him, you

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 15: just hear how they just continue to hammer them over

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 15: and over again to the point where you start getting

78
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 15: into the weeds of the record book when it comes

79
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 15: to IU and victories like this and again, it was

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 15: a joke when I was in school, when you were

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 15: a big tens program and you won a couple games,

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 15: I'll bring on Alabama and now you bring on Alabama, you.

83
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Run straight through. Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: And I'll even go one step further. I was like you.

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, little rusty from the layoff, that

86
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: was not an impressive first three plays. Hopefully they get

87
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: that out of that system and start to settle down.

88
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 14: A little bit.

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: And then as the first quarter went on they got

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: that three to nothing lead. When Alabama went for it

91
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: on fourth down deep in their own territory in the

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: first quarter and didn't get it, and the way that

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: they didn't get it and the play call and everything else,

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: I thought, Alabama's not feeling all that great about themselves either.

95
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: Right now. They just made what I think will ultimately

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: be a fatal mistake. I won't go so far as

97
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: to say I knew the game was over at that

98
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: point in time, But that's the moment when I thought

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: Indiana's got control of this football game.

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely. And then you look at just the ways

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 15: in which they won. You had Fernanda Mendoza obviously with

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 15: some great passes. I thought throughout that game. The way

103
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 15: he threw the Lajah Sharad was on a rope that

104
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 15: was as good as against Charlie Becker made a great

105
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 15: catch over the middle.

106
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 14: I went up and got that.

107
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, he went up. Made his quarterback look pretty good

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 15: on that play. But and then you know, as I

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 15: was going through the game, and I think they hit

110
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 15: on the broadcast too, Jeff, like we were like, oh, man,

111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 15: Omar Cooper's junior has been kind of quiet, and then

112
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 15: there he is catching a touchdown pass to give him

113
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 15: a bigger lead. So a very balanced offensive attack, I

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 15: thought in the trenches where they really running it won

115
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 15: it as well. I mean, anytime you can run for

116
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 15: two hundred and fifteen yards, you usually win that game.

117
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 15: And then you look at the flip side as you

118
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 15: and Kevin pointed out the last couple of days you're

119
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 15: on the show, Alabama can't run the football, so they

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 15: finished the game with twenty three rushing yards. Could you

121
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 15: imagine an Alabama team coach by Nick Saban finishing with

122
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 15: twenty three rushing yards in any game anywhere? And so again,

123
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 15: twenty the rushing yards that they had, you had two

124
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 15: fifteen ninety nine by Kaylon Black. Roman himb got in

125
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 15: the end zone as well with eighty nine rushing yards.

126
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 15: So just an overall dominant performance that reinforces why IU

127
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 15: is the number one team in the country and still

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 15: the last I believe, unbeaten team in this country.

129
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, hey, and I don't know Caleb throughout the day.

130
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: If we could find even more postgame stuff from Fornano Mendoza,

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: he is one of a kind when he is addressing

132
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: the media after a victory. I could listen to him

133
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: talk all day long. He's just fun to listen to.

134
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 15: Look when he said it's gonna be a hell of

135
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 15: a movie, I mean yeah.

136
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: Signette said that. I'm talking about Mendoza just the way. Sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah,

137
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: pumps up his teammates. He gives anybody else credit. He

138
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 3: talks about. I mean, it's a recruiting poster when he

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: goes on to talks.

140
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 15: I'm sorry I misspoke there, but yeah, when I saw

141
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 15: his reaction to him not winning Offensive MVP and that

142
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 15: going to his offensive line in his center, I thought

143
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 15: that that was really cool moment there, and I thought

144
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 15: also on the ESPN broadcast it kind of psyched us

145
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 15: out with how that went because all of us were

146
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 15: kind of expecting that to go to Fernandam and Doze.

147
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 15: I mean, and it would have been a great choice

148
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 15: had it gone to him, But that was really cool

149
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 15: to have Pat Coogan stand up there and as an

150
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 15: offensive lineman when the Rose Bowl MVP. And I mean

151
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 15: at that point though, if you look at if you

152
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 15: just look at the ross stats, Jeff, you could pretty

153
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 15: much pick anybody on the roster and it made him

154
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 15: MVP when it comes to the offensive side of things

155
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 15: and defense too. I thought that they were really setting

156
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 15: the tone just physically from a physicality standpoint, when they

157
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 15: smacked the Alabuma quarterback Simpson after he got the first

158
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 15: down and he fumbles. I mean, those are the types

159
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 15: of plays where yeah, Pond's gotten good and then honestly,

160
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 15: when they bring Ponds on the stage after the game.

161
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 15: I'm like, this guy doesn't look like he's all that big,

162
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 15: but boy, he's a heat seeking missile. And again, this

163
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 15: team is all business, all class as well. I mean,

164
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 15: it wasn't like they did anything that was malicious or

165
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 15: dirty or I can go back and say, oh, you

166
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 15: shouldn't have did the No, they just beat it between

167
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 15: the lines and beat you pretty good.

168
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: They do, and they've done that all season long. Like

169
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: you take a look at the win that they had

170
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: in the Big Ban Championship game against Ohio State. You

171
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: take a look at the way that they controlled the

172
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: especially the last fifteen to sixteen minutes of the game

173
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: against Oregon, the way they control the fourth quarter against

174
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: Penn State. They everybody looks at the great passes and

175
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: the great catches and then you know, the big, big

176
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: catch in the back of the end zone. I get

177
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: all that, But up front offense and defense along those

178
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: those lines, they have for the most part, been physically

179
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: dominant against every team they've played this year. This wasn't

180
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: like they just had a great game against Alabama. It's

181
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 3: a continuation of things they've been doing on the interior

182
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: all season. Long. That's why I wasn't so surprised. And

183
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: also I saw all of the last two games of

184
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: Alabama and bits and pieces of them here and there

185
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: over the season. I saw them their last regular season game,

186
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: I saw them the first round game of the playoffs.

187
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: Even though they beat Oklahoma, that offense didn't look like

188
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: they were scaring anybody.

189
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 4: I wanted to jump in here, Jeff too, because I

190
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: think that attitude of physicality really spreads to the rest

191
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: of the team, spreads to your skill guys too. I

192
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: mean when you look at yesterday, obviously the weather such

193
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 4: a big question going in was it going to be raining?

194
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: And the field was wet, and the grounds crew was

195
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: pushing all that water to the sideline. And if you

196
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 4: looked at it, like Indiana's wide receivers were making plays

197
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: on the sideline, their DB's are making plays on the sideline,

198
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: and they would splash in that mud their jerseys despite

199
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: wearing red, you could see the mud on them. Alabama's

200
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: skill guys wearing all white. Yeah, they were clean because

201
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: they weren't getting dirty. They didn't have their hands in

202
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: the dirt. And I think that's the biggest difference. That

203
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: attitude just spreads, and I agree with James's point, like

204
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: to see the reaction when the offensive line wins the

205
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 4: MVP Trophy and Mendozo rushes over all these guys, Wi schover.

206
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: That is Indiana football in twenty twenty five.

207
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 3: Now, it was fantastic the first time, guys, since nineteen

208
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: forty four, that an offensive lineman has won the MVP

209
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: at the Rose Bowl. Since nineteen forty five, everything Indiana

210
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: does is like, yeah, here holding.

211
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 15: My beer, I'm gonna say, oh, that's like one of

212
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 15: the world was a lot different back then.

213
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: It's got to be Signetti's dream, Like that might be

214
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 4: just there's national championship and then second place might be

215
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: my offensive line winning an MVP.

216
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 14: You know I did.

217
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: I took it upon myself last night to refresh my

218
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: memory and actually after the game google Kurt Signetti and I'm.

219
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 14: Glad that I did.

220
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, because when you want to talk about coaching record

221
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: everywhere you know, you talked about google me. I win

222
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: everywhere I go. Do you know what his overall record is?

223
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 3: If you Indiana pens Indiana, University of Pennsylvania, Elon James Madison, Indiana,

224
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: do you know what his all time coaching record.

225
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 15: Is to say he doesn't have thirty losses.

226
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: Pretty close one hundred and forty four and thirty seven.

227
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: He's had two seasons along the way where his teams

228
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: were like one game over five hundred. It was probably

229
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: a down year for him, replaced everybody whatever. Since twenty nineteen,

230
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: the year before COVID, his teams have only lost three, five, eight, nine,

231
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: eleven games since twenty nineteen. It's crazy. He's only lost

232
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: eleven games as a head coach in the last six seasons.

233
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to start wondering, too, how did

234
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: the rest of college football miss on this guy? I mean,

235
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: he's how old and this is you know, he just

236
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: started really being a head coach like what ten years

237
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: ago or whatever. Like it's kind of crazy, and it's

238
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: fell into Indiana's left. They made the right higher, They've

239
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: supported him, and it's just kind of this confluence of

240
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: great things happening at once.

241
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: You talk about making the right higher, and we'll get

242
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: to break in a second. Here. I was reading a

243
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: lot of the postgame articles. There was one in the

244
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: Indie Star focusing on the president making the hire of

245
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: Kurt Signetti, and she said, basically, we found a coach

246
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: who sees hidden gyms and sees things in guys that

247
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: other people miss. This band of misfits as they've labeled

248
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: themselves right and rejects that nobody wanted. And during our

249
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: interview with Kurt Signetti, we saw a gym, We saw

250
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 3: a guy who we think sees other things that people don't.

251
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: And that's kind of how he got the job too.

252
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 14: And I love it and I'm here for it, but

253
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 14: I hopeful.

254
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: I also hope that because I have also broadcast at

255
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: all levels during my career, whether it's been Division two

256
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: programs or the Western Athletic Conference before doing some Big

257
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: Ten stuff and things like that, So I've seen where

258
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: there are at all levels. And you know this, James,

259
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: there are great coaches, even at high school, at every

260
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: level you can find that could coach anywhere, anytime, any place.

261
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: We just don't give him the credit because well, he's

262
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 3: never coached in the SEC, he's never coached in the

263
00:12:59,480 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: Big Ten.

264
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 14: But there are guys out there.

265
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: If you want to go kick the rocks over and

266
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: find him that just know how to win football games.

267
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 15: I would agree, But I would also say Kurtzignetti is

268
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 15: probably one of one, as my boy Kevin Bowen says,

269
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 15: build my statue.

270
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: Let's go all right, that's quick time out for us.

271
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 3: We got a lot to do today. As always on

272
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: a Friday, We'll talk to great Rakestraw and I can't

273
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: wait to talk to Rake today because there is Is

274
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: there a more other than Don Fisher? Is there a

275
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: more all Indiana guy that you would want to talk

276
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 3: to about? The putting all this in perspective.

277
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 15: Let's get Buck back on the line. Caleb. Joe Buck

278
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 15: might be the other one.

279
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Joe Buck talking about them on social media

280
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: all day yesterday too.

281
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 14: It was a lot of fun.

282
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: Our good friend Trisha Whittaker was there with her dad

283
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: and her brother. She was all over social media last night.

284
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: Dream come true for that family, dream come true for

285
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: lots of people. If you Purdue folks hanging there, you

286
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: only got a couple more weeks of this and then

287
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 3: we can start talking about a great basketball team. But

288
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: we'll tell you all about it next As we continue

289
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: at ninety three seven five, the Happy Friday. These are

290
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: the kind of workweeks I like, Take a day or

291
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: two off in the middle of the week, come back

292
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: on Friday, get ready for a weekend, and we've got

293
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: a lot of time to celebrate what Indiana did at

294
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: the Rose Bowl yesterday. James Boyd, I'll say it again

295
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: out loud, because it still sounds crazy every time it

296
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: comes out of my mouth. Indiana thirty eight Alabama three

297
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: in a game that might not be as close as

298
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 3: the score would indicate. I mean, it was all Indiana

299
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: all day long.

300
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 15: All I can say is when my Illinois played them,

301
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 15: they actually tied the game at one point. Alabama was

302
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 15: never in it. Thirty eight to three is crazy. What

303
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 15: a beat down.

304
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: It's a quarterfinal playoff game at the Rose Bowl New

305
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: Year's Day, the world watching Fernando Mendoza fourteen of sixteen,

306
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety two yards. But think about this,

307
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: he had more touchdowns than incompletions yesterday.

308
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 15: Nin's day at the office, right, not a bad day

309
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 15: at the office.

310
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: They didn't need him to throw more than sixteen times

311
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: because they were running the ball up and down the field,

312
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: all over the place on Alabama, imposing their will. Kaylon

313
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: Black had ninety nine yards rushing in a touchdown.

314
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 14: Receiving, Charlie Becker.

315
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: Had two catches for fifty one yards in a touchdown.

316
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: Omar Cooper three catches forty five yards in a touchdown.

317
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: Elijah Sarratt had a touchdown on four catches for forty yards.

318
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: Everybody was getting into the act. In fact, I can't

319
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: leave out Rum and Himby, who had eighteen carries for

320
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: eighty nine yards and a touchdown yesterday. Think about that.

321
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: All five of their biggest skilled position players scored touchdowns yesterday.

322
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, and their defense was humming. Six tackles for loss

323
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 15: got off to the quarterback. I thought a ton made

324
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 15: them uncomfortable. Forced turnovers, and when you forced turnovers and

325
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 15: you're efficient on offense, beat downs like that happened yep.

326
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: I had a pick and a fumble recovery, held Alabama

327
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: to twenty three yards rushing one hundred and ninety three

328
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: yards of total offense, and they advanced now to the

329
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: semi finals.

330
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,119
Speaker 14: Of the college football Playoffs.

331
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: Also yesterday, Oregon, the five seed, beat Old Miss All

332
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: right'm sor I beat Texas Tech twenty three to nothing.

333
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: Old Miss had to come from behind and win over

334
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: Georgia thirty nine thirty four. Georgia and Alabama neither will

335
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: be amongst the four main remaining teams in the college

336
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: football Playoff. Ole Miss is your sec representative. And how

337
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: about this, I'm learning this morning, James that they may

338
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: not even have all of their assistant coaches back for

339
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: the next game because LSU and Lane Kiffin want to

340
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: start hosting some recruits and potential transfers this coming week

341
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: in Baton Ruse and they might not let those guys

342
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: coach this weekend.

343
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 14: How about that?

344
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 15: That's wild. I did not know that, But honestly, everything's

345
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 15: so weird in college football and college sports in general.

346
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 15: But the game I'm looking forward to, obviously for next

347
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 15: week is the rematch Indiana Oregon next Friday night. That'll

348
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 15: be something to tune in for. And I'm sure Dan

349
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 15: Lanning and Crewe wants revenge, but you certainly will not

350
00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 15: be satisfied.

351
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Thursday night, Miami will play Old Miss and the

352
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: Fiesta Bowl that at seven thirty, and then Friday Oregon

353
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: in Indiana at the Sugar Bowl as you mentioned at

354
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: seven thirty. Also keep this in mind, Lane Kiffin, because

355
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: of the terms of his contract and the way it

356
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: went down and what they agreed to on his way

357
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: out picked up, he'll get all remaining playoff bonuses. He

358
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: picked up five hundred thousand dollars with Old Missus win yesterday.

359
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 15: Smart businessman, crazy coach, but smart businessman.

360
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: I'll bet they can't wait to host him when LSU

361
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: comes back to Ole miss the next time they play.

362
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: All right, So that's college football on a nutshell for

363
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 3: you right now. Later on tonight, NBA back in center

364
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: stage for US, the Pacers hosting the Spurs, coming off

365
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 3: the narrow loss to the Orlando Magic. I really thought

366
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 3: they might get that.

367
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 14: One done, James.

368
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: I thought the losing streak would come to an end,

369
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: but they lost the other night one twelve to one. Ten.

370
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: Orlando scored with eight seconds to go to win that

371
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: one by a pair, and it's ten games in a

372
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: row now or the Pacers. They will host the San

373
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: Antonio Spurs tonight, but a bit of a break. No

374
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: Victor wimbin Yama. He'll be held out because of what

375
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 3: they're calling left knee soreness.

376
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 15: I don't think the Pacers have really gotten any breaks. Whoever,

377
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 15: they played to Kevin's point from earlier in the week,

378
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 15: they played teams without their best player this year and

379
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 15: still gotten mopped up. And honestly, Jeff and I look

380
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 15: at them, I think of the Cole. I believe it

381
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 15: was from Mark Jackson. Bad teams find a way to lose.

382
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 15: Knows what they are right now.

383
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be a rough one, that's for sure.

384
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: Tomorrow college Basketball Butler will host filling Over. That one

385
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: starts at noon. You can listen to it here in

386
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: ninety three five one oh seven five the Fan. You

387
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: can watch it on TNT or True TV, and then

388
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: later on in the evening Purdue travels to Wisconsin. That'll

389
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 3: be on Fox TV at eight PM. And if you're

390
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: looking for college basketball tonight, just in honor of Kevin Bowen,

391
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: I usually try to needle him and skip over it,

392
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: but since he's not here, I will mention tonight that

393
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 3: Notre Dame plays at Kyle late eleven PM on ESPN two.

394
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 15: Well, let's hope they have some offense that resembles something

395
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 15: of the modern era, like their last victory.

396
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: It's probably like Kevin is not here. He's sleeping in

397
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 4: so he can stay up late to watch that game tonight.

398
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 4: That's probably what I'll call him right now.

399
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: I'll let you know though, moving forward, when Kevin's in

400
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 3: the studio I will be skipping over Notre Dame basketball mind,

401
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: just to get him going. That's your call, all right.

402
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: NFL Colts play at the Texans one o'clock on Sunday afternoon.

403
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: Riley Leonard will be your starting quarterback. What else have

404
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: we learned this week out at West fifty sixth James.

405
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 15: Well, it looks like Sauce Gardner perhaps is trending in

406
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 15: the wrong direction as far as playing, which I always

407
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 15: thought was a long shot from the start. He was

408
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 15: a DMP yesterday and then I believe when you look

409
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 15: at the starting center at Tannor Bordelini, he's trending on

410
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 15: the up side of things where he's made it through

411
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 15: probably some good stages in the concussion protocol. So it

412
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 15: looks like he might be starting come Sunday in Houston.

413
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 15: But one of the weirder injury things on the report

414
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 15: from the last couple of days is that Will Mallory

415
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 15: has been listed with a lung injury. And that is

416
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 15: concerning because if you think about lungs, is like, well,

417
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 15: what the heck happened? Did he get to get punctured?

418
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 15: Is he in the hospital somewhere?

419
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 16: Like?

420
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 15: What's going on? So we'll hear from Shane Stichen later

421
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 15: today about that, and obviously, knowing what happened recently with TJ.

422
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 15: Watt and Pittsburgh, you definitely don't want to see the

423
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 15: long thing on an injury report.

424
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 3: No, no question about that. One of the interesting note

425
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. You see, the Dolphins have

426
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: hired Troy Aikman on a part time basis to advise

427
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: them in their general manager search.

428
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 15: So I guess he would then have the same sort

429
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 15: of stipulations that Tom Brady has because he does the

430
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 15: broadcast stuff. So I'm sure there are some rules there

431
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 15: that he has to buy by and follow, but it's

432
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 15: a unique higher I didn't expect that at all. I mean,

433
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 15: I never knew that.

434
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: Was temporary though. Once they get their general manager, he'll

435
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: just kind of go back to I.

436
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 15: Don't even see what's the point then, I mean, why

437
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 15: would I help you get my general Managerment's going to

438
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 15: be here for a decade potentially, and you just leave.

439
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 15: What if he's bad? I want to be able to

440
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 15: fire you for making a bad hire.

441
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: Can he imagine if it doesn't work out every time

442
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: he does a Dolphins.

443
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 15: What I'm saying you can't just help me pick it

444
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 15: in lead.

445
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 4: He's making millions on the broadcast the Dolphins upset.

446
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: That'd be crazy. I also saw that Trevon Diggs was

447
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: picked up by the Green Bay Packers yesterday. I claimed

448
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: off waivers. How about that.

449
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, we'll see if he's got anything left in the tank.

450
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 15: He is not the player he once was.

451
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a bad knee injury two seasons ago

452
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: and he hasn't quite been the same since really promising

453
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 3: early couple of years in his career. All right, that's

454
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 3: what's happening in the world of sports right here, right now.

455
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 3: Coming up in a moment, we'll talk more about Indiana's

456
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: big beatdown of the Alabama Crimson Tide thirty eight three

457
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 3: at the Rose Bowl yesterday. Also, get ready to go

458
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: for the final game of the year with the Indianapolis

459
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 3: cultinate sets up so many questions about what happens next.

460
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it all. Ninety three five and one seven.

461
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: Jay Querry had one of the best social media posts

462
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 3: last night after the game.

463
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 14: He just tweeted.

464
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: Out Hoosiers cream the Crimson Ah.

465
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 14: See what you did there, Jake. It's good stuff right there.

466
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 15: As a little Dad, Joe Gever, but it works, maybe

467
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 15: it wor all the jokes are funnier when you win.

468
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 15: And also, nice little troll job there from our Caleb Zoover.

469
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 14: Oh, he's all about the troll job.

470
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 15: Sweet home in Alabama. They're at home right now.

471
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: Patty James, come on, I learned from the best. I

472
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: learned from you. You gotta be petty right.

473
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, I'll say you learned from Mark Dyton, who's

474
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 15: also from the Petty family. So just an outstanding victory

475
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 15: yesterday in the Rose Bowl, And what made it cooler

476
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 15: to me, Jeff, was having it done on like that

477
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 15: iconic stage. I mean, everyone knows about the Rose Bowl,

478
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 15: everyone knows how big of a deal it is to

479
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 15: play there, and just the history of that venue. And

480
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 15: so for you to be having such a historic campaign

481
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 15: sort of not I can't even say captain that venue,

482
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 15: but to be elevated in that venue, it was really

483
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 15: cool to see.

484
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

485
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 14: I think. Also on social media, story are a good friend.

486
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: Dominic Miranda of Channel thirteen tweeted out, man, they should

487
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: just have the National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl

488
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: every year. That should just be like the permanent National

489
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: championship game.

490
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 15: Yeah, I do think there are more tweaks to be

491
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 15: made to the landscape of the coastball play, not necessarily

492
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 15: like the team sizes. I just mean, you know, Dan

493
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 15: Lanning has been pushing, Hey, we should have these games,

494
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 15: these semi final games or quarterfinal games at home stown

495
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 15: the actual campus, and I do think that would be

496
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 15: really cool. He even admitted, Hey, that means we would

497
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 15: have been going to Lubbic, Texas to play Texas Tech,

498
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 15: and what I have really wanted that, know, but they

499
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 15: earned that with the way they were seated. So some

500
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 15: tweaks that he made, I'm sure in the future, but nevertheless, here,

501
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 15: right now, in the present, Indiana has the best football

502
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 15: team in the country, and every time you think it

503
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 15: can't get much better, they just continue to impress. And boy,

504
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 15: I guess if there was ever a four warning, it

505
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 15: was basically when Kurzignetti said they didn't have too many

506
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 15: good practices out there in California, and I was thinking, oh, boy, Alabama,

507
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 15: if this guy is saying that, it's probably not just

508
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 15: lip service, but he has a unique ability to get

509
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 15: his team's attention and for them to I can't say

510
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 15: rise to the occasion, because you don't really rise to

511
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 15: something that you're not prepared for. They're just there already

512
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 15: and they meet the moment because they do every day

513
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 15: in practice that I would assume.

514
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 3: I also love the fact that Kurt Signetti he just

515
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: looks like he in a sour Patch kid at all times,

516
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: no matter what's going.

517
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 15: I was gonna say, but I never get sweeter. He

518
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 15: just gets mad the entire game.

519
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 14: He's got that, He's got that.

520
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: Look on his face like I'm gonna kill somebody in

521
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: about three seconds. It's the look that every kid sees

522
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 3: on their father's face when they've done something wrong, and

523
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: it's there all the time.

524
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 15: I can't believe.

525
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: You just don't even look at me right now. And

526
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if they scored a touchdown, if they

527
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: got a big first down, if they just converted a

528
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 3: fourth and long, if they just picked off a pass

529
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: for a touchdown at our pick six, He does not

530
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: change expression. I think it's a great point.

531
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: Jeff and I brought up earlier about how the Indiana

532
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: skill players are getting their jerseys dirty being really physical

533
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: and Alabama wasn't. And obviously we've talked about how Indiana

534
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: just in the trenches. Is is just such a different team.

535
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 4: And those two things are symbolic of the Signetti era.

536
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: And the other thing that I think is symbolic of

537
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: this era is that teams with a buy in the

538
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: college football Playoff, when it's expanded to twelve teams are

539
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 4: one and seven. The only team that's one is Indiana.

540
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: And I really do believe that Indiana is the no

541
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 4: excuses program right now in college football, and nobody embodies

542
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: that more than their head coach. And it just fits

543
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: everything that he preaches, everything he talks about, everything that

544
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 4: he does so perfectly. And I think, James, you're right

545
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: on that stage four o'clock window on New Year's Day

546
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 4: at the Rose, Well, that's where you want to be.

547
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 4: And I think if there was anyone who was not

548
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: a believer, which is crazy to me, that you would

549
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 4: still be that way. They were convinced yesterday for sure.

550
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: You know, Nick Shaban had said all his golfing buddies

551
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 3: think that, and I'll clean it up for us. But

552
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: he had said on the pregame yesterday the fact that

553
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: all of his buddies just think that Alabama's going to

554
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: kick the blank out of Indiana, And I'm like, those

555
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: people have not been watching college football here long. It's

556
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: not like Alabama's been great. Even in that win over Oklahoma.

557
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 3: I don't know how much of that game you watched, James.

558
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: Even in the winner of Oklahoma in the first round,

559
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: they didn't. Neither team looked very good. Neither team looked

560
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: like they belong in the playoff in that one. By

561
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: the way, Paul VI Mellman also pointing out that yes,

562
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: IU is the first and only team to do it

563
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: coming off the buy and if they went out, they

564
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: will also be the only team to win sixteen games

565
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: ever in a college football season.

566
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 15: Boy. Yeah, And from a physicality standpoint, I guess the

567
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 15: buye is probably helpful in that regard because you don't

568
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 15: want to, you know, get too banged up. But I mean,

569
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 15: at that point, it got to a point where I

570
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 15: was thinking, how many backups can you put in? Because

571
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 15: this thing is ugly? And credit to their defensive line,

572
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 15: you know, we talked a lot about the Stephen dalen

573
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 15: daily injury and him being absent for this playoff run,

574
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 15: but I think that that is one of their deeper

575
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 15: units on the team, and they certainly got after the

576
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 15: Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.

577
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: The only thing I didn't get to see yesterday that

578
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: I really wanted to see at the very end, although

579
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how hard Indiana was trying, I would

580
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: have loved to see it. And Alberta min does a

581
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: touchdown throw that would have been so awesome.

582
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 14: That would have just been you.

583
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 3: Want to talk about the sprinkle on top of the cherry,

584
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: on top of the cake. That would have been it

585
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: right there, right, Yeah, for sure, that cool. So anyway,

586
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 3: I you on their way now to the semi finals.

587
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: They'll play Oregon again. We'll talk about that all week

588
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: next week. But man, Dan Henning is a great coach,

589
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: Dan Lanning. I'm sorry, Dan Lanning. Dan hitting an old

590
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: NFL coach. Dan Lanning a terrific, terrific coach. They've got talent,

591
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: they've got a quarterback. Although I didn't think that that

592
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: more looked particularly great yesterday. I always get worried about

593
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: playing a team two times in one season if they're

594
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 3: a good team, and.

595
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 15: They are they're a great team. They played Indiana very

596
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 15: tough in that game. It wasn't like what we've seen

597
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 15: from the last two performances from this IU team. It

598
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 15: felt that felt like more of the Big Ten sort

599
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 15: of championship game against Ohio State, where it was gonna

600
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 15: grind it out game, you know who's gonna make the

601
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 15: big plays late. So perhaps that's another opportunity for Indiana

602
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 15: to win in that fashion. But they've won in a

603
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 15: variety of ways this year, and I don't see a

604
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 15: reason why they wouldn't be favored in that game. But

605
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 15: I'm excited for it. And you know, it's one of

606
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 15: those things where you can't fast forward just yet to

607
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 15: the future. But boy, these seven days are going to

608
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 15: drag a little bit before we can get back on

609
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 15: here and talk about you know what's going on.

610
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, so they win that.

611
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: Also, there were people tweeting at us and texting us

612
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: yesterday during the game. At the very end, Josh and

613
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: Mooresville says, Paul fine Baumb can eat it. Everybody was

614
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: looking for Paul Finebaumb and what Paul had to say

615
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: about Alabama yesterday. He's probably all up in his fields

616
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: right now. And people were doing this during the game

617
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: early this morning when we first got down here. Anonymous

618
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: Texters says, years down the road, if you met a

619
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: past IU football player you didn't know and they told

620
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: you they played for IU, wouldn't your first question be

621
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: before or after SIG came? Because playing for IU means

622
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: two different things during those time periods. Having played for

623
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: IU during SIG means a lot. Having played for IU

624
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago meant nothing. Although I will

625
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: say we did have a nice year from Tom Allen.

626
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: It was a fun year from Tom Allen.

627
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, but you know it wasn't this. This is this

628
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 15: is different. So I am very excited for the future.

629
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. And so that's that's where we're at right now.

630
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: On Indiana and Kurt Signetti. But anyway, someone says, anybody

631
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: check on Finebaum or Saban, Charles says, Iowa, Oregon, Ucla,

632
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: Penn State, Ohio State, Alabama undefeated season, first Big Ten title.

633
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 14: First Rose Bowl title, all in one season.

634
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: And somehow, some way, all the so called sports analysts

635
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: are gonna kiss the secs, but put the respect on

636
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: the Hoosiers name. That's Charles. Check it in. They have

637
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: clicked off twenty again googling last night, and it's easy math.

638
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: Kurtziknetty at Indiana is now twenty five and two.

639
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 15: Is that good?

640
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 14: That's pretty good.

641
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: And they've beaten Ohio State, They've beaten Alabama, They've beaten

642
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 3: Oregon on the road, They've beaten Penn State on the road,

643
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 3: they beat Michigan, who was coming off a national championship

644
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: game last year.

645
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 14: They just keep ticking off the boxes.

646
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 15: James, Yeah, and I think at this point, if you're

647
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 15: not considering I you to be a real threat to

648
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 15: win a national championship as a number one ranked team

649
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 15: in the country, you're just a hater. And I respect it.

650
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 15: I mean, you stick to your hate and around these

651
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 15: parts that's a lot. That's what I believe. You're gonna

652
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 15: be a hater. You gotta be a hater through and through.

653
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 15: But at the same time, I'm just not sure. At

654
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 15: the same time, I'm just not sure how you cannot

655
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 15: believe in this team. They put it on tape for

656
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 15: two years now, especially this year, and they continue. I

657
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 15: went in variety of ways, and the Heisman Trophy winner

658
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 15: looks good, the defense looks great, coach is great. And

659
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 15: I loved a little finger gun he gave to Pat

660
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 15: McAfee after the game. It's the kind of singing like yeah,

661
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 15: we're coming yep.

662
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: And so that's where we're at Indiana getting ready for

663
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: a semi final game against Oregon. It'll be a rematch

664
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: of a regular season game in which Fernando Mendoza I thought,

665
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: had one of his first real signature Heisman Trophy moments.

666
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: I still go back to how unflappable he was in

667
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: that Oregon game after he threw the pick six, as

668
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 3: I could never happened, James, He's just got right back

669
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: out there and started making plays and righted the wrong

670
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 3: and led his team to a victory at Austin Stadium

671
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: on the road.

672
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 14: And I was at that that was.

673
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: The moment for me. I was like, Okay, we know

674
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: this Indiana team is good, but maybe this team's special.

675
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: That was the moment I kind of first took good distinction.

676
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 3: This might be special. And then when they got the

677
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: comeback win and the incredible catch at Penn State, I thought, now,

678
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: not only is this team special, but you know, every

679
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: great team, every championship team, there's a little fairy dust

680
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: sprinkled on you somewhere along the way right and I

681
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: thought that was their their kind of fairy dust moment

682
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: there where the luck and Lady Luck was kind of

683
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: shining on them. Yeah.

684
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 15: The last thing I'll say real quick is in a

685
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 15: year of Indiana sports where it feels like you're just

686
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 15: waiting to exhale or you have like that heartbreak at

687
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 15: the end when it comes to the Pacers and the

688
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 15: Fever and Purdue and then Clawa Tournament. This team, I

689
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 15: don't get that feeling where I'm like nervous of when

690
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 15: the other shoe's gonna drop. I genuinely look at them

691
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 15: and think, this isn't like a Cinderella esque run as

692
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 15: much as it is a dominant run. Like, for example,

693
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 15: with the Pacers, it was like, boy, they're making shots

694
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 15: in the last second and Halliburton shoes the jumper in

695
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 15: New York and it goes hot sky high and it

696
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 15: falls in. Isn't happening with IU to this degree. And

697
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 15: they've had some moments like that, But I think a

698
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 15: lot of their big moments are just literally playing better

699
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 15: football and not having like a bounce to go their way.

700
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 15: I mean, you can look at the Omar Cooper junior

701
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 15: catch at Penn State, but that's also just a hell

702
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 15: of a catch. But beyond that, how many other moments

703
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 15: can we look at and say, oh, this is where

704
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 15: they barely wanted. The football gods rewarded them. The football

705
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 15: guards are rewarding them be cause they're just beating the

706
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 15: crap out of people.

707
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again physically just dominating teams on the line

708
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, and that's been fun to watch. And again

709
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: they will play a semi final game against Oregon. We'll

710
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: be talking about that all week next week. But I

711
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: do want to step in and celebrate what yesterday meant

712
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: to so many people who have been Indiana fans. I

713
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: haven't had a chance to talk to him yet, but

714
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: one of my really good friends behind the scenes at

715
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: ESPN that I've known for years and years, Jeff Martindale,

716
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 3: who's a really good friend of mine, grew.

717
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 14: Up in Central Indiana, central and southern.

718
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: Indiana, went to Indiana, and even after the Big Ten

719
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 3: Talent title game we were texting back and forth. He goes, Dude,

720
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: I literally have tears in my eyes right now. What

721
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: this means to the people who've been lifelong who's your

722
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 3: fans and grown up around here loved sports. I don't

723
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: even know how you quantify.

724
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 15: It, James, you really can, honestly, I guess it's just

725
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 15: a feeling. I did have someone that I know personally

726
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 15: over at the game in the Rose Bowl, and I'm

727
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 15: sure they had a great time. And to kind of

728
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 15: explain to this, we have a message on the text line.

729
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 15: The question is, James, I'll do a lot of social media,

730
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 15: can you explain the McAfee situation you were talking about?

731
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 15: So after the game, Pat McAfee, who was on the

732
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 15: ESPN set, posted a video of him looking over at

733
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 15: Kurt Signetti after they had won the Rose Bowl, and

734
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 15: Kurt Signetti turns and looks at him and kind of

735
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 15: points and does a little finger gun thing where he

736
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 15: like and then kind of winks like we got it done.

737
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 15: One of the cooler moments you've seen. And honestly, I

738
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 15: think Kurt Signetti does a good job and moments like

739
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 15: that of balancing like the old angry curmudgeon that we

740
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 15: see on the sideline was also still acknowledging, yeah, I

741
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 15: know what we're doing is cool. And he walks that

742
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 15: line I think better than most because the thing about

743
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 15: sports and what they're doing is like, you don't want

744
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 15: to get too high off of moments like this because

745
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 15: you you st have to go play. But it was

746
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 15: cool to see him exhale and kind of just show

747
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 15: that he is human, he understands what he's doing is unprecedented.

748
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 15: And again giving that little nod, that little wink, that

749
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 15: little finger gun to Pat McAfee and Pat McAfee's you know,

750
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 15: flexing in the background. That was pretty cool to see.

751
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the other thing about Signetti, And I'll compare

752
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: him to Nick Saban, And he's a Nick Saban protege.

753
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: Obviously was a wide receiver coach and recruiting coordinator for

754
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: Nick in the early years at Alabama.

755
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 14: You know, Nick Saban.

756
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 3: Does it ever feel like Nick Saban was having any

757
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 3: fun at all? Did it ever feel like at the

758
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: end of the day on his drive home he was like, man.

759
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 14: That was a really good time.

760
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 15: Honestly.

761
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 11: No.

762
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 3: But Kurt Signetti, I feel like under that there's a

763
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: little rise smile that he gets every day now and

764
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 3: then sure, I get the sense that when he drives

765
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 3: home and he's all by himself in that car with

766
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: his wife on the way home, like he's enjoying the

767
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: hell out of this ride.

768
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 15: Don't you think I mean he's earned it. Yeah, yeah,

769
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 15: this crew has earned it.

770
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: I just see that different. So it felt like Nick

771
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 3: Saban was never happy.

772
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, and you get it done in different ways.

773
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 15: I don't want to see it here in act, Like,

774
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 15: don't get me wrong, dude, the dude is incredible. He's

775
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 15: to get the gold standard for college football. But to

776
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 15: see somebody else have this success this season in their

777
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 15: own way is pretty cool. And I guess the best

778
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 15: part for these airwaves is most of us get to

779
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 15: call him hours, which is just that just hasn't been

780
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 15: the case.

781
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 16: Again.

782
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 15: I'm waking up and I'm thinking, boy, I'm on the

783
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 15: twilight zone, but we're not. This is reality, and they

784
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 15: are two weeks away, two or three weeks away from

785
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 15: possibly winning a national championship in football, not basketball, but

786
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 15: football at Indian University in football.

787
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: In football, they like to say, Caleb on the text

788
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 3: lines is sa u Calber's is a different case. This

789
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: is not me No, all right, I didn't know if

790
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: you were trolling.

791
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 14: Yeah.

792
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 3: I use a three and a half point favorite over

793
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 3: Oregon right now. I think I think Indiana would be

794
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 3: a favorite over anybody right now.

795
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 16: Think so.

796
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, most complete team in college football.

797
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: But three and a half points suggest that the bookies

798
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 3: they want to take a lot of money on both sides,

799
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 3: so they're they're guarant they're They're basically saying by setting

800
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: this at three and a half, we think a lot

801
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: of people are coming on Oregon.

802
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 15: Well, I mean, I don't blame them necessarily because that

803
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 15: was a close game in Oregon. I think is a

804
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 15: very good team, but they're not IU, So you know me,

805
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 15: I'm not picking against them again. I think I picked

806
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 15: against them in the Big Ten championship game. That was dumb.

807
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 15: They won by three. But yeah, I think after the

808
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 15: Illinois be down, there's just not many programs I'm going

809
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 15: to look at it and say they have a chance

810
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 15: to knock off IU. And at this point, nah, I mean,

811
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 15: it's you've said this the standard of I don't want

812
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 15: to say it's like championship or bus because that would

813
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 15: be disingenuous, but you've set the expectation that this isn't

814
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 15: just a feel good story and we're fine with bowing

815
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 15: out gracefully in the next round of the Kasotball playoffs. No, no, no,

816
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 15: Indiana is on the inside track to winning it all,

817
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 15: which again sounds like I'm you know, speaking gibberous. If

818
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 15: you told me this ten months ago, I just.

819
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: Want to point out what this defense has done all

820
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: year long. We talked about Mendoza as a Heisman Trophy winner.

821
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: We talk about Charlie Becker going up and making that

822
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: great catch yesterday and some of the big plays he's

823
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: made in key moments here in the last several games.

824
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: We talk about Omar Cooper, even though he's been injured,

825
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: how effective and unstoppable he's he's been. I know, in

826
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 3: the first half of the season, James, you thought Elijah

827
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: Suratt could be a guy that could dude win all

828
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 3: kinds of stuff.

829
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 14: But let's talk about the defense.

830
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 3: And I'm not even going to talk about the first

831
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 3: four games that they're playing Old Dominion or Kennesas State

832
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 3: or Indiana State, whatever, But starting with the Big Ten schedule,

833
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 3: this is what the defense has allowed for points. Ten

834
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: to Illinois, fifteen to Iowa twenty to Oregon thirteen to

835
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 3: Michigan State six to Ucla ten to Maryland twenty four

836
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 3: to Penn State seven to Wisconsin three to Purdue ten

837
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: to Ohio State three to Alabama. That's insane. That's insane.

838
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 15: A complete football team.

839
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: They went into that game yesterday giving up an average

840
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: of less than eleven points a game, and they improved

841
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: on that against Alabama. I think that's the takeaway. You

842
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: look around college football.

843
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: You know, Miami and Ohio State have really good defenses,

844
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 4: but their offenses, even with some of the talent there,

845
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: it's like, I don't know, they're just not complete. Indiana

846
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: is a team they have different guys step up every

847
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: single game, and again, that's just another characteristic of what

848
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: co Signetti wants in my opinion, from what he talks about,

849
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 4: and you just see it play out every.

850
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 3: Time they go out there. It's unbelievable. Ohio State's the

851
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 3: only team that held them under twenty points this year.

852
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 3: Think about that. Today's college football landscape, it's all offense

853
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 3: all the time.

854
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 15: I mean, we saw a last night defense whole miss

855
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 15: in Georgia was kind of a shootout. And don't get

856
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 15: me wrong, I think Indiana can win those types of

857
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 15: games too, But their defense is for real. And again,

858
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 15: they're without one of the best defensive linemen in the

859
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 15: country and Stephen Daily. So the fact that they're doing

860
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 15: this without someone who I believe was probably what a

861
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 15: top five defensive interior defensive lineman in the country. That

862
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 15: speaks to how complete the team is and that next

863
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 15: man up mentality. All the cliches we hear, they're not

864
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 15: cliches with IU, They're for real, which is again very fun.

865
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 15: And I think one of the greater joys that I've

866
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 15: gotten from personally is not being the Indiana guy going

867
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 15: to different school and all of that is hearing from

868
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 15: so many that tell me all the stories about watching

869
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 15: the game with their father or grandma or whoever, and

870
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 15: sticking it out when it was really bad to now

871
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 15: having this opportunity to finally flex your muscle and be

872
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 15: center stage. And again, it's not a Cinderella story to me.

873
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 15: It's more so just a dominant one. They're Cinderella aspects

874
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 15: of it, don't get me wrong, But when I think

875
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 15: of Cinderella runs, I think of it as kind of

876
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 15: being a little bit fluky, where it's like, yeah, a

877
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 15: bounce go your way, or a call go your.

878
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: Way, or maybe you've got a great defense, but not

879
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 3: a great.

880
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 15: Whats went their way against that team yesterday in Alabama.

881
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 15: They just boat raced them and beat them down. I

882
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 15: mean again after the early three and out and in

883
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 15: their early field goal. Once they got rolling, that avalanche

884
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 15: didn't stop.

885
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 14: No, it didn't stop, and it's been fun to watch.

886
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 3: I also want to point out that while Indiana is

887
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 3: just a three and a half point favorite on a

888
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 3: neutral field, they did beat Oregon by double digits on

889
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 3: the road in that game. I know it was closer

890
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: than maybe the score would indicate, but it was a

891
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: thirty to twenty score. It was a two score game

892
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 3: that they beat Oregon in on the road at Austin Stadium.

893
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 14: I just want to remind you it's very true.

894
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 4: It's a very good point. I have a question for

895
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 4: you guys. Are we a fan? I know they had

896
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: to change it up because of the weather, but are

897
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 4: we a fan of flyovers to start the second half?

898
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 3: I kind of liked that. I'm not even gonna lie

899
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: over anytime.

900
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 4: I yeah, Like, I thought it was kind of cool

901
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: to start the second half that way.

902
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 3: I thought it was nice.

903
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 15: I've hadn't experienced too many flyovers just covering things. I

904
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 15: remember there was one, I believe for the Anty five hundred.

905
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 15: I'm not mistaken. That was pretty cool. So after experiencing

906
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 15: it in person, I'm for it.

907
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 3: I che game had one this year, I thought, James.

908
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, but you know, what it is. I'm not outside

909
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 15: to like experiences. That's the different guy. I was probably

910
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 15: phrase it like that. I haven't been outside of the

911
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 15: stadium or an outdoor those settings to experience it. When

912
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 15: I was at the inty five hundred, I had went

913
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 15: out on site little meat be a balcony to see it,

914
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 15: and that to me made it cooler than being in

915
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 15: some press box where you can't really hear it or

916
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 15: you know, or necessarily recognize the moment. So I was

917
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 15: fine with it.

918
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 3: There were some really cool photography shots of that flyover

919
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 3: the eighty five hundred last year too, if you go

920
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: back and look at that on social media. Many years ago,

921
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 3: I did an Air Force Navy football game. They do

922
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 3: flyovers right at an Air Force man man, but there's

923
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: nothing better than a flyover at any time you do it.

924
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 14: You can do between the third and fourth quarter. I'd

925
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 14: take a flyover.

926
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 3: I'm with you there, It's all good stuff. Let's check

927
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: the text line real quick. Great Rakestraw coming up in

928
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 3: just a moment here. Jeff with a Jay says, we

929
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 3: got how about that? Our last two texts from Caleb

930
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 3: and Jeff will be looking for one from James soon here,

931
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: Jemba the Jay says, I was thinking that Pat McAfee

932
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 3: and kurtz Signette video is before the game started and

933
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 3: just as they were getting ready to run out onto

934
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 3: the field, which makes it even better, like, yeah, we

935
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: got this. A lot of people want to talk about

936
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 3: Notre Dame this morning too. Charles says, all the Notre

937
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: Dames are shouting, See, Alabama didn't belong in. And I

938
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 3: was thinking yesterday during that fourth quarter, Alabama didn't belong in.

939
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: Neither did the second Power five or not Power five.

940
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 3: But the group of five school Notre Dame. You can't

941
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: tell me they aren't actually one of the best six

942
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 3: or seven football teams in the country.

943
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 14: I'll die on that hill. I'm not even a big

944
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 14: Notre Dame fan.

945
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 15: That's a good point. And also going back to this video, Yeah,

946
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 15: so I must have been confused. Pat mcaveee posted his

947
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 15: video of Kurt Signetti after they had won it after

948
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 15: but if you look at the video and you see it,

949
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 15: it does look like it's before the game, which makes

950
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 15: it even cooler that he could. Basically, the little finger

951
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 15: done is like you're calling your own child, You're babe, ruth.

952
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 14: Or something, which is right on brand, though, isn't it.

953
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 15: Yeah? I mean has he ever gone into it daunted?

954
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 15: What's the same.

955
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: He's a guy that basically it's the old cliche say

956
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: what you do and do what you say. That's Kurt Signetti.

957
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 3: It ain't bragging if you can back it up, right.

958
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: That's the other thing I always say.

959
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, definitely not. I mean, who's bragging now? I

960
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 15: guess the bragging is we just win every game?

961
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 16: Yeah?

962
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 3: Literally, Indye Finisher says, can KB check his soft Notre

963
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 3: Dame feelings at the door? He does realize Bloomington is

964
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 3: the powerhouse, right, I told you months ago. But I'll

965
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 3: say Notre Dame would have given IYU or Oregon a

966
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 3: better game.

967
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 15: So yeah, that that message. I read that as well.

968
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 15: It like started off as like a shot at KB

969
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 15: and then in it with some respect toward Notre Dame.

970
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 14: Well you got you gotta have both.

971
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 15: He's got a little balance in there.

972
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 3: That's exactly how it works with your buddies on the

973
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 3: golf course, right. I mean, you'll say nice things to him,

974
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: but it's always couched in a little dig there somewhere.

975
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 3: That's kind of how that works, all right, Greg Gregstraw

976
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 3: coming up in just a moment. Here it's the day

977
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: after Indiana just Boat races Alabama, and we're here for

978
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 3: it and we'll celebrate it with Greg Rakestraw next ninety

979
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 3: three to five and one seven five to the fans.

980
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: They seesed a fan morning show with KB, KB and Jeff.

981
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: You keep setting a new standard for the greatest moment

982
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 2: in Indiana history.

983
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 6: First it was winning a game like Morgan on the.

984
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 5: Road, and it was beating Olions State the Big Day Championship.

985
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 5: Now it's winning the rolls bol How would you describe

986
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 5: the turn.

987
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: Around in what you've been able to build in.

988
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 14: A short period of time.

989
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 6: Hell of the movie.

990
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 7: Third down and eight, Taylon Black is back in the lineup.

991
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 8: Here's the step back to Fernando has time rowing over

992
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 8: the middle.

993
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 6: He's got backers.

994
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 9: Trump troll by Bernando backs up by bloody catchpipe backer.

995
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 10: Here's the staff bakes the handoff, looks the front dust

996
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 10: throw the.

997
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 6: End up old hard trumper Junior.

998
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 10: To him be on the backfield now with Bernando Mendoza.

999
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 10: He takes the staff. Bernando looks left, Plasi downa feel.

1000
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 6: He's got.

1001
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 9: What a perfect roll My Friendando twenty four yards and

1002
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 9: Indiana stars again.

1003
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 11: Hand Fernando puts a man behind him that is black.

1004
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 11: Here's the snap, handle goes to kman fights his way

1005
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 11: through it and he breaks and tackle.

1006
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: Want a program?

1007
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 12: What a turnaround for Indiana football? Final scar Indiana thirty

1008
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 12: eight Alabama three.

1009
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 6: But I have one thing to say.

1010
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 13: Back in.

1011
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 14: What do you even say after that?

1012
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 3: Great job, Caleb, but Indiana just taking Alabama down, pushing

1013
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 3: him to the side. Moving on, I can't wait to

1014
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 3: talk to our next guest, James Boyd. He is Indiana

1015
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 3: sports through and through. He has seen the highs, the lows, basketball, football,

1016
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: even the baseball program. The soccer programs have had national

1017
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 3: appearances down there. Everything's gone well at some point or

1018
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 3: another for just about every program at Indiana. And now

1019
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 3: it's football's turn. And I can't wait to see what

1020
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 3: Greg Rakestraw has to say about a thirty eight to

1021
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 3: three beatdown of the SEC's Alabama Crimson Tide in a

1022
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 3: college football playoff game. We welcome mister Rakestraw to our

1023
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: program now on the Payless Liquors Hotline. Greg, I can

1024
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 3: almost imagine if it's even possible that for a moment,

1025
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 3: you're even speechless over just how dominant Indiana was last night.

1026
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 16: Yeah, we have run out of adjectives because so many

1027
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 16: games and somebody else said this and not me, but

1028
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 16: I have spaced as to who said it. You know,

1029
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 16: they have had like five or six different biggest games

1030
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 16: in program history in the last two years. That's one

1031
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 16: sign as to just how remarkable this is. Think about

1032
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 16: in Don Fischer's storied career, he never called the game

1033
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 16: of the actual Rose Bowl. Obviously, last year got to

1034
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 16: call a game from the Rose Bowl, but that spans over,

1035
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 16: you know, half of a century, and yesterday was a

1036
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 16: first for him. Maybe the modern version of this is

1037
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 16: in the last two years, one team that had the

1038
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 16: bye has now won of the college football playoffs, and

1039
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 16: that was Indiana University. So I can keep firing fats

1040
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 16: at you, but I'm still not sure if I have

1041
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 16: the full comprehension of just how remarkable, complete and thorough

1042
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 16: the turnaround of this program has been. So maybe the

1043
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 16: best way to describe it, or the best reference I

1044
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 16: can make is go back to when Kurtzignetti has the

1045
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 16: microphone at Assembly Hall as he is being introduced to

1046
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 16: the Indiana faithful produce sucks, but Soto's Ohio State, and

1047
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 16: so does Michigan. And in that time, Indiana's got four

1048
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 16: wins amongst the those three schools, and now will have

1049
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 16: the chance to play to be in the national championship

1050
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 16: game two weeks from now. It's stunning and staggering, and

1051
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 16: I almost feel like I have to say, yes, these

1052
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 16: are actual factual statements about Indiana University football. Rake.

1053
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 15: When you referenced that intro, I can't even call it

1054
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 15: a press conference. It was kind of like a school rallying,

1055
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 15: and he calls out the other programs in the Big Ten.

1056
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 15: I was thinking, this guy is out of his mind.

1057
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 15: And now I still think this guy's out of his

1058
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 15: mind because he can't crack a smile when they're up

1059
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 15: thirty points on the sideline. So when you look at

1060
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 15: how dialed in his team has been, he talked about

1061
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 15: how crazy the run has been, the historical perspective that

1062
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 15: they're in. But to push that aside and still get

1063
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 15: a seam to perform at this level, how much do

1064
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 15: you think that says about his coaching ability? Because he

1065
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 15: has a bunch of young people who I mean, I

1066
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 15: was their age at one point. I'm not too old obviously,

1067
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 15: but you know, eighteen and twenty two year olds, twenty

1068
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 15: three year olds getting him the dial it in and

1069
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 15: ignore all the noise, all the praise, and go out

1070
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 15: there beform like that. How much you think that says

1071
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 15: about just his level of focus and just his level

1072
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 15: of coaching.

1073
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 16: Well, I have said this in various interviews before, and

1074
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 16: there is a lot of coaches that do the rubber

1075
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 16: chicken circuit, the banquet circuit, the you know, teach leadership classes.

1076
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 16: I think most of them are crap. He is the

1077
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 16: one guy that I'm like, Okay, I would pay money

1078
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 16: to hang around his practice and see exactly how he

1079
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 16: gets accomplished, what he does in such a short period

1080
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 16: of time, and how the main thing is the main thing,

1081
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 16: how he stays focused, etc. The other element to think

1082
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 16: about this, and it's what I've said when I asked

1083
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 16: about kind of this team and why I think they

1084
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 16: can be successful. But let's think about when we kind

1085
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 16: of knew the forecast was going to be, you know,

1086
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 16: potentially sloppy during the game, which it wasn't. So hat

1087
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 16: tip to the ground at the Rose Bowl. Who never

1088
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 16: has to deal with rain but clearly dealt with it

1089
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 16: exceedingly well because it didn't rain during yesterday's game. But

1090
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 16: if we're like, if this turns into a slop fest,

1091
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 16: that favors Indiana because they're the more physical team. And

1092
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 16: the word that I keep using about Indiana is that

1093
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 16: they maul people. They did that. So it's it's one

1094
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 16: thing because in the past, if Indiana was gonna have

1095
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 16: any level of football success, it was gonna come because

1096
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 16: they they had a couple of talented offensive players. They

1097
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 16: were gonna out scheme or out gimmick you. And then

1098
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 16: that's not take away from anything that that Cam Cameron

1099
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 16: did during his time or I think we've got anything

1100
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 16: that that that Kevin Wilson did during his time, because

1101
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 16: they both advanced the ball not to this level. Those

1102
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 16: teams can move the football offensively because they out scheme

1103
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 16: you or trick You're out. Thank you. This team out

1104
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 16: thanks you. This team just kicks your ass. I mean

1105
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 16: that's what the team Alabama is. The is the bell

1106
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 16: Weather of the Seast. And it was complete bt A yesterday.

1107
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 16: And James, you can explain what that phrase meast and Jeff,

1108
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 16: because I'm pretty sure you get it. And he doesn't,

1109
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 16: but its ridiculous watching what they did to Alabama yesterday. Jabig, Yeah,

1110
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 16: you want.

1111
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 15: To take a stab at BTA What that means? Jeff No,

1112
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 15: not here, Delta ass that's what that means. And that's

1113
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 15: what that was yesterday Alabama. In my day we said

1114
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 15: b y A is a little Now I got to

1115
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 15: go watch him off. I was so Grandma would not

1116
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 15: be pleased, right, but it was necessary watching. When I

1117
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 15: watched yesterday New Year on a I.

1118
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 16: I apologize, but no, that's what I think about describing it.

1119
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 3: I think Mark Dyton tweeted it out almost word for

1120
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 3: word yesterday at the end of that game. I want

1121
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 3: to go back to just internal thoughts though, because it

1122
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: it's so meaningful and it's so new and so unique.

1123
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 14: My wife, who is a.

1124
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 3: Big sports fan, I call her the rational sports fan.

1125
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: She doesn't live and die with him, but man, she

1126
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: knows everything. She loves watching the games. She had to

1127
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 3: do something really important for a minute during the second

1128
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 3: half during halftime, and she came back at the beginning

1129
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 3: of the fourth quarter and I said, it's thirty eight

1130
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 3: to three, and the look on her face Greg was

1131
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 3: one of disbelief. Awe and joy all at the same time.

1132
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 3: When Indiana took a thirty eight to three lead in

1133
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 3: that game yesterday, what was going on in the Nagain

1134
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 3: in greg Raagstraw.

1135
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 16: In the middle of the fourth quarter, I kept going,

1136
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 16: They're gonna play Fernando's little brother, aren't they? You know,

1137
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 16: in a national quarterfinal in the Rose Bowl. They're gonna

1138
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 16: throw throw the backgun there. Not because they want to

1139
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 16: get him the memory of playing in the Rose Bowl,

1140
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 16: because they're protecting their starter for the next game. Again,

1141
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 16: that seems unfathomable to so many of us. For the

1142
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 16: fact that Indiana knock Alabama's quarterback out of the game

1143
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 16: again goes back to that physicality that we talk about

1144
00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 16: with this football team. The best experience I and give

1145
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,240
Speaker 16: it to you. And obviously I'm not as emostally connected

1146
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 16: to the Indiana football story as I am ser I'm

1147
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 16: about to tell you, but in my years of being

1148
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 16: the Iu Pui slash iu Indie play by play guy,

1149
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 16: the ultimate story I tell is about the one year

1150
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 16: that we've qualified for the NCAA tournament and just the

1151
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 16: way things worked out. Was in Kansas City and we

1152
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 16: rode a bus home after a nine o'clock Eastern time,

1153
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 16: you know game. So we got it all back into

1154
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 16: camps about seven am or seven thirty, and most of

1155
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 16: that trip back overnight was was myself, assistant coaches, et cetera,

1156
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 16: talking about who do we think we're going to match

1157
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 16: up with. We're gonna get Kentucky, We're gonna get Marquette

1158
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 16: and Dwyane Wade, We're gonna get Duke, you know whomever.

1159
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 16: As far as our first round match, it was Kentucky,

1160
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 16: by the way, Marcus Estel and Keith Bogan's. But about

1161
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 16: every ten minutes we just start laughing because I'm like,

1162
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 16: can you believe we're having this conversation? And it's kind

1163
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 16: of the same thing about IU football. About every five

1164
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 16: or ten minutes, you just kind of think, is this

1165
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 16: really happening? And the answer is most definitely. It certainly is.

1166
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 3: Hey, before I let you go, Greg, do you have

1167
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 3: any more James before we get going?

1168
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 15: No, I guess I would pivot a little bit to

1169
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 15: the Colts. I know it's not the big picture topic

1170
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 15: and certainly not today, but right we do have Riley

1171
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 15: Leonard starting in the regular season finale. They're going into

1172
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 15: a offseason with which will be their fifth without a

1173
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 15: playoff birth in a row. How do you feel about

1174
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 15: just the balance or the me back up the how

1175
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 15: unique of a situation that Carli Ursa Gordon will find

1176
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 15: herself in in a few days, Because on one hand

1177
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 15: I could see a bunch of changes being made. On

1178
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,439
Speaker 15: the other hand, I could see everything staying the same

1179
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 15: and see valid reasons for both. But how I guess

1180
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 15: maybe excited isn't the right word, But you know, how

1181
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 15: interested are you to see how she carries this out?

1182
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,959
Speaker 16: Very intrigued maybe is the word. Yes, that's the worst,

1183
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 16: just because you know, obviously she to some degree has

1184
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 16: inherited this situation that is uncommon where the team has

1185
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 16: been as average, has been competitive, but not overly successful

1186
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 16: because typically general manager runs don't last that long when

1187
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 16: you have been hovering around five hundred as this team had,

1188
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 16: you know, and Chris's now nine year tenure, there's only

1189
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 16: two years that they been bad and one was his

1190
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 16: first year, you don't put that on him, And the

1191
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 16: other one was twenty twenty two when the quarterback carrahself

1192
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 16: finally just kind of you know, careemed off the rails

1193
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 16: with Matt Ryan. Other than that this team has been

1194
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 16: in playoff contention or a playoff team. And if you

1195
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 16: look at the roster, I'm preparing to duck as I

1196
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 16: say this, I don't think they're that far away. There's

1197
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 16: you know, I look offensively and go, hey, I kind

1198
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 16: of have an idea who the eleven starters are next year,

1199
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 16: and they're on this roster. Defense. And frankly, whomever is drafting,

1200
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 16: and I probably lean towards it being Chris in the spring,

1201
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 16: whatever is drafting, it's real simple, Hey, draft the best

1202
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 16: defensive player available pretty much in each round because you

1203
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 16: kind of know what you have on the offensive side

1204
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 16: of the football. And so the three words that I

1205
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 16: keep coming back to James and Jeff, they're not very long.

1206
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 16: I don't know. I don't have a read on what

1207
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 16: Carly is going to do. I'm not sure how she

1208
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 16: is going to handle this. Based on what happened this year.

1209
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 16: You could easily say bring everybody back, but that's ignoring

1210
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 16: the previous eight years when it comes to Chris. And

1211
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 16: so we're gonna find out come Monday morning. And again,

1212
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 16: if you're gonna make a move, you need to be

1213
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 16: announcing that Sunday night or Monday, because if nothing, it's

1214
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 16: everybody go to the same page and let's go. But

1215
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 16: the phrase I keep coming back to is I don't know.

1216
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 16: I don't have a handle as to how this situation

1217
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 16: is gonna play out.

1218
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 3: How competitive do you think they'll be against the Texans

1219
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

1220
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 16: I think they'll be competitive, because again, it's kind of

1221
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 16: what they have been. They have not been in this

1222
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 16: you know, it's only they've just been getting thumped. The

1223
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 16: closest thing to it was the Niners, and even they

1224
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 16: got beat by three touchdowns. Frankly, they had the ball

1225
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 16: down two scores and we're driving, you know, late in

1226
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 16: that game. So I think they'll be competitive. And it

1227
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 16: wasn't like Riley Leonard appeared crazy lost when he did

1228
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 16: get to play against Jacksonville, h you know, in the

1229
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 16: back half of the December seventh game. So I do

1230
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 16: think they'll be competitive. Obviously, Houston has, you know, much

1231
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 16: more to play for from a seeding standpoint, Indiana has

1232
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 16: versus the Colts have nothing to play for at this point.

1233
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 16: But I don't think there's gonna be kind of a

1234
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 16: sense of being relaxed for this football team, and and

1235
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 16: that usually kind of tends to help you. So I

1236
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 16: don't think they're going to get housed, but you probably

1237
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 16: got a lean towards the Texans winning this game for sure.

1238
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 3: Always good to talk to you, buddy. Enjoy a day

1239
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 3: or two before the Colts game, and we'll listen for

1240
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 3: you again in the post game on Sunday afternoon.

1241
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 16: Thanks fell as. Happy New Year, you too, the.

1242
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 3: One the only Greg rag Strude joining us on the

1243
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 3: Payless Liquors Hotline. You know, it's very interesting when we

1244
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: talk about Carly Ursay Gordon and what she has in

1245
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: front of her now, regardless of what happens on Sunday,

1246
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 3: I go back to something I can only imagine a

1247
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 3: conversation that had to happen right before they picked up

1248
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers. In my mind, this conversation goes Chris Ballard

1249
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: calls her or goes to her office or whatever it

1250
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 3: is they do to communicate, and he says, hey, can

1251
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 3: I throw an absolutely crazy idea past you? And She's

1252
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 3: like sure, I love crazy ideas, and Chris Ballard says,

1253
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 3: what if we bring in Philip Rivers for a look.

1254
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 3: He spends all week on the phone with Shane Stike

1255
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 3: and talking about the offense that he's running in his

1256
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 3: high school program, and the two of them talk about

1257
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 3: what the Colts did right and why it worked and

1258
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 3: why it didn't. And Philip has insight and even helps

1259
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 3: stike it out a little bit with an observation here

1260
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 3: or there. He still says he's in decent shape. What

1261
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 3: if we bring him in and give him a quick

1262
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 3: run at quarterback as we try to make the playoffs

1263
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 3: here and then Carly Gordon says, you know what, it's crazy,

1264
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 3: but I kind of liked that idea. Let's do it

1265
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 3: because you know there had to be some buy on

1266
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 3: buy in there, right, She had not had to cross

1267
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 3: her desk. Yeah, to break it down, Mark, but real

1268
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 3: quickly where I'm going with this? So it is what

1269
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 3: it is feel good moments. He had the one game

1270
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: where he throws for two hundred and seventy seven yards,

1271
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 3: but truly he didn't get you over the hump oher.

1272
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 3: And three does she look at that collaboration if you

1273
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 3: will where she says, yeah, I'll sign off on Philip

1274
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 3: Rivers coming here and say to herself, well, there's Chris

1275
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 3: again looking always looking for a new and creative way

1276
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 3: to get something done, and maybe that's what I want

1277
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 3: moving forward with a guy that I know and trust

1278
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 3: as opposed to blowing it up and starting all over.

1279
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 14: Is see where I'm heading With all that I do.

1280
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 15: I would just say that, for what I understand, it

1281
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 15: was more so Shane Stikeen doing the bidding for Philip Rivers,

1282
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 15: and obviously then it goes to the GM and then

1283
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 15: it goes to the owner. So I would just put

1284
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 15: it like this, when you get to your third string

1285
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 15: quarterback in the NFL, I don't know if you necessarily

1286
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 15: should be judged by the results of that, because although

1287
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 15: some people and I was in that camp, thought that

1288
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 15: Riley Lennards should have just played instead of getting Philip

1289
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 15: Rivers come out of retirement, but at that point, I

1290
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 15: don't think that it would have gone much better for

1291
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 15: Riley at all, quite frankly, considering that would have been

1292
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 15: his first real extended stint in the NFL. But to me,

1293
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 15: to go back to your point, Jeff, I think if

1294
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 15: you're looking at decisions that were made that were co

1295
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 15: signed by Carli urs Gordon alongside Chris Ballard, it's probably

1296
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 15: the sauce trade for me because in your first year

1297
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 15: as the principal owner and in Chris Ballard's ninth year,

1298
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 15: both of you thought after seven eight games, nine games

1299
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 15: with Daniel Jones that he was your future. And I'm

1300
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 15: not saying he wasn't playing well up to that point,

1301
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 15: but we also know was injury history, and we also

1302
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 15: know that there was still a lot of time left

1303
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 15: in the season to see kind of how things played out.

1304
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 15: The trade deadline is one thing you had to make

1305
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 15: a move by then if you wanted to kind of

1306
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 15: bolster your championship window. And at the time I thought

1307
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 15: it was an aggressive, fine move, but now looking back

1308
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 15: at it, I think you have to look at yourself

1309
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 15: and look at your leadership and say, boy, did we

1310
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 15: mortgage too much too early? And maybe did we did?

1311
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 15: We were we too aggressive too early on? So it's

1312
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 15: an interesting competition to have and I do think which

1313
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 15: every way you slice it, no one's gonna feel good

1314
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 15: coming out of it, but you probably have to do

1315
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 15: something if you want to change what's happened in years past.

1316
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 15: Because in my opinion, I get that Rakers saying that

1317
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 15: they're close, but how many times we said that in

1318
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 15: the last five.

1319
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Years they're close?

1320
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 15: But they're not. Yeah, and that's the thing. I mean

1321
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 15: close you would have made the playoffs by now, Yeah,

1322
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 15: I'm not It's been a half decade.

1323
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 3: It's not like they're coming back with Josh Allen or

1324
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson or even Brock Purdy. You have a guy

1325
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 3: with an injury history that has not exactly lit the

1326
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 3: world on fire for most of his career when he

1327
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 3: has been healthy.

1328
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 15: Right, So it's a tough situation to be in. And honestly,

1329
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,959
Speaker 15: if looking at decisions that you should have made, maybe

1330
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 15: a couple of years ago, you should have gave Kurtzygnetti

1331
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 15: a call so maybe he can come save the Colts.

1332
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 3: There are thirty thirty two NFL teams in about one

1333
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 3: hundred college football teams now, going darn it, we could

1334
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 3: have had that out.

1335
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 15: I'm just saying, man Hinsi's twenty twenty for sure.

1336
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 3: But I will say this when it comes to carly

1337
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 3: Ersa Gordon. I love the fact that I think she

1338
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 3: was making a statement when they made when she signed

1339
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 3: off on the trade for Sauce Gardner and given away

1340
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 3: first round picks in each of the next two years.

1341
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 3: She was telling her players, her coaching staff, her general manager,

1342
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 3: that if you get up close, I will give you

1343
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 3: everything you say you need to go win a championship.

1344
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 3: I believe that's the statement she was making to Shane

1345
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 3: Steike and and Chris Ballard and everybody on that team

1346
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 3: by saying, Hey, look, if you really think that we

1347
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 3: are that close and we can go all in, I am,

1348
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 3: as her father famously said, all chips in. I think

1349
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 3: she was demonstrating that, don't you.

1350
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 16: I do.

1351
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 15: But now those chips have crumbled, So you got to

1352
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 15: figure out what's next.

1353
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 3: All right, Caleb, let's check it down and move this

1354
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 3: thing along. What do you think the lead story should.

1355
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 14: Be today, James?

1356
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 15: Not her Dame basketball.

1357
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 14: No, we'll get to that.

1358
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 3: Indiana, the number one overall seed in the College Football Playoff,

1359
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 3: defeated Alabama thirty eight to three in a quarterfinal game

1360
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 3: of the College Football Playoff yesterday.

1361
01:05:59,240 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 14: It was at the road.

1362
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 3: It was all Indiana all day long. Once they took

1363
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 3: that initial three point lead, and then Alabama turned the

1364
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 3: ball over on downs right after that, it was all

1365
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 3: Indiana all day long.

1366
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 14: Thirty eight to three.

1367
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 3: They held the Crimson tie to twenty three yards rushing

1368
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 3: at one hundred and ninety three total yards and they

1369
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 3: spread the wealth. Fernando Mendoza had more touchdown passes than

1370
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 3: in completions. He was fourteen of sixteen for one hundred

1371
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 3: and ninety two yards. They didn't need to throw more

1372
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 3: than that. He had three touchdowns because Caylon Black ran

1373
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 3: for ninety nine yards. They ran as a group for

1374
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty yards plus. Omar Cooper had a

1375
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 3: touchdown pass. Charlie Becker had a touchdown reception. I should

1376
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 3: say Elijah Sharratt also had a touchdown reception. All five

1377
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 3: of their big skill position players scored a touchdown in

1378
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 3: that game yesterday. Everybody got to play. There was an interception,

1379
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 3: there was a forced fumble that knocked the quarterback out

1380
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 3: of the game for Alabama. It was domination physic up

1381
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 3: and down the field all day long for Indiana over

1382
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 3: Alabama all day long.

1383
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 15: It is a new world. I use the standard. Everyone

1384
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 15: else trying to catch up.

1385
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 14: I loved it.

1386
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 3: Thirty eight three was the final score. Also yesterday, Oregon

1387
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 3: beat Texas Tech twenty three to nothing. That will be

1388
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 3: the next opponent for Indiana. It'll be on Friday night

1389
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 3: from the Sugar Bowl in Atlanta. Seven thirty PM on ESPN.

1390
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 3: The Ducks and the Indiana Hoosiers the rematch right now.

1391
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 3: Oddsmakers say the Hoosiers are three and a half point favorites.

1392
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 3: Three and a half point favorites to a team that

1393
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 3: just beat Alabama by thirty five, that beat Oregon on

1394
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 3: the road in their place by ten earlier in the season.

1395
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 3: I always get nervous playing a team for the second time.

1396
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,439
Speaker 3: I get that, But I like three and a half

1397
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 3: points right there, buddy, Oh.

1398
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 15: Absolutely, I mean they beat them before. Like you said,

1399
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 15: it's hard to be a good team twice in the

1400
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 15: same season. But that doesn't mean I pick against the

1401
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 15: team that actually won. It ain't that sweet?

1402
01:07:59,600 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1403
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 3: Also, Ole Miss thirty nine thirty four comeback went over

1404
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 3: Georgia yesterday to knock the Bulldogs out of the college

1405
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 3: football playoff. They will play Thursday night against the Miami Hurricanes.

1406
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Hurricanes got a big win on Friday night. Quick question,

1407
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 3: nothing to do with anything, but Michael Irvin was he

1408
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 3: just acting to full after that football game? Speaking of

1409
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 3: BTA James hev ever every game you see that with

1410
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 3: a Gatorade thing on there and everything else, Like yeah,

1411
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 3: But like Michael, he's entertaining, But was that a little

1412
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 3: over the top?

1413
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 7: And all?

1414
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 15: Seriously is Jeff he has done that all year? I know,

1415
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 15: but it's every single game.

1416
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 3: It feels like it's at some point it feels like

1417
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 3: it's more about me, Michael Irvan than it is.

1418
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 15: Oh, are you surprised, I'd say, does say Michael Irvin

1419
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 15: that we remember from the Cowboys? I am not his

1420
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 15: brand assessment at all.

1421
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 3: He is on brand. I'll get to that. So it

1422
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 3: will be Miami taking on Old Miss and that'll be

1423
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 3: on Thursday night at the Fiesta Bowl, and then Friday

1424
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 3: night Oregon taking on Indiana at the Sugar Bowl. Later

01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 3: hosting the San Antonio Spurs, trying to snap a ten

1427
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 3: game losing streak. No victor Wimbin Yama. He will be

1428
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,560
Speaker 3: out tonight with a left knee soreness, is what the

1429
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 3: Spurs are saying right now. Don't think that it's going

1430
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 3: to be a long term thing, they said, but they

1431
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 3: wanted to give him a break.

1432
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 15: That's good. You know, you want to see the best

1433
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 15: players any sport be out there so well, wishes to win,

1434
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 15: be getting healthy and perhaps Pacer is getting a little

1435
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 15: healthy spirited. Why is they get to win?

1436
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 3: Tomorrow college basketball, Butler will be at home hosting Villanova

1437

1438
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 3: can watch it on TNT. Or if you go to

1439
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 3: the game and just they're outrunning errands, you can listen

1440
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 3: to it live right here at ninety three five and

1441
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 3: one oh seven five the Fam with Mark Minner and Nick.

1442
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 3: That'll be a lot of fun perdue. Tomorrow night we'll

1444
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 3: game beginning at eight pm. And just because he's not here,

1445
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 3: I will mention that Notre Dame plays cal tonight at

1446
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 3: eleven pm. You can watch that one on ESPN. T So,

1447
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 3: Kevin Bowen, don't say I never gave any love to

1448
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. When Kevin returns, I will return to skipping

1449
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 3: over them fair fair enough, all right, only because he

1450
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 3: catches it on the other side. NFL, we talked about

1451
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 3: the Colts with Greg rag Straw moment ago. They'll play

1452
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 3: at the Texans to conclude the twenty twenty five football season.

1453
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 3: A team that was won seven and one trying to

1454
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 3: not lose for the seventh time in a row and

1455
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 3: trying to at least squeak out the year with a

1456
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 3: winning record. Can you imagine starting seven to one and

1457
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 3: finishing the year eight and nine, James, that's what we're

1458
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 3: up against right now.

1459
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 15: Who cares, man? I mean, I hear you, Jeff, But boy,

1460
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 15: trying to do the anxiety actually the locker roomove. I

1461
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 15: mean a lot to have a winning season. I'm thinking, brother,

1462
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 15: this is another lost season.

1463
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 3: All right, and we all wait and wonder what will

1464
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 3: Carly Orsay Gordon be thinking during that game and after

1465
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 3: the game. I can't imagine anything really happens during the

1466
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 3: game that would alter whatever decision she's going to make.

1467
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 3: My guess is she kind of already knows what she

1468
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 3: wants to do.

1469
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1470
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 3: I can't read one. Yeah, I can't read her, but

1471
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 3: I think that's a strength of hers. I don't want

1472
01:10:58,600 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 3: people to be able to read the owner.

1473
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, well that's what I'm saying, Like I roberbly don't

1474
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 15: know what she can do because there's no precedent that

1475
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 15: I can lean on saying she did X y Z

1476
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 15: in the past. This is a whole new world for

1477
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 15: the Colts.

1478
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,879
Speaker 3: Speaking of weird new world is in the college football.

1479
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 3: I'll point this out again. I did in the last hour,

1480
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 3: but James want to get your reaction again and other

1481
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 3: people as well. Lane Kiffin earned five hundred thousand dollars

1482
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 3: for Missus Ole Missus win in that playoff game the

1483
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 3: other night as part of his termination agreement and his

1484
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 3: deal to right off into the sunset to LSU. He

1485
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 3: gets any postseason bonuses that will be earned by the team.

1486
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 15: The rich get Richard. You think he's actually cheering for

1487
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 15: Ole miss or I think he's trying to get.

1488
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 4: His coaches to Ole miss that or to LSU that

1489
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 4: are still on the Ole miss step. I can't tell

1490
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 4: if he wants them to win or I don't know.

1491
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 3: You think he'd want good things for all the kids

1492
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 3: that he recruited and coached and spent time.

1493
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 15: I want them to lose it and come on over

1494
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 15: to LSU, But I don't know.

1495
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 3: Bring your Nawtional championship over to my place is what

1496
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 3: he's probably open. But anyway, that's what's happening in the

01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 3: down there. Today Sports Radio, how much is it?

1531
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 14: How much of it is just.

1532
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 3: Alabama melting down and we got to do something different?

1533
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 3: And I don't know if this is the right coach

1534
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 3: and d or how much of it is. Man, I

1535
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 3: didn't know Indiana.

1536
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 16: Was that good.

1537
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 14: You think anybody's gonna call up Paul Fine.

1538
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. Man, I didn't know Indiana was that

1539
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think it's just take calls

1540
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 3: all day and just play that that that bite of

1541
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 3: Don Fisher gone and Indiana scores again. Yeah, that's what

1542
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 3: I'm about.

1543
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 15: We get some people to call us seventy. If you're

1544
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 15: feeling good about the IU Hoosiers, you want to share

1545
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 15: your experience watching this run, please call us and give

1546
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 15: us some of your reaction.

1547
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 3: Gritty by the way, pointing out it's the Peach Bowl.

1548
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 3: They'll be playing it on Friday. Last night was the

1549
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 3: Sugar Bowl, but the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Sugar Bowl

1550
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 3: of course in New Orleans. And I think I got

1551
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 3: ahead of myself, but yeah, Peach Bowl.

1552
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 15: Just for clearly, I'm thinking about his national champions.

1553
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 14: Could they could play that anywhere?

1554
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 16: They could?

1555
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 15: You know, you know, see Neetty wouldn't care. No, he'd

1556
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 15: be Game four it. I will say this though.

1557
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 3: So did they call the Memorial West? Somebody in the

1558
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 3: post game called it Memorial West. Yeah, I forget who

1559
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 3: that was. I think it was the offensive lineman Cogan. Maybe, yeah,

1560
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 3: it was Coogan.

1561
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 16: It was.

1562
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 15: To that point seeing the fans who just didn't want

1563
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 15: to leave, that was really cool because I was thinking, boy,

1564
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 15: if you ever get an experienced so see something like

1565
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 15: that happen live in front of your face, I do

1566
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 15: feel like security would have to come to me at

1567
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 15: some point and say, all right, it's time for you

1568
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 15: to get up.

1569
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,759
Speaker 4: I thought too, that's a great point, James, because obviously

1570
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 4: cloudy all day yep, and then towards the end of

1571
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 4: the game is almost poetic how the sun comes out

1572
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 4: and then you get the sunset at the Rose Bawl.

1573
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

1574
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 14: It's perfect.

1575
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 3: That's what makes it such a great setting. Tube. Then

1576
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 3: my wife even said that, oh, look, in the fourth

1577
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 3: quarter of the sun came out and all of a

1578
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 3: sudden you could see it, just the sunshine bathing the

1579
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 3: You know, of course everybody was wearing red. But it

1580
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 3: sure felt like a seventy thirty split in favor of

1581
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 3: Indiana yesterday, didn't it. Just listening to the grass, yeah,

1582
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 3: for sure, if not more, might have been more than

1583
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 3: seventy there For a couple of reasons. First of all,

1584
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 3: what a big deal it is for Indiana right now

1585
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 3: doing that. And I'm sure all the Alabama fans are like, yeah,

1586
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 3: we're saving our money up for the National Championship Game.

1587
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 15: Do you think they were that confident they're Alabama? I

1588
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 15: get that, but boy, this year's Alabama? Do you like, Well,

1589
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 15: you're right, they're Alabama. But I just feel like they

1590
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 15: had to have known, at least the ones that are

1591
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 15: somewhat reasonable, cause all of them can't be crazy. They

1592
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 15: have to know this team. This year's team was flawed.

1593
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 4: If you watch college football outside of the SEC, which

1594
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 4: again I'm not sure if Alabama fans do I don't know,

1595
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 4: but yeah, I mean, there's no way you can't come

1596
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 4: to the conclusion that man in Indiana's really good.

1597
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 3: And so I don't know.

1598
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 4: I would like to think that, James, but football fans

1599
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 4: can be regional and tribal.

1600
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 15: But going into it, I'm like, at least my I

1601
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 15: would think objective thinking about this game was Alabama has

1602
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 15: to play perfect, they have to get some brace to

1603
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 15: go their way, and that's how they'll win, and it'll

1604
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 15: be some ridiculous score where you know, it's thirty twenty nine,

1605
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 15: it's somebody missed a field goal or something like that.

1606
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 15: Versus I thought if I you were to win the game,

1607
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 15: it would be because they're just a better team all around.

1608
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 15: And granted I didn't think it was going to be

1609
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,560
Speaker 15: a beat down to that degree. I actually put it

1610
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 15: to be a very close game because I thought the bye.

1611
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 14: I think twenty seven to seventeen, didn't I Cay, does

1612
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 14: that sound right?

1613
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 15: I picked?

1614
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 14: I think you did.

1615
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 15: I think I picked thirty to twenty seven twenty hindsight,

1616
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 15: it's crazy.

1617
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 3: Twenty four seventeen was mine. So I'm right there because I.

1618
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,759
Speaker 15: Thought the buye would catch up to him to a degree,

1619
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 15: and I should never doubt cursing Netty, But I thought

1620
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:16,799
Speaker 15: that would be a factor because all the other teams

1621
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 15: just haven't responded well to having that long of a break.

1622
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 15: But then again, I you is just not all the

1623
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 15: other teams are the best team in the country.

1624
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:23,560
Speaker 16: No.

1625
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 3: I saw also check it out some social media last night.

1626
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,640
Speaker 3: I saw Eddie White just said anybody check it on

1627
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 3: fine Bomb that one I liked. And then somebody, you

1628
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 3: know when when people put out those maps of the

1629
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 3: United States and they'll put a team that dominates this

1630
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 3: region and they'll color in the states for that, somebody

1631
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 3: posted everybody in college football who's not an Alabama fan

1632
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 3: right now to just had IU and the whole country

1633
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 3: was red. Everybody was rooting for that game yesterday, which

1634
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 3: was cool, and I thought that was fun. We would

1635
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 3: be remissed, though, and we can't let him off the

1636
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 3: hook entirely because we got just a minute or two here,

1637
01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 3: and this is the appropriate place to do it. James,

1638
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 3: we do need to check it on Caleb a little bit.

1639
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 3: Do you need to check it.

1640
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 14: I'm not gonna let you. You thought you were gonna

1641
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 14: get you thought you were gonna get away with this

1642
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 14: what an entire three hours.

1643
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 3: Mister Ohio State over there on the other side of

1644
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 3: the glass, explain yourself.

1645
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 4: Oh look, man, I I did mention on Wednesday, to

1646
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,839
Speaker 4: be fair, that I was worried about the Miami offense

1647
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 4: or defensive line, and that proved to be a big, big,

1648
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 4: big problem, especially in that first half.

1649
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 3: And look, man, like, I think.

1650
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 4: Ohio State was not as good as we thought, and

1651
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 4: that that certainly proved itself for Miami better than we thought.

1652
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 4: I think that could be true, but I think you,

1653
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 4: I mean, just we'll relate this back to Indiana for

1654
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 4: a second, because at the end of the day, if

1655
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 4: you can get pressure rushing three guys or four guys, uh,

1656
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 4: the other teams had a severe disadvantage. And Miami with

1657
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 4: Mesador and Ruby Bain, like, those guys are freaking monsters,

1658
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:02,520
Speaker 4: gonna be top draft picks, and they were rushing three consistently.

1659
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 4: In getting to Julian saying, so, yeah, disappointing, but you know,

1660
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 4: Ohio State at the end of the day couldn't run

1661
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 4: the ball and couldn't do the things necessary to win,

1662
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 4: so they deserve to lose.

1663
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 15: You're fine, I mean, you don't have to eat as

1664
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 15: much crow as I did. Brother, I talked so much

1665
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 15: traffic for the Illinois I you game a.

1666
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 14: Long time ago.

1667
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 15: They know I did it for I believe, and so

1668
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 15: I was, I was talking, I'm gonna beat the brakes

1669
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 15: off of I'm gonna do all this, do all that,

1670
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 15: and yeah, that was horrendously bad. So I appreciate you.

1671
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 15: Thank You've been a good sport.

1672
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 3: A couple of things I noticed over the weekend from

1673
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 3: college game day, Nick Saban on there, he's a guy

1674
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 3: that said all along that Miami as he looks at

1675
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 3: all these teams, he said, Miami is a team I

1676
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 3: don't want to play. They're getting it together at just

1677
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 3: the right time, and they have talent all over the place.

1678
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 3: I also saw that Nick Saban when it was came

1679
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 3: came down to it on game day, selected Alabama to

1680
01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 3: beat Indiana. But then I thought to myself, is he

1681
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,640
Speaker 3: legally required he's got to. He can't. He can't go

1682
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 3: home with Miss Terry if he doesn't pick Alabama. Right,

1683
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 3: And he's you said it earlier, Jeff.

1684
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 4: He plays golf with his Bama buddies, Like I mean,

1685
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:13,799
Speaker 4: he's he's gotta pick Bama.

1686
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 3: So I'm not even so much worried about it. Like,

1687
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 3: we can't be mad at Nick for picking Bama though, right,

1688
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 3: that's the one guy we can't be mad at.

1689
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 16: Nah.

1690
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 15: But I honestly was thinking, to your heart of hearts,

1691
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 15: if you're not coaching and they have no shot, just.

1692
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 4: Wait till like Signetti retires in about twenty years and

1693
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 4: he's on a game day set or something, he's gonna

1694
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 4: have to pick Indiana every time they ask him.

1695
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that.

1696
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 15: But by that point, they'll have multiple national championships and

1697
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 15: they will have earned it.

1698
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 3: Isn't a part of him, though, Nick Saban. There's got

1699
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 3: to be a huge part of him that's really happy

1700
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:45,719
Speaker 3: for and rooting for Kurt Signetti.

1701
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,599
Speaker 15: Right, Yeah, for sure his a couple of years ago.

1702
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 15: But I don't know. I thought the loyalty probably lies

1703
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 15: to the program that you were at the longest. But well,

1704
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 15: I would think so.

1705
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 3: I will say this, though the Nick Saban coaching tree,

1706
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 3: this college Football Playoff this year, it's littered with guys

1707
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 3: from the Nick Saban coaching.

1708
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 15: It is true. I always think to some of the

1709
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 15: stuff is photoshops.

1710
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 3: But it's not I mean, whether it's whether it's landing,

1711
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 3: whether it's crystal ball. Now, signetty, I think there were

1712
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 3: one or two other guys that were straight out of

1713
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 3: I guess you could call Lane Kiffin even though the

1714
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 3: effect that he's had on ole of this, even though

1715
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 3: he's gone, is still right around there.

1716
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 15: How about this from Adam Kaye in the text line,

1717
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 15: my brother in law is an IU graduate who went

1718
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 15: to grad school at Georgia. There is zero chance anyone

1719
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,560
Speaker 15: who's calling in too those radio shows is going to

1720
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 15: give you credit for being good.

1721
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 16: Zero.

1722
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 15: That is simply not how they function. Adam kay thank

1723
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 15: you for the insight. I'm just trying to be reasonable,

1724
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,759
Speaker 15: but as you all keep reminding me of, college football

1725
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 15: is not reasonable, especially in the Southeastern contract.

1726
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 3: That's why we have sports radio, because none of us

1727
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 3: is reasonable. I get mad if I ever have comments

1728
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 3: with with Kevin and James. I'm like, come on, guys,

1729
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 3: let's be a little more unreasonable on the radio. Sometimes

1730
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 3: it's fun to be unreasonable. Here's my unreasonable happiness this

1731
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 3: week though for me personally, the fact that in one

1732
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 3: college football weekend, Ohio State lost, Georgia lost, and Indiana

1733
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 3: beat the breaks off Alabama. I could not the only

1734
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 3: thing that could happen this weekend that would go better,

1735
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Like I fully now expect the Pacers to beat the

1736
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 3: Spurs tonight and then I expect the Colts to come

1737
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 3: up with an upset victory. If you give me, if

1738
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 3: you give me a Pacers wind tonight and a Colts

1739
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 3: went on Sunday, that might be the most perfect weekend

1740
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 3: of all weekends right there. Ohio State losing Georgia, losing

1741
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 3: Indiana beating the breaks off of Alabama, Pacers beating the Spurs,

1742
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,799
Speaker 3: and the Colts spoiling the Texans season.

1743
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 14: That would be the perfect weekend, all.

1744
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:55,120
Speaker 15: Right, and I want it now. We got some listeners

1745
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 15: on the line. We'll get to the on the other side,

1746
01:22:57,720 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 15: and thanks for listening to the Fan Warning Show here

1747
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 15: on three five. One of them by the Fan.

1748
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 3: I think one of my favorite things about just scrolling

1749
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 3: through social media while the game was ongoing yesterday, because

1750
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 3: it's fun to see people's reactions when something unique is

1751
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 3: happening right before the game. The number of people that

1752
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 3: we're talking about Indiana as if they were just this

1753
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 3: big old bubble that was about to burst was crazy

1754
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 3: to me.

1755
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 14: And I picked just one out of a hat.

1756
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 3: A guy named Paul Harrison who says he's got like

1757
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 3: five hundred and ninety two followers and says content creator

1758
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 3: for three sixty six sports, whatever that is.

1759
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 14: He writes.

1760
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 3: He can't wait, basically for Indiana. Here's what he said,

1761
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 3: Happy Indiana elimination day, exclamation point. They played nobody all

1762
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 3: season in or going to get exposed by a great

1763
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 3: SEC program in Alabama today? Did he watch Alabama play

1764
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 3: their last couple of games? Did that look like a

1765
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 3: great Nick Saban Alabama esque team?

1766
01:23:59,479 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 16: No?

1767
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 3: And Indiana has physically dominated every team they've played all

1768
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 3: season long, at one time or another during the game.

1769
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 3: They did it on the road at Penn State. They

1770
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 3: did it on the road at Oregon. They did it

1771
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten championship game against Ohio State. They

1772
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 3: did it against overmatched Big Ten teams all year long.

1773
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 3: I don't know why anybody thought that particular game yesterday

1774
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 3: was going to be any different. I think Oregon will

1775
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 3: actually give him a real football game. I understand why.

1776
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:26,600
Speaker 3: It's just a three and a half point spread that.

1777
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 15: Should be a big test. But let's head to the

1778
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:32,679
Speaker 15: payless lookers hotline and hear from one of our listeners,

1779
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 15: JJ from Fishers. Do we got them?

1780
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 3: Caleb, Yep, he's good to go, JJ, your turn, go

1781
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 3: for it.

1782
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 17: Hey, good morning, fella's happy new year coming in and

1783
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 17: it's a happy new year because of IU and what

1784
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 17: they're doing.

1785
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 16: Let me tell you something.

1786
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 17: I listened to you guys, and of course Saint Query

1787
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 17: and JAMV and I am et site love what y'all do.

1788
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 17: I'm a willa maker. I am an Indiana State of

1789
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 17: Indiana team lover that comes to whoever's in the tournament

1790
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 17: Inanna's real business. With Miami winning the way they won,

1791
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 17: what's that say about the whole thing with Notre Dame

1792
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 17: getting getting pushed out and everything. Do you think Notre

1793
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:16,680
Speaker 17: Dame would have won the same thing same way? Do

1794
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 17: you think they would have dominated? Do you think they

1795
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 17: would have been in this position right now if they

1796
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 17: were in the playoffs?

1797
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 15: Just wondering that.

1798
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 16: Appreciate you guys, keep up the good work, have great weekend.

1799
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 14: Thanks JJ. I'll tell you this right off the bat.

1800
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 3: I think Notre Dame would have taken care of either

1801
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 3: of the group of five teams. I think they had

1802
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,879
Speaker 3: beaten Texas Tech. I think they would have beaten Alabama.

1803
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 3: I think that they are better than at least half

1804
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 3: the field at the very least.

1805
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's interesting debate because a lot of the conferences

1806
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 15: came down to Notre Dame or Miami, and Miami obviously

1807
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 15: advances any college fotball playoff and did so in very

1808
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 15: impressive fashion over Ohio State. So I do see what

1809
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 15: JJ is saying, and thanks for the call in the

1810
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 15: shout out to our other programs as well, But ultimately,

1811
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 15: I have to think that there will be a world

1812
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 15: going forward where we have to make sure we get

1813
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 15: the best teams in. I'm not saying this is some

1814
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 15: you know, college football guru, but to your point, Jeff,

1815
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 15: I do think that the best twelve teams probably weren't

1816
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 15: in it. I get to the group of five teams

1817
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 15: earned it because of the automatic bid and being a

1818
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 15: certain ranking in the standings. But I do think after

1819
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 15: seeing a three loss Alabama team get in, there have

1820
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 15: to be conversations going forward about letting other three loss

1821
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 15: teams into the playoffs, because to me, that's probably what

1822
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 15: it came down to, in my opinion, more so than

1823
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 15: the Notre Dame or Miami debate. It's why we're letting

1824
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 15: a three loss team into it. So interesting dialogue, and

1825
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 15: we'll certainly have that dialogue next year. Before this year,

1826
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 15: this new year, we're focusing on you, baby, and shout

1827
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 15: out to JJ for being a fan of all Indiana

1828
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 15: teams when they get into the dance.

1829
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 4: That's rare team player, right, like conversepective preaches, right, right, exactly.

1830
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 3: Let's go talk to Andrew next to two, three, nine,

1831
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 3: ten seventy Andrew, your turn here on the Fan morning show.

1832
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 18: Hey, uh, so, I think I'm more concerned we get

1833
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 18: past Oregon about both Miami and Ole miss After watching

1834
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 18: Shambalis last night, he was unsackable.

1835
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 16: And Miami d line.

1836
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 15: I think they'll pressure Mendoza.

1837
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 18: The only thing I'm scared about with Oregon is that

1838
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 18: freshman corner of Finney will.

1839
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 16: Have to keep the ball away from him. Whish Kevin

1840
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 16: was on so I could give him crap about Notre Dame.

1841
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 14: Oh, he'll be here Monday. He'll be here Monday.

1842
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 18: If they would just not think they were better than

1843
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 18: everyone and join a conference, they wouldn't have any issues.

1844
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 3: This is true, and the committee made that very clear.

1845
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 3: The reason they got passed over. Is the committee was

1846
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:50,719
Speaker 3: saying join a conference.

1847
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 18: I grew up and Mitchell dealt with this crap in

1848
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 18: my whole life.

1849
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,840
Speaker 3: I hate dealing with the Notre Dame fans. It is

1850
01:27:59,479 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 3: a nausey.

1851
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 18: So that's my opinion on the Thanks guy.

1852
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 14: I appreciate the phone call. Thank you very much.

1853
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 15: Shout out to Andrew Man taking a shot at KB

1854
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 15: when he isn't here. That's that's how you do it.

1855
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 15: But at least, yeah, you kick a man while he's down, Okay,

1856
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 15: all that, you know, being a good sport. Nope, you

1857
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 15: kick him while they're down. And to his point about

1858
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 15: Notre Dame again, I do think it's always going to

1859
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,799
Speaker 15: be a debate with them about should they join a conference.

1860
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 15: They probably won't because they're such an iconic brand nationally

1861
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 15: and it's worked well for them, I would think over

1862
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 15: the years. But getting back to the point about IU, Yeah,

1863
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,720
Speaker 15: it does concern me a bit facing Oregon. I do

1864
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 15: think Oregon is a very good team and they have

1865
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 15: a chance to beat IU there, and I don't look

1866
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:42,640
Speaker 15: at this as a matchup where I'm like, you know,

1867
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:44,560
Speaker 15: I usually just gonna go on there and I have

1868
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 15: no worries at all. But to his other points about

1869
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 15: the other matchups, you could pass Oregon, man, Well, honestly,

1870
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 15: at this point of season, you probably get past anybody

1871
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 15: and you're feeling good about your chances. But yeah, I

1872
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 15: think Oregon is a real test as opposed to perhaps

1873
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 15: the other and my finals were looking at in the bracket.

1874
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,879
Speaker 3: You know, Oregon is looking their chops at a repeat,

1875
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 3: a chance to get back at Indiana. You know that

1876
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:07,560
Speaker 3: they can't wait yet do.

1877
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,240
Speaker 15: I think they're a fairly complete team when you look

1878
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 15: at what they do on both sides of the ball

1879
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 15: as well. I don't want to dismiss the fact that

1880
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 15: they shut out a team in the colleg football playoff

1881
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 15: that is very hard to do.

1882
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 14: One thing he mentioned too, he was.

1883
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 3: Talking about the quarterback at Old Miss, and yeah, he

1884
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 3: was it's tough to get a hold of him. But

1885
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 3: I was surprised at how often that defensive front for

1886
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 3: Old Miss was trapping Georgia in the backfield. There were

1887
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 3: a couple of times Georgia escaped, got a nice little

1888
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 3: pass play when Stockton got loose from somebody. There was

1889
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 3: another running back that there was a mistackle about three

1890
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:46,680
Speaker 3: yards behind the line of scrimmage, but Ole Miss was

1891
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:48,760
Speaker 3: in their backfield all day long.

1892
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 15: James, Yeah. I mean, there's not much more praise I

1893
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 15: can give to that program what they've done and the

1894
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 15: ride that they've taken us all on. So from respect,

1895
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 15: I have to feel pretty good about where we are

1896
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 15: in this new colleg football landscape, man. And the best

1897
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 15: part about our jobs is we get to just hear

1898
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 15: here and watch and talk about it.

1899
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 16: All right.

1900
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 3: We'll also be talking about the final game of the

1901
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 3: regular season, the final game of the year for the

1902
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts. They'll be playing the Texans on Sunday. The

1903
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,599
Speaker 3: play by play voice so the Colts Matt Taylor stops

01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 2: in Indiana history.

1910
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 5: First it was quinning a game like Morgan on the Road.

1911
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 5: Then it was beating Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship.

1912
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 5: Now it's winning the Rolls Gold. How would you describe

1913
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 5: the turnaround at what you've been able to build and.

1914
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 14: In a short period of time.

1915
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 11: Hell of the movie.

1916
01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,759

Speaker 3: Fernando looks left Flashi Donna Piel.

Speaker 16: Oh man, cloud nine fellas see that montage was that

1952
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 16: was something epic. I think it's the game itself. But yeah,

1953
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,479
Speaker 16: my dad and brother are out there, and they are

1954
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 16: you know, they're sending me texts and pictures the whole time.

1955
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:12,320
Speaker 16: It's just excruciating not being out there. Wasn't too much

1956
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,759
Speaker 16: going on back here with the final game of the season,

1957
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 16: but I can tell you they're already scheming and playing

1958
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 16: and trying to get themselves down to Atlanta, and heck,

1959
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 16: maybe I join them if we can figure it out.

1960
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 16: But yeah, I mean they said they were running into

1961
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 16: so many people out there that they knew that they recognized,

1962
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,720
Speaker 16: and so many you know, diehard IU football fans over

1963
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,559
Speaker 16: the years that you know, made that pilgrimage out there.

1964
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,320
Speaker 16: My dad cell phone died like three times. He had

1965
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 16: a charger just because he's getting, you know, so many

1966
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,640
Speaker 16: texts and he's trying to send so many pictures and

1967
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 16: stuff like that, just because of how unbelievable the whole

1968
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,799
Speaker 16: thing is. Let me just say it out loud. Indiana

1969
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 16: University is twenty five and two the last few years,

1970
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 16: and they've made the college football Playoff in both seasons

1971
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 16: and they won the freaking row and they won it

1972
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 16: by beating Ala Bama thirty eight to three. Like, just

1973
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 16: say those things out loud. You know, if you would

1974
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 16: have done that two years ago, would have been like

1975
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 16: all in jest, like haha, you know, I'm gonna go

1976
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 16: play you know, ea sports college football on a video

1977
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 16: game and see if I can get eye you to

1978
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 16: my dynasty league, you know, winning the Rose Bowl. Haha. Like, no,

1979
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 16: this is reality, fellas, you know what I mean. Like,

1980
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 16: this is not Biff Hannan's alternate universe in nineteen eighty

1981
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,839
Speaker 16: five when he steals a sports almanac. This is really happening.

1982
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 16: It's unbelievable.

1983
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 14: So let me ask you this Matt same thing.

1984
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 3: I asked Greg Gragstrow, who's grown up in Indiana his

1985
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 3: entire life, when it was twenty when that touchdown yesterday

1986
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:44,960
Speaker 3: goes from Mendoza to sarat and they're up twenty four

1987
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 3: to nothing, as a lifelong hoo's your fan? Like, what

1988
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 3: are you thinking in that moment?

1989
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 16: I'm just well, I've had many moments. I mean, that

1990
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 16: sequence right there just continues to solidify. I like everything

1991
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 16: I've thought about IU football since this change in the

1992
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 16: regime happened.

1993
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 3: Like, I'm not yet used to.

1994
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:11,600
Speaker 16: The domination. You know, They've won whatever it is, like

1995
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 16: four games this year by fifty points. I'm not used

1996
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 16: to that yet. Like I can't just sit back and

1997
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 16: expect them to kick the tail out of these unbelievably

1998
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:27,679
Speaker 16: tradition field programs like Ohio State and Alabama. Like I'm

1999
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 16: still used to James and Jeff I'm still used to

2000
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:33,719
Speaker 16: like throwing my remote in the middle of the street

2001
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:37,840
Speaker 16: after they have a false start penalty against Rutgers that

2002
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 16: drops their record down to five and seven and can't

2003
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 16: win a bowl, you know, can't get to a bowl

2004
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 16: game like that. That's the IU universe that I grew

2005
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 16: up in and so I'm always just kind of in

2006
01:35:48,080 --> 01:35:49,840
Speaker 16: the back of my head waiting for the other shoe

2007
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 16: to drop and waiting for them to beat themselves. But

2008
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 16: under Kurt Signetti, they don't do that, and they don't

2009
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 16: come close to doing that. Like I'm still not used

2010
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 16: to just precision execution and not beating yourself, not having

2011
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 16: any sort of complacency. I mean the guy, I mean,

2012
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 16: I know you guys know this, but I mean he

2013
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 16: he he talks openly about stalking out complacency. I mean

2014
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,720
Speaker 16: just the way he talks, the way he speaks. I mean,

2015
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 16: it's not just football. There's a lot of like life

2016
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,040
Speaker 16: lessons you can get out of just how to have

2017
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:24,720
Speaker 16: success and whatever field you're in, just by listening to

2018
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 16: Kurt Signetti. Not to sound like to you know, you know,

2019
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:29,800
Speaker 16: pie in the sky, but I mean, if if you're

2020
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 16: having trouble sort of like reaching goals and you want

2021
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:35,920
Speaker 16: to become a better version of yourself, uh, you know,

2022
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 16: not to sound too prophetic, but go listen to Kurt Signette,

2023
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 16: just talk about how he attacks daily life and trying

2024
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 16: to get better and and wanting to you know, put

2025
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 16: your best foot forward and and and and you know,

2026
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,080
Speaker 16: wanting to you know, just be a better, you know,

2027
01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 16: version of yourself, a better version of a team each

2028
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 16: and every day, because it's it's sort of true. You're

2029
01:36:56,160 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 16: either getting better you're getting worse. And there's a lot

2030
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 16: of life lessons. I'm watching this IU football team. Not

2031
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 16: to get too weird on you, but that's that's where

2032
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:04,560
Speaker 16: I'm at with it.

2033
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 15: I know we got to get to tay those tip is.

2034
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 15: But one thing I do want to play here, may say,

2035
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 15: is the question you asked Philip Rivers, who actually was

2036
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,559
Speaker 15: coached by Kercy Eddy back in the day at NC State,

2037
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 15: about what he will cherish as he ends one chapter

2038
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 15: and the Colts usher in and probably a new era

2039
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 15: here in a couple of days.

2040
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:23,599
Speaker 3: What are you going to be some one of your

2041
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 3: more fonder memories of the last month.

2042
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 16: Gally.

2043
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 20: You know, obviously the games, you know, exciting being out

2044
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 20: there in the in the in the action again, the

2045
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 20: practices really, I mean when Wednesday practice, that first Wednesday practice,

2046
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 20: I was like, dang, I forgot how awesome this was,

2047
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,679
Speaker 20: you know, just being out there practicing with the guys.

2048
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 20: The meetings, the press, the blitz to the blitz, meetings

2049
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 20: that all that comes it comes along with it, you know.

2050
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 20: And shoot, when I was a little kid, uh gally,

2051
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 20: I thought I was doue with all the emotions I think,

2052
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 20: and I think man for the most part.

2053
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 21: But when I was real, when I was real young,

2054
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 21: I used to ask my mom and dad to introduce me,

2055
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 21: you know what I mean, Like I'm coming out playing,

2056
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 21: you know, we're playing such and such. I had all

2057
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:06,680
Speaker 21: these you know, I was dressed up and whatever, and

2058
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:08,760
Speaker 21: so I've come running through the kitchen, high five and them.

2059
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 3: So so to have that memory last Sunday was was awesome,

2060
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 3: you know, getting you know, getting to come out one

2061
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:14,599
Speaker 3: last time.

2062
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 14: So there's a lot of.

2063
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 15: Them, but those are the first things that puffed my mind.

2064
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 15: That sentiment right there. Maye Mayte is the reason why

2065
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 15: I think, even though I know from my perspective all

2066
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 15: this game doesn't matter, I got to look at the

2067
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 15: big picture questions. So can tell me it's still kind

2068
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 15: of matters a little bit. And the Colts are obviously

2069
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 15: going to go out there and try to win.

2070
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, one hundred percent, you know. And one of the

2071
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:39,840
Speaker 16: reasons why I felt compelled to ask that question, I mean,

2072
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 16: you knew that, you know, Sunday he probably wasn't going

2073
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 16: to start, and he's not, and Sunday is probably going

2074
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 16: to be his last game in the NFL, which I

2075
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:50,080
Speaker 16: think it is. I think he's actually on the record

2076
01:38:50,160 --> 01:38:54,439
Speaker 16: saying that, and so one of the things I mean,

2077
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 16: I listened. I never played in the NFL. I never

2078
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 16: even came close to playing in the NFL, but I

2079
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:02,200
Speaker 16: didn't play. And I have this recurring dream. I don't

2080
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 16: know if this is gonna sound corny or not, and

2081
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,439
Speaker 16: probably probably so, but I have this still to this day.

2082
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 16: I have this recurring dream that I'm either in my

2083
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 16: high school locker room or I'm in my college locker

2084
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 16: room football locker room, getting ready to go play, and

2085
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 16: for some weird circumstance, the team needs me to come

2086
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:24,680
Speaker 16: out of retirement or you know, I have one one

2087
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:28,679
Speaker 16: game of eligibility left for some reason in my dream,

2088
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 16: and they need me to come start and you know,

2089
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:34,120
Speaker 16: save the day and you know, be part of the defense.

2090
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:38,599
Speaker 16: But I can't find my pads, right, I can't. I'm

2091
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 16: in the locker room, I'm all dressed, you know, I've

2092
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:42,759
Speaker 16: got my pants on, but I can't find my helmet.

2093
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 16: I can't find my shoulder pads, and I never get

2094
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 16: to go out to play because I can't find them.

2095
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 16: I have that dream probably I don't know, half a

2096
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:54,560
Speaker 16: dozen times a year, I swear to God. And that

2097
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 16: made me compel to ask Philip Rivers like you actually

2098
01:39:57,880 --> 01:39:59,599
Speaker 16: got to do that. You actually got to come out

2099
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 16: of vironment and play and put on the pads and

2100
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,679
Speaker 16: experience what it's like to be inside a locker room

2101
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 16: again and just all the camaraderie that comes with it.

2102
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 16: You know, I wasn't asking that question more from a

2103
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:15,640
Speaker 16: I was asking more from like a personal side of

2104
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 16: things rather than a football side of things. But you know,

2105
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,840
Speaker 16: I think he did get emotion there, talking emotional there,

2106
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 16: talking about you know, just being able to experience the

2107
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 16: brotherhood of a locker room and you know, being there

2108
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,560
Speaker 16: with some of your best friends and going through the

2109
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 16: grind together with some of your teammates and then running

2110
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 16: out on the field, you know, going from the tunnel

2111
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 16: to the field, you know, when you got sixty five

2112
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 16: thousand people, and you know, he actually said something later

2113
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 16: this week, you know that was actually his first time

2114
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,679
Speaker 16: being able to play in front of fans since twenty

2115
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 16: nineteen right, because I mean, he didn't play in front

2116
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 16: of fans at Lucas Oil Stadium at all in twenty twenty,

2117
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 16: but he didn't play in front of a packed house

2118
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 16: anywhere in twenty twenty. So it was just really cool

2119
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 16: for him to be able to exparing to that one

2120
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 16: final time and do it, you know, for a franchise

2121
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,719
Speaker 16: that it respects a guy that loves in Shane psyching

2122
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 16: and to be able to go, you know, live out

2123
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 16: those those childhood dreams of running in his kitchen high

2124
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 16: five and mom and dad, but doing it at a

2125
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:16,719
Speaker 16: bigger scale with the teammates. It was just a cool

2126
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 16: answer and kind of the you know, the background as

2127
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:20,639
Speaker 16: to why I asked in that question.

2128
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 3: Matt Taylor's the voice of the Indianapolis Colts, and every

2129
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,919
Speaker 3: week he gets just ready to go for the upcoming

2130
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 3: game with the few things that we have never even

2131
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 3: thought about, didn't see coming, and will be relevant to

2132
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:35,439
Speaker 3: everything that happens on Sunday. May they go for it?

2133
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 16: After this, all right, let's talk about the Tale of

2134
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:44,720
Speaker 16: Three Cities, the three cities in the AFC South and

2135
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 16: how those dynamics have changed the complexity of the last

2136
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 16: game of the season. So after Week ten, we all know,

2137
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 16: wee ten in Germany against the Falcons. Cults are riding high.

2138
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 16: They're eight and two at that point the Colts led

2139
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 16: to AFC South, but the Jaguars were five and four

2140
01:42:02,520 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 16: and the Texans were four and five. And raise your

2141
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 16: hand if you're thinking, all right, this is going to

2142
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 16: be the Colts on cruise control to an AFC style

2143
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:13,720
Speaker 16: championship for the first time since twenty fourteen. But since then,

2144
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 16: the Colts have lost six straight games. The Jaguars and

2145
01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 16: Texans have combined to win fifteen straight games. And we

2146
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 16: know the Colts unfortunately just the sixth team ever to

2147
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 16: miss the playoffs after a seven to one start, but

2148
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 16: a loss on Sunday would make even more history unfortunately.

2149
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 16: That's why I think it's important for them to go

2150
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 16: out and win. If the Colts lose to the Texans

2151
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 16: on Sunday, they become the first team in NFL history

2152
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 16: to win seven of their first eight games and then

2153
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 16: finish the season with a losing record. So again, that's

2154
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 16: why it matters a world of difference between eight.

2155
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: And nine and nine and eight.

2156
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 16: If you're a player, if you're a coach, you're right,

2157
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 16: despite the playoffs not being on the table. Heading in

2158
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:56,240
Speaker 16: the week eighteens, you gotta fight your tailoff. All right,

2159
01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 16: let's talk about Riley Leonard his first start. Knowing the

2160
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 16: important of quarterback development for Rightley Leonard potentially needing him

2161
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 16: early next season, You've got the uncertainty of the backup

2162
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 16: quarterback of the future. The Colts are gonna go with

2163
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 16: their rookie in week eighteen. Daniel Jones may not be well. First,

2164
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 16: he's got to re sign with the Colts, but even

2165
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,639
Speaker 16: then he may not be ready to go by week one.

2166
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 16: So Leonard entered the season as the Colts third quarterback

2167
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:26,439
Speaker 16: behind Jones and Richardson. His last start came against Ohio

2168
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 16: State last year in the College Football National Championship National

2169
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,560
Speaker 16: Championship Game. I should say, but he becomes just the

2170
01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 16: thirteenth Colts rookie quarterback to start in franchise history. He'll

2171
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 16: be the first since Anthony Richardson. Obviously, at twenty twenty three,

2172
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 16: Colts rookies are three to nine in their first career starts.

2173
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:49,280
Speaker 16: The last one to win his debut Chris Chandler all

2174
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 16: the way back in nineteen eighty eight and anecdotally, he's

2175
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 16: going to be just the sixth Notre Dame rookie to

2176
01:43:55,920 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 16: start an NFL game. The last Notre Dame rookie to

2177
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 16: win an NFL start at quarterback was Jimmy Clawson, who

2178
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 16: beat the Cardinals nineteen to twelve back in twenty ten

2179
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:11,679
Speaker 16: as a member of the Carolina Panthers. Also, how about

2180
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 16: this when it relates to Riley Leonard. He is exactly

2181
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:18,639
Speaker 16: twenty years and two hundred and seventy nine days younger

2182
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:22,760
Speaker 16: than the Philip Rivers. That is the largest age gap

2183
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 16: between a team starting quarterback in consecutive games since nineteen fifty.

2184
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 16: And again, his first start in the NFL is going

2185
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 16: to be against the NFL's number one scoring in total defense.

2186
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 16: Five previous quarterbacks made their first career start against the

2187
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 16: NFL's top scoring in total defense entering week four or

2188
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 16: later since the nineteen seventy merger, and those five quarterbacks

2189
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 16: unfortunately went zero to five and they led their teams

2190
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:54,360
Speaker 16: to only thirteen points per game. There were four passing

2191
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 16: touchdowns to twelve interceptions combined. All right, then the last

2192
01:44:59,120 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 16: one here, I want to talk about the Texans offense

2193
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 16: right the defense for Houston. They get a lot of love,

2194
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 16: and rightfully so. But let's talk about their timely offense.

2195
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 16: They're not going to blow you away with their overall

2196
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 16: offensive output, but their offense, they just make big plays

2197
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 16: when it matters. And that's why I use the word timely,

2198
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 16: because they're only averaging twenty one points per game, which

2199
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 16: is the fewest by a team with a winning record.

2200
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 16: This season, they've only got thirty one offensive touchdowns, that's

2201
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 16: the fewest by any team with at least eleven wins

2202
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 16: since the twenty fourteen season. And they've also scored touchdowns

2203
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 16: on just forty five percent of the red zone drives

2204
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 16: this year. That ranks thirtieth in the NFL. But their

2205
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:42,560
Speaker 16: defense is so good that it helps keep helps, it

2206
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:45,439
Speaker 16: helps keep the offense in games, and it gives them,

2207
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 16: you know, the ability to make those timely plays and

2208
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 16: give them more opportunities when the game is on the line.

2209
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 16: And just doing some digging, the Texans magic number is twenty.

2210
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 16: They've won fourteen straight games when they score twenty plus

2211
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:02,720
Speaker 16: points dating back to last year, including the playoffs, and

2212
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 16: this year they are ten and oh when they score

2213
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 16: at least twenty points, and they are the only team

2214
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:10,800
Speaker 16: in the NFL to not lose a game when their

2215
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 16: offense reaches at least twenty points. So that's all they need,

2216
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 16: right despite the up and down nature of the offense,

2217
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 16: that defense is that good that lets them just keep

2218
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 16: paying around and win close games. In fact, Houston is

2219
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:28,000
Speaker 16: six to oh in their last six one score games

2220
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:32,040
Speaker 16: after they started this season zero to five in close contests.

2221
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 3: Always great stuff, Matt Taylor, you have been a busy,

2222
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 3: busy man. Now, I hope you weren't digging all that

2223
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:41,120
Speaker 3: stuff up during the Indiana game. He'll show you were

2224
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 3: one hundred percent solely focused on that game, right, Well.

2225
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 16: This was, yeah, this was all stuff that was dug

2226
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 16: up earlier. But yeah, I mean it was like around

2227
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 16: eleven eleven thirty after I was coming down from that

2228
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 16: high from the IU game, where I kind of put

2229
01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:56,639
Speaker 16: it all together. So anything for you, guys.

2230
01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:58,320
Speaker 14: Hey, One other quick thing.

2231
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 3: I know you talked about the history of quarterbacks in

2232
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:03,639
Speaker 3: the position that Riley Leonard finds himself in on Sunday.

2233
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 14: What do you think he's capable.

2234
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:08,880
Speaker 3: Of doing on Sunday? What's your gut feeling on what

2235
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:09,800
Speaker 3: he's able to do?

2236
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 16: You know, I think he's going to be able to

2237
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 16: do a lot, a lot more than people think, to

2238
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:18,040
Speaker 16: be honest with you, because he's been that dedicated to, uh,

2239
01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:21,679
Speaker 16: you know, being part of this offense. You know, first

2240
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 16: guy in, last guy out, very much in the hip

2241
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,120
Speaker 16: pocket of of Daniel Jones or in this case in

2242
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 16: the last three weeks, Philip Rivers. And that's something I

2243
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,519
Speaker 16: asked Shane Stiken after that Jacksonville game about a month ago.

2244
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: I said, what what what?

2245
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 16: What are some of his limitations in terms of what

2246
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 16: you can call And Shane he said, not much. I mean,

2247
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,560
Speaker 16: there's everything that we can put on his plate. We

2248
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 16: have because he's pretty smart. He's got a high football IQ.

2249
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 16: I mean obviously you're playing, you know, going to school

2250
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:51,040
Speaker 16: at Duke and Notre Dame and been playing quarterback at

2251
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,960
Speaker 16: those institutions, You've got to be pretty adept. And so

2252
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:58,720
Speaker 16: you know, from an IQ standpoint and from a playbook standpoint,

2253
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 16: everything's there. I think obviously the limitations in his game

2254
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 16: right now physically he's got to find that you know, Sunday,

2255
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 16: you know, pinpoint accuracy that he's still striving for. And

2256
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 16: I think he would probably tell you that too. But

2257
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,639
Speaker 16: he's definitely gonna add some more mobility within the offensive

2258
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 16: the quarterback position, and perhaps, you know, at least on paper,

2259
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 16: that unlocks, you know, some more efficient runs out of

2260
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:24,839
Speaker 16: Jonathan Taylor, just because the Texans with those two defensive

2261
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 16: ends and Hunter and Anderson, they're going to have to

2262
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 16: at least respect the possibility of a quarterback run, you know,

2263
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,880
Speaker 16: a read zone or a zone read or I should say,

2264
01:48:34,880 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 16: a read option out of the legs of Riley Leonard.

2265
01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 3: So you know, we'll see.

2266
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 16: But you know, I think the Colt's going to be

2267
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,560
Speaker 16: hypothetically able to push the ball outside the numbers in

2268
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 16: vertically a little bit more. Maybe a bigger game for Pierce,

2269
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 16: who didn't have a catch last week against in the

2270
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 16: last game, you know, against Jacksonville.

2271
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

2272
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:59,640
Speaker 16: But I think from a unloading of the playbook, if

2273
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,040
Speaker 16: you will, on Riley Leonard, everything's going to be right

2274
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:05,360
Speaker 16: there for him because he's a pretty smart guy that's

2275
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 16: just been dedicated to getting better all season long, both

2276
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 16: on the field and the meeting rooms for the Colts

2277
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 16: inside that quarterback position.

2278
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 3: All right, buddy, always good to talk to you. I

2279
01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:18,560
Speaker 3: have a great game on Sunday, and we'll recap the

2280
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 3: whole season with you sometime next week.

2281
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:22,679
Speaker 16: Okay, all right, guys, I look forward to it. Thanks

2282
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:25,519
Speaker 16: as always for everything all year and it's been fun.

2283
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 16: One final ride on Sunday.

2284
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Matt. We appreciate you being here

2285
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:31,200
Speaker 3: on the paylist Loockers Hotline. And I will tell you this,

2286
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:35,160
Speaker 3: that is a hard working young man. I mean he

2287
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:39,080
Speaker 3: works his tailoff getting ready for these games. All young

2288
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 3: Oh he is.

2289
01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:42,120
Speaker 15: I guess he's relatively young. Shout out to mate.

2290
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 3: Everybody's relatively young to meet these days.

2291
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, right, true too.

2292
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, all right, Caleb, let's check it down

2293
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:51,559
Speaker 3: and get you ready to go for the weekend.

2294
01:49:58,120 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 14: Yes, we will start with the.

2295
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 3: Rose yesterday, New Year's Day, Indiana dominating from start to

2296
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:07,760
Speaker 3: finish over the Alabama Crimson Tide thirty eight three. I

2297
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:10,000
Speaker 3: guess I can't say start to finish because they had

2298
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 3: that kind of wonky first series, but after that they

2299
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 3: settled down and got going.

2300
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean from ninety seven percent of the game

2301
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:19,120
Speaker 15: to the finish.

2302
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:20,559
Speaker 3: It was zero zero at the end of the first

2303
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 3: quarter and then thirty eight points in three quarters against Alabama.

2304
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 3: Thirty eight three. The final score for Nanta Mendoza fourteen

2305
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 3: to sixteen to one hundred and ninety two yards, three touchdowns.

2306
01:50:31,080 --> 01:50:35,000
Speaker 3: Kayln Black had nine yards rushing in a touchdown receiving,

2307
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 3: Charlie Becker caught a touchdown pass. Omar Cooper caught a

2308
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,679
Speaker 3: touchdown pass. Elijah Surratt caught a touchdown pass.

2309
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 14: I can't leave out the running game.

2310
01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 3: Roman Hemby eighteen carries eighty nine yards and a touchdown.

2311
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:52,559
Speaker 3: All in all, the total yardage four hundred and ten

2312
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 3: for Indiana, only one hundred and ninety three, only twenty

2313
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 3: three yards rushing for Alabama.

2314
01:50:58,439 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 14: That is domination, Jane.

2315
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 15: They're the number one team in the country for a

2316
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 15: very obvious reason.

2317
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:06,640
Speaker 3: How about this? This is my favorite stat. I've been

2318
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:09,679
Speaker 3: waiting to drop this one all day long. Fernando Mendoza

2319
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:13,479
Speaker 3: against the Alabama Blitz yesterday eight for eight for one

2320
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty one yards, all three touchdown passes. That's

2321
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 3: the first quarterback to do that against Alabama against the

2322
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 3: Blitz since Johnny Manzel did it back in twenty thirteen

2323
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 3: when he also threw three touchdowns against the Alabama Blitz.

2324
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:28,719
Speaker 15: Not too shabby.

2325
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 3: Man oh Man, oh Man. They get ready now for

2326
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 3: a semi final game at the Peach Bowl next Friday night.

2327
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:37,639
Speaker 3: They'll be taking on Oregon, a rematch of the regular

2328
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 3: season game in which Indiana won at Autsin Stadium and

2329
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 3: Eugene thirty to twenty. The other semi final game will

2330
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,759
Speaker 3: feature Miami against ole Miss. That'll come your way Thursday

2331
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:49,320
Speaker 3: night from the Fiesta Bowl. Both those games start at

2332
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 3: seven to thirty pm on their respective evenings. Because yesterday

2333
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:55,680
Speaker 3: Oregon shutout Texas Tech twenty three to nothing and Ole

2334
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 3: Miss beat Georgia thirty nine to thirty four.

2335
01:51:58,280 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 14: They've had that.

2336
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 3: Weird safety to end the game. You see that.

2337
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:04,559
Speaker 15: Yeah, someone was probably mad about a bet being lost

2338
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 15: on that.

2339
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:08,599
Speaker 3: I can only hope, right, I don't know why if

2340
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a bad beat, Caleb, you want to

2341
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:12,519
Speaker 3: see it on? I hope it for people to lose

2342
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 3: money around here. Well, no, because it's a zero sum

2343
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:18,200
Speaker 3: game for everybody who lost money on that, people won

2344
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,839
Speaker 3: money on that. It is true. That is true. So anyway,

2345
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 3: that's that was a weird day yesterday. Later on tonight,

2346
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers return to the Fieldhouse. They'll take on

2347
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 3: the Spurs seven pm tip six thirty airtime here at

2348
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 3: ninety three five one oh seven to five the fan

2349
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:36,360
Speaker 3: trying to snap this horrendous ten game losing streak. Spurs

2350
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,920
Speaker 3: will be playing without Victor Winmnyama out with a left

2351
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 3: knee sowretness. They're calling it for tonight. And again I

2352
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:44,560
Speaker 3: thought they might have had that game against Orlando the

2353
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 3: other night they lose at one twelve to one to ten.

2354
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 3: But as Rick said after the game, difference was they

2355
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:51,000
Speaker 3: gave up sixty eight points in the first half and

2356
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 3: only forty four points in the second half. And he said, man,

2357
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 3: if we could have just done that for four quarters,

2358
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:57,519
Speaker 3: they'd have won that basketball game.

2359
01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:01,680
Speaker 15: Carlisle still stuck on when number nine, nine nine, will

2360
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:03,880
Speaker 15: one thousand come finally today?

2361
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:06,639
Speaker 3: That would be nice to see again. That one starts

2362
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 3: at seven pm airtime six thirty here at ninety three

2363
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:10,840
Speaker 3: five and one o seven to five of the fan.

2364
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,479
Speaker 3: Colts of Texans, we just heard about that from Matt Taylor.

2365
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:16,840
Speaker 3: They'll play Sunday afternoon at one. Riley Leonard will be

2366
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 3: starting at quarterback for the Colts. And what will Carly

2367
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:22,639
Speaker 3: Ersay Gordon be thinking during that game? And what will

2368
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 3: the future be for all kinds of players, for Chris Ballard,

2369
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 3: for Shane Steichen. We'll wait and see what she thinks

2370
01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:31,880
Speaker 3: about all that in the hours following that game. What

2371
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:33,800
Speaker 3: do I'll ask you the same thing I asked Matt

2372
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 3: Taylor a moment ago. What do you think is the

2373
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:39,040
Speaker 3: likely day for Riley Leonard against the Texans? Are really

2374
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 3: good defensive football team that's playing for their playoff lives.

2375
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 15: The Colts lose by double digits, and Ry Leonard has

2376
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 15: a very bad NFL start, his first NFL start.

2377
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:49,600
Speaker 3: Well, I think you and I were talking off the

2378
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:51,599
Speaker 3: year a little while ago before the show started about

2379
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 3: a good game for him would look like something like

2380
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:57,519
Speaker 3: maybe two hundred and five yards passing with two touchdowns

2381
01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:58,719
Speaker 3: and maybe fifty yards rushing.

2382
01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 14: That's about what would be a great game for him.

2383
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:02,720
Speaker 15: Right, that would be Yeah, that'd be a great game.

2384
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 15: I would sign up for that.

2385
01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2386
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:06,320
Speaker 15: I think a good game for him will be to

2387
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,960
Speaker 15: not turn the ball over and score at least one touchdown.

2388
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:10,519
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.

2389
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 14: We know he's a terrifically athletic kid. We know that

2390
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 14: he's a really smart guy.

2391
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,839
Speaker 3: My question has always been can he throw the football

2392
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 3: at an NFL level consistently.

2393
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:22,559
Speaker 15: He looked good in the Jacksonville game when he filled

2394
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:24,719
Speaker 15: in for Daniel Jones. So we'll see what's in store

2395
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 15: come Sunday in the season finale.

2396
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,559
Speaker 3: All right, college basketball coming your way this weekend. Tonight,

2423
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:43,920
Speaker 3: I was telling you during the break one of my

2424
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 3: biggest wins of the weekend is I've been going back

2425
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 3: and forth with the New York Times for like three

2426
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 3: and a half weeks now. Somehow I got locked out

2427
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 3: of my account at the Athletic, and you know, I've

2428
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 3: just been going through withdrawls because one of the first

2429
01:55:57,240 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 3: things I do when I wake up in the morning

2430
01:55:58,680 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 3: is I go to the Star and the Athletic and

2431
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:01,880
Speaker 3: I just want to see what people are writing and

2432
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:07,520
Speaker 3: talking about whatever. And finally, out of nowhere, nothing's changed.

2433
01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 3: I tried to log in every morning and then I'd

2434
01:56:11,120 --> 01:56:12,720
Speaker 3: send an email to the New York Times saying it

2435
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:14,880
Speaker 3: still doesn't work, still doesn't work, Like, well, we can't

2436
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:18,160
Speaker 3: figure it out. Why all of a sudden yesterday success, James,

2437
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 3: I'm back in. Who would you talk to? James? Yeah?

2438
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 15: Did you get something done?

2439
01:56:22,520 --> 01:56:24,600
Speaker 3: Did you pull some strings? What was going on over there?

2440
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 14: I pulled?

2441
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 3: I like to think that James keep him away from

2442
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:29,440
Speaker 3: my stuff.

2443
01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:32,280
Speaker 15: Put out a piece this morning. I would encourage you

2444
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 15: all check it out after the show. Five questions for

2445
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 15: carly Ers Gordon to ponder ahead of a very pivotal

2446
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 15: cold off season. A couple of questions. You can probably

2447
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:44,720
Speaker 15: predict one of them. The first one is about Chris Ballard.

2448
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 15: So does he stay? Does he go? What's the resume

2449
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 15: and total?

2450
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 16: Yeah?

2451
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 15: Basically, can he get a tenth life? He's got nine

2452
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:53,680
Speaker 15: lives so far?

2453
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 3: Like a can't all right? Uh, Caleb? You read it

2454
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 3: a rock and roll for predictions for this coming up

2455
01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 3: weekend in the National Ball League.

2456
01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:02,280
Speaker 14: Let's do it all right?

2457
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:07,040
Speaker 3: All right, Caleb, But I'm gonna let you get started today.

2458
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:10,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna start with the toughest game to figure out

2459
01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 3: the one that you think is gonna be could go

2460
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 3: either way on the schedule. This week.

2461
01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 4: I think this is the best week eighteen we've had

2462
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 4: in a little bit. I am struggling to find out

2463
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 4: who will win Seahawks forty nine Ers tomorrow night at

2464
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 4: eight o'clock on ESPN. I'm gonna lean Niners, but man,

2465
01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 4: it feels like the Seahawks have been good all year.

2466
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 3: But I do think the Niners are playing better right now.

2467
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 14: That's a good one, James.

2468
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 15: I'll go Panthers Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are three point favorites. However,

2469
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 15: they've been realing as of late. And I believe the

2470
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:46,920
Speaker 15: way it kind of works here is if the Panthers

2471
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:48,880
Speaker 15: win this game, they won the division and there it's

2472
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:51,640
Speaker 15: the playoffs. And wouldn't that be something for the Bryce

2473
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 15: Young redemption arc.

2474
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 3: How about Dave Knais in his second year as head

2475
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:59,200
Speaker 3: coach getting the Panthers from where they were into the postseason.

2476
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 15: That'd be something that'd be crazy.

2477
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the old man Rogers and one

2478
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:07,520
Speaker 3: of my favorite players, Lamar Jackson the Ravens in the

2479
01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 3: Steelers Sunday at eight twenty. It'll be the last game

2480
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 3: of the season. It's a big, big winner, take all game,

2481
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 3: and it might be the last time we ever see

2482
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. But again, I'm a big Lamar Jackson fan.

2483
01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 3: Some of the questions people ask about him are ridiculous

2484
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 3: to me. There isn't a team that wouldn't take him.

2485
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:28,000
Speaker 3: Is there not named Kansas City or so.

2486
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 15: It's going to say. It's only about a handful of them,

2487
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:33,600
Speaker 15: maybe four, that wouldn't take them to take him here

2488
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:34,480
Speaker 15: in these circumstances.

2489
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be to me, the best game of

2490
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 3: the week. And I actually think the Ravens are gonna

2491
01:58:38,880 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 3: win that. There are three and a half point underdogs

2492
01:58:41,440 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 3: on the road, So see what happens. All right, what

2493
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:48,040
Speaker 3: do we have next, Caleb? Most entertaining is that?

2494
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 16: Right?

2495
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:49,920
Speaker 3: Yep? Most entertaining game.

2496
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 4: Let's I'm gonna go the Panthers Buccaneers because I do think, well,

2497
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:57,400
Speaker 4: you have these types of games between two teams that

2498
01:58:57,480 --> 01:59:00,800
Speaker 4: are as the Jeff said yesterday or two go mid

2499
01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:04,480
Speaker 4: you know, when you have two teams like this battling

2500
01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:06,040
Speaker 4: for a playoffs. But I think it could be fun.

2501
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 4: Some weird stuff might happen. I'm here for it. I

2502
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 4: think it'll be fun tomorrow.

2503
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:12,080
Speaker 15: All right, you James, I'm gonna roll with the Ravens

2504
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:15,360
Speaker 15: and the Steelers. I do enjoy watching Lamar Jackson play football.

2505
01:59:15,360 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 15: I don't know so many people who don't like watching him.

2506
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:19,920
Speaker 15: And if they win, they get in and that will

2507
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 15: be remarkable considering they started to one and five this year.

2508
01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 3: All Right, I'm gonna go with a team trying to

2509
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:28,240
Speaker 3: be the number one seed in the AFC, the Broncos

2510
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:32,240
Speaker 3: taking on the Chargers. That was a four to twenty

2511
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 3: five game. If the Broncos win, they have the number

2512
01:59:34,320 --> 01:59:37,040
Speaker 3: one seed overall in the AFC. I do think that

2513
01:59:37,120 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 3: that's going to be a really entertaining game. Broncos are

2514
01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:42,000
Speaker 3: twelve and a half point favorites, but the Chargers always

2515
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,600
Speaker 3: seem to play them really well. Speaking of divisional games,

2516
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 3: though I didn't know this, I was researching all these

2517
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:49,080
Speaker 3: games the other day. Do you know that Sean Payton

2518
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:51,440
Speaker 3: has beating Andy Reid three of the last four times

2519
01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:52,560
Speaker 3: those two teams have played.

2520
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:54,320
Speaker 15: That is crazy.

2521
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:56,960
Speaker 3: He's turned things around in Denver there, and I don't

2522
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 3: know how much of that is Kansas City is kind

2523
01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 3: of regret, which we've seen, or the Broncos. I still

2524
02:00:02,360 --> 02:00:04,440
Speaker 3: they're thirteen and three, they could be fourteen and three,

2525
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:06,160
Speaker 3: and I still don't know how good they are.

2526
02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:07,960
Speaker 14: James, is that crazy?

2527
02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:09,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's a good point.

2528
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:11,760
Speaker 14: All right, d And one other to pick Caleb, What

2529
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:12,200
Speaker 14: do we have?

2530
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:13,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, we have.

2531
02:00:14,640 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 4: Toughest, toughest, toughest game here, and I tell you what,

2532
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 4: when you get to week eighteen, that is we already

2533
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:22,320
Speaker 4: did toughest.

2534
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Okay, Yeah, tripping here.

2535
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:27,160
Speaker 14: Get excited over there.

2536
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, So easiest game and these spreads are tough, and

2537
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:32,480
Speaker 4: again we don't know who's going to play in some

2538
02:00:32,640 --> 02:00:35,240
Speaker 4: of these games. Are some of these playoff teams going

2539
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:39,360
Speaker 4: to rest people right now? As it stands, the line

2540
02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:42,440
Speaker 4: is six and a half for Buffalo hosting the Jets.

2541
02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:45,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say that's the easiest, but who knows how

2542
02:00:45,640 --> 02:00:48,360
Speaker 4: much Josh Allen will play in that game. It's a

2543
02:00:48,440 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 4: last game at the Buffalo Bill's high Mark Stadium, So

2544
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:54,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with that one, but that could change

2545
02:00:54,520 --> 02:00:55,400
Speaker 4: based on who plays.

2546
02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:59,840
Speaker 15: I'll roll with the Patriots and Dolphins. The Patriots are

2547
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 15: and a half point favorites. I don't think that they're

2548
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:03,600
Speaker 15: going to lose this game, but Miami can put up

2549
02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:06,720
Speaker 15: some points, and I feel like in the NFL whenever

2550
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:09,480
Speaker 15: I see a double digit line, I'm like, m that's

2551
02:01:09,520 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 15: a little weird. It's still the NFL is the best

2552
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:13,520
Speaker 15: players in the world, so I think that Miami can

2553
02:01:13,600 --> 02:01:14,800
Speaker 15: give them a little bit more of a game.

2554
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 3: I would have picked that, but I'm going to take

2555
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:20,800
Speaker 3: an opportunity to hammer one of our combadres here. Where's

2556
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:23,920
Speaker 3: Mark Dychton, Get him on the phone. I know the

2557
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Bears are at home. I know they're eleven and five.

2558
02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:29,640
Speaker 3: I know they're three point favorites. I think the Lions

2559
02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:31,520
Speaker 3: are going to rock them this this Sunday.

2560
02:01:31,560 --> 02:01:36,080
Speaker 14: How about that clip that and send that.

2561
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:37,160
Speaker 3: To Mark for me? Would you?

2562
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:39,600
Speaker 4: I will for sure let him know and maybe he

2563
02:01:39,680 --> 02:01:41,640
Speaker 4: can hold you accountable Monday morning.

2564
02:01:42,960 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 15: We'll see.

2565
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Other than that though, probably the easiest one. I do

2566
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:49,960
Speaker 3: think the Jaguars are just going to destroy the Tennessee

2567
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:52,960
Speaker 3: Titans and for real, That's That's truly my pick. I

2568
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 3: wanted to give Mark Steen and a half.

2569
02:01:55,040 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 15: You like that number.

2570
02:01:55,800 --> 02:01:56,640
Speaker 3: I like that number.

2571
02:01:56,720 --> 02:01:58,760
Speaker 14: I'd get me twenty and a half in that one.

2572
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Texas Jaguars around a roll. What are the Titans doing?

2573
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Jackson playing at home?

2574
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:05,080
Speaker 11: Too?

2575
02:02:05,280 --> 02:02:05,480
Speaker 16: Yeah?

2576
02:02:05,480 --> 02:02:07,800
Speaker 3: In fact, Jacksonville, you could make the case that they're

2577
02:02:07,800 --> 02:02:10,120
Speaker 3: playing the best of any AFC football team right now.

2578
02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:12,200
Speaker 3: That is a good argument you can make, all right,

2579
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:15,080
Speaker 3: anything else you want to throw in about the final

2580
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:17,879
Speaker 3: weekend of regular season playing the NFL Boys.

2581
02:02:18,080 --> 02:02:21,040
Speaker 4: I just want to say, I think it's pretty exciting, man. Like,

2582
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:25,160
Speaker 4: It's not every year you get week eighteen Week eighteens

2583
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 4: that truly have every window of games mattering.

2584
02:02:28,280 --> 02:02:30,960
Speaker 3: So I'm excited for it. It'll be fun to watch, yeah,

2585
02:02:31,040 --> 02:02:32,640
Speaker 3: and it will be interesting to see who's going to

2586
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 3: be playing and not playing in some of these games

2587
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,480
Speaker 3: because this is the last weekend of true regulars. I mean,

2588
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 3: you get some in the first round of the playoffs.

2589
02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:41,880
Speaker 3: But I'm a big fan of the daily fantasy like

2590
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:44,800
Speaker 3: on FanDuel and stuff like that, and putting together full

2591
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:45,880
Speaker 3: rosters and things.

2592
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:50,720
Speaker 14: I have had a very mid since you brought that up, Caleb,

2593
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:51,320
Speaker 14: I've had a.

2594
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 3: Very mid year. Usually I do really well in daily fantasy.

2595
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 14: It's been very mid for me this year.

2596
02:02:57,160 --> 02:03:00,840
Speaker 3: Not really made any money. Well that's better than losing money.

2597
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:03,520
Speaker 3: I'm probably like twenty bucks in the hole.

2598
02:03:04,280 --> 02:03:07,560
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know how much you're laying down each Sunday,

2599
02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 4: but I mean, I'll take that.

2600
02:03:08,920 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 3: I'll usually put like three or four lineups and it's

2601
02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:16,840
Speaker 3: spread it across different different you know, entry fees, and

2602
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 3: I'm probably good for about twenty five to thirty bucks

2603
02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 3: a week. All right, as far as entry fees are concerned,

2604
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 3: I'm probably down about twenty bucks this year. And usually

2605
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:25,880
Speaker 3: I make a little bit money and not this year. Well,

2606
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:28,680
Speaker 3: let's hope you can end up in the positive after

2607
02:03:28,840 --> 02:03:31,200
Speaker 3: this weekend. I got shut out completely last week. As

2608
02:03:31,200 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, it's crazy. I'll blame I blame

2609
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:34,560
Speaker 3: you guys.

2610
02:03:35,320 --> 02:03:37,760
Speaker 15: Today Number Jeff called the hotline.

2611
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:41,680
Speaker 14: All right, that's what's going on.

2612
02:03:41,720 --> 02:03:43,880
Speaker 3: As far as getting ready for the regular season. We'll

2613
02:03:43,880 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 3: talk about our predictions for the cults and what they're

2614
02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:48,320
Speaker 3: going to do this coming weekend. It is a very

2615
02:03:48,440 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 3: interesting weekend and I am I am fascinated now to

2616
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:54,240
Speaker 3: read your article on The Athletic about the five questions

2617
02:03:54,280 --> 02:03:57,600
Speaker 3: for Carli ers Gordon, because I guess the one question

2618
02:03:57,720 --> 02:04:01,280
Speaker 3: I would have, James, how how much does this particular

2619
02:04:01,440 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 3: game even mean to what her decisions are going to be.

2620
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:10,360
Speaker 15: Personally? I don't think it should mean anything. You already

2621
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 15: are out of the playoffs. I still look at this

2622
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:15,200
Speaker 15: as a losing season, regardless of if you finished nine

2623
02:04:15,200 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 15: to eight or eight and eight eight nine. I'm sorry

2624
02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:20,800
Speaker 15: I can't do math this morning. But nevertheless, Yeah, this

2625
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:24,600
Speaker 15: will be a very interesting next few days for this

2626
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:28,000
Speaker 15: franchise because whether you make changes, you don't make changes.

2627
02:04:28,120 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 15: One person stays, one person goes. I think a lot

2628
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 15: of us will still have a lot of opinions and

2629
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:35,720
Speaker 15: reactions to give. And luckily we do radio, so we'll

2630
02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 15: have a chance to talk all about it.

2631
02:04:37,000 --> 02:04:39,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm looking forward to next week, Like I said,

2632
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 3: one way or the other. But man, I'll be honest

2633
02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:46,360
Speaker 3: with you right now, I lean just trying to read

2634
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:46,960
Speaker 3: Tea leaves.

2635
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 15: It feels like.

2636
02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 3: She'll look at all the injuries that happened this year

2637
02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:56,760
Speaker 3: and all the crazy things they tried to do to

2638
02:04:56,880 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 3: dig themselves out of this, and the big swings for

2639
02:04:59,800 --> 02:05:04,320
Speaker 3: the says. I think she says, we're gonna get everybody healthy.

2640
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:06,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it one more shot. That's how it

2641
02:05:06,840 --> 02:05:08,120
Speaker 3: feels like it's trending to me.

2642
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:09,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, I know we got to hit a break here,

2643
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:12,920
Speaker 15: but certainly we can get into that debate here on

2644
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:13,560
Speaker 15: the other side.

2645
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk about that a little bit more

2646
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:17,800
Speaker 3: and give our prediction for the game on Sunday next.

2647
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:19,720
Speaker 3: It's ninety three five and one O seven five fan

2648
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:25,000
Speaker 3: one more time, James boy one more time, James Boyd.

2649
02:05:26,080 --> 02:05:28,320
Speaker 3: And then the week comes to a close, so it

2650
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:32,200
Speaker 3: is already twenty twenty six, but everybody will be back together. Caleb,

2651
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:34,560
Speaker 3: great job filling in for Mark Dykeden and it is

2652
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 3: a never ending vacation days that he had here at

2653
02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:39,080
Speaker 3: the end of the year. Good job out of you.

2654
02:05:39,280 --> 02:05:41,320
Speaker 3: You guys know I always love this man. It's been

2655
02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:41,839
Speaker 3: a blast.

2656
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:45,839
Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys, the audience welcoming me in despite

2657
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:48,440
Speaker 4: them getting mad at me for my take about the

2658
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:51,440
Speaker 4: colt's mascot Blue, which is still something I'm thinking about

2659
02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:53,800
Speaker 4: from earlier in the week. But yeah, love everybody and

2660
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:55,320
Speaker 4: I just love being here, So thank you for the

2661
02:05:55,360 --> 02:05:55,960
Speaker 4: opportunity we got.

2662
02:05:56,000 --> 02:05:56,440
Speaker 15: Beef with Blue.

2663
02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:57,200
Speaker 3: Been a lot of fun.

2664
02:05:57,520 --> 02:05:59,720
Speaker 14: Who nobody can have beef with Blue?

2665
02:05:59,760 --> 02:06:01,720
Speaker 3: Come on, all I said, I love Blue.

2666
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:03,840
Speaker 14: You got a pie coming, I think is what you got.

2667
02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:06,200
Speaker 15: I probably I.

2668
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:09,520
Speaker 4: Probably do because that's all he does to everybody. All

2669
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:12,520
Speaker 4: I was asking is that he gets a new stick

2670
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six. But that that's some need to

2671
02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:15,680
Speaker 4: ruffle some feathers.

2672
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 3: It hasn't gotten old yet though, it has to me

2673
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:23,160
Speaker 3: mister Ohio State. No, Yeah, that's that's the one up

2674
02:06:23,240 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 3: you have on me.

2675
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:24,960
Speaker 15: Jeff right there?

2676
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Uh Jim d taking a little shot this morning on

2677
02:06:28,640 --> 02:06:33,760
Speaker 3: the text line. Uh is he talking about the reading?

2678
02:06:34,320 --> 02:06:38,600
Speaker 3: Hey moving forward with Philip Rivers? Only if Jeff Saturday could,

2679
02:06:38,680 --> 02:06:41,240
Speaker 3: If only Jeff Saturday could have coached up Rivers.

2680
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:43,800
Speaker 14: Shots, all those.

2681
02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:46,000
Speaker 15: Likes the two weirdest things that have happened on when

2682
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:48,400
Speaker 15: I'm been on the beat combined into one. And so

2683
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:51,120
Speaker 15: that guy wants my life to be a nightmare always,

2684
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:53,400
Speaker 15: and so I will take a pass on that proposition.

2685
02:06:53,640 --> 02:06:57,640
Speaker 15: I will say for this weekend, regardless of what happens

2686
02:06:57,640 --> 02:07:01,760
Speaker 15: against the Houston Texans, Hugh whose decisions a way and

2687
02:07:02,480 --> 02:07:06,480
Speaker 15: my position on whatever decisions that make that Carli Ersa

2688
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:12,480
Speaker 15: Gordon and her sisters make it would probably behoove her

2689
02:07:12,720 --> 02:07:15,320
Speaker 15: given it to her first off season. And look, I'm

2690
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:17,520
Speaker 15: not acting like she has been around the program for decades,

2691
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 15: but can you just explain them to the public? If

2692
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:26,000
Speaker 15: you move on, obviously that would warrant some sort of

2693
02:07:26,160 --> 02:07:29,240
Speaker 15: press coverage, some sort of announcement or some sit down

2694
02:07:29,320 --> 02:07:33,120
Speaker 15: with the media. But if you don't, and most owners

2695
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 15: don't talk to the media, nothing changes. If nothing changes,

2696
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:39,760
Speaker 15: given how this season has gone, how the last pretty

2697
02:07:39,840 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 15: much decade has gone under Ballad, I think it would

2698
02:07:42,600 --> 02:07:46,160
Speaker 15: be at least worth explaining why he is still here.

2699
02:07:47,280 --> 02:07:49,320
Speaker 3: It is going to be fascinating. And you can go

2700
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:51,680
Speaker 3: check out your column and the Athletic that you just

2701
02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:52,720
Speaker 3: posted this morning, right.

2702
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 15: Yes, I was writing that the other day and trying

2703
02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:59,840
Speaker 15: to get ready for what should be an interesting next

2704
02:08:00,040 --> 02:08:03,160
Speaker 15: couple of days, just to sort of prepare for and

2705
02:08:03,200 --> 02:08:05,160
Speaker 15: also just to kind of give you all the rundown.

2706
02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 15: So the way it works is we will have the

2707
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:12,280
Speaker 15: season finale come Sunday in Houston. Then we have exit

2708
02:08:12,440 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 15: meetings Monday morning. I'll be flying back Saturday night for

2709
02:08:16,200 --> 02:08:18,640
Speaker 15: our paste. I'm sorry Sunday night for that. So Monday

2710
02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:20,800
Speaker 15: we'll speak to all the players and so we should

2711
02:08:20,840 --> 02:08:23,120
Speaker 15: hear I would think from Daniel Jones, first time since

2712
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:27,080
Speaker 15: he had the achilles injury, Anthony Richardson again, Travarius Ward,

2713
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:30,240
Speaker 15: we heard about him, you know, lasting me had a concussion.

2714
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:32,080
Speaker 15: You said you thought about retirement. Are you thinking about

2715
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,080
Speaker 15: it now after a third concussion. So we'll hear from

2716
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:36,200
Speaker 15: all the players that are injured and other big players.

2717
02:08:36,480 --> 02:08:40,080
Speaker 15: We're from Shane Steichen and then normally if there is

2718
02:08:40,200 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 15: no movement, meaning there's no hiring or firings, we'll hear

2719
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:46,440
Speaker 15: from Chris Baller later in the next coming week. But

2720
02:08:46,600 --> 02:08:48,280
Speaker 15: that could change if he's no longer here either. So

2721
02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:50,640
Speaker 15: that's what you have to look forward to from a

2722
02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:51,480
Speaker 15: Colts perspective.

2723
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:53,640
Speaker 3: All right, this Sunday, we're looking forward to a game

2724
02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:56,360
Speaker 3: against the Texans, and it look, if nothing else, you

2725
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:58,200
Speaker 3: at least want to finish the season with a winning

2726
02:08:58,200 --> 02:09:00,200
Speaker 3: record at nine and eight, right, that is true to

2727
02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:02,120
Speaker 3: go down, I mean, you want to break the losing streak,

2728
02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:04,760
Speaker 3: all those things. You want to ruin things for the Texans.

2729
02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:08,240
Speaker 3: That's always fun as well. We'll start with our Colts predictions.

2730
02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:13,840
Speaker 3: Caleb Zuver, Colts Texans. Your prediction for Sunday's game. I

2731
02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:16,000
Speaker 3: think Houston scores.

2732
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:17,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's tough to say that they're going to

2733
02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 4: score a lot, as they haven't this year, but I

2734
02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:21,840
Speaker 4: just think it's a type of game or they will.

2735
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:25,640
Speaker 4: I'm saying Houston thirty four Colts seventeen.

2736
02:09:26,720 --> 02:09:29,680
Speaker 15: Oooh, what's a big big that's a big number for

2737
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,160
Speaker 15: different right there. I'm going to go twenty four to

2738
02:09:32,320 --> 02:09:33,560
Speaker 15: thirteen Texans.

2739
02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:36,640
Speaker 3: I was going to go twenty six thirteen, and I

2740
02:09:36,680 --> 02:09:38,200
Speaker 3: think it'll be tough for the Colts to get a

2741
02:09:38,200 --> 02:09:40,520
Speaker 3: lot of offense going. I'd love to see Riley Leonard

2742
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:42,040
Speaker 3: do that. I think we'd all like to see him

2743
02:09:42,080 --> 02:09:44,800
Speaker 3: do that. But I'm picking. Yeah, I'm double digits. I

2744
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 3: I like the Texans to win. And when I say

2745
02:09:47,080 --> 02:09:50,720
Speaker 3: I like, I'm talking about for gambling and entertainment purposes.

2746
02:09:50,760 --> 02:09:53,400
Speaker 3: I want the Colts to win, But twenty six thirteen

2747
02:09:53,480 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 3: is what I think is likely to have.

2748
02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:58,160
Speaker 4: Here's my question, Jeff, how does a team get to

2749
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:02,280
Speaker 4: twenty six points? I'm curious you go for teams this one. Okay,

2750
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:05,320
Speaker 4: I like throwing those odd numbers in it, and I too,

2751
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:08,440
Speaker 4: I'm just curious how I got Texans doing that this Sunday.

2752
02:10:08,480 --> 02:10:10,720
Speaker 3: I'm always curious of that. You know, there are times

2753
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:15,040
Speaker 3: I thought it was weird last night that early in

2754
02:10:15,120 --> 02:10:17,960
Speaker 3: the game that Ole Miss was chasing points with that

2755
02:10:18,120 --> 02:10:20,080
Speaker 3: first two point conversion that they tried and filled that

2756
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:22,000
Speaker 3: I thought they to me and the reason I said

2757
02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:24,160
Speaker 3: that they had some momenting going. They had just scored

2758
02:10:24,200 --> 02:10:27,160
Speaker 3: a touchdown, they had just taken the league. Why give

2759
02:10:27,200 --> 02:10:29,560
Speaker 3: that momentum back. I don't understand that early in the game.

2760
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:31,800
Speaker 15: I don't get it either, but I guess you were

2761
02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:35,400
Speaker 15: looking for the one conversion there they all up. The

2762
02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:39,280
Speaker 15: Texans would have to score what two touchdowns and then

2763
02:10:39,400 --> 02:10:40,080
Speaker 15: have four field goals.

2764
02:10:40,080 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 3: It would be otherwise a twenty Yeah, it would be

2765
02:10:41,560 --> 02:10:43,800
Speaker 3: a twenty second three touchdowns, two field.

2766
02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:47,280
Speaker 4: Goals, three touchdowns, a field goal and a safety I

2767
02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:49,880
Speaker 4: believe would get you twenty six.

2768
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:51,840
Speaker 3: So I mean, I wasn't thinking the safety. I was

2769
02:10:51,880 --> 02:10:53,920
Speaker 3: thinking a miss, like a missed two points. I think

2770
02:10:53,960 --> 02:10:54,280
Speaker 3: you should.

2771
02:10:54,320 --> 02:10:56,880
Speaker 4: I mean, anything's possible with Riley Leonard under center. I

2772
02:10:56,960 --> 02:10:59,360
Speaker 4: feel like we don't know what we're in for. So

2773
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 4: just I'm just saying I'm trying to cover and say

2774
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:02,280
Speaker 4: I think.

2775
02:11:02,400 --> 02:11:04,320
Speaker 15: You know, Okayleb, I don't think it's gonna be looking

2776
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,560
Speaker 15: to It's a great, great defense, you Matt Taylor, and

2777
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:10,880
Speaker 15: is Taylor's tip. It's breaking it down and rookie quarterbacks

2778
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:13,720
Speaker 15: usually don't farewell in the first start and against defenses

2779
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:13,960
Speaker 15: like that.

2780
02:11:15,120 --> 02:11:17,600
Speaker 3: This is my This is my own personal parlay for

2781
02:11:17,680 --> 02:11:18,480
Speaker 3: this week, right.

2782
02:11:18,760 --> 02:11:21,440
Speaker 4: From just how you get out of the twenty dollars deficit, Well,

2783
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 4: you're putting money on this is what I wanted to happen.

2784
02:11:23,960 --> 02:11:24,080
Speaker 16: Right.

2785
02:11:24,560 --> 02:11:26,080
Speaker 14: I love that Ohio State gut beat.

2786
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:28,120
Speaker 3: I apologize, but that made me happy.

2787
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:28,600
Speaker 16: Right.

2788
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:32,880
Speaker 3: I love the Georgia got beat. I absolutely love that

2789
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:36,080
Speaker 3: Indiana put it on an Alabama. So now all I

2790
02:11:36,200 --> 02:11:38,440
Speaker 3: need tonight is for the Pacers to beat the Spurs

2791
02:11:38,480 --> 02:11:41,840
Speaker 3: without Victor women Yama, who's on the Pacers, y'all, he's

2792
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:46,280
Speaker 3: betting on the y'all. I need. I need Hinkle Fieldhouse

2793
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:49,240
Speaker 3: to be rocking with a win for Butler tomorrow. I

2794
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:53,480
Speaker 3: want Purdue to win at Kyle tomorrow night, and then

2795
02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:55,160
Speaker 3: I want the Colts to win on Sunday, and I'll

2796
02:11:55,240 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 3: leave Notre Dame for for Kevin to worry about.

2797
02:11:57,560 --> 02:12:00,640
Speaker 4: Ye. Well, I listen, I think betting on a safety

2798
02:12:01,080 --> 02:12:03,920
Speaker 4: Sunday again with that defense that might get you out

2799
02:12:03,920 --> 02:12:04,400
Speaker 4: of the twenties.

2800
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:07,120
Speaker 3: You brought up the safety, I said nothing about it.

2801
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:08,720
Speaker 6: What would I go for two?

2802
02:12:09,200 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 16: Huh?

2803
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:11,160
Speaker 14: Because they go for two teams.

2804
02:12:11,200 --> 02:12:14,760
Speaker 3: That's what teams do early and twenty six points. Let's

2805
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:18,400
Speaker 3: go score a gun when they scored, when they scored

2806
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:20,560
Speaker 3: twenty six points, y'all are taking me to lunch.

2807
02:12:21,600 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 15: Taking nowhere? Could they about the man?

2808
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:25,839
Speaker 3: You should take us if you bet on the safety.

2809
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:27,120
Speaker 15: And I want to know if they want to go

2810
02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 15: for it, what are they going for?

2811
02:12:28,200 --> 02:12:28,480
Speaker 4: Two for.

2812
02:12:31,520 --> 02:12:34,240
Speaker 15: Houston offense that they could get two touchdowns on fourfield

2813
02:12:34,360 --> 02:12:37,360
Speaker 15: regularly it could get two touchdowns and four field right there.

2814
02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I broke it down, all right, So there's a

2815
02:12:39,560 --> 02:12:42,080
Speaker 3: there's a lots ways. There are a lot of ways

2816
02:12:42,120 --> 02:12:43,760
Speaker 3: to get to twenty six points.

2817
02:12:43,800 --> 02:12:44,120
Speaker 14: All right.

2818
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let paying season ticket holder out the last

2819
02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 3: word on the text line today, says, if Riley and

2820
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:51,560
Speaker 3: the Colts are able to beat the Texans, he'll complete

2821
02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 3: passes at sixty percent. With his conversation, with this conversation,

2822
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:59,640
Speaker 3: would he be the early week's starter waiting for Daniel

2823
02:12:59,680 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 3: Jones it back next year?

2824
02:13:00,840 --> 02:13:02,880
Speaker 15: If you knows well, I do not think that will

2825
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:03,640
Speaker 15: be the case.

2826
02:13:03,880 --> 02:13:05,720
Speaker 3: He says. He's a blidon. I guess yeah.

2827
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 15: In theory, if you don't have Anthony Richard's on your roster,

2828
02:13:08,400 --> 02:13:10,520
Speaker 15: if he's ready to move on and the team is

2829
02:13:10,520 --> 02:13:12,440
Speaker 15: ready to move on from him, then maybe, but I

2830
02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:15,560
Speaker 15: don't think you should go into twenty twenty six with

2831
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:18,160
Speaker 15: any inkling that Ry Leonard could be your starter. No,

2832
02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:18,680
Speaker 15: don't do that.

2833
02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:21,120
Speaker 3: He says he's a blind Colts fan and he knows

2834
02:13:21,240 --> 02:13:24,320
Speaker 3: the wind will ninety percent probably not take place to win.

2835
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:26,880
Speaker 3: He's speaking into the text, I think, but he likes

2836
02:13:26,920 --> 02:13:27,280
Speaker 3: to dream.

2837
02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:28,560
Speaker 14: He likes to dream.

2838
02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:31,000
Speaker 3: I agree with that too. And he also says, I

2839
02:13:31,120 --> 02:13:33,040
Speaker 3: wanted to say that rooting for all Indiana teams.

2840
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:33,440
Speaker 1: Is not rare.

2841
02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:35,400
Speaker 3: We had a caller saying that earlier today. He was

2842
02:13:35,440 --> 02:13:38,800
Speaker 3: born and raised in the state, roots for everybody. Purdue,

2843
02:13:38,880 --> 02:13:42,120
Speaker 3: Butler cults Pacers. Well, what happens when Purdue in Indiana play?

2844
02:13:42,200 --> 02:13:43,960
Speaker 15: That's Michael's So what I'm saying, I'm in from a

2845
02:13:44,080 --> 02:13:47,760
Speaker 15: college standpoint, not from an Indiana sports fan standpoint. No,

2846
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:49,720
Speaker 15: I think it's very rare for have to have people

2847
02:13:49,760 --> 02:13:52,360
Speaker 15: who are Notre Dame fans cheering for IU or Hi

2848
02:13:52,440 --> 02:13:53,280
Speaker 15: you cheering for Purdue.

2849
02:13:53,360 --> 02:13:56,200
Speaker 3: There anybody at Purdue that feels good about India.

2850
02:13:56,600 --> 02:13:57,640
Speaker 15: That doesn't happen too often.

2851
02:13:58,080 --> 02:13:59,960
Speaker 3: That's all you got to do is look at the

2852
02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:05,280
Speaker 3: office over there for Todd Meyer, mister Pridieu. He probably

2853
02:14:05,320 --> 02:14:07,000
Speaker 3: turned the TV off when it got to twenty four

2854
02:14:07,040 --> 02:14:07,280
Speaker 3: to nothing.

2855
02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:08,960
Speaker 15: Yes, I don't think he's heard the voice of Don

2856
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:10,720
Speaker 15: Fisher very often as of late.

2857
02:14:11,280 --> 02:14:14,360
Speaker 3: All Right, great job again Caleb filling in for Mark

2858
02:14:14,360 --> 02:14:16,200
Speaker 3: over these last couple of weeks. Really appreciate all the

2859
02:14:16,240 --> 02:14:18,640
Speaker 3: great stuff you're doing, James. I know you're going to do.

2860
02:14:18,680 --> 02:14:20,080
Speaker 3: You have to go back over to West fifty six

2861
02:14:20,200 --> 02:14:21,360
Speaker 3: later on today, get ready.

2862
02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:23,320
Speaker 15: For yes, the final practice of the season.

2863
02:14:23,880 --> 02:14:26,400
Speaker 3: Anybody in particular we're watching to see who they participate

2864
02:14:26,480 --> 02:14:27,440
Speaker 3: in practice today.

2865
02:14:27,240 --> 02:14:30,840
Speaker 15: Or not making sure Bordolini continues to practice. I think

2866
02:14:31,560 --> 02:14:34,080
Speaker 15: Sauce Garden is probably a DMP for Sunday, which makes

2867
02:14:34,080 --> 02:14:36,160
Speaker 15: sens given his calf injury. And I do want to

2868
02:14:36,200 --> 02:14:39,000
Speaker 15: get an update on Will Mallory's long He's been listening

2869
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:39,560
Speaker 15: on to the injury report.

2870
02:14:39,600 --> 02:14:41,480
Speaker 14: That was weird, right, and that's very weird.

2871
02:14:41,760 --> 02:14:43,560
Speaker 15: So that popped up a couple of days ago. He's

2872
02:14:43,560 --> 02:14:45,320
Speaker 15: been out the last two days with a lung injury.

2873
02:14:45,960 --> 02:14:47,960
Speaker 15: And yeah, we'll have to get to the bottom of that,

2874
02:14:48,040 --> 02:14:50,120
Speaker 15: which saye' stiching here in a few hours.

2875
02:14:50,320 --> 02:14:52,520
Speaker 3: All right. Other than Net, you expect everybody else to

2876
02:14:52,560 --> 02:14:54,280
Speaker 3: pretty much play. I'm telling no reason.

2877
02:14:54,600 --> 02:14:56,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, we talked to John Taylor and others, and that's

2878
02:14:56,760 --> 02:14:58,160
Speaker 15: one thing I will say. They get paid a lot

2879
02:14:58,200 --> 02:15:00,160
Speaker 15: of money to play football. So if you're healthy, you

2880
02:15:00,200 --> 02:15:00,680
Speaker 15: should play.

2881
02:15:00,760 --> 02:15:03,200
Speaker 3: And by the way, most players, believe it or not,

2882
02:15:03,400 --> 02:15:05,160
Speaker 3: they only get seventeen chances a year.

2883
02:15:05,680 --> 02:15:07,200
Speaker 14: Most players they want to play.

2884
02:15:07,320 --> 02:15:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, on Sunday, that's their football players. They want to play.

2885
02:15:09,720 --> 02:15:12,120
Speaker 15: Breaking news. Football players get paid to play football, so

2886
02:15:12,120 --> 02:15:12,800
Speaker 15: they should be out there.

2887
02:15:12,840 --> 02:15:14,960
Speaker 14: They wake up on Sunday morning and they get the butterflies.

2888
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:16,800
Speaker 3: They're ready to go. They want to go play football.

2889
02:15:16,800 --> 02:15:17,680
Speaker 14: It's what they do there.

2890
02:15:17,680 --> 02:15:20,720
Speaker 3: You go. We forget that sometimes, well I didn't forget.

2891
02:15:20,720 --> 02:15:22,480
Speaker 15: I look at your salaries. Very often they get out

2892
02:15:22,520 --> 02:15:23,640
