1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: So let me tell you what happened last night between 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: Eddie Garrison, who of course is the president of Quarium 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Company and whose voice you hear periodically and intermittently on 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: this radio program, and myself. What happened last night, And 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to guestimate sometime around two am total guest 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: of it. Eddie was working late after the Pacer game 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: last night. He is the radio producer for the Pacers 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: radio broadcast, and the Pacers of course being on the 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,319 Speaker 1: West Coast out in Los Angeles or Los Angeles as 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: Vander Alwright used to say. And of course, it was 11 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: a less than ideal weather evening. I had just a 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: couple of hours before driven back home and literally you 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: couldn't see half a block in front of you. I mean, 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: it was like treacherous driving, honestly, conditions last night because 15 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: the fog was so thick. And then eventually that turned 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: into rain. And Eddie was on his way home from 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: the Pacer game and sent me a video. And the 18 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: video that you sent Eddie was showing me exactly what 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: from the parking lot. It was Radio one river there 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: was the parking lot had turned into this river right 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: that was flowing through the parking lot. Yeah, now, was 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: the fog still thick when you drove home? 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 2: No, there was no fog because it was raining. 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: Okay, excellent point, very good meteorological fact. On your behalf 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: there right by you. Thank you, well done. 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 3: Even though I'm sleep deprived, I can put words together 27 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 3: in a sentence. 28 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I should be sleep deprived too. We 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: were both texting at the same time. Clearly we were 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: both now you know the night owl lifestyle. That is 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: one ja query, But it was perfectly symbolic. It was 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: perfectly symbolic that Eddie last night, at some two o'clock 33 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: in the morning would send me a picture of the 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: Radio river which was water flowing through the parking lot 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: here in the building. And it was perfectly fitting because 36 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: I made the comment back because we had had this 37 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: wager about the snow mounds and how long they were 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: going to last in the parking lot. So even though 39 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: they had been cleared out some two weeks ago, I 40 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: jokingly said to Eddie, yeah, that's the snow mounds leaving 41 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: for the final time. In reality, that river that was 42 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: running was perfectly symbolic of sports in Indianapolis right now, 43 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: because you had some of that moisture that you saw 44 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: was from the snow mounds, some of it was from 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: rain that was happening right then, some of it was 46 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: from the fact the ground was saturated from the snow 47 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: we'd had earlier. You had all this confluence of different stuff, 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: some of which was coming out of left field, some 49 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: of which has been sitting there simmering for a while, 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: all coming together to form this flowing river that Eddie noticed. 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: And there are stories right now within the sports landscape 52 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis that that's exactly the case. Some of them 53 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: are newer, some of them have been simmering for a while, 54 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: and some of them are those that we've been sitting 55 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: there watching. And it's only once the fog has dissipated 56 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: that it's become clear that we've been able to see 57 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: all of these stories flowing. But one of the stories 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: is one that continues to bend and weave its way 59 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: with different avenues in which you can take it. And 60 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: that's the situation with Alec Pierce and Alec Pearce and 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the Colts, and we talked plenty about it yesterday. Alec 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: Pierce has made no bones about the fact now that 63 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: he owes it to himself to test free agency, and 64 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: it certainly feels like that testing a free agency for 65 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce could land him elsewhere. The other dominoes, the 66 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: other little boulders in the stream as the river flows 67 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: through of the Alec Pierce story, the little pebble in 68 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: the parking lot that suddenly sends everything in a different direction. 69 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: And this happens a lot with stories and sports. They 70 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: weave all over the place. And the latest with the 71 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce saga would be this here is what is 72 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: believed to be a you wouldn't say franchise level wide 73 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: receiver for the Colts, but a key part of their 74 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: offense going forward. And you all know the situation and 75 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: the saga. We knew he was at the end of 76 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: his contract. He had said that Daniel Jones being retained 77 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: was going to be a big part of whether or 78 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: not he wants to play here. He really likes playing 79 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones is coming off injury. Daniel Jones' 80 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: long term status with the Colts is in question, even 81 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: though they have transition tagged him, and so Alec Pierce 82 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: was looking at it saying, okay, it would have gone 83 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: probably a long way towards retaining Alec Pierce, if Daniel 84 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Jones already had been agreed upon and locked and loaded 85 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: and ready to go. But things for Alec Pierce at 86 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: the time in which he needed to be presented that offer, 87 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: it was still very foggy. It was hard for him 88 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: to see beyond the next intersection or in this case, 89 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: the next week. Because Daniel Jones also's status was even foggier. 90 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: We don't know when exactly we're going to have the clarity. 91 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: It hasn't started raining to lift that fog yet in 92 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: terms of the Jones situation, beyond the transition tag of 93 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: one year, so now Eddie, within the last couple of hours, 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: what we know is this, there are two teams, not one, 95 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: but two that are now either in need for a 96 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: receiver or maybe have addressed that need, and you'd take 97 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: that off the board. For example, there are many, including 98 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: myself yesterday, who have made the point or wondered out 99 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: loud what Alec Pierce could do if he had the 100 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: strong arm of a Josh Allen delivering him a sixty 101 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: yard behind the defense play. And also with Buffalo, when 102 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: you look at Buffalo's offense, which is one that clearly 103 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: we know has been an elite level offense for some time, 104 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: but has just been a little bit short of, you know, 105 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: getting over that hump. And they have had elite receivers 106 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs comes to mind, other players there for Josh 107 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: Allen to throw to. And so it seemed as though 108 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce would be a really good match for that, 109 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: and that was one that I think a lot of 110 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: people worried about, could Alec Pierce end up in Buffalo? 111 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: But this morning, what we know that river of that 112 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: seemingly might be flowing Alec Pierce in that direction, just 113 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's flowing in a different direction 114 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: now because the Buffalo Bills have addressed that situation at 115 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: receiver at least in one slot, correct, Eddie. 116 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: Yes, they traded reportedly per Adam Schefter, Ian Rapaport and 117 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: many others that they have traded for DJ Moore from 118 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears. Of course, he started his career with 119 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers. And now that gives Josh Allen a 120 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: kind of number one receiver in. 121 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: Dj Moore kind of. 122 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: I don't really know if he's still the big play 123 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: receiver though, yeah, he fits what they want to do 124 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: with Josh Allen and getting the ball out of his 125 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: hands quick and getting to guys in space to. 126 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: Let them make some yards after the catch. 127 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: Now, the afore mentioned Stefan Diggs big play capability, big 128 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: play capability that might actually there was this foggy situation 129 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: in terms of Drake May and his the weapons that 130 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: he was going to have in New England and whether 131 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: or not they were going to maintain that relationship. That 132 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: fog is now lifted. We have clarity there, we understand it, 133 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and that re again takes the river that's flowing that 134 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: is the Alec Piers story, and rechannels it perhaps towards 135 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: New England, because what we know now is that New 136 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: England is releasing Stefan Diggs. Now, Eddie, you have been 137 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: from the moment we started talking about this. New England 138 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: is one that you circled, not as an inevitability or 139 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: as a front runner per se, but as a key 140 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: franchise to watch in the Alec Pierce saga. 141 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: Especially after the news yesterday of releasing you know, Stefan Diggs. 142 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: I would say they are the number one threat to 143 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: signing him in free agency because if you watch the 144 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: Patriots at all during the playoff, ringing like man, if 145 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 3: Drake May could just have a number one receiver that 146 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 3: can consistently get opened down the field or put some 147 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: sort of threat and defenses, it's only going to make 148 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 3: him look better. And he was a MVP runner up 149 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: and could have won and should have won. If somebody 150 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: doesn't vote for Justin Herbert first in the MVP ballot, 151 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: if that one vote goes to Drake May, he's your 152 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: MVP over Matthew Stafford. 153 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: And they've got cap space. 154 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: To be able to do whatever they want, and so 155 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 3: pretty it seems pretty likely that they will make a 156 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: strong effort for Alec Pearson. There's a lot of you know, 157 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: rumors and stuff of interest reportedly between them and trying 158 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: to acquire AJ Brown because of Mike Rabel's familiarity with 159 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: AJ Brown and Tennessee, and they think that Brown respects 160 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: Vrabel enough and Verbel understands AJ Brown enough to be 161 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: able to control his personality. 162 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: The one thing about Alec Pierce, and we can get 163 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: into this in more detail over the course of today 164 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: and throughout this journey, but I recall vividly a couple 165 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: of guys come to mind, Brett Perryman comes to mind, 166 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: Alvin Harper comes to mind. There have been players, and 167 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne comes to mind. And let me explain. There 168 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: have been receivers that were kind of secondary receivers that 169 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: had huge numbers or huge years, and so therefore people 170 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: thought that's a number one guy. And then you found 171 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: out that when they were lighting up where they were 172 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: the target as opposed to the beneficiary of a target 173 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: that would periodically be decoy. It was a game changer. 174 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: And suddenly Alvin Harper going to and playing in Tampa 175 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: was a lot different than when he had Michael Irvan 176 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: alongside of him. And there are other guys like that 177 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: that you know, Herman Moore made really good receivers on 178 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: the other side of him, and then when they went 179 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: out on their own, it was a little bit different. 180 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: The one thing about that Reggie went played alongside Marvin Harrison. 181 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison then suddenly is not as available. Reggie Wayne 182 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: reinvents himself as a receiver in terms of a more 183 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: possession over the middle guy and becomes and extends his 184 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: career into a borderline Hall of Fame career, and he 185 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: is the guy that's been coaching Alec Pierce. So does 186 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: that change that flow of the way things go for 187 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce? Then you had college basketball, and it seems 188 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: as though with Purdue, we just don't know which way 189 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: it can consistently flow. And I watched last night against Northwestern. 190 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: I watched the entire second half, and two things that 191 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: I noticed. Number One, Purdue has struggled in guarding the 192 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: three point shot really for the second half of the season, 193 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: but for the most part most of the season, and 194 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: last night they actually contested some late three point shots 195 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: for Northwestern, but it was just one of those games 196 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: where and you see this sometimes where just everything every contested, 197 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: every shot clock running out, he from thirty eight feet 198 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: just goes in and you're like, it is just their night. 199 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: And it felt that way last night for Northwestern. And 200 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: if not for CJ. Cox, which is interesting because here 201 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: is a guy that was not, you know, a primary, 202 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: big time targeted player, but in the typical Purdue mold 203 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: has grown into this really good player. But he hit 204 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: huge shots for the huge shots for them all night. 205 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: And if not for him, he bailed them out last 206 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: night against Northwestern. And I'll be honest, it is my job. 207 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: Perhaps it is the expectation, perhaps when you tune into 208 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: this radio show to say, I want to know what's 209 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: going on with Purdue. I'm going to turn on my 210 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: favorite radio program because those guys will have the answer. 211 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: And I truly believe when I tell you this, I 212 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: don't know that anybody has that answer. Last night, they 213 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: did guard the three pretty closely, and sometimes you just 214 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: tip your cap and say, guys made shots and Prdue 215 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: got bailed out in the end because someone other than 216 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: their typical, you know, heroic status, other than Smith, other 217 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: than Trey Kaufman Wrenn, was able to make plays for 218 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: them down the stretch. I was talking in the hallway 219 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: before coming on today about this and the point was 220 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: raised to me, and I think it's a good observation. 221 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: Braiden Smith just he seems like a different player than 222 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: he was a year ago. A year ago, Braden Smith 223 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: was almost like a yoyo on a string. Because what 224 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: I noticed this last night there, Braiden Smith has been 225 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: so good over the course of his career for Purdue 226 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: when defense has come towards him, or when you know 227 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: he had a remarkable escapability from either a trap or 228 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: bouncing away and then skipping the ball over to where 229 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: it needs to go. And he always seemingly had these 230 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: like eyes in the back of his head where he 231 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: was this yo yo that could get into the lane 232 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: and then quickly bounce right back out of it if 233 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: he saw that there was going to be an opening 234 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: to get it out in the wing or whatever it 235 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: may be, or reset. And the non predictability of where 236 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: he's going next seemingly is now at like eighty percent 237 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: that level of bounce. And I don't know if that's injury. 238 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's apathy. I don't know what 239 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: it is. But he is still a very good passer 240 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: and a very good player. But he very clearly maybe 241 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: defenses have simply figured him out. That is also possible 242 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: there's a ton of tape on him. But either way, 243 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: the cohesiveness and the efficiency with which we have become 244 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: used to seeing the offense run has it has As 245 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: you're watching the water flow through the parking lot, it 246 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: keeps running into different pebbles you didn't expect. It just 247 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: feels that way. They got a win that they needed, 248 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: and that's good for Purdue because and I thought Dave 249 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: Revson said this really well regarding Indiana and Minnesota after 250 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: the Indiana Minnesota game where Indiana blue Minnesota out of 251 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Assembly Hall and again talking about you know a player 252 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: that is not the first or second that you would 253 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: look at and look towards as your mainstream player. Sam 254 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: Alexis last night was brilliant for Indiana. He was very effective. 255 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: I think he was nine of ten from the floor. 256 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: He led them in scoring. He had a really good game. 257 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: And that's what Indiana's needed, and they have lacked size 258 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: inside and for Alexis to be able to get it 259 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: going was exactly what the doctor ordered for Indiana. But 260 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: in that thirty point game, that thirty win over Minnesota, 261 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: who is having a terrible year, new coach. I get 262 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: all those things, but Minnesota is not a good team. 263 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: And I thought Dave Revson said it best afterwards with 264 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: Bruce Weber when he said, look, this is a game 265 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: for Indiana that beating Minnesota does not push them over 266 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: the hump to get them in the NCAA tournament. They 267 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: are still on the bubble. They stay on the bubble. 268 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: But losing that game would have absolutely burst the bubble instantly, 269 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: and that is not what happened, They get what, they 270 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: do what they need to do, and they extend their 271 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: stay on the bubble for another week. And then it 272 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: comes down to a really big one at Ohio State, 273 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: and maybe both those teams get in. Maybe, but certainly 274 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: whoever wins that game is going to have an upper 275 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: hand and kind of the late season, late in your 276 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: mind tiebreaker if it comes down to those two for 277 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: one spot on selection Sunday. And the same is true 278 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: for Purdue with that game of Northwestern. Obviously not a 279 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: bubble team and obviously in Northwestern's case, not a bubble 280 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: team they're contending against. But if Purdue, Purdue escaping that 281 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: game last night in Evanston doesn't do really much for 282 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: their NCAA Tournament profile, but losing that game would have 283 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: gone a long way, perhaps towards sliding them yet again 284 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: from as they still seem to be hanging around that 285 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: three seed line, and they got a ton of stuff 286 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: on their record for the three seed, but as they 287 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: hang around the three seed line and then try to 288 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: avoid falling into the four seed, and they managed to 289 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: avoid that last night. All of that happening, of course, 290 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: and then the Pacers late we'll get into that with 291 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: Benedict mather and Eddie. You were listening obviously to the 292 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: game and watching it last night as you were working it. 293 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Benedict Matherin and what he was able 294 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: to do for the Clippers. 295 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 3: I thought that was a game last night for Bennick 296 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: Matheren like you were watching it like, yeah, we knew 297 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 3: that was ya, and we wish that that would have 298 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: been something you did more consistently. I thought he played 299 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: with great force, as Rick Carlisle likes to put it. 300 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 3: He was very aggressive as always offensively, and he did 301 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 3: a really good job of getting other guys involved as 302 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 3: a facilitator last night. And he's a very very capable 303 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: and willing rebounder. I think he had seven or eight 304 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 3: boards last night in the win for the Clippers. But 305 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 3: it was funny towards the end of the game, you know, 306 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: they were almost up thirty talking about the LA Clippers 307 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: and Kobe Sanders. You know it was ty Ty Washington 308 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: checks into the game and he's looking over at Tylo 309 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 3: and he's like, Hey. 310 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: Who am I coming in for again? 311 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: Coach? 312 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: Can you tell me? 313 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: And so then he you know, they show it on 314 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 3: TV and he points in the direction of Matherin. Ben 315 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: was all mad that he had to come off the 316 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 3: floor because you know, he wanted to keep going and 317 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: keep competing and keep sticking it to the team that 318 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 3: just traded him. And so then he goes to the 319 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 3: bench for like a minute, and Kobe Sanders fouls out 320 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: for the Clippers, and guess who comes back and Ben 321 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 3: at Nickmatherin for like two more minutes. 322 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: He hits a three. 323 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 3: He had a dunk in the fourth quarter, and after 324 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 3: he dunked it, he went right to Pascal. See how 325 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 3: coming got into his face a little bit. I thought 326 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 3: it was just peakmin and it Matherin last night he 327 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 3: was really good. And obviously Indiana is just not in 328 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: the spot right now where they're appearing that they're trying 329 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 3: to compete. 330 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: Right understood. One thing of note last night, if there's 331 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: something of note beyond Ben Matheren for the Pacers, is 332 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: the fact that Cam Jones did not play. I believe 333 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: he was the only player to not get off the bench. 334 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: And the reality is this, Tony East the first that 335 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: I saw that pointed out this fact. Cam Jones' contract 336 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: is such that he has to appear in seventeen of 337 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: the final twenty games of the season for the Pacers 338 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: or else, or if he does, let's just simply say 339 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: that if he appears in seventeen of the final twenty games, 340 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: if he checks into the game, if he's in the 341 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: box score, that allows his contract for next season to 342 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: become guaranteed. So is there some thought there on keeping 343 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: him out of games to give the Pacers financial flexibility 344 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: moving forward? One of the things to keep an eye on. 345 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: I think he's on a two way contract. 346 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 3: So those guys that are on two ways anyway, Jake, 347 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 3: and this is why there were games in which Quintin 348 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 3: Jackson wasn't playing. There's hurdles that you have to maneuver 349 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 3: throughout throughout the course of the season. Same with Taylor 350 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 3: Peter is if you're on a two way deal, you'll 351 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: get a certain amount of games that you can play in. 352 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 3: And so I wonder if that's what the Pacers are 353 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: doing right now. With Cam Jones, the big. 354 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: Story that happened last night that is probably more of 355 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: a national story than a local one. But it's certainly 356 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: excuse me, merits discussion and reflection. Lou Holtz, who may 357 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: be of the last forty years, certainly in the state 358 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: of Indiana, between football and basketball, as legendary a coach 359 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: as you can find. And I know what Lou Holtz 360 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: means to the people of Notre Dame, to the fans 361 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: of Notre Dame, to the alumni of Notre Dame, and 362 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: let me tell you what I've been able to determine 363 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: he means to the players of Notre Dame. Lou Holtz's legacy, 364 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: truth be told, is a complicated one because each step 365 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: along the way that he went, whether it be Arkansas, Minnesota, 366 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, they were not void of controversy, particularly upon 367 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: his departure. But obviously, when reflecting on one's life, you 368 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: overlook those things, not overlook, but it's not necessarily prudent 369 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: to dwell on them. And in the case of Lou Holtz, 370 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's pertinent to dwell on them, because 371 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: that's not what made him a legendary football coach. Where 372 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: they're recruiting violations or indiscretions, maybe even many of which 373 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: would be conc that are totally legal today. Yeah, sure. 374 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: And I didn't know Lou Holtz well I met him, 375 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: I interviewed him I've had conversation with him. But I 376 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: think oftentimes when we think about, or reflect upon, or 377 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: are trying to pay the proper tribute to someone that 378 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: we didn't know well, but we knew people who did, 379 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: we lean on their expertise, on their experience. And last night, 380 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: when I heard the news that Lou Holtz had passed 381 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: away yesterday early evening, the first person that I reached 382 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: out to was my former schoolmate, not classmate, he was 383 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: a year below me, but I've known him for most 384 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: of my life. Derek Mays, who was a prolific wide 385 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: receiver at Notre Dame who worked for the Lou Holtz 386 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: Foundation to this day, lives on the West Coast. Derek's son, 387 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: Hudson Hoddy Is. He calls him a college basketball player 388 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: and the grandson of Roger Brown, the former Pacer great 389 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: because Derek is married to Gail Brown, Roger Brown's daughter, 390 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: so Derek is still very involved in sport on the 391 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: West Coast. Yet he has always been very attached to 392 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: and close to Lou Holtz, and so I thought Derek 393 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: would be a really good ambassador to speak to what 394 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: lou Holtz meant and what lou Holtz was as a coach, 395 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: as a mentor, and as a father, a father figure, 396 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 1: I should say because Derek has a great father. I mean, 397 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: I know Derek's dad as well. And Derek wrote me 398 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: back and just said, I don't know if I can 399 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know if I can come on. 400 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: And I think that speaks volumes. I think saying Jake, 401 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't know right now that I'm prepared to speak 402 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: on the passing of my coach actually may say more 403 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: than what you could say in words. And I think 404 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: Lew Holtz as an elite Hall of Fame level, iconic 405 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: and legendary college football coach. I think his legacy might 406 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: be defined in what happened when he was in the NFL, 407 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: because if you look at his career, you know he 408 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: went through the ranks as assistant coach at a number 409 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: of different places, William and Mary, Connecticut, South Carolina, Ohio State, 410 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: and then he gets his opportunity back at William and 411 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: Mary and he has success, and that parlays into an 412 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to go to North Carolina State and a good program, 413 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: North Carolina State. But at North Carolina State he takes 414 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: over in forty some games, wins thirty three of them 415 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: and is obviously very good. Taken William and Mary to 416 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: a bowl game, that's you know, that's what happens, right, 417 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: You go to a mid level bowl game for a 418 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: program like William and Mary in particular, and then you 419 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: go in and you parlay that into North Carolina State. 420 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: So he has success at North Carolina State, wins the 421 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: ACC and then gets his opportunity in the NFL with 422 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: the New York Jets and Lou Holtz as the head 423 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: coach of the New York Jets. And that was not 424 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: an easy gig, right because you're taking over an aging 425 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: team in the Jets, and you know you're going into 426 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: a place anyway that is Yes, they seven years prior 427 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: had won the Super Bowl with Joe Namath, but Namath's 428 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: knees are giving out and he did not have success. 429 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: Matter of fact, he was a failure with the New 430 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: York Jets. And he came up with a catchy, cheesy 431 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: song about the Jets and did everything he could, but 432 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: it was a total failure. And I believe that Lou 433 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: Holtz in his time I'm with the New York Jets, 434 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: that defines the coaching greatness. Not because he failed. All 435 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: of us fail. Anything that you try to do in 436 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: life oftentimes is built upon learning from your failures. And 437 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: lou Holtz had failure, and so instead of sulking about that, 438 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: instead of pointing fingers, he was able to realize and 439 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: recognize that it didn't work out. And thus he left, 440 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: and he goes to Arkansas, and that Arkansas has great success, 441 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: and then puts, you know, while he was at Arkansas, 442 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: starts putting in his mind the dream and the vision 443 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: of where he ultimately wants to be. He goes to Minnesota. 444 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: There was indiscretion in Arkansas. At the end. He goes 445 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: to Minnesota, has success in Minnesota, and then he puts 446 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: in the Notre Dame clause that essentially allows him the 447 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: out if Notre Dame ever becomes a possibility. And when 448 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: Lou Holtz finally got the opportunity at Notre Dame, he 449 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: took advantage of it and had as great a run 450 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: of success as anybody has had there not named Newt Rockney, 451 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: and he stopped. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, a 452 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: win shy or very close to surpassing Newt Rockney as 453 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: the all time winning as coach I'd have to look 454 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: at the exact numbers, but a national championship still the 455 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: last in the history of the Irish and did so 456 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: by keeping Notre Dame in total where it should be, 457 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: at the very top of relevance, of importance, and of victories. 458 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: A phenomenal football coach, but a phenomenal football coach who 459 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: had turned things around and ascended to the very elite 460 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: level top of college football, which is almost the equivalent 461 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: when you're talking about Notre Dame of that of the 462 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: NFL and doing it on the heels of failing with 463 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, and able to look players in 464 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: the eye and say you're going to have failure, but 465 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: if you follow my lead, the proof is in the 466 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: putting that failure can turn into championships. And that to me, 467 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: along with his conviction and standing by the principles and 468 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 1: moralities of the Catholic faith and Notre Dame, are the 469 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: things that define who Louholtz was as a coach, and 470 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: the fact that he left such an endearing and personal 471 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: impact on his players that it is difficult for his 472 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: players to discuss it upon his passing in the immediacy 473 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: of it, which I understand and respect. But Jeff Burris 474 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: did play for him, did become an All American for 475 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: him before becoming a cult. Will join us in the 476 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: two o'clock hour Big show lined up today. There's a 477 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: new commissioner for the Horizon League. She actually spent time 478 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. She'll join us at two o'clock. Davey 479 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: Hamilton to preview IndyCar and Phoenix coming up at one 480 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: point thirty. But on the other side, I was asked 481 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: a question last night by somebody that just walked up 482 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: and asked me something, And I said, ain't that the 483 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: burning question hovering over Indianapolis right now? We'll get to 484 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: it next. You know, this is fitting you'd play this, Eddie, 485 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: because I've never been called Maurice. I've never been called 486 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: a space cowboy. But just so you know, Gangster Love 487 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: been known that for years. This song fabulous when it 488 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: was covered by the Ghetto Boys. By the way, just 489 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: so you know, which of those would you most likely be? 490 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: The Space Cowboy, the Gangster Love Maurice? Which one are 491 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: you are? You're a picker, You're a gritter? What are you? 492 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 3: I think I got to be the Space Cowboy, right Okay, 493 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 3: fair enough, what about the joker? 494 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 2: No, that's only reserved for one person. 495 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 4: Fair enough. 496 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: Now, I will tell you this. Could the joke be 497 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: on the Colts? Or are we cool here with this? 498 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: Because last night here's the question that was asked of me. 499 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, Brian Nuburt. In about ten minutes, 500 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: we're going to try to decipher what's going on with Purdue. 501 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: But last night I was at the gym. I mean, 502 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this or not, Eddie, 503 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: but you know this kind of zeke, it does require 504 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: some work, right, Okay, Well I'm serious. I mean I 505 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: will say that I'm not as sore afterwards, thank you 506 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: Game Day Men's Health. But nonetheless, yesterday I was at 507 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: the gym and a guy comes up to me and 508 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: just you know, you do the the subliminal thing of 509 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: like take out your headset so I can say something 510 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: to you. And I go okay, and I take up 511 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: my headsets and he says, they're gonna screw this whole 512 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: thing up, aren't they. They're gonna screw this whole thing 513 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: up and end up with neither one of them. And 514 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: I knew instantly what he was talking about. I knew 515 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: instantly what he was talking about. I didn't think, to myself, Okay, 516 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: he's talking about the Pacers, and the Pacers are gonna 517 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: screw this up and get hot and win games and 518 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: fall out of the top four in terms of draft picks. 519 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: That's not what he meant. He wasn't talking about the 520 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: fact of wouldn't it be fitting and wouldn't it be 521 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: typical if the Pacers end up with a top two 522 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: pick and aj debon of BYU, who I absolutely think 523 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: would be spectacular. Here follows through on what he dropped 524 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: yesterday as a subtle hint, meaning that he's going to 525 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: stay in college and we're going to get into that 526 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: over the course of today, because that sounds absurd, but 527 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: yet it's not when you consider nil. What he meant, 528 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: of course, was are the Colts going to sit there 529 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: and as I always say, they're going to be wait 530 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: to be reactive instead of being proactive, and they're gonna 531 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: let New England or Chicago or Arizona or whoever comes 532 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: sweeping in and blow away Alec Pierce with an unbelievable offer, 533 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: and they're going to lose Alec Pierce. And if that 534 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: happens then does Daniel Jones say, you know what, instead 535 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: of just being designed to the fact that I'll go 536 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: ahead and sign with the Indianapolis and give whatever offer 537 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: they get, does Daniel Jones say, I'm going to tell 538 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: my agent to aggressively shot me and try to find 539 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: a deal somewhere the Indianapolis will not match. I do 540 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: think that Daniel Jones likes playing here. I think that 541 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce likes playing here. But it's in the best 542 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: financial interest of both to go ahead at this point 543 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: and see what's out there. And theoretically the Colts missed 544 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: their window to lock that down before. I understand if 545 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. What if it got to the point 546 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: where it's like, look, we've got to go all in 547 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: on one of these two, and it may come at 548 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: the cost of the other. I get it. And it's 549 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: also a little bit of chicken and egg because Alec 550 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: Pierce it was apparently pretty abundantly clear that hey, if 551 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones goes a long way and whether or not 552 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: I want to be here, and so because of that, 553 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, you're sitting there and you're saying, okay, So 554 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: that means that if we get Daniel Jones locked in. 555 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: Pierce is proud of it, probably pretty much in you in, 556 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: You're good, all right, let's go. And I think they 557 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: The one thing where I think the key domino, the 558 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: key block, and the Janga pyramid here is this. I 559 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: think the combination of the early success with the injury 560 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: led the Colts to believe that retaining and getting Daniel 561 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: Jones locked in was going to be a quicker and 562 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: more immediate process than it truly was. And I think 563 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: part of that is because, as I've mentioned that Seattle 564 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: opened the door for the blueprint on the fact that 565 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: a Daniel Jones can win elsewhere, and other teams, even 566 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: though there is that Achilles look at it and say 567 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: that's a guy that we can win with. And Daniel 568 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: Jones realized that other teams may feel that way, so 569 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: it was in his best interest to see other people. 570 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: And so it just became a slippery slope where you 571 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: kind of didn't know which way to turn. You didn't 572 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: know which tributary in the river you were supposed to damn, 573 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: because it might spring and start flowing in a different direction. 574 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: Last night Purdue struggled. They did get a win in Evanston, 575 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: but something just seems off. Few would be better to 576 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: help us determine what that might be than Brian Nubert, 577 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: and that's why we asked him to join us. Next, 578 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: pretty popular TikTok video that goes around of different people 579 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: trying to sing this song, we should get Brian Nubert. 580 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: He's one of the that would make five non blondes 581 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: to join in with his thought on singing it, because 582 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: that's the big question about Purdue of what's going on? 583 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: And I guess Brian Nubert who joins us now By 584 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: the way, on the Java House Colebrew Coffee Guest Line, 585 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: a regular and welcome the guest to the program from 586 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: Golden Black Brian. Reality is it's a sign of how 587 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: good a team is when they win games and you 588 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: still wonder what it is that's going wrong with them. 589 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: But struggled last night in Evanston against Northwestern. Sometimes teams 590 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: get plucky and you say, hey, you know what, kudos 591 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: to the opponent. Or was this another example of Purdue 592 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: for some reason just not clicking on all cylinders? 593 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 4: How did I go from starship to four non blonde? 594 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 5: Jake? 595 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 4: I thought we had a thing. 596 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: You know what, you're right. You're actually right. That's that's 597 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: on Eddie, though Eddie came up with what's going on, 598 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: so you got to blame Eddie on that one. 599 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 4: Come on, Eddie getting the game. So yeah, Purdue. I'm 600 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 4: a big believer that there's no such thing as a 601 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 4: bad road win in the Big Ten. But I think 602 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 4: that you know, Perdue turned the ball over too much 603 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 4: in the first half. I think Northwestern made some really 604 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 4: tough shots. I think Nick Martinelli was a tough matchup 605 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 4: for Purdue, as he is for a lot of people. 606 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 4: And I think that you know, Perdue didn't play its 607 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 4: best game, turned the ball over too much, and for 608 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 4: them to give up that bizarre three pointer with a 609 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 4: minute to go that put Northwestern back ahead and immediately 610 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 4: respond to it, I thought made this game more of 611 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 4: a positive than the alternative. I think where Purdue was 612 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 4: in terms of having lost six of its last eleven 613 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 4: or whatever the tally actually was, I think they just 614 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 4: needed anyway they could get it, and you know, to 615 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 4: go on the road and not play their best game 616 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 4: and beat somebody else on their senior day after they'd 617 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 4: won three games in a row. Northwestern's not a great team. Obviously, 618 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 4: but they'd won three games in a row at least, 619 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 4: including that pretty impressive win at IU where they rallied 620 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 4: in the last couple of minutes to take that one. 621 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 4: I thought it was more of a positive for Purdue 622 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 4: than it was a sign of ongoing troubles. But Purdue 623 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 4: needed at that. 624 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: And it's funny, Brian, because it was one of those 625 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: games where unfortunately at this point, I don't know that 626 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, it was more about avoiding a really bad loss, 627 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: right than it was getting that win, even though to 628 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: your point, you know, when you got to find ways, 629 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: good teams find ways, And I thought last night CJ. 630 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 1: Cox was brilliant for them and on numerous possessions, especially 631 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: late in possessions, hit big shots for them, and that's 632 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 1: not the first time that he has done that. Is 633 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: this a guy finding more confidence or is this a 634 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: team that is realizing the value they have in Cox 635 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: in doing more to facilitate getting him those looks? 636 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think pretty I think pretty read the room 637 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 4: pretty well. They were Northwestern was selling out to get 638 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 4: a guy in the lane to stop Trey Koff Moran 639 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 4: and taking roll, and they were leaving CJ. Cox in 640 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 4: the corner. That's why he was standing out the whole 641 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 4: game doing jumping jacks in the corner. And to CJ. 642 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 4: Cox's credit, he made the shots. That was the calculation 643 00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 4: Northwestern made that they would rather take their chance. This 644 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 4: was CJ. Cox making threes from the corner versus Trey 645 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 4: coffin ran getting in that short roll stuff and posting 646 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,399 Speaker 4: up and driving from the high posts and things like that. 647 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 4: And the CJ. Cox's credit, he burned it and to 648 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 4: produce credit, they made the simple place to get the 649 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 4: ball where it needed to be. And and I can't 650 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 4: say enough about what CJ. Cox did. This is a 651 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 4: guy who in high school had the ball in his 652 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 4: hands all the time, I think, and has really really 653 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,240 Speaker 4: become a good catch and shoot guy in those corners 654 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 4: and the corner three is really important to what Purdue 655 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 4: does defensively against certain types of help. And yes, CJ. 656 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 4: Cox has all the confidence in the world right now. 657 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: And he should, you know the Brian last night and 658 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: watching the game on the Big ten network. One of 659 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: the things I noticed, and you see this a lot, 660 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the great things about Chicago is 661 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: it is the melting pot of Big ten fan base. 662 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: Is just based on the number of alum that live. 663 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: Of course, it's you know, within two hour drive of Purdue, 664 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Purdue fans. It sounded like 665 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: in Evanstone, which made me think that is it possible? 666 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: This song is fitting when it comes to Purdue in 667 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: Chicago right here. They built this city right see? Is 668 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: that better? Brian? 669 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 4: There you go, this is I feel home now. I'm 670 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 4: officially a guest on your show. 671 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: That's right. We bring the starship in because this song. 672 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 1: Nothing bangs like this song. We know that much. If 673 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: you look at the NCAA tournament, Brian, and let's just 674 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: assume for the sake of discussion that Purdue I think 675 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: they go no lower than a four seed. They probably 676 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: are in that three line right now. Maybe with a 677 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: Big ten tournament championship they move in back into a 678 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: two seed somewhere in there. But the team that they 679 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: would face in the first or second round of the 680 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,280 Speaker 1: NCAA tournament that would be their kryptonite is the team 681 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: that does what. 682 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 4: Stretched bigs can be problematic. So if it's somebody who's 683 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 4: got a big guy who can drag on the perimeter 684 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 4: and drive against size, shoot threes, things like that. A 685 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 4: rank mass type of guy from Nebraska. That's one of 686 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 4: Purdue's difficult matchups. Elite quickness is probably something that you 687 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 4: know Purdue has to would have to be really good 688 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 4: defensively to overcome. But I think it's more about Purdue, 689 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 4: to be honest with you, than it really is matchups. 690 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 4: I think when Purdue is, you know, on the same 691 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 4: page defensively, which I still don't really understand why that 692 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 4: hasn't been a consistent reality for Purdue this season, when 693 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 4: they're on the same page defensively, when they're detail oriented, 694 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 4: when they're playing with energy, things like that, I think 695 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 4: they're pretty good and I think they can beat anybody. 696 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 4: Maybe not anybody right now, but I think they could 697 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 4: beat a lot of the teams they've lost to this year. 698 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 4: So I think it's more about Purdue than anybody. Obviously, 699 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 4: when you get the ANSABA tournament, matchups really matter. When 700 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 4: you don't have the inherent advantage of being a one 701 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 4: seed or a two seed, matchups matter even more. But 702 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 4: I think that really dominant rebound teams rebounding teams too, 703 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 4: can give them problems against certain lineups. Ford Who's gonna 704 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 4: roll out there I think that a lot depends on 705 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 4: Oscar Cluff, you know, as much as we sit here 706 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 4: and talk about Braden Smith and traycoff Ran and Fletcher Lawyer. 707 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 4: For good reason, I think Purdue is a much better 708 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 4: team when Oscar Cluff is fresh and energized playing center. 709 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 4: There's been this theme around him that he's not been 710 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 4: able to play really more than twenty or so minutes 711 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 4: a game, and they got thirty out of him yesterday, 712 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 4: and I thought he was pretty good defensively. He rebounded 713 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 4: like he did earlier in the season at some points 714 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,479 Speaker 4: around the rim and things like that. So what version 715 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 4: of oscar Cluff perdue gets an answablely tournament's going to 716 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 4: have a pretty important influence in how forty fares as well. 717 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: I think are there defensive looks that Braden Smith has 718 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: not seen or struggles with? Are teams guarding him differently? 719 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,720 Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything anyone can do that Braiden 720 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 4: Smith hasn't seen at this point in his career. What 721 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 4: you saw yesterday was Northwestern just trapping the ball out 722 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 4: his hands for the most part, hedging him high, locking 723 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 4: onto him, keeping two guys on him, forcing the ball 724 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 4: out of his hands, and to his credit, you know, 725 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 4: this is a guy chasing an NCAA all the time 726 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 4: assist record. To his credit, he made simple plays. I 727 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 4: know he had four turnovers. I know he didn't score 728 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 4: a whole lot, but that's he did what Purdue needed 729 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 4: him to do to win and get the ball of 730 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 4: his hands, let his teammates play four on three and 731 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 4: that's how CJ. Hodgson's up shooting wide open three pointers 732 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 4: in the corner most of the day. So I think 733 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 4: you give Braden Smith credit last night for just doing 734 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 4: what Purdue needed him to do to win that game. 735 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 4: And I think that's not an easy thing to do 736 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 4: when you're as great a player as Braden Smith is, 737 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 4: is to kind of set your personal playmaking abilities aside 738 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 4: and let everybody else do the work. But that's what 739 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 4: Northwestern chose to make him do, and obviously it wasn't 740 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,240 Speaker 4: quite good enough for them. 741 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: Brian Nubert the guest of course from Goldenblack dot com. 742 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: He is on the Java House Coldbrew Coffee guest line, 743 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: and would are you already back from Chicago? Brian? Are 744 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: you on the road as we speak? And if so, 745 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 1: I hope you're going hands free. 746 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 4: I am going hands free, and I am on that joyous 747 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 4: corridor on I ninety four going past Chicago State where 748 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 4: everything bottles, Everything bottlenecks right before you get to fifty five, 749 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 4: and traffic always backs up. So I'm going forty five 750 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 4: miles an hour. 751 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed this, Brian, but a 752 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: wonderful thing happens around this time of year, right at 753 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: the time I always tell people when it comes time 754 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: to change your clock for daylight savings, which we'll do 755 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: this weekend, that's the perfect time to check the batteries 756 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: in your smoke detector. Right in the Chicago Land area, 757 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: that's the time of year where they transition all the 758 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: billboards from Brian urlock or hair loss to fireworks. So 759 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: have they done that the changeover happened yet. 760 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 4: I haven't noticed. There's a lot of fog. I'm not 761 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 4: really looking at the I'm not really looking at the billboards, 762 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 4: I gotta say, but I'm just happy that anytime you 763 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 4: make a road trip this time of the year during 764 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 4: the Big Ten basketball season and there's no ice on 765 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 4: the highways, correct, it's a win. I've had good luck 766 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 4: so far this Big Ten season. And I guess I 767 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 4: got through it because this was the last Big Ten 768 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 4: road trip other than the Big Ten Tournament. So we 769 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 4: will hope that there's no blizzard or something next week 770 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 4: when I drive back up to Chicago. 771 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 1: All Right, Brian, we appreciate it and travel safe. 772 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 4: All right, anytime, Jake. 773 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 1: All Right. Brian Nuber joining us on the program, speaking 774 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: of the Big Ten Tournament, Speaking of the NCAA tournament. 775 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 1: There is a debate and discussion that has been rampant, 776 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: and I just had a brain dropping that I think 777 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: is the perfect solution, and I wonder why these people 778 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: don't call me. I'll tell you about it next. And 779 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: Davey Hamilton in about thirty before we get into the 780 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: college basketball A couple of different points of interest there, Eddie, 781 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: do you happen to have the breaking news sounder? This 782 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: just in earlier and the results just came in at 783 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: Hinkelfield House, fresh off the press, Fresh off the press. Now, 784 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,240 Speaker 1: this is the State Farm Slam dunk and three point 785 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: competition that involved influencer and media. So I guess people 786 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: in the media were not influencers. We don't influence anybody, 787 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,879 Speaker 1: but there are influencers as well. But in the all 788 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: category three point shootout amongst influencers and media folk. Now, 789 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: keep in mind, the only reason that I didn't win 790 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: this is because, I mean, it's State Farm, and believe 791 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: you me, when your name is Jake, you get mentioned 792 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 1: with State Farm everywhere you go. Right, I didn't win 793 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: it because they conveniently managed to do this during the 794 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: middle of this program. But congratulations to JMV who is 795 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: the three point shootout champion. 796 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 6: There you go. 797 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: That's impressive. 798 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 2: By the way, keep in mind, it was in the 799 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 2: rest of the field. 800 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: What's that? 801 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 2: Do we know who was in the rest of the field. 802 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 1: Derek Schultz? 803 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 4: Oh? 804 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 2: Really, I don't know. 805 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 3: I didn't know if he could get the ball out 806 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 3: that high. 807 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: Derek. Actually, it's not a three point contest. It's a 808 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: point and a half when Derek is doing it. Okay. So, this, 809 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: of course is all a precursor to Friday, April third, 810 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: at seven o'clock at Hincklefield House, where you will have 811 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: the College Slam dug at three point competition, all taking 812 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: place as part of Final Four weekend. Now with the 813 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: Final Four and the NCAA tournament and the NCAA Selection 814 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 1: committee is based right here in our fair city of Indianapolis, Indiana. 815 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 3: So you'll pay attention quickly here. If you could dunk 816 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,959 Speaker 3: one time in your life, what kind of dunk would 817 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 3: you want to do? Would you want to dunk on 818 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 3: somebody or is there like a three sixty windmill type 819 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:11,879 Speaker 3: of dunk you would want? 820 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,439 Speaker 1: Well, I have accomplished. I have dunked, but it's been 821 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: many many moons ago, obviously, right. 822 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 2: I'm talking to you about on a regulation goal. 823 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, not a kid, buddy. But if I had to 824 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: dunk with a style as opposed to just going up 825 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: and thrown it through, I would do a solo the 826 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:36,360 Speaker 1: Jordan from the side, like the pump dunk, you know 827 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,399 Speaker 1: what I mean, where he goes down and then it's 828 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 1: hard to explain. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. I mean, 829 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: it's that dunk contest Jordan from the side is what 830 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 1: I would do. I mean, obviously, the from the free 831 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 1: throw line. You know, Julius Irving was the first to 832 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 1: do the from the free throw line in a dunk 833 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: contest dunk. But then when Jordan did it in eighty 834 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 1: eight at the NBA all started weekend and he did 835 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: the leg kickout. I mean that's incredible. Just the hang 836 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: time that was necessary for that was truly remarkable, especially 837 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: for that period. Now, having said all of that, Eddie, 838 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: unpopular opinion, unpopular opinion, it is time to old yell 839 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: er the dunk contest. 840 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,439 Speaker 2: WHOA why would you use old yeller? That's that makes 841 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 2: me sad. 842 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 1: Now, I know, but I'm saying, like you know, it's 843 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,240 Speaker 1: it would be said to take the slam dunk contest 844 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: and just go ahead and have to put it down. 845 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we loved the dunk contest. It was great, 846 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: but it just I truly do think that we have 847 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 1: reached the point where there's just not a dunk that 848 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: hasn't been done before. And that's the challenge with all 849 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 1: of it. But here is my NCAA tournament epiphany. Yeah, 850 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: right now, there is a lot of discussion, a lot 851 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: of debate. To me, it's silly. I don't think there's 852 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: any debate about it whatsoever. But there is debate about 853 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: whether or not Miami of Ohio or as they say 854 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 1: there Miami deserves to be an at large or an 855 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: automatic I should say, well and at large, whether or 856 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: not they deserve to be an at large and the 857 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament. They are thirty and zhero they're unbeaten. Now, 858 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: granted I looked at it, and they play in the 859 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 1: MAC and their pre MAC schedule I looked at it Lincoln, Guyan, Eastwood, Fulton, 860 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: South Wayne, Stonybrook, Craig, and Northview. That was their pre 861 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: MAC schedule. They are three hundred and fifteenth. In three 862 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteenth, I believe is their Ken Palm or 863 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: their computer ranking or whatever else when you factor in 864 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 1: strength of schedule. But even with that, they're in a 865 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 1: major conference. It's a non Power five, I get it. 866 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 1: But it is a conference that the NCAA Tournament has 867 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: deemed worthy of automatic admission of the conference tournament champion. 868 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: If the conference is strong enough that they are one 869 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 1: that is included of having their tournament champion in your tournament, 870 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: then I believe it merits to be lumped into this category. Now, Eddie, 871 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a Jake Query presentation and 872 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 1: then I want you to grade me A to F 873 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: on how sound or logical you believe my conclusion to be. 874 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: Are you ready? I'm ready. As it stands right now, 875 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: in the NCAA Tournament, you have thirty two. I believe 876 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: it is. Of the teams, it's either thirty two that 877 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: are automatic and thirty six that are at large or 878 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: vice versa. I can't remember. But there is only one way, Eddie, 879 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm putting you on the trivia chair here. There is 880 00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 1: only one way to receive an automatic bid for the tournament, 881 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 1: and that way is. 882 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 2: That is winning your conference tournament. 883 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 1: Correct. If you win your conference tournament, you are automatically 884 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: in the NCAA Tournament. 885 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,760 Speaker 3: For those teams and conferences that do have conference tournaments, yeah, correct. 886 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: Now here is for all of this debate about Miami, 887 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: and to me, it's a no brainer. They absolutely deserve 888 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: to be in. They deserve to be in for the 889 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: mere fact that I always say I always favor the 890 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 1: mid major because the NCAA Tournament and what makes it great. 891 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,240 Speaker 1: And yes, in the end, you want chalk in terms 892 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 1: of your final four, because that's what sells. The brands sell, 893 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 1: the blue bloods sell. The reality, without question is the 894 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 1: fact that when you get to the final four, a 895 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:56,440 Speaker 1: final four with Duke Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan is going 896 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 1: to do better ratings than a final four with Miami 897 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: of Ohio, Mississippi State. I'll throw Syracuse in for the 898 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: sake of giving a blue blood or somewhat of a 899 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, a light blue blood in there. You know 900 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,760 Speaker 1: in North Carolina State, the bigger brands and the bigger names, 901 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 1: historically speaking, do draw more numbers late in the tournament. 902 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 1: But what draws numbers early in the tournament the first 903 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 1: two days of the NCAA tournament where it looks like 904 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: this outside and it's four o'clock in the afternoon, and 905 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: you leave work an hour early because you can't wait 906 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: to go and watch all the games, and you know, 907 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: eat a Chicago's pizza and have yourself a cold beer, 908 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: whatever it might be, get together with your buddies, get 909 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 1: together with the kids. You got a tournament, draw whatever. 910 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: What's the first thing people say? All right, who are 911 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 1: the upsets? Who is the shaker? Who is Saint Peter's right? 912 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: What makes the NCAA tournament what it is and what 913 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: makes it so special is the introduction of schools that 914 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 1: other you didn't necessarily pay a lot of attention to. 915 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,239 Speaker 1: People still talk about Wally Zerbiaks run with Miami, or 916 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 1: schools that you've only heard of because of the NCAA 917 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: Tournament comp and State Towson State. You know George Mauth Alabama, 918 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: George Mason. There's a million of them right. That's the 919 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: beauty of the tournament. But here is the easy solution. 920 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: You change your criteria to this. There are two ways 921 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: now in Jake Querry's world, and then I want you 922 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: to grade this proposal, Eddie. 923 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:35,240 Speaker 2: Okay. 924 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 1: There are two ways to get an autobid to the 925 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:44,720 Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament laid on me. Win your conference tournament, okay, 926 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: or finish your regular season unbeaten. If you finish your 927 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 1: regular season unbeaten and you are a team that plays 928 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 1: in a conference that has a conference tournament and you 929 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 1: are undefeated, that means that you are playing and you 930 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: have gone unblemished within your conference. Last night, Produce struggled 931 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: at Northwestern. Why because Northwestern's in the same conference. They 932 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 1: know Produce tendencies, they know the tape, they've seen them, 933 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,799 Speaker 1: they play them. Their senior group last night became the 934 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: first to know were they ran the risk of going 935 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: over in their career in Welsh Ryan Arena. Because it's 936 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: tough to play in your conference, it's tough to play familiarity, 937 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,399 Speaker 1: it's tough to win games year in and year out, 938 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: no matter how down you might be, against programs that 939 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: know exactly who and what you are. And so even 940 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 1: if you didn't play a stout pre conference schedule, you 941 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,320 Speaker 1: still just won eighteen to twenty straight games over teams 942 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,560 Speaker 1: that know everything about what you want to do. And 943 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: that is tough. And once you get into the twenties, 944 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 1: the mental aspect of the pressure of knowing that all 945 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: of the national talk shows are trying to credit your 946 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: accomplishment and talk down about you and find demerit and 947 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: holes within what it is that you've been able to 948 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: compile on your resume. You factor in all of those 949 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: things and you still answer the bell every single time. 950 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: That merits a reward, and it is very rare. It's 951 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: not like you're you're you're creating a clause within the 952 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 1: criteria that is every single year you're having that, you're 953 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 1: you're adding three and four different teams and whatever else. 954 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 1: How many teams are I mean literally very typically it's 955 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: a program that's within a conference that they're a number 956 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 1: one seat anyway, So it's not even a discussion, but 957 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: of mid majors to go undefeated, what do you have 958 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: you got Wichita State a couple of years ago. 959 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 2: I've got the numbers. 960 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,839 Speaker 3: I don't have the exact number of teams that have 961 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 3: been undefeated in the regular season that lost their conference 962 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:58,440 Speaker 3: championship game, but there have only been twenty teams since 963 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 3: they've been able to keep try this that have entered 964 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 3: the NCAA Tournament undefeated, and it's only happened three times 965 00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 3: since two thousand. 966 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 1: And the three times since two thousand, I'm just going 967 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 1: to go off the top of my head here. Illinois 968 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: was Illinois one. No, Illinois had a lost late. That's right, 969 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 1: they lost to Ohio State late. 970 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 2: Actually only three times since nineteen ninety two. 971 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 3: Kentucky correct, Gonzaga correct, And you just said this other team, 972 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,839 Speaker 3: Wichita State. Yes, those are the three teams that I've 973 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 3: gone into the tournament undefeated. So it's not like since 974 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,879 Speaker 3: Jerry Canyon's team in nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one with. 975 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: Unk Marry yeah, and they got beat by That was 976 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: the famous alleged point shaving game against Duke when Larry 977 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 1: Johnson had a wide open shot with thirty seconds to 978 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,400 Speaker 1: go and instead dished out to Anderson Hunt, who threw 979 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 1: up a thirty five footer, and believe you me, I 980 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: was thrilled because I was a senior in high school. 981 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: That final four was Duke Vegas, Kansas, and North Carolina, 982 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: and it became a Duke Kansas final and I was 983 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: going to Kansas. So I was excited about that, but 984 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 1: I was more excited the Indiana's undefeated season would still 985 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: be the last. And now twenty five years after that, 986 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 1: that was halfway to where we are now, and it's 987 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: been fifty years. So my presentation or my idea there, Eddie, 988 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 1: you great at what a to f. 989 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,920 Speaker 3: I give it a B because I still because I 990 00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 3: think you could create issues for power conference teams. 991 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 2: And I say that in. 992 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 3: This regard because if you're a nine, P four or 993 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 3: P five school and you're in the MAC, you're in 994 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 3: the A Sun, you're in the American Conference, whatever, why 995 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,439 Speaker 3: would you then in this scenario, if you feel like, hey, 996 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 3: we're a front runner in the. 997 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: Conference, why would you Why would go and play Syracuse? 998 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 3: Why would I risk to go play Syracuse? Why would 999 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,479 Speaker 3: I risk to go play Connecticut in a non conference game? 1000 00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 3: To kind of hey, let's play this at your answer, 1001 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 3: I have your heare us for the turn.

Why did Alabama A and M 1013 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 1: go and become you know, absolutely led to the shed 1014 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 1: against Indiana to open up the Darren Devreese era because 1015 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 1: they got enough money to continue to fund their travel 1016 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year in their season. I 1017 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 1: get it. I get what you're saying, and it's a 1018 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: fair point. Now, other thing about college basketball is this 1019 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to money, and it does impact the Pacers. 1020 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 1: And yes, we're going to talk Lou Holtz coming up 1021 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: a little over an hour from now. Jeff is going 1022 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 1: to join the program. We're going to talk to Davey 1023 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 1: Hamilton out in Phoenix here in about fifteen minutes and 1024 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: We've talked plenty of about the Alec Pierce situation, which 1025 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: we're monitoring as well, and Eddie has a great question 1026 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: about that. But last night the story comes out the 1027 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: Pacers are obviously in play for a top four draft pick. 1028 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 1: We had Ryan Carr on yesterday who's now the executive 1029 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 1: director of Indiana Basketball and was formerly the director of 1030 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 1: player personnel for the Pacers, and right there in the 1031 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: mix with their scouting and everything else, and Ryan said 1032 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: flat out, this is a draft that has and he said, 1033 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: seven potentially even eight players in the front of it 1034 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: that are guys that you only get every so often, 1035 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, once every five year, guys, generational guys. Whatever 1036 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 1: it may be. It is my belief. That doesn't mean 1037 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: it's fact. But when factoring in what the Pacers could use, 1038 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: I believe the best option is Aj Debonza of am 1039 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 1: I saying his last name correctly because I see it 1040 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 1: ten thousand different ways.

Church 1169 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,919 Speaker 1: notne wrong with, that but that means that you have 1170 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:12,520 Speaker 1: a very loyal fan base and alumni base across the, 1171 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,560 Speaker 1: country many of which are very successful from a business. 1172 01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Standpoint that if they're already paying seven million to a 1173 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,440 Speaker 1: guy that was a senior in high school and they, 1174 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,680 Speaker 1: said here's seven, million dollars to come To Brigham.

Back, 1177 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 1: now it's not guaranteed beyond that, Year so maybe that 1178 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 1: comes into.

Indianapolis The Buffalo 1534 01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:54,480 Speaker 1: bills are ACQUIRING Dj moore in a trade With, chicago 1535 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,720 Speaker 1: and your initial thought on that probably, is, well that 1536 01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 1: is good news For indianapolis because The bills seemed like 1537 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 1: the perfect fit For Alec pierce and it felt like 1538 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:06,360 Speaker 1: that was the team that was going to come after 1539 01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 1: him and pluck him away in free. Agency and then 1540 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,519 Speaker 1: The colts are left standing there, saying what the world? 1541 01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:17,559 Speaker 1: Happened Insert John travolta pulp fiction. Meme but could this 1542 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 1: actually be bad news For? Indianapolis because Could Alec pierce 1543 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 1: did look At chicago and maybe it starts dancing around 1544 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 1: in the back of his head and he thinks about 1545 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,000 Speaker 1: that fabulous play in the? Playoffs was it playoffs or 1546 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:33,719 Speaker 1: the end of regular? 1547 01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,200 Speaker 3: Season hard to keep track with all those plays that 1548 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 3: can in, there. 1549 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,280 Speaker 1: BUT i think it was the end of the regular 1550 01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 1: season When Caleb williams looked like he was going to be. 1551 01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: Sacked it's fourth and, long he's dancing, around he's on 1552 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:49,200 Speaker 1: the back, heel and he just wings one into the. 1553 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,880 Speaker 3: CORNER i believe it was the opening round Against Green 1554 01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 3: bay in the. 1555 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 1: Playoffs that's the game you're thinking. About it was It 1556 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 1: Dj moore that had to catch in? 1557 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:56,680 Speaker 10: That? 1558 01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 3: Uh Dj moore had the walk touchdown win Against Green 1559 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,280 Speaker 3: bay in the, Regulars that's what it. Was but he 1560 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,320 Speaker 3: Hit Cole kament in the end zone in the. Playoffs 1561 01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,680 Speaker 3: but either, way if you're a. 1562 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 1: Receiver you've got to be thinking to, yourself there is 1563 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,880 Speaker 1: no greater dream than playing with a quarterback that has 1564 01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 1: the ability to extend plays when all hell's breaking, loose 1565 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,599 Speaker 1: but in addition to, that then has the arm strength 1566 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 1: to deliver the football at the last. Moment And Alec, 1567 01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 1: pierce who is a native of The chicago, area now 1568 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,960 Speaker 1: sees that with The bears sitting away one of their 1569 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:38,080 Speaker 1: primary deep ball receiving, threats does that open the? Door 1570 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,680 Speaker 1: and Does Alec pierce say to, himself you know WHAT 1571 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,280 Speaker 1: i Like. INDIANAPOLIS i like the people Of. INDIANAPOLIS i 1572 01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:49,519 Speaker 1: Like west fifty Sixth. Street. YEP i am interested in 1573 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,599 Speaker 1: going somewhere that most suits my.

Shola BUT i feel kind of bad going 1576 01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,800 Speaker 1: somewhere WHERE i might face The colts in the. Playoffs 1577 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, WHAT, nfc, baby AND i might be able 1578 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:08,920 Speaker 1: to still play in the state Of, indiana. 1579 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 3: Did you and, yeah to be able to go watch 1580 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 3: his brother In West. Lafia did you catch at the 1581 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,599 Speaker 3: end of that interview With kadams yesterday him talking about 1582 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 3: like what he's looking for in his next team like he, 1583 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,880 Speaker 3: highlighted like the stable quarterback position all. That but the 1584 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:24,280 Speaker 3: one thing that stood out to me that was the 1585 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 3: most Un Alex pierce comment ever was the fact that he, Goes, 1586 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 3: hey whoever is paying, me they're gonna have to target. 1587 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:30,920 Speaker 1: Me AND i know. 1588 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 3: That so the days of me getting eighty targets or 1589 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,160 Speaker 3: eighty four targets or whatever it was he had this 1590 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 3: past season with The cult are. 1591 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:37,439 Speaker 1: Over. 1592 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 3: Right if you're going to be paying me thirty million, dollars, 1593 01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 3: WELL i expect to be targeted over one hundred times 1594 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,759 Speaker 3: in a. Season is that going to be a factor 1595 01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,520 Speaker 3: in all at all in these negotiations that he has with, Teams. 1596 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,040 Speaker 1: Well you would think that that Makes chicago that much 1597 01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,760 Speaker 1: more appealing because one of their primary targets is now In. 1598 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,800 Speaker 3: Buffalo, perhaps but THEY'RE Dj moore didn't even have the 1599 01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:58,759 Speaker 3: most targets for them last. Year it Was Roma dunze 1600 01:26:58,880 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 3: and he had. 1601 01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,600 Speaker 1: Ninety romadunze is an, emerging good young, player no doubt about. It, 1602 01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 1: Yeah and that's the other thing to look. At that's 1603 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 1: the other thing to look at is you, know, hey 1604 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 1: is this mean actually The bears are not going to 1605 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 1: target in somebody, else but they feel Like Roma dunze 1606 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 1: is ready to make that next. STEP i mean that 1607 01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:25,680 Speaker 1: is also entirely.

On 2127 01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:29,160 Speaker 1: but he's traveling as, well and that always makes things 2128 01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:34,160 Speaker 1: a bit of a. Complication so we will see if 2129 01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:36,720 Speaker 1: we can track Down Jeff. Burriss in just a MOMENT 2130 01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:40,280 Speaker 1: i mentioned earlier with Lou, holtz one of the things 2131 01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:47,360 Speaker 1: that jumps out at me about his career is the 2132 01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:52,920 Speaker 1: fact that you know he was At william And mary 2133 01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:59,200 Speaker 1: as an. Assistant he went from there to a number 2134 01:54:59,200 --> 01:55:03,400 Speaker 1: of different places as an Assistant, Connecticut Ohio, state and 2135 01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:05,400 Speaker 1: then he ended up back At william And mary as 2136 01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,280 Speaker 1: a head, coach had, success went to The Tangerine bowl 2137 01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:13,720 Speaker 1: that led him to the, OPPORTUNITY i, believe AND i 2138 01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:17,520 Speaker 1: always forget which, order BUT i believe it Was. Arkansas 2139 01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:20,000 Speaker 1: it was Either arkansas and Then minnesota or vice. Versa 2140 01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:23,960 Speaker 1: but he had within his contract what was called The 2141 01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:27,080 Speaker 1: Notre dame, clause meaning that if he were to get 2142 01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:30,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity to coach At Notre, dame that that opportunity 2143 01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,120 Speaker 1: would be granted to him and ultimately that would come to. 2144 01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:40,000 Speaker 1: Fruition and he had turned around several programs by the 2145 01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:41,960 Speaker 1: time he arrived At Notre. Dame BUT i don't know 2146 01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:46,760 Speaker 1: when you are coaching At Notre dame and you're Replacing Jerry, 2147 01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:50,440 Speaker 1: faust who. KNOW i Know Jerry faust is one that 2148 01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:54,400 Speaker 1: people wanted or hoped for better results From Jerry. Faust 2149 01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,480 Speaker 1: so maybe that if you will alleviate some of the. 2150 01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:03,560 Speaker 1: Pressure but the reality is the reality is that there 2151 01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:09,000 Speaker 1: is within the coaching ranks at A Notre. Dame even 2152 01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:12,760 Speaker 1: like the non pressure At Notre dame is ten times 2153 01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:19,640 Speaker 1: greater than the pressure at other. Places but in between 2154 01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:23,360 Speaker 1: those coaching stops from a collegiate, standpoint there was a 2155 01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:28,200 Speaker 1: one year stint with The New York. Jets and one 2156 01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,760 Speaker 1: of the things About Lou holtz THAT i have always 2157 01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:35,200 Speaker 1: respected WAS i feel like the time with The New 2158 01:56:35,280 --> 01:56:42,360 Speaker 1: York jets was actually the time that more influenced what 2159 01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:44,680 Speaker 1: he became as a coach and who he became as 2160 01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:51,040 Speaker 1: a coach because he failed In New york and in, 2161 01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:58,640 Speaker 1: coaching failure is obviously not always taken, easily but to 2162 01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:03,960 Speaker 1: fail as a coach and then rebound from, that AND 2163 01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,320 Speaker 1: i mean he didn't just fail on the. Field he 2164 01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,880 Speaker 1: also he came up with kind of a catchy or 2165 01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:16,840 Speaker 1: a cheesy like little theme song for The, jets and 2166 01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:19,160 Speaker 1: it didn't go over. Well he had an Aging Joe 2167 01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:25,200 Speaker 1: namath and even from that he was able to basically 2168 01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:28,160 Speaker 1: immediately realize that it was not going in the way 2169 01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:32,000 Speaker 1: that he wanted it to. Go and So holtz deviated 2170 01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:35,720 Speaker 1: from that and went back into, college and then by 2171 01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:40,600 Speaker 1: the time he landed At Notre, dame became one, of 2172 01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:44,640 Speaker 1: if not the most successful coaches in certainly at the 2173 01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:47,360 Speaker 1: time the most successful because he climbed the top of 2174 01:57:47,400 --> 01:57:49,880 Speaker 1: the mountain and winning a national championship Still Notre dame's. 2175 01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:57,120 Speaker 1: Last you, KNOW i have jokingly poked fun At Notre 2176 01:57:57,200 --> 01:58:02,919 Speaker 1: dame fans for years about the clip against Rocket ismail 2177 01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:08,480 Speaker 1: and that game and Against, colorado and, YEAH i mean 2178 01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:12,000 Speaker 1: that probably was a it was the right, call but 2179 01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:13,840 Speaker 1: in that moment do you make an, YEAH i don't 2180 01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:17,120 Speaker 1: know about, that so probably should have been a two time. 2181 01:58:17,200 --> 01:58:20,200 Speaker 1: Champion and still great moments after. THAT i mean The 2182 01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:24,440 Speaker 1: Florida state game in ninety. Three, clearly in that eighty 2183 01:58:24,480 --> 01:58:29,880 Speaker 1: eight season there were in you, know just numerous glorious 2184 01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:33,760 Speaker 1: moments For Notre dame. Fans But Notre dame is always 2185 01:58:33,760 --> 01:58:37,800 Speaker 1: a tricky one because it's a national brand and from 2186 01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:40,480 Speaker 1: a local, standpoint you, know Is Notre dame and our 2187 01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:45,560 Speaker 1: Lou holtz local, TEAMS i don't know about, that but 2188 01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:48,320 Speaker 1: they certain because of the fact that they are a national. 2189 01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:50,520 Speaker 1: Brand AND i know that there are a lot Of 2190 01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:52,880 Speaker 1: Notre dame fans In indianapolis because of the fact that 2191 01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:55,640 Speaker 1: the university sits Within. INDIANA i get, that but it's 2192 01:58:55,680 --> 01:58:58,360 Speaker 1: outside our viewing. Audience it's always amazing to me when 2193 01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:01,760 Speaker 1: the number of radio stations OR tv stations call and they, say, 2194 01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:03,640 Speaker 1: hey can we talk to whoever you guys have that 2195 01:59:03,680 --> 01:59:05,880 Speaker 1: Covers Notre.

Controversy but some of that controversy comes 2200 01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:24,200 Speaker 1: from the fact of great. Success and when you have great, 2201 01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:28,520 Speaker 1: success you put yourself, there you, know Like Tim cendrick 2202 01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 1: said the other, day he at the top of the 2203 01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:36,280 Speaker 1: totem pole has the hardest. Fall and when Lou holtz 2204 01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:38,720 Speaker 1: was doing what he was doing With Notre, dame you're 2205 01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:41,840 Speaker 1: at a school that is already, polarizing and therefore people 2206 01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:44,520 Speaker 1: are going to bring up some of those things in 2207 01:59:44,600 --> 01:59:49,480 Speaker 1: terms of the, indiscretions of the allegations of you, know 2208 01:59:50,320 --> 01:59:55,440 Speaker 1: non following the rules Of minnesota and whatever. Else but 2209 01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:59,520 Speaker 1: between the, lines his teams were, disciplined his teams were, 2210 01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:03,360 Speaker 1: tough and his teams were. Fearless and for those of 2211 02:00:03,440 --> 02:00:06,600 Speaker 1: us that didn't Like Notre, dame it only further added 2212 02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:12,880 Speaker 1: to probably the rivalry thereof because it further added salt 2213 02:00:12,880 --> 02:00:14,800 Speaker 1: in the wound because you didn't Like Notre, dame but 2214 02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:19,000 Speaker 1: yet they were consistently and regularly, winning and in doing. 2215 02:00:19,040 --> 02:00:23,440 Speaker 1: That one of the things About holts that jumps out 2216 02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:28,520 Speaker 1: at me IS i remember after his coaching days were 2217 02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:33,400 Speaker 1: completed and he was in broadcasting on a different radio 2218 02:00:33,400 --> 02:00:35,480 Speaker 1: show THAT i was.

Him and after the, FACT 2231 02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:38,040 Speaker 1: i then, realized, actually it's shame on. Me shame on. 2232 02:01:38,200 --> 02:01:42,360 Speaker 1: Me for not having the professionalism to understand that two 2233 02:01:42,440 --> 02:01:47,320 Speaker 1: people football is sometimes above and beyond what takes place 2234 02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:49,760 Speaker 1: in the, game or breaking down the x's and o's 2235 02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:52,960 Speaker 1: of a, score but rather it is a vehicle to 2236 02:01:53,080 --> 02:01:57,240 Speaker 1: allow someone to spread the message or the gospel of 2237 02:01:57,280 --> 02:02:02,800 Speaker 1: what is very close and endearing to, them and taking 2238 02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:06,080 Speaker 1: advantage of the celebrity that comes with, it to let 2239 02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:10,160 Speaker 1: people know the core principles and value in pillar of 2240 02:02:10,200 --> 02:02:14,520 Speaker 1: who they are theologically and. Fundamentally and it was an 2241 02:02:14,680 --> 02:02:17,520 Speaker 1: error on my behalf to not recognize that, that at 2242 02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:23,200 Speaker 1: its core is What Lou holtz. Valued AND i think 2243 02:02:23,320 --> 02:02:28,440 Speaker 1: it speaks volumes that different. Players and my understanding is 2244 02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 1: Jeff rickard had a similar experience in reaching out to 2245 02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:34,640 Speaker 1: a former player he knows of saying can you come 2246 02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:38,280 Speaker 1: on to help us Tribute Lou holtz and having players, 2247 02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:40,040 Speaker 1: SAY i just don't know That i'm ready to do 2248 02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:42,200 Speaker 1: that just.
