Speaker 1: and the four pack of tickets to go see coming

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: up on Friday. James Boyd hoops were on your agenda

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: last night?

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: Were they not?

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: Yes they were.

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 5: So I had to go back and rewatch Iu in

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 5: Kansas State because I went to Ben Davis Fishers at

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 5: Ben Davis last night boys basketball season opener, and it

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: was a good game, very good game. Shoutout to Tyler

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 5: and Bryson who are on the call for the Ben

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 5: Davis Giants. And I believe Tyler actually goes to Cascade,

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 5: so he told me to wish him good luck when

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 5: it comes to their football program.

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: A little three action coming up Friday afternoon for Gas.

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 5: But I enjoyed it, man, it was good. Rake was

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 5: there calling the game. They didn't get a chance to

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 5: talk to him. We'll talk to They pulled it out,

36
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 5: yes they did. They were down with the half by one,

37
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: pulled it out because that's what they usually do in

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: those moments. But I think both teams are gonna be

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: very good this year. And it felt kind of like

40
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 5: a playoff game there for a second. So nice early

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: hoops action to usher in. I feel like another part

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 5: of our sports calendar.

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg, Greg shaw course will join us the busiest

44
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: man on Thanksgiving week. He'll join us coming up here.

45
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: I think he's on the TV call for Butler on

46
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Friday so Raych will join us. We'll talk some colts

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: with Stephen Holder. I know James Boyd has dropped the

48
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: T word when it comes to the pacers, and not Thanksgiving,

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: that would be it rhymes with spank. I don't know

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: why spank a.

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 4: Little risky this morning, a word that I choose.

52
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know what tonight is. You cared explain M

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Tonight you head back to your old hometown. There you

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: venture out to the local watering hole. And boy, I

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: didn't know she looked like that these days he has been.

56
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: It's been.

57
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: You know, I always had a crush on you back

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: in the day. You know you maybe drop out immature,

59
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: you know.

60
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 5: You know I was talking so much on basketball and grades.

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: How you doing something along those lines.

62
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: I believe Jay and b will be have brothers in

63
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: broad Ripp'll certainly have a black Wednesday or two to

64
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: remember from.

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: There or not. Remember.

66
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Everybody safe travels uh in what is one of the

67
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: busier travel days of the entire year. But as James said,

68
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: hoops last night down in Bloomington. Very impressed once again

69
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: by Darren Devreese's bunch. Right out of the gate, it

70
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: looked like three point contests they built a huge early lead,

71
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: and in the second half, after Kansas State had countered

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: a little bit, then they built a lead kind of

73
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: in a different way by a little bit more driving

74
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: getting to the foul line. So I think what we've

75
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: grown used to with this team so far is maybe

76
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: the label of its three points or bus you know,

77
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: that sort of aspect to them. And I think last

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: night they proved an ability to build maintain leads in

79
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: other ways and their defense. We talked about it yesterday.

80
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Kansas State was one of the highest scoring teams in

81
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: all of college basketball. Indiana holds them to sixty nine

82
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: last night. Very impressive again in building leads in a

83
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: couple different ways from Darren Devrees and company.

84
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know what I think of, like three point

85
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 5: contests and shooting competitions and stuff like that. And Lamar

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: Wilkerson has to be up there. The guy can just

87
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 5: flyshoot the basketball. When they got to steal early in

88
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: the game, he just stops the transition. I think if

89
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 5: it might have been the two one one or three

90
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: on two, and normally in a basketball setting or basketball practice,

91
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: your coach is going to tell you, hey, move the ball,

92
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: go get a layup. You know, don't settle for jump shots.

93
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 5: He just steps right into a three switch, and I'm like, Oh,

94
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 5: that's the kind of game we're gonna have today. So

95
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: I think when we were talking the other day about

96
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 5: how they shot it kind of poorly against I believe

97
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 5: what was it, linnen Wood, Kevin in Curnet Ward, I'm

98
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 5: sorry in Crene A Ward when they shot it poorly

99
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 5: against them?

100
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Sorry, what Lindon went was Purdue raight, I'm sorry, Lyndon

101
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: would also I you played, but I think it was

102
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: the word they struggled against.

103
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, So when they shot it poorly against them, we

104
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 5: were kind of like, oh, man, you know, is the

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 5: early season shooting kind of an anomaly or should we

106
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: be concerned here a little bit because the compasstion is

107
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: gonna get stiffer, might not gets many shots. And now, granted,

108
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 5: I thought yesterday shot it very very well and they

109
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 5: continue to think prove that that is going to be

110
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 5: a strength for them now relatively only in the season.

111
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: But I was impressive with what I saw for sure.

112
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 5: I didn't expect him to blow them out like they did.

113
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 5: And like you said, it's kind of do it twice basically.

114
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they shot ten threes by the first media timeout.

115
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: I would have to look it up, but I am

116
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: willing to bet there might be at least ten games

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: in the Mike Woodson era they didn't even shoot ten

118
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: threes in an entire game. So like that, I mean,

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: that is their mantra. You know, they are the spurt

120
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: ability team. You mentioned Wilkerson, I mean him and Devrez

121
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: will shoot threes from the volleyball line, you know, endlessly.

122
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: They they don't even need to make one or two

123
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden stretch it out there.

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: They're called what I call wake up shooters. You know,

125
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 5: you have certain players where they got to like warm up.

126
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: Two keeled shooters.

127
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: Yes, well you can walk in the gym ice cold

128
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: and you can just shoot.

129
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: And shout out to Connor Kenny Powers and right. That

130
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: dude is old school, small town Indiana boy. He you know,

131
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if he showering

132
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: every day of the week, but that man lives on

133
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: the floor. The jump shots a little you know, shot

134
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Puddy and he just does a ton for him. He's outstanding.

135
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: On PJ. Haggerty last night, the All American for Kansas

136
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: State I thought he was the MVP of the game

137
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: and just plays with that bull dog mentality. He's gonna

138
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: get assembly haul on their feet so many times. There's

139
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: a McConnell aspect to his game. I think all that

140
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: applies so very impressive last night down there in bloom

141
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: ten eighty six sixty nine for the Hoosiers. Colts back

142
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: to work today, it'll be a walkthrough. We're used to Wednesday, Thursday,

143
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: Friday practice schedule. As you get this late in the season,

144
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: teams do op for some walkthrough. So the Colts will

145
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: do that as they get back to practice. Especially Ashton

146
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: Dulan on injured reserve, so he is going to miss

147
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: four games that hamstring injury. James, I don't want to,

148
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, act like Ashton Doolan is whatever, a top

149
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: five most indispensable player. But you look at Sunday, you're

150
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: what a three point favorite. You look at next Sunday

151
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville, the Sunday after that at Seattle, and then

152
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: what it's San Francis going on Monday night. I'm willing

153
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: to bet Vegas will have the Colts pegged right around

154
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: this three point spread each of the next four games.

155
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes favored sometimes a little bit of an underdog, like

156
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: that's just how it's going to be. And Doolan, as

157
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: crazy as it might sound to some people, he makes

158
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: a couple of sneaky plays every game that can add

159
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: up to one less first down you have to get

160
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: as an offense, one more first down that your defense

161
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: gets to defend. Like he is that type of guy.

162
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: So him missing a month I do think is notable.

163
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: I know you mentioned in a story yesterday on one

164
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: of seventy five thefan dot com the hidden yardage, and

165
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: he is the king of the hitting yardage because he

166
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 5: will usually force the other team to take a fair

167
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: catch so they can't return anything. He will usually have

168
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: a great return in his own right on kickoff opportunities,

169
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 5: and like you said, twist army knife, Gal throw him

170
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: in there on some offensive plays and like he had

171
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 5: an explosive last week forty eight yard catch up believed

172
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: down the sideline. So it will be a hard position

173
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: to replace. It's not the worst thing in the world,

174
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: but it ain't the best either, So I feel for him.

175
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 5: He I think he missed a couple of games earlier

176
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 5: this year with the chest injury. If I'm mistaken. Kevin

177
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: might have been one, I know at least one game

178
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: with the chest injury, but he's been pretty durable over

179
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: the last couple of years outside of the ACLS here

180
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. So I feel for him,

181
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: But I do think this is what you kind of

182
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 5: bolster your roster for. I feel a little bit better

183
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 5: about the opportunity for George Odom. He's been here, he's

184
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: been a great special teams player for you, so you

185
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 5: have options.

186
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that's a tough one. We'll get to

187
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: who the cults have brought up to their fifty three

188
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: man roster. A familiar name here coming up. Oh, that's

189
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: spill the Blans And then a little bit Oh did

190
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you already say it? Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, jose you

191
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: how much I'm paying attention to this turkey hat, I

192
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: should probably open my ears up.

193
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: You ask a question about this?

194
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh huh. So you have the turkey on, but

195
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: you also look very dapper this morning. Yeah, so is

196
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: there a reason to Yeah, I mean, on the one

197
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: to ten dressing scale, I'm never at ten to be abundantly. Wait,

198
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: don't talk about my friend like that. I would say

199
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: Wednesdays are the one day I reach like a six.

200
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: Is there a reason for that?

201
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Well, it's probably the busiest in person human interaction day

202
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: I have all week long. That is true.

203
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: Our Wednesdays are kind of long, brother, So for.

204
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: Those who don't know, it's the biggest Colts media availability day.

205
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: So it's the most human you know. Usually I see

206
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: jeff Rickard, Mark Dycht and James Boyd and that's it.

207
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: And frankly, I treat you all as about a two

208
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: on the wardrobe scale and about a four on the

209
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: hygiene scale. So after the show today backwise, Yeah, that

210
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: will shower, and yeah, I will try to attempt to

211
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: be a little bit more sanitary.

212
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: All right, I can respect it. Should the kids probably

213
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: love the hat? Yeah, shout out to Julie Sen, former

214
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: sales co worker.

215
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: Here.

216
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: We did a show one Wednesday Thanksgiving on the Circle

217
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: and uh wow, yeah she her. I want to say,

218
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: her mother knitted this hat. And really I'm stood the

219
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: test of time. I kind of forget how high it is.

220
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking over at the TV picture of the camera

221
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's like out of the frame

222
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: right now. Really makes me feel like I'm like six

223
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: eight sixty nine. That's how I feel whenever day six, seven, six, eight,

224
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Oh lord boo, throw it tomato at him, please at

225
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: the college football player.

226
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: Did I see that? I don't know.

227
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: I've tuned that out in my mind.

228
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to those rankings here coming up in a

229
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: bit in the Pacers North of the Border tonight. No RJ.

230
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: Barrett for the Raptors. For those who haven't been paying attention,

231
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: the Raptors are very hot. I think it's eight in

232
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: a row, twelve of thirteen, and here we are. We've

233
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: played NBA basketball for a month and the Pacers are

234
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: still looking for their first road win. So we'll see

235
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: if they do that tonight. They are quite the underdog.

236
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: Seven thirty tip a little bit later north of the

237
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Border tonight, and I want to say this is our

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: start of a WTCHR game. I think I was announced

239
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: earlier this week. They've got a few games this year.

240
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: I want to say it's like ten or eleven that'll

241
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: simulcast on WTHR. So if you don't get fan duel

242
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, but you get the local NBC affiliate,

243
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: you can watch the Pacers tonight as they take on

244
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors. A happy Thanksgiving Eve to all safe

245
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: safe safe travels. Thank you for starting your Wednesday morning

246
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: with us. It's Kevin Bow and James Boyd to Mark

247
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,239
Speaker 1: Dyton on ninety three five on A seven five the Fans.

248
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 6: The Morning Checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh seven.

249
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: Five Fan, Hi, A lot to get to here on

250
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: this morning Checkdown. Let's start in Bloomington last night. Very

251
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: impressive from Darren Devrees and company, eighty six to sixty

252
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: nine over Kansas State. I was curious the line continue

253
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: to climb throughout the day. I think it to finish

254
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: at like ten and a half. I was like a

255
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: big number of how Kansas State has played this season,

256
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: but clearly Vegas knew what was going on there. Indiana

257
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: that builds a huge lead from behind the early Kansas

258
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: City gets back in the game, and then it started

259
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the second half once again, the Hoosiers build another big

260
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: lead and that was primarily honestly through driving it a

261
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: little bit more. The two point game, I thought, great

262
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: minutes from a ton of guys, but Trent Sisley, the

263
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: freshman from down there in southern Indiana, some really really

264
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: quality minutes and James the fact that Tucker Devrees, the

265
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: leading scorer for Indiana. His first bucket of the game

266
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: came five minutes in the second half, and you're up seventeen.

267
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: I think another positive signs Indiana balancing out their scoring.

268
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: Yes, and additionally, what I liked defensively was them being

269
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 5: able to make it hard on PJ. Haggerty because this

270
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 5: is the guy who's coming into that game averaging over

271
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 5: twenty points per game, well over twenty five, and he

272
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 5: was held sixteen.

273
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: So that was clearly a top the scouting report. Swish

274
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: it up, Mark Dyton, Thank you there the manual.

275
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I think our seasoning on Thanksgiving break early too, because

276
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: we're having some issues today.

277
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: So that's fun. Can we get a manual one from me?

278
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Sh very nice? Remember that from a couple weeks back.

279
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Pacers North of the Border. Tonight they are a nine

280
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: and a half I think point underdog. They've got the

281
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors, James. This is maybe the surprise team in

282
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: the NBA this season.

283
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 5: Yes, I can't believe that they're actually good because I

284
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: remember the Raptors when they traded Pascal Siakam because they

285
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 5: had to rebuild. But they have the addition of Brandon Ingram.

286
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: He's been playing good basketball, so this will not be

287
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 5: an easy task at all for the Pacers, So no RJ.

288
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: Barrett for them. Scottie Barnes, of course, has been you know,

289
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: very good in his young NBA career here. So eight

290
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: straight wins to the Raptors, I think it's twelve to

291
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: thirteen A reminders seven point thirty tip tonight as the

292
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: Pacers look for their first road win here of the season.

293
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: They'll be at home much more manageable starting this weekend.

294
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: You'll get the Tree Light Game on Friday against the Wizards,

295
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: and then the Bowls on Saturday, back to backsh As

296
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: we transition here to college football. The rankings out last

297
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: night nothing too out of the ordinary, certainly from the

298
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: top ten or so. You did see the Miami Hurricanes

299
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: start to climb up. I know a lot of chatter

300
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame versus Miami. The committee said last night

301
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: they are now grouped together, but they still feel like

302
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's overall body of work superseeds where Miami is at,

303
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: so no surprise with that. So the path if the

304
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: playoffs started today, Indiana would take on the winner of

305
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Old Miss Alabama in a neutral quarterfinal game maybe, and

306
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: then if the Seeds held, it would be A and

307
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: M in Ohio State. For Notre Dame they would be

308
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: the nine seed at Oklahoma in round one. If those

309
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Seeds held the rest of the way, it would be

310
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State on a neutral field, and then Georgia and Indiana.

311
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: So basically Friday night for the Bucket. IU wins that game,

312
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: they will get a bye because don't do they not

313
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: really factor in conference championship games? Isn't that the rule?

314
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: They shouldn't.

315
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be punished for playing a conference championship game

316
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: when other teams. Should You rest players in your conference

317
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: championship game?

318
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 5: Then, I think in a vacuum, yes, but in real

319
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: life no, because you're teaching guys to go out there

320
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 5: and play to play to win, and you're trying. You

321
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 5: know how it is like when we talk to Shane's tyking,

322
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 5: it's always win your division. Didn't try to win the conference,

323
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 5: you know obviously win the super Bowl. So your first

324
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 5: championship opportunity is the big team championship, and for a

325
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 5: program like Indiana, you certainly can't. I don't think you

326
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 5: shouldarrest anybody because HOWU cares, but Ohio State doesn't care.

327
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: Next Saturday night as well, you're telling me if you're

328
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: looking at resumes of what they've done recently. Sure, one

329
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 5: teams won the national championship. The other team is just

330
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: trying to get there. But I don't think either team's

331
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: arrest anybody. Football players, you get paid to play football,

332
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 5: show up and play.

333
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: And literally, when you said about college football, you're actually.

334
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: I'm dead serious.

335
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one hundred and twenty eighth medium between Indiana

336
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: and Purdue coming up Friday nights on the Great Iron,

337
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: twenty eight and a half. I don't know if you've

338
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: seen that line change at all. Mark reminder of seven

339
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: thirty for that one in West Lafayette. Other items of note,

340
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: a great Thanksgiving slate coming up tomorrow.

341
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: Mark.

342
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Your favorite of the three games is what for the NFL?

343
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: Well, first one right out of gate, Packers Lions. That's

344
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: the sexiest one right there for me. Jordan Love hasn't

345
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: been looking very good. The Lions seem to have been

346
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: missing Ben Johnson a little bit, but the NFC North

347
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: is still very much up for grabs, So that is

348
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: that is the one I'm most interested.

349
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: In Chiefs Cowboys to follow, and then we'll see if

350
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow indeed makes his NFL or I should say

351
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: his re Who is Troe Burrow? Guy? Is he any good?

352
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: Three and eight? Is that what the Bengals are?

353
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 4: Yes, they are. They got to win out based on

354
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: trying to get into the playoffs.

355
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: The Ravens who now lead the AFC North, and this

356
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: weekend the Issa State Football finals, the odd classes on Friday,

357
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: the even on Saturday. Grey Ragshaw will join us a

358
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. James, do you have

359
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: a storyline or a team that you're particularly interested in

360
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: coming up here this weekend?

361
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 5: I think for me, I'm always looking at the big

362
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 5: schools because that is the biggest attention. And I think

363
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: anytime you have a chance to go back to back

364
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 5: years winning a state championship without dropping a game, that

365
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 5: is remarkable. I'd like to know the last team they

366
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 5: did that. I'm sure it's not that long ago. They

367
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: got some rich history here when it comes to football

368
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 5: in this state and some of the powerhouses we've seen.

369
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 5: And then when you're looking at with Brownsburg unfeed you

370
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 5: last year they were yes, they went under last year.

371
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: Another one.

372
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, pre match of last year Brownsburg Westfield six A

373
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: five A, Maryville newpal yea four. A's a rematch from

374
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: week one or on Collie beat Dwanger three nothing. You

375
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: brought up Cascade earlier, Yes, in their first ever appearance

376
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: coming up, and that is the three A matchup with

377
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: Lures who shut down Miles McLoughlin and the semi state round,

378
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: holding him to less than one hundred yards. Will continue

379
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: to talk about that throughout.

380
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 5: And shout out to my region teams Baby and Rana

381
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 5: and Maryville. Let's get some hardware.

382
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Maryville. I saw that that they were like zero to

383
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: ten in their last tens of my state appearance. I'm

384
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: not surprised at all.

385
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 5: Honestly, they're They're the most talented team I feel like

386
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 5: in the northern part of the state or in the

387
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 5: region at least. But they would always get to that

388
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 5: part of the season and their undisciplined nature would always

389
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 5: bite them the pirates right, Yes, and they would you know,

390
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: rob themselves of opportunities to get to the stay final

391
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 5: with penalties and boneheaded decisions.

392
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, they finally broke.

393
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 3: Through all right.

394
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: Coming up next to who difficult to bring up in

395
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: their practice squad, a familiar name fill in the spot

396
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: of Ashton Doolan and also the old te word. Yes, tank,

397
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: is that something the Pacers should entertain? We'll chat about

398
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: that on the other side. This is the FANOMRNI show here,

399
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Thanks for spending that with us. They's

400
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: amazing day.

401
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: Brain, you were listening to a fan morning show sports

402
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 6: Radio ninety three five and one.

403
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: I had no idea that Macy's Day parade had a

404
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: lyric that was that green Day. It's green Day. Yeah, unbelievable.

405
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: Would you ever do that?

406
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: I no, I mean I get exposed quick. I got

407
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: no coordination. What the hell would I be in the

408
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: parade for?

409
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 4: Not like just going to watch it?

410
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 5: Because my mom is always like, oh, I would love

411
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: to see no chance the Macy's Day parade.

412
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: I would love to see the ball drop.

413
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: Like a hug al Roker and you know, yeah, do that,

414
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: And that's what my.

415
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: Mom would do.

416
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: I got my uncle Ashley wants to do New Year's

417
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: a time scraare no chance?

418
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just feel like, yes, I feel like like

419
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 4: you're gonna walk two steps to bump into somebody.

420
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: My aunt uncle lived just north of New York City.

421
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: My uncle works downtown. My aunt did the New Year's

422
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: eve Ball drop one year and she just said it

423
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: was horrific.

424
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very much like, oh, this is really cool

425
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: to watch on TV.

426
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

427
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: Actually, do we have local people in the Macon's Day Parade?

428
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: I feel like Mark, I feel like I see the

429
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: Avon band in it every year. They might be there.

430
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

431
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm always impressed by the bands that just travel

432
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 2: from all over the place, Like we're in Chicago, went

433
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: to the the Michigan's Avenue Parade lights over the weekend

434
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: and it was like an Alabama band and everything like them,

435
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: Like what are you doing here?

436
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: Like how do you get the call for that? That's

437
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: so always blows my mind.

438
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: Seems like quite the ordeal, to be honest with you,

439
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: to travel all that way, James, you mentioned earlier in

440
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: the show Ashton Doolan out a month, it will be

441
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: George Odom getting the call up from the practice squad.

442
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: That is a former cult signed by the team last week,

443
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: thirty two year old. I don't think he'll do all

444
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: the Dulan duties. No, No, I think the return duties

445
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: that Dulan occasionally occupies. You know, you've got Anthony Gould.

446
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: You've got a mirror Abdullah that can do that. One

447
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: thing I did want to mention just with this Ashton

448
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: dooland news of him going on injured reserve for four weeks, James,

449
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: you can't afford an injury right now to number eleven

450
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and number fourteen. You know, we haven't really talked about

451
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: this much, but Alec Pierce has had a concussion or two.

452
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: But Michael Pittman Junior and Alec Pierce have been incredibly

453
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: durable throughout their NFL careers. Knock on some wood there,

454
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: but with the trade of ad Mitchell, I say that

455
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: in all seriousness. And now Ashton Dolan going on injured

456
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: reserve for a month, like Lakwan Treadwell, I guess would

457
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: be next man up if you need an outside wide out.

458
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: So just something to keep in mind. I know the

459
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: dueling offensive duties aren't necessarily immense and quantity each week.

460
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: I still think they view him in a nice light

461
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: and he provides a great trustworthy option when you do

462
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: need to give those guys a little bit of a

463
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: breather there. But just something to point out if the

464
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Colts were practicing today, would you expect Daniel Jones to

465
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: be full. That's a good.

466
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: Question because Shane told me there are no limitations.

467
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: But I would probably lean towards maybe not because of

468
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 5: the way his gate kind of looked later in the

469
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 5: game as the game wore on. And this is not

470
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: to say, oh my gosh, he was so limited against

471
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 5: the Chiefs that's why he lost. No, that's not why

472
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: they lost. But I think it's worth noting, and I

473
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: think it was certainly something that we can't overlook Kevin.

474
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 5: So I'll be very curious to see what the estimated

475
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 5: injury report says later this afternoon.

476
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again we see quarterbacks miss a Wednesday practice.

477
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: It seems like that that wouldn't like freak me out

478
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: or anything.

479
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 5: No, I would have to get to Thursday Friday for

480
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: me to be like, oh wait, wait a second, what's

481
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 5: going on here?

482
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: No, but just something Again, the Colts have a walk

483
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: through today and for Houston still need clearance, full clearance

484
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: for CJ. Stroud with concussion protocols. That'll be something just

485
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: to monitor the rest that we get the expectation of

486
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: Stroud will clear that, but just something to keep an

487
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: eye on here. It's the number one scoring offense in Indie,

488
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: of course, versus the number two scoring defense that would

489
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: be Houston. And it's the number two yardage offense the

490
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Colts versus the number one yardage defense. So this is

491
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: good on good when the Colts have the ball coming

492
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: up on Sunday, great on great. You can make the.

493
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 3: Argument for sure.

494
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: I think Danil Hunter is somebody you gotta keep itn

495
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 5: eye on, same as Will Anderson. And this will be

496
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: a big test for the Colts because looking at some

497
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 5: of the numbers, and I put a story out this

498
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 5: morning basically saying the Colts at this present moment need

499
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 5: to look long and hard at the franchise tag when

500
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 5: it comes to Daniel Jones, because the.

501
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: Blitz numbers early in the season were great.

502
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 5: I mean, he was top five against the blitz and

503
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 5: look at all the advanced stats and data, he was

504
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: argably one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

505
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 4: Now he is mediocre to being.

506
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: One of the worst quarterbacks in the league when it

507
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: comes to diagnosing blitzes and kind of beating blitzes. So

508
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: all that in mind, Houston I think will bring the

509
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 5: blitz there middle of the pack, I would say in

510
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 5: blitz percentage, which means the volume in which they blitz.

511
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: But trust and believe they will bring those wrinkles because

512
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 5: I think teams have kind of seen them blueprint to

513
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 5: beat the Colts, and I look back at it, Kevin do.

514
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: The first eight games, the Colts are blitzed at the

515
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 5: third highest rate in the league, and again Daniel was brilliant.

516
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 5: He was great against the blitz. Since then, over the

517
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 5: last three weeks or three games four weeks, since Week nine,

518
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 5: they've still been blitzed the fifth highest rate, but he's

519
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: dropped a way down the list when it comes to

520
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: efficiency and completion percentage, things of that nature against the blitz.

521
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 7: So I.

522
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 5: Don't necessarily trust if this will be reversed, he'll get

523
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 5: back to that level of play. I always knew he

524
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 5: would kind of come back on the earth. I didn't

525
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 5: think Daniel Jones to be a top five quarterback in

526
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: the NFL for the entire season. But the question is,

527
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: can you get back to being top ten ish versus

528
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 5: you know, over the last couple of weeks just kind

529
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: of be an A yeah.

530
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: I think it's paramount in terms of Sunday you've got

531
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: to stay out of the third and obvious. I know

532
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: that's obvious is good. I'd heard it phrase like that.

533
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: I know it's a little bit kind of like elementary

534
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: to say, but you know, when you let those two dudes,

535
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: Anderson and Hunter get into the Usain Bolt in the

536
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: block situation pre snap, I mean, just watch last Thursday

537
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: night against Buffalo, and you know, because then Shane sickens

538
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Gott decisions to make. Are you leaving Tyler Warren into Chip,

539
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor into Chip? You know how many guys are

540
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: deployed out on a route tree for Daniel Jones. But

541
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: if you can win a little bit more in second

542
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: and seven, Oh, second and seven turns into third and four,

543
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: then maybe you don't let those guys pin their ears

544
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: back because I really think for the Colts to lose,

545
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: Anderson Junior and or Hunter will have to have a

546
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: wrecking moment like a like a strip sack, set up

547
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: a score take away like that type TJ. Watt against

548
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: the Colts type of play. I really feel good about

549
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: the Colts in this game and less something like that

550
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: does occur, which again, they're totally capable of them. Right now,

551
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: they rank third and fourth in the league in sacks.

552
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's individually those two and in this three

553
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: game win streak with Davis Mills as a starter, they've

554
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: especially been outstanding. Now, one thing I think is definitely

555
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: optimistic if you are, you know, looking at it from

556
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: a Colt side of it. I mean, the Colts have

557
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: been outstanding at home this year. Their numbers at home

558
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: are i would say, noticeably better than they are on

559
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: the road, and maybe some of that is due two opponents,

560
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, you face Denver at home. If

561
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: you look at just their point totals at home, James

562
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: forty thirty eight, thirty three, thirty one, thirty one, and

563
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: twenty nine and that was Denver. I mean, that is

564
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: every single game above twenty nine, and one of that

565
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: you know includes Denver there. I mean, no matter how

566
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: you look at it, yards per Carrey, yards per tent, passing, touchdowns, interceptions,

567
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: they have been a much better team at home this year.

568
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: And obviously it's the first home game in a month.

569
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

570
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: It was funny talking to Colts defensive coordinator lou and

571
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 5: Arumo yesterday and he said he was in a meeting

572
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 5: and he was like, dude, I haven't been at home.

573
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 5: Feels like we have been home in a month, and

574
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: he looked at the calendar it has been a month.

575
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: But to me, this is a huge opportunity to kind

576
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 5: of write the ship of your season and show that

577
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 5: you do have the medal. And I don't mean metal

578
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 5: as in like iron the M E T T L

579
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: E Metal two.

580
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: Shane Stiking just comes out of the metal crow bar

581
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel.

582
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: I mean that would help.

583
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 5: I think I don't know if it be legal as

584
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: far as the games will go, but I think this

585
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: is a chance to flex your metal and show that

586
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 5: you can win some of these bigger games. Because the

587
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 5: question we have always had with the Colts in years

588
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 5: past is, and I would say throughout the Shane Stykeen era,

589
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 5: is how many games have you once you weren't supposed to?

590
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 5: And I think this year you've proven that to a

591
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 5: degree because you started so well and you knocked off

592
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 5: a lot of good opponents, and even the three losses

593
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 5: this year or not, you're not losing it like nobodies.

594
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 5: You haven't had a true I don't think Stinker, you

595
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 5: know outside of Pittsburgh. But with that in mind, can

596
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: you keep this from snowballing. You've lost two of the

597
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 5: last three, three to the last four. Going into another

598
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 5: division game sounds a lot different than winning this game.

599
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: Getting back on track.

600
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 5: I'm not saying anything that's like out of the ordinator,

601
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 5: anything that's extraordinary or you know, genius here, but this

602
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 5: is I think a chance to kind of stop the

603
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 5: bleeding a little bit.

604
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: It's like a scoring run in the NBA.

605
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know again, you don't want it snowball. You

606
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: don't want it to avalanche, you know. Yeah, are you

607
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: taking the rick car a lot of time out? Yeah,

608
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: because I do.

609
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 5: Think this can slip into your psyche a little bit

610
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: where if you get another closed game and you will

611
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 5: under that pressure again, you're going to be questioning. I

612
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 5: don't care what anybody says. It's confidence you are as

613
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 5: an athlete. You're going to have that human nature feeling

614
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 5: of wait a second, are we good enough?

615
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 7: Well?

616
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: And then you got two straight on the road after that, exactly,

617
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: and against two teams right now they're in the playoffs

618
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville in Seattle. So yeah, you know, we talked

619
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: about this. I forget if I think it was yesterday, James,

620
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: because I think you were back in studio with us.

621
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: The biggest game of the psych And era was obviously

622
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: the winning get in game to and the twenty twenty

623
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: three seasons. Yes, but I would call this one one

624
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: of the more heightened urgency games. You know, twenty twenty three,

625
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: you're still in the honeymoon face. It's Shane's first year

626
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: as a head coach.

627
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: House money. You got Gardner Minshew in there. He did

628
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.

629
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: No one exect you to do anything in twenty twenty four.

630
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 1: I never felt like you positioned yourself to have an

631
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: opportunity like maybe you do coming up on Sunday, Whereas

632
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: you mean to tell me when you go to New

633
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: York and you lose to the Giants buy a million,

634
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: That didn't convince you that they were going to do

635
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: something special Debt Year uh, Drew Locke correct, Yes, men

636
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: looked like he was an MVP candidate that day. Speaking

637
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: of New York, would you really like wear the diaper? Like,

638
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: would you wear the adult diaper?

639
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: If you did?

640
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: Reasons not to do this.

641
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 4: The New Year's Eve dropped the ball thing. No, I

642
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: couldn't do it. That's one of the reasons why why

643
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 4: didn't you feel.

644
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: That, wouldn't you feel the I would argue the one

645
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: or the two.

646
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: Certainly the two I.

647
00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: Would definitely think.

648
00:29:59,840 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 8: So.

649
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I told you all, I was on a flight.

650
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 4: I haven't worn a diaper in a while, just to

651
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: be clear, But well.

652
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 5: I told you I was on a flight to Kansas

653
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: City and the couple next to me had a young daughter,

654
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 5: and she certainly had, you know, a little potty and

655
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: she was telling.

656
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: Everybody jb let me go to the laboratory and James,

657
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: oh no.

658
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 5: She was telling everybody on the plane that she had

659
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: to go to the bathroom or or had went to

660
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 5: the bathroom. She needed to get changed. So if she

661
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 5: is feeling that way, you know, all she has to

662
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: do is wait for twenty minutes to get off this plane.

663
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 5: How do you feel we got to wait like twenty

664
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 5: hours or whatever however long you're out there. That's probably

665
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 5: too long, but seven hours, because I would think you

666
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 5: have to get there early right to like be down there.

667
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: You can't just show up at eleven o'clock hours, yeah,

668
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 5: like buddy, and you can't move when as a guy

669
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 5: who's I mean, we've all probably been in New York.

670
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 5: There is nowhere to use a public restroom in like

671
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 5: the heart of Times Square. That's like one of their rules.

672
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 5: I feel like you can order food, you can do

673
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 5: a lot of things, you can not use their bathrooms.

674
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

675
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: So I would not do the diaper. And to bring

676
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: it back to the colts, they can't be hoping on diapers.

677
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: You can't.

678
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: You can't.

679
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: You know, ruins the opportunity by poop pooing your home

680
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: game away.

681
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good. Here in the YouTube, chat points out

682
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: the Denver game last year. Yeah, I mean that is

683
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: one that definitely I think ranked up there. I know

684
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: this was just a little bit of a different feel

685
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: to it. This is why maybe some of it's year three,

686
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you get a little further into the

687
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: ten year.

688
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: I think it's that, Kevin. But I also think that

689
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 5: you have earned the right to have higher expectations. Sure,

690
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 5: last year when we were in Denver and JT dropped

691
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 5: that ball which basically dropped their playoff chances, the key

692
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 5: work there is chances they were still having to win

693
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 5: that game. I think win against the Giants, get some

694
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 5: help from other teams. This is an opportunity where for

695
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: the first time it feels like outside that winning in

696
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 5: game in week eighteen and twenty twenty three.

697
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: You get to help yourself. Yeah, and you play from

698
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: ahead in December exactly.

699
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 5: So again, I don't look at it from a scenario

700
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 5: of it's year three. It's more so we got off

701
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 5: to such a great start, We've played such good football overall. Again,

702
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 5: you're still eight and three, that we've earned the rights

703
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 5: of higher expectations. Now you can say I'm being I

704
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 5: don't know, a little disingenuous or unfair, because it's like, oh, wait,

705
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 5: why are you being so hard on them now when

706
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: they're eight and.

707
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: Three, Because you've shown me how good you can be.

708
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 4: Hooy blank period.

709
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Very impressive from Indiana last night down in Bloomington. Matt

710
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Weaver from PEGUS will join us coming up at nine.

711
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: We'll probably talk a little bit more bucket game football centric,

712
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: but again, Darren Devreese's bunch really really good last night.

713
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: In running Away from Kansas City. I'd say both haves.

714
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: They built some big leads there can't say got back

715
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: in the game a little bit in the first half

716
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: of Indiana built it right back up.

717
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: Mark.

718
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: You found this audio in relation to the Pacers and

719
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: the old tea word earlier this week, the t word

720
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: being tank.

721
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 7: M hm.

722
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: You want to set this up a little bit here

723
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: from Zach Klob.

724
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons on The Ringer Podcast discussed

725
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: saying obviously the Pacers horrible start to the season, but

726
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: Zach low discussing why in the long run it actually

727
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: might be quite beneficial for the Pacers.

728
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 9: This could be the best single season tanking scenario since

729
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 9: the Spurs got Tim Duncan this team coming back, You

730
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 9: mean like a team being able to get a major guy,

731
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 9: a very clearly good team, right that is decimated, takes

732
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 9: a gap year, miraculously gets its own twenty twenty six

733
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 9: pick back in a trade at the twenty twenty five

734
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 9: in the finals.

735
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: From yeah, that's the.

736
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: Trade in the finals.

737
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: We're together, not knowing that.

738
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 9: Tyre's Halliburn is about to get injured and that whole

739
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 9: season is going to go up and smoke for them,

740
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 9: gets everyone healthy. They're not old, and they're like, well,

741
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 9: just add potentially the number one pick, the number three pick,

742
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 9: the number four pick, a guy who can probably come

743
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 9: in and give them real minutes next year. They're going

744
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 9: to have to solve the center position all that, but like,

745
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 9: if you're going to suffer that kind of blow and

746
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 9: it was horrible, and like it still gets talked about

747
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 9: every time I go out for lunch or drinks or

748
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 9: coffee with anybody.

749
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: That injury and the what if of all that and

750
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: that miraculous playoff run. People wrap their minds around it yet.

751
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: But the Pacers are going to the finals.

752
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 9: Pacers are going to come back sans Miles Turner with

753
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 9: a top five fit.

754
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: Bring me Ajdvanza, bring me Darren Peterson.

755
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: Would you have a position or would it strictly be

756
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: best player available, best player available?

757
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 5: I think this class is so good at the top

758
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: that you just get the top due that you can

759
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 5: pick depending on where you fall in the draft. So

760
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: if you're a top three, you just pick whoever's next

761
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 5: on the board and you figure it out from there.

762
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 5: Because I think the beauty of Halliburton is he can

763
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: play pretty much with anybody. So as long as you're

764
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 5: not drafting, I don't know a six to two guard

765
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 5: with a top three pick. If the guy is a

766
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 5: wing or forward, go get them.

767
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: You can point to injuries for a lot of the Pacers,

768
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, two and fifteen starter course, I would say

769
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: one of the more wild misevaluations right now with this

770
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: Pacers team that has nothing to do with injury has

771
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: been center. Like when Miles turn exited. Let again, let's

772
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: throw out letter grades here as the son of two teachers,

773
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: let's call Miles Turner a B level center in the NBA.

774
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: I think the Pacers thought they could patchwork it together

775
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: and get C plus center play. And I'd argue right now, James,

776
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: it is the only reason you're not an F is

777
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: because the teacher likes you.

778
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, is this because one of

779
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 5: those scenarios where you show up every day.

780
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: You show up every day, you might you know, you

781
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: might be the first to pick up trash off the floor.

782
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: You know she's got you know, oh boy, there's just

783
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: something about him that, you know what, I'm not going

784
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: to give him an F Have you ever done that

785
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: as a teacher? No, not to that degree. But I

786
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: do think there is a lay. There is a little

787
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: bit of a if you show me some quality effort

788
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: and care, then if there is a benefit of the

789
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: doubt situation, I'm probably gonna give you that more than

790
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: the reverse. I don't know. Maybe I'm lying, maybe I

791
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: just said that I did, but I'm not respect. I would.

792
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 5: John Lanner and the YouTube chat respect twenty nineteen national

793
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 5: champ Jay Huff, You cowards.

794
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 3: John.

795
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 4: It ain't twenty nineteen brother, And this is not college basketball.

796
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Huff is a nice backup.

797
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna say, can I say this finally? I

798
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 5: thought this since they signed him. So growing up, when

799
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 5: I played basketball with my cousins in the backyard in Chicago, Romeoville, whatever,

800
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: if someone called you Huff, you were trash, you couldn't play.

801
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 5: Who would say this dude is Huff. So whenever I

802
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 5: hear his name, like this is a bad basketball name,

803
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 5: Jay Huff. This is like the Hoper Briockies up in

804
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 5: the region. They're a basketball team, great football nickname being

805
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 5: the Brickies got tackled by a pall of bricks is

806
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 5: what they would always say on the intercom. If you're

807
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 5: playing basketball your nickname is the Brickies is not good.

808
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 5: If your last name is Huff and you're playing basketball,

809
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 5: is not good. No dispect to Jay Huff. Great dude,

810
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 5: you can shoot it, but man, I.

811
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: Just think of the three little pigs. When I hear

812
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: Huff blow your house down.

813
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: I haven't heard Huff to describe a bad person in

814
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: a long time. That brought me back to like middle school.

815
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: I know you've heard it too.

816
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: That's amazing, the suburbs.

817
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: Thing or something.

818
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's his dude. Is Huff is just like

819
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: the PG tour golfer Adam Shank.

820
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not a good name. It's not a good

821
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 5: PGR to name just one of the PG. I know,

822
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 5: I know we need to have Jay Huff have the

823
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 5: same success. But to your point, I never thought that

824
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 5: they could replace Miles as easily as perhaps just this

825
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 5: center by committee approach. And it's kind of like the

826
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 5: two quarterbacks you have in the NFL. If you ain't,

827
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: if you don't have, what is it? What's the old saying?

828
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 5: If you got two, you got none, If you got three,

829
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 5: you got none.

830
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing for Monday. And if you really want to,

831
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean you are grabbing for the glasshouse full right now.

832
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: If you want to look at the last three games, James,

833
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: you won a game beating Charlotte, I would say Cleveland

834
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: on Friday night. You played pretty good besides the third quarter,

835
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: and then Monday against a healthy Pistons team, you're a

836
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: shot away from overtime. So again, we're probably really trying

837
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: to reach for the optimistic glass half full here. You

838
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: could say that now for those that are in the

839
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: camp of that Zachlow audio sounds like music to my ears.

840
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: And I don't give two bleeps about a competitive losses

841
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: because you know there are people out there right now

842
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: that are already saying that. For people that are When's losses,

843
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's all about these mock drafts right now.

844
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: I do think what Jarris Walker showed on Monday that

845
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: is a piece that is important moving forward. Again, can

846
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: he start to string some together? Is he when you

847
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: have the Tyrese Haliburton puzzle back together? Is he a

848
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: part of it?

849
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: Now?

850
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a starting part of it. I

851
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: think that's been clear so far. He doesn't look like

852
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: that type of player for you right right, But is

853
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: he a guy that, you know whatever, can be a

854
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: top seven, top eight guy when the neweration of the

855
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: Pacers is here, so that will continue to be a

856
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: storyline for the Pacers. Reminder seven thirty tonight, Mark, will

857
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: you double check that I want to say it is

858
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: WTHR simulcast for the Pacers. I think they had that

859
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: announcement earlier this week. We saw them have a few

860
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: games on WTHR last year. So for those that don't

861
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: have fan duels, just exactly Denari Quinn JJ over on WTHR.

862
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: I want to say, there's eleven such games this year,

863
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: and I want to say tonight is the first of

864
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: the seven thirty tip looking for their first road win

865
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: of the year.

866
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 4: Gotta get it done. I have a story about.

867
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: Toronto.

868
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 4: I think I told you all this before. Yes, today's

869
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: the first game.

870
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: My thank you mark on WHR WLV is that like

871
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: the Sister's Day, first four are on WALV. So it's

872
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: November twenty sixth tonight, December fifth at Chicago, December eighteenth

873
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: against the Knicks, December twentieth at New Orleans, and then

874
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 2: the WTHR games start on Janie sixteenth.

875
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: And they did this with a fever. You know a

876
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: few of these games on w ALV. Got a Turkey

877
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: hat man my chin. I look like I got nine

878
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: chins on the old YouTube chat and I tighten.

879
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 4: O gobble gobble over there.

880
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: That's an understatement.

881
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 4: You probably had his like maddened in sweat right now.

882
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a very high you know. The feathers

883
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: are great. You feel those things up there. I wonder

884
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: how long it's going to make that. I know it's

885
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: quite impressive. There's nothing I could do less than knit.

886
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: You imagine if they're like Kevin, you're fired from the

887
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: radio station. You be a knitter. Can you imagine what? Hey,

Speaker 1: but what my art org would look like?

889
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 4: To feed my niece Nelly, you better get to knitting.

00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 5: I know that Maddie's gonna be telling you, like, hey,

897
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: that size produce that in such a short amount of time?

898
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,640

902
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: he always said he has not only grown up, so

903
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: you might need the adult diaper permanently.

904
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: There's times when I've needed it. Oh man, I've done

Speaker 1: Friday and Irish beating Rutgers yesterday, and you see who

919
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: they drew in the I don't even know what place

920
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: game they call in Vegas. Have you seen this Vegas tournament?

921
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: How weird it is?

922
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: I have not, actually, so basically all these teams are

923
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: just doing it to get nil money. That's why they're

924
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: playing in Vegas tournament. No, hardly anyone.

925
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 5: Don't they have another one like a post he's the

926
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 5: term of the crown or something like that. Yeah, this

927
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 5: Isliers era, fucking ball. Yeah, I think it is similar.

928
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 5: So Notre Dame had two games Kansas and Rutgers they

929
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 5: knew about. But the third game you were to play

930
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 5: wasn't garan what. You didn't know who your opponent was

931
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: or who win the game would be played. And you know,

932
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 5: I'm sitting there after the third poop and I'm like,

933
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 5: all right, I can't fall back to sleep. Let me

934
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 5: scroll see who Notre Dame plays today. They've got Houston

935
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 5: at three thirty today.

936
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, how in the world do they get

937
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,239

Speaker 4: Can buckle up? It's time to get playing on Syracuse.

Speaker 1: Is was huff a derogatory you know, playground term? I

950
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: thought it was at Midwest thing.

951
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just an Illinois thing, but I don't remember

952
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: people saying that on the basketball court during.

953
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: Jo If I got called huff, that would hurt the spirit.

00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: busiest and frankly all year long, but especially this week.

00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: The great great Greg Straw we'll join us coming up

963
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,480

964
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: of Lucasoil Stadium on Sunday afternoon to talk more about that.

965
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: Let's head of the palost Stickers Hotline right now from ESPN.

966
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: He is Stephen Holder, Steven. Happy Thanksgiving Eve to you, Yeah.

967
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 3: Same to you guys and shout out to Mark for

968
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 3: the mid career Kanye West right there when he was like,

969
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 3: you know, kind of sort of sort of kind of normal.

970
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: I wish we could go back to that as kind

971
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: of I think the description of sort of kind of

972
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: normal had me laughing out loud there, Stephen, Stephen, he.

973
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: We were we were starting to see signs. We were

974
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: starting to see signs at that stage.

975
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: But go ahead, Stephen, It's funny you use that to

976
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: describe Kanye West, because I feel like, sort of kind

977
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: of I don't know what is up with the Daniel

978
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: Jones injury situation.

979
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 4: Is that how you would describe this fibula thing.

980
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's the end of the world,

981
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's nothing. You know, I think

982
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 3: when you look at it's not just that scramble that

983
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 3: we're all talking about where I thought it was very

984
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 3: evident that he was gimpy. That that is not the

985
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones that I have come to know this year,

986
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 3: which is a guy who just leisurely finishes a play.

987
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: That if anything, he's been the guy who we have said, hey, hey,

988
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 3: chill out, okay, and here's this guy just sort of

989
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 3: gingerly running out of bounds, you know, within no side

990
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: of a defender. That was That was interesting, But it's

991
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: more than that. I think you have to ask questions

992
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: when you see his accuracy at times, not all the time.

993
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: I think in very small instances, you saw him make

994
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: some errant throws and we all kind of looked at

995
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 3: each other, like, man, he missed that one. And that's

996
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 3: not something we've been saying about Daniel Jones, right, So again,

997
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 3: I am not attributing that to whatever is going on

998
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 3: with him physically, but I think that allows us to

999
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 3: have this discourse and raise more questions because those things

1000
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 3: did happen and we don't know enough about the injury.

1001
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 4: So that's just how it goes to piggyback off of that.

1002
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 5: Steven, I've been kicking this question around basically since we

1003
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 5: left Kansas City the other night. How much should the

1004
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 5: colt be looking at the franchise tag now versus I

1005
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 5: don't know five weeks ago, when Daniel Jones is playing

1006
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 5: at an all world level.

1007
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's a fair question or a good question.

1008
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 3: I think I think that he will answer that question

1009
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 3: in the next few weeks. You know, they don't have

1010
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: to make the decision now, which is a good thing. However,

1011
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 3: I think that's just the point is that the next

1012
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: few weeks are really gonna shape I think how this

1013
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 3: off season goes, whether it is how much they paid

1014
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, whether it's how they do it. You know,

1015
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 3: you brought the franchise tag, you know, does that come

1016
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: into play. I think all of that will get clarified

1017
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 3: here down the stretch. And that's kind of what I

1018
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: wrote about today. I think that's really you know, he

1019
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 3: has to answer the bell. That's basically what this is

1020
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 3: because for all the people, I think there's still been

1021
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 3: some disagreement on Daniel Jones this year, whether it's my

1022
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 3: own colleague, Teddy Bruski, whatever, Right, there's been some there's

1023
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 3: been some sentiment that, like the jury is still out

1024
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: and is this just a product of the system, all

1025
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 3: that stuff, right, Okay, Well, the beauty of it is,

1026
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 3: here is your opportunity go get your team into the playoffs,

1027
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 3: win the division, and set them up for success. That

1028
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: is the challenge for Daniel Jones here. And I'm not

1029
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: putting it all on him, of course not, that's not

1030
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 3: the job. But he has to step up. There's no

1031
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: question about that. And this is going to be a

1032
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 3: test for him, and I think we're going to learn

1033
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: a lot about him.

1034
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: Steven hold it from ESPN with the seat on the

1035
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: Payless Slickers hotline. Steven, if you assigned a letter grade

1036
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: to the Colts defense for the effort Sunday in Kansas City,

1037
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: your letter grade it would be what.

1038
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 3: Oh man. I don't think people will agree with me,

1039
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 3: but I would say a B minus. And the reason

1040
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 3: I know that fourth quarter, I know it was painful,

1041
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: I get it, but I blame as much the offense

1042
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 3: for that as the defense. I think where I downgrade

1043
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 3: them the most is ultimately, when you have a chance

1044
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 3: to get off the field, you have to pass that test,

1045
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 3: and they did not at times. But I also think

1046
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: when you look at how they played throughout that game

1047
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 3: up until the fourth quarter, did you think much of

1048
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: the Chiefs offense.

1049
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 6: No?

1050
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 3: And the reason for that is because the defense that

1051
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 3: a hell of a job. So I have a hard

1052
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: time just completely ignoring that because of the way they

1053
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 3: played throughout the game. I mean, Mahomes was holding the

1054
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 3: ball and holding the ball, I mean all day long,

1055
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 3: and he wasn't doing that for his health he had

1056
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: nowhere to throw it. I just think at the end

1057
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 3: of the day, ninety plus plays is unsustainable. Any defense

1058
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 3: on the planet is going to look awful after ninety plays.

1059
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 3: That's a game and a half worth of snaps. It

1060
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: is what it is, and I think that was a

1061
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: bigger factor than we probably are are crediting.

1062
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: James kind of had audible reaction when I brought this

1063
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: up yesterday. I think Matt Taylor shared this on Colt

1064
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: Around Table Live Monday night. But if you look at

1065
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: the yardage from Sunday steven, the Colts got out gained

1066
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: by like I want to say, it's right around two forty.

1067
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: That is the most they've been out gained in a

1068
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: game since twenty seventeen, which I was Wow, I was

1069
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: stunned by, And like you know when you hear now

1070
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: that yardage is everything, But I think it is an

1071
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: indicator of sometimes how you know in control of the

1072
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: game you are, or how much you know whatever between

1073
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: the twenties, maybe you play well. Like I didn't walk

1074
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: away from Sunday thinking the Chiefs nearly doubled up the

1075
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: Colts from a dominant standpoint. You know, it just had

1076
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: such an odd feel to it in you know, the

1077
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: twenty four to forty eight hour after math and kind

1078
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: of how you assess that game.

1079
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 3: I think, you know, listen, that is an awful stat,

1080
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 3: but it's also a team stat, and I think it

1081
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 3: also speaks to to you know, to that point, I

1082
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 3: think it speaks to the fact that the offense had

1083
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 3: one of its worst days in terms of yardage.

1084
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a season low, but

1085
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: I think it was season low. Yeah, I think like

1086
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: two fifty something.

1087
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Daniel Jones season low, I believe in yardage

1088
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 3: as well. Jonathan Taylor, I think his second or third

1089
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 3: lowest game in terms of yardage. I mean, you got

1090
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 3: to move the ball, all right, you got to move

1091
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 3: the ball. And I think we we we sometimes. I

1092
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 3: think since that game have overlooked the fact that they

1093
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 3: had they had the makings of a good opening drive

1094
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 3: to start the game, but short circuit themselves with the penalty,

1095
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 3: which was a theme throughout and the only reason they

1096
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 3: got on the board there was the turnover down by

1097
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 3: Mahomes to the interception to a lot too without that

1098
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 3: which is you know, puts the inside the ten yard line.

1099
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: I mean, that game probably is a lot different and

1100
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 3: and we you know, we we we give the offense

1101
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: credit for that, but like, let's be honest, that's a

1102
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: lot too, you know, so I think we gotta we

1103
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: gotta keep that in mind too. Like the offense, they

1104
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 3: just absolutely did not do their part. I don't really

1105
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 3: think throughout that game they did anything consistently, and ultimately

1106
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: that's that's why they were where they were now. The

1107
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 3: defense didn't step up when the time came, but they

1108
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 3: should have never been in that position.

1109
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 5: Again, we're joined by ESPN's Stephen Holder. He covers the Colts.

1110
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 5: Obviously he'd be doing it for quite a while here

1111
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 5: in the city. Steven pivoting to the injury front, we

1112
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 5: have now found out that Ashon Doulan will be on

1113
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 5: injury reserve due to a hamstring injury. He is out

1114
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 5: at least four weeks, is not eligible to return at

1115
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 5: the earliest until week seventeen. And I believe that is

1116
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 5: actually a road game against the Jaguars. So all that

1117
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 5: in mind, how much of a loss do you think

1118
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 5: that is considering how much Ashton Dooland does from offense,

1119
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 5: special teams and even defense at times.

1120
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think the totality of his role

1121
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 3: is very important. And by that I mean when you

1122
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 3: combine everything that he does, Okay, whether it's his role

1123
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 3: as the fourth receiver, which doesn't sound like much until

1124
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 3: you actually get a twisted ankle, okay with one of

1125
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 3: your top receivers, you know, and then what he does

1126
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 3: on special teams, which will never be valued at an

1127
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 3: adequate level. Right, because we're all the same, we always

1128
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 3: overlook special teams, right. But I think when you add

1129
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 3: up everything that he contributes, he is one of their

1130
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 3: most important players. I don't think that is an exaggeration.

1131
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 3: So do I think this is gonna hurt? Hell, yes,

1132
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt. You know. Whether they need to make

1133
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 3: a move at wide receiver, I don't know that they will.

1134
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 3: I think I think they will lean on treadwell, which

1135
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 3: they have done at times when when they've been down

1136
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 3: a body at that position. But that doesn't mean this

1137
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 3: won't hurt. This is this is gonna be problematic for them.

1138
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 3: I think.

1139
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: Can Steven Holder from ESPN Colts say usually would say

1140
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: back to practice today, it'll be a walkthrough as they

1141
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: get ready for a big one coming up. Sunday about

1142
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: a three point favorite over the Houston Texans inside of

1143
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: Lucas Soil Stadium. Steven, we will see you in a

1144
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: bit and a happy, happy Thanksgiving to you and the family.

1145
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 3: All right, same to you guys, and see you soon.

1146
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 4: What have a question? Are you sell on the line?

1147
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 5: I am all right Thanksgiving favorite meal or favorite side

1148
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 5: dish at the Thanksgiving table. And then the one you're like,

1149
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 5: I'm not eating that no matter how good you tell

1150
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 5: me it is.

1151
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 3: Uh, okay, So I don't know why, but I love dressing.

1152
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 3: Uh and and and and don't for those of you

1153
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 3: out there who are about to come at me with

1154
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 3: some stuffing, no, okay, no, they're not the same. If

1155
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 3: if you don't know the difference, Google is your friend.

1156
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 3: Stuffing is like my favorite all time side. I'm sorry.

1157
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 3: Dressing is my all time favorite side if it's done right,

1158
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 3: like it's got to have you know, got to have

1159
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 3: some meat in there. It's gotta you know, you gotta

1160
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: do it right. But if you do it right, yes,

1161
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 3: that is my thing. I can eat a plate of it,

1162
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 3: which is awful for you, but I can do it.

1163
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 4: And the one you kick it to the curb.

1164
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not saying this is like a regular at

1165
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 3: my house, but like I can scare me to green beans,

1166
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,479
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't really care about beans.

1167
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 4: Do you sound like my chapel right now?

1168
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 3: I'm not anti vegetable or anything, but like you know,

1169
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 3: I feel like green beans is the thing I put

1170
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 3: on the plate where I'm like this, I'm allowed to

1171
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: eat the rest because I'm put the green beans on.

1172
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I do it, all right. AI

1173
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: is saying stuffing is a bread mixture cooked inside the

1174
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: cavity of a poultry, while dressing is a similar mixture

1175
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: cooked separately in a casserole dish.

1176
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 3: There you go. There's a very key difference, and one

1177
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 3: it's just a tool. The other one is actually like

1178
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 3: for you to really like legit eat. So that's how

1179
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 3: I see it.

1180
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 8: Stuffing cooks.

1181
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize this stuffing.

1182
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 3: Then there are even more confused.

1183
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 5: Now I know, I'm going to taller class with Stephen

1184
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 5: Older and Kevin Bowen.

1185
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: Some you know, call the Pioneer Woman. Some called Stephen

1186
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: Holder food Network expert here on the payliss slicker sidelines.

1187
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 3: So listen, listen, let's be quick now, listen, my expertise

1188
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 3: is eating, not cooking. But yeah, right, But but I

1189
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking.

1190
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: About consuming better than preparing. Let's make sure we describe

1191
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: it correctly. Steven, Thank you man.

1192
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:14,919
Speaker 3: I'll see you guys.

1193
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: That's Steven Holder right there on the pay Less Liquors

1194
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: hot line.

1195
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

1196
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: Marshmallow sweet potato casserole. Is that a thing for you, guys?

1197
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 4: No, I'm more of a candy yams type of guy.

1198
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: But before I reached out earlier, he goes sweet potatoes

1199
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: with marshmallows and brown sugar. That does sound good. I'll

1200
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: probably eat that said, it's an absolute must. I can't

1201
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: say I think I've ever I.

1202
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 2: Think I've seen it, but I've never had it. I've

1203
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 2: seen it offered. I'm always going to sounds like.

1204
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: Smoking weed, but I didn't participate me. I might smell

1205
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: like it. It wasn't me, though. I saw her over there,

1206
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: but I didn't say to her.

1207
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 4: She didn't see me.

1208
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: Secondhand pot smoking mark. When you ventured back to the

1209
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: hometown on Thanksgiving Eve, would you dabble in a local

1210
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: watering hole back in the day, back in my young

1211
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: and young and gun days. Not not anymore. These days.

1212
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 2: It turns into like a high school reunion. You see

1213
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: all see the people that didn't move on. Are you're

1214
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 2: still here?

1215
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: It can get a little risk ade depending on how

1216
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: everyone is feeling it. It can I retired from the

1220
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm sweating imagining being in the basement of Kasma. I'm

1221
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: thinking it was gonna cave in on me, and then

1222
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,600

1242
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 8: Yeah. No.

1243
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 5: Being a high school reporter and I drive down for

1244
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 5: the region and I have maybe my one, maybe two

1245
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 5: teams and like the state finals or whatever, and I

1246
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 5: just see that pounding out stories all day long. I'll

1247
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 5: never forget covering the boys basketball state finals. This might

1248
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 5: have been like I think it was my I had

1249
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 5: been twenty twenty because it was like the COVID year,

1250
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 5: like Harley any fans, and remember Jayalen Suggs and Gonzaga

1251
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 5: were playing UCLA.

1252
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: Suggs made the shot and jumped on the scores tables.

1253
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 5: Yes, I want to say that might have been over

1254
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 5: at Lucas Oil Stadium the same night of the Class

1255
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 5: four a boys basketball state final at Gamebridge, and when

1256
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 5: Sugs hit the shot, because we were all I was

1257
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 5: done working, but I didn't want to leave get on

1258
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 5: the road for I saw the end of that game.

1259
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 4: Sugs at the shot.

1260
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,959
Speaker 5: We all go to scream, and there's Kyle Nedden ripped

1261
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 5: like respectfully, turn around like, hey, you know, guys got

1262
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 5: to chill out a little bit because he was on

1263
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 5: a zoom call because thefore a game had gone overtime.

1264
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 5: Some kids talking about how his prize possessed in his

1265
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 5: glorious moments, slipped out of his hands and we're like,

1266
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 5: oh my god, what happened?

1267
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: And here he is pounding out.

1268
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: Stories professional and James Boyd the amateur just with his reaction.

1269
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean that shot was incredible. I will react

1270
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: a little bit.

1271
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: It was certainly one of the moments in March, even

1272
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: though the crowd a little bit smaller. Final four back

1273
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: inside of Lucasol's stadium coming up. Speaking of college basketball,

1274
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: very impressive last night in Bloomington. Let's check it down the.

1275
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 6: Morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh seven

1276
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 6: five the fan shout.

1277
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Out to Connor Kenny Powers in right, I thought he

1278
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: was the MVP last night for the Hoosiers. That man

1279
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: plays with an edge. He will get assembly haul on

1280
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: its feet quite often this season. Might not be the flashiest,

1281
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: might not be the leading scorer, but he's got a

1282
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a scrappy mentality to him. He brought

1283
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: it last night. Great defense on PJ.

1284
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 3: Haggerty.

1285
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: That's all start there. Indiana holds Kansas State to sixty

1286
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: nine points. They had been one of the higher scoring

1287
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: teams in college basketball this season. Uh and James Boyd

1288
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: On a night when Indiana certainly shot a lot of

1289
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: threes early, they didn't need to hit seventeen eighteen to

1290
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: threes to win by seventeen points.

1291
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 5: Very impressive win because the show that you can win

1292
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 5: in a variety of ways. And so this was the

1293
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 5: first I viewed as the first real test for the

1294
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 5: IU season, and they passed the fine colors.

1295
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: I thought one of the key things last night it

1296
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: was the second half. You know, they started the game.

1297
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: They shot ten threes in the first four minute sequence,

1298
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: which is just in a it's twenty to four something

1299
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I mean, huge lead. It's unbelievable. Polar

1300
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: opposite they are from last year's team. But then it

1301
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: started the second half, it was just a lot of two's,

1302
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot of driving more. They got in the bonus

1303
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. So again that's key, I think

1304
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: for them to win in different ways, not just be

1305
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: the volleyball line three point shooting team you know you're

1306
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: capable of. But of course that can come and go

1307
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: a little bit there. So eighty six sixteen nine and

1308
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Reed Bailey, the transfer from Davidson, had one of his

1309
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: better nights of the year after struggling a little bit

1310
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: here in the early going. Indiana Nex Bethune Cookman coming

1311
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: up noon on Saturday, you better cook them tonight. Very

1312
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: good on that tonight. North of the border it is Indiana.

1313
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Paceer was looking for their first road win of the season.

1314
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Do they get it? No, Toronto's playing gray basketball as

1315
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: of late.

1316
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 5: If you would have told me it was the old Toronto,

1317
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 5: the one that got rid of Pascal Siakam and was

1318
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 5: basically in tank mode, I'd agree. But no, they have

1319
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 5: kind of figured it out with Brandon Ingram and Scottie

1320
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 5: Barnes are still doing his dang up there.

1321
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram as James mentions no RJ. Barrett tonight,

1322
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: the Raptors have won. I think it's eight in a row,

1323
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: twelve to thirteen. They've been really one of the better

1324
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: surprises in the NBA this season. The Pacers are a

1325
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: nine and a half point underdog. We'll be back at home.

1326
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Wizards and Bowls coming up back to back this weekend. Mark,

1327
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: do you have the swooshback or have you just have

1328
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: you just been manually swooshing as I kind of preferred

1329
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: you just doing it whoosh. So that sounded like a

1330
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: playing crash out trying to switch it up. College football

1331
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: playoff rankings from last night. I don't really think there's

1332
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot of drama to hit on again. We

1333
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: had I think it was the top ten or eleven

1334
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: teams all one the previous weekend. Things of note, I

1335
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: guess on this side of it. Indiana continues to be

1336
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: the two seed. They would get the winner of Old

1337
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: Miss and Alabama. That would be a neutral quarterfinal game.

1338
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is the nine seed. They would be at

1339
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Oklahoma in round one. I will say Miami moved up

1340
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: one spot. The committee chair did mention afterwards that now

1341
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Miami's in the same grouping with Notre Dame. Basically how

1342
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: they ranked teams as they tend to get groups of

1343
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: four or five and then ranked them within that group.

1344
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: So to spite Miami being in the same group as

1345
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, they still view Notre Dame's entire resume and

1346
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: I guess a little bit of eye test over what

1347
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: happened Week one there in Miami. So that will continue

1348
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: to be a storyline we get. Seems like we do

1349
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: have several notable games coming up this weekend. Georgia Tech

1350
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Georgia could have some significant playoff implications. Miami is at Pittsburgh.

1351
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: That is a game that could have something. But for Indiana,

1352
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as you just beat Purdue, you're

1353
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: going to be a top four seed no matter what

1354
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: happens in the Big Ten title game. I think the

1355
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: committee has told us that file State finally beat Michigan.

1356
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Think so, yes, But this is it's at Michigan, right, Yeah, Yeah,

1357
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: it's at Michigan. Michigan good, Michigan needs it, yeah, to

1358
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: try and get the playoff. Now are they Is Ohio

1359
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: State still in the Big Ten Title game if they lose?

1360
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 4: I don't know how that works. You would know better

1361
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 4: than me.

1362
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: There's a million scenarios, and I think like even if

1363
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Ohio State were to lose or Indiana, they would need

1364
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: like a bunch of things to go also in the

1365
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: same direction for them to miss the game. I could

1366
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: have that wrong, but I.

1367
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 2: Feel like it's usually how previous cult seasons have gone,

1368
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 2: where it's playoffs scenarios and the Bengals to tie with

1369
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 2: the Ravens need the Chiefs still lose, but only by ten.

1370
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: It's like, what, seriously, four touchdown favorite in the bucket?

1371
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: If you had a bet on one or the other,

1372
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: who would you take Indiana to cover Perdue to cover Indiana? Yeah,

1373
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: probably Indiana. Signetty's not taking this foot off the road.

1374
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: Do Purdue kids care about the rivalry? Aren't they? Like

1375
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: eighty guys that are new from last year? I mean, like,

1376
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I you faked a punt on them in the third

1377
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: quarter last year. I mean that's kind of insulting. But yet,

1378
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean the only that I feel like his back

1379
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: is Devin Macabie and he's hurt.

1380
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, But at the same time, I guess you got

1381
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 5: to find something right of your competitor. But that's why

1382
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 5: if you're a student still on campus. You double dip,

1383
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 5: you do the basketball game and then the football game,

1384
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 5: and you're having yourself a pretty good Friday probably there

1385
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 5: you go.

1386
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Twenty and a half point spread there, fifty four and

1387
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: a half the over and under.

1388
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 3: All right.

1389
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, we'll chat with the

1390
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: head coach of the Butler Bulldogs. They've got a Friday

1391
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: afternoon game against a right state over at Hinkle Field House.

1392
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: It was an impressive Green Buyer trip for them, wins

1393
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: over South Carolina and Virginia on a neutral floor. We'll

1394
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: chat with that Mada coming up next for the Butler Bulldogs.

1395
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: It beat South Carolina on Friday in Virginia on Sunday

1396
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: to talk more about it. He is the head coach

1397
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: of the Butler Bulldogs. He is Fad Mada coach. The

1398
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: Green Brier served you well, did it not.

1399
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 3: It was a good trip.

1400
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 8: I thought that, you know, we played some good basketball

1401
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 8: down there. Guys really competed, and you know that, like

1402
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 8: the week before, coming out of the smview game, sold

1403
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 8: things that we did well, sold a lot of things we.

1404
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 7: Had to get better at.

1405
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 8: And uh, but I like I like the direction that

1406
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 8: we're hitting in I.

1407
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Was watching a a little bit behind the scenes video

1408
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: of you talking to your team after the UVA win,

1409
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 1: and you had shared with them a text message you

1410
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: had sent the night before the game for our audience

1411
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: that might have missed it. Could you share what you

1412
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: wanted your team to know the night before that UVA game?

1413
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 8: No, it was just more of the It was pretty

1414
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 8: simple of we had to be the team that was

1415
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 8: that played harder, that played more together, and we had

1416
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 8: to be the tougher team in the game. And I

1417
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 8: thought we did those things.

1418
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 5: Dad, When you look at again, we've talked about them.

1419
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 5: I feel like on a weekly basis here Finley Bizjack,

1420
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 5: when teams you know, are going to scout him, they're

1421
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 5: going to try to take things away from him. How

1422
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 5: have you seen him grow to respond when there's no

1423
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 5: hiding as one of your top guys.

1424
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 8: You know what great question I think with Findley because

1425
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 8: of his you know, he's got he's got a very

1426
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 8: high basketball IQ, and we've got to move him around

1427
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 8: and get creative and in ways to create space for him.

1428
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 8: And you know, probably the thing that that family does

1429
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 8: that goes as unnoticed as anything is he's an unbelievable screener.

1430
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 8: And when he set screens, it buys him time to

1431
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 8: to be more open. And you know, it's staying in

1432
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 8: the obvious. He's he's really really fast when he has

1433
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 8: the ball and can get to the get to the rim,

1434
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 8: or get to a spot to get a three off

1435
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 8: and and uh so I think that you know, the

1436
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 8: biggest thing with him is is just being creative and

1437
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 8: and uh using him different ways throughout the course of

1438
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 8: the game to free.

1439
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: Him up that model the Butler head coach on the

1440
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Payloss Slickers hotline, I got one more on Filly Busjack.

1441
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: In this day and age of college basketball coach, obviously,

1442
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: a huge part of it is players staying with your

1443
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: program and not portaling it up on an annual basis,

1444
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: but also there is an element of you wanting those

1445
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: players to also stay and with Finley and a team

1446
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: that had a lot of turnover, particularly from the front

1447
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: line guys, I get some of those eligibility. But you

1448
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: know what, I guess, was it about wanting him to

1449
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: return as well? Because you know, again from a new

1450
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: faces standpoint, there's a lot of them for you.

1451
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's it's funny because you know, now,

1452
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 8: with the high turnover you don't always get to build

1453
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 8: a great bond with the player. And I think that's

1454
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 8: something Finley and I have developed over his time here,

1455
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 8: is you know, just sort of a trust. I think

1456
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 8: he trusts me. I trust him, and you know, the

1457
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 8: way you Finley finished the season last year is exactly

1458
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 8: how he's playing right now. And you know, he understands

1459
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 8: our system. He understands the coaching that we're doing and

1460
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 8: what we're trying to do, and that does make a difference,

1461
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 8: you know. Depend and I we're talking the other day

1462
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 8: and he said, you know, the game is the time

1463
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 8: that I've been here, it's really slowed down. And that's

1464
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 8: what happens to players, is they mature, they start seeing

1465
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 8: things at a slower pace as they're developing. And that's

1466
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 8: whatever really and seeing in friendly when he's out there

1467
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 8: on the court, he's doing a great job.

1468
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 5: To pivot a bit to the rest of your roster.

1469
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 5: And it can we have thatab Mada Butler men's basketball

1470
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 5: coach joining us here on the Payalos Lookers hotline that

1471
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 5: I know as a coach, you're always gonna stretch rebounding,

1472
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 5: You're able to out rebound Virginia forty three to thirty nine.

1473
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 5: And you have a couple of guys stand out on

1474
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 5: that front, Drayton Jones season best non rebounds and then

1475
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 5: you have Jamie Kaiser, the Maryland transfer, matching his career

1476
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 5: HIG with ten rebounds. So from a great standpoint, what

1477
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 5: did you like about that side of it? Because you

1478
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 5: know how it goes in this game. Sometimes you're not

1479
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 5: gonna make shots, and so you got to get more

1480
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 5: shots in and you get that by getting the rebound.

1481
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 8: No extra possessions. It's huge. And I'll say this, and

1482
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,759
Speaker 8: I thought Jamie Kaiser was our MVP down there this weekend.

1483
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 8: His play was is good. But he had to play

1484
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,560
Speaker 8: against Virginia where he dove on the floor in the

1485
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 8: backcourt and literally flipped the ball up and he slid

1486
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 8: out of the screen and fimily went down shot at

1487
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 8: three and here comes Jamie flying and he tips it in.

1488
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 8: It was It's one of the top three players I've

1489
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 8: ever as a coach seen one of my players do.

1490
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 8: And uh, you know what, he got three shots off

1491
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 8: in the game and had ten rebounds, and you know

1492
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 8: he at one point during the game he said, hey,

1493
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 8: let me guard number two, the little guard that was

1494
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 8: hurting us, and did a great job on him. And

1495
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 8: you know a lot of things that that Jamie did

1496
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 8: down there went unnoticed, uh to probably a common fan,

1497
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 8: but myself and our staff and our team, uh, we

1498
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 8: know what he did down there, and it was great

1499
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 8: to see. And Drayton, you know, getting nine rebounds. You know,

1500
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 8: we've said this all along, we've got to have that

1501
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 8: from that spot between he and Johan. They they've got

1502
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 8: to do a great job rebound the ball for us.

1503
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, dat model with the here Butler back inside of

1504
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Hankle comeing up Friday afternoon. They've got right stayed after

1505
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: their impressive weekend in the Greenbrier. Coach, I don't think

1506
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: we've ever asked you this. You you know, you played

1507
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,560
Speaker 1: at Butler, but you transferred there after a couple of

1508
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,440
Speaker 1: years of Southern Illinois. What what led to you transferring

1509
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: to uh to Butler?

1510
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 8: You know, I'll be I was only Southern only for

1511
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 8: one year, and I wasn't good enough to play there

1512
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 8: and I knew that, and uh, you know, I wasn't

1513
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 8: delusional or anything like that. And then Butler offered me

1514
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 8: the you know, a huge nil package called it called

1515
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 8: room board and three squares, But no, I think you know,

1516
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,640
Speaker 8: I just I knew back then Southernois was in the

1517
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 8: Missouri Valley and it was a it was a you know,

1518
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 8: a bigger program than Butler was at the time. And

1519
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 8: I've said this before. It was life changing for me

1520
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 8: to get here in smaller school and you know the

1521
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 8: family oriented nature of the Butler is it was the

1522
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 8: best move I ever made my life.

1523
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 7: Was that.

1524
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Do you overlap with Barry Callier?

1525
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 3: Then?

1526
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 8: You know Barry was my coach my senior year. I

1527
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 8: played a rich Ardan one year and played two years

1528
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 8: for coach Sex and and then Barry came in my

1529
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 8: senior year.

1530
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: Got it, got it, And the rest is history. Of course,

1531
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: the thad Mada and his coaching career have Butler now

1532
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: back there and again the Bulldogs and I start to

01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,800

01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 1: up at nine thirty. We'll talk a little bucket game

1620
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: with Matt Weaver in about ten minutes, Mark, you care

1621
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: to take a stab at the NFL player that Max

1622
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Bowen pulled out of the ornament pile last night that

1623
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: he wanted on the top of the tree. So you know,

1624
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: emphasis there the hint of the top of the tree.

1625
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 4: Now this this player? Can I get a hint? Is

1626
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 4: this player still active?

1627
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Well, let's start with you know Christmas here top of

1628
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: the tree is usually reserved for what a star, star, star,

1629
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: an angel, Santa something, kin a star. Well, that already

1630
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: gives me that was not a star that he's trying

1631
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 1: to put up there.

1632
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:39,600
Speaker 3: Make it.

1633
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 4: Fitzpatrick was quite the reach last year.

1634
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: I literally thought Mark was in my living room when

1635
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Rosie Ches' spin in this chair

1636
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: we have.

1637
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 3: In the room.

1638
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: And next thing you know, I hear one of the

1639
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: ornaments fall off the chair onto the ground and it

1640
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: was a split head of Aaron Rodgers.

1641
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,599
Speaker 4: Oh god, that's glorious to hear.

1642
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: Like Mark might all of a sudden send the stocking

1643
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: for Rosie and you know, double what's going to be

1644
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 1: in there here? This player not active? Although I had

1645
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: a double check it. Steve Smith Senior, Steve Smith, still

1646
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: you weren't sure if he was still active or not.

1647
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: I had, I had a double check it. I feel

1648
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 1: like he tried to do like the cup of coffee

1649
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: that we've seen. He actually went back to his old team,

1650
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think. I don't know if we've gotten

1651
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: like official paperwork here.

1652
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 4: Went to his old team, and he's a star Andrew Luck.

1653
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: A leaping Salvation army jumping in there on Thanksgiving.

1654
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 5: Oh, Ezekiel, Elliott, Ezekiel, I had that Andrew Luck Starr

1655
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 5: going to his former team Stanford, And.

1656
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: Of course the star would be the side of the

1657
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: helmet right there. So she's not a fan of putting

1658
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Maxico's daddy, will you lift me up there? And

1659
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: he was allowed to put it just below. So Zeke

1660
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: is on the as high up as you can get

1661
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: without being on the top.

1662
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 4: So I mean his name is Ezekiel. There's some Christmas

1663
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 4: tie ins.

1664
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 1: Is or something like that Christmas spirit.

1665
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:19,879
Speaker 5: So when it comes to decorating the tree, how serious

1666
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 5: is this in your household? For example, my mom is

1667
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 5: serious about it, but she doesn't want like the magazine

1668
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 5: style Christmas tree. That's like, I'm going to coordinate it

1669
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 5: with the colors and make it look all professional could

1670
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:36,440
Speaker 5: be in Macy's. She's like, no, I want the handmade

1671
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 5: ornament that you made when you were six, right in

1672
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 5: the center of this thing.

1673
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: So it's for me, it's like I'm looking back at

1674
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: the history of my life. Yeah, that's that's what ours is,

1675
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: you know. And Maddie, you know, I've always said that

1676
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: she's very respectful of my sports obsession, but the sports

1677
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: ornaments have definitely taken a backseat. Luckily, Max Boone is

1678
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: trying to revive that. There's a small tree that we

1679
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: actually put in the kids room. I believe the ones

1680
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: he picked out were Matt Ryan, I think Peyton Manning.

1681
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: I want to say one more, I forget which other

1682
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 1: NFL player that he picked out Andrew Luck's broken in

1683
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: like third pieces, like three pieces. I feel bad for

1684
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: him there. So yeah, it is uh yeah yeah, history

1685
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: of you know, our lives, our kids' lives, our own life. Yeah,

1686
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: I'd say that's probably a good way to describe it. Yeah,

1687
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: h definitely.

1688
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 5: Because my mom she will go in that box boy,

1689
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 5: and if she don't have about three or four things

1690
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 5: I made when I was I'll tell you seven.

1691
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 1: She is very upset. She's gonna have to get a

1692
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 1: little sports writer of the Year award. That's gonna have

1693
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: to be take the star off Sequiel what it's James

1694
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Boyd on top of the tree. Yeah.

1695
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 5: I haven't talked to her about it just yet because

1696
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 5: I feel like whenever I'm trying to call people, they

1697
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 5: got different schedules. But I talked to my dad and

1698
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:49,560
Speaker 5: he's all congrats. Mount say, well, yeah, you know the

1699
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:51,800
Speaker 5: song you raised, you know, you know I'm the man.

1700
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 5: He's like, I get off my phone. So I was

1701
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 5: humble for all of maybe ten seconds.

1702
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,879
Speaker 1: Coach, you would say, back to Actice on a Wednesday,

1703
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: it'll be a walk through upcoming four today again that

1704
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: Nico Collins matchup on Sunday, I think that will be

1705
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: another one. Certainly keep an eye on. I know we

1706
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 1: touched on a little bit on it yesterday. But Nico

1707
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: Collins in the last three games against the Colts, it

1708
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: is one hundred and seventeen yards, one hundred and ninety

1709
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 1: five and one hundred and forty six. He has twenty

1710
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: two catches in twenty six targets against the Colts. Granted

1711
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: the cornerback duos in those games, not necessarily the cornerback

1712
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: due You'll see on Sunday one of those games at Dallas,

1713
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:39,679
Speaker 1: Flowers and Darryl Baker Junior starting, not sauce Gard Intraverious

1714
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: Ford from the outhouse to the penthouse. You good at

1715
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: the B minus grade. Stephen Holder gave the Colts defense

1716
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Yes, because they held him to one touchdown.

1717
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:52,799
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you hold Patrick Mahomes the one touchdown,

1718
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 1: you gotta win that game. I get that they gave

1719
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: him a ton of yards, but my goodness, you're facing

1720
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of this generation and had your offense

1721
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: not been completely incompetent, you win that game.

1722
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I agree with that, then't mean c Plus,

1723
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 2: I feel like anything in the Sea Ranger. You're pushing anyway,

1724
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 2: So it's like the ying yards for the Chiefs.

1725
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 1: They no, because the.

1726
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 2: Point at the end of the day, the score is

1727
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: what matters, and they held them off the scoreboard for

1728
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 2: as much as it was ninety one plays. Yeah, the

1729
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 2: other end couldn't do anything.

1730
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd argue too when you guys say just one

1731
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: touchdown for the Chiefs. You know the Colts scored a

1732
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 1: touchdown directly off the defense and what laou Latu did

1733
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: early in that game as well, So I think, yeah,

1734
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a I think it's a difficult argument. Honestly,

1735
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: I think there were some good and some bad. But uh,

1736
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at Houston coming up on Sunday,

1737
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: assuming CJ. Stroud's back in the lineup again, to me,

1738
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: it's just everything revives around Nico Collins and limiting him.

1739
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I think if you can do that, then I do

1740
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: expect the Colts to get this done. We'll give our picks.

1741
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: It's our last show of the weeks. We'll do that

1742
01:21:58,040 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 1: here up coming to the nine o'clock hour. But I

1743
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: know we'll talk a little IU side of the bucket game.

1744
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: We did produe yesterday the IU side of it with

1745
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Matt Weaver from Pegs coming up next.

1746
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 7: Gobble Gobble Turkey, you know turkeys Gobble gobble gobble.

1747
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: Turkey from Jive Turkey gobblers.

1748
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:14,560
Speaker 7: You know.

1749
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: All right, final hour of the week for us. Here

1750
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: a reminder we will have your coverage on variety of

1751
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: stations for the Issa State Football Championships this weekend. We'll

1752
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:31,600
Speaker 1: go odd classes on Friday, We'll go even on Saturday,

1753
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: so that means opposite the Bucket Game Friday night will

1754
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,839
Speaker 1: be the Pirates of Meryville. Correct, James talked about that earlier.

1755
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 4: Yes, shout out to Brad Cease, the head coach there.

1756
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: Good dude, they will take on New pal and New

1757
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: pal goes without saying what they have done here recently

1758
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: with Kyle Ralph and company as they really blew out

1759
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: blooms in South in the summer. Stay around best coaches

1760
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: probably in the state, any sport. Yeah, he is building

1761
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: quite the resume there over in Handc County. And speaking

1762
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,560
Speaker 1: of the Bucket game to talk more about it, So

1763
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: let's head to the Palot Suckers hot line right now.

1764
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: A happy Thanksgiving to our next guest. He is Matt

1765
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Weaver ofpeags dot com. What's up, Matt?

1766
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 3: How you doing? Man? Pretty good?

1767
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 10: Kevin, how are you guys?

1768
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: We are great. It sounded like a health update from

1769
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: kurtin Signetti was pretty good earlier in the week, right,

1770
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 1: Sarat Kamara both back in the lineup on Friday night,

1771
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: That's the thought at least.

1772
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, and it sounds like, you know, there was a

1773
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 10: chance for Drew Evans. He said they know more that day.

1774
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 10: Obviously we haven't got anything since then, since we haven't

1775
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 10: had any media availability, But yeah, getting Sarat getting back

1776
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 10: is definitely huge and and you know, big for their offense.

1777
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, they've obviously kind of struggled the

1778
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 10: last couple weeks a little bit, and I think that's

1779
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 10: been part of it, not having that go to guy

1780
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,640
Speaker 10: out there. But yeah, getting him back would definitely be

1781
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 10: definitely be huge. And then Kamara, I think he played

1782
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 10: one one possession, one series I'm sorry, in the in

1783
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 10: the Wisconsin game before he came out. So yeah, obviously

1784
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 10: two very important pieces for IU.

1785
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 5: Matt when you look at what i U is trying

1786
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 5: to do, which is finish out the regular season undefeated,

1787
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 5: how big do you think this game is from the

1788
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 5: standpoint of we've got our guys kind of back healthy,

1789
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 5: and we want to make sure we're in a pretty

1790
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 5: good rhythm atter having a week off.

1791
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it'll be important. I mean, I do

1792
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 10: think the biggest thing this, you know, and everybody's beat up.

1793
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 10: I mean, Indiana is not like the exception here, but

1794
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 10: they they kind of limped in the to this bye

1795
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 10: week and then but this bye week came out a

1796
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 10: really good time because maybe sputtering is too strong of

1797
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 10: a word, but they certainly weren't playing at the same

1798
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 10: level that they had played earlier in the.

1799
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 3: Season the last few weeks.

1800
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 10: Now they got the wins, and I mean, when you

1801
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 10: beat another Big Ten team by twenty four and you're

1802
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,639
Speaker 10: doing it playing maybe you're you know, c plus game

1803
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 10: that that's pretty good. But you know you're gonna have

1804
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 10: to play a lot better after this week when you

1805
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 10: get into the Big Ten Championship and into the College

1806
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:00,679
Speaker 10: Football playoff, you know, if you want to make some noise.

1807
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 10: So yeah, getting these guys back, I mean, I still

1808
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 10: would you know if it was me. You know, hopefully

1809
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 10: you can get up big in the second half, and

1810
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 10: you can maybe you can kind of you know, not

1811
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 10: push guys. I mean, you know, serats a hamstring and

1812
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 10: it's gonna be cold, and obviously those things can be tricky,

1813
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 10: so you don't want to you don't want to overdo it,

1814
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 10: but definitely would like to get him back in there

1815
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:21,719
Speaker 10: because he's you know, he isn't played basically like three games,

1816
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:23,560
Speaker 10: so you'd really like to get him in there and

1817
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 10: get that rhythm going back again with Fernando Mendoza because

1818
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 10: they had it going so good earlier in the year.

1819
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,840
Speaker 10: But yeah, that is important. It's it's tough. You got

1820
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 10: to balance that, like I said, and balance not overdoing

1821
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 10: it so that you're healthy for the following week if

1822
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 10: you're playing whoever it is a house state most likely,

1823
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 10: and then you know, a couple of weeks after that

1824
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 10: when you get into the playoffs.

1825
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: Okay, well let's get into a little bit more of that.

1826
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: Matt Weaver piags dot Com. So the year on the

1827
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 1: Payloffs Sickers Hotline. It's rather absurd that you know this

1828
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: is even a conversation, But in the dis day and

1829
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: age in college football, Matt, there is a little bit

1830
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: of a question on what exactly these conference championships mean Now,

1831
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 1: historically it goes out saying what it would mean for

1832
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: Indiana to win a Big Ten football championship, But let's

1833
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: just talk in the twenty twenty five winning it would

1834
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: do what you know, I guess you would get the

1835
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: one seed, you get the first choice of a neutral

1836
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 1: site game. Am I missing anything else on what winning

1837
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 1: it would mean? Obviously we saw last year Ohio State

1838
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: didn't even make it and won at all.

1839
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm not really sure. I think it's more you

1840
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 10: get a trophy, I guess, and you get to say

1841
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 10: you're the Big Ten champs.

1842
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 7: I think.

1843
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 10: I think whoever wins that game would get I think

1844
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 10: they're slotted to the Rose Bowl, because that's kind of

1845
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 10: the big thing.

1846
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: No matter what, you go to the Rose Bowl.

1847
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 10: I think I think so, And for me personally, I

1848
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 10: actually don't want to. I'd rayther go somewhere where it's

1849
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 10: not as far as a flight and travels a little

1850
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 10: bit easier. But that's me being selfish.

1851
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: But all it's Dallas? Is it Dallas, Atlanta, Miami or

1852
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: the Rose Bull Is that right?

1853
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1854
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1855
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 10: And I would My guess is this is just me guessing.

1856
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 10: But like the s top SEC teams I would think

1857
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 10: it's probably gonna get it.

1858
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 3: It's not at Lane.

1859
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 10: I think it's New Orleans, Miami, Dallas, and the Rose Bowl.

1860
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 10: So I would think they probably get the Sugar Bowl.

1861
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 10: That's more of an SEC game. Yeah, ye right, yeah historically,

1862
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 10: so I would think, and then Miami. I'm not I

1863
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 10: you know, so I guess it'd be maybe Miami or

1864
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 10: Dallas if you lose, you know, if you lose that

1865
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 10: Big Ten championship. But I'm not really sure what it does.

1866
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 10: I saw Rich Eiden kind of going off about this

1867
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 10: about like you're gonna you know, you're gonna kill an

1868
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 10: undefeated season for one of your teams the Big Ten is,

1869
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 10: and I mean, I kind of see his point, but

1870
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 10: I don't know. I mean, I think it's, you know,

1871
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 10: you're gonna make money, You're gonna sell a bunch of tickets.

1872
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 10: You're gonna fill up Lucas Oil because if ahow States there,

1873
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,560
Speaker 10: it's gonna be packed and be packed probably no matter what,

1874
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 10: but definitely if they're there. So, you know, I don't

1875
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 10: know what it does for you that the committee's always

1876
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 10: said that they don't put a ton of stock into it.

1877
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 10: So I think even if Indiana loses unless they just

1878
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 10: get absolutely dog walked. I think they stay in the

1879
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 10: top four and they still get a buye. So I

1880
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 10: I mean, other than getting post potentially getting guys hurt,

1881
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,879
Speaker 10: I'm not sure where there's a whole lot of benefit

1882
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 10: for you, you know, in playing this game. And here's

1883
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 10: the other thing. This is a weird thing to say,

1884
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 10: but it's hard to be the team twice in one year.

1885
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 10: So let's just say you going there and you beat

1886
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 10: Oha State if you meet him. I mean, I just

1887
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 10: think it's tough. I think it's really tough to beat

1888
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 10: the team twice in one year. That's why I like

1889
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 10: in the second if any I gets to buy, I'd

1890
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 10: rather not. If I'm Indiana'd rather not play Oregon, the

1891
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 10: number one team, I'd rather not play, and Ken is

1892
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 10: a Notre Dame because Notre Dame is playing fantastic right

1893
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 10: now and Jeremiah Love is a freaking beast, So I

1894
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 10: don't want to play Notre Dame in that in that

1895
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 10: quarterfinal round. If I'm if I'm a team, I think

1896
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 10: they're an absolute dangerous team. But I think it's tough

1897
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 10: to play a team beat him twice in one year.

1898
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 10: So it's just weird if you have to play off

1899
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 10: state and you're playing post potentially what a month later

1900
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 10: and possibly the national championship game.

1901
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just some odd conversations regarding conference championships. I

1902
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, just hearing you discuss it all, I'm like

1903
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: nodding my head. But then I'm like, man, give it

1904
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: the history of the Indiana football program. You know, accomplishing

1905
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,600
Speaker 1: a Big Ten championship would obviously be something incredible. All right,

1906
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: let's shift gears individually. Fernando mendo It still appears to

1907
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: be the favorite for the Heisman Trophy you mentioned love.

1908
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 1: You know, his name is obviously grown a little bit.

1909
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: We'll see what Julian Saying can do in a you

1910
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 1: know what will be a heavily watched game coming up

1911
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: on Saturday with Ohio State in Michigan. If Mendoza just

1912
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't do anything too, I guess negative is

1913
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 1: it your thought that he will win the Heisman here

1914
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: coming up?

1915
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 10: I mean, I guess he Listen, Fernando's had a great year,

1916
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 10: he really has. He's done a lot of special things.

1917
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 10: But let's be honest, this is not a this is

1918
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 10: not a vintage Heisman, you know race, there's not like

1919
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 10: a couple two three guys that are just you know,

1920
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 10: blowing everybody, you know, I mean like that are playing

1921
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 10: like an incredible level. They're playing a really high levels.

1922
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 10: Don't get me wrong, but usually you have, you know,

1923
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 10: a couple of guys that are just doing something ridiculous.

1924
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 3: I guess.

1925
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 10: So, I mean again, I think Jeremiah Loves should be

1926
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 10: in a conversation big time. I mean, they've got a

1927
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 10: freshman quarterback up there. He is just ridiculous.

1928
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 9: You know.

1929
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 10: I get the acc is not that is not great,

1930
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 10: but the bottom line is there they're curb stomping people.

1931
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 10: I mean that game against Syracuse, they could have named

1932
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 10: the score. But yeah, I mean, I think Julian's saying,

1933
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 10: obviously he's done great things in the last couple of weeks.

1934
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,720
Speaker 10: He hasn't had uh, he has had you know, May

1935
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 10: arguably the best receiver in football. And Carnel Tate is

1936
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,680
Speaker 10: right up there too. That those guys have been banged up.

1937
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:18,760
Speaker 10: So I mean, I think I think it's to me,

1938
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 10: it's kind of a three horse race, and I you know,

1939
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:24,839
Speaker 10: I think it's kind of this is you know, obviously

1940
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 10: non quarterbacks have won up before it happened last year.

1941
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 10: But it's to me, it's kind of like in the NFL.

1942
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 10: I think quarterbacks get a little bit more of an

1943
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 10: advantage when you're playing for these individual awards that maybe

1944
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 10: a running back or somebody else unless they just do something,

1945
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,679
Speaker 10: you know, incredible. So I would say he's he's probably

1946
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 10: the favorite. But for me, and while it would be

1947
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 10: great for an Indiana player to win the Heisman, the

1948
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,719
Speaker 10: most important thing is getting through this week and obviously

1949
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 10: the Big Ten Championship is healthy as possible so that

1950
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 10: you can make a run for a national title.

1951
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 5: Last one from me, Matt. Along those lines, though, do

1952
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 5: you think he cares about it? I know when we

1953
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 5: ask players that as reporters are like a team first,

1954
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 5: but it's the highest what we're talking about.

1955
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 10: Oh, I think, I think, I think any player cares

1956
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 10: about individual awards. I do think Fernando is about team first,

1957
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,759
Speaker 10: and I think, listen, I think Fernando came to Indiana

1958
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 10: because he wanted to be coached so he can get

1959
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 10: to the next level. I think I think his ultimate

1960
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 10: goal is to be an NFL quarterback, which is a

1961
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 10: goal of probably almost any player. In college football, and

1962
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 10: I think that's his biggest goal, and I think that's

1963
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 10: what he would say individually if he wins the Heisman.

1964
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 10: I think, of course he'd love to win the Heisman.

1965
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 3: Who wouldn't.

1966
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 10: I mean, that's that's a big deal. But at the

1967
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 10: end of the day, if they tell him we're gonna

1968
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 10: go through the playoff and you're gonna throw the ball

1969
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 10: twenty times a game, we're gonna run it. And now

1970
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 10: I'm gonna say they're gonna do this, We're gonna run

1971
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 10: at forty forty five times a game because that's how

1972
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 10: we think we can win. I think he would be like, okay,

1973
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 10: or you know whatever. I obviously the heismanvie before that,

1974
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 10: but like in the Ohio State game or the Prodio

1975
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 10: game this week, he's gonna do what's best for the team.

1976
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 10: And if the Heisman comes from that, great, and if

1977
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 10: it doesn't, I mean, I don't I think he'll be

1978
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:56,719
Speaker 10: okay with that. But yeah, he's a he's a competitor.

1979
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 10: I mean, you know, and Fernando is I mean, you've

1980
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 10: seen him, he's out state. In interviews, he always says

1981
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 10: the right thing. But I would say, deep down, if

1982
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 10: you if you put him on the light of Texas tests.

1983
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 10: He said, yeah, I'd love.

1984
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 3: To win the Heisman. Who wouldn't.

1985
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

1986
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,320
Speaker 5: I feel like part of MS gotta be like, I'm

1987
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:12,679
Speaker 5: better than these dudes. He wouldn't say that, but I'll

1988
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 5: say it.

1989
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 7: For him.

1990
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Is the thought his brother will be the starter next year.

1991
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 10: Well, I think he'll be in the mix. I mean,

1992
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 10: here's the thing.

1993
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 3: Let's I think it's.

1994
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 10: I think there's a better chance of me being the

1995
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 10: quarterback in Indiana next year than Fernando Mendoza because he's

1996
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 10: gonna go pro. I guess unless he just doesn't want

1997
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 10: to play for the Jets or possibly the Browns, which

1998
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 10: I don't think I could blame him, but you know,

1999
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 10: I think it's pretty I think it's pretty much a

2000
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 10: foregone conclusion. This isn't source. This is just this is

2001
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 10: just being logical. He's gonna go pro. If you look

2002
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 10: at the quarterback room after that, they just they you know,

2003
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 10: they've parted ways with their twenty twenty six commit Cashier era.

2004
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 10: Tyler Cherry's expected to be back on the roster after

2005
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:54,680
Speaker 10: missing this year at the knee injury, and then they

2006
01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 10: have another young quarterback that's a true freshman of the illinoid,

2007
01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 10: Jacob Bell. So you have an incredibly, incredibly inexperienced quarterback

2008
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 10: room for twenty twenty six. They're going to go get

2009
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 10: a transfer. Now, who that is and what kind of

2010
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 10: level he'll be will be a guy that comes in

2011
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 10: and you know, it's not like the Ferneo Mendoza where

2012
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:14,000
Speaker 10: he's basically annointed as the starter, or will be somebody

2013
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 10: where you just want to bring in somebody who can

2014
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 10: provide competition and has a chance to win the job.

2015
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 10: But for an end or I'm sorry, Alberto is still

2016
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 10: you know, a part of that discussion. But they're going

2017
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 10: to bring in a transfer. There's no you have to.

2018
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 10: It would be honestly coaching negligence if you didn't, because

2019
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 10: if some if Alberto would get hurt, you're turning to

2020
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 10: a guy who literally has never taken a snap in

2021
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:35,880
Speaker 10: college football, and you just can't do that. So they'll

2022
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:37,719
Speaker 10: bring in a transfer. But I think he will definitely

2023
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:38,960
Speaker 10: be in the mix, and I think he's got a

2024
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:40,840
Speaker 10: good shot to win the job. He's a talent, k

2025
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,080
Speaker 10: and we just haven't seen him when the bullets are

2026
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 10: really real We've seen him a mop up time and

2027
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 10: he's looked great. But it's a lot different coming in

2028
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 10: forty nine ten than when the score is maybe ten

2029
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:49,400
Speaker 10: to ten.

2030
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 1: He could very well get in coming up on Friday night.

2031
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,960
Speaker 1: With how Indiana has played here as of late, it

2032
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: is the Bucket Game twenty eight and a half point

2033
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 1: a favorite Indiana over Purdue in this one again seven

2034
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: thirty coming up from West Alafia. Matt, have a great

2035
01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving man.

2036
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 10: You two guys, thanks so much for having me on.

2037
01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Matt Weaver from pigs where you can find his work.

2038
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: I remember we had Dan Brugler on a few weeks back.

2039
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 1: James the Draft Analyst. He mentioned that from a twenty

2040
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:22,560
Speaker 1: twenty six quarterback cycle, he had four quarterbacks ranked in

2041
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 1: his top twenty at the start of the year. Mendoza

2042
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,719
Speaker 1: was one of the four, and Mendoza was the only

2043
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:34,280
Speaker 1: one that had maintained that status. Now, what are we

2044
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 1: eleven weeks into the college football season? Twelve weeks in

2045
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 1: the college football season.

2046
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 5: It's a credits how he's handled everything, because I think

2047
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 5: of all the quarterbacks I've watched this year in college football,

2048
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 5: and I'm not some die hard fan watching every single game,

2049
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,799
Speaker 5: but I'll try to watch the big ones. He seems

2050
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 5: to be the most stable of all the top tier

2051
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 5: guys for this year's draft class. Like I haven't seen

2052
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 5: it Fernanda Mendoza performance where I'm like, boy is just

2053
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 5: so off today, or he's snowballing into a really bad performance.

2054
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 5: There's been some mistake, sure, but I think he's got

2055
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 5: a lot of mental fortitude to go along with the

2056
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 5: obvious physical talent.

2057
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 1: What's the jets in the browns of the Thanksgiving plate?

2058
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a big cranberry sauce guy.

2059
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, cranberry anything not Usually that can get a tad controversial.

2060
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 4: I know, I know, but I like controversy, so I'm

2061
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,439
Speaker 4: against it. And I don't know what.

2062
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:31,479
Speaker 1: About the damn turkey?

2063
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 4: No, I am right like this.

2064
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:36,760
Speaker 1: I do like turkey, So I know. It all comes

2065
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:37,560
Speaker 1: down to how you make it.

2066
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 4: And I'm like, look, if you gotta do.

2067
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 1: This, Emerald Lagasi, Hey, I get mean. You sound like

2068
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 1: you're watching the Food Network and you're living with a

2069
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 1: pioneer woman.

2070
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 9: No you do.

2071
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 1: Let me finish.

2072
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 5: It all comes down to how you make it, and

2073
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 5: I can't make all that stuff. So by the time

2074
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 5: you get done with all that. Just give me the ham,

2075
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 5: which is probably more easier to get the job done.

2076
01:35:57,479 --> 01:35:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with Cranberry for the most parts. I'm trying

2077
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:01,720
Speaker 2: to think of like other ones. I just I see

2078
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 2: it on the table. I'm like, nope, hard pass.

2079
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: Evan Cheryl says deviled eggs. I couldn't agree more.

2080
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:09,679
Speaker 4: I couldn't.

2081
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 1: Just people love them, and I'm just like, I just

2082
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:15,680
Speaker 1: want that fuster truck now that Evan cheryldman here, I

2083
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 1: can do one.

2084
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 2: But like some people are like housing like six of them.

2085
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 2: They're like chipmunks. I'm like, how are you eating all

2086
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 2: those eggs right now? That's not gonna Some of you

2087
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 2: guys are just haters, clearly with some pepto bismol. It's

2088
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 2: bubble and you're adult diaper. Yeah, who wins Chiefs? Cowboys tomorrow? Cowboys?

2089
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh that is interesting because I feel like the Chiefs.

2090
01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 2: You would think they turned it on this past week.

2091
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,719
Speaker 2: He gets the Colts, but Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens

2092
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 2: and the way Deck Prescott is slinging it right now.

2093
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if their defense can stop a lick,

2094
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 2: but their offense is looking pretty good.

2095
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, George Pickens, I know he can,

2096
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, make you have to dial up we grow hair, Indy,

2097
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 1: But that dude is talented. I'm gonna stay.

2098
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Kansas City still pulls it off, but

2099
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:01,559
Speaker 2: I think it'll be closer than a lot of people

2100
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:02,000
Speaker 2: think it'll be.

2101
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: So that's why we got tomorrow. I'll start with Lions

2102
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 1: and Packers. Well a little later start time. I saw

2103
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: we're one o'clock. I thought we usually were in the

2104
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock window. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, it's usually

2105
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 1: twelve thirty. I think is usually the kickoff for that one.

2106
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 1: So I mean, aren't you done with your family by then?

2107
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, now, that is?

2108
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 6: That is?

2109
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:20,400
Speaker 3: I was the next Comba.

2110
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:22,680
Speaker 2: I always remember the Lions games starting in Illinois and

2111
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 2: they'd be like eleven thirty and I'm like ironing clothes,

2112
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Speaker 2: getting ready. Oh, the game's on now. I'm like, oh,

2113
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 2: I forgot that, but now yeah, apparently they're going regular

2114
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 2: kicktime and then the night game, I believe is just a.

2115
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 1: Peacock exclusive dial up. No, it's not NBC.

2116
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I thought I heard Mike Rico

2117
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 2: say it on Sunday Night that there was a.

2118
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 1: Should be a scene exclusive. Well, I could be wrong there,

2119
01:37:45,439 --> 01:37:47,719
Speaker 1: by the way, who you are, I'm not you personally,

2120
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,560
Speaker 1: but I feel like that's no, I'm wrong speaking a

2121
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 1: peacock speaking of it looks like it's on NBC. My mistake.

2122
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: It's on NBC and peacock. Okay, there we go. You

2123
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: guys hear Matt Weaver talk about my irish there?

2124
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's doing this because he wants to

2125
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 5: come back on the show and to readjust.

2126
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 1: The pants a little bit there, gosh, man, not due

2127
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 1: to my waist either.

2128
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 2: To be abundantly clear, Jeff, when cluster truck walks in

2129
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 2: the door, you do you agree with Matt Weaver?

2130
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:17,000
Speaker 1: You unbiased individuals? I won't, Giant manhair. Do you think

2131
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: there are teams out there that don't want to see

2132
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,719
Speaker 1: Notre Dame on their side of the bracket?

2133
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 5: No, I think that's true. I mean, anytime you get

2134
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 5: rolling like this, CJ. Carr doesn't look like the new

2135
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 5: starting quarterback anymore. Granted he looked good early, looks like

2136
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,920
Speaker 5: they trust him more. And then Jeremiah loves best player

2137
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 5: in college football right now, I think pound for pound

2138
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,599
Speaker 5: you can go with the Heisman Trophy candidacy, but player

2139
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 5: for player, he's probably the best. So yeah, then when

2140
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 5: you put twenty one points on the board against an

2141
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,919
Speaker 5: opponent without putting your offense out there, that's pretty impressive.

2142
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 4: Maybe that's just as bad as Syracuse is.

2143
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 5: But credit to the special teams and defense at the

2144
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 5: Notre Dame Fighting Iris also offer.

2145
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: I still think Ohio State's brand well off them to

2146
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 1: be the definite favorite when the playoff gets here, but

2147
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: it does have the field of a little bit more

2148
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: open bracket. Like if I said, okay, let's start ranking

2149
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 1: these teams that could win at all, I think you

2150
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 1: could get a lot of disagreement on you know, is

2151
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 1: Indiana definitely right there too? What about Texas A and

2152
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: m is Georgia Alabama? You know, does anybody believe in

2153
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:26,600
Speaker 1: whatever teams that are playing on the first weekend? I mean,

2154
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 1: last year that's what you had. You had Ohio State

2155
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 1: not her name, neither of them got to buy and

2156
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: they made it all the way to the National title Game.

2157
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it just feels like it's got

2158
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of that flavor coming up this year.

2159
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: We still need to do our colts Texans pick. We've

2160
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 1: got Greg Rekstraw here coming up in ten Mark Daikulens

2161
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 1: checking out.

2162
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 6: The Morning Checkdown on ninety three five and one oh

2163
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 6: seven five.

2164
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 1: All Right, we're talking a lot of IU football right

2165
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 1: there with Matt Weaver, but how about some IU basketball

2166
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 1: shout out to the Kenny Powers offspring, Connor and Ryan.

2167
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: That dude is my MVP from last night. The hair

2168
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 1: is a little mofy, it's a little old school. The

2169
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: form on the jump shot might not look picture perfect,

2170
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,679
Speaker 1: but that dude does a lot of little things for Indiana.

2171
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 1: Outstanding defensively last night and really contributed offensively in a

2172
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 1: notable way as well. Guarding the All American PJ. Haggerty

2173
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: did an outstanding job there, and I thought it was

2174
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 1: a defense. I know Indiana shot a million threes early.

2175
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 1: They got to the foul line a bunch, but James,

2176
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:29,839
Speaker 1: we mentioned it on yesterday's show. Kansas State was scoring

2177
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 1: this year and they just get to seventy last night,

2178
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 1: and that was a grind for them to get to seventy.

2179
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: So pretty impressive. Eighty six to sixty nine for Darren

2180
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 1: Debreese's bunch.

2181
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,479
Speaker 5: They were a man undefeated, and they look like they

2182
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 5: have formed an identity of knockdown open shots, shooting a

2183
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 5: three ball very well, and like you mentioned.

2184
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:48,400
Speaker 4: Trying to play some pretty defense.

2185
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: They shot ten threes in the first segment of the game,

2186
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 1: the first four minutes of the game. I mean, I

2187
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: recall several times in the bike Woods and Era of

2188
01:40:56,439 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: them not even getting to ten threes attempted an entire game. There,

2189
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:03,240
Speaker 1: so some spurt ability they definitely have. Shout out to

2190
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: Trent Sisley. I thought the freshman has had a really

2191
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: nice start here his first season in Bloomington. All right,

2192
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,639
Speaker 1: tonight north of the Border, it's a seven thirty tip,

2193
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:16,520
Speaker 1: Mark you said the sister station on WTCHR yep w ALV.

2194
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: I believe and WHR and their sister station will pick up.

2195
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: I think it's ten or eleven Pacer games coming up

2196
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: this season. This will be one of them. Tonight's seven

2197
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 1: thirty tip against a Raptors team, James that I would say,

2198
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: if you make a list of the early first month

2199
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 1: surprises in the NBA, the Raptors are right up there

2200
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 1: with any.

2201
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:34,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

2202
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 5: I'm not just hoping they don't have any surprises like

2203
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:37,600
Speaker 5: I did when I went to Toronto a couple of

2204
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:41,639
Speaker 5: years ago. A speaker caught on head over the court

2205
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 5: and they had to evacuate all the fans and so

2206
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 5: it fell like a bubble game. I stayed and I

2207
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 5: heard Pascal Siakam, who was a Toronto raptor at the time,

2208
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 5: yell at a Pacers player after shut the ball.

2209
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 1: Hell no, that was quite the experience.

2210
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 3: Boy.

2211
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember that. And where was the game where

2212
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:00,680
Speaker 1: you covering? The game was against the Pelicans when there

2213
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 1: was a bat in the arena.

2214
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:03,720
Speaker 4: No, I did not, but I have to ad to

2215
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 4: reference that in my story.

2216
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 5: So yeah, seriously, we were sitting there at the game

2217
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 5: and we started smelling something that it was burning, and

2218
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 5: I'm like, it can be popcorn because it smelled rubbery

2219
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 5: and it was a speaker. We saw this mass exodus

2220
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 5: of people and so they get on the PA announcer

2221
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:19,960
Speaker 5: and they say, hey, everyone's got to evacuate, and this

2222
01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 5: guy courts our tickets.

2223
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 4: He looks at me and says, does that mean us?

2224
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 4: I was like, are you a fan? He's like, yeah, look,

2225
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 4: well you probably.

2226
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 3: Have to leave.

2227
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 5: It's like, I mean, I'm not the fire marshal he

2228
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:31,160
Speaker 5: ever come on Man and they laid it for like

2229
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 5: an hour, and they resumed the game with no fans,

2230
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 5: and it was so eerie and weird, and looking back

2231
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:38,680
Speaker 5: on it, I want to see the Patiers had just

2232
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 5: traded for Tyre's hollibird not too long ago, and Pascal

2233
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:43,400
Speaker 5: Sea outcome was on that court and all their teammates.

2234
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:48,360
Speaker 1: Fascinating look at that. It's quite a little oral history

2235
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:50,759
Speaker 1: right there. From there you go, boy, all right, college

2236
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 1: football this weekend. We know the Bucket game will be

2237
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:55,719
Speaker 1: seven thirty coming up on Friday night from West Lafayette.

2238
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: How about some local smaller school action you Indie for

2239
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,559
Speaker 1: the first time in I believe their school history, they're

2240
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,759
Speaker 1: hosting a second round playoff game. There'll be two o'clock.

2241
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota State. We've got the D three playoffs with the

2242
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:12,759
Speaker 1: Paw and Handover both an action here coming up Saturday

2243
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 1: at one o'clock and Marion they will have dort if

2244
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying that correctly, out of Iowa. That is over

2245
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:22,559
Speaker 1: at Ascension Saint Vincent Field at one oh five. Coming

2246
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: up on Saturday. Notre Dame Stanford. That is a late

2247
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: one ten to thirty kick that is from Palazzo with

2248
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,679
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and Frank Reich's final game as the interim

2249
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: head coach. Only other thing I really had I SA

2250
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 1: State Football Finals, James, anything standing out to you you

2251
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 1: mentioned a little bit earlier Westfield Brownsburg and that rematch.

2252
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:49,960
Speaker 1: Anything from a one A to six A standpoint you're

2253
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to this week in Greg Greg Shaw will

2254
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:53,840
Speaker 1: join us next obviously to talk more about him.

2255
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:55,600
Speaker 5: I want to say this might be one of the

2256
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 5: best seasons in Cascade history. They're probably underdogs against Lore

2257
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 5: considering their resume and who they played throughout the regular

2258
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 5: season and gets to this point. So not the regular

2259
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 5: what is it eight and five, nine to five team,

2260
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 5: whatever it is as far as their schedule, But I

2261
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:13,680
Speaker 5: think the Caske Cadets is a good story and that

2262
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 5: small time, small town vibe never gets old.

2263
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk Cletin Eddrip about it on Monday. That

2264
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 1: was an awesome atmosphere for their semi state game with

2265
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 1: Gibson Southern on Saturday. Really cool to see the shots

2266
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: around their field there. So again, there'll be three A

2267
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:30,959
Speaker 1: that is approximately three o'clock three thirty coming up on Friday.

2268
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the bigger classes. Pioneer South

2269
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 1: Putnam will get us started. I thought I saw kylein

2270
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Ndrip sweet Out yesterday. There's like thirty four kids on

2271

2272
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:46,559
Speaker 1: a former Pioneer player there. So that'll get things started.

2273
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 1: And then two way that'll be the first game on

01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 7: and Christinari, Rob Blackman, Andrew Chernoff, and Mark Boyle. I

2301
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 7: am honored to be part of such a group.

2302
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 1: Well, they are honored to be a part of you

2303
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:34,680
Speaker 1: on that list there, Rake, This is one of my

2304
01:46:34,720 --> 01:46:37,599
Speaker 1: favorite weeks of the year. I know it's a week

2305
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 1: that has your schedule crowded like none other. Last night

2306
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:44,639
Speaker 1: over on the West Side, what does the entire week

2307
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: look like? I believe you've got a college basketball game

2308
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: on Friday. I do so.

2309
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:52,680
Speaker 7: Last night was game one of six for me, not

2310
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:55,760
Speaker 7: counting the Colts on Sunday to tonight as Avon and

2311
01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 7: Plainfield with a season opener, and Plainfield had a chance

2312
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,639
Speaker 7: to do some damage in four A this year. They're

2313
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 7: part of a loaded schedule sectional that Ben Davis is

2314
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 7: a part of Pike maybe the best team in the

2315
01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 7: state and that's in that sectional.

2316
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:07,720
Speaker 3: Two.

2317
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:11,160
Speaker 7: Plainfield is led by Noah Smith. That's gonna go play

2318
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 7: at DePaul for Chris Holtman next year. And as unlikely

2319
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:18,519
Speaker 7: Indiana All Star. Avon's got some young pieces around Gennadiah

2320
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:21,360
Speaker 7: Minnette and a new coach and Corey Taylor who led

2321
01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 7: Ben Davis the state championship game back in twenty twenty four.

2322
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 7: That's tonight's game at seven thirty on my Inde TV.

2323
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,920
Speaker 7: Then on Friday afternoon I will have the Butler Wright

2324
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 7: State game on ESBN Plus. I was great to hear

2325
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:37,479
Speaker 7: Fad model the program early. I'll be catching up with

2326
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 7: Fad coming up on Friday morning before the game and

2327

Speaker 7: six A game at seven o'clock Saturday night.

2330
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 3: Rake.

2331
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 5: When you look at these football matchup, first off, I'll

2332
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:56,880
Speaker 5: back up and say I saw you last night at

2333
01:47:56,920 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 5: bed to get a chance to go over there. You

2334
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 5: were doing your thing on the your ways, but certainly

2335
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 5: a great game we saw last night.

2336
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 7: First of all, you could have come over because of

2337
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 7: the late start of the JV game fair fifty minutes

2338
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 7: a live pregame on television. You would have been welcomed

2339
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 7: to come over and say hello, we're to front a

2340
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 7: headset odd you would not let you leave for ten minutes. Secondarily,

2341
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 7: I did point since you were sitting next to our

2342
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,479
Speaker 7: great mutual friend John Easter mid court. Yes, And I

2343
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 7: went to Jason Thompson since I had a camera guy

2344
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 7: or next me, I said, hey, I said, you see

2345
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,240
Speaker 7: that guy down there, that's James Boyd. Then he pointed.

2346
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 7: I said, no, no, no, that's my buddy, John Easter.

2347
01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,880
Speaker 7: The guy next to him is James Boyce. So we

2348
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:38,519
Speaker 7: got you a congratulatory shout out for your finalist status

2349
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:40,600
Speaker 7: all the broadcast last.

2350
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 1: Night, much appreciation.

2351
01:48:42,680 --> 01:48:44,840
Speaker 7: I thought it was of notes that I pointed out

2352
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 7: two people in the stands that we could get on camera,

2353
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:50,840
Speaker 7: the other one being you know, Jason Gardner's dad who

2354
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 7: flew in from Arizona to watch him play. We didn't

2355
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:57,519
Speaker 7: get Jason Gardner's dad on camera. We got James Boyd

2356
01:48:57,600 --> 01:48:59,520
Speaker 7: on camera. Hashtig priorities.

2357
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 4: There you go. I appreciate that Rick always the consummate pro.

2358
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 5: But looking ahead to this weekend, obviously huge games, legacies

2359
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 5: and the such will be decided.

2360
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:11,160
Speaker 4: For certain programs.

2361
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:15,280
Speaker 5: What are some perhaps underrated storylines we should pay attention to?

2362
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 5: Because I know the big one is Brownsburg trying to

2363
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 5: go back to back and remain undefeated for the second

2364
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:20,559
Speaker 5: trade year.

2365
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 7: You know, I really think we're gonna have five or

2366
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:27,280
Speaker 7: maybe even all six games be pretty competitive. You know.

2367
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 7: The one that you don't think will be just because

2368
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 7: what they have done to virtually everybody else they have

2369
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:37,679
Speaker 7: played is New Pal. I know Marrilvilt got some serious

2370
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 7: talent and serious speed on that team. Can they handle

2371
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:45,640
Speaker 7: the physicality of New Pal and New Pal for what

2372
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 7: they have done? There are two stats that jump off

2373
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 7: the page to me. If they are to win this game,

2374
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 7: they will have beaten a ranked team every round of

2375
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 7: the tournament. That has not been done since we went

2376
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,760
Speaker 7: to an all in tournament format in nineteen eighty five.

2377
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 7: Now I get in five A and six A. Because

2378
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,639
Speaker 7: there's only thirty something teams and ten teams are ranked,

2379
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:13,439
Speaker 7: it's a little easier to do that, but it's still

2380
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,759
Speaker 7: literally the toughest path you could possibly have, and Newpal

2381
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 7: has aced them all so far. Other thing that should

2382
01:50:19,640 --> 01:50:22,600
Speaker 7: tell you the amazing job that Kyle Ralph is in

2383
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 7: a New Pal. If they win, it's the fifth time

2384
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 7: they would have won a championship in undefeated fashion. The

2385
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 7: other two coaches that have done that but right and

2386
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 7: Dick Dellahan. That should get your attention in terms of

2387
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:38,599
Speaker 7: kind of what Kyle has meant in a short amount

2388
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 7: of time to Indiana high school football. But in all

2389
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 7: of these games, you know, you have got communities that

2390
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 7: either have not been there before, communities that have not

2391
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:52,679
Speaker 7: been there in a long time. You have some traditional

2392
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 7: powers like Ron Colly and Dwinger. Who would have thought

2393
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 7: when Ron Kylly beat him three nothing in week one

2394
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,559
Speaker 7: it'd be a state champion and ship rematch. But that's

2395
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 7: where you are in four A. But again, JB, I

2396
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 7: think the overarching theme is I really think at least

2397
01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 7: five of these games should be pretty competitive, one or

2398
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:12,800
Speaker 7: two score games, and you.

2399
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:14,960
Speaker 1: Got me on a Jason Gardner rabbit hole right now.

2400
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he's the third leading scorer all time

2401
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I knew he had a really impressive career there,

2402
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:22,200
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was that high on the list.

2403
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 1: Greg greg Shall, I went to here Payless Slickers hotline rate.

2404
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 1: Just to remind everybody from a viewing standpoint, is I

2405
01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 1: just ATV has got an app, right, you can go

2406
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:34,600
Speaker 1: there and what is it? Is it twenty bucks for

2407
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,679
Speaker 1: the whole for all six games or twenty five bucks

2408
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: something like that.

2409
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:42,679
Speaker 7: Something along those lines, and his IHSAATV do Oregon again,

2410
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 7: what I would suggest is simply buy a weekend patch

2411
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:47,600
Speaker 7: because basically you can buy one game, or for a

2412
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 7: couple of bucks more, you can buy all six games

2413
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 7: and it's a little more consider your Black Friday savings

2414
01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:59,760
Speaker 7: from the IHSAA. So simply put go to ihsaatv dot

2415
01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 7: or it will be easy to follow the prompts.

2416
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:06,080
Speaker 1: Okay, your favorite storyline one A to three A. I

2417
01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 1: know we do a lot obviously, you just mentioned ron Kyllie,

2418
01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:10,120
Speaker 1: you just mentioned new Pal. We get the six A

2419
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:12,880
Speaker 1: rematch with Westfield and Brownsburg. But if we trimmed it

2420
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:14,680
Speaker 1: down to one A, two A, and three A.

2421
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:15,479
Speaker 3: What do you like?

2422
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 7: Cashgade going for a first time jumps off the page

2423
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,760
Speaker 7: at me. And the fact that they, you know, they

2424
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 7: kind of had the stage for themselves. And I love

2425
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 7: the reference that was made. If you had the helicopter,

2426
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:30,560
Speaker 7: the drone would have looked like the end of the

2427
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:33,720
Speaker 7: field of dreams. Everybody trying to get to Cascade High

2428
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:36,639
Speaker 7: School to and from on Saturday night going there. Over

2429
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 7: four thousand folks that were at that game, most if

2430
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 7: not all, of southwestern Hendrix County will be of the

2431
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:47,640
Speaker 7: three A game on Friday afternoon. The other story that

2432
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 7: stands out to me is that Reid May, the head

2433
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 7: coach at Brownstown Central, has been doing this for a

2434
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 7: long time. As over three hundred wins, his winning percentage

2435
01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 7: is somewhere in the eighty five percent range. Brownstown's down

2436
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:01,840
Speaker 7: has been the best team in their league for a

2437
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:04,360
Speaker 7: long time, and they have always been one of the

2438
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 7: two smallest football playing schools in the Mid Southern Conference,

2439
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 7: and here they are finally getting to a state championship game.

2440
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,200
Speaker 7: So it's kind of a career crowning achievement for Reed

2441
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,479
Speaker 7: to be able to bring Browns down Central to a

2442
01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:21,639
Speaker 7: state championship game. And from a South Putnam standpoint, they've

2443
01:53:21,640 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 7: been good for a long time. They've been kind of

2444
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 7: knocking on the door. They running a Lutheran or Providence.

2445
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 7: That was not the case in either situation. This year,

2446
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 7: Providence got beaten by Milon. South Putnham went to mylond

2447
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 7: and handled them rather easily. And I've known Chuck Sorel,

2448
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:40,879
Speaker 7: their head coach, back to his playing days at Franklin

2449
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:42,559
Speaker 7: College twenty five years ago.

2450
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 3: So I am. I'm so happy for Chuck.

2451
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 7: Had a good chance to catch up with him and

2452
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 7: see him on Monday. But I think of one h

2453
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 7: or three those are the immediate things that come to mind.

2454
01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:55,559
Speaker 5: So Rake, I know you don't count it in your

2455
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 5: six games coming up, but you do have a Colts

2456
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:02,680
Speaker 5: game to call. So what are your thoughts on the

2457
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:06,000
Speaker 5: opportunity that awaits against Houston and perhaps how formidable that

2458
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:10,519
Speaker 5: defense is considering the gut wrenching loss the Colts just

2459
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:12,360
Speaker 5: came off of in Kansas City.

2460
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:16,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, quite formidable. And again, and I point this out

2461
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 7: on the postgame show Sunday, that's not the way NFL

2462
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 7: players or coaches think. But maybe this is a recalibration

2463
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,760
Speaker 7: for fans. I'm not saying the way bye bye the

2464
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 7: dream of being the number one seed in the AFC South,

2465
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:30,599
Speaker 7: but now the focuses are remember one seeing the AFC,

2466
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:33,520
Speaker 7: but now the focus is on the AFC South. The

2467
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 7: next two games will determine what the conversation looks like

2468
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 7: for the following four weeks. If the Colts can find

2469
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 7: a way to win against Houston and beat Jacksonville, the

2470
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 7: AFC South is theirs. And now realistically, you're playing for

2471
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:50,760
Speaker 7: a first weekend by you're playing for a second potential

2472
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:53,680
Speaker 7: home game. But now you got to take care of business.

2473
01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:57,320
Speaker 7: And you know, when the season started, I almost think

2474
01:54:57,400 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 7: the overwhelming thought was, hey, if you're in the neighborhood

2475
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:02,600
Speaker 7: of five h underd you've got those four division games

2476
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:06,000
Speaker 7: left of your last six, you win those, you're going

2477
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,160
Speaker 7: to be okay. And that is still the prevailing wisdom,

2478
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 7: even after a much better start than anybody would have anticipated.

2479
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:18,800
Speaker 7: So the finish was obviously disappointing on Sunday afternoon, but

2480
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:21,320
Speaker 7: at the same time, this is one you ultimately got

2481
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 7: to kind of flush quickly because you know Houston's playing

2482
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:27,920
Speaker 7: better football and Jacksonville's playing better football, and if you

2483
01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:31,560
Speaker 7: can win these next two, then maybe we're talking about

2484
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:34,760
Speaker 7: a potentially deep running into the month of January when it.

2485
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 1: Comes to sports in this state. As we go around

2486
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving table, we are very thankful for the one,

2487
01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 1: the only, great great Straw that is abundantly true, and

2488
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:46,720
Speaker 1: he is going to be a busy man in our

2489
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:49,280
Speaker 1: ears and on our television sets coming up here over

2490
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: the next few days. Rake don'o, I'll see you later

2491
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 1: today at Colts, but if not, I'll certainly see you

2492
01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:55,760
Speaker 1: this weekend and see you on Sunday.

2493
01:55:56,720 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 7: All right, Thanks Bell, Let's see you later.

2494
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,560
Speaker 1: A happy Thanksgiving great Greg Shaw. Right there, we'll do

2495
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 1: it one final time here Colts Texans pick. We'll round

2496
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 1: it out.

2497
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 4: Kevin Bell and James Boyd to Mark Dyton.

2498
01:56:08,120 --> 01:56:10,680
Speaker 1: A couple items to get to right here, Mark Dyton,

2499
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 1: let's go ahead of another four pack to Butler wrighte

2500
01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 1: State coming up on saturd Day. Let's just go fast

2501
01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:18,640
Speaker 1: fingers three one seventy two three nine ten seventy. We

2502
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 1: had a text line earlier, We'll go fast fingers. That

2503
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 1: is a two o'clock tip Butler and Wright State from

2504
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 1: Hinkle four pack of tickets, a little Thanksgiving gift. I

2505
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 1: was talking with Scotty statistician Scotti shout out.

2506
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:32,720
Speaker 4: Scotty brought it up.

2507
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 1: Yesterday, Heisman finalist. You know, we obviously feel Fernano Mendoza

2508
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: course will be one. I think Jeremiah Love has earned

2509
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:43,800
Speaker 1: a finalist, so I think they will go to New

2510
01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 1: York no matter what happens here. I was asked, in

2511
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 1: the last time the state of Indiana's produced two finalists,

2512
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 1: He's going nineteen eighty nine, Anthony Thompson the runner up,

2513
01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:58,240
Speaker 1: Tony Rice from Notre Dame finishing fourth that year. That

2514
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 1: would have been Andre where I threw at him. What

2515
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:04,320
Speaker 1: about Purduing Notre Dame if you go back a little

2516
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:06,440
Speaker 1: bit there, and it looks like he's found that out

2517
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 1: back in the sixties, He said, you had a couple

2518
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 1: of seasons sixty eight and sixty six Leroy Keys, Terry

2519
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 1: Hanratty purduing Notre Dame and then oj won that year

2520
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: and then sixty six Steve Spurrier won, Bob Greasy, Nick

2521
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 1: Eddy winning or second and third on that list. Soar

2522
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:29,720
Speaker 1: Air is basically the first time since the year Kevin

2523
01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:31,760
Speaker 1: Bowen was born. Looks like we'll have it here in

2524
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five of a state producing the state of

2525
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 1: Indiana producing two finals, rare air. Indeed, how much do

2526
01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:43,400
Speaker 1: you think team record matters? Because, like I said, the

2527
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:52,240
Speaker 1: best player is Jeremiah Love. I think it should matter

2528
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 1: to a degree. But yes, Love is the best player

2529
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:58,040
Speaker 1: in college football period. I thought Matt Weaver pointed out

2530
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 1: a really accurate statement earlier us it's not a very

2531
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 1: heismany year. You know, when you look at numbers like

2532
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:07,600
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter, yeah, and Ashton Gentz put up last year,

2533
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 1: even quarterback wise, I thought I read somewhere I don't

2534
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:13,600
Speaker 1: know if Mendoza is on pace to get there or not. Mark,

2535
01:58:13,640 --> 01:58:16,040
Speaker 1: will you look up how many passing yards Fronado Mendoza has?

2536
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 1: I thought I read somewhere where it could be the

2537
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 1: first time ever we don't have a three thousand yard

2538
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:25,720
Speaker 1: passer win the Heisman.

2539
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:30,120
Speaker 4: Now currently at two six and forty one.

2540
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: Six one. Well, I guess he's got two more games,

2541
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 1: but he's not.

2542
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 4: Ye he should so possibility he should.

2543
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:40,800
Speaker 1: But you know, again we're used to college quarterbacks, but

2544
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 1: in up four thousand yards frankly for Heisman Trophy winners there,

2545
01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:48,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, that will be something also to keep an

2546
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 1: eye on. All right, let's give our picks Colts and

2547
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 1: Texans coming up here in week twelve. I'm rolling with

2548
01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 1: the Colts.

2549
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 5: They're gonna get back on try against the number two

2550
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:03,800
Speaker 5: scoring defense in the NFL and give it up about

2551
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:04,800
Speaker 5: sixteen points a game.

2552
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 4: I'll say the Colts win twenty four to twenty.

2553
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:12,400
Speaker 1: Mark dykedon. And by the way, the spread, I think

2554
01:59:12,480 --> 01:59:16,200
Speaker 1: it is three three and a half here to drop

2555
01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: oh eight? Has it climbed? I thought it climbed. It

2556
01:59:18,880 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 1: could be wrong. I'm looking up right now. Yes, indeed,

2557
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: mark four and a half over unders forty four and

2558
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:29,680
Speaker 1: a half there, So climbing spread favoring the Colts.

2559
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so we said it the bye week. The level

2560
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 2: of difficulty in the schedule is going to ramp up.

2561
01:59:36,360 --> 01:59:38,960
Speaker 2: The Texans are getting CJ. Straudbeck, Nico Collins has torched

2562
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:42,040
Speaker 2: them in the past. Houston defense is playing on another level.

2563
01:59:42,600 --> 01:59:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm growing concerned about this Colts offensive line. In Daniel

2564
01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 2: Jones's play, I still think they split the season series

2565
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:52,240
Speaker 2: with the Texans. However, I think Houston gets the edge

2566
01:59:52,320 --> 01:59:54,880
Speaker 2: on Sunday and the Colts dropped their third game in.

2567
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 1: The last four.

2568
01:59:56,160 --> 01:59:58,160
Speaker 2: Texans twenty seven Colts twenty three.

2569
01:59:58,280 --> 02:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Interest And the Colts have been much better at home

2570
02:00:03,080 --> 02:00:05,440
Speaker 1: this year. That's something that I want to point out.

2571
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,240
Speaker 1: I think six points better at home than on the

2572
02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:11,160
Speaker 1: road this year. Better yard per carry team, better yard

2573
02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:15,560
Speaker 1: per attempt team. And I just think you have to

2574
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 1: stay away from the game wrecking moments. And if you

2575
02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:21,040
Speaker 1: can do that, I really think Will Anderson Junior and

2576
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:23,920
Speaker 1: or Danil Hunter will have to single handedly make a

2577
02:00:24,120 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 1: seven point type of play for the Texans to pull

2578
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:30,560
Speaker 1: that off. I'm gonna say twenty sixteen Colts. I really

2579
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:33,920
Speaker 1: don't trust Houston's run dye and I still not sold

2580
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:37,520
Speaker 1: on their offensive line. Now the Colts pass rush, that

2581
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:40,440
Speaker 1: remains to be seen, but I think if you're able

2582
02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:43,560
Speaker 1: to let CJ. Stroud enough there, you're able to make

2583
02:00:43,640 --> 02:00:46,280
Speaker 1: some plays. But boy, if it went the way that

2584
02:00:46,400 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 1: Mark is saying, be quite the clinching. As we get

2585
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 1: back in studio here coming up on Monday reminder, the

2586
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Colts responding from the Rams loss very emphatic, and that

2587
02:00:57,920 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 1: response was I think it was Raiders the very next

2588
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers loss that Falcons game easily could

2589
02:01:03,160 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 1: have gone the other way. But yeah, I'll go Colts

2590
02:01:06,320 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, which I guess I am predicting the lowest

2591
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:11,040
Speaker 1: score for the Colts and home game all season long.

2592
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:14,640
Speaker 1: With that, I believe that they've scored twenty in all

2593
02:01:14,680 --> 02:01:17,480
Speaker 1: of their losses. So you're saying they're gonna score twenty

2594
02:01:17,560 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 1: in a win. Yes, twenty Their season low is on Sunday,

2595
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:23,360
Speaker 1: right yep, Kansas City twenty nine is they're low at

2596
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:27,360
Speaker 1: home this year. Iron Eagle JJ Watt on the call

2597
02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 1: of this one again, still need concussion protocol clearance from CJ. Stroud,

2598
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:33,200
Speaker 1: So I'll be something from a Houston side of it

2599
02:01:33,720 --> 02:01:36,560
Speaker 1: to keep in mind, and then we'll keep you updated.

2600
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:39,600
Speaker 1: Coltswid So go walk through today, have an earlier practice

2601
02:01:39,680 --> 02:01:42,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning, go a little bit later on Friday, So

2602
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:46,959
Speaker 1: just a little bit of juggling here with the Thanksgiving holiday.

2603
02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I will say, as far as entertainment value goes, we

2604
