00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 4: It's uh, you know, I'm just sitting here with a

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 4: smile on my face as we're talking about Indiana playing

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: you know, where they talk about the Big Ten championship game,

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 4: the college football playoffs, the semi finalost. Now all of

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,000

00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 4: and being national tamps. So it's a really cool moment

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: for us former players, and I know it's a really

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: cool moment for all of Indiana alumni to be in

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: this position. But yeah, really excited for Monday night.

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Tree.

33
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 5: We can't thank you enough for the time here on

34
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: this Wednesday morning. First, do you, I guess, have you

35
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: met Kurt Signetti at all? And if you have or

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 5: if you haven't, what have been your impressions of the

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 5: job that he has done in less than two years.

38
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: Well, first off, I wanted to reach out to him

39
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: right right when Scott Dolson hired him and brought him in,

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: And of course his introductory press conference made a lot

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: of ripples across college football, or at least across the

42
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: state of Indiana, and then the rest of the nation

43
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: started taking attention to that introductory press conference as the

44
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: last season went a long but one of the one

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: of the first conversation that Kurt and I had, he

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: had reminded me and I and I honestly, i'd forgot

47
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: about it. He had reminded me that he recruited me.

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: He was a quarterback coach at Rice University when I

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: was It was one of his first coaching jobs, not

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: the very first, but one of his first coaching jobs.

51
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: He was the quarterback coach at Rice University.

52
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 4: I was a high school quarterback coming out of Saint Louis.

53
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: Rice was one of the schools that I was looking

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: at because I have an incredible business school and and

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 4: I didn't know that football was going to be my future.

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: I was looking at good business schools and and uh

57
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: that's how I ended up at Indiana, or one of

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: the main reasons I ended up at Indiana. But anyway,

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 4: Rice University was was he was the quarterback coach there.

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: He did not recruit me. He wasn't the recruiter that

61
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: covered the Saint Louis area, but he was the quarterback coach.

62
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: So when I went on my busity, because I took

63
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 4: an official one of my five official visits, I went

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 4: to Rice, and uh, he's and we spent we spent

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: a few hours together, obviously going over tape and watching

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: and he was in his twenties and early twenties, and

67
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: I would have been gods at that point. I probably

68
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: was seventeen maybe eighteen years old. So he reminded me

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: that we had met, and we had met for for

70
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 4: quite some time as he was recruiting me, and then

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: and then of course we you know, had to laugh

72
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: about that and move forward.

73
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: But just what an incredible job he's done.

74
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: It's phenomenal, you know, his evaluation and talent and you

75
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 4: can understand why, you know, he was Nick Saban's recruiting

76
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: coordinator and the talent evaluator for years and years, but

77
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: then he ultimately wanted to, you know, get that opportunity

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: to be a head coach. But it's it's really cool

79
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: to see how far he's come and and just what

80
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: he's done for the program and how he continues to

81
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: build it, you know, in this era of nil and transfers,

82
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: and it's still about getting the right guys. It's still

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: about having the right chemistry. It's still about, you know,

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: you can spend all the money you want, which Indiana

85
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: is nowhere near as high as some of these other programs.

86
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: You've got to find the right chemistry in that locker room.

87
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: And he's done that. Two years in a row.

88
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: Again, we're talking to Trent Green, former IU quarterback, and

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 3: obviously I think you're pretty proud of the current quarterback,

90
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: that one being Frenana Mendoza. I don't know if you

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: have a chance to interact with him at all. I

92
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: did see you give him a shout out on Twitter

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: after he won the Heisman. What's been your impression of

94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: his one season in Bloomington that is now one went

95
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: away from the greatest season in that program's history.

96
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, first off, I don't know Fernando.

97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: I purposely, like just like last year with Rourke, I

98
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: purposely don't reach out during the season. I'm not trying

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: to add any more to their plate. I know they're

100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: getting tugged in a bunch of different directions.

101
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to.

102
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: Meet him after the season, whether it be f NAU

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 4: basketball game when I'm back in town or you know,

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: as he's getting ready for the draft or whatever that

105
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: may be.

106
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Would love and opportun I need to talk to him.

107
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: If that doesn't happen, I'm sure I'll be talking to

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: him at a production meeting for an NFL team sometimes soon,

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: so we will cross pass at some point, but what

110
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: what an incredible job he's done. And I'm gonna be honest,

111
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: it's like a lot of people I didn't I didn't

112
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: know much about Fernando Mendos.

113
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know.

114
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: You know, I don't follow a lot of cal football,

115
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: so I didn't I didn't really know much about him.

116
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: So when they brought him in, uh, and they signed him.

117
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: I remember them saying, you know, hey, this guy's got

118
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 4: a potential to be a first round pick. He's you know,

119
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: he's a guy that can get better. And then, you know,

120
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: the first couple of games of the season, I was like, okay, well, you.

121
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: Know you got to give him.

122
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: You got to give him some time, right because the

123
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 4: offense to me those first few games, even though you

124
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: know they there were, you know, a couple of huge

125
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 4: blowouts in that, I was like, Okay, this offense, it's.

126
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: A work in progress. You got a lot of new guys,

127
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: you got a new quarterback trying.

128
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: To get in connection with his receivers and uh and really,

129
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 4: you know this, this is stating the obvious read.

130
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: That Illinois game is when.

131
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: That offense started clicking and when Fernanda really started kind

132
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 4: of emerging as the Fernando that we see now, and

133
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 4: you can see the confidence.

134
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Grow not only in him but in the guys around

135
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: him on the team. That's what I love, you know.

136
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have made some fun of it.

137
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: I know, I think he's got some quirky interviews right

138
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 4: that we've seen, you know, throughout the course of the season.

139
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: But the guys on the team love him.

140
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: You can see how much his teammates love him and

141
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 4: love what he's all about, and how he is unselfish

142
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: and how he's such a good leader. And then the

143
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 4: quarterback skills obviously go beyond that. So it's really cool

144
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: to see what he has done and how he's grown

145
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 4: this season.

146
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: So trump when as a guy who played in the

147
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: NFL and broadcast NFL games and sees it all when

148
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: you look at his size, his arm strength, the way

149
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: that he operates the team, the way that he conducts

150
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: himself at the line of scrimmage and recognizes things and

151
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: picks things up, and the leadership qualities that you describe,

152
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: what kind of an NFL quarterback do you see him being?

153
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: So all of those things you just said, it was

154
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: like check, check check. I'm like, I'm like those are

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: the things, the qualities that you're looking for.

156
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: You know, the things that jump out.

157
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: He's got the mobility, he's got the leadership, he's got

158
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: the accuracy.

159
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: You can see that his teammates love him, the type

160
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: of leader that he is.

161
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: For him because you know, his to me, like he

162
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: has he has an incredible arm. Right It's like, no

163
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: matter where on the field, he's putting it, like right

164
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: there on the money, it's it's he's incredibly accurate. But

165
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: what I don't see is necessarily, you know, like the

166
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: Josh Allen you know, fastball, I don't see. You know,

167
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: he can he has enough, and he's accurate enough, and

168
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: he's got enough arm velocity, something very similar to me.

169
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: I always heard people tell that say that about me.

170
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: They're like, well, he's got a good enough arm or

171
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: he's got a strong enough arm.

172
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: And I'm like, wait a second, I could throw it,

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, sixty.

174
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: Five yards if I need to, and you know, but

175
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: there's just a difference, you know. I remember going to

176
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: the combine for me, it was Drew bledsoe We're sitting

177
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: there going through the quarterback drills. I saw the ball

178
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 4: come out of his hand as like Oh, that's why

179
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: that guy's the number one overall pick. I don't necessarily

180
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: see that same same explosiveness out of Fernando's like velocity wise,

181
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 4: but you don't.

182
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: You don't need all that.

183
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: So to answer your question, uh, in terms of how

184
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 4: he's going to translate into you know, an NFL player

185
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: or an NFL quarterback, I think he has the potential

186
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: to be to be a great NFL quarterback. It's just

187
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: like so many guys, he needs to have the right system,

188
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: the right coach, someone that you know is running an

189
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: offense that fits really well for him. And I'll and

190
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,479
Speaker 4: I'll use these as examples, just just a couple of examples,

191
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: and it's really a lot of it comes out. Yes,

192
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: you have to have the talent as the player, but

193
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 4: you have to have that.

194
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: That coaching as well.

195
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: Look at what Caleb Williams with the Bears his rookie

196
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 4: year compared to now with Ben Johnson. You bring in

197
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: a coach that knows how to develop quarterbacks and puts

198
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: play calling and and putting quarterbacks in a good situation.

199
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: Caleb is at a phenomen in all second season. Go

200
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: to New England with Drake May his first year they

201
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: only won three or four games he played. Okay, Now,

202
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you know, you bring Josh McDaniels back,

203
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 4: who's developed a lot of quarterbacks, put him in a

204
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 4: good situation. Drake May is probably going to be the

205
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: MVP of the league. So I think it's important to

206
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: Fernando go to the right system in the right situation.

207
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: But I think this guy's the limit for him in

208
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 4: the NFL.

209
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: I think that voice needs stone introduction. Certainly hear it

210
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 5: a lot on CBS. Trent Green, the former IU quarterback.

211
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 5: He's with us here on the Payless Slickers hotline. So

212
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: you said part of the reason why you chose Indiana

213
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: back in the day was because of their business school.

214
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 5: If I and I hate to jog the memory of

215
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: you know whatever thirty years ago or so, but do

216
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: you have some fond Bloomington memories, maybe an establishment or

217
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: two that you enjoyed, or your time in Bloomington kind

218
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 5: of steers what for you?

219
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's I've always held Bloomington and Indiana really close.

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: We get back as much as we can. The main

221
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: thing is that I met my wife there. We met

222
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: when we were juniors. Uh, just twenty years old, and

223
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, so we just have some incredibly

224
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: fond memories when we get a chance to go back.

225
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden, with the uh you know,

226
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: with the with the National Championship game coming up, we're

227
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: gonna we're going to reunite. I've already coordinated with a

228
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: couple of former teammates and their wives that my that

229
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: I was friends with them because their teammates, but then

230
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 4: our our wives now were all friends because they were

231
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 4: the girlfriends back and back in college. So it's really

232
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: cool that that we're all going to be able to

233
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: get together.

234
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: So those are obviously the.

235
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: First things that come to mind, But yeah, there's all

236
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: all kinds of things, you know, the whole Kirkwood thing. Right,

237
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: Buffalois Buffaloies used to be in a duner lot. Now

238
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 4: now Buffalouis is closer to campus.

239
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: He used to be way down. It used to be

240
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: way off.

241
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 4: The beaten paths when I was there, you know obviously,

242
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 4: Well now it's upstairs pub.

243
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: It used to be Hooligans back in the day.

244
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: Uh, Hooligans was was the the lower bar area, and

245
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: then upstairs Pub was was like a smaller one. Now

246
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: Upstairs Pub. I mean we were back. Gosh when were

247
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: we back? It was it would have been last basketball season. Uh,

248
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: and we went in there and.

249
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is this is a completely

250
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: different set up.

251
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:20,119
Speaker 4: But upstairs pub obviously Nick's Kilroy's, you know, uh, Janko's

252
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: Little Zagrebs Janko's.

253
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: That's like that you made the tour, That's the.

254
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: That's like my go to spot because when I came

255
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: there as a as a recruit, Bill Mallory and his

256
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 4: staff that was always where.

257
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: They took the recruits recruiting weekend, and so.

258
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 4: That was I still when I get back, I'm like, hey,

259
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: I got I gotta get over there and uh get

260
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: one of them uh, get one of them stakes or

261
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: maybe a rack of ribs or whatever it is, because

262
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 4: it's uh, it just brings back a lot of nostalgia,

263
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: uh and memories because of you know, some great times there.

264
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: But uh oh yeah, I can't forget Bluebird for live music,

Speaker 1: right exactly. I get I'll give you the Wednesday Night

266
00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: That's that's right.

267
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh man, Hey, you grew up in Iowa. We have

268
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: a prominent athlete here in Indiana now that grew up

269
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 2: in Iowa.

270
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: You big Caitlyn Clarks fan. I am. I am.

271
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 4: I have a daughter that plays college volley or I

272
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: have a daughter of that plays college volleyball. So I've

273
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 4: been a big fan of women's support women's sports and

274
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: supporting women's sports.

275
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: And when you see what Caitlin Clark has.

276
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 4: Done, it was just astonishing to me that the fact

277
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 4: that she dribbles across half court and she can shoot

278
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: from anywhere. I mean, and this is you know, I'm

279
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: going back when she was in college and she obviously

280
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: still does it now, but it's I remember, like this

281
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: can't be real like those those she has. She has

282
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: a Steph Curry like release, she has the accuracy. It's

283
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: really cool to see what she did for for Iowa basketball,

284
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 4: but for women's basketball. And I know there's other women

285
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: that have done it. Listen, I followed you know, Sue

286
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: Bird and and Gino Ariama and what he did at

287
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 4: Yukon and and Pat Summit at Tennessee, and and you know,

288
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 4: women's basketball has been around. I know there's a lot

289
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 4: of this superstar Cheryl Miller. I'm going back in my

290
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: day now, Cheryl Swoops and Cheryl Miller. You know, those

291
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: are the two that really kind of jump out to

292
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: me as women basketball. But Caitlin Clark, uh in this

293
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: new era of athlete has really really kind of captured

294
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: the country by storm. And yes, I'm a If you

295
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 4: can't tell, I'm a fan.

344
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: you know, but.

345
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: It's it's the ticket is in demand, and.

346
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: Rightfully so we need Trent Green at the coin toss

347
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: Monday night, standing across from Ray Lewis.

348
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: Oh, that's that's That's happened many times before. Ask Ray

349
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: how that ended out, as Ray, how that ended up?

350
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: I'm guessing not not the way Ray wanted it to.

351
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: Here's the funny thing, though, is he likes getting up

352
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: with the line of scrimmage and talking, so he uh,

353
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: he would always come up and tight and I would

354
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 4: never make eye contact with him, and it would just irritate.

355
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: The hell out of him.

356
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 4: So I would just kind of like move my head

357
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: and like look around him, and he would try and

358
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: get in a way to make eye contact when he's

359
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: at the line, and and and I did it on

360
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: purpose because I knew how much it irritated him. But uh, right,

361
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: Ray's obviously Hall of Famer and incredible, So yeah, it'll

362
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: be it'll be if I get the chance to catch

363
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: up with him, I definitely will. We we uh, we had,

364
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: We had a few battles over the years.

365
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm taking Is it wise to irritate Ray Lewis when

366
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: he's on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

367
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: When you're a quarterback, that's the only thing you can

368
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 4: do is trying to annoy people like that, Right, It's

369
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 4: not like I can go hit him, It's not like

370
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: I can run him over. It's uh, you know, you

371
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 4: just try and you just try and have a little

372
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: fun with him, or at least I did.

373
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,680
