1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: You were listening to the Best of the Fan morning

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: show on ninety three five and one oh seven five

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: the Fan, Well, Kevin Bowen, James Boyd, Mark Dyke, and

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm jeff Rickard. It's been a lot of fun over

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: the last twelve eighteen months to watch college sports around here.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: So much going on. We had Indiana going to the

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: college football Playoff last year and Kurt Signette making a

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: big splash as he gets here. Seems like every year

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: now Matt Painter is reloading and ready to go deep

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: into an NCAA tournament game. And I was reading over

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: the weekend and really over the last couple of days,

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: like so many expectations on Purdue this year, like maybe

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen, maybe this is the year for Matt Painter.

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: The actually was listening to him was on with John

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Rostein College Basketball. Frankly, just passionate human times a million

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: when it comes to college basketball, and I thought Matt

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: had an interesting comment. He was very candid, saying, no, no, no,

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: this is my best chance to win a national title.

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know how many times you

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: hear a coach say that in early October over uh,

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: but when he offered the why behind that. He pointed

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: to depth he thinks their second five as an NCAA

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: tournament team, and basically he said, we could have an

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: injury and still be in a position where I think

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: we can make a run. Whereas you think about some

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: of those teams, Hummel obviously going down as the poster

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: child of it, you know, even Isaac Haas in the

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: in the tournament now obviously Braining Smith, Trey Coaffman ran,

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: there are probably some on that list that you you

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: indispensable as yes, indispensable, thank you, James Boyd. But they

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: do have in Matt's eyes, some real, real depth. And

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, even in years past it was kind of like, well,

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: you know maybe Heidi, maybe Colvin, and then you feel

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: like it really drops off. So I just thought that was, uh,

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, some candor in which Matt Painter typically is,

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: But that made some sense to me of like, yeah,

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: they're starting five and the returning of the big three

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: of Braden and Lawyer and and Trey Kauffman. Wren speaks

39
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: to herself, but like some real depth that Purdue probably

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: hasn't had as much of here in recent years.

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: It was another interesting I saw a bunch of coaches.

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: College basketball coaches were pulled anonymously James about who they

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: think will be the next coach to get that next title,

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: and far and away the two leading vote getters were

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Kelvin Sampson and Matt Painter, and a lot of people

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: were just saying, like, man, I really hope it's Matt Painter.

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: That guy is a great coach. He's a great human being,

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: always has good rosters, always does things the right way.

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: I hope he's the guy that gets it next.

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, like Kevin said, they have a good shot

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: to do it this year. But college basketball kind of

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: like you know how the NFL is with football, or

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: even in college football, it's one and done. You get

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: to the tournament, man, and on any given day you

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: can go down or you could be advancing. So you

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: feel common about your team, you should because you have

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 3: Braden Smith. I believe, if not the best friend in

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 3: the country, is certainly the best player in the Big Ten,

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: and somebody who can lead this group. And as Kevin

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: has said, pretty much all you know, since this came out,

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: you have a chance to since the schedule came out,

62
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: you got a chance to play a final four here

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis kind of in your own backyard. So could

64
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: that be an opportunity for you to you know, then

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: move further and try to get back to a national

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: title game.

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: And Matt said, We're not going to hide from that

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: with our team, like I'm gonna dress that. Yeah, with

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: that team. And I don't know, maybe the fact that

70
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: you have three dudes that have played what well over

71
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: one hundred games and started one hundred games in the

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: Big Ten, maybe that gives you comfort in that. But

73
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: he's like, no, no, no, we you know, we have

74
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: a mature group. We're going to point that out and

75
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: we feel like we've got the horses to you know,

76
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: be there in April. So makes sense. But you know,

77
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: anytime Matt Pender talks, I'm always all years and listening

78
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: to how he describes a team that I think will

79
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: be one of the best, if not the best, in

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: all college of basketball.

81
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: Is Braden Smith the best point guard they've ever had?

82
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

83
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah, pure point guard.

84
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

85
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, Helly's one of the top.

86
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: I was gonna say three the short list of players it,

87
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: but I mean he's ever to put on a uniform. Yeah,

88
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: He's special, and I think that's the one thing obviously

89
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: most players are missing in that national championship.

90
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: All right, So speaking of college basketball, it returns to

91
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the fan this this winter, as we'll have Butler basketball

92
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: on any night that doesn't feature the Indiana Pacers. If

93
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: there's a conflict, then you'll be able to go to Fuego,

94
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: which is our very it's a blow torchy big signal.

95
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: It is a Spanish language radio station that we have

96
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: here in the building. We'll tell you more about that

97
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: and give you all the details because we.

98
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: Go anchor describing Reggie Miller back in the nineties.

99
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Butler and FO. Yeah, so if they're not on the

100
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: fan there in Fuego, well, how that works.

101
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: Bad Model would love for his team to be that,

102
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: I would say, behind the arc this.

103
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're looking forward to that now. College football, as

104
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: we mentioned, huge game for Indiana. They're taking on the

105
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: number three team in the country in Oregon this Saturday.

106
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: They are the number seven team in the country. And

107
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: I know we had big games last year against Ohio State.

108
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: I know that they played Oregon last year. I know

109
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: that they had a college football playoff game. Where in

110
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: that hierarchy would you rank the importance of this football

111
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: game for Kurtzignetti and his team.

112
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Well, no game against Oregon last year. This this is

113
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: the first matchup with with Oregon. Yeah, I mean from

114
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: a regular season hype standpoint, I would probably even put

115
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: it above Ohio State because I think at the point

116
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: of the season when Ohio State showed up on the schedule,

117
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: I know that there was a lot of drama that

118
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: played out, but you still could lose that game and

119
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: get in You know, this is still early enough in

120
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: the season to where you know you have some ramifications

121
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: with this game, like if you win it, or you're

122
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: now in position for a home game in the playoff

123
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 2: easily maybe even the Big Ten title here at Lucas

124
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: Oil Stadium. So yeah, this one, I don't know. This

125
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: one I would put a little bit higher than the

126
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: Ohio State game, obviously the playoff game against Notre Dame.

127
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: Anytime you're in a one and done format, that kind

128
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: of speaks for itself. And I'll go back to what

129
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: I said earlier about the heisman aspect to it. You know,

130
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: Dante Moore for Nano Mendoza. Any heisman lists you look

131
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: at right now, there are two of the top four

132
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: or five guys on it, so I would put that

133
00:05:59,360 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: in there as well.

134
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: And nuts, you're talking about the Heisman with an Indiana quarterback.

135
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: Times have changed, but he's earned it. I mean, he's

136
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: played really good football. They got a you know, a

137
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: gutty win a couple of weeks ago in Kinnick Stadium

138
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: beat in Iowa, which is always a hard place to play.

139
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: And I think you've seen a little bit of everything

140
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: from this IU team so far. You know, you show

141
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: the greediness against the Hawkeyes, and then you saw the

142
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: beat down against Illinois and you know, unsatisfaction with all

143
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: of it. With coach Sig it seems like he's never

144
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: really gonna relax until they probably hoist the trophy of

145
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: some sort at the end of the year. But nevertheless,

146
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: it should be a very good matchup. And I'm curious

147
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: to see how that environment on the road is because

148
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: if this were, you know, down in Bloomington, I might

149
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: feel differently about the matchup. But that's a hard place

150
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: to play and certainly a huge game against a very

151
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: good team, I mean Oregon. Dan Lanning, I like what

152
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: he does. He seems very intense. You know, he's he's

153
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: wired differently. So if you want a test, you got

154
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: one coming on Saturday.

155
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: Let's be real, even if they won the national championship,

156
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 5: Sig would have a recruiting trick very next.

157
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: Day, probably maybe even right after the game. He'd be

158
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: fly right out. But we did find something that Kurtz

159
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: Signetty likes and he's and he seems to enjoy watching,

160
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and that seems to be Oregon on film at this

161
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: point in time.

162
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 6: Great opponent, great team, a lot of great players, extremely

163
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 6: well coached, big fast, athletic, physical depth. Coach Lanning done

164
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 6: a tremendous job recruiting, development, pretension, probably one of the

165
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 6: most impressive young coaching phenoms to come around. While I

166
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 6: would say haven't been in this game for a little bit.

167
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 6: They're a great football team.

168
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Apparently he likes him some Oregon Ducks right there. Him up,

169
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Pop him up, build him up.

170
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: I don't think you really have to build him up.

171
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: Have you seen what they've done the last couple of years.

172
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: That is a great program. And similar to kind of

173
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: how we're talking about, we're Purdue basketball. They're just looking

174
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: for the national championship at this point. That's the one

175
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: thing that they don't have, and so this could be

176
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: their best shot to go try to win it this year.

177
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: And shout out to Westfield's Stone Theeneman for those at

178
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 2: watch the Penn State game, had you know, a huge

179
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: interception in that game. He was at Purdue last year,

180
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: transferred over to Oregon. Not some highly ranked recruit by

181
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: any means, and you know, obviously had plenty of moments

182
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: at Purdue and now he's on even a bigger stage

183
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: there for Oregon. So you don't think of many Indiana

184
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: ties to the Oregon football program, but that's certainly one

185
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: of them. He's he's done really well out there for

186
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: that defense. In general, Oregon is a relatively young team. Now,

187
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: granted they went to Happy Valley and handled that environment

188
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: quite quite wild out and they are also coming off

189
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: the bye week. Both teams coming off the buy here

190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: and again we'll see about the weather. I you know,

191
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: Indiana has run the ball very well this season. But

192
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: you know, Signetty pointed out, you know, Oregon is a

193
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: much bigger football team the trenches, So does that favor

194
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more of organ if it is in

195
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: clement weather, That'll be something to keep an eye on

196
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: all right.

197
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: There's a great mutual admiration society going on there because

198
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning at his press conference this week was throwing

199
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: the flowers right back to Kurt Signetty.

200
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 7: This offense, when you watch it, it has an identity. You

201
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 7: know you're going to see the same play ran a

202
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 7: couple times. The window dressing might be different, but they

203
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 7: know how to run this play. It's not about inventing

204
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 7: new offense. It's about running it better than you and

205
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 7: execute it better than you. And they do a really

206
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 7: good job of that. And then they do enough of

207
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 7: that to where you think, Okay, this is what it's

208
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 7: going to be. And then they throw a wrinkle in

209
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 7: there and it is different. So he's playing in an

210
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 7: offense that clearly has an identity, and he's playing around

211
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 7: really good players.

212
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Like that, an offense that clearly has an identity. That's

213
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: one coach looking at another coach's film Kevin and going, oh,

214
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: I see what that philosophy is. And they do it well.

215
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: But coaches like to see stuff like that.

216
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: Two very intense dudes, two dudes that if you were

217
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: going to say the best coaches in college football right now,

218
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you get very far in the list

219
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: before you're naming those two, So can't wait three point thirty.

220
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: You'll get your brad Nessler Gary Danielson crew for this

221
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: one again CBS Indiana about a touchdown underdog and again

222
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: we'll see just on the road. Like if there's I mean,

223
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: Signetti has done wonders, wonders he would even admit this

224
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: is now the next question. Can we go on the road?

225
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: High high, high quality team? He pointed out in his

226
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: press conference. He's like, I know everyone talks about us

227
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: getting out played in the trenches against Ohio State and

228
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. He's like, we got beat up everywhere. We

229
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: got outplayed at every position. So that's kind of the

230
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: next question. It's like, you've proven yourself to be a

231
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: legit whatever, top ten, top fifteen team. Now it's like,

232
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: are you going up another tier? And I think Saturday

233
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: is quite the test in that it's.

234
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: Gonna be a lot of fun on a college football sad.

235
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: It gonna be a lot to watch. I mean, North

236
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Carolina State don't play around with that football team. Notre

237
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Dame should win that, and I think they should win

238
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: that fairly comfortably. But North Carolina State, they'll jump up

239
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: and get a few teams here and there.

240
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Boy, I can't lie and try to compare Notre Dame

241
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: Inncy State to Indiana Oreon.

242
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying there's

243
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: entertaining football to be watch. So that's all I'm saying.

244
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: Correct, and one game is probably infinitely more entertaining than

245
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: the other.

246
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: You he will not get excited about Notre Dame. I'm

247
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: try it.

248
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: I mean I try that He's gonna watch the game

249
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: much more excited.

250
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: Speaking to the audience.

251
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: Here, I'm just trying to give you a little Notre

252
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Dame platform.

253
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: The one hundred people that are listening right now, and

254
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: ninety nine of them would rather watch Indiana and Oregon absolutely,

255
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: and Ryan Bowen is the only one that is with

256
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: me that would rather watch.

257
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: And I'm giving you and Ryan Boone a little respect,

258
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.

259
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: Shout out to the great Ryder.

260
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: There you go. Oh my goodness, some guys. I would

261
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: switch over to the NFL now It's Fan Morning Show

262
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: in ninety three five one O seven to five to

263
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: the fan along with James Boyd, Kevin bow and I'm

264
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: jeff Rickard Mark Dyton on the other side, waiting for

265
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: all of us to say something even remotely useful to

266
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: him that could be taking out of context.

267
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: He does have kept me busy this segment alone.

268
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: That's what we do.

269
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: Mark clip clipped that.

270
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: But a couple of things, two big stories, I thought, yes, Shad.

271
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: The biggest one, of course, Joe Flacco getting traded by

272
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns to the Cincinnati Bengal is a last

273
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: desperate attempt James for the Bengals to try and keep

274
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: their sieves alive and at least give Joe Burrow some

275
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: incentive to come back this year.

276
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe fleccol has not played good football this year

277
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: at all, so I'm very curious see how he looks

278
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: behind a Bengals offensive line that is not good. He's

279
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: forty himself, so don't imagine much scrambling. So he's in

280
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: a great position where he gets traded and his job

281
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: is just to just throw it to t Higgins and

282
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and you know, hopefully he scored some points.

283
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, two touchdowns, six picks this year. He has

284
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: not played good football, so I was a bit surprising

285
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: to me they went after him. I want it Jamis.

286
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: I want it Jamis throwing to t and yea of

287
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: New York, and I wanted the sermons afterwards and all

288
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: the theatrics and all the speeches because Joe, I mean,

289
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: I've seen this movie before. He's gonna go I'm serious,

290
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 3: He's gonna go over there to Cincinnati. He's gonna throw

291
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: the ball a ton, get a lot of yard, score

292
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: some points, and then turn the ball over at high rate.

293
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: That's what he's done throughout his career.

294
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: Killed behind that offensive line.

295
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean, but that's what has happened. I don't know

296
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: people who are like, oh my gosh, they got Joe Flacco.

297
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: That ain't changing nothing for them.

298
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: To me, nothing. We got a month till the trade deadline.

299
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: I wanted some team will give us Jameis right, I

300
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: mean we still have a month to go. Yeah, I

301
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: know some team will give us.

302
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: Jamis is a comedian as far as I'm concerned, So

303
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: give the comedian one more side. Greatness doesn't happen very often.

304
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: Thirty and thirty.

305
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 2: He gave you If Dansel Jones suffered a season ending

306
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: injury tomorrow, would they try and get Jamis or did

307
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: they roll with Anthemy.

308
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: Oh, let's not put that juju out there.

309
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: But it was Kevin Bowen that said that, by the way,

310
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 5: let's just put that on.

311
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, but I will say you probably have to

312
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: go out and get a better passage. Yes, I seriously

313
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: would consider that.

314
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you like to just have a camera in the

315
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 5: quarterback room of the Giants where you have Jamis spouting

316
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 5: off on whatever, Russell Wilson talking all kinds of trying

317
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 5: to learn his way.

318
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: They do have a unique quarterback room. So jamis still

319
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: the third stringer? Is he still the emergency QB?

320
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

321
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 3: I believe now with this.

322
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: Trade, should there Sanders becomes the backup.

323
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 3: Did you see they had a track it down at

324
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: a car dealership. I guess he's going to promore or

325
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: something on his day off, and they got him at

326
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: the end. I mean, he gave a very professional answer journalists.

327
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, I respected it. But I also think that

328
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: it's so funny that you're doing all this for like

329
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: the backup quarterback. Uh, I guess he's QB two. We'll

330
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: see what happens, but yeah, he can be won't play

331
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: away for a long time in this league.

332
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterback injuries, we'll see about Kyler Murray today

333
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: again foot issue exiting that game with Tennessee. And there's

334
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: two questions. One, is Kyler good enough to play? That's

335
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: the obvious one coming up on Sunday, but also too

336
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: how effective is he? Is he Kyler the pocket passer

337
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: or is he Kyler the dynamic dual threat guy? Is

338
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: that those are two very very different situations. You put

339
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: a five to ten dude back there as a pocket passer,

340
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: you think it. Forest Buckner and Grover Stewart are gonna

341
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: be batting some balls down or some balls up in

342
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: the air for a laou lat too to pick off.

343
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: So I think that's a big, big storyline. I know

344
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: the Colds have some injury questions for today at their

345
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: first practice of the week, but I would argue Arizona's

346
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: got the biggest one in regards to their quarterback. And yes,

347
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: if Kyler Murray for some reason can't go or gets

348
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: hurt in the game, as we saw on Sunday, Jacoby

349
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: Brissett senor Brissette back inside of Lucosolo State, we get

350
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: tribute video for Jacoby on Sunday, just.

351
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: A nice, really big ovation at the beginning, I think.

352
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 5: It's thirty QB snakes as an opposing quarterback ever banged

353
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 5: the anvil before?

354
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Would we do that?

355
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? If there's a one that

356
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: was over gonna do it, Peyton, Peyton in twenty thirteen

357
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: should have been that guy.

358
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: Right.

359
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: The way that Mark's brain works is elite.

360
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: The anvil, then run out the tunnel. That'd be awesome

361
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: in full uniform.

362
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: Come on now, he already has the ear piece in

363
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: as he's banging the anvil, U dot helmet.

364
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: And knowz lea get like a thirty second interview with

365
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: him right before he bangs the nvil. Do that? I

366
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: like it. I'm impressed with that. You guys see Odell

367
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. I didn't even know he was still trying

368
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: to play football. Do you see he's accepted a six

369
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: game suspension for pedus.

370
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw him on the Pivot podcast.

371
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: He's accepted it as I guess.

372
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: Appealing it that's probably what you would do. But yeah,

373
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: I mean that he had a clip where he was

374
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: talking about how he you know, failed himself. Wasn't a

375
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: discipline as supposed to And you know, sometimes when you

376
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 3: have these incidents happen. I know when it happened with

377
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: Grover Stewart, the Colts defensive tackle a couple of years ago,

378
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 3: he genuinely said, I didn't know that I violated the rules.

379
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: And honestly, I think when it came out Kevin he

380
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: took something that was like very close to the same

381
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: name as something else that was legal or something of

382
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: that nature, and so you could kind of see, Okay,

383
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: this is you know, or maybe I'm getting that mixed

384
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: up actually with Bobby Portous, I want to say for

385
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: the Bucks who had that happened to him in the NBA.

386
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: Nevertheless, Mark Sanchez might oh might need to explore.

387
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: Here, but yeah, I just don't understand the whole like

388
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: he never really denied it. And then also he's what

389
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: year is It's twenty twenty five. The when was the

390
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 3: three finger catch that he made? How many years ago?

391
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: Got like twenty eighteen.

392
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's no longer that player. He's not close to

393
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: that player. And honestly I saw that and I was like, well,

394
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: who cares, Like you're probably done playing football.

395
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: This is from Mark. We're talking about Kurt Signetti and

396
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: Dan Lanning. Mark with a K here from Virginia. He

397
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: goes is the IU Oregon game, the game between the

398
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: two coaches that every college football team would want. Now

399
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: he throws in there. Besides maybe Ohio State and Georgia.

400
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: I would argue Notre Dame as well with Marcus Freeman

401
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 2: feels very comfortable with their situation. Ohio State, Georgia, Notre

402
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: Dame probably the only three teams I wouldn't ta Kurt

403
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 2: SIGNETI or Dan Lanning, Right.

404
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: I think Alabama's growing comfortable with Kaylyndbor. You think those first.

405
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: Two two games that is absolutely premature, you know what, right?

406
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, No.

407
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: He's a good football coach. I think he's going to

408
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: be okay there, that's my thought.

409
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 5: But I think North Carolina is locked in on Bill

410
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 5: Belichick for the long term. They might sign.

411
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: I saw they.

412
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: Canceled the Hulu special or whatever, and I'm like, man,

413
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 3: I really want to watch that, just crashing out.

414
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: I was pissed when I saw that they did.

415
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: They have the weird thing on the weekend where it

416
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: was like they weren't going to post anything about Drake

417
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 3: my Patriots related until they got some pressure from the public,

418
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: and it was like all of a sudden, A full

419
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: day later, here is Drake May highlights, you know, from

420
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: a great, great win on Sunday Night.

421
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 5: So it's a level of petty that I feel like

422
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 5: James would be at, but not yet.

423
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: But I'm like, for a man accomplishes him, it's like brother,

424
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: he is letting go.

425
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: Belichick pettier than James.

426
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. They pulled the plug on that Hulu documentary too

427
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know all of it together.

428
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: It's Bill Belichick. I can't see. I was talking to

429
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: somebody there yesterday about how much money it would cost

430
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: them to let him go, about twenty million dollars, which

431
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: I guess into age is not huge. But he could

432
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: buy himself out for a million dollars after this season.

433
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: But I can't really think of many other school I

434
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: mean you could, I don't know where else you would

435
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: go at Texas with Sark. I mean, I think Dan

436
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: Lanny and kurtz Signetti are kind of looked at. I mean,

437
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: obviously ages they're very very different and their backgrounds are

438
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: very very different. But you know, I've watched a lot

439
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: of Kurt Signetti press conferences here over the last couple

440
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: of years. He ain't calling the opposing head coach a

441
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: young coaching phenom and many of them phenom. That's a

442
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: big old word. And Dan Lanny had a lot of

443
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: praise as well. So another great great angle Saturday.

444
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: What about Lane kiffinillle miss.

445
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: I do like me some Lane, but still.

446
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 3: I liked how petty he is. That's somebody who is

447
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 3: He leans into all of the college football antics. He

448
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: leans into that, so I enjoy I think he should

449
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: always stay in college football. That guy is hilarious, a

450
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: good coach.

451
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: Here you go on the text line, Kevin, just for you,

452
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: Chris says, let's go Irish.

453
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: See.

454
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting all the Notre Dame people fired up today. Kevin.

455
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to do.

456
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: Chris, I love you.

457
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: That's a burner account. That's actually Kevin talking to himself again.

458
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: James, anything on the Michael Badsley front you found interesting

459
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: for an audience that hasn't been listening this morning. The

460
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: new Colts kicker a familiar face within the organization.

461
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: Well, his nickname is the money Badger, the money You

462
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: explained that to me because I was not around for

463
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: this era of Michael.

464
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

465
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: So honestly, he was a Lions kicker, probably most notably

466
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: Chargers is where he got his start, and that's where

467
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: the overlap me.

468
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 3: I know, I've seen the history of like where he played,

469
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: about the where'd the nick nickname come from?

470
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, he kicked a fifty three

471
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: yard er to win a game. I forget when it was.

472
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: I think obviously this was a little honey Badger was

473
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: at the time also prominent, so it kind of made sense.

474
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: I feel like we're always looking for kicker nicknames. But

475
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: you know, one thing to note too. While there are

476
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: some questions about length, you know, fifty yards he's five

477
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: or thirteen in his career, questions about where exactly he's

478
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: at physically after tearing the hamstring last year, he has

479
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: kicked and kicked very well. I should note in playoff

480
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: games five playoff games, I want to say combined, if

481
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: you include the extra points, I want to say, it's

482
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: like twenty one of twenty two. So you know, there

483
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: there's you know, go back to what we said earlier,

484
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: there's always going to be warts. When you make the

485
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: end season kicker signing, there's always warts. Can you make

486
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: sure the warts are, you know, just on the butt

487
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: for nobody to see.

488
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: Always feels like with kickers though too. Mark miss that

489
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: when he's writing something down over there. Oh no, I've

490
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: got it.

491
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: He missed. Was that a good one or a bad one?

492
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: Pretty good?

493
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: I liked that, Yeah, as opposed to you don't like

494
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: the face or you know or you know, hands are

495
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: somewhere else.

496
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: I always feel like with kickers, though. Some kickers they'll

497
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: they'll bounce around here and there, but every once in

498
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: a while they just get into that groove for a while, right,

499
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: and they'll play. They'll play really well, and they'll kick

500
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: outstanding percentages and everything else for about a year, a

501
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: year and a half, maybe two years, and all of

502
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: a sudden is like a golfer just loses his swing

503
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: and can't get it back. Kevin, I wonder if Badgerly

504
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys you just need to get

505
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: him on a on a little bit of a groove here.

506
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: Oh, he's just got to get back to kicking. I mean,

507
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: the dude who's not kicked in an NFL game in

508
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: six hundred and twenty some days, I mean, that's that's

509
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: a real He tore his hamstring right before the start

510
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: of last season during training camp, right Mark the Lions

511
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: kicker Jake Bates. Isn't that right?

512
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 4: Yep?

513
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: Mm hm, it was gonna be him and Jake Bates

514
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: in a competition. Bits has turned out to be a

515
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: hell of a kicker coming over here. So for those

516
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: that were curious about not Rego blanken Chip, he was

517
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: not one of the eight tryout kickers for the Colts.

518
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: Here here's one last little tidbit before we go to

519
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: break about the kicking operations. So we did get some

520
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 3: information about the backups, and so according to the Special

521
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 3: Teams cordator Brian Mason, former coach at Notre Dame, he

522
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: mentioned that the backup long snappers would be Drew Oglestree

523
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: and Tyler Warn mister do it all. And then the

524
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: backup holder would be the normal long snapper, Luke Rhoades,

525
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 3: and then the backup kicker will be Rego Bertha Rigoberto Sanchez.

526
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: And so that was interesting to me. I'll tweeted that out.

527
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 3: People were like, what was everyone switching position? And who

528
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 3: can you know? This sounds like an awful idea. It's

529
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: like this is the emergency break. This isn't Plan A

530
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: or you know, Plan B. It's literally like, let's just

531
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: get through a game, and so I found it interesting.

532
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: And Mason was adamant yesterday the most important part of

533
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: the operation is the hold. And Luke Rhodes has been

534
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: on the hands team for X amount of years, so

535
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: he was like, you can screw up the snap, you

536
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: can't screw up the hold. So if the snap is errant,

537
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: we've got to get that hold down. And he's like,

538
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: it's not just a given. Your backup quarterback or whatever.

539
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: Josh Downs can spin it correctly. So it was very

540
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: nerdy special teams talk from Brian Mason yesterday, But actually

541
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: I thoroughly enjoy listening to him. I think it's great,

542
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: great detail whenever he talks.

543
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: Coming up next to Steven Older stops by talk a

544
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: little bit more about the Colts. Pature's played their first

545
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: preseason game last night. We'll get back into that. A

546
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: lot going on here on Wednesdays ninety three five and

547
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: one O seven five the fan.

548
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: Can you make sure the warts are, you know, just

549
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: on the butt for nobody to see.

550
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: He might have another top of balls. Ah, you hear?

551
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: That must be time for a little Colts talking on

552
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: Wednesday morning. Stevenholder from ESPN dot com stops by on

553
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: the pay Less Liquors Hotline, as he does want to

554
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: do every Wednesday morning. Here, good morning, mister Holder. How's

555
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: your week going so far?

556
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: Uh?

557
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 8: Busy, But that's what tends to happen in the NFL season,

558
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 8: So all good, So the.

559
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: Holder, let's start here. Familiar face coming back on the

560
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: kicking side with Michael Bagley. So what can you tell

561
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 3: us about the addition of him and sort of trying

562
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: to fill that hole that special Strader now has left

563
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: after getting injured in Sunday's game.

564
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 8: Well it's not ideal, right, I mean, they've certainly gotten

565
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 8: themselves a veteran, so you know he won't be phased

566
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 8: by difficult circumstances and things like that. But but you know,

567
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 8: Spencer Strader was, he was rolling to be completely honest

568
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 8: and you know what they had going there. I don't

569
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 8: know that they will be able to duplicate that with

570
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 8: Michael Badgeley. And I think ten of fourteen so far

571
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 8: for Spencer Trader, he was leading the NFL in made

572
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 8: field goals and I think that comfort for Saint stikeens

573
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 8: He's going to lose.

574
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: Some of that.

575
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 8: And the thing that I think people should pay attention

576
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 8: to most is excuse me? Is this is going to change?

577
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 8: I think his fourth down approach a little bit. You know,

578
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 8: when you look at Badsley's accuracy beyond fifty yards or

579
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 8: fifty and beyond not great. I think he's what five

580
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 8: of thirteen in his career, and he's not thirty years old,

581
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 8: so he's not as young as he used to be.

582
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 8: So you know what is going to be Shane Stiken's

583
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 8: confidence level when he gets into that that midfield or

584
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 8: just plus now in the opponent territory range, and you

585
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 8: get into these fourth down situations, How does that impact

586
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 8: his play calling?

587
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: I think it will.

588
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a really good point. Stevenholder from

589
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: ESPN with US year Payless Slickers Hotline Colts back to

590
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: practice today right round a touchdown favorite heading into Sunday

591
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: with the Arizona Cardinals. Stephen, your colleague Adam Schefter said

592
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: yesterday that he thinks by the time the trade deadline arrives,

593
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: which I want to say is like November second or third,

594
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 2: that he sees right around a dozen trades in the NFL.

595
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: We saw a couple of them yesterday. In season trades

596
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: have never been a thing for Chris Ballard. If you

597
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: had to look at one position that you could see

598
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: them potentially exploring for a trade in the next few weeks.

599
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: What would that be.

600
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: To acquire or give away, I guess, or either.

601
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: Let's let's call them a buyer to apply.

602
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 4: I think that's true.

603
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say secondary is fluid. The secondary, the

604
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 8: defensive backfield, it's fluid. I'm not saying today that they

605
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 8: feel the trade is necessary, but I think it is

606
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 8: definitely fluid. And I mean there's been changes already in

607
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 8: that in that area. My children going on IR is notable.

608
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 8: I just I think we got to see how this

609
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 8: plays out in the next week to two weeks, and

610
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 8: there may be a need to at least consider it,

611
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 8: you know, because I think that's an area right now

612
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: where they're vulnerable.

613
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 4: They just are.

614
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 8: They're also vulnerable at linebacker, and we've talked about this

615
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 8: a lot. They're able to cover it up, or have

616
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 8: been so far, but is that how they want to live?

617
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 8: I mean that that position, it's this is not shocking.

618
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 8: We said this going into the season that that would

619
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 8: be problematic and it has been. And that's why they've

620
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 8: already made moves there, they've had they've had a couple

621
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 8: of claims, they've had a signing they you know, they

622
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 8: have I think confirmed our criticisms, you know, were given

623
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 8: given credence to our criticisms by you know, making consistent

624
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 8: moves at linebacker, trying to find some consistency holder.

625
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 3: Just to pivot a bit to I guess one of

626
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 3: the more positive parts of that defense Latu. I know

627
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 3: you believe they're a piece on him. Just recently, what

628
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: have you thought about the growth he's shown in year two?

629
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 3: And I mean everywhere I look, whether it's at the

630
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 3: athletic or ESPN, he's up there when it comes to

631
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 3: pressures and splash play rate, meaning you know the amount

632
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: of times he's able to, you know, make a play

633
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 3: that impacts the game. So how would you assess his

634
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: performance so far with two interceptions but just one sack

635
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 3: on the season.

636
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think you can really measure his his

637
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 8: performance with just the sacks right now because they aren't there.

638
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 8: There's no question, right one sack is not going to

639
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 8: get anybody excited after five games. And I also understand why,

640
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 8: as a as a fan, you would look at that

641
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 8: and be like, give me a break like, how are

642
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 8: you guys pumping this guy up? But I think that's

643
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 8: why you got to watch the tape. And if you

644
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 8: watch him play, and I know you have, right, you

645
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 8: see a guy who is impacting the game.

646
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: Can he do more?

647
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 8: Yes, of course you can finish those plays and get

648
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 8: the sack, But there have been at least two or

649
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 8: three other sacks that have come as a direct result

650
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 8: of Latu Latsu doing his part and creating the initial pressure.

651
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 8: So ultimately it's a team game, and if someone else

652
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 8: gets the sack, you know, it probably doesn't do a

653
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 8: lot for your contract negotiations in the future, but currently helps,

654
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 8: you know, helps the Colts win ultimately. And I think

655
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 8: he's creating plenty of disruption right now. I also would say,

656
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 8: and Luanna Roumo has made this point. He's played well

657
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 8: in terms of the other areas. It's not just rushing

658
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 8: the passer. Obviously, he is now, you know, affecting the

659
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 8: passing games in other ways with the two interceptions and

660
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 8: dropping in the coverage, but that's not his main gig.

661
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 8: He has been a good edge setter and helped stop

662
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 8: the run. That's just as important, all right, Probably half

663
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 8: the plays you're going to play or are going to

664
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 8: be running plays, so that matters just as much. And

665
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 8: he's done a good job there. And finally, I'll just

666
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 8: say this, the one thing he pointed out to me

667
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 8: is that he's playing with more power and get he

668
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 8: got stronger over the offseason and whatever that is, whether

669
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 8: it's stopping the run or rushing the passer, playing with

670
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 8: more power is going to help you big time. And

671
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 8: I can really see that in his game right now.

672
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny to watch this Colts team mature

673
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: and go four and one, and just about every area

674
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: of the team has had its success at times this year.

675
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: We talked about the defensive line just a moment ago.

676
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: They're getting better, and obviously the injuries are going to

677
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: affect the secondary at some point, I would think, But

678
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: is there a particular area of the team that you

679
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: think has just been nails from day one until now?

680
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 8: You know, I think the offensive line has probably not

681
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 8: gotten enough credit. And but there have been some, you know,

682
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 8: some some minor detours. You know, the Rams game was

683
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 8: a tough one. You know, Bernard Raymond, I've not seen

684
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 8: him play like that, you know, since his rookie year.

685
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 8: That was That was a tough game for him. But

686
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 8: I think overall, for based on where my expectations were

687
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 8: and the questions that I had versus where they are

688
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 8: right now, I think you have to be very happy. Uh,

689
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 8: they have exceeded expectations. I never thought they were going

690
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 8: to be a bad offensive line. That that's ridiculous. You know,

691
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 8: we knew they were. They were at least decent. But

692
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 8: I think there were questions because of the two who

693
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 8: starting positions and who they lost, and just you know,

694
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 8: could that group come together. Braydon Smith coming back, we

695
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 8: hadn't seen him play, you know, for a little bit,

696
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 8: and it has all come together, There's no question about it.

697
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 8: And I think you're starting to see Shane Steichen really

698
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 8: embrace some of these individuals too, like Tanner BORDERLINI getting

699
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 8: out there and pulling the other day for Jonathan Taylor,

700
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 8: I think touchdown or two point conversion I forget. But

701
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 8: I mean that's that's a tough assignment as a center

702
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 8: stetball and get up off your butt and get out

703
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 8: there and lead the blocking effort on the edge. That's

704
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 8: a hell of a play for a young guy, and

705
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 8: he did it pretty effortlessly. So when you're asking that

706
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 8: guy to do that, that tells you what you think

707
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 8: about him. I believe you know. Same old with Quinton Nelson.

708
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 8: I mean, Frank Lake told me one time, their former coach.

709
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 8: He says he is the best pulling guard I've ever

710
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 8: seen in my life, and that remains true at nearly

711
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 8: thirty years old. Quinton is He's unbelievable. He and I

712
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 8: don't think people always appreciate him enough, but that man

713
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 8: is one of the best football players I've ever seen

714
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 8: in my life.

715
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: Skill player, right, James Voyd Quentin Nelson.

716
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what Shane Stichin told us when I asked

717
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 3: him about it on Monday. And so you heard from

718
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: Stephen Holder's watched his entire career here in Indianapolis, and

719
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: so that's just for the confirmation. That's what I got

720
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: for you Holder on the way out. Should strength of

721
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: schedule matter when we talk about the Colts being potential contenders?

722
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 8: No, I don't think so, because, to be honest with you,

723
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 8: when you look at strength of schedule, it's never the

724
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 8: disparity is never really that much, you know, like when

725
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 8: I always look at it at the end of the season,

726
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 8: you look at the hardest schedule and it'll be something

727
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 8: like a winning percentage opponent winning percentage of like, you know,

728
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 8: fifty six percent. And then you look at the bottom

729
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 8: and it's like a winning percentage or opponent winning percentage

730
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,239
Speaker 8: of like forty six percent, And I'm like, what are

731
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 8: we even talking about? This is stupid, right, So, and

732
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 8: that might be a slight exaggeration. My numbers are just

733
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 8: sort of off the top of my head. But I'm

734
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 8: telling you go back and look at it at the

735
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 8: end of the year, and it evens out. I'm not

736
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 8: saying it doesn't matter at all, but it really doesn't

737
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 8: make I don't think a concerted difference. Look, I would

738
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 8: much rather play a last play schedule than a first

739
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 8: place schedule. That is obvious because there's gonna be those

740
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 8: three or four opponents that are are definitely tougher. But

741
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 8: that's all it is, too. It's three or four opponents

742
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 8: we're talking about the rest of it tends to even out.

743
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 8: And you know, look, I mean you you make you

744
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 8: are what you are. And John Gruden always said to

745
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 8: me that you know you are what your record says

746
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 8: you are, and he was right. I mean, there are

747
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 8: a lot of other things he said. I thought he

748
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 8: was full of you know what. But but on that note,

749
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 8: he was right.

750
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 4: He was right.

751
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 8: You are what your record says, and that tends to

752
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 8: be true historically.

753
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Always good to talk to Steven. Have a great Wednesday.

754
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: These guys will see out of practice and I'll see

755
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: you on Sunday.

756
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 4: All right, you guys, So.

757
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: He's got questions, how about a game?

758
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: They have got answers.

759
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 5: I'm more of a you know, corn hole man myself.

760
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: Sports music, movies, what high fashion.

761
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: That Handsl's so hot right now.

762
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: And everything in between.

763
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 4: You're interesting with four two.

764
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: Time to get a glimpse into the mind of Mark Dykon.

765
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: Stop that you're scaring me.

766
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 4: Huge time for I gotta know.

767
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I wrote a good, clean fight.

768
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 5: Let's get it off, all right. I may have your

769
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 5: guys put your thinking caps on to They might challenge

770
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 5: the brains a little bit more than usual here, but

771
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 5: let's start off simple. A team not named the Colts

772
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 5: who has surprised you for the first three weeks five

773
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 5: weeks of the season.

774
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: Oh easily for me, it's a Jaguars. I am shocked

775
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: that they have played this well. And you know, Travis

776
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 3: Hunterston's be coming into his own I thought he had

777
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: probably his best game of his career this past weekend.

778
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 3: And Trevor Lawrence, I never know how to feel about him,

779
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: and he's looking like he's good again.

780
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: I don't know.

781
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: But they're a surprising team. I didn't expect them or

782
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 3: the Colts before and one. At this point in the year.

783
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: I would have said, Jacksonville Jaguars, I'm gonna go with

784
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers only because they have

785
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: been so banged up. No George Kittle to start the

786
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: entire season, No Juwan Jennings, Ricky Piersall was heard at

787
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: a certain point in time. It's just pretty much now

788
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: brock Perty has been hurt, their quarterback, they just keep rolling.

789
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: Nothing stops them. Kyle Shanahan's just got it going there,

790
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: and I keep waiting for them to kind of fall

791
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: off a cliff and they never really do.

792
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a positive direction, I would echo the similar

793
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: thoughts about Tampa Bay. Very banged up, and yet they're

794
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 2: at four and one. But Mark, if I could go surprise,

795
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you didn't say positive or negative, I just

796
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: either way. I mean, certainly Baltimore and then Kansas City.

797
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 5: Mine would be and this isn't surprising. I didn't expect

798
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 5: them to be good, but how bad they are is

799
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 5: the Jets where they don't even have a turnover in

800
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 5: the first five games of the season, And like, I

801
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 5: wasn't having high expectations. I never thought they'd even be

802
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 5: above five hundred, but to be as bad as they

803
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: have been, wonder if Aaron Glenn's kind of like, maybe

804
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 5: I should have stayed in Detroit the nextra year.

805
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: I think they're actually pretty funny to me. They're a

806
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 3: comedic team in my opinion, and Aaron Glenn is a

807
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: comedian as well. He was so hard on the media

808
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: going into the season about how things are going to

809
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: be different and not want to answer questions and being

810
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: all defensive. Now you're only five, brother, and people are

811
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: asking should you stick around for another year?

812
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: Quick bonus question for you guys, were believing at all

813
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: in the three and one Pittsburgh Steelers with Aaron Runn No.

814
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you believe in the Steelers every year, right,

815
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: because don't they just make the playoffs?

816
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 3: Yeah?

817
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: I don't care who the quarterback is.

818
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: Take the playoffs and then they'll lose because they want

819
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: to coach for sixteen.

820
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 5: All right, you can change one team's uniform back to

821
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 5: how it used to be. Who would it be? So

822
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 5: I'll let you guys think about that for a second.

823
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: I've got a couple, but if I have to pick one,

824
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: this will Jeff will get very excited. The old Broncos uniforms,

825
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 5: the orange unis with the blue helmet and the big

826
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 5: D on the helmet. Who doesn't love some big D

827
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 5: every once in a while. We know Taylor Swift does,

828
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 5: according to that last song about Travis Kelcey. But that

829
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 5: old Broncos uniform is fantastic.

830
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: Really helped. The drop offs have already occurred by.

831
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 5: Sounds like you got a case of I'm just saying, okay, No,

832
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 5: that one is awesome.

833
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: I love the old night This is yeah for his boss.

834
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening right now. I'm not sure.

835
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: The old Patriots uniform back in the day with pat Patriot,

836
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 5: the red and the ball, that's a glorious one. The

837
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 5: Bucks cream sickle jerseys.

838
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: I would go powder blue chargers.

839
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 5: Those are glorious. Are still consider throwbacks though, because they

840
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: wear them quite regularly.

841
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: I know, but yeah, I think you do consider them throwbacks.

842
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 2: Like I would agree with you on the blue Broncos helmet.

843
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 5: Those are glorious. Those those need to be a staple.

844
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 5: They just bring those back full time.

845
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why they don't just use them all

846
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, They'll use them like two or three

847
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: times a year, and I'm like, just stay with that.

848
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that's so good? And that in twice

849
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: a year against the powder blue Chargers uniforms. I know

850
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be twice year because home road uniforms, but

851
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: sign me up. It makes me very nostalgic.

852
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll go Kelly Green, Philly. Those are sweeter, pretty

853
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: nice when they wear those.

854
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

855
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 5: Okay, what's a move that was rumored to happen that

856
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 5: didn't happen that we'd love to have seen worked out?

857
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 5: Like I go back to my Bears fandom. Kurt Warner

858
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 5: was apparently supposed to work out the with the Bears

859
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 5: years ago and they got bit by a spider, so

860
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 5: he canceled his workout with the Bears, and I'm always like,

861
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 5: what would have happened there? Or there was another one

862
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 5: where Randy Moss was supposed to meet with the Bears.

863
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 5: His favorite player was Walter Payton. They scheduled a breakfast

864
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 5: with Walter Payton for Randy Moss, and Randy Moss overslept

865
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 5: the meeting and the Bears were like, Nope, take him

866
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 5: off the list. We're not drafting him.

867
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 3: I mean, the easy one on the silver platter is

868
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,959
Speaker 3: what if Tyree's never gets hurt in Game seven? Yep,

869
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 3: I mean that's the one that is fresh in our minds.

870
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 3: But as far as my own personal sports fandom, being

871
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: a Bulls fan growing up, the summer that Lebron went

872
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 3: into a free agency, I want to say that I

873
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 3: was twenty ten. He was like him, and I think

874
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: Kim and Carmelo Anthony were like teasing about teaming up

875
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: in Chicago Dereck Rose and I was like, if we

876
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 3: just get one of these guys winning championship. So, I mean,

877
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: I get it. You know, it's easy to hate Lebron

878
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 3: if you're an Eastern Conference basketball team fan, but I

879
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: think anybody giving truths here him would say, you know,

880
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 3: we would welcome the best player in the world at

881
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 3: that time to our team. So yeah, I hated him

882
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 3: back then, and for good reason he kept putting my

883
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: bulls teams out. I was stick of it. I was

884
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 3: thinking of I can't beat him, come join us.

885
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: You didn't mention Russell Wilson potentially to the Chicago Bears.

886
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 5: No, I didn't want that at all. No, thank you

887
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 5: hard pass oh Man.

888
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well when you said Randy Moss, you know, at

889
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: one time the thought was he was going to Notre Dame,

890
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 2: and so honestly that's where I went a little bit

891
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: with a Notre Dame fandom there. But as far as

892
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 2: any I laugh because I don't know how much validity

893
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 2: or behind some of these rumors, but he seemingly comes

894
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: up with a different one every year. Paul George saying

895
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 2: that he was trying to get Anthony Davis to be

896
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: a pacer and like he acted like there was some

897
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 2: truth and that or some realism that could have been there.

898
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: What would that have looked like? Would you have gotten

899
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 2: past Lebron and Wade and Bosh there, because even without

900
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis you got the what game sixes and sevens

901
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 2: with them? So yeah, yeah, I think about that from

902
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: a trade.

903
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, the rumors standpoint, that's.

904
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 5: Standpoint brought the Colts pulling the trigger on Matthew Stafford.

905
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: That would have been yeah, And that would have been

906
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 2: instead of Carson Wentz in twenty twenty one.

907
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 4: That's yeah.

908
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: Could you have you know, had the Rams success with them?

909
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: I like that? What was yours?

910
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 5: Jeff?

911
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 4: This?

912
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: I actually looked this up to make sure I was

913
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: remembering it correctly, and I did. When John Elway refused

914
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: to play for the Colts ended up going to the

915
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: Broncos in that trade that involved Chris Hinton and everybody else,

916
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders allegedly had a deal in place, and the

917
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: commissioner nixed the deal and the Broncos ended up winning

918
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: the sweep stakes. John La could have been a Raider

919
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: for all those years.

920
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 3: Isn't this similar to like the Chris Paul to La

921
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: Lakers trade way back when? And because I think I

922
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: want to see the Hornets didn't have like an owner

923
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 3: at the time or something, and Commissioner David Starring, the

924
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: late commissioner was serving as like their pseudo team owner.

925
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: He nicked the trade.

926
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 5: It was crazy, all right, Last, but not least, what

927
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 5: are we watching task HBO?

928
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 3: It is phenomenal.

929
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: That is that's on the watch. What we heard about

930
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: Chad powers Worth it.

931
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 3: I'm not really movies.

932
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

933
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, i'd it's it's it's fine because it's thirty minutes long,

934
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 5: but it's not great. So I haven't watched it yet.

935
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: It feels like it.

936
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 2: Was man cast the other night there. I was curious

937
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 2: about that. Maddie has been on a Dancing with the

938
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: Stars kick lately.

939
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 5: Oh, you gonna shake your They're coming to town and Indy.

940
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 5: Did you see that? No, February twenty, Yeah, the first

941
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 5: time there ever. It's like a seventy six.

942
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 3: We need Kevin Bowen up there.

943
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 2: He's Disney on ice.

944
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 5: When you've got that look at that.

945
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 3: I want to see Kevin Bowen as a celebrity guest.

946
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're outside of wrapping gifts. I

947
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 2: don't think there's the thing. I'm worse sad than dancing.

948
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: It might be worse than you.

949
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 2: Co poor rappers of gifts right?

950
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, I try to do three tape and

951
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 5: it never works out.

952
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, like whatever, who cares Maddie's birthday other day? I mean,

953
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: you should just have seen this wrap job I'm hearing.

954
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 3: I feel like being a family of adults since all

955
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: of everybody in my family's grown. I'm a bad guy.

956
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: I'll go get you a nice bag from the dollar

957
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: tree and just throw it in there and here you go.

958
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: There's I'm team bag. But I know Maddie wants the

959
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 2: effort of wrapping the gifts is all.

960
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 3: This is so true because my mom is like that,

961
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 3: so everyone else can get the bag. My dad doesn't.

962
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 3: This man he told don't ever to waste some money

963
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: on a car. He's gonna read that, throw that in

964
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: the trash and move on. And he's not sentimental at all.

965
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 3: So I didn't waste getting him a car. He just

966
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: wants money in his hand come Christmas. It's like it's

967
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 3: literally the most like not sentimental thing ever.

968
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing We've learned a little little hack at

969
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: our house. We only buy greeting cards, Christmas cards, any

970
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of cards, Birthday cards, anniversary only at the dollar store. Now, well, yeah,

971
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: there's no no point six bucks.

972
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 5: Yes, there's never been a bigger crime committed in the

973
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 5: Dyton household than when I threw away tissue paper and

974
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 5: normally goes to the bags. My Mom's like, where's the

975
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 5: tissue paper?

976
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: You did?

977
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 4: What?

978
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 5: I'm like, what it's paper. What what is?

979
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 3: Why do my mom recycled paper in the bags.

980
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: And the ribbons?

981
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 4: Yep?

982
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, coming up in a moment, we'll talk

983
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: Indiana Oregon. Zach Osterman stops by next. It's ninety three

984
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: five one O seven to five.

985
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: The fan.

986
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: Zach Osterman covers the team UH, and we talked to

987
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: him every Wednesday here. We look forward to doing that

988
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: and he joins us now on the Payless Liquors Hotline

989
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about number seven Indiana taking

990
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: on number three Oregon this weekend. Good morning, Zach, how

991
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: are we doing this morning? Is Is this potentially the

992
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: biggest game, biggest win in Indiana football history?

993
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think win it? I think, yeah, I don't think.

994
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 9: I mean, the only other one that would compare would

995
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 9: be the sixty seven bucket game, which obviously sent Indiana

996
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 9: to the.

997
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 4: UH to the Rose Bowl.

998
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 9: I think that's the only other, you know, real comparison

999
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 9: you'd be able to draw. You know, if Indiana wins

1000
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 9: this game, obviously it puts them in full position both

1001
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 9: for the playoffs and also for the big tentitle game

1002
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 9: in Indianapolis. They'd even I mean, they'd be afford to

1003
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 9: excuse me, they would be able to afford a loss

1004
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 9: over their last six games if they won this one,

1005
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 9: because they'd hold the tiebreaker over Oregon, and because Penn State,

1006
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 9: even if they lost to Penn State would.

1007
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 4: Still have more conference losses now.

1008
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 9: But it would also you know, I think it's obvious

1009
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 9: to say this, but it would also carry you know,

1010
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 9: real sort of cultural significance, real sort of you know,

1011
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 9: intangible weight for a program that obviously hasn't you know,

1012
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 9: had a lot of moments on these stages, and certainly

1013
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 9: when it has, you know, has has you know, you

1014
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 9: think about last year. I think people point to the

1015
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 9: Michigan State game in eighty seven, you know that the

1016
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 9: few times Indiana kind of has some to these junctures,

1017
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 9: especially in the regular season, it's it's come up second best.

1018
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 9: So yeah, I mean, I think it would be it

1019
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 9: would certainly be on the shortest list imaginable of best

1020
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 9: wins in program history.

1021
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 3: Zach, when you look at the way this Indiana team

1022
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 3: has performed in the last couple of games that they played,

1023
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 3: obviously the beat down of my alma water Illinois, and

1024
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: then finding a way to win, you know, on the

1025
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: road against Iowa. How do you think this team has

1026
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: kind of evolved when it comes to you know, I

1027
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 3: guess scratching to Klawna and finding a way to you know,

1028
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 3: get a win, even if it might not be in

1029
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 3: the most you know, dominating fashions. You know, when you

1030
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 3: look at teams that are really good, you know they

1031
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 3: won without their best stuff.

1032
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's.

1033
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 9: Also just kind of what Iowa is at Kennick times.

1034
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 9: But I said this to somebody last week, like Iowa

1035
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 9: at Kennick is maybe not schematically, but like philosophically the

1036
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 9: closest thing the big kN as the option anymore, Like

1037
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 9: they drag you into their kind of game and you

1038
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 9: have to beat them that way.

1039
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 4: But I think, you know, in general, in talking about

1040
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 4: how this.

1041
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 9: Team has evolved, I think you know, certainly from Enda

1042
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 9: Mendoza has has gotten more settled in even that Iowa

1043
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 9: game when he said, hey, I got you know, I

1044
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 9: kind of reverted to some bad habits there for a

1045
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 9: little while. I wasn't at my best. Listen, two thirty

1046
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 9: three and two touchdowns and a win on the road

1047
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 9: at Kinnick Stadium is still a pretty good day, you know,

1048
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 9: historically and in.

1049
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 4: Big Ten, in Big Ten football.

1050
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 9: I also think, like, if you look at this team,

1051
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 9: I think probably the we talked about this on our

1052
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 9: podcast yesterday, I think the maybe the piece of this

1053
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 9: that's been most impressive is Indiana's defense. You know that

1054
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 9: that was the area that felt right for regression after

1055
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 9: last year. Indiana brought so many guys over from James

1056
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 9: Madison and really just kind of transplanted Bryant Main's scheme,

1057
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 9: his culture, his you know, his preferences, his emphasies, and

1058
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 9: you lost a lot of that. You know, if you're

1059
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 9: in the end of you lost everyone along your defensive

1060
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 9: line except Calcamara, you lost one of your two starting linebackers.

1061
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 9: You had to replace what in the end, I think,

1062
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 9: three starters in the secondary. And yet I would argue

1063
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 9: there are ways in which Indiana has been better defensively,

1064
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 9: certainly if you take the competition into account. You know,

1065
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 9: we spent a lot of of the offseason talking about

1066
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 9: Indiana's non conference schedule, but Indiana's probably played a better

1067
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 9: team in a non conference this year in Old Dominion

1068
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 9: than anybody they played last year. And then certainly the

1069
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 9: two conference games they've played so far have been more

1070
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 9: difficult than probably any of the conference games they played

1071
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 9: last year up up until the Michigan game. And so

1072
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 9: you know, for Indiana to be as good as it's

1073
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 9: been defensively, I looked this up yesterday. Indiana's allowed three

1074
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 9: red zone trips all year. Opponents through five games have

1075
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 9: gotten to the red zone three times against Indiana and

1076
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 9: two of those. Two of those red zone conversions were

1077
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 9: field goals. So Indiana's allowed one red zone touchdown all year.

1078
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 9: They are among the nation's leaders and turnover margin tackles

1079
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 9: for loss sacks. I mean, like the the defensive sort

1080
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 9: of evolution. The defensive development from this group through a

1081
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 9: ton of personnel turnover has been really impressive and it

1082
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 9: will be really important if Indiana is going to have

1083
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 9: a shot on Saturday.

1084
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: So this is Zach Austerman Mine Your Banners, the podcast

1085
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: Zach has. It's a great, great listen Zach, as you

1086
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 2: look at I guess here I should say, Hurt Signetti

1087
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: this week and his press conference previewing the Oora game.

1088
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: How would you compare, you know, his bravado, his presence

1089
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: this week compared to maybe Ohio State or Notre Dame

1090
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 2: from last year.

1091
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he wasn't. I mean he was.

1092
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 9: He was pretty business like, which is typically when you

1093
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 9: can tell Signetti thinks the opponent is very serious. And

1094
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 9: I mean not that that's breaking news. This is the

1095
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 9: number two team in the country. Dane Landing's lost one

1096
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 9: game at home in three and a half years as

1097
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 9: Oregon's head coach. You know, whatever happened to Penn State

1098
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 9: the week after, we all, I know how difficult it

1099
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 9: is to win on a wide out night game at

1100
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 9: at you know, in Beaver Stadium, and we saw.

1101
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 4: What Oregon did there.

1102
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 9: You know, I think also just in general, when you

1103
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 9: talk about bravado, Signetti himself has said there were probably

1104
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 9: times last year when he was a little bit more bullish,

1105
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 9: a little bit more ambitious, And he said, I thought

1106
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 9: we needed that a year ago, because a year ago

1107
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 9: we were still setting expectations. We were trying to get

1108
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 9: our fans to believe in, you know, this program's ability

1109
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 9: to be more than it had been in the past.

1110
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 9: We were trying to you know, kind of just just

1111
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 9: build a level of sort of confidence and a level

1112
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 9: of belief, and you know, there was maybe a little

1113
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 9: bit of you know, have faith and faith we will

1114
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 9: be given. Unto Yee about what Signetti was doing a

1115
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 9: year ago, but.

1116
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 4: He said, I don't think we need that. Now.

1117
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 9: We know what we're capable of. From our players, to

1118
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 9: our coaches, to our athletics department, to our university, to

1119
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 9: our fan base. Everyone sees what we can do. Nobody

1120
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 9: needs to be told. So I think there's also an

1121
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 9: element of he just you know, you're not going to

1122
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 9: get some and listen, we haven't. You know, I've written

1123
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 9: about this, other people I've written about this. We haven't

1124
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 9: gotten nearly the same number of those you know uh

1125
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 9: you know produced sucks Google me, you know, all the

1126
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 9: you know the where the emerging superpower constable, all that

1127
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 9: stuff that he said a year ago. We really haven't

1128
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 9: gotten nearly as much of that this year. And I

1129
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 9: think it's just because Signet he feels like, hey, I

1130
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 9: don't need to do that anymore. I don't need to

1131
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 9: put that act on because everybody's aware of what we're

1132
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 9: capable of. Everybody believes look at our crowds, look at

1133
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 9: our atmospheres, look at our results, and so now it's

1134
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 9: just much more about behaving like a program that expects

1135
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 9: to be on these stages in these games and trying

1136
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 9: to win these games.

1137
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 3: Zach Osterman here on the Payloff Stickers Hotline, he covers

1138
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 3: IU for The Indie Star and Zach, maybe I'm reaching

1139
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 3: on this, but I'm sure it's probably a question that's

1140
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 3: been broached when it comes to Fernando Mendoza. But he

1141
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 3: did play at Oregon meeting, playing on the road at

1142
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 3: Oregon a few years ago. Does that, you know, factor

1143
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: into maybe the comfortability or just knowing what to expect

1144
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 3: in an atmosphere like that.

1145
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure it can't hurt Everson. I think

1146
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 4: Cal lost that game by forty four.

1147
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: Pers they did it was Yeah, I love that part out.

1148
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm guessing if Nanda Mendoz was here, he'd say,

1149
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 9: you know, it doesn't count for too much. I got

1150
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 9: to go do it with this team, you know, against

1151
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 9: this Oregon team, you know, this week, and I got

1152
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 9: to put in a lot better performance. Obviously, Indiana now

1153
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 9: and Cal three years ago, we're kind of two very

1154
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 9: different programs. But it certainly can't hurt, you know, just

1155
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 9: that that at very least you're aware, like he's been

1156
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 9: in it before, he's aware of, you know what it

1157
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 9: looks like what it sounds like. On the other hand,

1158
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 9: I'm guessing obviously I did not watch that game two

1159
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 9: years ago, forgive me, but with especially with media days

1160
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 9: this week, I'm probably not going to watch it game

1161
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 9: from two years ago. I'm guessing the atmosphere was not

1162
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 9: the same for that game.

1163
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 3: That it will be for this one.

1164
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 4: So so I don't think.

1165
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 9: I don't think Branana Mendoza is going to walk in

1166
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,959
Speaker 9: in there and think I'm gonna win this game because

1167
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 9: I've played at Austin Stadium before. But it certainly can't

1168
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 9: hurt that you've got somebody that can just see he's

1169
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 9: not the only one Jonathan Brady. I can't remember if

1170
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 9: Brady played in that game or not, but the other

1171
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 9: cal transfer of the team. It certainly can't hurt if

1172
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 9: there are guys that are able to say, hey, here's

1173
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 9: what it looks like, here's what it feels like. You know,

1174
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 9: even stuff is as small as the field does this,

1175
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 9: or the sun you know, expect the sunlight to do

1176
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 9: this or whatever, like, it can't hurt. But I don't

1177
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 9: think anybody's gonna look at it and say that's the

1178
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 9: difference between winning and losing,
