I mean it's been great. I 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.960 mean just getting in here, getting settled in obviously, trying 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.560 to make it home as quickly as possible. And it's 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.360 been great. I mean, getting to meet the guys even more, 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.000 getting closer and tighter with them, and just going out 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:24.600 there and doing my thing, playing the sport I love. 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:26.079 So I can't complain right now? 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.680 Does it make it any more special because you landed 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.480 with your hometown team? 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.919 There's definitely something behind it. 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.720 I mean obviously I not know what it is until 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.560 later on or right now. I mean, it could be little, 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.600 it could be big, but I know there's something behind it, 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.920 and I know it's just all God's blessing and just 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.120 got to make the most of it, come out he 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:45.880 every day and compete. 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.680 Now, did you have to pinch yourself when you first 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.240 heard that they were going to draft you back in 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.000 the spring of the draft? You goll wow, you got 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.240 to be kidding me right here? Was that the destination 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.800 you thought or might there have been another destination for 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:57.600 you at that time. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.319 Ever since I saw that three one seven call call 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.480 al Idy, I knew, uh, I first saw it was 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.200 a prank call, but after it I definitely, uh, just 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.560 kind of it all sank in at the same time 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.000 and felt I blacked out for about three minutes. It 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.240 wasn't real. And uh, I mean after it all of 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.480 a sudden done. I mean, it's definitely just such a 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:18.720 surreal moment I got to take in. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.679 Every day Kat and Curry joins us suddeny Andy Mora 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.720 Automotive Group Potline training camp at drop Bly Grand Park 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.520 up in Westfield and going on right now. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.880 I'm curious too. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:33.039 You have met every single challenge at every level and 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.440 probably have been told in the past. Yeah, you know what, 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:36.760 I don't know if this is going to be for 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.679 you and you've proven people wrong. Is this just another 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.600 kind of rung in that particular ladder of trying to 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.440 get to where you want to go? And really it 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.760 seems like the environment in which you thrive a great 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:48.720 deal as a part. 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.960 Of Yeah, I mean, obviously I'm not going to shy 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:56.520 away from competition and battles. I mean you got to practice, 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.200 You got to make mistakes to get him corrected. You 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.360 just can't make the same mistake twice. And I feel 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:01.760 like that's why I do such a good job at 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.440 and just being a great teammate. Obviously, you want to 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.280 be the guy that everybody likes being around and just 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.240 making sure you take all the advice you can get, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.280 be a sponge as I've been hearing around here, and 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.240 just soaking it all up and really just making the 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.839 most of it every day, taking one day at a time, 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.520 and just working aside as they possibly can. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.120 All right, now, you're going to have to head the 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.240 old man some advice here, if you wouldn't mind. So 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.520 I'm not a mistake free I make mistakes all the time, 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.440 and then I compound those mistakes by making them again. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.640 So how do you how do you compartmentalized mistakes and 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.800 then move on from them to not make them again? 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.560 Because to me, somebody like me, Kayden, that seems to 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.840 be a special skill. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.360 Yeah, I mean, obviously I still make mistakes. Everybody's human, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.520 but it's just I mean from a football aspect, it's 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.480 the mental reps. It's the reps outside of practice, it's 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.200 the reps in. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:50.839 The meeting room. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.640 It's just making sure that you keep going over until 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.720 it's kind of engraved in your head. And obviously it 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.519 sounds a lot to you eas you're said and done, 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.560 and then you got to actually be the one that's 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.520 going to go out there and do it. You can 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.280 say a lot, but are you actually going to do it? 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.360 So that's really what I kind of go at and 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.400 just making sure that I get my extra time in 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.320 and uh, just praying. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.080 Are you always prepared? 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.040 Have you been a guy that not just in sports, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.800 but just in all fastest of life? Do you always 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.760 feel like you're somebody that's going into whatever situation it 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:20.760 is prepared. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.359 I'm always thinking about the worst before I go out there, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.000 and then obviously preparing for the best. You got to 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.519 see both sides, and you got to see how you 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.000 want to see it, and you kind of got to 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.799 manifest what you want, and you also got to prepared 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.920 prepared for things to go wrong. And then that's when 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.640 you kind of have your backup plan and obviously you 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.080 don't want to go to it, but uh, I mean 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.800 it's always got to be there setting stone just so 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:41.360 you're ready. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.440 Kayden, Where do you get your competitive gene. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.560 I love to say for my parents, but it's also 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.880 from God too. I feel like that's kind of my 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.800 special ability. He gave me just to keep going no 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.960 matter what and just to embrace the grind. But I 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.800 also give it to my parents and my brothers. My 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.920 brothers especially girl. If I was the youngest, they definitely 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.480 gave me the beat down in the backyard of the 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.480 basketball court and just for a football and everything. They 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.560 made sure that I was the youngest and that I 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:09.240 knew every day. 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.200 I often thought this that it benefited the younger kids 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.000 that are playing when you get knocked around by the 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.400 older dudes. And that's why when I played basketball as 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.440 an old dude, we play with the younger guys as well, 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.280 and it seems like they get better just by playing 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.880 against an older group. Even if that older group has 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.640 no chance of being as good as the younger person, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.280 it always seems to be beneficial when it comes down 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:31.960 to competition. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.839 Oh yeah, I mean, if you're the young guy, then 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.800 you can't compete with the older kids. You're not playing, 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.279 so you had to step up and you had to 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.640 be out there practicing, getting those extra reps just to 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.000 be able to play with them. So my brothers always 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.159 have so many friends over and they'd be doing basketball tournament, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.400 so I'd be out there two hours before and getting 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.240 my shots out of being sure I wasn't letting the 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.040 order hit the bigger kids down, so I had to 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.200 make sure it hit my shots too. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.600 How big was Eric Moore in your life? You're high 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.520 school coach at sine Grove. I have a great deal 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.240 of admiration for him. He knows that too, and every 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.760 player form player I talked to of his basically says 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.080 the same thing. How would you describe your former high 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:05.840 school head coach? 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.760 Yeah, I mean just from the beginning kind of when 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.720 I went in to play football at Synegram at the 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.040 high school level, I was still kind of a baseball 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.200 oriented guy. I thought that was my past, and he 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.080 kind of just showed me the light. He showed me 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.719 what it definitely needed to take to get to that level, 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.000 and he just showed me how to embrace it, love 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:28.160 the game and just from how hard a summer workouts are. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.279 But I mean, obviously you start you hate it, but 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.560 when you get done, you definitely see the benefits and 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.200 you see why you do it. And you see why 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.800 it's so important to get out there and just do 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.680 it every single morning. And just the way that he 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.800 kind of mentally gave me the game of the life 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.760 in life and sports. He taught me how to be 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.760 a man. Obviously going through high school wasn't as big 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.520 as it is going to college, but I mean he 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.839 definitely made sure that I was college ready and just 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.320 definitely just was prepared and just going into any situation 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.240 with the most and maximizing the most out of every 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.880 single day. He's definitely somebody important in my life in 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.640 the early stages and definitely one of the strongest men 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:04.279 in my foundation. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.520 By the way, when you hit four hundred foot bombs 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.000 in baseball, people are going to view you as a 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.839 baseball player. You realize that, right. I've heard the stories 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.400 because Rick Clark has had the tape measure and he's 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.880 measured your home runs and he's told me four hundred 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:20.480 foot bombs. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.599 I bet they playing great music while doing. 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.320 It way way too loud, probably and inappropriate. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.040 Ad that too. 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.920 Kayden Curry's joining us something anymore Automotive Group Hotline. How 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.680 much has Patient's been involved in all this too? And 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.359 because of your preparation at Ohio State. How do you 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.160 feel about going into your rookie season with the Colts 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.320 Because you did wait your turn in Columbus and as 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.120 we saw, it paid off big. You're really betting on 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.719 yourself in this and it paid off for you. How 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.360 do you get that patience and then how do you 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.000 also take that patience to the NFL level? 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.919 I feel like it's different. I mean in college, obviously, 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.640 you know you have four years to kind of get 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:05.960 it done. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:06.760 You know, you have. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.880 Your freshman year to kind of learn, your sophomore in 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.600 junior year to kind of grow, and then your senior 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.240 year to be dominant. That's kind of where I was 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.680 kind of looking out of going into college. But here 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.480 in the NFL you definitely have to just they're not 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.840 looking for patients. You got to be urgent every single day. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.200 You got to earn your spot. I mean, there's only 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.120 fifty three people that can go and there's only fifty 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:27.800 three people that can play, so I mean you got 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.240 to make sure that you make the most of every 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.920 rep that you get and just minimizing the stakes. You 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.280 can't make the same mistake twice. And obviously you got 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.960 to grow as fast as possible. Obviously, the older guys 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.360 are going to help you along the way and they 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.080 have more knowledge than you. So you just like I 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.800 said before, it's got to be a sponge and just 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.480 embrace everything that's around us. And I mean really just 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.080 just that grind. I mean, being patient is so many 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.920 different ways to it. It's a mental aspect, that's the 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.360 physical aspect. I mean, it's rely just doing as much 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.080 as you can every single day to make sure that 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.440 you're the best version of yourself and just fighting for 0:07:58.480 --> 0:07:59.080 it every single day. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:00.640 You get a lot of high schoo fans, a lot 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.480 of people you grew up with that have checked you 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:03.040 out up there. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.000 The first couple of days, approachice. 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:05.880 I'm getting. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.680 I'm getting everything. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.320 The past two days, I've heard kids, you know, and 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.920 I'm from North Central, I'm from Westfield.

But while that's a signature 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.160 for you, you created a signature moment for him at 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.040 the same time too. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.079 Yeah, I mean it definitely was a two way street. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.719 I mean, he's such a great player, and I mean 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.800 I wish nothing but the best for him. But uh, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.560 it was on our it was on our game plan. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.000 I mean, kas Patricia told me, he said, if you 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.160 guys want to beat these you guys, you got to 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.640 take that quarterback out. And uh, I guess I took 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.520 it very literal and had the opportunity first play. I mean, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.719 it wasn't it was definitely. Uh it was a hard hit, 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.200 but I feel like it was clean and uh, I 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:15.839 definitely made sure to check in on him the next 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.760 couple of plays down in the drive. I mean, had 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.760 those first couple of plays of the game, everything's just 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:20.800 the adrenalines going. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.200 So did you check you checked in on him during 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:23.560 the game. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.920 Yeah, was down later that drive. I mean obviously he 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.040 went out after that. I was gonna let the let this, 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.160 let the medical staff get their time with them. I'm 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.360 not gonna try to interfere during all that. But when 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.959 he came down later down the drive, and made sure 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.720 to check in on him, just to make sure he's 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.720 knows that I wasn't trying to do it blatantly and dirty. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.240 So I was just making sure. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.640 Have you talked to him since that at all? About that? 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.640 I saw him at the combine. But that dude come 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.439 on his first pick. He's he's famous. So I gave 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.679 him his his little area, gave him time to just 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.800 be himself, and uh, I mean hopefully later on we 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:56.559 got to see each other. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200 I gotta love it, though all those people said, you 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.760 ran me over, you und me down. You tell that's 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.080 that's great. That is awesome. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.960 You I didn't even think about that dynamic, the local dynamic, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.240 because of the way and the level on what you 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.079 played around here. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.920 That's that's pretty awesome. It's going to be gratifying as well. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.720 You got to laugh a little bit, don't you, because 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.640 they're all going to be rooting for you here really soon? 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:17.360 You know that? 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.840 Oh yeah, I mean, I mean those guys are they 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.040 grew up with me. They are guys that competed with me, 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.480 and they that they were once playing with. I mean, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.600 we were a very dominant team center girl. We had 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.000 more than just me. We had so many great defensive 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.600 players that went to the next level, so many great 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.120 offensive players, a few guys in the NFL. So I mean, honestly, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.040 just being able to play with those guys and be 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.959 able to play the kids around here. I mean, everybody 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.280 kind of just grew to be better versions of themselves. So, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.360 I mean, you see so many people from the indie level, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.760 and it's just why football's growing in Indiana out You 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.680 just see so many players that are going on moving 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.640 on to the next one. I feel like Indiana football 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.960 is just kind of growing in all spects, and that's 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.320 even high school, college and NFL. And that's just what 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.760 we want as a as a state really, not even 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.960 just teams alone, just everybody getting better and kind of 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.280 growing to be one of those kind dominant football places 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.520 that everybody want to watch high school football from the start. 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.120 Well, listen, I've been told, but I know this to 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.040 be true.

The ride with JMV? 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.160 The Rights, the Ritz A story for ending in a 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.920 football comes to conclusion what a football. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.000 Team that he's three five and one oh seven five. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.320 The fan that is our friend Don Fisher right there, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.559 the voice of the Hoosiers it's been a long time 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:15.760 since Don and I and Susie have been together. Good 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.439 def Leopard re entry ride here from Kaleb. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:21.440 Quote. 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.640 We don't run a hype machine up here in the Midwest. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.920 When we fall short, we don't want and complain. That's 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:33.080 why we're the best. Kurt Signetti on the Big Ten. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.559 I love it. I do you want to know why? 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.840 Because anybody like Jackass is like me, can say stuff 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:46.000 and not back up. Jack Squat, he's backed it up 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.560 so far on the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. He 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.480 was a part of it a little bit earlier today 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.720 and then sum in Chicago. From the Indianapolis Star, Zach 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:58.720 Osterman joins us, the Kurt Signetti stuff never truly gets 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:03.720 old at all for me, because when you have accomplished 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.000 what he has. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:06.000 You are allowed. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.120 It's not like he just talks about, hey, my way 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.480 is the best way, but everything else is just a 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.000 bunch of bull crap. And he's just telling you and 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.360 describing to you what has been real and what has 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.439 been legit, And to me, that's refreshing. 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.360 Yeah, And I think, I mean, it's been an interesting 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.280 evolution to think about these three sort of media days 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.040 appearances that he's had, you know, with the Big Ten, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.679 the first one, I think everybody just kind of showed 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.839 up wondering what crazy thing he'd say next. That was 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.160 the word he used at his first of me. I 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.360 think he's direct Bob with something like, I know you're 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.480 all waiting for me to get up here and say 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:46.080 something crazy. Last year there was maybe a I don't know, 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.080 kind of almost. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:47.520 A mix of that. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.240 What you're talking about is there was sort of this 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.040 respect for what he'd done in twenty twenty four. But 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.960 Indiana was also such a polarizing program. If you think 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.240 back to last summer when we talk about the way 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.720 they performed against Ohio State, Notre Dame, when we talked 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.959 about how the SEC had decided to go to war 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.640 against Indiana's scheduling philosophy. Specifically, this time around, it was 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.840 just very much sort of, Hey, he's you know, he's 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.520 the master of this particular universe, and I don't think 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.840 he's ever someone who's going to be comfortable being a statesman. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.360 I don't think he wants to get up there and 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.320 set agendas and make sweeping statements about sort of the 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.360 future of college football and things like that. But you 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.640 know it, there was nobody sort of trying to do 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.680 anything except sort of feet with Indiana, and obviously by 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.000 extension signet he have accomplished over. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:37.920 The last two years. This time around, it. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:42.480 Was just a widespread acknowledgement that Indiana is one of 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:43.640 the big boys in the conference. 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.400 Now Zach Austaman of the Stars in Chicago and the 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.000 Andy Moore Automotive Group potline you mentioned he does not 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.760 want to be a statesman in all this, but has 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:58.480 he positioned himself with his incredible level of success that 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.880 that's going to be his own a choice here moving forward. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.360 To a certain extent, Yes, I mean, listen, you know, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.680 you don't have to have a convert. You don't have 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.200 to give the answer if you don't want to, and 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.680 he'll still have fun sometimes, like when he took what 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.280 felt like a maybe you know, thinly veiled shot at the. 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.680 Sec there at the end of his comments at the 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:17.760 podium and things like that. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.880 But you know, in the same breath he got some 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.040 you know, some sort of bigger picture feature of college 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.680 sports questions during his breakout session, and he said what 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:31.480 he often said, which is that you know, some version 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.440 that basically just that's above my pay grade. Just tell 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.080 me what the rules are, and I'll find a way 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:39.440 to win, you know, within them or without, you know, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.800 well abiding by them. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:41.840 He's not. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.040 Yes, he's going to get more of those questions, you know, 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.880 what do you think about the congression, congressional legislation or 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.000 the future of you know, NIL and revenue sharing or whatever. 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.320 And sometimes you know, I think where he does engage 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:56.680 with that stuff is on kind of a day to 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.440 day level, like if you ask him about why and 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.720 how he handles his roster the way he does. He 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.720 doesn't have a GM. He does a lot of the 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.440 you know, the numbers himself and things like that. But 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.320 he doesn't want to be someone who I think is 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.040 I could not imagine no world where you see Kurt 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.320 Signetty in front of a congressional hearing, for example, like 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:22.560 his former boss. I just don't think that is part 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.560 of his makeup as a coach, and I don't think 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.640 it's I don't think you'd ever see him in that vein. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.240 I think he would always just sort of say it 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.200 with you, just kind of tell me what the parameters are, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:34.080 and I'll find a way to win. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:35.680 That's my job as a bootbulk coach. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.280
