Good morning, Kevin Bowen, 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 8: James Boyd, Mark Dyton, great job again. They finished it 71 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 8: off sixteen and oh they do it with dramatic plays. 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 8: They get a blocked punt, they get an amazing just 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 8: I'm going to will myself into the ends one touchdown 74 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 8: run from Fernando Mendoza. They get another interception late. They 75 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 8: do all the things that somehow they've done all year 76 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 8: long without the overwhelming statistics all the time. They continue 77 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 8: to just win football games against any team of any ranking, anywhere, anytime, 78 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 8: any place. 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: I don't even know what else to say. 80 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 15: Kevin Bowen, Mark Dyton, great work on the intro that 81 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 15: was championship. Like I have a feeling that might be 82 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 15: downloaded a couple times here on this Tuesday morning. It's 83 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 15: a great story in college football, and it is complete, 84 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 15: and last night was I thought, you know, really just 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 15: a great microcosm of their story. You will put the 86 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 15: Mendoza effort first off, the call to go for it, 87 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 15: the blocking, the effort. 88 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: You'll put that right up. 89 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 15: There with Keith Smart, right up there with Christian Watford, 90 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 15: perhaps for some people top the list. 91 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: And it's just amazing. It's Jeff. I would have thought previously. 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 15: That you on your shwind bike had a better chance 93 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 15: to win the Tour de France than Indiana football had 94 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 15: to in the National Championship. 95 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 3: And yet here we are. 96 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 15: And I love that Signetti broke stride their postgame. He 97 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 15: was going full coach speak and then he broke stride 98 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 15: of it can be done. And like those what is 99 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 15: that forwards? 100 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 16: To me? 101 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 15: Kurtz Signetti is an unbelievable x and o's coach, unbelievable 102 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 15: player developer. But maybe his best attribute was sensing that 103 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 15: the mindset needed to be changed, and sensing it as 104 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 15: soon as he stepped foot on campus whatever that was 105 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 15: twenty four months ago. And I thought that quote was 106 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 15: really just kind of sums up his entire project, if 107 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 15: you will. He knew it from day one, as soon 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 15: as he was there. He hated what he was feeling, 109 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 15: and the mindset changed. And it's one of the greatest 110 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 15: stories in sports history. 111 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: It's insane. 112 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 8: And James, I was listening to ESPN Radio on the 113 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 8: way in this morning, and the morning crew there is 114 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 8: talking about this amazing story and they're trying to figure 115 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 8: out where what do you even compare too? And people 116 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 8: are calling up and they're talking about the Olympic hockey 117 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 8: team in nineteen eighty, they're talking about Buster Douglas. 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: People can't, We can't. We've been watching all year long. 119 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 8: How do you wrap your bringing around what this program 120 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 8: has done in twenty four months time. 121 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's hard to wrap your head around any of 122 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 13: it because for a lot of people it might not 123 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 13: seem real. A lot of people probably haven't gone asleep. 124 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 13: Yet if you're down here in Bloomington, they're still. 125 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: They know it's still on the Jimmy Johns sign. Did 126 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: he ever jump down? 127 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 13: But I think what really struck me was after the game, 128 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 13: Tyre's halliburn In tweeting out a state has never deserved 129 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 13: something more, congrats Indiana football. And the reason why it 130 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,119 Speaker 13: struck me so hard was because if there were something 131 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 13: to be compared to this moment, it would be had 132 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 13: the Pacers won Game seven, and knowing how improbable that 133 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 13: run was so one incredible feat incredible finisher. It was 134 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 13: definitely great drama there at the end of the game. 135 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 13: But one of the other takeaways I've had is the 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 13: people who keep saying, well, it can be done at 137 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 13: your school too. I don't want to go that far 138 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 13: because it is possible in theory, but I think that 139 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 13: kind of diminishes to a degree how special Kurt Signetti is, 140 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 13: how special this group is. Because yeah, I can go 141 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 13: out there if I'm manni Illinois grad and hope that 142 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 13: Brett Bielman and crew can recruit the bright players and 143 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 13: give us a chance and all that. But man, don't 144 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 13: get too caught up thinking you're what We just witnessed 145 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 13: sixteen and zero first team to do that since the 146 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 13: eighteen hundreds with Yale. That is not something that you 147 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 13: can just replicate because you have nil now in the 148 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 13: transfer portal. You have to find the right guy, with 149 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 13: the right vision, with the right players to get it done. 150 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 13: And even then, this wasn't like they blew out Miami 151 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 13: and just cake walked their way to a championship. It 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 13: took a lot of grit and shout out to Frianda Mendoza. 153 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 13: I know he won the Heisman, but he had a 154 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 13: Heisman moment there on that diving touchdown. 155 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: Talk to me, Kevin about that diving touchdown. 156 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 8: I this morning, my wife often wakes up early, four 157 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 8: four thirty early, and I had gotten about an hour 158 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 8: and a half, two hours of sleep finally, and I 159 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 8: come downstairs and my wife is sitting on the couch 160 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 8: watching the second half again, and she's on her phone 161 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 8: and she's saying, look at this angle of the Mendoza 162 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 8: touchdown run. My wife's a big sports fan, but we 163 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 8: went to one Indiana game this year and she kind 164 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 8: of became a fan there. So she's not like a 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 8: long died in the wool fan but she enjoys sports, 166 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 8: and she enjoys the story. She loves Fernando Mendoza, she 167 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 8: loves Kurt Signetti, and it's that guys like us, we're 168 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 8: obviously going to be captured by this is what we do. 169 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 8: This team has captured the people that kind of like 170 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 8: sport or my wife loves sports. 171 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 17: But they they're just this story, this group, this whatever 172 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 17: you want to call it. It's different, and everybody wants 173 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 17: to be a part of it. And I don't blame them. 174 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 15: Yeah, I got some Andrew Luck Superman vibes on that 175 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 15: play from Fernando Mendoza. You know the angle that the 176 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 15: ESPN camera initially had, you know, when he gets hit 177 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 15: there at the goal line. The first thing I said 178 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 15: to Maddie was I go, did he hold on to it? 179 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 15: You know, that was my first thought, just because he's 180 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 15: you know, I mean he had you know, Signetti didn't 181 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 15: beat around the bush. I mean he was batter bruised. 182 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 15: I thought several times it could have been flagged, frankly 183 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 15: for hits against him. And again I go back to 184 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 15: the call because you know, look back on the first 185 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 15: half last night. Signetti, for as brash as he is, 186 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 15: I would rather say he's a little bit more of 187 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 15: a conservative end game coach. You know, there at the 188 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 15: end of the first half, I was very confused why 189 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 15: they didn't try to go get points. Then, yes, but 190 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 15: on that drive, not only is the fourth and five 191 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 15: call that obviously is the play of the game, but 192 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 15: you know the Charlie Becker back shoulder from earlier in 193 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 15: that drive there, So again it's the call, it's the 194 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 15: fact that here's Mendoza who's been hit the most, he's 195 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 15: probably been hit in any certainly any games as a 196 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 15: member of the Indian Hoosiers, and for him to show 197 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 15: the toughness to absorb the hit and still go. You know, 198 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 15: it's not just like, hey, I'm gonna get the first 199 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 15: down and you know, live to see another down. He 200 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 15: then still has the effort like it's fourth and goal 201 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 15: with thirty seconds to go and they're down four. 202 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: It's just another feather in his cap. Of there's a 203 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: lot more there. 204 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 15: Than just the guy that says words that you know, 205 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 15: I guess Mark had a bleep one out today, But 206 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 15: the guy that says words that I'm not really sure 207 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 15: if they're. 208 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: In the dictionary. 209 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 15: I think the other play if I can mention it, 210 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 15: that is in just such and perfect microcosm of the 211 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 15: Indian Hoosiers is the block punt. Yes, because on that 212 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 15: play it was fourth and one and Indiana left their 213 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 15: defense out on the field. And you sometimes see this, 214 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 15: you know, hey, just in case if they're going to 215 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 15: do something here, we want our starting defense out there. 216 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 15: And oftentimes what you see is the defense just frankly 217 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 15: not really try on the punt. It's like, hey, don't 218 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 15: go off sides, let them punt it away, rough the kicker, 219 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 15: this dudal fair catch it behind us. We'll have great 220 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 15: field position, right. But that is a all American and 221 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 15: Mkal Kamara busting as you know what and taking advantage 222 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 15: of a Miami player half asking it. And to me, 223 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 15: that almost sums up the Indiana story more than anything. 224 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 15: In this quiet mid third quarter moment, you know, we're 225 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 15: gonna make sure that every play could be the difference maker, 226 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 15: and you know, Kamara had just been on the field 227 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 15: for the previous few plays. He easily could have just 228 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 15: gone hands on the hips there. And to James's point, 229 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 15: you don't go off sides, you don't rough the punter 230 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 15: or nothing like that. But no, he tries to create 231 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 15: havoc and he does that in that moment there. I 232 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 15: don't know if Indiana win the game without that play. 233 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 15: Miami I thought had started to really kind of insert 234 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 15: their will. So again, the Mendoza play is the watch shot. 235 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 15: It is key smart, it's all of that. But I 236 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 15: don't want to lose sight of that block punk because 237 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 15: I thought it was so fitting for what the season 238 00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 15: has been about. 239 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 8: It was amazing, as was the entire season, as was Hey, 240 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 8: look they gave us entertainment last night. 241 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 3: James. 242 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 8: I don't know about you, but I was up pacing 243 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 8: it on the edge of my seat the entire football game. 244 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: I mean, that was drama last night, all night long. Yeah, 245 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: and it tightened up there at the end. 246 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 13: But I figured at some point the mistakes Miami had 247 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 13: made we'll come back to bite them. And it goes 248 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 13: back to what Kevin has been saying the last couple 249 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 13: of weeks. The more disciplined team won and you go 250 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 13: back to the margins in that game, which is what 251 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 13: this game was one on. It was one on margins. 252 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 13: Miami just too many mental errors in a game where 253 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 13: you couldn't have that. 254 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 8: Many, well, not enough prior power for Miami to overcome 255 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 8: what was just an amazing defense all year long. 256 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: I want to point this out again, Kevin. We had 257 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: talked about this leading up to it, but if you 258 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: go down the entire. 259 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 8: Roster of opponents that Indiana played all year long, you 260 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 8: will only find four games in which the opposing team 261 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 8: in today's college football four teams that scored twenty or 262 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 8: more points, And nobody scored more than twenty four against 263 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 8: this team all season long in today's twenty twenty five 264 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 8: college football, now twenty twenty six college football, and the 265 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 8: firepower and the way offenses go, you don't see that anymore. 266 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: That's historically good. 267 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 15: Yeah, and it was kind of a sneaky thing at 268 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 15: the time. But I was a little surprised on that 269 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 15: final drive when Kurt Signetti took his last time out. 270 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 15: You know, I don't think Miami had maybe struck the 271 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 15: ultimate fear into the opponent of like you know, sometimes 272 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 15: the NFL, you're like, oh, yeah, they're gonna score, and 273 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 15: we just hope we have enough time left. But when 274 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 15: Signetti took that last time out, he pretty much surrendered 275 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 15: his offense having a chance to do something. If Miami 276 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 15: had scored there. That was their last time out. But 277 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 15: in that moment, it allowed everybody on that defense to reset, 278 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 15: and that allows your pass rush to reset, that allows 279 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 15: your defensive backs to reset. And you know, who knows 280 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 15: how Carson Beck was feeling after that hit on that 281 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 15: final drive. I saw he had some comments after the game, 282 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 15: but you know, Beck was gonna beck at some point, 283 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 15: and I thought, Brian Haynes that was the general premise 284 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 15: of their game plan all night long. 285 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna. 286 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 15: Mostly drop eight, even drop mostly drop seven, I should say, 287 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 15: sometimes eight, and we're gonna make him beat us. And 288 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 15: in that moment, you know, allah, I guess maybe a 289 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 15: little bit of you know, the Caleb Williams from you know, 290 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 15: Sunday Night. You know, let's see if this guy can 291 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 15: have the moxie to not you know, take that shot there, 292 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 15: and obviously the Jamari Sharp interception and the rest is 293 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 15: history right there. So yeah, boy, just freaking absurd. And boy, 294 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 15: I hope everyone's safe in Bloomington because that that party 295 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 15: looked like it had no signs of stoping. There no 296 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 15: signs of stop and we're gonna. 297 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 3: Call and check. 298 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 8: It's just a welfare check on JMV later tonight, who 299 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 8: texted us all about an hour after the game last. 300 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: Night said, I'm going out and having fun. I see 301 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: Mendoza and then Club eleven down there in Miami. 302 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 8: I'm not familiar with Club eleven, but you can talk 303 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 8: more about that where he needs to be. One more 304 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 8: thing before we break here that I did want to 305 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 8: point out the time out that Signetti took at the 306 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 8: very end of the game, the pulling, making sure, taking 307 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 8: another time out and making sure that you go for 308 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 8: it from the twelve yard line on fourth down and 309 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 8: what was it four or five before Vana Mendoza makes 310 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 8: that run? What does that say about Kirk Signetti and 311 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 8: the belief that he had in his football team.

They 376 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 8: were knocking guys back. They were all over Roman Henby, 377 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 8: they were hitting him hard. They hit Feranana Mendoza hard. 378 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 8: Probably should have been flagged once or twice. But Kurtzignetty 379 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 8: in that running again, they kept with it. They ran 380 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 8: the ball for one hundred and thirty one yards last night. 381 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 8: They just yeah, coming at yeah, yeah. 382 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: I thought they had a lot of timely runs. 383 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 15: There was that off sides penalty Miami had there, I 384 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 15: think it was in the first half, and then Indiana 385 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 15: ran it like on a third and eight and just 386 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 15: kind of gutted them right at the middle. I thought 387 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 15: they had a couple of those where, you know, with 388 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 15: the Heistman Trophy winning quarterback, you would think, hey, this 389 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 15: is a throw situation. And yet Indiana, which again it's 390 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 15: been probably more consistent frankly than their passing game all 391 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 15: year long, has been that rushing attack. And I just 392 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 15: saw some timely, really timely important runs. It wasn't, you know, 393 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 15: perfect by all, you know, any means all night long, 394 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 15: but some really really key runs. 395 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 3: And boy, you know, him being black, just run so hard. 396 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 3: Dah they do. 397 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 8: Michael Kamara had the blocked punt and it was recovered 398 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 8: in the end zone and that was a big play. 399 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 8: And then they got the interception at the very end 400 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 8: of the game. 401 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: That was a big play. 402 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 8: There were just so many As any National championship game, 403 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 8: it comes down to plays, and and he has just 404 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 8: made more plays than Miami did last night, James. 405 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and they made less mistakes. 406 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 13: Again, going back to what Kevin said and what many 407 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 13: of us have said all these airwaves the last few days, 408 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 13: which team is going to be more disciplined and and 409 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 13: you saw that. And I got a kick out of 410 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 13: even on the last drive Miami getting a delay of 411 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 13: game to start the drive because IU fans were so 412 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 13: loud in that part of the stadium. So you're at home, 413 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 13: playing in front and playing in an environment you're familiar with, 414 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 13: but it's actually not that familiar because you got those 415 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 13: Hoosiers fans ran down on you. 416 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 3: You know, we talk about oddities. 417 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 8: Here's a sixteen to oh team that just won a 418 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 8: college football national championship in today's era of offense. 419 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: Again, I go back to this, Kevin. They only had men. 420 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 8: Those only threw for three hundred yards one time. They 421 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 8: only had one, two, three, four one hundred yard rushing games, 422 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 8: even though those two guys usually got eighty ninety yards apiece. 423 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 8: And they did it as a team. But they didn't 424 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 8: just overwhelm you with stats sometimes. But they were so 425 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 8: efficient and yet they put up points all over the 426 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 8: place when they needed to. 427 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 15: I think a lot of those stats, frankly, have to 428 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 15: do with them just blowing the you know what out 429 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 15: of teams and not playing in the fourth quarter in. 430 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 3: A lot of those games. 431 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 15: Shout out to Charlie Becker, you know that storyline think 432 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 15: will be one of the more under the radar aspects 433 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 15: to this national title run of the Elijah Surratt injury 434 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 15: kind of forced Charlie Becker into you know, more meaningful 435 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 15: situations and guys in the game was on the line 436 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 15: last night. 437 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: Who did Fernando Medosa look for Randy Moss.

The next one 442 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 15: I believe was a third and steven. And those were 443 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 15: easy catches, you know, the one near the sideline. I 444 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 15: mean he had to be, you know, have the wherewithal 445 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 15: of exactly where he was in the field to not 446 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 15: just make the catch itself.

We're gonna make 647 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 13: this guy try to earn it, and we're gonna rob him. 648 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 13: We're gonna take his money. At some point like just 649 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 13: cut throat. 650 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that is Brian Haynes. 651 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 13: But I was just thinking, like every time I hear 652 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 13: a quote from him, I hear like dun dun dum music, 653 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 13: like this is not good. 654 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 3: I would have like bailed on everything that I wanted 655 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 3: to do. 656 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 15: So every time he just presses the walkie talkie, I 657 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 15: feel like he sounded like that exactly. 658 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 13: And again, trusting that all three phases of your team 659 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 13: is going to help you win this game, because had 660 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 13: they gone down there at score, you're saying, oh, we 661 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 13: could have won the game. 662 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: We had the ball in our hands. But you trust 663 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 3: your defense to make a play, and they did well. 664 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 3: It was great. 665 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 15: You know when we whatever made our picks to end 666 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 15: the show yesterday, I think I kind of said to 667 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 15: you guys all throughout last week, especially of like I 668 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 15: did think Miami would offer a different test, and I 669 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 15: did think it would be a close game. 670 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: And if you look at. 671 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 15: Last night, Indiana had a few cracking moments that were 672 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 15: not used to. 673 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: Was that Elijah Suratt's first drop in the history of football? 674 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean you want to talk about it, big 675 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 15: play there in the third quarter, James, you bring up 676 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 15: going for it potentially on that final drive. The reason 677 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 15: why that is a debate is because your left tackle, 678 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 15: arguably you're not even arguably your best offensive lineman, has 679 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 15: the false start. I mean, Indiana had a few moments 680 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 15: there where it was like this stage is a little different. Yeah, 681 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 15: and you know, again, the passing game wasn't perfect by 682 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 15: any means. Mendoza was getting hit, you know, to their degree, 683 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 15: easily the most he had been all season long, and 684 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 15: so it was a little bit of you know, kind 685 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 15: of gut check time here. But again they delivered. And 686 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 15: I'll keep on coming back to that signetti time out 687 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 15: there on the final drive. Again, there are a lot 688 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 15: of coaches James and Shane Siken will probably be at 689 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 15: the top of the list, and not to turn this 690 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 15: into like a Shane sykein debate, but just to you know, 691 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 15: throw it out there for our market standpoint, A lot 692 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 15: of coaches would save that last time out. Yeah, he 693 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 15: took that time out to regroup, not because of clock. 694 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 15: Yeah he didn't save that time out for his final drive. 695 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 15: By taking that time out. 696 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: He literally said, Brian Haynes, it's on you. 697 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 15: Yep, we're not going to get the ball back with 698 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 15: realistic opportunity left here from a clock standpoint, and you know, 699 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 15: on those final drives. I find it really interesting when 700 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 15: defenses do take timeouts there. You know, oftentimes it's because 701 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 15: your pass rush has been out on the field for 702 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 15: three or four straight plays and you know, their hands 703 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 15: on the hips and you can't feel like you're dialing 704 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 15: any of that up. And I'd be really curious as 705 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 15: we get, you know, more into the reactionary part. I 706 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 15: assume they'll have, of course, meat availabilities. I continue to say, 707 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 15: a parade. I assume there'll be something down there in Bloomington. 708 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 15: But I'd love to know what that conversation was within 709 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 15: the timeout of we're going to continue to play coverage. Yes, 710 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 15: but also did it allow your dbs to regroup a 711 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 15: little bit and say, all right, everybody calm down here. 712 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 15: I get we all want to make the play to 713 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 15: win the national championship. Let's calm down, Let's continue to 714 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 15: play our coverage. And you know, you watch that play 715 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 15: and it's you know, very simple, it's cover two and 716 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 15: that that corner just continues to sink and continues to sink. 717 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 15: And Carson Beck, I think if he throws that ball 718 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 15: maybe outside shoulder. 719 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 3: It's a different story through it. But he under threw 720 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 3: it and the rest is history. 721 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,239 Speaker 8: All right, Let's go back to the phone lines two, three, nine, ten, 722 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 8: seventy again, it's a championship Tuesday.

What was your reaction in that 741 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 13: stadium in that moment, knowing that might have sealed the 742 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 13: national championship? 743 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 16: Oh, everybody around us or high fiving or tagging each other. 744 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 20: I mean everybody was sayably at that moment. 745 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 10: I mean it was just it was gritty. 746 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 15: Can we get a final percentage of fans?

But they had 755 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 8: asked everyone in the stadium at hard at I want 756 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 8: to say hard rock, who what song they wanted to 757 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 8: hear next? And I forget who the options were. One 758 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 8: of them was John Cougar Mellencamp. And they showed the 759 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 8: results of that poll. Sixty six percent of the people 760 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 8: said John Cougar Mellencamp and the caption underneath the tweet was, 761 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 8: I think we know what the percentage of Indiana fans 762 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 8: at the ballgame is tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if 763 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 8: it was sixty six percent. There's a lot of red 764 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 8: in that stadium last night. 765 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 13: Man, that's awesome. And this gets more context here, Gritty. 766 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 13: I think she told us that she had been a 767 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 13: season ticket holder. 768 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 3: For years and years and years, a real deal, which 769 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 3: is why she. 770 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 13: Had an opportunity to even get some of the ticket 771 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 13: A lot man make the trip to Miami see that 772 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 13: game in person. 773 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 3: So it's people like that, Kevin, did. 774 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 13: You think of the most sure when you go through 775 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 13: all the lose it and you stay committed and you 776 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 13: finally get to get the last left. 777 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 16: Yeah. 778 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 15: I thought it was really cool from ESPN side of it, 779 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 15: the Don Fisher acknowledgment for those that went to BED. 780 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 15: I don't know how you could have right when that 781 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 15: game ended, but they showed the Don Fisher call the 782 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 15: camera of him he was he was holding that uh 783 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 15: that that stiff Mike that is so iconic for him. 784 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 8: On that call. 785 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 15: I thought it was really cool for Kirk herbs Street 786 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 15: and Chris Faller to mention Lee Corso and yes and 787 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 15: all that, and like even people that aren't in that linelight. Well, 788 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 15: you know, whether it's a Mark Deal, whether it's a 789 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 15: Chuck Crab, whether it's the Mallory family. You know, how 790 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 15: could you not think about Terry Heppner and albeit you know, 791 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 15: tragically it wasn't a long long time in Bloomington, but 792 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 15: what he brought there and potentially you know, starting this 793 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 15: turnaround because again Kurt Signetty obviously the statue will be built, 794 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 15: but as you know, Signetti has even pointed out Scott 795 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 15: Dolsim has pointed out. 796 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 3: This has been something in the works. 797 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,439 Speaker 15: And you know, Pam Witten, the fact that she spent 798 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 15: five years at Georgia. You know, I don't think Michael 799 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 15: McRobbie's history in Australian American football was probably at the 800 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 15: forefront of his mind there compared to Pam Witten five 801 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 15: years in the SEC and without it, I don't think 802 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 15: last night is possible. 803 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 8: Let's go back to the phone lines right now at 804 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 8: two three nine ten seventy as we have a ton 805 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 8: of folks that want to talk to us.

That's 822 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 19: when I was like, what is going on? This is 823 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 19: bigger than I ever imagined, you know.

I've kind of started following the team. 836 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 8: I liked him, you know, when Tom Allen was there. 837 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 8: They had a nice story going on, and then just 838 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 8: to watch them and cover them. 839 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 3: It's fun. 840 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 8: I had a slight emotional moment last night when at 841 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 8: the at the end of the game for Indoza, his 842 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 8: mom is and his dad and his brother are down 843 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 8: on the field and I think his aunt too, and 844 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 8: the embrace between him and his mother. 845 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 3: That almost got me for a second there, James, I'm 846 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 3: not gonna lie. That was pretty cool. He got Maddie 847 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 3: bone yea. It gives you some perspective. 848 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 13: And in the fact that his dad never stands up 849 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 13: and always celebrates the Lomanes with her, and how like 850 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 13: subconsciously it is probably the thing that he does year 851 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 13: after year. That was really cool and great year from 852 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 13: Rusty as well. I will say, I don't know. I 853 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 13: didn't get into emotional myself. 854 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 3: I haven't been a part of the losing but I 855 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 3: will say after they whooved Illinois, it didn't take take 856 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 3: me too much for me to believe in this team 857 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 3: and what they were able to do, and just to 858 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 3: finish it off in that fashion. I mean, it wasn't 859 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 3: their best game. I thought. Again, like I told you all, 860 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 3: I thought Miami had to play almost perfect to win. 861 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 3: They did not. 862 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 13: And then I believe you kind of got out of 863 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 13: that game, not to just credit Miami at all, they 864 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 13: at a lot of the mistakes you made was because 865 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 13: of how good Miami was. But I thought that was 866 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 13: like a be minus performance from the Hoosiers considering some 867 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 13: of the penalties they had and some of miss cues, 868 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 13: and they still were able to go out there and 869 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 13: win because they're just a tougher agree to your team. 870 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 15: Yeah, you know a couple of things. Rusty's call kind 871 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 15: of ignited in me. I guess historically, you know, every 872 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 15: person that's probably attended Indiana University the last thirty years 873 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 15: can go over their football resume, and. 874 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 3: It sounds reminiscent that. I believe mine. 875 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 15: In the four years there was, I think they lost 876 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 15: the ball state twice, if not three times. It might 877 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 15: have been my if I would have done a fifth year. 878 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 15: I think I was the third loss to ball State. 879 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 15: Three Big Ten wins in four years, boy three and 880 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 15: twenty eight in the Big Ten in my four years. 881 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 15: And literally the thing that I remember the most about 882 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 15: the two things I remember the most about the football 883 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 15: programer I was there. 884 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 3: They gave up eighty three to Wisconsin. 885 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 15: It's a football game, eighty three points to Wisconsin, and 886 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 15: Kevin Wilson yelling out a McNutt ra And this goes 887 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 15: to show you with Indiana University program is at McNutt 888 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 15: is probably a foreign word to you. 889 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 3: That's a dormitory. That's where Indiana. 890 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 15: University put their football coach up in the first week 891 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 15: on the job. He was in a McNutt dormitory suite. 892 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 15: Now can you imagine a major college football program putting 893 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 15: up their newly hired football coach. I mean, Kevin Wilson 894 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 15: was kind of a big, big ish name. You know, 895 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 15: he had come from, you know, some big schools, and 896 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 15: you put him up in the dorm and Kevin Wilson's 897 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 15: you know, temper got the best of him one night 898 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 15: and he is literally yelling at an ra who is 899 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 15: trying to defuse the situation between James Boyd former RA. 900 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 3: Correct. 901 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 15: Yes, this RA was trying to defuse a situation with 902 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 15: an underage student and alcohol, and Kevin Wilson is not 903 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 15: happy that he is not being catered to as the 904 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 15: McNutt resident. 905 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 3: Like that's that's the state of the football program. 906 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 13: I'm gonna say this though, as the former RA this 907 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 13: kind of reminds me of so being the Illinois grad. 908 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 13: The Cubs won their first World Series in over one 909 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 13: hundred years when I was in college and the resident 910 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 13: director who was my bad at the time, legitimately wanted me. 911 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 3: To walk around our dormitory and right noise complains about 912 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 3: people who are being too loud. No, come on, now, 913 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 3: the guy was anti sport. Kevin, I have never that's 914 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 3: probably the worst moment. You did not bow down to. 915 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 8: No. 916 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 3: No, The only thing I ever did was is kid 917 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 3: plew go Cubs go on blast on hy stereo and 918 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 3: left the room. So I got the master keet and 919 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 3: went in. After about literally like. 920 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 13: Six hours, I went in, he was not there, turn 921 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 13: the radio off, and then close the door back. But 922 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 13: again he wanted me to write noise cause I'm like no, 923 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,439 Speaker 13: So like all I had to say no class today. 924 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 13: If there is class today, anybody showing up for it 925 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 13: and enjoy it because this is a core memory you'll 926 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:40,919 Speaker 13: never forget. 927 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 15: And the one other thing I'll add from Rusty's call 928 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 15: there too, and Jeff you you brought it up in 929 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 15: the Mendoza moment with his family. For ninety eight percent 930 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 15: of sports fans, the winning is all that matters. Like 931 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 15: if you're a pretdue basketball fan, you'll take that national 932 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 15: championship game in freaking Siberia. It doesn't have to be 933 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 15: in Lucasolo Stadium if you're team gets it done coming 934 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 15: up in April. 935 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,760 Speaker 3: But think about the cherry on top for the IU 936 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 3: national title. 937 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 15: The Mendoza story is moving like just the mom, the family, 938 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 15: how he acts, how he carries himself, all of those things. 939 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 15: Think back to Scott Dolson's conversation with us yesterday about 940 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 15: his first interaction with Mendoza. 941 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 3: But it's more than just that. 942 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 15: It's the memories of Aidan Fisher getting on the mic 943 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,479 Speaker 15: at the end of the Big Ten championship game inside 944 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 15: of Lucasolo Stadium and starting the fight song. It's all 945 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,800 Speaker 15: the Indiana fans driving down sixty five a week and 946 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 15: a half ago to go to Atlanta, Like, not every 947 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 15: year do you have the driveable playoff site, and yet 948 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 15: you had that this year. The JMU aspect to it, 949 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,800 Speaker 15: it's not Indiana Kids necessarily, but still I think that 950 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 15: JMU the thirteen of them, if you will, and how 951 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 15: many of them were huge last night? Kamara makes the 952 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 15: huge play on the block. Pont Obviously, Danzel Pons continues 953 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 15: to be one of one of the best players. You 954 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 15: make the Rose Bowl, it's your first you know, bulwin 955 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 15: and what since the Copper Bowl in ninety one? And 956 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 15: who's the opponent in the Rose bull It's big bad 957 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 15: Alabama out of the SEC and you beat the living 958 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 15: breaks off them. Like to me, obviously, when you win 959 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 15: the title, a lot of people don't care about all 960 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 15: the other stuff that trickles, you know, off of that. 961 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 15: But the fact that there's so many of those aspects 962 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,280 Speaker 15: to this season. I haven't even mentioned Omar Cooper Junior's 963 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,759 Speaker 15: catch in Happy Valley. When's the last time that they 964 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 15: won in Happy Valley? Like, there's just so much of 965 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 15: that that when you present the script to Hollywood, Hollywood 966 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 15: will look at and say, hey, we. 967 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 3: Can't do all that. No no, no, no, no, Like 968 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 3: you know, this is too corny. We fake the movie 969 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,719 Speaker 3: rudy enough. We can't go full on there. But this 970 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 3: movie has all of that and it's real. 971 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 19: All right. 972 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 8: We're gonna turn with the show over to the phone 973 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 8: calls and texts coming up in a moment here to 974 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 8: let you just just soak it in, feel it, breathe it, 975 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 8: live it.

It'll be Key Smart, It'll be Christian Watt 1076 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 15: for for many people to be topping those two. 1077 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 3: That game, that moment, that's gonna be number one. 1078 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 15: Well, I mean, again not to get into technicalities here, 1079 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 15: but I don't know he's smart, you know, based on 1080 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 15: jumping to win a national title. I mean, some people 1081 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 15: would you know put that up there. But again we are, 1082 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 15: we are splitting hairs to thegree year. 1083 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 3: You know, I'm thinking between championships, this wasn't a thing before. 1084 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 3: And I'll continue to go back to that block punt. 1085 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 3: I just. 1086 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 15: Just to refresh everybody's memory on that. That was a 1087 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 15: fourth and one where first off. They had made a 1088 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 15: nice tackle Malkai Toni to keep him short of the 1089 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 15: sticks to get it to fourth and one, and then 1090 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 15: AU leave their defense out there. And nine times out 1091 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,839 Speaker 15: of ten you watch a defense to be out there 1092 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 15: for punt safe and they barely even rush going after 1093 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 15: the punter because you're thinking there, don't go off sides 1094 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,240 Speaker 15: and don't rough and McHale Kamara and all American who's 1095 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 15: probably had a little bit of an underwhelming year compared 1096 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 15: to where it was last year, battle of the injuries. 1097 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 15: He busts his ass on that play and the Miami 1098 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 15: dude eighty seven he half asked it. And that to 1099 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 15: me just epitomizes who Indiana is and who their opponents 1100 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 15: quite often have been. Indiana place, who was standard, no 1101 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,879 Speaker 15: matter the time of the game, no matter the play, 1102 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 15: no matter the magnitude. It's not fourth and five after 1103 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 15: a time out where the whole building knows the magnitude 1104 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 15: of the play. You never know when that moment's going 1105 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 15: to be there. And that play, I think deserves to 1106 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 15: live in quite a bit of lore as well. 1107 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,239 Speaker 8: All Right, we have somebody who was at the game 1108 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 8: on the line right now.

This is all stuff of dreams. It was, 1149 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 20: you know, a myth. It would have been a false story. 1150 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 20: It had been fiction back in the day. And last 1151 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 20: night you kind of saw it all before us at 1152 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 20: hard Rock, and it wasn't so much about the crowd 1153 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 20: being joyous and celebrating and partying. It was more about 1154 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 20: the emotion of look what we've been through and who 1155 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,800 Speaker 20: we are right now, and you can tell that a 1156 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 20: lot of people are still trying to really have it 1157 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 20: soaked in that this was happening. It was as magical 1158 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 20: a moment. I mentioned this a little bit earlier in 1159 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 20: my lifetime. Guys, it's the biggest college or professional sports 1160 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 20: moment of my lifetime considering where they were and where 1161 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 20: they are now. And I think secondarily it's only a 1162 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 20: runner up to Mira colanta Ice for the greatest sports story. 1163 00:53:59,040 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 10: That's not hyperbole. 1164 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 20: That is just the truth, considering who they were and 1165 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 20: who they are now. And if you were there last 1166 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 20: night to see all that that raw emotion and that realism, 1167 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 20: if you were able to witness it, you'd know exactly 1168 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:12,720 Speaker 20: what I was talking about. It was incredible. 1169 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,800 Speaker 13: We have John Michael Vincent on the line here JMV. 1170 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 13: Listen to him Monday through Friday here on one A 1171 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,839 Speaker 13: sevent five of the Fan the Ride three to six. 1172 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 13: And I will say this, John, I'll forgive you for 1173 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 13: skipping our Sunday morning hoofs. 1174 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 3: You know, legacies are on the line. We needed you. 1175 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 3: You weren't there. You know, I think this is a 1176 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,840 Speaker 3: good exception or a good reason to miss out to 1177 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 3: see the Who's the one? And Natty. 1178 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 13: But when you think of friend of them, Mendoza, that 1179 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 13: moment where he crosses the goal line, dive in batter 1180 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 13: breuce scores, how will that moment for you rank in Indiana? 1181 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,719 Speaker 3: Lore say great lead? 1182 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 20: And by the way, too, you see what happens with 1183 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:49,799 Speaker 20: basketball when I'm gone? 1184 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,799 Speaker 3: Everything is it all fell apart at all? 1185 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 20: It all goes to hell? 1186 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 3: Hey, guys. 1187 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 20: I spent Sunday afternoon with the Jones family, the Jones 1188 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 20: family DJ Jones that played at Ohio State and his 1189 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 20: sons Isaiah Jones, who had the touchdown of the block 1190 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,839 Speaker 20: punt last night. And this is what I gathered from 1191 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 20: Mendoza last night and for this team and for Isaiah 1192 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 20: moving forward. All they talked about was legacy, like this 1193 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 20: is so meaningful in a world and a landscape or 1194 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 20: guys moving all over the place and could get paid 1195 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 20: more going someplace else and are constantly getting overtures from 1196 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 20: other teams on their programs about hey, come here and 1197 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 20: we'll pay you more. It has been all about the 1198 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 20: legacy of being one of one. And that's what really 1199 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 20: what struck me when I was hanging around with their 1200 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 20: family about what you know, their son thought about his 1201 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 20: situation and James that was much like Fernando Mendoza, that's 1202 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 20: his legacy, no matter what happens anywhere else professionally, no 1203 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,359 Speaker 20: matter what he's done, and I'm sure he'll have a great, 1204 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 20: great career. That his legacy, and he was a party 1205 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,799 Speaker 20: given this is a one of one story and it's 1206 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,720 Speaker 20: not likely to be done ever by anybody else, certainly 1207 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 20: in college football. So it was about the legacy of 1208 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 20: that moment last night, about the plays that made on 1209 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,800 Speaker 20: the field, and about the moments. You know, it's funny 1210 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 20: you leave those moments up. We saw a drastic difference 1211 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 20: last night, do not. You saw Mendoza making a play, 1212 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,160 Speaker 20: not incredible stats, but making a play when it was necessary. 1213 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,680 Speaker 20: And then Carson Beck Miami fans knew this and in 1214 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 20: the stadium that he was going to be incapable of 1215 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 20: making that level of play. And that is the difference 1216 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 20: and to most of these players, which I think it 1217 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,240 Speaker 20: makes it even more enhanced being special, that it's about 1218 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 20: the legacy of doing something that nobody could possibly ever 1219 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,279 Speaker 20: do again. 1220 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,280 Speaker 3: And that makes it even extra special. 1221 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 15: That is, of course, Sam the excellent work yesterday John 1222 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 15: on the show down there from the diplomat thoroughly enjoyed 1223 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 15: listening to that. You probably missed it, obviously you were 1224 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,879 Speaker 15: busy in the stadium. But ESPN showed the camera shot 1225 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 15: of Don Fisher on the Jamari Sharp call. And you know, 1226 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 15: I've thought about a lot of people John, as I'm 1227 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 15: sure you have over the last twelve hours or so. 1228 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 15: But you know, I know how close you are with 1229 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 15: Don and those Friday conversations. I enjoy thoroughly that you 1230 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 15: two have, and just you know, people like that, you know, 1231 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 15: whether you know whoever else you want to throw into 1232 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 15: that group, Chuck Crab, Mark Deal, you know, Terry Heppner's family, 1233 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,360 Speaker 15: you know, the Mallories, you know all of it. It 1234 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 15: just really thinking about so many of those people that 1235 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 15: have been there through literally thick, much more than thin. 1236 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's funny with Don. Gon was the first one 1237 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,160 Speaker 20: on a cav Don told me about this team last summer, 1238 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 20: and in particular it's probably not the greatest example today 1239 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 20: because the quarterback, you know, got the crap beat out 1240 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 20: of him. And see Nettie mentioned that, hey. 1241 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 8: We're gonna get We're gonna call John back. There's the 1242 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 8: phone line went sideways there for. 1243 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 3: A second, he's a championship monk. 1244 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, but no, it's a great question. And I wanted 1245 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 8: to hear him talk about spending that time with Donald and. 1246 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 3: It might have been something he was drinking last night. 1247 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 3: You're going there with JMV right there. 1248 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 15: No chance in hell, And I'd be answering the phone 1249 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 15: this early in the morning not to do whippets before 1250 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 15: he came. 1251 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 16: He got a. 1252 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 3: Helium balloon in the lobby of there, the diplomat down there. 1253 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. 1254 00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 13: JMV loves in this life.

I had nothing to do 1280 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 20: with the Wi Fi's building there. That that was just 1281 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 20: from last night. 1282 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 10: So no, seriously, Don was the first one on to this. 1283 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 20: He told me last summer that this team is going 1284 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 20: to be different even than the one in year number 1285 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 20: one for Kurt Signetti, so he's been on this really early. 1286 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 20: But no, you think about so many different people that 1287 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 20: have been in and around this program, around IU Athletics 1288 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 20: and guys the magnitude of the losing has been documented, 1289 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 20: but how about guys like Adawally Agunlee, who was on 1290 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 20: with me yesterday down on the field last night. He 1291 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 20: and the NFL played so many years at a high 1292 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 20: level and was always collegiately the butt of jokes. He 1293 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 20: had to take a lot of ribbing. If you went 1294 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 20: to IU was all about basketball and that was great. 1295 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 20: But you know, football was the butt of jokes, and 1296 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 20: it is no longer a joke right now. And there 1297 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 20: were so many ghosts of a program that has so 1298 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 20: been dormant for more so many decades last night that 1299 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 20: were put to bed. Here's saw, you know, all of 1300 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 20: that negativity leave these football fans bodies and it's gone forever. 1301 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,919 Speaker 20: It was like a massive exorcism and hard rock last 1302 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:51,120 Speaker 20: night of proportions I can't really describe. And that's always 1303 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 20: sruck me about don or guys that have been a 1304 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 20: part of the program or just long time fans. I 1305 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 20: had a lady just on the trip here named Susie 1306 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 20: that had been going to football games since nineteen sixty 1307 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 20: seven that rose Bowl team and got emotional on the air.

This is so 1310 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 20: much more meaningful than just going and getting a win 1311 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 20: and Hey, we're the little engine that could. As I 1312 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 20: mentioned earlier, guys, it is about shedding one legacy and 1313 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 20: creating a one of one legacy now with that win 1314 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:31,680 Speaker 20: and an unbeaten season this past year, it's hard to fathom, 1315 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 20: but it actually happened. And you could see the tears 1316 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 20: of joy, the emotion last night and so many faces. 1317 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 20: And that's what has made this total trip even extra 1318 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 20: special because they cashed in on something that everybody to 1319 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 20: a person felt was going to be so improbable and 1320 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 20: probably nothing more than a dream, and it was actually 1321 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 20: reality last night. 1322 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 3: JMV. 1323 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 8: Thanks as always for getting up early, even though Tony 1324 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 8: Cats drug you out of bed.

You know, when you think back to the 1345 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 15: Super Bowl for the Colts, it was a game that 1346 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 15: lacked I think a lot of you know, crazy crazy highlights. 1347 01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 3: You know, Reggie Wayne obviously catches the infamous ball in 1348 01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 3: the rain. 1349 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 15: There obviously Kelvin Hayden and that you know, pick six 1350 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 15: to ice it would probably be the one. And you know, 1351 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 15: I I unfortunately for a guy like Tyrus Halliburt, and 1352 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 15: I think you just have to have the championship to 1353 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,439 Speaker 15: go with it to really you know, for see those 1354 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 15: individual obviously Gordon Hayward. If that shot goes in, it's, 1355 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,600 Speaker 15: you know, frankly one of the greatest moments in sports period, 1356 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,640 Speaker 15: if not the greatest, you know, that would be right 1357 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 15: up there. But yeah, you know, as much of it 1358 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 15: and you know, Mark, maybe on the other side, we 1359 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 15: can play Mendoza kind of getting into the weeds a 1360 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 15: little bit more on that play, because you know, it 1361 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 15: sounds like that was something that was really not only 1362 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,440 Speaker 15: debated on the sidelines, Signetti obviously taking a time out, 1363 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:40,080 Speaker 15: but based off what Mendoza said, you know, it was 1364 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 15: almost like when you come to the line of scrimmage, 1365 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,919 Speaker 15: if you see I believe he said, if you see man, 1366 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 15: then you throw it, and if you see zone, then 1367 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 15: you run it. So and he said, you know, after 1368 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 15: the snap, it was kind of he saw half and 1369 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 15: half a little bit there, and you know, a night 1370 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 15: where he got hit like none other. He showed just 1371 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 15: the heart of a lion, frankly and bouncing off a 1372 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 15: tackler and then the extension I got such Andrew luck 1373 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,160 Speaker 15: vibes from that twenty thirteen Super Bowl, or I shouldn't 1374 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 15: say super Bowl, I should say Spider Man, Superman. I 1375 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,680 Speaker 15: guess what I'm looking for here. That sort of effort 1376 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:15,920 Speaker 15: that he showed against the Chiefs. 1377 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:16,960 Speaker 3: Amazing stuff. 1378 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 16: Mark. 1379 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 8: Let's do a quick checkdown and then we'll get right 1380 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 8: back into phone calls and texts from everybody else as 1381 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 8: we celebrate this Championship with you all day long here 1382 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 8: at ninety five and one oh seven five the Fan. 1383 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 1: The Morning Checkdown brought to you by the Barbasol Horizon 1384 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 1: League Basketball Championships, Mars Stars Year the Barbarisol Horizon League 1385 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 1: Basketball Championships.

Miami 1421 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 8: answered it was seventeen fourteen. And then maybe one of 1422 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 8: the greatest plays in the history of Indiana football and 1423 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 8: college football takes place on a fourth and five at 1424 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 8: the Miami twelve, with nine to eighteen remaining in the game. 1425 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 3: This happened.

Mendoza ready to 1427 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 3: take the staff. He takes it. 1428 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,680 Speaker 9: He looks, he looks, he throws the football and he 1429 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 9: runs it. 1430 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 3: No, he runs it. Penny tie for the US up. 1431 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 3: Does he get it? In tousto? 1432 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 7: Mendoza runs the football at score. 1433 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 8: How many guys smacked him at the five yard line 1434 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 8: at least three there. Then he spins off that to 1435 01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 8: the left. Then he sees he's close to the goal line, 1436 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 8: so he goes airborne and two more guys pop him. 1437 01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 15: Hell of an effort, to say the least there from Mendoz. 1438 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 15: Early in that drive he had the Charlie Becker the 1439 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 15: first of the two. 1440 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:28,439 Speaker 3: Again. 1441 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 15: You know, Becker has just turned into this guy that 1442 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 15: you throw to these critical, critical situations. I thought both 1443 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 15: of those catches just absolutely outstanding from him to get 1444 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,400 Speaker 15: in bounds. I think that was the first one on 1445 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 15: the fourth down there. Yeah, just really a Heisman moment 1446 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 15: from Fernandos on a night when it was not smooth 1447 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 15: sailing for him whatsoever. And to show the you know 1448 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 15: what on that play onions is probably the best way 1449 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 15: I can put it. 1450 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 3: Big time.

But he just kept 1459 01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 13: going man kind of pingponed his way into the end zone. 1460 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 3: Like hold on to the football. 1461 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1462 01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,600 Speaker 13: No, I was definitely screaming that, and he committed the 1463 01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 13: cardinal sin of stretching the ball across the goal line. 1464 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 13: It's like when Michael Phelps won the when he won 1465 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 13: the eight gold medals in the Olympics, and he did 1466 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 13: like that little half. 1467 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 3: Stroke at the end. You know, you're not supposed to 1468 01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,640 Speaker 3: do that, but it worked.

Shane said, I can really the third 1492 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 15: longest tenured head coach right now the AFC. 1493 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 3: Rank the coaches in the AFC South is that. 1494 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 15: I don't answer that, Andy Reid, Zach Taylor, and then 1495 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 15: you get into Shane Steichen and the rest of that coaching. 1496 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I just I mean all of it. 1497 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 15: Miami had some individual dudes, and you know that's why 1498 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 15: I did think this would be a close game. I 1499 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,280 Speaker 15: thought their individual talent would rise to the occasion, but 1500 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 15: at the same time didn't trust their discipline. 1501 01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,720 Speaker 3: And I mean no play summed it up more than 1502 01:09:58,800 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 3: you know. 1503 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 15: The opening kickoff and they get delay a game there 1504 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,719 Speaker 15: on the final drive there to set them behind the chains. 1505 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 15: But again the signetti time out just a little thing 1506 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,639 Speaker 15: on that final drive. A lot of coaches I don't 1507 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 15: think would be calling a time out in that moment. 1508 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 15: He regrouped his defense there and they come out and 1509 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,280 Speaker 15: they make the play of Jamari Sharp's career. 1510 01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,720 Speaker 8: Amazing stuff. They win a twenty seven to twenty one. 1511 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,679 Speaker 8: They are national champions.

And then 1627 01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,040 Speaker 16: it was just a flood of people and the fight song, 1628 01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,400 Speaker 16: you know, the chance It was, like I said, as a. 1629 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,640 Speaker 3: Dream, Jay Law, the one for me. 1630 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 13: I do want to ask, just making the decision to 1631 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 13: go to National Championship, why was it so important for 1632 01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,040 Speaker 13: you to be there in person to experience this, not 1633 01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 13: knowing obviously if they were going to win or lose, 1634 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 13: and then having that out come that they had last night. 1635 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 16: A few reasons. My whole family's lifelong fans. My Scissor 1636 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:14,479 Speaker 16: and I are grats, my daughters are grads. Dad was 1637 01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 16: a huge fan season ticket holder fifteen plus years. I'm 1638 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 16: going through some health stuff now, as most of you know, 1639 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,360 Speaker 16: so it made even more special. Quite honestly, I was 1640 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:26,080 Speaker 16: not going to miss it. 1641 01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 15: Jylaw, congrats, man, you deserve it. I know so many 1642 01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 15: people down there.

I appreciate you guys all the coverage you do. 1645 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 16: And like I said, I thought it was a dream 1646 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 16: till I woke up again. 1647 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,360 Speaker 8: Well, it's good stuff. You're not dreaming, it's real. Feel better. 1648 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,560 Speaker 8: We're here with you and we keep looking forward to 1649 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 8: all your feedback on social media and the phone lines. 1650 01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 16: Man. 1651 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,800 Speaker 8: Thanks, there is Jaylaw who is truly a P one 1652 01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 8: listener all the time every where, and I'm sure many 1653 01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:05,519 Speaker 8: people I'm wondering, unless you got behind on this escort 1654 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 8: last night, it might have been two o'clock in the 1655 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 8: morning for some people got back to their hotel. 1656 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,519 Speaker 15: Yeah, I kind of heard mixed reactions from some people 1657 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,680 Speaker 15: that you know said, you know, getting into the stadium again. 1658 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about yesterday. 1659 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 15: Obviously, when the president appears anywhere, security is going to 1660 01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,080 Speaker 15: be quite something. But I think it was kind of 1661 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,040 Speaker 15: mixed back. Some people a little bit more difficult than others. 1662 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,439 Speaker 15: But man, that game, I mean, it really lived up 1663 01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 15: to it. You know, from a hype standpoint, we haven't 1664 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,679 Speaker 15: had a national championship. You know, I think have that many. 1665 01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:32,799 Speaker 15: You know, at the two minute warning, you know, Indiana 1666 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 15: was still possessing the ball, and you know, I think 1667 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:40,720 Speaker 15: what really stands out is, you know you had last night. 1668 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 15: You had a few cracking moments for Indiana. You had 1669 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 15: Elijah I didn't know Elijah Sourroak could drop a football. 1670 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 15: I mean you had a big third down drop from him. 1671 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 15: You had Carter Smith, their best offensive linemen, have a 1672 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 15: false start penalty that could have been the difference, easily 1673 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 15: could have been the difference in the game. And you know, 1674 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 15: I didn't truss Carson Beck to drive down the field, 1675 01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,879 Speaker 15: but you know that's one Malachi Tony forcing a mistackle 1676 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 15: away from potentially you know, that drive looking a whole 1677 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 15: lot different there at the end, and you know again, 1678 01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 15: I know it's not maybe the sexiest thing to point out, 1679 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,880 Speaker 15: but I Kurtz Signetti just taking the time out there. Yes, 1680 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 15: it eliminated probably Indiana having a realistic chance to do 1681 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,599 Speaker 15: anything with the football had they gotten it back. 1682 01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 3: But he felt like at that. 1683 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 15: Point, this is going to be on our defense and 1684 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,879 Speaker 15: we need to regroup, and their pass rush was struggling. 1685 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 15: The Indiana pass rush did not get did not affect Beck, 1686 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 15: I think enough at all. But in that moment there 1687 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 15: you were able to regroup and Jamar Sharp obviously makes 1688 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:42,200 Speaker 15: a play of a lifetime. 1689 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 8: All right, let's go check Daniel next on the phone 1690 01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 8: lines A two, three, nine, ten, seventy Happy Championship Tuesday. 1691 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 10: Daniel, you're up, Yeah, fantastic.

But sig to 1703 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 10: stick with the run. You know, there are lots of 1704 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 10: you know, just one two yard runs and we were 1705 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 10: at fourth and fourth and four or five six yards 1706 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 10: third downs a ton and then to see that false 1707 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,680 Speaker 10: start bar, you know, all world freaking tackles and just 1708 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 10: barely It's a thing that I was like, wow, could 1709 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:42,800 Speaker 10: they call that there? 1710 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 8: But he knew he did it too. 1711 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,680 Speaker 10: He owned it. But then the guts and trust and 1712 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 10: coaching for that for Jamari Sharp to sit there and go, Okay, 1713 01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:53,800 Speaker 10: I know my safety's over the top.

But I'll 1716 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 10: tell you what, at the very end of that game there, 1717 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 10: I was like, are we going to get a safety here? 1718 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 10: I have to punt the ball back to that fair. 1719 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,479 Speaker 10: I don't know if everybody else was seeing that, but 1720 01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,639 Speaker 10: I was like, this game's out over. I'm like whoa, whoa, 1721 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,559 Speaker 10: And Mondilga was very aware of it. He probably put 1722 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 10: his most effort into getting that one yard there. Then 1723 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:19,840 Speaker 10: he did the entire game. 1724 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, and he didn't go straight up the middle. He 1725 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 8: kind of slid off to the right side to get 1726 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:24,880 Speaker 8: that extra yard. 1727 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 10: He kept his wits.

For some that were fortunate enough to go, 1816 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 15: they were able to go to Atlanta for the semi 1817 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 15: final game like those like all of that is not 1818 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 15: like a guarantee when you go on these runs. No, 1819 01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:31,800 Speaker 15: you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, right.

Yeah, it's not a given that Atlanta's 1822 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 15: a semi final site every year or something like that. 1823 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,519 Speaker 15: You know, it easily could be whatever Arizona and Miami 1824 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,080 Speaker 15: and New Orleans and it's not just you know, hopping 1825 01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 15: your car and yeah it's a seven hour drive, but 1826 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 15: still you go there.

And I found 1829 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,960 Speaker 15: it so so fitting from Kurt Signetti as he's given 1830 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:03,840 Speaker 15: us typical signals Eddie break down the game. Postgame, he 1831 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 15: then breaks stride and heyetterers that phrase it can be done. 1832 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:15,479 Speaker 15: And to me, that's full circle from him on the 1833 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:19,760 Speaker 15: mic inside of Assembly Hall. We're not taking a back 1834 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 15: seat to anybody. Produce sucks, Michigan sucks, Ohio State sucks. 1835 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,200 Speaker 15: It's him on the set with Dave Revson of the 1836 01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 15: Big Ten Championship game saying, yeah, I might as well, 1837 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 15: you know, decide to drive up here because we're gonna 1838 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,400 Speaker 15: be playing in this game next year. You know, as 1839 01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 15: great of an x's and O's coach as he is, 1840 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 15: as great of a player developer as he and his 1841 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,879 Speaker 15: staff have ben, particularly a quarterback developer, it's the mindset, 1842 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,519 Speaker 15: like he walked into that program. And I know Mark 1843 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:50,320 Speaker 15: laughs every time I bring this up when I try 1844 01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,640 Speaker 15: to tell him that he was Hitch, that he was 1845 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 15: Will Smith from Hitch, and he was like, I've never 1846 01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,639 Speaker 15: seen that movie. So it didn't really rain too much 1847 01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:01,920 Speaker 15: when we had Signetti on last August. But he has 1848 01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 15: brought a cultural shift that was needed more than anything, 1849 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:07,120 Speaker 15: and we laughed. 1850 01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:08,479 Speaker 3: I laughed at it. 1851 01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:11,960 Speaker 15: I couldn't believe what he was saying, but his mouth 1852 01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 15: to those actions, and it was needed. Like to me, 1853 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 15: a coach of Signetti's acumen, X's and O's and developer, 1854 01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 15: I don't think they're able to get this done. I 1855 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,759 Speaker 15: think it took a mindset shift. It took him walking 1856 01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:31,000 Speaker 15: into that athletic department saying, what in the world's going 1857 01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,680 Speaker 15: on here?

I mean I 1910 01:28:58,320 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 15: heard some picks in this studio and now a lot 1911 01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:00,880 Speaker 15: of people with think in Miami is going to make 1912 01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,000 Speaker 15: that a game? So no, I did not truly they 1913 01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,679 Speaker 15: they made that a game. And that defensive line, Jeff 1914 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,680 Speaker 15: you said it earlier. Boy would ruben Bain or he 1915 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:11,479 Speaker 15: mesidor look good and blue and white. 1916 01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:14,639 Speaker 3: And maybe gone before we get an opportunity to check 1917 01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:14,920 Speaker 3: that out. 1918 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:16,560 Speaker 15: And knows that a couple of those moments where I'm like, 1919 01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:18,800 Speaker 15: oh boy, all security, you know I was, I was 1920 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 15: saying to Miami Era, I was saying to Miami. I 1921 01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:22,439 Speaker 15: was saying to Maddie, I go, I think the only 1922 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,320 Speaker 15: way Miami truly wins this game is if one of 1923 01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,559 Speaker 15: those dudes goes Will Anderson Junior or daneil Hunter. 1924 01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 3: And they almost did. 1925 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:33,160 Speaker 15: I mean, like force a strip in that moment and 1926 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,679 Speaker 15: it ended up. I mean, Indiana needed a block punt 1927 01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,479 Speaker 15: to win the National Championship. Like that's a reality of 1928 01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,400 Speaker 15: where that game was at. I mean, that's how dire 1929 01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,200 Speaker 15: was for them. And I'm a firm believer. If they 1930 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:44,960 Speaker 15: don't get that block punt, I think I think Miami 1931 01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 15: wins a game. 1932 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 3: You know, we're the fourth and five or a couple 1933 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:48,680 Speaker 3: of other players. Yeah, you're right. 1934 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,760 Speaker 13: I thought this game was not going to be all 1935 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 13: that close because I figured you wouldn't allow the big play, 1936 01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:57,280 Speaker 13: and they did so when he you know, when Fletcher 1937 01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 13: breaks that long run. 1938 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,519 Speaker 3: It's like it was to flooding for him. But yea yeah, 1939 01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:04,759 Speaker 3: and so again Tony had the big play late exactly. 1940 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:05,679 Speaker 3: Those are the plays. 1941 01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,599 Speaker 13: But again I can't take credit away from Miami because 1942 01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,800 Speaker 13: they have great talent, great athletes. And now Tony I 1943 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:13,439 Speaker 13: was thinking, boy, he's going to be a problem for 1944 01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 13: years to come. He's a freshman, supposed to be a 1945 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,519 Speaker 13: senior in high school. He's doing that on a national 1946 01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 13: championship stage. 1947 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,240 Speaker 15: And from a local standpoint, shout out to Omar Cooper junior. 1948 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:23,760 Speaker 15: You know the third and four where they bring him 1949 01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,880 Speaker 15: in motion and he makes that play.

And I think that's the 2040 01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:23,000 Speaker 15: astonishing element to me. It's like, you know, be on 2041 01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,800 Speaker 15: your knees to pray that PJ. Fleck would come to 2042 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 15: your program and ignite things, and instead it's wait a minute, 2043 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 15: you beat Ohiouse State in your own backyard for the 2044 01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 15: Big Ten championship game. 2045 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:34,000 Speaker 3: Wait a minute. 2046 01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:36,400 Speaker 15: Your first Bowl win since nineteen ninety one is going 2047 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 15: to be in the Rose Bowl and you're gonna beat 2048 01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:43,320 Speaker 15: Alabama out of the SEC by thirty five US thirty 2049 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:47,400 Speaker 15: two points, and then you're gonna dismantle Oregon again. And 2050 01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 15: then you're gonna the National Championship Game and you're not 2051 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:51,880 Speaker 15: gonna have your best stuff. You're gonna have to win 2052 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:53,960 Speaker 15: left handed.

He's gonna get hit. 2054 01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:59,960 Speaker 15: The officiating's not gonna go your way. Your future NFL 2055 01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:02,320 Speaker 15: left tackle is going to have a massive fall start 2056 01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 15: penalty when the game's on the line. You're sure handed 2057 01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:08,400 Speaker 15: Top white Out is going to have his first dropping eons. 2058 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:11,479 Speaker 15: Yet you find a way. They found a way with 2059 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,599 Speaker 15: a tight end on a full back dive a block 2060 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,680 Speaker 15: punt when your defense was out on the field and 2061 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 15: they only rushed three with Charlie Becker, who didn't even 2062 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 15: catch a ball for you know, the first half of 2063 01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:26,120 Speaker 15: the season. Seemingly, that's how you're going to get it 2064 01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:29,599 Speaker 15: done on the biggest stage. Jamari Sharp wouldn't have been 2065 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:30,559 Speaker 15: at the top. 2066 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:32,639 Speaker 3: Of the list either.

And I thought, honestly, Kevin, you 2159 01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:24,439 Speaker 13: pointed out earlier in the show when Sig called that 2160 01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:26,439 Speaker 13: time out, I was thinking, this is some horrible clock 2161 01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:27,800 Speaker 13: management here, like what are you doing? 2162 01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:31,160 Speaker 3: But in his mind to him, that was the game. 2163 01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:33,679 Speaker 13: It was we're not getting the ball back, so let's 2164 01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:35,080 Speaker 13: just go ahead and make sure we get the right 2165 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:37,960 Speaker 13: play call in here. So obviously it works out, so 2166 01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,280 Speaker 13: no one's gonna complain about it. But boy, I was thinking, man, 2167 01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,080 Speaker 13: you have coached your butt off to this point, and 2168 01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:46,040 Speaker 13: I thought he might have. And it's still then you know, 2169 01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:47,640 Speaker 13: Mammy had a chance. I I was thinking, man, you 2170 01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:50,160 Speaker 13: might have left the door open a little bit too soon, 2171 01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:52,800 Speaker 13: but hey, it doesn't matter now you're a champ, and 2172 01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:53,280 Speaker 13: if you're. 2173 01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:56,160 Speaker 15: The Raiders brass And for those of not following that story, 2174 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,320 Speaker 15: the Las Vegas Raiders in Miami yesterday, to a interviewed 2175 01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,760 Speaker 15: Mike McDaniel, it'll be watch for Nando Mendoza, the I 2176 01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:05,240 Speaker 15: guess expected number one overall pick for them. So there 2177 01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,320 Speaker 15: is Tom Brady, there's Mark Davis on the sideline. For 2178 01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,439 Speaker 15: those that have not followed the Fernando Mendoza story, he's 2179 01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:12,840 Speaker 15: made it very clear his football idol is Tom Brady. 2180 01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:14,920 Speaker 15: And you know, I asked you guys at different points, 2181 01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 15: so at the last ten days, how do you think 2182 01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:20,240 Speaker 15: for Nando Mendoza will play, you know, I mean that there. 2183 01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,880 Speaker 3: Was a lot I mean the Miami angle for him. 2184 01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:23,640 Speaker 3: You know. 2185 01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:26,880 Speaker 15: Did you hear Mendoza crack a little bit for him postgame, 2186 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,360 Speaker 15: mentioning them not taking him as a walk on. 2187 01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:29,680 Speaker 17: Yeah? 2188 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,880 Speaker 15: Yeah, Like I think there was a lot on his 2189 01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,640 Speaker 15: shoulders more than just playing for a national title. And 2190 01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,320 Speaker 15: not that mendo I didn't think he was like wildly inaccurate, 2191 01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:40,280 Speaker 15: but it was obviously a tough game from a passing standpoint. 2192 01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:43,679 Speaker 15: But you hear him describe that, you know, bleep's hitting 2193 01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:46,840 Speaker 15: the fan, play clocks winding down, are you going to 2194 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:48,920 Speaker 15: make a play? And that play needed to be more 2195 01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,160 Speaker 15: backyard and shout out to Pat Coogan to help a 2196 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:54,080 Speaker 15: block on Justin Scott to pay that early way. But 2197 01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 15: then Mendoza just takes a freaking hit on a night 2198 01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,160 Speaker 15: where he had been hit the most all season, and 2199 01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,760 Speaker 15: then he treats at the goal line like they're down 2200 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,240 Speaker 15: four and it's fourth in goal and there's twelve seconds 2201 01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 15: on the clock. He didn't need to do I was like, 2202 01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:08,200 Speaker 15: did he fumble? I got a little nervous there when 2203 01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:09,760 Speaker 15: the hit happened at the goal line. 2204 01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:11,720 Speaker 3: When you walking back to the sideline. I was like, 2205 01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:12,519 Speaker 3: is he okay? 2206 01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:13,080 Speaker 8: Right? 2207 01:41:13,320 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 3: Is he gonna get up from this? 2208 01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:15,920 Speaker 13: I don't know if there was like and maybe I'm 2209 01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:18,400 Speaker 13: just misremembering things, but I believe there's a moment on 2210 01:41:18,439 --> 01:41:20,080 Speaker 13: the sideline where he's walking any kind. 2211 01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:22,040 Speaker 3: Of like little dizzy yeah, And I was like, are 2212 01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:23,640 Speaker 3: you good?

But as he said, he's going to time 2214 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:25,960 Speaker 3: that field. 2215 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,559 Speaker 15: I'm glad he's alive, Like he has that in him, 2216 01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:30,920 Speaker 15: and I don't I'll be the first one to admit 2217 01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:34,400 Speaker 15: I probably don't give him enough credit for that because 2218 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:39,479 Speaker 15: he doesn't wear it in the you know, postgame press conference. 2219 01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,679 Speaker 3: He's not this rugged, tough you know, No, it's these. 2220 01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:46,920 Speaker 15: Eloquent words and it's a can't say this totally, you know, 2221 01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,840 Speaker 15: in tune with his feelings and not afraid to share his. 2222 01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,719 Speaker 3: Emotions and all of that. But when that chin strap 2223 01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:56,120 Speaker 3: gets strapped up, that dude's got some dog in him. 2224 01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:56,720 Speaker 3: Oh I add this. 2225 01:41:57,120 --> 01:42:00,360 Speaker 13: I think he's very self aware and a way that 2226 01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,960 Speaker 13: most college athletes and young people just aren't. Because listening 2227 01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:06,479 Speaker 13: to him in his postgame press conference, he was talking 2228 01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:10,519 Speaker 13: about how he dropped the f bomb a live on 2229 01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:12,880 Speaker 13: Nashoal Television and he was like, well, yeah, you know, 2230 01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,240 Speaker 13: you hear people talk about you and I'm very media trained, 2231 01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:20,320 Speaker 13: and he was like, I let the quote floodgates kind 2232 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:22,800 Speaker 13: of open a little bit, so there is something there 2233 01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,320 Speaker 13: and I think that sort of run and really the 2234 01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:27,479 Speaker 13: moments he's had this year, I mean to keep in mind, 2235 01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:29,519 Speaker 13: he got popped very early in that game and was 2236 01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:31,599 Speaker 13: probably bleeding the rest of the game from his mouth. 2237 01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:36,599 Speaker 13: Those moments, I think make everyone else around you stand 2238 01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:39,000 Speaker 13: up a little bit straighter, get a little more conviction 2239 01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:41,040 Speaker 13: of what you're able to do. And I think that's 2240 01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:44,720 Speaker 13: always exactly and I think that'll also carry over to 2241 01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:48,080 Speaker 13: the NFL. Now, I don't want to look too far ahead. 2242 01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,439 Speaker 13: You want to enjoy this moment. But when he stepped 2243 01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:52,960 Speaker 13: into an NFL locker room, I think that sort of 2244 01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 13: display that you had in college granted Jeffs to do 2245 01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,439 Speaker 13: it again in the NFL. I think that already gives 2246 01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:00,920 Speaker 13: you some good currency to stand on at the next level. 2247 01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:05,080 Speaker 8: In the fourth quarter, Indiana converts twice on fourth down. 2248 01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:07,880 Speaker 8: That had one conversion of the fourth quarter entering the game. 2249 01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:11,800 Speaker 8: Mendoza's twelve yard touchdown run, his first TD on fourth 2250 01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,439 Speaker 8: down all season long. He was pressured only once on 2251 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:17,560 Speaker 8: eight dropbacks in the fourth quarter. He was two for 2252 01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,759 Speaker 8: two on back shoulder fades in the fourth quarter. Indiana 2253 01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 8: also chipped in on special teams, obviously with the block 2254 01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,000 Speaker 8: punt and the touchdown, but he played his best football 2255 01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:27,200 Speaker 8: when the game was on the line. 2256 01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:30,519 Speaker 15: To your point, Charlie b from Tennessee, you know, you 2257 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:33,559 Speaker 15: think back, both those plays was a fourth and four 2258 01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:36,200 Speaker 15: maybe the first one, third and seven the other one. 2259 01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:40,640 Speaker 15: Those were plays strictly for Charlie Becker. Those were not 2260 01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 15: these like slow developing Hey, let's get through our progression 2261 01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:46,439 Speaker 15: and it's the third of the fourth read No, no, no, 2262 01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:51,560 Speaker 15: Those were back shoulder balls, highly contested situations where you 2263 01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,040 Speaker 15: had to rely on Charlie Becker, and that Charlie Becker story. 2264 01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,320 Speaker 15: Shout out to Tom Allen and that coaching staff. That's 2265 01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 15: a Tom Allen recruit. That's a guy with a heavy 2266 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,840 Speaker 15: track that you know. Again, the Serrat injury throughout this 2267 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:05,280 Speaker 15: season I think has opened the door to him. Now 2268 01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:07,040 Speaker 15: you know him and front Ana Mendoz I think their 2269 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:10,519 Speaker 15: friendship for those unfamiliar they live with each other. You 2270 01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,040 Speaker 15: know that you know probably has a little bit at 2271 01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,799 Speaker 15: play here, But man, those plays, you know, Indiana converted 2272 01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:18,840 Speaker 15: I believe in the fourth quarter it was a fourth 2273 01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:20,960 Speaker 15: and five, a fourth and four, third and seven, and 2274 01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,799 Speaker 15: a third and four. I mean, if you want analytic 2275 01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:27,400 Speaker 15: that up. Those are all coin flips against that defense, 2276 01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:29,880 Speaker 15: against that d line, and they converted all four of them. 2277 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:31,840 Speaker 15: They don't convert, they convert three of them. 2278 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,479 Speaker 3: It's tough. We're probably talking about a different result. 2279 01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,040 Speaker 15: It's just it's amazing how when the game was on 2280 01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 15: the line on a night when they didn't have their 2281 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 15: ninety eight mile power fastball, they still found a way. 2282 01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:46,800 Speaker 8: Like many folks getting a lot of texts from people 2283 01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:50,120 Speaker 8: like Greg and Avon who said, got tickets twenty five 2284 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,599 Speaker 8: minutes from game time, second row corner of the IU 2285 01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,000 Speaker 8: end zone right there for all the action from the 2286 01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:58,240 Speaker 8: Mendoza quarterback sneak to the field goal. 2287 01:44:58,400 --> 01:44:58,679 Speaker 3: Doink. 2288 01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,000 Speaker 8: Great investment in our hoo's, your memories, and maybe at 2289 01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 8: the beginning of the game that Doink field goal was 2290 01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:05,680 Speaker 8: a harbinger of things to come. 2291 01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:09,240 Speaker 3: James, Yeah, I ain't gonna lie boy, wait, wait, can 2292 01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,240 Speaker 3: I hear more about this? Dude getting tickets twenty five 2293 01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 3: minutes before kickoff. 2294 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,040 Speaker 8: He's got a picture of him and his wife sitting 2295 01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:16,200 Speaker 8: in those chairs twenty five minutes from game time. 2296 01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:18,360 Speaker 3: I want to know, like, got a purchase or is 2297 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:21,240 Speaker 3: someone sick? How to bow out here? You can't bow 2298 01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:23,160 Speaker 3: out of that, right, there's no way. 2299 01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,160 Speaker 13: I did read about the ticket prices and all of that, 2300 01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:30,800 Speaker 13: and from what the Athletic reported, it was the most 2301 01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:35,040 Speaker 13: expensive ticket on average in the college football playoff era. 2302 01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:38,559 Speaker 13: So from that perspective, I don't know if that guy 2303 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,160 Speaker 13: might have waited tried to wait it out. Sometimes if 2304 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,479 Speaker 13: you wait, it was rot. But nevertheless, anybody who had 2305 01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:47,479 Speaker 13: a chance to experience that moment, that was really cool. 2306 01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:49,599 Speaker 3: And selfishly, Kevin, I thought. 2307 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:52,200 Speaker 13: About some of your students and how cool it is 2308 01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:54,680 Speaker 13: that they had that opportunity.

My parents never faced on. 2345 01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:25,439 Speaker 13: Me very rarely, so I think they get peace of mind, 2346 01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:28,120 Speaker 13: especially being in college, that they just knew like, well, 2347 01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 13: if we don't see it, we can't worry about it. 2348 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:31,760 Speaker 3: Just text me and call me once a day, let 2349 01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:33,559 Speaker 3: me know things are okay.

Odds makers already 2352 01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,760 Speaker 8: have IU as one of the leading contenders to win 2353 01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:43,920 Speaker 8: the National championship again next year. 2354 01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:45,400 Speaker 3: How sweet it is. 2355 01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:48,160 Speaker 8: And I thought it was interesting watching Scott Van Pelt 2356 01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:50,760 Speaker 8: and Rhese Davis talk about this after the game last night, 2357 01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:53,920 Speaker 8: where they say, and Indiana's not I get Maybe it 2358 01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:56,240 Speaker 8: was herb Street said Indiana is not going away, doesn't 2359 01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:59,240 Speaker 8: mean they're gonna win for the next five national championships. 2360 01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:00,840 Speaker 8: But they're not going away. 2361 01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:01,880 Speaker 3: They're going to be around. 2362 01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,800 Speaker 8: They're going to be in the conversation and in the 2363 01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:10,519 Speaker 8: mix moving forward. I think it's interesting that that we 2364 01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:12,800 Speaker 8: only lose two games your first two seasons and you 2365 01:48:12,880 --> 01:48:15,440 Speaker 8: go undefeated at sixteen to zero win a national championship. 2366 01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:18,040 Speaker 3: Got a lot of believers in Indiana, now, don't you, Kevin. 2367 01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:22,120 Speaker 15: Josh Hoover era right. For those that have missed it 2368 01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,479 Speaker 15: here early early on this Tuesday morning, reports already out there, 2369 01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:29,080 Speaker 15: and I think this is kind of known, but Alberto 2370 01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:33,559 Speaker 15: Mendoza into the transfer portal. So Josh Hoover, the quarterback 2371 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,760 Speaker 15: from TCU, will be your starter there and we'll find 2372 01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,600 Speaker 15: a new backup.

We'll take run on the table into Big ten. 2411 01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:25,439 Speaker 8: We'll take knocking out Ohio State, telling Oregon twice to 2412 01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:28,600 Speaker 8: get off our front porch, uh, telling Alabama to just 2413 01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:30,760 Speaker 8: take their tail and stick between their legs and go 2414 01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:31,720 Speaker 8: on back home to the. 2415 01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:33,559 Speaker 3: South, all those things. 2416 01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,640 Speaker 8: I'm here for all of it, James Boyd, and to 2417 01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:38,800 Speaker 8: borrow a page from you man, I'm here to be 2418 01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:39,519 Speaker 8: petty about it. 2419 01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:43,360 Speaker 3: For some of those programs too. Yeah, I guess so. 2420 01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:46,000 Speaker 3: I mean I get all the front porch. I haven't 2421 01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:46,720 Speaker 3: used that one in a. 2422 01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,479 Speaker 13: I haven't felt much pettiness over the last few weeks 2423 01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:53,800 Speaker 13: and just enjoyed the ride. And again, this wasn't Cinderella. 2424 01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:56,960 Speaker 13: It feels like that from a historical standpoint, but this 2425 01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:59,800 Speaker 13: team was a juggnar all year, and looking back at 2426 01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:02,120 Speaker 13: his it's crazy to think that Penn State gave them 2427 01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:05,680 Speaker 13: their toughest test. Here they are, you know, having many 2428 01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:09,439 Speaker 13: weeks later, still unefeated, raising a banner soon. I would 2429 01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,880 Speaker 13: think for that championship and just crazy enough. I mean, 2430 01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:18,639 Speaker 13: Banana Mendoza, Kurt Signetty build the statues today if you can. 2431 01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:20,880 Speaker 3: Man, it's so much fun to watch. 2432 01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:24,560 Speaker 8: And I still go back to and I know Alabama 2433 01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:29,120 Speaker 8: is really more probably name brand than they were actually 2434 01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:31,040 Speaker 8: a really good football team this year. They had their 2435 01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,160 Speaker 8: ups and downs. A lot of people Kevin wondering why 2436 01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:35,080 Speaker 8: they were even in the college football playoffs opposed to 2437 01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:36,600 Speaker 8: your Notre Dame team as a matter of fact, if 2438 01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:39,720 Speaker 8: you want to go back there, but they were dispatched. 2439 01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:40,439 Speaker 3: Itsillion. 2440 01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:42,400 Speaker 15: If I went on a twenty minute ran about so 2441 01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:46,040 Speaker 15: I'm here for I'm here for it, James, you bring 2442 01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,120 Speaker 15: up the Penn State game and you know the Omark 2443 01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:51,200 Speaker 15: Cooper junior catch. But if you remember that final drive, 2444 01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,599 Speaker 15: Mendoza got sacked on first down, clock's running, they got 2445 01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:57,920 Speaker 15: to a second I think it was second seventeen, second eighteen, 2446 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,320 Speaker 15: something like that, And that's kind of one of those 2447 01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:04,240 Speaker 15: what if moments in a season, like, okay, the odds 2448 01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:07,240 Speaker 15: of you picking up second and eighteen or what twenty percent, 2449 01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:10,920 Speaker 15: Let's say you don't pick that up, you lose that game. 2450 01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:13,040 Speaker 3: How does that change things? 2451 01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:15,400 Speaker 7: You know? 2452 01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:15,920 Speaker 3: Everything? 2453 01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:18,560 Speaker 15: And like but yet, yeah, you I think it was 2454 01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:21,880 Speaker 15: Cooper if I'm not mistaken, on that initial play there 2455 01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:23,880 Speaker 15: down the scene and then they drive all all the 2456 01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,559 Speaker 15: way down there. Obviously Cooper makes the catch that goes 2457 01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:29,160 Speaker 15: down in history, and like, what did that do for them? 2458 01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:31,040 Speaker 15: Because I think that game was much like that was 2459 01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:34,320 Speaker 15: a mediocre Penn State team obviously record wise, their backup 2460 01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:35,120 Speaker 15: quarterbacks in there. 2461 01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:38,040 Speaker 3: Like at the grand scheme of it, there are bigger wins. 2462 01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:40,439 Speaker 3: But for Indiana, the. 2463 01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:42,519 Speaker 15: Fact that they had to play that type of game 2464 01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:46,040 Speaker 15: in November and November where they rolled all those other teams, 2465 01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:49,560 Speaker 15: I feel like that was a really critical moment and 2466 01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,320 Speaker 15: then just kind of proving something to themselves if you 2467 01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:55,519 Speaker 15: can there. And then obviously you get into whatever similar 2468 01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:59,200 Speaker 15: situation with Ohio State and you make those plays, and boy, 2469 01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:01,479 Speaker 15: the Charlie Becker plays against Ohio State and the Charlie 2470 01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:02,759 Speaker 15: Becker plays last night. 2471 01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:05,479 Speaker 13: Even the one where he almost scored last night, I 2472 01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:10,719 Speaker 13: was thinking, yeah, that's another example of I you playing 2473 01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:14,320 Speaker 13: at a slightly higher level and being more disciplined, because 2474 01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,160 Speaker 13: if you go look at the tape of that play, 2475 01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:19,120 Speaker 13: the defensive back I don't know his name that came 2476 01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:21,799 Speaker 13: up to try to tackle him. Initially gave zero effort 2477 01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,160 Speaker 13: because apparently he might have thought the other guy had him. 2478 01:53:25,200 --> 01:53:26,920 Speaker 13: But I was like, dude, it's a Nation championship and 2479 01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:29,400 Speaker 13: you're not tackling. You're not form tackling. Like that's the 2480 01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:31,519 Speaker 13: type of stuff that it comes back to bite you. 2481 01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:31,760 Speaker 16: Man. 2482 01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:34,280 Speaker 15: You know, there was a moment pregame and this is 2483 01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:36,040 Speaker 15: I think when he first got in the stadium. Kurt 2484 01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:39,120 Speaker 15: Signetti and Mark Christaball both did you know interviews with 2485 01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:42,120 Speaker 15: the sideline reporters like before kickoff. You know this has 2486 01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:45,920 Speaker 15: aired on game day two hours before the game starts, 2487 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:49,760 Speaker 15: and Signetti's answering a question to Holly Row and he's 2488 01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:54,040 Speaker 15: very coach speaking throughout the answer, but then he ends 2489 01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:58,280 Speaker 15: it with two kind of emphatic words or stressing of 2490 01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:01,800 Speaker 15: the words I should say in saying, we have to 2491 01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:03,320 Speaker 15: be consistent. 2492 01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:04,520 Speaker 3: And we have to be disciplined. 2493 01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:08,280 Speaker 15: And what I think back to the block punt, that 2494 01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:12,960 Speaker 15: to me defines consistent and discipline, Like that is a 2495 01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:16,560 Speaker 15: play where so many guys on the defensive side of 2496 01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:20,400 Speaker 15: the football they take that playoff. Oh I'm not I'm 2497 01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:21,880 Speaker 15: only out here if they fake the punt as soon 2498 01:54:21,920 --> 01:54:23,200 Speaker 15: as that ball's hiked and I see the punter is 2499 01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:23,920 Speaker 15: getting ready to punt. 2500 01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:26,120 Speaker 3: I'm not going after that. I just played what the 2501 01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:28,120 Speaker 3: previous three plays. I'm I'm tired. 2502 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:30,120 Speaker 15: I'm not you know, I'm not risking an off side penally, 2503 01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:32,080 Speaker 15: I'm not risking of running into the punter penalty or 2504 01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:32,800 Speaker 15: roughing the kicker. 2505 01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:33,800 Speaker 3: Everyone to call it. 2506 01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:37,560 Speaker 15: And yet in that moment, Mikhl Kamara looks at as 2507 01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:40,200 Speaker 15: a time to pounce, a time to attack, and he 2508 01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:44,000 Speaker 15: I mean, that's your All American defensive end. That's not 2509 01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:45,840 Speaker 15: some walk on. This just happy to be out there 2510 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:48,080 Speaker 15: on special teams and is busting as you know what. 2511 01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:49,960 Speaker 3: And that play. 2512 01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:53,800 Speaker 15: We don't get to Mendoza do in Superman without that play. 2513 01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,400 Speaker 15: And you know that's one that you know should live 2514 01:54:57,440 --> 01:54:59,360 Speaker 15: in law. I understand I won't, but it should be 2515 01:54:59,480 --> 01:54:59,880 Speaker 15: right up there. 2516 01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:01,920 Speaker 8: You know, any close game, it always comes down to 2517 01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:03,960 Speaker 8: who made more plays, and certainly with the game on 2518 01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:06,600 Speaker 8: the line, I'll go back to something that I pointed 2519 01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:10,600 Speaker 8: out a little while ago. In the fourth quarter, Indiana 2520 01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:15,400 Speaker 8: twice converts fourth downs. Mendoza gets the twelve yard rushing touchdown. 2521 01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:15,960 Speaker 3: That was one of them. 2522 01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:18,720 Speaker 8: That's his first touchdown on a fourth down all season long, 2523 01:55:19,480 --> 01:55:21,840 Speaker 8: he only had one. He was only pressured once James 2524 01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:24,360 Speaker 8: on eight dropbacks in the fourth quarter, and he was 2525 01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:27,240 Speaker 8: two for two on those back shoulder fades. And then 2526 01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:31,120 Speaker 8: we talk about the blocked punt as well. They made 2527 01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:34,760 Speaker 8: the big plays at the big times in that fourth 2528 01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:35,640 Speaker 8: quarter constantly. 2529 01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:41,320 Speaker 13: Yeah, better team overall, tougher team, mentally tougher, and I 2530 01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:42,960 Speaker 13: think the mental side is what got him over the 2531 01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:45,200 Speaker 13: edge as well. We talk about all the things that 2532 01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:47,120 Speaker 13: you do to prepare yourself with that moment. 2533 01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:48,440 Speaker 3: I mean that's. 2534 01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:51,160 Speaker 13: Probably every single weight room session you don't want to 2535 01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:53,400 Speaker 13: be bothered with, or the extra film you watch. And 2536 01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:55,680 Speaker 13: then what I loved about it is when you just 2537 01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:59,320 Speaker 13: had to have a championship moment. Fernanda Mendoza gave you 2538 01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:01,480 Speaker 13: one there to to give you that that cushion late, 2539 01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:06,280 Speaker 13: So I don't think anybody can really be too upset 2540 01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:10,040 Speaker 13: about that. I thought about this as well, Kevin losing 2541 01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:13,880 Speaker 13: Stephen daily and knowing how much he would have probably 2542 01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:16,840 Speaker 13: wish to have been out there or really would have 2543 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:19,760 Speaker 13: been feeling guilty had they not pulled this off. 2544 01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:20,960 Speaker 3: I thought about him last night. 2545 01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:22,640 Speaker 13: I was thinking, man, I wish you would have been 2546 01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:25,120 Speaker 13: a part of that being out there, but seeing his 2547 01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:28,160 Speaker 13: other guy step up, that had be a good feeling knowing, Okay, yeah, 2548 01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:29,520 Speaker 13: I'll be able to get healthy, but I get and 2549 01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:30,840 Speaker 13: I get a national championship as well. 2550 01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:33,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a good point. I mean, 2551 01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:34,600 Speaker 15: I think you missed it a little bit of Daily 2552 01:56:34,720 --> 01:56:36,280 Speaker 15: last night. You know, I thought that was probably the 2553 01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:38,680 Speaker 15: one aspect did that to Indiana that they didn't do 2554 01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:41,120 Speaker 15: a good enough job on was the lack of a 2555 01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:43,480 Speaker 15: pass rush, you know, even that final play. I mean, 2556 01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:46,120 Speaker 15: you know, I don't put that necessarily on the pass rush. 2557 01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:48,720 Speaker 15: I just think Carson Beck made a really poor decision 2558 01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:52,480 Speaker 15: and a poor throw there in that moment. But yeah, 2559 01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:55,200 Speaker 15: you know, overcome that that Daily injury as well. 2560 01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:58,040 Speaker 8: All right, two ten seventy is then I'm gonna call 2561 01:56:58,040 --> 01:56:59,360 Speaker 8: you want to get in on the text line. 2562 01:56:59,520 --> 01:57:00,400 Speaker 3: We'll take a quick. 2563 01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:02,560 Speaker 8: Break here, we'll wrap it all up for our show. 2564 01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:04,520 Speaker 8: They'll be talking about it all day long on the 2565 01:57:04,720 --> 01:57:06,600 Speaker 8: ESPN Radio.

I give Miami a lot of credit. 2577 01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:38,680 Speaker 12: They played really hard. 2578 01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:40,480 Speaker 3: We couldn't get anything. 2579 01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:43,560 Speaker 12: Done on all, couldn't protect the quarterback at all. They 2580 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,960 Speaker 12: had few plays in adjustments, but they were backsellars in 2581 01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:49,160 Speaker 12: a supernot at the ball in the run game. 2582 01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:50,680 Speaker 3: Going maybe intercept. 2583 01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:54,400 Speaker 12: So when we had too a couple fourth found you 2584 01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:56,640 Speaker 12: where we went for it and that was a great runner. 2585 01:57:58,000 --> 01:57:59,720 Speaker 3: Took some chances found the way. 2586 01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:03,440 Speaker 12: Let me tell you we won the national championship at 2587 01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:04,880 Speaker 12: Indiana University. 2588 01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:06,800 Speaker 3: It can't be done. 2589 01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:24,040 Speaker 8: Not Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana 2590 01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:27,400 Speaker 8: in the Big Ten who rips off their third straight 2591 01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:31,880 Speaker 8: national championship SEC Michigan a couple of years ago, Ohio 2592 01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:35,760 Speaker 8: State last year, Indiana currently And I don't drink a 2593 01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:36,360 Speaker 8: lot fellows. 2594 01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:39,400 Speaker 3: As you know, I am going to have some hoo's 2595 01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:41,960 Speaker 3: your beer from Upland Brewery tonight.

A lot of people checking in with that this morning. Yeah, 2608 01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:15,880 Speaker 3: I guess we'll have to see some declarations. 2609 01:59:16,200 --> 01:59:16,320 Speaker 7: Uh. 2610 01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:19,920 Speaker 15: You know, Diangel Ponds is a guy that I think 2611 01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:24,080 Speaker 15: I know measure measurables will hurt him at the next level. 2612 01:59:24,120 --> 01:59:26,400 Speaker 15: I would take that dude on my team every day 2613 01:59:26,640 --> 01:59:30,240 Speaker 15: of the week. That dude is just a football player. Yes, 2614 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:33,440 Speaker 15: I get a lot of Kenny Moore vibes from him. Uh, 2615 01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:34,600 Speaker 15: and he had some big moments. 2616 01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:34,800 Speaker 8: You know. 2617 01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:37,360 Speaker 15: One of the plays I thought was when a Pons 2618 01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:40,919 Speaker 15: just legally hit the Miami tight end down the sideline, 2619 01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:43,400 Speaker 15: jarring what could have been a really big play for 2620 01:59:43,560 --> 01:59:47,320 Speaker 15: Miami loose. It's it's textbook fundamentals, it's it's teach tape 2621 01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:49,680 Speaker 15: stuff from him. On a night where I thought the 2622 01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:52,680 Speaker 15: officiating was questionable, Ponds left no doubt and that he 2623 01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:56,080 Speaker 15: was in line and exactly what he was trying to do. 2624 01:59:56,120 --> 01:59:59,560 Speaker 3: They always plays bigger than his size and rocked. 2625 01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:00,000 Speaker 11: Dude. 2626 02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:02,879 Speaker 3: I'm curious. You know, on that final play, James. 2627 02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:08,320 Speaker 15: The time out by Signetti before, which you know, again 2628 02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:10,120 Speaker 15: could have been I think heavily debated at the time, like, 2629 02:00:10,200 --> 02:00:12,320 Speaker 15: oh my gosh, you're not gonna leave your offensive time out, 2630 02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:14,920 Speaker 15: but he wanted to regroup that defense. I wonder if 2631 02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:17,680 Speaker 15: the conversation in Miami's huddle was about we were not 2632 02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:20,840 Speaker 15: testing Ponds. We're not going to that side of the field. 2633 02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:25,200 Speaker 15: They went opposite side of the field. Poor throw, poor decision. 2634 02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:27,400 Speaker 15: Jamari Sharp makes a great play. I'm curious if that 2635 02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:28,240 Speaker 15: was because I. 2636 02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:31,160 Speaker 3: Think Ponds has earned that. Dante Moore certainly would agree, 2637 02:00:31,200 --> 02:00:32,360 Speaker 3: I think absolutely. 2638 02:00:32,480 --> 02:00:37,640 Speaker 13: I mean, looking at the amount of unsuccessful attempts they 2639 02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:40,080 Speaker 13: had towards Ponds, I wouldn't want to go there either, 2640 02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:43,200 Speaker 13: And it was funny seeing them cut his dad after 2641 02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:45,440 Speaker 13: every big play. And that has to be a great 2642 02:00:45,480 --> 02:00:48,160 Speaker 13: feeling as a parent when and I was a high 2643 02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:51,440 Speaker 13: school sports reporter for a few years, and I'll be 2644 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:52,920 Speaker 13: the first Tilly on these air waves. 2645 02:00:53,360 --> 02:00:54,800 Speaker 3: I love all of you out there. 2646 02:00:54,720 --> 02:00:57,000 Speaker 13: But a lot of parents are a little bit delusional 2647 02:00:57,000 --> 02:00:58,680 Speaker 13: about their kid and how good they are. 2648 02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:00,960 Speaker 3: But it must be a feelings you know your kid 2649 02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:02,520 Speaker 3: is actually as good as. 2650 02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:05,680 Speaker 13: You think because the entire country is seeing it. I mean, 2651 02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:07,760 Speaker 13: his son will play in the NFL one day. And 2652 02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:10,520 Speaker 13: just to clarify for those wondering, because I got this 2653 02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:13,360 Speaker 13: question a lot after the game as well, fellas Charlie 2654 02:01:13,400 --> 02:01:16,800 Speaker 13: Becker cannot declare for the draft. I believe he's only 2655 02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:19,480 Speaker 13: a sophomore, so he's got at least one more year 2656 02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:21,480 Speaker 13: in Bloomington before he goes pro. 2657 02:01:21,640 --> 02:01:23,280 Speaker 3: And he looks like he plays on Somendays too. 2658 02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:25,840 Speaker 23: A lot of people on the text link a serious 2659 02:01:25,960 --> 02:01:29,360 Speaker 23: question a month ago, two months ago, like people ask 2660 02:01:29,400 --> 02:01:32,600 Speaker 23: if Charlie Becker like September, you know, didn't even catch 2661 02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:35,120 Speaker 23: a ball in the first Oregon game, And that being 2662 02:01:35,160 --> 02:01:36,880 Speaker 23: a real question, was. 2663 02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:40,760 Speaker 13: That not one of the biggest blessing in disguise the 2664 02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:43,480 Speaker 13: Elijah to Wat injury, because you don't know that this 2665 02:01:43,640 --> 02:01:44,120 Speaker 13: guy is that. 2666 02:01:45,040 --> 02:01:47,760 Speaker 3: I mean, my goodness, what was he doing in practice? Boy? 2667 02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:51,760 Speaker 3: He every single big play he had to make, he didn't. 2668 02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,120 Speaker 13: I even thought the one I believe it was the 2669 02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:58,480 Speaker 13: second fourth down, the throw Fernando made actually wasn't one 2670 02:01:58,520 --> 02:01:59,080 Speaker 13: of his best. 2671 02:01:59,840 --> 02:02:00,320 Speaker 3: One of them. 2672 02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:02,360 Speaker 13: He threw outside towards the sideline, and I thought that 2673 02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:05,840 Speaker 13: was a better throw. The second one he threw inside 2674 02:02:06,080 --> 02:02:09,280 Speaker 13: and Charlie just went and found the ball. And I 2675 02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:12,560 Speaker 13: think that is the skill that you can't necessarily teach. 2676 02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:15,360 Speaker 13: You can teach technique, but sometimes you got to go 2677 02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:15,760 Speaker 13: get the ball. 2678 02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:16,120 Speaker 3: He did it. 2679 02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:17,920 Speaker 8: A lot of people on the text line this morning 2680 02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:20,680 Speaker 8: that a couple I should say that were saying that 2681 02:02:20,960 --> 02:02:26,080 Speaker 8: that he gives them. Alec Pierce Vibes just speed makes catches. 2682 02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 21: We man, can we go with some more slot wide 2683 02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:34,480 Speaker 21: up every white wide receiver that's ever played, Wingerbrett let's go. 2684 02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to go to all of a sudden. 2685 02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:39,120 Speaker 3: Just's gonna tell season next at McCaffery. Now, I did 2686 02:02:39,240 --> 02:02:39,680 Speaker 3: think about that. 2687 02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:42,920 Speaker 13: I think am I like, you know, stereotyping this dude, 2688 02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:48,200 Speaker 13: But to be fair, the fifty to fifty ball nature 2689 02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:48,960 Speaker 13: of how they both. 2690 02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:50,240 Speaker 3: Play does remind me of each other well. 2691 02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:52,280 Speaker 15: And you know, to take it a step further, what 2692 02:02:52,480 --> 02:02:54,240 Speaker 15: was one of the biggest plays of the Colts season 2693 02:02:54,320 --> 02:02:57,600 Speaker 15: this year? I know the game didn't win, back shoulder 2694 02:02:57,760 --> 02:02:59,000 Speaker 15: Alec Pearce in Seattle. 2695 02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:00,959 Speaker 8: That's I think that's where people get the comparison. 2696 02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:03,080 Speaker 3: When you have the go ball, which they both have 2697 02:03:03,160 --> 02:03:04,200 Speaker 3: shown the ability to do. 2698 02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,160 Speaker 15: Now, the next is, hey, if they're going to sit 2699 02:03:07,240 --> 02:03:08,880 Speaker 15: on that go ball, if they're gonna put a safety 2700 02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:11,560 Speaker 15: over the top, can you make the back shoulder? And really, 2701 02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:14,120 Speaker 15: with how Miami's offensive line was or how their defensive 2702 02:03:14,120 --> 02:03:16,320 Speaker 15: line I should say, was wrecking the game, I don't 2703 02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:18,160 Speaker 15: think the opportunity was there to have Becker, you know, 2704 02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:20,680 Speaker 15: do his go ball. Then it was hey, you got 2705 02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:22,280 Speaker 15: a back shoulder and he's got to make a play. 2706 02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:24,960 Speaker 15: And he certainly did that twice in the fourth quarter. 2707 02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:29,520 Speaker 8: I will think of him almost lind swanlike, and remember 2708 02:03:29,800 --> 02:03:31,760 Speaker 8: I'm trying to remember exactly what it was. He goes 2709 02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:35,360 Speaker 8: for a touchdown over the middle, he goes way up 2710 02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:39,120 Speaker 8: in the air to grab a ball that otherwise might 2711 02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:42,040 Speaker 8: have been contested, and he just made tough catch after 2712 02:03:42,160 --> 02:03:44,880 Speaker 8: tough catch once he finally cracked the lineup and got 2713 02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:48,120 Speaker 8: in there after the injury to Surat And you see 2714 02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:50,120 Speaker 8: him in the interviews afterwards. 2715 02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:51,120 Speaker 3: You see him on social media. 2716 02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:53,840 Speaker 8: He looks young too, like if he's got that baby 2717 02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:55,040 Speaker 8: face going on right now? 2718 02:03:55,160 --> 02:03:56,440 Speaker 3: Right for sure? 2719 02:03:56,720 --> 02:04:01,320 Speaker 21: Mary Julian Edelman asked Very Wes Welker, Very Hunter, renfro 2720 02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:02,440 Speaker 21: Alston Colley. 2721 02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:05,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking of the touchdown reception against Alabama 2722 02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:08,200 Speaker 8: when he goes up high to bring it down right 2723 02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:08,880 Speaker 8: over the middle. 2724 02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:10,480 Speaker 3: He's got great hands. 2725 02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:12,840 Speaker 8: He runs great routes, he's got speed, he's got a 2726 02:04:12,920 --> 02:04:13,800 Speaker 8: great future. 2727 02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:15,720 Speaker 3: In front of him, and he'll be back. Nothing wrong 2728 02:04:15,720 --> 02:04:19,360 Speaker 3: with that, Yeah, Omar Cooper Junior, Carter I thought I 2729 02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:21,440 Speaker 3: saw Carter Smith maybe announced that he was coming back. 2730 02:04:21,480 --> 02:04:23,840 Speaker 15: He was the tackle that boy he almost had the 2731 02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:26,800 Speaker 15: penalty that would remember be a remembered for quite a 2732 02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:29,440 Speaker 15: while in Bloomington. But I thought he said he might 2733 02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:30,840 Speaker 15: come back. And he's probably one of the more highly 2734 02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,840 Speaker 15: ranked NFL draft prospects there. But yeah, for those I 2735 02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:36,160 Speaker 15: missed it this morning, Alberta Mendoza end of the transfer 2736 02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:38,000 Speaker 15: portal for anyone that's followed along. 2737 02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:39,240 Speaker 3: That's not shocking at all. 2738 02:04:39,320 --> 02:04:41,760 Speaker 15: I know, you know, when you pay a quarterback what 2739 02:04:41,960 --> 02:04:44,440 Speaker 15: four million reportedly or whatever it is for the TCU 2740 02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:47,760 Speaker 15: quarterback to come out of TCU to be your starter, 2741 02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:50,680 Speaker 15: Alberta Mendoza is probably gonna portal it up. 2742 02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:52,720 Speaker 3: I thought I saw Georgia Tech rumored for him. 2743 02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:56,880 Speaker 8: Anonymous phone texters just haven't provided the name yet, says, just. 2744 02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:58,000 Speaker 3: Took my kids to school. 2745 02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:01,280 Speaker 8: The sight in sheet James about thirty to forty deep 2746 02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:04,400 Speaker 8: with later rivals.
