I'm scrolling social media 53 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 4: last night having trouble unwind from the game that was 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 4: the NFC Divisional Round game, a Soldier field, and you 55 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: just see this descent upon South Beach and I mean everywhere. 56 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 4: It's everywhere I look on my social media, and your 57 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: part of me is a little bit like that. Well, 58 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 4: if you'd have told me that at some point in 59 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 4: my life, I'd say, wow, a bunch of eye. You 60 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: faithful going to Miami on a cold week? Oh yeah, 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: spring break? Right, Yeah, that makes total sense. And then 62 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 4: if you're like, no, no, no, there's actually a sporting event. 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 4: Theyre actually gonna have a football game, I would have 64 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 4: been like, oh wow, that's a cool non conference game, 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 4: or you know, did conference realignment stretch the Miami Hurricanes? 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 4: And once again I met with no, no, no. This 67 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: is the January nineteenth date. This is the National Championship, 68 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 4: and not only is Indiana football in it, there are 69 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 4: touchdown favorites and run on a dream mark I think 70 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: is very fitting because it does feel like that last word, 71 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 4: the dream aspect is alive and well and tonight's coordination. 72 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 4: I mean, that's how I continue to feel about it 73 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: on this commute in here, on this very very chilly 74 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 4: Monday morning. So absurd, to say the least. 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 6: Absurd in all the great ways. Good morning, James Boyd. 76 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 6: And I know that you've been living here for a 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 6: while now, you've been covering all of our teams. We 78 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 6: say it all the time when you take a look 79 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 6: at how unlikely it was. Yeah, the candy stripes today 80 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 6: with the Jordans, I love it. But I mean, just 81 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 6: think about just the last year of sports that we've 82 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 6: been around here in this area, in this city, in 83 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 6: this state. The improbable run that the Pacers kept making 84 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 6: starting in March and then into April, and then in 85 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 6: the first round of the playoffs, in the second round 86 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 6: of the playoffs, and the conference championship, and we all 87 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 6: know how things went in the NBA Finals and then 88 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 6: the fever one game away from going to the w 89 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 6: NBA Finals, And who would have thought all that was 90 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 6: just to warm up for what Kurt signetti and Indiana 91 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 6: had coming and had in store for us. I mean, 92 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 6: you've covered all these stories. How insane has this been? 93 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 6: Truly insane? 94 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 11: I mean almost as incredible as Kevin's lifestyle. You know, 95 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 11: it's like neck and neck. Oh my god, list yea, 96 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 11: the sports lifestyle, baby. But as far as the game 97 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 11: and the matchup in the journey to it, it's been crazy. 98 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 11: But as I've said all along this year, especially after 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 11: they whooped up on my alna and kept rolling, this 100 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 11: is not Cinderella. I think the overall theme of it 101 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 11: feels like that because you look at the history of Indiana, 102 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 11: the losing his program, and Coosawa history at one point 103 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 11: now being one went away from national championship. Yes, it 104 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 11: has the cinderella esque feel to it, but if you 105 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 11: look at the actual team this year, this isn't last 106 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 11: year when they kind of shocked everybody. This year they've 107 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 11: just dominated everybody, and now you're looking at not only 108 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 11: trying to win a national championship, but if they wanted, 109 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 11: what kind of conversation do you start about how dominant 110 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 11: they were in doing it? 111 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 10: So very exciting stuff. 112 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be a 113 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 6: long day. We'll talk about all the places you can 114 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 6: go and watch it tonight. I already saw last night 115 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 6: video of kind of a PEP rally in Miami. I 116 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 6: don't know if you saw that video, Kevin just read 117 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 6: as far as the I can see in whatever little 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 6: park or whatever they were gathering last night. And I 119 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 6: know they were all there specifically to celebrate Indiana football. 120 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 5: But this fan base goes everywhere. 121 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 6: We've seen that, and they're infiltrating all the videos I've 122 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 6: seen over the weekend, and they're infiltrating Miami in the 123 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 6: same way they infiltrated in Atlanta. 124 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 5: They're ready to go. 125 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, secondary ticket market, I hope you bought your ticket. 126 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 4: I hope you weren't waiting for the Sunda rise on Monday, 127 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 4: waiting for a miracle.

There are a few 152 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 6: things he needs to clean up. But that last drive, 153 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 6: whether it was the run that advances the ball thirty 154 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 6: yards downfield or just the insane video game play that 155 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 6: he makes on the touchdown to Cole Comet. There's a 156 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 6: lot of hope and promise ahead for the Bears.

I can only imagine me 202 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 4: a Titans fan waking up this morning thinking we fired 203 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 4: Mike Rabel for this, just all of it. I think 204 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: there are a lot of interesting storylines, not the obvious ones, 205 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 4: not like the Mahomes and the you know, Hall of 206 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: Fame quarterback galore sort of final four here, But yeah, great, 207 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 4: great weekend starting with me an absolute thriller, and then 208 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 4: of course ended yesterday with this. 209 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 10: Although I saw the fame quarterback. You can call a 210 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 10: Philip Rivers, is you're Denver, call them up? 211 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 6: Is he familiar with the system. 212 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 11: It don't matter who would you rather go. It's a 213 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 11: battle where Philip Rivers or Jared Statham. 214 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 4: Philip Rivers is a cult. He's not allowed to go there. 215 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 10: Release him, cut him. 216 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 4: I just find it that, like the NFL team loses 217 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 4: a home game in that fashion, and yet we treat 218 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 4: it like a Cinderella team losing in the NCAA tournament. 219 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: I mean, like Mark is the most jolly I've ever 220 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: seen an NFL fan after a loss. 221 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 6: That's the difference between having a very young quarterback that's 222 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 6: taking your team to immediate heights and having an older 223 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 6: quarterback and having something where everybody goes if Buffalo, same old. 224 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 6: I mean, look, I'm a big josh Allen Fann. He's 225 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 6: one of my favorite players in the league. 226 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: You'd rather be a Bills fan or a Bears fan 227 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 4: this morning? 228 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 5: I think I think the Bears are more excited. 229 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 12: Yeah, because you're in year one of Ben Johnson, year 230 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 12: two of Caleb Williams, and you came off of season 231 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 12: that I think you won what fifteen games in the 232 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 12: under Matt ebra Flews in three seasons and you won 233 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 12: eleven games, and the. 234 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 4: Old Dan Campbell of you never know when you're. 235 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 5: Going to get back. 236 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 4: I think that's the hardest thing about sports. Like, you know, 237 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 4: do we say that tonight about Indiana? I mean, yes, 238 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: you think that Indiana's gonna be a team that's here 239 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 4: to stay.

So I'm excited to see how 322 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 11: he continues to raise his level of play big moments. 323 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 11: And obviously this will be his last college game, so 324 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 11: he won't squad on high not. 325 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 6: I love this, Kevin. When the weekend started, Indiana was 326 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 6: like a seventy one percent chance to win this game. 327 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 6: According to ESPN Analytics, it's down to sixty eight point 328 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 6: three in the absence of us knowing about anbody who 329 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 6: got hurt or injured. How does it change from Friday 330 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 6: to Monday. 331 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 4: You tell me I'm not familiar with those metrics. 332 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 5: I'm not either. 333 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 6: That's why I say for what it's worth football Yesterday 334 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 6: and all weekend of the NFL playoffs, we had four games. 335 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 6: On Saturday, Denver won a thriller in overtime over Buffalo. 336 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 6: Patriots over the Texans twenty eight to sixteen. Yesterday, that's 337 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 6: the AFC in the NFC. On Saturday, the Seahawks beat 338 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 6: the forty nine Ers forty one to six. Kenneth Walker 339 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 6: had three touchdowns rushing in that one. And then maybe 340 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 6: the best game to watch all weekend, the Rams over 341 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 6: the Bears in overtime twenty to seventeen. Caleb Williams threw 342 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 6: for two hundred and fifty seven yards two touchdowns. He 343 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 6: did have the three interceptions, but he was a human 344 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 6: highlight reel. It just wasn't quite enough James, But man, 345 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 6: does that kid do special things. 346 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 10: Yeah? It was tough. 347 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 11: I felt for Mark and everyone else back home in 348 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 11: the Chicago area. But at the same time, you had 349 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 11: to feel pretty good knowing that number eighteen is your 350 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 11: quarterback moving forward, I would even argue, and I can 351 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 11: feel the older people probably get mad at me, but 352 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 11: he might be the most talented quarterback they've ever had 353 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 11: in Chicago history. 354 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 4: I don't think there's any mite about it. 355 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 10: Okay, I'm just. 356 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 11: Making sure because I didn't watch obviously every single game 357 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 11: bar but I can't think. I mean the caveat there 358 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 11: is the Bears quarterback history is terrible. So if you 359 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 11: got they have a dude finally, because in years past 360 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 11: it was never like this when they were remotely good. 361 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 362 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,119 Speaker 4: Next week, yeah, I feel like they're out of it right. 363 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 6: The AFC and NFC Conference Championship games and the AFC 364 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 6: of course Denver taking on the Patriots. That feels familiar, 365 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 6: doesn't it, Kevin, It don't seen that one before. 366 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 4: At the quarterback is slightly different. 367 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, and it'll be the Seahawks and the Rams in 368 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 6: the other one, and we'll talk about those all week 369 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 6: leading up to those. Meanwhile, in the end over the weekend, 370 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 6: Pacers had a tough loss to Detroit won twenty one 371 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 6: to seventy eight on Saturday night, but they were missing 372 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 6: seven different guys. I think actually tweeted out they could 373 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 6: use you and JMV in that game on Saturday night, 374 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 6: James and nobody playing. 375 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, that felt like. 376 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 11: We know that we probably aren't going to win this 377 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 11: this type of matchup, and we're looking at perhaps a 378 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 11: little bit of those ping pong balls because yeah, they 379 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 11: rested a bunch of guys. 380 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 6: We would expect I think Kevin to see Pascal Sia 381 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 6: can play a little bit later on tonight against Philadelphia. 382 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't believe he's on the injury report, so yeah, 383 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 4: I know Philly, they are maybe doing what the Pacers 384 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 4: did the other night. I saw Joel Embiid Paul George 385 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 4: both questionable with injury management. So yeah, the Pacers will 386 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 4: have a game tonight for what it's worth. I can 387 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 4: only imagine how little that will be viewed. But yes, 388 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 4: Pacers sixers, and that's on our airwaves. 389 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 5: Is that wrecked right here? 390 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 6: On ninety three, five and one to seven, five to 391 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 6: the fan, six thirty airtimes, seven o'clock tip again, math 392 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 6: in day to day with the thumb, McConnell. 393 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 5: Day to day with the elbow, Now mud a WIBC, Yeah, 394 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 5: I use WIBC. That's how that works, all right? 395 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 6: College basketball every weekend, Butler wonted seat in the hall. 396 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 6: That was a nice win for them. Purdue gets a 397 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 6: victory at USC Bradon Smith banged his knee in that game, 398 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 6: had to leave for a while, but came back. We'll 399 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 6: keep an eye on that, but he seems to be okay. 400 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 6: Hoosiers lost by seventeen at home to Iowa. Notre Dame 401 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 6: losing at Virginia Tech.

Also, James Pike High School 405 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 6: lost Marion County championship game to Lawrence North in overtime. 406 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 5: So congratulations to. 407 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 6: Lawrence North and the city tournament starts later on this week. 408 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 5: You gon to catch any of those games you. 409 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 10: Think we'll see? 410 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 5: All right? 411 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 6: Anything else you guys want to throw in before we 412 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 6: move along for the morning. 413 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 7: No. 414 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 4: I thought it was a really good win and much 415 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: needed for Butler. Shout out to Stink Robinson. I know 416 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 4: him getting the point guard duties has been a little 417 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: bit of a rollercoast, but he was outstanding on the 418 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 4: road again. Butler needs more, but that was an important 419 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 4: step there, and yeah, Perdue, that was pretty gutty. We'll 420 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 4: await Braden Smiths status for tomorrow night.

Dan, a chance going for the football team 439 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 6: to put together an undefeated championship season. Much like the 440 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 6: basketball team back in nineteen seventy five and Bob Knight 441 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 6: and that unbelievable run that has never been seventy six, 442 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 6: that's right. If they finished seventy five seventy six and 443 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 6: it's never been equalled. And I know that there's been 444 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 6: a couple of undefeated teams in college football, that's a 445 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 6: little more likely to happen. But can you imagine Indiana 446 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 6: with undefeated championship series in both basketball and now football? 447 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, fifty year anniversary, so yeah, pretty pretty wild.

But you know, Scott 458 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 4: was the manager, a manager, I should say, on the 459 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 4: basketball team under Bob Knight, So you know, try to 460 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: throw that question at him of the similarities that he 461 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: does see if any between Kurt Signetti and Bob Knight. So, James, 462 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 4: I think you brought up last week there was a 463 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 4: story that he started.

I thought that was 483 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: pretty cool. And the guy bought my house from was 484 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 2: a big friend Bob Knight. Actually, if we're able to 485 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: climb that mountain, uh, you know, it'll be a unique coincidence. 486 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 6: Any of us surprised that he liked and lived up 487 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 6: to or liked to live up to and and look 488 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 6: at Bob Knight, I could see that with the just 489 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 6: the way he is. They're very similar in the way 490 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 6: they purport themselves on the sidelines oftentimes. 491 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 11: No, I'm not surprised by it because I don't know 492 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 11: if you all have saw this viral clip Kevin, I 493 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 11: feel like once you get to level kurtzing Net he's 494 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 11: at everyone goes digging up stuff you've done in your past. 495 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 10: And do you remember the JMU. 496 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 11: Clip where I guess they might have made a call 497 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 11: that he disagreed with, so he took someone's phone on 498 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 11: the sideline and tried to show it to the official No. Wow, No, yes, 499 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 11: he went full if you remember those listening, he went 500 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 11: full Patrick Beverley because Patrick Bebie did it with the 501 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 11: Lakers and the Lakers of Celtics game years ago, Lebron 502 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 11: got out of the end of the game. 503 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 10: They didn't call it. 504 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 11: It was a clear foul, and so he took a 505 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 11: team photographer's camera that showed the foul and tried to 506 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 11: show out to the official got fined in all this 507 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 11: stuff tremendous, fucker hilarious. 508 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 4: I like how the reps like, get it out of here. 509 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't think that's, you know, exactly allowed. 510 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 11: Do you imagine, boy, every cell phone on the sideline 511 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 11: there in Denver would have been out for the Buffalo 512 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 11: team at least, so kind of a funny moment I 513 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 11: want to say to happen obviously tonight in a big game. 514 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 11: Probably don't need the penalty yardage, but he could be 515 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 11: fiery as well. 516 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 6: Can you imagine official just going up to somebody who's 517 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 6: sitting in the first show with their camera, going, Hey, 518 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 6: we're gonna do a. 519 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 5: Video review right now. What do you got? Let me 520 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 5: see your angle? Hilarious, let me see your angle right there. 521 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 6: So I like that, and I'm sure that the comparisons 522 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 6: will only grow if they finished this undefeated season. Right now, 523 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 6: this legendary story at this point in time, that Kurt 524 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 6: Signette is spinning, and maybe he turns into a legendary. 525 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 6: I would imagine if they win tonight, he's a legendary 526 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 6: coach anyway, right, regardless of what happens from here on out. 527 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean the fact that you have Indiana 528 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 4: football playing on January nineteenth, I think probably defines a 529 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 4: lot of legendary status. But yes, you know, completing the 530 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 4: story would add to it. And I'm really obviously looking 531 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 4: forward to tonight. But I do think Miami test is 532 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 4: a little different than some of the tests from earlier. 533 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 4: You know, I've said it now for the past week plus. 534 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 4: Miami's crazy now, you know, made the comp like ex 535 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 4: girlfriend crazy. There can be a lot of good to that, 536 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 4: and there can be a lot of bad to that. 537 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: You could make the case probably outside of Indiana, Miami 538 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 4: is the best trio of wins college football scene. 539 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: This year. 540 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 4: The beat ohiouse Sate on a neutral field by double figures. 541 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 4: They want at Texas A and M to start their 542 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: playoff and they beat you know, a quality noted ame 543 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 4: team in the opening game of the season. They also 544 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 4: lost the two on ranked teams. So like, there is 545 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 4: a lot of volatility I think to Miami's operation, and 546 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 4: again I think talent wise, you know, you look at 547 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 4: it and they've got some dudes that individually can take 548 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 4: over games. You know, I look at them offensively and 549 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 4: Malchai Tony and I think Mark Fletcher Junior a really 550 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 4: good running back as well. And then if you get 551 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 4: behind the chains and you set up some obvious passing 552 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 4: situations Rubin Bayne Keeme Mesador. I mean, that's one of 553 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 4: the best, if not the best, you know, defensive end 554 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 4: duo in all of college football. So I just think 555 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 4: that aspect too. You know, we've talked so much about 556 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 4: the story, and rightfully so, but like, there is gonna 557 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 4: be a football game tonight, and does Indiana get tested 558 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 4: for the first time all playoffs or is this going 559 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: to be another just absolute romp and the Mendoz and 560 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 4: parents are sitting there in the crowd waiting for Alberto 561 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 4: to get in the game. 562 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 6: Yeah, we say this all the time, and we certainly 563 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 6: saw it in all four playoff games in the NFL 564 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 6: over the weekend, James. Generally, the teams that win these games, 565 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 6: they take really good care of the football. They don't 566 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 6: put it on the ground and they don't throw it 567 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 6: to the other team. That's something that Indiana has been 568 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 6: spectacular at this year is keeping the football close to it. 569 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, and they've also had just like some weird luck 570 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 11: when it comes to the fumbles and stuff like that, 571 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 11: because I think they've only lost one. 572 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 10: Fumble all year. They've had more than that. 573 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 11: But sometimes can you create your own luck just by 574 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 11: being relentless and being around the ball and not giving 575 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 11: up on plays. I go back to it might have 576 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 11: been the last game against Oregon where I believe Fernando 577 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 11: was scrambling, got popped and all comes out and nearest 578 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 11: Pat Cougan running down the field making sure he jumps 579 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 11: from the ball. So those types of little things help 580 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 11: you mitigate your mistakes. Because it's not a perfect game. 581 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 11: They're gonna make mistakes tonight. But can your mistakes not 582 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 11: be fatal or momentum momentum swinging or huge moments in 583 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 11: the game where you're looking back like boy, kind of 584 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 11: like how I think Josh Allen was in that Bill's 585 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 11: Broncos game where you know game. 586 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 10: Gets tight at the end. 587 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 11: He's probably thinking even this morning, he's thinking, if I 588 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 11: just held onto the ball before the end of the 589 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 11: first half and didn't give them the extra three, maybe 590 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 11: we're winning that game. That's the type of mistakes you 591 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 11: want to avoid. 592 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 6: It for IU you guys may have seen this, and 593 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 6: I'll just throw it out there in case you haven't, 594 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 6: because a lot of people probably have missed this. If 595 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 6: Indiana winnsnight, they'll be sixteen and oh do you know 596 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 6: the last time in college football team went sixteen? 597 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 7: And oh? 598 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: You might know this? Govin, I thot what I I. 599 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 4: Mean, we haven't had a playoff to you know, involve 600 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 4: three games. I would have no idea. 601 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 5: You want to take a shot at it, James, No, 602 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 5: I have no idea. 603 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 4: I mean would have to know you've had like nine 604 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 4: and one national champions back in the day. 605 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 6: Yale in eighteen ninety four. Yeah, I mean I remember 606 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 6: that really never happened in any kind of sense of 607 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 6: true modern football, which is crazy to say too, to 608 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 6: go sixteen and oh, it would be something a lot 609 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 6: of places around town you can go tonight. I think 610 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 6: we've talked about and I haven't even seen if they're 611 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 6: sold out of tickets or not not sold out, but 612 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 6: they were given them away, but you had to register 613 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 6: form Fisher's Event Center as a seventy five hundred seat venue. 614 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 6: Do we know if they have, as anybody who heard, 615 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 6: whether they even. 616 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 4: Have tickets left for that one, I've not seen. 617 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 9: No. 618 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 6: If someone knows for sure, let us know. But I 619 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 6: would imagine any of your favorite neighborhood spots will be 620 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 6: more than happy to let your crowd in around the TVs, 621 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 6: order some food, and hang out with many of your 622 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 6: known or unknown friends tonight. 623 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 5: Kevin, Yeah, I would. 624 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 4: I would venture to guess a lot of local water 625 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 4: and holes be packed, and I've seen the students have 626 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 4: already lined up down there in Bloomington for various establishments 627 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 4: down there. I cannot imagine being out in the cold, 628 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 4: but granted, when you're in college, you have a different 629 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 4: level of blankets that probably anybody else does. So yeah, 630 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 4: I mean the scene from Bloomington tonight will be tremendous. 631 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 4: They've taken the fish I saw to show Walter Fountain 632 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: to bring it back to eighty seven and seventy six, 633 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 4: So that. 634 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 6: Was probably the administration that removed those fish, right, correct. 635 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 4: I don't believe any members of the student body doing 636 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 4: that just yet, but you know, it is something that 637 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 4: we think about it, you know, kind of here in 638 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: our own state. And Kirk Kavin has actually text me, 639 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 4: you know, earlier in a break. I mean, if you 640 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 4: go back and you think about the respective teams and 641 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 4: or schools we cover. We've not had a champion in 642 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 4: quite a while. We've had several get there, but think 643 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 4: about it. I mean, we've gone a bit of a drought. Obviously, 644 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 4: the Pacers in Game seven most recently, of course, obviously 645 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 4: had Purdue in the National Championship game a couple of 646 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 4: years ago. If you want to include Notre Dame, they've 647 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: had a couple of national title appearances in the last 648 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 4: fifteen years. You want to go back to the cold 649 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: Super Bowl, you know, finishing it, slamming the door shut. 650 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 4: That is not something that we have had here. And granted, 651 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 4: I don't think we've had a favorite like this, I 652 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 4: don't you know, maybe the I don't know, Colt Saints, 653 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 4: I don't think was at this level here. But you know, 654 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 4: Indiana is an overwhelming favorite for tonight. Whereas the Pacers, 655 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 4: albeit you know, a great, great run, I don't think 656 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 4: people viewed them in Game seven. Obviously, Notre Dame was 657 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 4: a notable underdog. Purdue was a notable underdog going up 658 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 4: against Yukon a couple of years ago. Whereas right now 659 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 4: we would sit here tomorrow morning and there would be 660 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 4: a level as weird as it sounds about Indiana football, 661 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 4: but there would be a level of disappointment if Indiana 662 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: didn't finish it off tonight, given how big. 663 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 5: Of a f they are. 664 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I know that down down in Bloomington, Simon Scott 665 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 6: Assembly Hall is going to have a huge watch party, 666 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 6: but that those tickets have been spoken for for. 667 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 5: A while now. 668 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 6: So if you don't have one of those already, you're 669 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 6: out of lockt there when you were down there. Have 670 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 6: you ever been to the Buzzkirk Chumley Theater in Bloomington. 671 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually used to live near there. 672 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 6: They're going to open up their theater for a little 673 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 6: bit of a watch party tonight. So maybe if you're 674 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 6: down in Bloomington and get locked out of all the 675 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 6: bars and you don't want to go shoulder to shoulder 676 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 6: with everybody, maybe you can at least get a nice 677 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 6: seat something like that. 678 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 5: But there'll be all kinds of places. 679 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 6: I think the Athenaeum here is going to have a 680 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 6: place to go watch the game tonight as well. 681 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 5: I don't think there's gonna be a shortage. 682 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 6: Of TVs watching Indiana football in our state tonight. 683 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 4: No, and I know Adam reached out on the text line, 684 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 4: so I'll repeat it for those that missed it maybe 685 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five minutes ago. But you know, part of 686 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 4: a National Championship broadcast is that you have ample ways 687 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 4: to consume it. By that I mean this. You know 688 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 4: ESPN for example, I think it's ESPN two. You'll have 689 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 4: Pat McAfee and his crew, you know, doing the on 690 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 4: field analysis of the game. One of the ESPN viewing 691 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 4: options for tonight, again, this is via those ESPN streams. 692 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 4: In ESPN App, they will have Don Fischer's call synced 693 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 4: up to the actual telecast. So I'm willing to bet 694 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 4: there are more than just Adam out there that is 695 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 4: probably interested in viewing that. So down on the ESPN 696 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 4: app you can watch that via one of their alternate 697 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 4: channels here, Chris Valler, Kork Kurbstreet. Of course, on the 698 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 4: main call of that, we'll have Sean McDonough will be 699 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 4: on the national radio call join us here in about 700 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 4: twenty minutes. But you know, a lot of people have 701 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: always asked about, Hey, how do you sync up Mark 702 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 4: Boyle the Pacer games. How do you sync up Matt 703 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 4: Taylor with the Colts games. That is a viewing option 704 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 4: for you tonight via the ESPN app. 705 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 6: Two nine ten seventy is the number for the text line, 706 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 6: or you can call us up on the phones as 707 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 6: well on the text line. Ryles wants to know does 708 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 6: being the. 709 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 5: Favorite scare you, guys, James? 710 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 6: Does it bother you going in as a heavy favorite 711 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 6: everybody expecting Indiana to just roll in this one. 712 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 11: No, because they've been the best team in football all year, 713 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 11: so you're confident that confident in the work and I 714 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 11: think even if. 715 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 10: You are the favorite, they don't approach it like that. 716 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 11: I think Kurt Signetty does a good job of I 717 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 11: won't say it's lying, but it's trying to make them 718 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 11: believe that they're the underdogs. Still they got something to prove, 719 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 11: which to a degree they still do. I mean, you 720 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 11: haven't won it yet, and that's what they've been chasing 721 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 11: all year. So even though if they went out there 722 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 11: tonight and lost, it wouldn't be a disappointment for the 723 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 11: entire season, it'll still be I think it's a woman 724 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 11: for the players because they know, dude, we're better than 725 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 11: these other teams. 726 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 10: We're better than these other dudes. 727 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 11: And we've shown it all year. All we have to 728 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 11: do is go out there and do it one more time. 729 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 11: So I'm excited for it. And honestly, Kevin, I was 730 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 11: thinking to myself, like, who could be the X factor 731 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 11: in a game like this, you know, if it does 732 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 11: get down to the wire, if it's tighter than the 733 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 11: spread says, And even then I trust IU because they 734 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 11: have so many guys that can help you get it down. 735 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 11: I'm looking at their backfield, I'm like, boy, you know, 736 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 11: these are guys that have played very well all year, Roman, Nb, 737 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 11: Kaylon Black, but even Kobe Martin. I mean you look, 738 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 11: go back to the last game against Oregon, he ever 739 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 11: was ten yards of carry, only carried it four times. 740 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 11: But still, I mean that's how they I think they 741 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 11: just whoop you with waves. 742 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think out up. 743 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 4: To the Fisher's product, who's been very good when they've 744 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 4: needed to really just kind of run out the clock 745 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 4: this season. But you know, I think there is a 746 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 4: you know, aspect that sounds very fundamental, but I do 747 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 4: think it's Miami's strengths and you know, for Indiana, you know, tackling, 748 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 4: just staying ahead of the change. I think if you 749 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 4: get in some obvious passing situations. 750 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 14: You know. 751 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 4: I go back to when Taylor Tannembaum joined US last 752 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 4: week and she brought up and I've heard this from 753 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 4: some in the Miami you know side of it, of like, hey, 754 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 4: let's compare common opponents. What happened in any Indiana play 755 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 4: Ohio State? What happened when we played Ohio State. At 756 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 4: the very least, you call it a wash if you 757 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 4: really want to dissect the games. Miami was probably a 758 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 4: little bit more impressive. But again, they have to create 759 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 4: that pass rush I think to truly affect you know, 760 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoz, which again affecting him is a totally different 761 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 4: animal than I think a lot of other quarterbacks. But James, 762 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 4: to your point, Indiana's offset that so well throughout the 763 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 4: season from the ability to stay balanced and the ability 764 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 4: to run it. And it's probably the most nationally underrated 765 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 4: aspect to their football team. I think we're starting nationally. 766 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 4: You are starting to hear more and more people talk 767 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 4: about their defense. Obviously, Mendoz won the Heisman, but their 768 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 4: ability to stay balanced, to stay ahead of the chains, 769 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 4: I think is a true, true, you know weapon for them. 770 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 4: And how does that look tonight. And one other note 771 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 4: we'll throw in there again, Miami's going to be without 772 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 4: one of their starting DB's for the first half tonight. 773 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 4: They are banged up in the secondary. Miami will be 774 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 4: without their starting tight end Elijah Lofton, and there's some 775 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 4: injury questions in the secondary. Indiana really has no injury questions, 776 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 4: you know, exiting the Peach Bowl coming into this game, 777 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 4: so especially in the first half, was Xavier Lucas who 778 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 4: again was out for targeting in that second half of 779 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 4: the Old Miss game. You know, does Mike Shanahan and 780 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 4: company do they dial it up a little bit more 781 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 4: early in the game to try and test the Miami 782 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 4: secondary that has some question marks back there. 783 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think also we know about the Heisman 784 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 6: Trophy Winter Mendoza, we know about the amazing receiving court. 785 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 6: We know about the two headed monster that is the 786 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 6: rushing attack that has been so good for Indiana all year. James, 787 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 6: I still feel like this game ultimately comes down to 788 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 6: the strengths of these teams that probably don't get enough love, 789 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 6: and those are the trenches both sides of the football 790 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 6: offensively and defensively. Hoosiers run the ball over half the time. 791 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 6: Kert Signetty wants to run the football and they've been 792 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 6: good at it, and they have one of the better 793 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 6: rushing attacks in the entire country. They use that to 794 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 6: really set Bernano Mendoza up for success. Miami has a 795 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 6: defensive front that leads all of college football in sacks 796 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 6: and they have often taken over by tackles for losses 797 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 6: and just creating chaos in the backfield there. When you're 798 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 6: watching this game tonight, keep an eye, whether it's offense, defense, whatever, 799 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 6: on the line play because that probably will decide this 800 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 6: football game tonight. 801 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 11: Absolutely, you want to make sure you're keeping an eye 802 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 11: on Ruben Bain and a Key Messador. I think a 803 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 11: Key Mesador has kind of been not underrated, but we 804 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 11: haven't talked about him as much when it comes to 805 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 11: that Miami line, but he leads them with ten and 806 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 11: a half sacks this year and as another game wrecker. 807 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 11: And again, I think the only way Indiana could lose 808 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 11: this game is if they have those game wrecking sort 809 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 11: of mistakes or plays happen to them. So if you 810 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 11: have a miss block assignment, because all Texas won. I mean, 811 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 11: these guys are so good they'll play on Sunday, So 812 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 11: you don't want to take it for granted and think 813 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 11: that you'll get another chance to make up for enough. 814 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 10: If you have, you've missed assignment. 815 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 11: That could be a strip, sack, fumble, and you know 816 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 11: whatever happens next is a touchdown or whatever that can 817 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 11: flip the game. So can you avoid those plays because, 818 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 11: as I've said for the last couple of weeks, if 819 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 11: you make Miami have to methodically beat you, I just 820 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 11: don't think they can. 821 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, and time of possession, guys, that's a big one. 822 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 6: Miami thirty four minutes and six seconds. They average time 823 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 6: of possession all year long. That's fourth in the Indiana 824 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 6: was sixth at thirty three fifteen. Both teams like to 825 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 6: put you in situations where they're controlling the clock. With 826 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 6: that run with long put together drives fourth and sixth 827 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 6: in the country. 828 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 5: In time of possession. 829 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 6: They like to dictate the tempo, So keep an eye 830 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 6: on who's doing that tonight as well. 831 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, and again, Indiana's biggest strength to me is Miami's 832 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 4: biggest weakness, and that's Indiana's discipline. In Miami's lack of discipline. 833 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 5: You know when I. 834 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 4: Say Miami's crazy. That's kind of what I'm pointing to 835 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 4: is that, Yeah, they can have a game where they 836 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 4: have what no penalties against Ohio State, and they can 837 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 4: also have a game where they had ten of them 838 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 4: against Old Miss, So that'll be another aspect to it 839 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 4: as well against seven point fifty approximate kick time tonight there, 840 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 4: and we'll have Sean McDonald join us here in about 841 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,720 Speaker 4: fifteen and Scott Dolson at nine o'clock the IU eighty 842 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 4: joining us here on National Championship Monday. 843 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to talk about taking care of your business, 844 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 6: indianaan Keviny is fourth in the nation for fewest penalties 845 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 6: per game at just three point five, and if you 846 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 6: go just the last three games against the big guys 847 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 6: Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, only three point seven, which tells 848 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 6: me very consistent. That's just who they are, James, They're 849 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 6: going to stay disciplined tonight. That you would just expect 850 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 6: that because of the entire season. 851 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure. 852 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 11: I'm curious though, just how much nerves are factored into 853 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 11: it. It is a national championship, after all, and it's the 854 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 11: biggest game of your life to this point, So how 855 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 11: does that feel how quickly are you able to settle in. 856 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 11: I would imagine there's some extra, a gentle and pumping, 857 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 11: as much as you want to try to act like 858 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 11: there's not, So you know, do we see some you know, 859 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 11: do we see an early time out or something like 860 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 11: that to get everybody to get that second wing going, 861 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 11: because I'm sure there's gonna be a lot going on. 862 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 11: But at the same time, I remember asking Rick Carlisle 863 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 11: there is during the NBA Finals, and I can't remember 864 00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 11: his answer, and honestly, he was so locked in back 865 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 11: then he probably didn't give me much of one. But 866 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 11: I do wonder if there is a bit of relief 867 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 11: when you just finally get to the game because there's 868 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 11: so much build up, so much hype. You're talking about previews, 869 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 11: and you probably did a million media things. I mean, 870 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 11: every time I turn on the TV or scroll through 871 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 11: my phone on social media, kurse and Eddy was giving 872 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 11: another press conference and I'm like, wait, then he just 873 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,439 Speaker 11: talked to us like two hours ago or something like that. 874 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 11: So there's so many sit down interviews and things like that. 875 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 11: So forgot, like Vanana Mendoza, are you just relieved when 876 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 11: you're like, okay, all that's over, and now I'll have 877 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 11: to do is play the game that obviously got me 878 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 11: to the point where I am this big deal. 879 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's one of those crazy things. 880 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 6: The longest time between waiting for your last game and 881 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 6: getting to the next National Championship game is probably Friday 882 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 6: and Saturday Sunday. I guess in this case, Saturday and Sunday. 883 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 6: You wake up this morning, Kevin, Now, it's just game 884 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 6: day routine. You have your breakfast at the same time, 885 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 6: you do your stuff at the same time, you have 886 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 6: a meeting at the same time, you do your last 887 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 6: minute checks at the same time. Game day, I think 888 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 6: is not as bad as any of the other days 889 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 6: for waiting things because you have very specific routine things 890 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 6: you do that lead you up to that game and 891 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 6: kind of get your ready to go for that game. 892 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 6: Last thing on penalties too, Miami was one hundred and 893 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 6: thirteenth in the country and penalties committed this year, but 894 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 6: they've been much better in the postseason in their last 895 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 6: three just four point seven per game, So they've been 896 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 6: disciplined during this postseason run. 897 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a little misleading because the old 898 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 4: misgame they had ten. The'llhow steak and they had zero, right, 899 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 4: So it goes back to your balls. Comedy descends on 900 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 4: the game with it here, you know, and kind of 901 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 4: how I view it, Mark Dyke in your heart this 902 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 4: morning is where full. I'm disappointed. 903 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 12: Obviously, I thought they could have possibly pulled it off. 904 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 12: But for a season that I think they're projected to 905 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 12: win like seven or eight week games, to win eleven, 906 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 12: win the division, beat your art trivals in the wild 907 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 12: card round, and come up just short against the Rams. 908 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 12: I thought they played them pretty well, but a couple 909 00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 12: of things just didn't go to where. Whether it was 910 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 12: the missed fourth down conversions, not going for field goals, 911 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 12: ro Madunze dropping a surefire touchdown at one point, and 912 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 12: then the couple of interceptions. I'm I'm optimistic for the future. 913 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 4: Do you want to go for two? 914 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 13: No? 915 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 12: I thought at that point, just you know, take it 916 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 12: to overtime, see what happens. 917 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 4: I thought you were holding. 918 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 12: I thought you're playing the Rams relatively even I didn't 919 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,879 Speaker 12: think the Rams were the better team at any point. 920 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 12: I was just like, Okay, you're kind of hanging with 921 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 12: them and all that stuff. 922 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 4: So then he got three and out in overtime, yeah. 923 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 12: And then so see what you can do there and stuff. 924 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 12: So optimistic. Caleb was making throws that I've not seen 925 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 12: in my lifetime. Whether I was was with it in 926 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 12: a Bear's uniform or not, he was making some incredible 927 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,760 Speaker 12: plays all season long. So a season full of memories 928 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 12: and hopefully this is just the ground floor and you 929 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 12: hope the defense improves next season and all that stuff. 930 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 12: But you're one of Ben Johnson a wild success, I 931 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 12: would say. 932 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 11: I will say this one of my takeaways from watching 933 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 11: all the divisional round games was thinking to myself when 934 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 11: analyzing the Colts, boy, you need to do that quarterback. 935 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 11: You need a defense, and you don't have either right now. 936 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 11: I don't be all doom and gloom, but boy, that 937 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,919 Speaker 11: was a lot of the responses I actually got during 938 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 11: the game. Whenever I will give a compliment to Caleb Williams, 939 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 11: Mark or Josh Allen or somebody, there's inevitably some Colts 940 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 11: fans telling me, well, I wish we had a guy 941 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 11: like that, and I'm like, man, it is hard to 942 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 11: win without that type of dude. I mean, you'll see 943 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 11: some teams try to do that. Going for think the 944 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 11: Patriots to a degree, Drake May is good. I don't 945 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 11: think that he's on the level of like he'll just 946 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 11: you know, carry you to a victory. 947 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 10: The defense really helped him out. 948 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 11: But boy, I left a lot of those games thinking 949 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 11: to myself as the cult reporter for the athletic and 950 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 11: here on these airwaves, they're not as close as perhaps 951 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 11: I thought they were maybe back in you know, when 952 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 11: they were eight and two, and. 953 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 12: There's a lot of unanswered questions for them as well, 954 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 12: and also just the loot. You see how wide open 955 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 12: it is this year, and it's just like, man, you 956 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 12: guys are eight and two. 957 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 10: Yeah, I've thought about that too. 958 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 11: On the other flow of the one, I've got a 959 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 11: more positive no, like, man, if they have stayed healthy, 960 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 11: would they have been in this type of situation because 961 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 11: it is wide open and probably as wide open. 962 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 10: As it going to be. 963 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 5: What's crazy? Go ahead? 964 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 4: I'll just say Harrison MeVis the kicker there on the 965 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 4: game winner. He was actually one of the kickers the 966 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 4: Colts worked out after Spencer Schrader. So you just kind 967 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,479 Speaker 4: of think about how all of that unfolded.

I 971 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 4: didn't know NBC did that. They were like throwing home 972 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 4: towns there at the bottom of the player's bios there, 973 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 4: so shout out yes to the thicker kicker there on 974 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 4: the game winner. 975 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 6: I was going to point out that you take a 976 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 6: look at all four games this past weekend, I think 977 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 6: it's safe to say we'd think that the two best 978 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 6: quarterbacks going into this weekend, or at least that performed this weekend, 979 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 6: probably Caleb william and Josh Allen and both come up 980 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 6: overtime losers Kevin and so just having that great quarterback 981 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 6: don't always guarantee, oh, that you're going to be advanced. 982 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 10: U I Wan'll take a pass on that. I'm not 983 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 10: rolling with Josh Allen, brother. 984 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 6: You had a lot of turnovers, That's what I mean. 985 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 6: He also kept this team in the game too. At 986 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 6: the same time, if. 987 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 4: You're saying the best quarterbacks like career wise, I mean 988 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford over Kayleb Williams, Yeah, ten times out of ten. 989 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 6: So, but who would you take moving forward at this 990 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 6: point in time. 991 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's all eight right. 992 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 6: But that's all I'm saying that. That's why it gets 993 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 6: back to the original question with Mark though, That's why 994 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,320 Speaker 6: you're not all in the dumps and the gallows because 995 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 6: you've got a guy that looks like he's going to 996 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 6: be a franchise quarterback for a long time. 997 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 4: I understand that, but sports also tells us that when 998 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 4: you have the opportunity, you walk through that door, because 999 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 4: if you don't, I mean, I'm not trying to turn 1000 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 4: this into a Peyton Manning. You know, Super Bowl debate 1001 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 4: here in Indianapolis, But you think Colts fans thought that 1002 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 4: it just be won Super Bowl here? You know, just 1003 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 4: when these chances arise, and you know, look at the 1004 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 4: list of championship performances, championship moments that we've had in 1005 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 4: our state, in our city. Unfortunately a lot of them 1006 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,720 Speaker 4: have been losses in that game. So yeah, you think, 1007 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 4: you hope, you believe, but you Mark would be the 1008 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 4: first to tell you. The Bears also one coin flip 1009 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 4: game after coin flip game after coin flip game after 1010 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 4: coin flip game, seven games decided another two minutes. 1011 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 11: So it's what the NFL's great man because of that, 1012 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 11: because you just. 1013 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 10: Don't know, right, you don't know. 1014 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 4: You don't to steal a Pascal Siakam quote.

One 1075 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 4: of my first orders of business once I regained composure 1076 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 4: after the D'Angelo pons picked six was to find Sean 1077 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,720 Speaker 4: McDonough's call of the d Angelo Pons pick six certainly 1078 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 4: a hell of a way to start the Peach Bowl. 1079 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 4: Let's go here though, for tonight. Are you surprised? I don't 1080 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 4: know how much you pay attention to it. Are you 1081 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 4: surprised at all by the line Indiana favored by seven 1082 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:30,760 Speaker 4: and a half. 1083 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 13: No, not really. I think it's actually come down a 1084 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 13: little bit. I don't pay much attention to it, but 1085 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 13: when I looked a couple of days ago, I think 1086 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,280 Speaker 13: it was up around eight and a half. So maybe 1087 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 13: there's a little late move here toward Miami. I don't 1088 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 13: think so. You know, we were told in our game 1089 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 13: notes heading into the Peach Bowl that if Indiana won, 1090 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 13: it would probably open at about five and a half 1091 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 13: against Miami, and then I just think Indiana was so 1092 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 13: dominant again again Oregon like they were against Alabama, that 1093 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 13: that's what drove it higher. You know, it's hard to 1094 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 13: you know, it's hard to say the number is too 1095 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 13: high when you just see what Indiana's done to Alabama 1096 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 13: and Oregon. 1097 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 11: Sean, when you look at some of the overlap between 1098 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 11: the programs. I'm sure it happens, because I feel like 1099 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 11: in sports is always like seven degrees of separation, so 1100 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 11: to speak. But Alex Miriaball, the Miami offensive line coach, 1101 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 11: having played with Randa Mendoz's dad and Mario christ Ball, 1102 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 11: how much have you learned about just the whole. I 1103 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 11: can't call it a family tree, but maybe a buddy 1104 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 11: tree when it comes to these two teams. 1105 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 13: Yeah, there's so many great storylines like that. I mean, 1106 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,439 Speaker 13: obviously Fernando having this magical year in Indiana, but back 1107 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 13: home in Miami, try to finish it off with the 1108 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 13: national championship, you know, against the school he grew up 1109 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,479 Speaker 13: a half a mile from the University of Miami, thought 1110 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 13: about going there out of high school as a walk on. 1111 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 13: They didn't even want them. That was previous coaching staff. 1112 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 13: You mentioned the connection to Mario, you know, his dad 1113 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 13: played with Mario in high school and with Alex Meyer Ball. 1114 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 13: You know, there's a lot of intertwining. I was surprised 1115 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 13: until I watched the interview that Rhys Davis did with 1116 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 13: the two head coaches that they had never met Crystal 1117 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 13: Ball and Signetti, even though they had a common connection 1118 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:27,359 Speaker 13: obviously both been assistants at Alabama, they didn't overlap there 1119 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 13: and they hadn't met till this weekend. So no matter 1120 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 13: which way this game ends, we're going to be kind 1121 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 13: of pouring through those storylines and the entanglements between. 1122 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 5: The two programs. 1123 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 6: Sean McDonough ESPN joining us here on the payless Lickers hotline. 1124 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 6: We have been following Indiana very closely. All you're here 1125 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:48,720 Speaker 6: in Indianapolis, as. 1126 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 5: You might expect. 1127 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 6: What can you tell us about this Miami team, how 1128 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 6: they've gotten to this point with I know they won 1129 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 6: seven in a row, but they've lost two games on 1130 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,040 Speaker 6: ranked teams this year. Like, who is this team and 1131 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 6: what are their strengths? 1132 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 5: What should we look out for tonight? 1133 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 13: Well, they're really good. You know. We did the opening 1134 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 13: game of the year here, which seems like it was 1135 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 13: five years ago. It was in the end of August, 1136 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 13: August thirty first, when they played Notre Dame, which, as 1137 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 13: you guys know, you know, it turned out to be 1138 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 13: one of the most important games of the regular season 1139 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 13: in college football because that ultimately was the win that 1140 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 13: got Miami in by virtue of the head to head 1141 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 13: victory over Notre Dame, and it's the loss that kept 1142 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 13: Notre Dame out of the College Football playoff. We walked 1143 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 13: away that night, I said to Greg McElroy, I don't 1144 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 13: know if we'll see another team if I don't think 1145 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 13: we will see another team that is as good on 1146 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,399 Speaker 13: both lines as scrimmage, as Miami when you can bind 1147 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,359 Speaker 13: the talent along the offensive and defensive lines. And that's 1148 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 13: the way Mario Christobal has built this program. He was 1149 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 13: an offensive lineman here. He talks all the time about 1150 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 13: physicality and violence and being the more physical team, and 1151 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 13: you know that's really held up in this college football playoff. 1152 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 13: You look at what they did at Texas A and 1153 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 13: m holding them to three points. You know, they really 1154 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:07,479 Speaker 13: physically manhandled I thought Ohio State in their second game 1155 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 13: in this playoff, and then you know they held the 1156 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 13: ball for more than forty one minutes against old myths. 1157 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 13: So a physical team obviously, as you guys know, veteran quarterback, 1158 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 13: sixty year guy and another one of those great storylines. 1159 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 13: You know, kind of had a bad ending at the 1160 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 13: University of Georgia last year, injured this time last year, 1161 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 13: it comes to Miami, kind of gets himself back up 1162 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 13: on the college football national map and scored the winning 1163 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 13: touchdown in the last game. So if they win, you know, 1164 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 13: he's going to be a huge part of the story. 1165 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 13: And you know a lot of talent too, defensive ends 1166 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,879 Speaker 13: who were going to be first line first round pick 1167 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 13: in Mesador and Bain. You know, the freshman wide receiver 1168 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 13: Malachi Tony is as dynamic a playmaker really as there 1169 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 13: is in college football. So plenty of talent, you know. 1170 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 13: I think if they're going to have a chance tonight, 1171 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 13: they just have to avoid the mistakes. And they were 1172 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 13: fortunate to win the last game, and they attend penalties 1173 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 13: when they lost those two games you mentioned, Jeff, you know, 1174 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 13: a lot of turnovers. Carson Victory four interceptions in one 1175 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 13: of the two losses. So you know, if they do that, 1176 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 13: you're not going to beat Indiana because Indiana hasn't a 1177 00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 13: turnover yet in the playoffs, and I think they've had 1178 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 13: six penalties, so Indiana is likely not going to beat itself. 1179 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 4: I think it's his tenth time calling the National Championship 1180 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 4: here on ESPN Radio. The Great Sean McDonald with us 1181 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,879 Speaker 4: on the day of the game, less than twelve hours 1182 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,720 Speaker 4: away at this point from the National Championship in Miami. Sean, 1183 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 4: it seems to be part of the talk of this 1184 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 4: Indiana run. People around college football cannot believe the takeovers 1185 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 4: that occurred at the Rose Bowl and at the Peach Bowl. 1186 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 4: And we'll see what it looks like tonight. Were you 1187 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 4: struck by that particularly maybe after that D'Angel Ponds picked 1188 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 4: six that you called a week ago. 1189 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 13: I was struck by it just walking in. You know, 1190 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,759 Speaker 13: I wasn't at the rose Ball watching it on TV. 1191 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,439 Speaker 13: Obviously hard to tell what the percentage of the fan 1192 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 13: base is was because you know, Alabama had similar colors. 1193 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,279 Speaker 13: But you know, walking in to Mercedes Benz Stadium in 1194 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:12,319 Speaker 13: Atlanta last week or whatever it was, you know, ten 1195 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 13: days ago, it you were just struck by it. I 1196 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 13: remember when we came on the air. I think one 1197 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 13: of the first sentences I said was, you know, standing 1198 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 13: only crowd filing into Mercedes Benz Stadium, most of them 1199 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 13: clad in crimson and cream or cream and crimson, because 1200 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 13: it was I mean, it was cunning really. Uh So 1201 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,919 Speaker 13: it'll be interesting to see tonight, right. I Mean there's 1202 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 13: been so much talk about how hard the tickets are. 1203 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 13: The average ticket price a couple of days ago was 1204 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 13: over forty three hundred dollars a ticket. You know, it's 1205 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,799 Speaker 13: a home game from Miami in their stadium. A lot 1206 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 13: of times at these National Championship games, you know a 1207 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 13: lot of tickets are already doled out ahead of time 1208 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 13: to monsors and that sort of thing. So it'll be 1209 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 13: really interesting to see what the breakdown in the crowd 1210 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 13: is tonight. 1211 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 10: One more from me Sean. 1212 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 11: Obviously, Indiana has plenty of playmakers, but how much of 1213 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 11: a difference maker do you think Charlie Becker has been 1214 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 11: in He's playoff. 1215 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 10: Look at his numbers and it's kind of like a. 1216 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,600 Speaker 11: Video game like fo receptions, but he also has two 1217 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 11: touchdown and he's averaging over twenty three yards or whatever 1218 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 11: it is a catch. 1219 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's really really remarkable. It's a big part of 1220 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 13: their season. You know, his emergence. Obviously got an opportunity 1221 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 13: a mid season because of the injury to Sarrat, and 1222 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 13: he really has taken over and run with it. And 1223 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 13: you know, now that Sarrat's been back for a while, 1224 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 13: you know, just added very talented depth to their wide 1225 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 13: receiver group. You know, he's been a huge playmaker. The 1226 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 13: Bay have playmakers everywhere, as you guys know, better than 1227 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,720 Speaker 13: anybody else, and just a terrific team. You know. It's 1228 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,919 Speaker 13: as I said last week when we did the game 1229 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 13: against the Oregon if there's a weakness, I don't know 1230 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 13: where it is. And I have a feeling tonight I'm 1231 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 13: sitting here because I have too much time and that 1232 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 13: I couldn't sleep. So, you know, Brendan Frankie apparently is 1233 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 13: going to be available to kick tonight. As you guys know, 1234 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 13: he's been out with a groin injury for the last 1235 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 13: seven or eight games. He's twenty four years old, He's 1236 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 13: been at one, two, three, four, five different schools. He's 1237 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 13: attempted three field goals in his career, made one of them. 1238 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,839 Speaker 13: You know, I just have a feeling the way this 1239 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,919 Speaker 13: is going, it's going to come down to him trying 1240 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 13: a long field goal at the end of the game, 1241 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 13: and that would be something else if that's the way 1242 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 13: it happened. 1243 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,040 Speaker 5: Well, it's coming quickly. 1244 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,360 Speaker 6: It's game day and it's gonna be a lot of fun, 1245 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 6: do do you. 1246 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 5: All you got to do is show up.

Frankie was the one that 1276 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 4: made a fifty eight yard or late in the first 1277 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 4: half out in Oregon, which you know, it's kind of 1278 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 4: one of those like, you know, at that point of 1279 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 4: the season, obviously they had treated James Boyd's fighting a 1280 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 4: lion I like they were just pure dirt. 1281 00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 11: Yeah, that was me and Max playing one on one 1282 00:57:58,760 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 11: in late September. 1283 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,160 Speaker 4: But you know, that kick from Frankie was actually a huge, 1284 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 4: huge play in that Oregon game. And he's been dealing 1285 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 4: with an injury.

He's just kind of the 1296 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 4: kickoff guy, the long distance kicker. 1297 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 10: Still though, that's a lot of moving around the country. 1298 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,000 Speaker 4: But again, that's about the only injury Indiana's really worried 1299 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 4: about for tonight. Here Miami a little bit more banged up, 1300 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 4: And you mentioned the Charlie Becker thing, and you know, 1301 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 4: you go back to that Oregon game, the first Oregon game, 1302 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 4: Becker didn't have a single catch of that game. Sarat 1303 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,280 Speaker 4: gets hurt, you know there middle of the season. That 1304 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 4: has kind of opened the door for Charlie Becker. And 1305 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,560 Speaker 4: again I look at tonight, you know, with Miami having 1306 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 4: one of their starting corners out due to targeting for 1307 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 4: the first half, they're a little bit banged up. Outside 1308 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 4: of that in the secondary, does that influence for Nanda 1309 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,600 Speaker 4: Mendoza and Mike Shanahan from a play calling standpoint at all? 1310 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,880 Speaker 4: In the first half, do we see a little bit 1311 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 4: more of a hey, let's take a shot or two. Yes, 1312 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 4: we realized Miami's front four can be menacing, But do 1313 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 4: you feel like there's an advantage personnel wise, particularly early 1314 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 4: in the game tonight, to try and dial that up. 1315 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 4: I think that is a big, big storyline to keep 1316 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 4: an eye on. 1317 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I like when teams do that kind of 1318 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 6: try to put the other team on its back foot 1319 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,439 Speaker 6: and say, hey, we're coming right after you today, there's 1320 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 6: going to be there's not gonna be any of that nine. 1321 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,959 Speaker 4: Which again that's part of it. This is also personnel based. 1322 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 4: You know the fact that there is the targeting issue there. 1323 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 4: You know, does that kind of add to some of it? 1324 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 4: Or is Indiana a little bit more of a Hey, 1325 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 4: let's be methodical, let's establish the run game, and then 1326 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 4: you know, take our shots as the game moves along. 1327 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 6: And it may just be Indiana just says this is 1328 00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 6: what we do. We're just going to come out and 1329 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 6: be ourselves to your to your latter point there. 1330 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 5: But it's gonna be fun to watch. 1331 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 6: And of course it'll kick off about seven fifty tonight. 1332 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 6: Here's something I hadn't thought about. Tom Fernelli, who covers 1333 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 6: college football, tweeted this out over the weekend. If Indiana 1334 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 6: beats Miami tonight, Kevin, it will give the Hoosiers three 1335 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 6: bowl wins in a span of eighteen days. Indiana had 1336 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 6: three bowl wins in school history coming into this postseason. 1337 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:22,760 Speaker 5: How crazy is that? 1338 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 4: I do have a question, Utter lips are right? Was 1339 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,959 Speaker 4: it the Copper Bowl was their last bowl? 1340 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 15: Well? 1341 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 6: Early nineties New Year's Day? 1342 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 4: Is the Copper Bowl still a thing? 1343 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 10: I'm gonna say this sounds like it's fake Copper Bowl? 1344 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 5: Boy, it was in Tucson. I think a. 1345 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 11: Little better material if you win the National Championship, I 1346 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 11: would think. 1347 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:41,120 Speaker 10: But I have a question. 1348 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 11: So you you told us about the ticket breakdown all 1349 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 11: that and how corporate gets some of those. Can you 1350 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,240 Speaker 11: explain what that means? I got that question a lot 1351 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 11: like over the weekend. But what does that mean when 1352 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 11: there's a corporate allotment of tickets? 1353 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 16: Yeah? 1354 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 4: I don't know for sure, but my assumption is the 1355 01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 4: CFP obviously has corporate sponsors. You'll see them throughout the set. 1356 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 4: You'll see them obviously from a commercial base, And I 1357 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 4: think you're allotmant they are the the the third piece 1358 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 4: of the pie twenty five thousand Indiana twenty five thousand 1359 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 4: to Miami. The rest of that I think goes to 1360 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 4: those corporate sponsors of the game itself. Boy, I think 1361 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 4: it's not that entirely different of you know, if the 1362 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 4: Colts were to make the Super Bowl, the Colts bigger 1363 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 4: sponsors would be. 1364 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, that makes sense. 1365 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 4: You know, we are a partner with the Colts. I assume, 1366 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 4: you know, whatever, our station would get a couple of tickets, 1367 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 4: you know, something along those lines for the National Championship. 1368 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't you know. I know the crowd 1369 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 4: situation has been talked about a lot. I would guess 1370 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 4: Indiana would have a little bit more. I think Miami's 1371 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 4: going for the orange out with their crowd. So I 1372 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 4: don't know how Orange and Red will necessarily look on 1373 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 4: TV coming up tonight. But as we mentioned a lead 1374 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 4: off the show, the secondary ticket market has climbed significantly. 1375 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 4: It is north of four thousand dollars as we sit 1376 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 4: here eleven hours and change from kickoff what. 1377 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 6: We say it was about twenty eight twenty nine hundred 1378 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 6: dollars somewhere. 1379 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 4: There, so it has risen a good amount. 1380 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 6: Wow, how much would you be willing to spend if 1381 01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 6: money was no object? 1382 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 5: Would you just go buy a ticket? 1383 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 10: Or is it still everyone would do that? 1384 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 16: I don't know. 1385 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 6: Isn't there a point where there's money was no object? 1386 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 10: Everyone would? 1387 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 7: What? 1388 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 5: Sometimes there's pretty If money. 1389 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 11: Wasn't an object, I wouldn't be here at seven m 1390 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 11: every morning. I mean, I love y'all, but my goodness. 1391 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,920 Speaker 4: Money's no object.

They're asking for 1412 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 12: hard rock? 1413 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 10: Why would you park? But go ahead? 1414 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 4: Well, I guess if you live there, I'm saying like 1415 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 4: six hundred dollars. Well, and again I've said before, I 1416 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 4: haven't been there in a few years, but it is 1417 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 4: a zoo that stadium, and I believe we have the 1418 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 4: President attending tonight's game. I cannot even imagine how crazy 1419 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 4: security getting into that place. Getting out of that place. Boy, 1420 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,960 Speaker 4: I do not I mean obviously envy people that are 1421 01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 4: going to be in that environment, but I do not 1422 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 4: envy the entrance or the exit. Yeah, for tonight's game 1423 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 4: at all. 1424 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 11: They were told to get there even earlier. Now if 1425 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 11: the president is going to be on tap, and I 1426 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,920 Speaker 11: wonder what that means. So if the get game is 1427 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 11: that in about twelve hours, how early are you getting there? 1428 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 4: You remember, like Doug Boles's reaction, I asked my question 1429 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 4: a few months back when it was remembered that Trump, 1430 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 4: you know, could be at the DY five hundred, and 1431 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 4: like hearing Doug Bowles's voice describing, you know what the 1432 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 4: plan looks like for if Trump is there or if 1433 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 4: he's not there? Uh so I do remember there? Yeah, 1434 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 4: so yeah, I can only imagine what that'll be like. 1435 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 11: For I don't know if would have made it to 1436 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 11: my first five hundred if that happened. 1437 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 6: It's hard to get there even when you when you 1438 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 6: get up at four in the morning and go. 1439 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 10: I I definitely was. 1440 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 11: I made the rocky mistake of oh I'll just you know, 1441 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 11: sleep in a little bit. 1442 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 10: It can't be that bad. 1443 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,080 Speaker 11: It was that bad, So I think from here on 1444 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 11: out i'll probably get there for the sun is up. 1445 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 6: All right, we're getting closer and closer. We are exactly 1446 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 6: uh what about uh ten and a half hours away? 1447 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 6: We're getting close.

Indiana goes in with a 1478 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 6: record of fifteen and oh Miami has won seven in 1479 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,959 Speaker 6: a row. They are thirteen and two overall. And again 1480 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 6: I point out in the last two games, Fernanda Mendoza, 1481 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 6: your Heisman Trophy winner thirty one of thirty six for 1482 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 6: three hundred and sixty nine yards, eight touchdowns, no interceptions 1483 01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 6: and just five incompletions. He has been tremendous the computer 1484 01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,760 Speaker 6: models give Indiana a sixty eight point three percent chance 1485 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 6: to win. So not only does Indiana go in as 1486 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,000 Speaker 6: a seven and a half point favorite, but even the 1487 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 6: computers are like go Hoosiers. 1488 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 5: We'll see what happens tonight. 1489 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm excited for I want to know if Fana 1490 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 11: Mendoza has a belt anywhere near him and will he 1491 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 11: take it off?

Denver beat 1497 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 6: Buffalo thirty three to thirty in the AFC. On Saturday. Yesterday, 1498 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,560 Speaker 6: the Patriots over the Texans twenty eight sixteen. 1499 01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,439 Speaker 5: CJ. Stroud did not have a good day. 1500 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 6: The Seahawks beat the forty nine ers yesterday forty one 1501 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,560 Speaker 6: to six, and the last game was maybe the best one. 1502 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 6: The Rams over the Bears twenty to seventeen in overtime. 1503 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 6: Kavid Williams two hundred and fifty seven yards two touchdowns, 1504 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,320 Speaker 6: did have three interceptions, but a play for the ages. Mark, 1505 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,960 Speaker 6: how many times have you watched the touch the tying 1506 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 6: touchdown with less than a minute to go, over and 1507 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 6: over and over last night? 1508 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 12: Probably like sixty times because I got lightheaded when he 1509 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:44,480 Speaker 12: first threw it the first time. 1510 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 4: I screamed. 1511 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 12: I think I scared the children in the neighborhood, cats 1512 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:49,840 Speaker 12: and everything like that, because I couldn't believe that he 1513 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 12: just it was a prayer that was answered by cole Comet, 1514 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,280 Speaker 12: thank you very much. And then yeah, that was an 1515 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 12: insane throw. I like I said, he ran backwards to 1516 01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 12: the forty, threw off his back foot, and somehow still 1517 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 12: made a perfect strike to cole Comet. 1518 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,640 Speaker 4: Mark, I couldn't believe he didn't scramble to the side. 1519 01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 4: It was like he was playing a video game and 1520 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 4: the buttons were broken, like he couldn't go right or left. 1521 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 4: Many times you ever see him just go straight back. 1522 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 12: Not It was like you're playing NFL Blitz and you're 1523 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,400 Speaker 12: just running backwards because you've seen the defenders just line 1524 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 12: up and jump at you, and you're like, oh, let 1525 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 12: me just run back this way. And yeah, he just 1526 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:23,640 Speaker 12: heaved it. 1527 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 4: Forty in the air. I saw the actual like analytic 1528 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 4: on that just, oh my gosh, that. 1529 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,799 Speaker 11: Was a Pacers esque feel to that game, especially considering 1530 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 11: the back to back moments he's had to play off. 1531 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 6: Next week Championship Sunday, it'll be the Denver Broncos taking 1532 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,799 Speaker 6: on the New England Patriots. That one will be in Denver, 1533 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 6: but the Broncos James playing without bow Nicks, got a 1534 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,960 Speaker 6: broken ankle that apparently he suffered on the second to 1535 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 6: last play of overtime and he is out for the 1536 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 6: rest of the postseason. 1537 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 5: So welcome to Jared Stidham. 1538 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 11: Yeah, Jared Sidam is one in three as an NFL starter, 1539 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 11: never started in the playoffs, and it was actually going 1540 01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:04,800 Speaker 11: back to watch it, I think and I actually know 1541 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 11: Sean Payton misspoke was a fourth last place people were like, 1542 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,440 Speaker 11: the second last player was Denil. 1543 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:10,599 Speaker 10: He got hurt on the run. 1544 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,479 Speaker 11: He had a short run that he had right before 1545 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 11: drawing the pass interference down the field to Marvin Mims 1546 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,599 Speaker 11: and that ended up being his season enders. So tough 1547 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,120 Speaker 11: tough break from there, but in a weird, bizarre way. 1548 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,160 Speaker 11: Fun fact for you, the Broncos have made multi trips 1549 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:26,600 Speaker 11: to the Super Bowl. They've never made it with the 1550 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 11: quarterback they drafted. So if you're looking for a silver lining, 1551 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 11: Bonnicks would have been the first had he gotten through. 1552 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 11: So now Jared Sadam ironically was a Patriots draft pick. 1553 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 12: Rooting And I know this is blasphemy in this town, 1554 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 12: but aren't you rooting for the Patriots now? Because do 1555 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 12: you really want to watch Jared Stidham in the Super Bowl. 1556 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,720 Speaker 10: I don't know, No, I can't go that far. 1557 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 4: You shouldn't say that Patriots hatreot is real. 1558 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 11: I think it would actually be hilarious if Jared said 1559 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:53,639 Speaker 11: them actually knock him off. 1560 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 4: He around here, well, and you know, Denver's one play 1561 01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 4: away from one Sammiel Ellinger, who who reports had declined. 1562 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,679 Speaker 4: I mean, here, can you imagine if sam Ellingrad said, 1563 01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,439 Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna go be the Colts quarterback 1564 01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 4: for those final four games, and then now he's a 1565 01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 4: play away from playing in the Super. 1566 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 6: Bowl, the NFC championship game the Seahawks will be hosting 1567 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,640 Speaker 6: the Rams. Man that Seahawks defense is looking Leeds in 1568 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 6: the boom right now, and Kevin they were they were 1569 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,719 Speaker 6: nasty against the forty nine ers the other night. So 1570 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 6: what's happening in the NFL. The Pacers will be playing 1571 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,839 Speaker 6: again tonight in Philadelphia, coming off that big loss to Detroit, 1572 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,400 Speaker 6: but they didn't play anybody had seven, I think seven 1573 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,960 Speaker 6: players missing from that game, and hopefully Pascal Siakamu was 1574 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 6: getting a little bit of a rest. He'll be back tonight. 1575 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,040 Speaker 6: Do we know if Matherin's gonna be back or Nemhart 1576 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 6: gonna be back for tonight? 1577 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,719 Speaker 4: I assume on the Nemhart, I think Mathern's a little 1578 01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 4: different story just because he's missed time with that thumb injury. 1579 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 4: There sounds like Joelle Embiid Paul George both questionable. So 1580 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,720 Speaker 4: we'll see how much the Sixers are playing there, guys. 1581 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,360 Speaker 4: Obviously they've got some others with Tyrese, Maxi, be j Edge, come, 1582 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 4: et cetera. 1583 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:59,879 Speaker 6: All Right, college basketball coming up tomorrow, IU plays at Michigan, 1584 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 6: Due at UCLA, Butler will host a Paul over at 1585 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 6: hinklefield House, and Notre Dame plays at unc U. 1586 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,479 Speaker 5: N C got worked over on the West coast this 1587 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 5: past week. 1588 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,960 Speaker 6: Did you see any of that ACC scores, mister Notre Dame? 1589 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,479 Speaker 4: Uh?

And how what do you 1610 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,240 Speaker 6: think the percentage looks like tonight? 1611 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 5: I think it's split fairly close to fifty to fifty. 1612 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:17,440 Speaker 11: Where are you're at, I'll go sixty forty IU. 1613 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:23,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see sixty seventy even, Yeah, I can 1614 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:24,280 Speaker 4: definitely see it. 1615 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 10: They are at home, so I'll figured it. 1616 01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,799 Speaker 11: Okay, you're going to get the people that maybe wouldn't 1617 01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 11: have traveled who are going to go to the game. 1618 01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 11: But when you're talking about having what the largest living 1619 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 11: alumni base in America, that probably helps you out when 1620 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 11: it comes to having some fans and some butts in 1621 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 11: the seats. 1622 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 6: Last time the national championship game was played there, the 1623 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:47,560 Speaker 6: BCS National Championship in twenty thirteen, they put eighty thousand. 1624 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,959 Speaker 5: Folks in there, so you think at least. 1625 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,679 Speaker 6: Forty thousand to fifty thousand IU fans tonight. 1626 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 4: Oh, I thought it was like a sixty five thousand. 1627 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,439 Speaker 6: Well it says sixty seven, and I don't know why 1628 01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 6: they did how they did it, but it did say 1629 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,080 Speaker 6: that the attendance was eighty thousand back of the twenty 1630 01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 6: thirteen BCS National Championship Game, but supposedly capacity is about 1631 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,639 Speaker 6: sixty five, just under sixty five, So I don't know 1632 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 6: how they got that extra fifteen in there, but that's 1633 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 6: what they list on their site. 1634 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 4: You guys got AYU cruising like they did in the 1635 01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:16,759 Speaker 4: first two games of the playoff. 1636 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 11: I'm gonna say yes, I have picked them to win 1637 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:26,200 Speaker 11: close the last couple of games, and they just laughed 1638 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 11: in my face and bully teams. And I haven't picked 1639 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 11: them to win close because I don't believe in them. 1640 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 11: It's just that at some point I figured, you're gonna 1641 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,120 Speaker 11: come down to earth, You're not gonna play perfect, You're 1642 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:39,040 Speaker 11: gonna have the mistake. 1643 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,519 Speaker 10: But maybe I should just recognize this. 1644 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 11: It's a juggernaut, and juggernauts often do not have closed 1645 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,879 Speaker 11: games or games where they wilt or they make those mistakes. 1646 01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,439 Speaker 11: And I think what convinces me the most, Kevin is 1647 01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:52,400 Speaker 11: that they're a clean team. 1648 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,879 Speaker 10: They play clean football. It's not very volatile. 1649 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 11: So if they don't make a mistake as far as 1650 01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,479 Speaker 11: the turnover or a call offt penalty, it's hard for 1651 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,040 Speaker 11: me not to see them winning by double digits. 1652 01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:05,719 Speaker 10: Winning by double digits, yeah. 1653 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 6: I feel like this is going to be a closer 1654 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 6: game in the first half, and I think Indiana starts 1655 01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,559 Speaker 6: to wear them down as it goes along, and so 1656 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 6: I could see a three six point difference in the 1657 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,759 Speaker 6: first half. But I do think by the fourth quarter, 1658 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,080 Speaker 6: Indiana starts rolling a lot like they did in that 1659 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,559 Speaker 6: Oregon game on the road against Oregon, so I'm along 1660 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 6: those lines. 1661 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 4: Change. Is kind of funny that you bring that up, 1662 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,680 Speaker 4: because I think I'm almost on the reverse of it. 1663 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:33,720 Speaker 4: I thought that Indiana would cruise Bama Oregon. And I 1664 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 4: don't know if it's just because we've talked about this 1665 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,760 Speaker 4: game endless sleep for the last ten days, and like 1666 01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:42,160 Speaker 4: it's like, damn, we're over talking it, Like you almost 1667 01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,600 Speaker 4: are talking your way into something you don't totally believe in. 1668 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 4: There is a part of me that feels that, but 1669 01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,360 Speaker 4: I don't know. I just tonight just feels a little 1670 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:56,200 Speaker 4: different to me. And you know, again, I'm not probably 1671 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,639 Speaker 4: sitting here thinking Miami's going to win the game, I guess, 1672 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 4: just to be clear on it. But you know, if 1673 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:02,439 Speaker 4: I had to go one way or the other on 1674 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 4: the line, I guess maybe I would take Miami with 1675 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 4: those points, which again is contradicting what I thought. I 1676 01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 4: thought they'd roll Alabama. I thought they'd you know, comfortably 1677 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 4: beat Oregon, not of course to the level of thirty 1678 01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:17,760 Speaker 4: five and whatever it was, thirty four points. But I 1679 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,639 Speaker 4: just think Miami is a different test. I do. And 1680 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 4: you know, there's a reason why they won at Texas 1681 01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:25,920 Speaker 4: A and M. There's a reason why they controlled that 1682 01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 4: Ohio State game for as long as they did here, 1683 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm just ready. 1684 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 6: I wonder how many people will be in that stadium 1685 01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,479 Speaker 6: tonight that were there, Kevin back in two thousand and 1686 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 6: seven when the Colts beat the Chicago Bears. How cool 1687 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,320 Speaker 6: would it have been to say, Hey, I've got tickets 1688 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:45,799 Speaker 6: to both of those football games. 1689 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 4: This here from sea Routes at hard Rock had a 1690 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 4: remodel after the y I guess twenty thirteen, was that 1691 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 4: what you said? Josh? Fifteen fifteen national title which. 1692 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 6: Reacha twenty thirteen national tie. I think they remaintled in 1693 01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:57,679 Speaker 6: twenty fifteen. 1694 01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:02,640 Speaker 4: That reduce some of the of the capacity to it. 1695 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 4: So Dana, they do it again too, because Prince tore 1696 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 4: the house down. So then there you go, do it? 1697 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:08,160 Speaker 6: There you go. 1698 01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 5: You remember that day well too, don't you? 1699 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 6: Mark? 1700 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 4: That was an incredible day. Do you think if best 1701 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:19,920 Speaker 4: halftime show ever was Indiana were to lose. Do you 1702 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 4: think tomorrow is like kind of like how Mark feels today? 1703 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 12: Hey, no, No, I think it's different because you got 1704 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:32,759 Speaker 12: to the mountaintop and then you failed to your point. 1705 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,839 Speaker 4: Earlier lost in the Super Bowl, you would feel differently. 1706 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:36,920 Speaker 15: I think. 1707 01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,080 Speaker 12: I think it's different circumstances because again, like I don't know, 1708 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 12: You're college football is so different than the NFL. 1709 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 4: I feel like, where's the Bears kind of had a 1710 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 4: magical run and everything like that. 1711 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 12: So I'm like, Okay, like, we'll see how far this 1712 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 12: takes us this year, but there's obviously improvements that can 1713 01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:51,639 Speaker 12: be made. 1714 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:52,360 Speaker 5: This year. 1715 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,639 Speaker 12: You were hands about like you were far and away 1716 01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,599 Speaker 12: the better team throughout the entire college football playoffs and everything. 1717 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,720 Speaker 12: So I I just think that's a lot of disappointment 1718 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 12: if you come up short, especially when you're such a 1719 01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:05,320 Speaker 12: heavy favorite heading into it. 1720 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,439 Speaker 11: Now, Yeah, I would say you wouldn't look at the 1721 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 11: season as a disappointment, but losing this game would be 1722 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 11: very disappointing because again, this isn't kind of like marks 1723 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:22,360 Speaker 11: Bears where they were going on like the Cinderella run 1724 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 11: and to give it a local tie, it was like 1725 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 11: the Pacers. 1726 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:25,600 Speaker 10: Like the Pacers. 1727 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,799 Speaker 11: I think part of the devastation, aside from the Halliburton injury, 1728 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,880 Speaker 11: is knowing that they went on a run that you 1729 01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,439 Speaker 11: probably will never be able to replicate with so many 1730 01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 11: game winners and crazy comebacks that just probably will never 1731 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:42,599 Speaker 11: happen again in the sport, and one postseason run. Whereas 1732 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,880 Speaker 11: with I you you've been dominant pretty much all year. 1733 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 11: You have some close calls because all teams do, but 1734 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 11: not in the playoffs. This is who you've been. You've 1735 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 11: been far and away the better team. So to get 1736 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,519 Speaker 11: to this moment and lose this game, that would be 1737 01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 11: a hard pital swallow and no one should look at 1738 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,160 Speaker 11: them and say you're a failure. But I definitely think 1739 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,519 Speaker 11: there will be a lot of emotions of man, we 1740 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 11: were right there and just knowing that you never won 1741 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:08,439 Speaker 11: it before. 1742 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 10: So that's part of it too. 1743 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,960 Speaker 6: Kevin vvingk too. When you look at this team, it's 1744 01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,640 Speaker 6: a complete football team. Like where do you say? And 1745 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,559 Speaker 6: usually when teams are ascending like Mark was talking about, 1746 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 6: or team that has a magical run, there's some flaw 1747 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 6: that you were able to overcome or get past. What's 1748 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 6: the fall? What are the warts on this Indiana team? 1749 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,839 Speaker 4: Hardly any? Yeah, I mean probably none is the easiest 1750 01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 4: way to put it. You know, I think if you 1751 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 4: were to ask Kurt Signetti, he might nitpick and say 1752 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:39,559 Speaker 4: at times there's been a coverage buster two. But still 1753 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 4: I mean for a college football team, because usually it 1754 01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 4: is just you know, how disciplined or undisciplined. I guess 1755 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,639 Speaker 4: are you You know I've said it after the Peach Bowl. 1756 01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 4: I think the greatest compliments Indiana, which I don't know 1757 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,599 Speaker 4: if it's like the sexiest compliment, but I think they 1758 01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,640 Speaker 4: have a professional level of discipline. You know, for the 1759 01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 4: most part, when you watch NFL games, it's not a 1760 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:07,479 Speaker 4: game of stupidity that can lead to like, you know, 1761 01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,320 Speaker 4: yes we had some you know whatever post whistle penalties, 1762 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 4: but like you didn't have that many. If you watch 1763 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 4: any of those four games, it's not like, yeah, you're 1764 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 4: sure you have a rough in the passer here there. 1765 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,519 Speaker 4: But you know, for the most part, you know, the 1766 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 4: big flags are like competitive plays down the field, and 1767 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,599 Speaker 4: you know that's what gets whistled there. You know, Mark's 1768 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:26,559 Speaker 4: you know, Mark's not sitting here being like, hey, the 1769 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,879 Speaker 4: Bear's loss due to penalties, you know, necessarily Like whereas 1770 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,320 Speaker 4: in college, if you look at it, Miami, if they 1771 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:35,160 Speaker 4: would have lost that Old Miss game, you know, if whatever, 1772 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,840 Speaker 4: Carson Beck doesn't scramble there you would say that was 1773 01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 4: Miami was so stupid in that game. They had ten 1774 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 4: penalties in that game, Like they were undisciplined, galore, pre stamp, 1775 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 4: post snap, all that stuff. So again, that's to me 1776 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,599 Speaker 4: is what you know. I'll continue to say Indiana's greatest 1777 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:53,360 Speaker 4: strength is Miami's biggest weakness. Yeah, in just the discipline 1778 01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 4: for Indiana, the lack thereof Now in a national championship setting, 1779 01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,599 Speaker 4: what happens, you know, is it? 1780 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:00,240 Speaker 15: You know it? 1781 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,719 Speaker 4: To James's point, is there a little pressure? Does Indiana 1782 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,919 Speaker 4: feel pressure for the first time, because like even before 1783 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,759 Speaker 4: all this it didn't seem like like it just seems 1784 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 4: like the pressures now much more on Indiana for the 1785 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 4: first time maybe in these two years. And Kurtzignettia, I 1786 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:16,679 Speaker 4: think I was part of what he was saying yesterday, 1787 01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 4: you know when he makes the analogy of the cookies 1788 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 4: in the milk, you know, going to war. He brought 1789 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 4: up the I don't know if you guys saw like 1790 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 4: the Holly Rowe clip exiting practice, Like Holly row ESPN 1791 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,800 Speaker 4: sideline reporter mentioned how she was blown away by the 1792 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 4: Indiana practice, their final practice of the year, and all 1793 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 4: these guys are embracing after practice and you know whatever 1794 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 4: scene that she hasn't seen in quite a while. Kurtzignetti 1795 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,680 Speaker 4: found the need to bring that up yesterday as like 1796 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 4: rat poison like again, I mean like Signetti's starting to 1797 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 4: play a little bit more of that card of like 1798 01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,839 Speaker 4: I need to be the bad cop here, which is 1799 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:55,000 Speaker 4: such a wild dynamic to this story. Here is like 1800 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 4: the story of all unknowns, a little bit Cinderella E 1801 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,680 Speaker 4: the losingess pro Graham college football history now playing for 1802 01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 4: a national title. And not only are they playing there, 1803 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 4: but this is not Butler in the national championship game 1804 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,639 Speaker 4: in twenty ten or twenty eleven, where you'ld still say 1805 01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 4: they were the underdog against Duker, You right, exactly, No, no, no, 1806 01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,840 Speaker 4: they are like the outright favorite and we would call 1807 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,160 Speaker 4: it one of the bigger upsets in national championship history 1808 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,639 Speaker 4: if Miami were to beat them, which is just another 1809 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,439 Speaker 4: like twist to all of it. 1810 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:26,519 Speaker 10: Say that since it's again, are we in real life 1811 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:27,080 Speaker 10: right now? 1812 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:27,800 Speaker 6: Seriously? 1813 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 4: I mean like if you look at it from a 1814 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,160 Speaker 4: you know, a touchdown favorite, like ask, imagine telling some 1815 01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,400 Speaker 4: of these Miami alum this twenty years ago. 1816 01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, you'd be going into a national championship game as 1817 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 11: underdog is against Indiana. 1818 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 4: Which you guys watch. I mean, you guys watched Signetti 1819 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,680 Speaker 4: and Crysta Ball yesterday for those that missed it. They 1820 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,720 Speaker 4: are side by side in the final press conference. That's 1821 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,720 Speaker 4: how the final media session works. Hearing Kurt Signetti have 1822 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,680 Speaker 4: to try and talk his team down a little bit 1823 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 4: versus Mario Cristabal getting questions asked about being a significant 1824 01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:02,479 Speaker 4: underdog was another, just again fascinating dynamic to tonight. 1825 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,000 Speaker 11: I also think that the conversation you have publicly is 1826 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:09,280 Speaker 11: probably different. It's probably different privately because I could totally see, 1827 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,240 Speaker 11: you know, cameras aren't around, MIC's aren't around, or perhaps 1828 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:14,600 Speaker 11: they are for when you win and you get to 1829 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,800 Speaker 11: put that out there. But point being, we don't see 1830 01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 11: it before the game. But I can't imagine that he's 1831 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 11: telling his team anything other than we're gonna go out 1832 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,639 Speaker 11: there and kick them in the you know what, because 1833 01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:27,719 Speaker 11: they've done it to every team so far this season, 1834 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,680 Speaker 11: especially in the playoffs. So yeah, you can play it 1835 01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:32,519 Speaker 11: up to us, Oh we're not that great and we 1836 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,719 Speaker 11: don't want to listen to you all, but you better 1837 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,519 Speaker 11: believe he's going in the locker room telling those guys 1838 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,040 Speaker 11: we are better than them and we're gonna beat them 1839 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 11: down on every single play until we show the world that. 1840 01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:42,680 Speaker 10: So I'm excited for it. 1841 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just curious last thing before we move on. 1842 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,679 Speaker 6: Do you guys see more a game like the one 1843 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:53,719 Speaker 6: against Ohio State at Logos Oil Stadium or more against 1844 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,280 Speaker 6: Alabama where it's like Katie bar the door, let's go. 1845 01:22:58,680 --> 01:22:58,880 Speaker 14: Oh? 1846 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I I guess I just kind of said 1847 01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 4: it there, No. 1848 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 6: He did, But I'm just can you foresee with we 1849 01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 6: talked about that line play that Miami has this year, 1850 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:10,000 Speaker 6: could it be just one of those slug it out games? 1851 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1852 01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,960 Speaker 4: I mean as far as the game style, I mean, 1853 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 4: I do think both teams want to certainly establish their 1854 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 4: own respective run games. And Sean McDonough said it to 1855 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 4: us forty five minutes ago. You know, these are probably, 1856 01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,240 Speaker 4: if not two of the better combined trench play units 1857 01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 4: in all of college football. As far as total points 1858 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,640 Speaker 4: is concerned, I don't know. I probably a little bit 1859 01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 4: more on the what is it forty seven and a 1860 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 4: half mark? Is that right? I'm probably a little bit 1861 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,280 Speaker 4: more under if you maybe pick that. 1862 01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I hear everything you're saying. I just 1863 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:38,480 Speaker 5: throughout that possibility. 1864 01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,479 Speaker 6: That's the one kind of game that worries me just 1865 01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 6: a little bit, where it's just slugfest and every single 1866 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 6: possession matters right up till the very end. Got Goats 1867 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 6: of the week coming up in just a moment here 1868 01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,080 Speaker 6: as we continue in ninety three five and one of seven, 1869 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:53,960 Speaker 6: five of the fan COOLi is the goat. 1870 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,599 Speaker 4: I told you all that I was the greatest of 1871 01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 4: all time. 1872 01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,320 Speaker 6: Organ here's Michael at the fileline. 1873 01:23:59,360 --> 01:23:59,920 Speaker 8: I shot at it. 1874 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:18,280 Speaker 16: Oh God, or goat this guy sucks of the week. 1875 01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,120 Speaker 6: It's that time, guys, the best, the worst, and the 1876 01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 6: world of sports can be a little bit wacky at times. 1877 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 6: I will start with you, James Boyd. Who is your 1878 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,559 Speaker 6: bad goat of the week? Who you've got something in 1879 01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 6: for this week? 1880 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,639 Speaker 11: Josh Allen, I'm not letting you off the hook, brother, 1881 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 11: I understand the tears. I'm not saying it's all your fault, 1882 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 11: but four turnovers, worst play performance of your life, and 1883 01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 11: the Brandon Cooks interception in overtime or whatever, that is 1884 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 11: probably just like the worst luck ever. I thought it 1885 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 11: was a correct call, but you can't draw that play 1886 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:54,680 Speaker 11: up if you wanted to. 1887 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:55,719 Speaker 10: That's just a bad break. 1888 01:24:55,800 --> 01:25:01,320 Speaker 11: But the fumble before halftime Looney tunes as so that 1889 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 11: ended up being a three point difference in a three 1890 01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,640 Speaker 11: point loss. So, Josh Allen, my bag go to the 1891 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 11: week You got a chance to get it done and 1892 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 11: you Didn'tight, Kevin Bowen. 1893 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, My awful goat of the weekend is the head 1894 01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:18,120 Speaker 4: basketball coach of the Georgetown Hoyas Ed Cooley, who post game, 1895 01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 4: I do remember this plays the car that you occasionally 1896 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:26,439 Speaker 4: see played, not very often, but you occasionally see play now. 1897 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:28,960 Speaker 4: Ed Cooley, Boys, you know how much he makes annually? 1898 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:33,760 Speaker 6: Ed probably five and a half six million dollars year, making. 1899 01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:37,280 Speaker 4: Six million annually. He echoed this statement post game, there's 1900 01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 4: a lot worse happening than Georgetown losing a basketball game 1901 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,800 Speaker 4: around the world, around our city, around our community. You 1902 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,840 Speaker 4: know what we are. We're blessed. We're blessed to be 1903 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,120 Speaker 4: nine to nine. We're blessed to be one and six 1904 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,920 Speaker 4: in the league. It could be a lot worse. There's 1905 01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 4: nothing I hate more than when you have sports figures 1906 01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,919 Speaker 4: like this try to live in the bubble of comparing 1907 01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 4: what they're doing to the world countries that are out there. 1908 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 4: We get it, obviously, we realize that there are a 1909 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,120 Speaker 4: lot of things going on in the world. But when 1910 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 4: we are in a press conference setting, or we are 1911 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 4: in the sports setting, we're living in that bubble. We're 1912 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,760 Speaker 4: not living in the bubble of you know, hunger and 1913 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 4: starvation and all of that. No, no, no, we're in 1914 01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,720 Speaker 4: the sports world. At Cooley, do not try to play 1915 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,600 Speaker 4: that card on me that you are blessed to be 1916 01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,000 Speaker 4: nine to nine and we're blessed to be one and 1917 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:28,800 Speaker 4: six in the league and try to play that card. 1918 01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 4: I thought it was absolutely pathetic by Ed Cooley postking I'd. 1919 01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 10: Been fired on the spot for that. 1920 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought about Josh Allen, I thought about CJ. 1921 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 5: Stroud for on the field performance. 1922 01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:41,960 Speaker 6: I'm going to go with the officials in the Denver 1923 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:43,719 Speaker 6: Buffalo game, not because of the play. 1924 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:44,400 Speaker 5: That you talked about. 1925 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:46,960 Speaker 6: It's the one that nobody's talking about today and there's 1926 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,200 Speaker 6: clear visual and photographic evidence of it. At the beginning 1927 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 6: of that drive where you had the contested catch, the 1928 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 6: controversial call, interception, reception, all those kinds of things. What 1929 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 6: to catch back at the beginning of that in the 1930 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,120 Speaker 6: end zone, Buffalo had the ball, They're backed up, Josh 1931 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 6: Allen is in the end zone looking for a man downfield, 1932 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,559 Speaker 6: and there is a clear and obvious hold to his 1933 01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 6: right that should have been called. It would have been 1934 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,720 Speaker 6: a safety, the game would have been over, and more importantly, 1935 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,599 Speaker 6: bo Nix would still be the quarterback for the Denver Broncos. 1936 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,240 Speaker 6: That's my problem with the with the officials his past weekend. 1937 01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 5: All right, move on to the good stuff. 1938 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,839 Speaker 4: My lower over. Oh yes, c J. Stroud was dreadful. 1939 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,879 Speaker 12: Five interceptions in going to pick six and five fummals, 1940 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 12: tear raugh ball. 1941 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:37,839 Speaker 5: There you go. Terrible. 1942 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 10: He was god awful. 1943 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 4: One play from that Bill's Broncos game. I hated the Bills, 1944 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 4: and it might have been a Josh Allen check, to 1945 01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 4: be honest with you, throwing the screen on like the 1946 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,639 Speaker 4: third and eight before they ended up kicking the field 1947 01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:55,880 Speaker 4: goal there late in regulation that I thought was a 1948 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 4: moment where if the Bills score a touchdown and Romo 1949 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 4: I think and Nance debated this a little. You could 1950 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 4: have gone for two there and gotten it to nine 1951 01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 4: and pretty much end of the game. Even if you 1952 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,800 Speaker 4: kick the extra point, you're still up eight there. Yeah, 1953 01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,960 Speaker 4: they treated that, and maybe it was Josh Allen checkin. 1954 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 4: They treated that like I was Philip Rivers off the couch, 1955 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 4: go for the jugglar. I mean, you have Josh freaking Allen. 1956 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:16,559 Speaker 4: I give you a lot of turnovers in the game, 1957 01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,000 Speaker 4: but man, you gotta trust your dude in that setting 1958 01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 4: to try and win it, not rely on your defense. 1959 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 4: And it bit him in the end. 1960 01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,759 Speaker 6: All right, let's go to the great goats of the week. 1961 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,080 Speaker 5: Who gets all the flowers? James Boyd, I'll. 1962 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 10: Go with bow Knicks. I feel sorry for the guy. 1963 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 11: I thought that he played a really good game only 1964 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:37,960 Speaker 11: in his what second year, takes his team to the 1965 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,080 Speaker 11: AFC Championship game and can no longer compete in that atmosphere. 1966 01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 11: But three touchdowns won interception. I thought that he made 1967 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,559 Speaker 11: some really big time throws there late to give his 1968 01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,800 Speaker 11: team a chance. And when you're going totto with Josh 1969 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,200 Speaker 11: Allen and you don't blink, you earn my respect. 1970 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,880 Speaker 4: My great goat was the emotion in the Buffalo locker room. 1971 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,439 Speaker 4: You know, I think times in sports we sit here 1972 01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,320 Speaker 4: and we're like special professional sports. You know, how much 1973 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,000 Speaker 4: is the care factor? What is it? And you see 1974 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 4: the tears in the emotion, not just from Josh Allen. 1975 01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 4: There are a lot of guys in that locker room. 1976 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:12,840 Speaker 4: I thought that was a cool scene, and it's a 1977 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 4: reminder that, you know sports, it's part of why we 1978 01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:16,960 Speaker 4: love sports, or at least why I love sports. I'll speak 1979 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 4: for myself, is when you see emotion like that, I mean, 1980 01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,719 Speaker 4: we're talking about millions and millions of Josh Allen's living, 1981 01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 4: living a pretty good life. You know how much money 1982 01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 4: Josh Allen's got. Have you seen missus Allen? Josh Allen's living, 1983 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,040 Speaker 4: living a pretty good life, and yet to see his emotion, 1984 01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:33,559 Speaker 4: to see Dion Dawkins emotion, to see Brandon Cook's emotion. 1985 01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:35,679 Speaker 4: I thought that was really cool. 1986 01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,600 Speaker 6: It's one of things I love about the postseason. To 1987 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,160 Speaker 6: piggyback on what you're talking about, is it's the one. Yes, 1988 01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,080 Speaker 6: the money is important to these guys, but this is 1989 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 6: the time of year, whether it's NBA, whether it's the NFL. 1990 01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,720 Speaker 6: You saw it with the Pacers last year, it's really 1991 01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 6: about winning and losing. 1992 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,080 Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, Pacers Game seven was similar. I get that 1993 01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 4: was probably a little bit more Haliburn injury related, but 1994 01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 4: you know, I think that had a lot of the 1995 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:56,040 Speaker 4: same elements. 1996 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,360 Speaker 6: All right, I'm gonna go I was. I was fired 1997 01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 6: up for the Butler win. They needed that win. 1998 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:01,679 Speaker 5: They got it. 1999 01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 6: It was on the road. It was against Seaton Hall 2000 01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:07,080 Speaker 6: Finley Bisjack is my go to the week. Twenty five points, 2001 01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,599 Speaker 6: four of seven from three point range and just seemed 2002 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,040 Speaker 6: to make a plays, as did many of the Butler 2003 01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,400 Speaker 6: He's kind of representative of the entire team. But I 2004 01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,559 Speaker 6: thought it was nice to see Butler with that road 2005 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,240 Speaker 6: win and their best player playing big at his best times. 2006 01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,240 Speaker 5: That was my go to the week. Over the weekend, 2007 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:24,600 Speaker 5: it was I enjoyed. 2008 01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:27,880 Speaker 12: That Mark Seattle defense played out of their minds from 2009 01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,759 Speaker 12: the start of the game. DeMarcus Lawrence and Letter Williams 2010 01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,479 Speaker 12: in particular, My god, they destroyed the forty nine ers. 2011 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:37,799 Speaker 5: That was a train wreck in a lot of ways. 2012 01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,880 Speaker 6: Man, if you're if you're on the wrong end of 2013 01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 6: that Sattle score, no question about that. 2014 01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,000 Speaker 5: Those are your goats of the week. 2015 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 6: Coming up at a moment we check in with the 2016 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:50,120 Speaker 6: man in charge of Indiana Athletics.

But I thought about Fernando Mendoza because he 2096 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,200 Speaker 6: was meeting with the media, just like Churt Signette was, 2097 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:11,240 Speaker 6: and you know, being the Heisman Trophy winner, you have 2098 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,280 Speaker 6: those obligations. But he gave the most Fernando Mendoza answer 2099 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,559 Speaker 6: to a question that you're ever going to find. And 2100 01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,559 Speaker 6: I loved every single second of it. And it's he 2101 01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:26,479 Speaker 6: is wonderfully himself at all times, no matter who he's 2102 01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:29,479 Speaker 6: talking to or what he's talking about. And I just 2103 01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 6: want to give you some unfiltered Fernando Mendoza on you know, 2104 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:40,479 Speaker 6: talking about the message to his team before this before 2105 01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:41,799 Speaker 6: his game against Oregon. 2106 01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:43,759 Speaker 5: We've we've heard that we heard. 2107 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,960 Speaker 6: Him recently talking about what it would mean to win 2108 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:48,960 Speaker 6: a national title for Who's your Nation. 2109 01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:51,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would mean a lot, and I know how 2110 01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:53,439 Speaker 3: much it would mean to people, and I know that 2111 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,040 Speaker 3: the best way to accomplish this goal is a relateds 2112 01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 3: foes in the football and really just trying to dial 2113 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,080 Speaker 3: it in for this game and treat it a normal game, 2114 01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,599 Speaker 3: although it's not a normal game, the tree to as one. 2115 01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 3: And although you're canna prepare a little bit more, and 2116 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:08,960 Speaker 3: although that it's gonna externalities are going to pressure it 2117 01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,519 Speaker 3: to be a little bit more than a normal game, 2118 01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 3: to really really keep it in that mindset, in that 2119 01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:16,840 Speaker 3: football mindset and do my part, just because I know 2120 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,600 Speaker 3: myself focusing on the job and myself focused in the 2121 01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 3: present gives the Hoosiers the best chance to win.

I feel like I have to get 2128 01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 10: the dictionary out. 2129 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:35,960 Speaker 4: Can you can you play like the first ten seconds 2130 01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:36,920 Speaker 4: of that again?

Sorry about that? 2141 01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:59,040 Speaker 10: Well, no, none of those words. What kind of education 2142 01:35:59,080 --> 01:35:59,519 Speaker 10: they give you? 2143 01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:01,960 Speaker 4: An I had extra something or other in there, and 2144 01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,280 Speaker 4: I had no idea what he was saying, Like. 2145 01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,599 Speaker 10: Synergy's likext the word synergy a lot. Did I see? 2146 01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:08,360 Speaker 4: The Raiders are in the building tonight to watch for 2147 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:10,879 Speaker 4: Nana Mendoza. They're interviewing Mike McDaniel in Miami. 2148 01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,320 Speaker 10: Dad, I got a ticket, diard Raiders fan. 2149 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:16,360 Speaker 11: He believes Banana Mendoza will for the first fourth of 2150 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:18,760 Speaker 11: that franchise, And I just wish random Mendoza could go 2151 01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 11: back to school. 2152 01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:23,560 Speaker 3: You think, though, that it's gonna externalities are gonna do externality. 2153 01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:25,040 Speaker 5: What was that? 2154 01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:30,559 Speaker 4: I think that's an externalities et phone home. I I 2155 01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:31,479 Speaker 4: just didn't follow that. 2156 01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,400 Speaker 11: Any side effect or a consequence of an industrial commercial 2157 01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 11: activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in 2158 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,080 Speaker 11: the cost of the goods or services involved an econ term. 2159 01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:48,479 Speaker 4: Your lord, you think Mendoza feels any pressure Miami. 2160 01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:50,240 Speaker 5: Absolutely a human being. 2161 01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:51,519 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I think you feel it. 2162 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:55,240 Speaker 11: But I also think that high level athletes, especially one 2163 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:57,559 Speaker 11: who's performed like he has on the big stage you'll 2164 01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:00,240 Speaker 11: probably wire a little bit differently and you walk up that, 2165 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,679 Speaker 11: Whereas if that was me, I'd be shaking the entire 2166 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:06,640 Speaker 11: day and be terrified of making a mistake. I think 2167 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:09,600 Speaker 11: the thrill of that feels them, so maybe it's a 2168 01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:11,720 Speaker 11: little bit nerves. I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if 2169 01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:14,599 Speaker 11: you came out first driver or two and you missed 2170 01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:17,320 Speaker 11: a couple throws you usually make. But it won't take long, 2171 01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:18,600 Speaker 11: I don't think for himnn get dialed in. 2172 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:20,800 Speaker 4: See that's the thing we haven't seen yet. And if 2173 01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:24,400 Speaker 4: you are a Miami fan for tonight, you're hoping and praying, 2174 01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 4: can you just get your feet wet in this game? 2175 01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:30,679 Speaker 4: Just get in. I mean, Indiana's not let the opponent 2176 01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 4: get into a normal flow of a football game. And 2177 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:38,280 Speaker 4: you know, since that Ohio State game, really, you know, 2178 01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 4: both the stats are equally as astonishing, in my opinion, 2179 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,600 Speaker 4: the Mendoza stat of you know, the more touchdowns and 2180 01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,880 Speaker 4: incompletions and whatever it is five or six games this season. 2181 01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 4: I think the other one that's right up there is 2182 01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,479 Speaker 4: the fact that Indiana's recorded an interception on like five 2183 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:56,360 Speaker 4: opening drives this season. I mean, again, you don't let 2184 01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:59,840 Speaker 4: your opponent breathe, you don't let them at all, just 2185 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:06,320 Speaker 4: settle into a game. To me, it's you know, I 2186 01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:10,400 Speaker 4: fire or Marin crystaball. I'd be deferring in a heartbeat 2187 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:14,080 Speaker 4: tonight just to say, hey, let's hope and pray. Indiana's 2188 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,320 Speaker 4: got a little bit of nerves out of the gate, 2189 01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 4: and at least we can get two minutes into the 2190 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,880 Speaker 4: game and maybe you know, they're not all of a sudden, 2191 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 4: you know, eighty yards down the field on us. There 2192 01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:27,120 Speaker 4: kind of a hope and a prayer because Oregon and Alabama, 2193 01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,800 Speaker 4: you know, it's been over very very quickly into both 2194 01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,960 Speaker 4: of those games there. So I think that's another key 2195 01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:35,760 Speaker 4: to tonight of we haven't you know, Miami has played 2196 01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:38,280 Speaker 4: games with obviously massive game pressure each of the last 2197 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:40,200 Speaker 4: three games. All three of their playoff games have had 2198 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:43,160 Speaker 4: big time, big time moments in the second half Indiana 2199 01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:45,479 Speaker 4: second half debate has been should they keep Fernanda Mendoz 2200 01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:45,960 Speaker 4: in the game? 2201 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,839 Speaker 6: Well, you go back to Fernanda Mendoza and the pressure 2202 01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,000 Speaker 6: that he feels, and I kind of go back to 2203 01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 6: the beginning of that the Ohio State Gamemember when he 2204 01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,800 Speaker 6: just got rocked right out of the gate and he 2205 01:38:57,920 --> 01:38:59,880 Speaker 6: just popped up and you can almost kind of tell like, yeah, 2206 01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:01,559 Speaker 6: now we're playing football, let's go. 2207 01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:03,759 Speaker 5: I just think to your point, Jens. 2208 01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:06,880 Speaker 10: He did not pop up. They're all terrified, but he 2209 01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:07,759 Speaker 10: bounce was over. 2210 01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:10,439 Speaker 6: Point is he bounced back and he talked about how 2211 01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:14,080 Speaker 6: afterwards his feeling was all right, now it's football game, 2212 01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:16,920 Speaker 6: let's go. And I think that's the mindset that he 2213 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,320 Speaker 6: brings into this. I think he's looking forward to it. 2214 01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:20,680 Speaker 6: There are a lot of guys that don't feel like 2215 01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:21,559 Speaker 6: they're playing until. 2216 01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:21,880 Speaker 5: They get hit. 2217 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:24,519 Speaker 11: Well, I'll for him not to take that kind of 2218 01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:28,040 Speaker 11: hit tonight, because boy, for about two minutes there, we thought, 2219 01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:28,960 Speaker 11: you see it was over. 2220 01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,240 Speaker 6: So that comes your way tonight. Seven fifty is the 2221 01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:34,960 Speaker 6: kick time. And one other thing I wanted to play 2222 01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:37,639 Speaker 6: here Mark too. They have Kurt Signetti who was also 2223 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,960 Speaker 6: trying to downplay the fact that Indiana is this favorite 2224 01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:44,519 Speaker 6: in this National championship game over Miami. He was trying 2225 01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 6: to explain to all of us like he just doesn't 2226 01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:47,360 Speaker 6: understand why that is. 2227 01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:51,920 Speaker 17: They're athletic at all positions. They have great team speed, 2228 01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:56,920 Speaker 17: they have good, really good size. Their defensive line. The 2229 01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,800 Speaker 17: two ends are you know, game changers. Inside guys are 2230 01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,880 Speaker 17: really good. They got depth there too, linebackers running hit. 2231 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,840 Speaker 17: Corey's doing a great job of coordinating the defense. Offensively, 2232 01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,320 Speaker 17: the line's big, you know, the start and running back 2233 01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:14,720 Speaker 17: is big, running really well. I think they do a 2234 01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:20,640 Speaker 17: great job of blocking. The receiving corp is deep and athletic, 2235 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:24,320 Speaker 17: and number ten obviously is an unbelievable weapon. I think 2236 01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:26,800 Speaker 17: he's got ninety nine catches, no drops, and he can 2237 01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,280 Speaker 17: throw the ball on trick plays too, and he's a 2238 01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:33,160 Speaker 17: punt returner. And the tight ends are good, and the 2239 01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:36,240 Speaker 17: special teams are good. The specialists are good, and they're 2240 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:39,519 Speaker 17: playing at home and they didn't have to travel. So 2241 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,200 Speaker 17: I think the eight and a half point spreads a setup. 2242 01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:53,479 Speaker 10: You got one of one man. 2243 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:59,640 Speaker 11: Like the guy is just he's like weirdly angry all 2244 01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,400 Speaker 11: the time, but like a really good dude as well, 2245 01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,200 Speaker 11: so you got to enjoy it. I did find it 2246 01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:10,719 Speaker 11: interesting though, we were talking about his rise with IU. 2247 01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:13,720 Speaker 11: He did come out and say over the weekend that 2248 01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 11: he is a college guy that the NFL does not 2249 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:17,920 Speaker 11: interest him, and I kind of purke my ears up 2250 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:21,479 Speaker 11: because clearly he's someone who should get interest if he 2251 01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:24,479 Speaker 11: were seriously considering going to the NFL.

Especially with you know, 2374 01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:43,200 Speaker 4: still a good amount of the in state influence on 2375 01:46:43,240 --> 01:46:45,760 Speaker 4: that roster.

Whereas produe football, you know, 2378 01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:54,559 Speaker 4: it's probably more of the way how many coaches have 2379 01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:58,040 Speaker 4: we hired when we could have hired Kurt Signetty or 2380 01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:01,439 Speaker 4: you know that. You know, it's not like Indiana, you know, 2381 01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:04,280 Speaker 4: paid an absurd amount of money to get kurtz Ignetty 2382 01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,479 Speaker 4: to come coach their football program. You know, kurtz IGNETI. 2383 01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:08,479 Speaker 4: I don't think it was on any serious Big ten 2384 01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,400 Speaker 4: necessarily coaching list. I did find it interesting that Signetti said, 2385 01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:16,080 Speaker 4: oh boy, is this real? Mark Sean McDermott fired, That 2386 01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:16,599 Speaker 4: is real? 2387 01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:17,320 Speaker 5: Wow? 2388 01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,519 Speaker 4: Damn hm hmm. 2389 01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,439 Speaker 11: I think it goes back whenever this happens.

I found it wild over the weekend, 2396 01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:48,639 Speaker 4: like the Green Bay Packers are debating this like should 2397 01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:51,280 Speaker 4: they continue with their future?

Miami's won seven straight in 2453 01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:30,839 Speaker 6: their last two games, though, Man, have the Indiana Hoosiers 2454 01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:34,559 Speaker 6: been good. A route of Alabama, a beatdown of Oregon, 2455 01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,600 Speaker 6: and that's probably why the computers like them. At a 2456 01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:42,000 Speaker 6: sixty eight point three percent clip Kevin Bowen to win tonight. 2457 01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:44,599 Speaker 6: But again, if you're Kurt Taknata, you're not buying any 2458 01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:47,280 Speaker 6: of that that that favorite hype note at all. 2459 01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,040 Speaker 4: No, And again a key to watch I think early 2460 01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:51,479 Speaker 4: on in the game one of Miami starting DB's out 2461 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:53,920 Speaker 4: due to targeting in the first half.

So 2568 01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:34,040 Speaker 15: I just can't thank them enough. I mean, the sacrifices 2569 01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:35,960 Speaker 15: that people have made for us to be here. 2570 01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:38,080 Speaker 14: It just sounds a cliche, but we would be here 2571 01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:38,440 Speaker 14: without it. 2572 01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:40,280 Speaker 15: So that's probably the thing I think about the most 2573 01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:42,280 Speaker 15: is just Singer fans, Like last night in the hotel 2574 01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:44,400 Speaker 15: when I got back after I had to go to 2575 01:55:44,440 --> 01:55:47,720 Speaker 15: the CFP reception and I got back and you just 2576 01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:51,880 Speaker 15: can't imagine the energy, the emotion. Just our fans are 2577 01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:54,760 Speaker 15: just everywhere, and it's just we appreciate it so much. 2578 01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:57,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, we have Scott Dowson on the line, vice president 2579 01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:01,640 Speaker 11: and director of inter Collegiate Athlete at I you, Scott 2580 01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:04,000 Speaker 11: James Boyd. Here, I'm in Illinois, alum, and I'm wearing 2581 01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:06,440 Speaker 11: candy strip pants today because I bought these after I 2582 01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:10,760 Speaker 11: lost a really bad bet way back when between Illinois 2583 01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:13,480 Speaker 11: and I you and oh my goodness, that probably was 2584 01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:15,360 Speaker 11: the game in all serious is where I thought, oh 2585 01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:19,040 Speaker 11: my god, I used for real. So obviously you have 2586 01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,480 Speaker 11: to believe in your position, believe in the vision and 2587 01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:23,840 Speaker 11: what you guys are building. But when did you realize 2588 01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:27,760 Speaker 11: perhaps throughout this season that we have a legitimate national 2589 01:56:27,880 --> 01:56:28,839 Speaker 11: championship contender. 2590 01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:32,280 Speaker 15: Yeah. I think you bring up a great point, and 2591 01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:33,880 Speaker 15: I appreciate you wearing those candy stripe pants. 2592 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,760 Speaker 10: Man listeners are loving it. It's painful. 2593 01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:40,640 Speaker 15: It means a lot. But you know, you do bring 2594 01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:44,080 Speaker 15: up the concern the Illinois game was big. But you know, 2595 01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,240 Speaker 15: I remember this summer on a Saturday night, my wife 2596 01:56:47,320 --> 01:56:50,680 Speaker 15: and I went to a practice. It was kind of 2597 01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:54,480 Speaker 15: one of those Faul Camp practices, right when Paul Camp 2598 01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:56,880 Speaker 15: was getting going. And I'm not saying we were sitting 2599 01:56:56,880 --> 01:56:58,839 Speaker 15: there and as I was talking, I think Minette Signetti, 2600 01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:00,800 Speaker 15: coach's wife, stopped by. It was just the three of us, 2601 01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 15: and it's kind of Mpple World Stadium when we're watching practice. 2602 01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:06,080 Speaker 15: And I'd be lying if I said I sat there 2603 01:57:06,120 --> 01:57:08,920 Speaker 15: thinking we can win a national championship, but you know, 2604 01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:12,520 Speaker 15: we have no coach Sig said, self imposed limitations. And 2605 01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:15,080 Speaker 15: as I was sitting there, I remember we were talking 2606 01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,760 Speaker 15: about just you know, we just looked really good and 2607 01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:20,600 Speaker 15: really sharp and together and just all, you know, just 2608 01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:23,920 Speaker 15: to work. There's a there's a you know, everybody sees 2609 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:25,880 Speaker 15: what happens on the field, which has been awesome, but 2610 01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,800 Speaker 15: just the leadership on this team, the quality of just 2611 01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:32,880 Speaker 15: character of the players. I think all those things are 2612 01:57:32,920 --> 01:57:36,280 Speaker 15: important to winning. And at really that moment, I really 2613 01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:38,280 Speaker 15: thought we could be pretty good. But again it just 2614 01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:40,320 Speaker 15: is built from every game from that point on. And 2615 01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:43,400 Speaker 15: the great thing is, again we just take It. Sounds 2616 01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:45,480 Speaker 15: so boring for me to say this, and I apologize, 2617 01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:47,640 Speaker 15: but it really is just one hour at a time, 2618 01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,320 Speaker 15: when meeting at a time. That's the way Coach Sig 2619 01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:54,360 Speaker 15: has just ingrained everything in this program. So nobody's hockey 2620 01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:56,520 Speaker 15: year thinking that we just can show up and win 2621 01:57:56,560 --> 01:57:58,480 Speaker 15: a game. We just have to continue to work the 2622 01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:00,960 Speaker 15: process and get one play at a time. 2623 01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:01,960 Speaker 5: I'm just curious. 2624 01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:03,840 Speaker 6: Before we talked more serious stuff, when was the last 2625 01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,120 Speaker 6: time Scott Dolson rocked to the candy stripe pants? 2626 01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:09,280 Speaker 15: You know, it is so funny, he said that. I 2627 01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:11,560 Speaker 15: shouldn't even say this out loud. I don't know if 2628 01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:13,640 Speaker 15: I've ever worn candy stripe pants. I probably need to 2629 01:58:13,680 --> 01:58:15,600 Speaker 15: do that. That's pretty embarrassing. I haven't done that. All 2630 01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:18,000 Speaker 15: my family, my kids wear them, and everybody's got them. 2631 01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,160 Speaker 14: But I don't know that. 2632 01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:20,840 Speaker 15: I think my body type, but I don't know if 2633 01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:21,640 Speaker 15: I could pull that off. 2634 01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:25,000 Speaker 14: I might, my kids wouldn't let. 2635 01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:25,200 Speaker 6: Me do that. 2636 01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:32,680 Speaker 4: No, Scott the parade, Yeah, yeah, again, the great Scott Dolson. 2637 01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:34,480 Speaker 4: He's with us here on the paylestic asylum. We can't 2638 01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,600 Speaker 4: think I'm enough on game day for that, Scott. We've 2639 01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:39,320 Speaker 4: asked you so much about your first interactions with Kurt Signetti. 2640 01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:41,400 Speaker 4: I don't know if we've asked you about the first 2641 01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:44,040 Speaker 4: time you met for Nando Mendoza. What do you recall 2642 01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:46,360 Speaker 4: from that initial meeting with him? 2643 01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:50,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, I remember, you know, really distinctly because he came 2644 01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:54,600 Speaker 15: in on his visit and I generally meet as many 2645 01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,840 Speaker 15: recruiters as I can, and he came by with his father, 2646 01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:00,320 Speaker 15: came by my office and we sat for probably a 2647 01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:02,840 Speaker 15: half hour and at the table in the office, and 2648 01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:06,200 Speaker 15: we had an awesome talk, and I just remember thinking 2649 01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:10,280 Speaker 15: how mature he is and how authentic he is, and 2650 01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:14,280 Speaker 15: it was just really a great conversation. And it really 2651 01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:18,400 Speaker 15: wasn't me, you know, going through kind of our vision 2652 01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:20,720 Speaker 15: for the program and for the department and all the 2653 01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:22,040 Speaker 15: things that I generally say. 2654 01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:24,640 Speaker 14: It was really just a great back and forth in exchange. 2655 01:59:24,680 --> 01:59:29,640 Speaker 15: And he's a very inquisitive person, and I've seen it 2656 01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:34,360 Speaker 15: just to meet someone randomly and just really does authentically ask, 2657 01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:36,360 Speaker 15: you know, well tell me what you do. And he 2658 01:59:36,360 --> 01:59:38,440 Speaker 15: doesn't say that just to be kind of nice. He 2659 01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:41,400 Speaker 15: really is inquisitive. So I remember when he left with 2660 01:59:41,440 --> 01:59:44,800 Speaker 15: his dad, just thinking, you know, wow, you know, we 2661 01:59:44,880 --> 01:59:47,320 Speaker 15: know the talent and he's got all kinds of potential. 2662 01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:49,879 Speaker 15: But it was just more him as a person and 2663 01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,720 Speaker 15: the leader he is and just how he how he talked. 2664 01:59:53,800 --> 01:59:56,080 Speaker 15: It was just super interesting. Just like I said, he 2665 01:59:56,160 --> 01:59:58,400 Speaker 15: just asked me so many really really great questions. 2666 01:59:58,840 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 10: Scott. 2667 01:59:59,280 --> 02:00:03,680 Speaker 11: When you look and the makeup of this team, how 2668 02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:06,280 Speaker 11: much credit do you think goes to not just Kurt Signetty, 2669 02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:09,120 Speaker 11: but the rest of the coaching staff and the recruiter 2670 02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:11,120 Speaker 11: is finding the right guys Because we're in a new 2671 02:00:11,160 --> 02:00:13,600 Speaker 11: age in college football where you can go out and 2672 02:00:13,840 --> 02:00:15,960 Speaker 11: hit the transfer portal and bring guys in they play 2673 02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:18,839 Speaker 11: right away. But finding the right guy So what messes 2674 02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:21,240 Speaker 11: in a way that we've seen to now again you're 2675 02:00:21,280 --> 02:00:22,640 Speaker 11: one one way from national championship. 2676 02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:26,560 Speaker 15: Yeah, I can't give them enough credit. Honestly, it starts 2677 02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:29,640 Speaker 15: with coach Sigg. You know, he said during his interview. 2678 02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:32,120 Speaker 15: One of the things is really important to him is 2679 02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:34,640 Speaker 15: that he is the final thumbs up or thumbs down 2680 02:00:34,680 --> 02:00:38,640 Speaker 15: with any addition to the program, every single recruit, obviously 2681 02:00:38,640 --> 02:00:42,440 Speaker 15: every staff member, and the process they go through and 2682 02:00:42,440 --> 02:00:44,040 Speaker 15: evaluating who. 2683 02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:45,680 Speaker 14: They're going to add to the program. 2684 02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:49,480 Speaker 15: Is in depth, and I really love it just watching 2685 02:00:49,520 --> 02:00:51,880 Speaker 15: how they've done it. And as you can tell by 2686 02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:55,760 Speaker 15: looking at their roster, it's a wide collection of student 2687 02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:59,560 Speaker 15: athletes with different talents, but the one common denominator is 2688 02:00:59,720 --> 02:01:02,600 Speaker 15: you know, he will not add anyone to the program 2689 02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:05,880 Speaker 15: that he feels doesn't have the right intentions and the 2690 02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:08,320 Speaker 15: right character. And again that's easy to say, it's hard 2691 02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:10,400 Speaker 15: to do. You could get lured into while this player 2692 02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,600 Speaker 15: is super talented, you know, we can mold in into 2693 02:01:13,720 --> 02:01:15,960 Speaker 15: what would fit for us, and you know that's just 2694 02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:19,040 Speaker 15: not his style. And I've seen it time and time again, 2695 02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,520 Speaker 15: and I can't tell you even in this recruiting cycle 2696 02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:24,880 Speaker 15: which transfers that you know, maybe have a player that 2697 02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:27,320 Speaker 15: we brought in that we thought could be an excellent 2698 02:01:27,320 --> 02:01:29,080 Speaker 15: player for us, but then I you know, I've talked 2699 02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:31,040 Speaker 15: to him and he said, yeah, he just wouldn't fit 2700 02:01:31,040 --> 02:01:31,600 Speaker 15: our locker. 2701 02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:34,120 Speaker 14: Rooms, just not got the right type of. 2702 02:01:34,080 --> 02:01:37,480 Speaker 15: Person, and you got to respect that because in this 2703 02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:40,000 Speaker 15: day and age, when you want to win right away, 2704 02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:43,160 Speaker 15: you can kind of maybe fall for the talent and 2705 02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:46,040 Speaker 15: talk yourself into may taking a risk, and he brings 2706 02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:47,960 Speaker 15: in kids that are here for the right reasons, and 2707 02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:50,720 Speaker 15: he can mold into the team that we want to be. 2708 02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:53,480 Speaker 6: Scott. I was talking to somebody who was in Bloomington 2709 02:01:53,960 --> 02:01:56,960 Speaker 6: last week and they were mentioning the fact that it's 2710 02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:00,720 Speaker 6: the time of year where normally things are quiet. Not 2711 02:02:00,760 --> 02:02:05,080 Speaker 6: everybody's returned from from Christmas break and classes haven't really 2712 02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:06,960 Speaker 6: started back up in earnest or anything like that, and 2713 02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:10,040 Speaker 6: they were saying, it's crazy to fill how alive and 2714 02:02:10,240 --> 02:02:14,200 Speaker 6: busy Bloomington and campus feel right now. What's it been 2715 02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:18,000 Speaker 6: like from your perspective to watch your campus embrace this 2716 02:02:18,120 --> 02:02:18,960 Speaker 6: amazing story. 2717 02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:24,480 Speaker 15: It's incredible, and really it was incredible. The thing I 2718 02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:26,200 Speaker 15: think of when you say that is the day we 2719 02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:30,480 Speaker 15: named Coachi head coach. As you know, we had you know, 2720 02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:32,440 Speaker 15: at press conference that day and then ended up at 2721 02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:34,680 Speaker 15: the basketball game that night, and that kind of funny 2722 02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,120 Speaker 15: scene we introduced him to the crowd and how you 2723 02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:39,920 Speaker 15: got everybody fired up. But I remember walking. It was 2724 02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:43,360 Speaker 15: a long day. I remember walking out of this room 2725 02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:46,080 Speaker 15: in the side. It was probably three or four minutes 2726 02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:49,280 Speaker 15: before tip off, and Coach Sig and I were walking 2727 02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:51,040 Speaker 15: to his seats.

I think twice now throughout this 2857 02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:43,720 Speaker 4: playoff run. That man brings some intensity. So I think 2858 02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:45,880 Speaker 4: if you need anybody to look opposite ray Lewis and 2859 02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:48,839 Speaker 4: Midfield tonight or whoever Miami's gonna throw out there, Greg Olsen, 2860 02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:51,640 Speaker 4: you know, whoever the dolt or whoever the Hurricanes have. 2861 02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:54,720 Speaker 6: I like that one thing about Hurricanes though. Man, they 2862 02:08:54,720 --> 02:08:56,560 Speaker 6: got a lot of folks to choose from. Though, just 2863 02:08:56,640 --> 02:08:59,040 Speaker 6: take a look at those teams in the early two folks. 2864 02:08:58,760 --> 02:08:59,680 Speaker 4: At rock Old Jackets. 2865 02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:02,160 Speaker 10: Them guys ain't out there playing tonight. 2866 02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:03,680 Speaker 5: They will not be out there tonight. 2867 02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:06,960 Speaker 6: All right, let's get our last predictions before the game 2868 02:09:07,040 --> 02:09:09,120 Speaker 6: comes your way tonight. Mark, I'm gonna start with you 2869 02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:11,920 Speaker 6: back there in the enclosed booth. 2870 02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:14,360 Speaker 12: Whom I to deny what Drew just said, fifty six nothing. 2871 02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:19,520 Speaker 11: I like it, respect I'm gonna go thirty three twenty 2872 02:09:19,800 --> 02:09:22,120 Speaker 11: A you. 2873 02:09:21,200 --> 02:09:24,920 Speaker 4: Kevin, I'll go twenty seven to twenty three. I think 2874 02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:28,640 Speaker 4: Miami's crazy enough to do some things that could potentially 2875 02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:31,080 Speaker 4: keep this a game. I don't know why. I'm all 2876 02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:33,600 Speaker 4: of a sudden I thought they'd roll Alabama in Oregon. 2877 02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:36,120 Speaker 4: I don't know if maybe it's just been too long 2878 02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:38,960 Speaker 4: to talk about this game, but I don't know. Weird 2879 02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:40,800 Speaker 4: things can happen in the championship game. I'll say it's 2880 02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:42,120 Speaker 4: a little bit more competitive than most. 2881 02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna go twenty seven twenty I think that's 2882 02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:45,720 Speaker 6: seven and a half points spread. 2883 02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:46,920 Speaker 5: It's just about right. 2884 02:09:47,280 --> 02:09:49,000 Speaker 6: And I also think the over under is just about right, 2885 02:09:49,040 --> 02:09:51,000 Speaker 6: which means I'll probably stay away from both games.
