1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: You know, for some of us, the weekend just means 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: we work a little bit more. You know, weekend is 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: usually good for the Rakestraw family. Dada is out getting paid. 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: I do have a Sunday off. I had planned to 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: use the first syllable of my last name. It was 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: leaf removal weekend of the Rakestraw household. I think my 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: wife has add which for me is a good thing 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: because I'm driving back last night. I was Greg Rakestraw 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: by the way, filling in for j Query here on 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: ninety three five, one oh seven five the fan and 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: like leaves are in piles in my front yard. I'm like, sweete, 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: that was what Sunday was for. So I'm hoping she 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: gets really annoyed with the piles that she sees this 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: afternoon and they are all gone, and then legitimately I 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: get a Sunday off. I love my job, believe it 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: or not. I actually do desire to have a social 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: life and do things that the normal folks do when 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: they're not working on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. I 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: don't have a gig tomorrow after four o'clock. You know, 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: I figure calling one hundred and thirty first mon Bell 21 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Classic is good enough. No Saturday night gig for me almost. 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: I have like a forty eight hour like like window, 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, like I have shore leave or something. I'm 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: in the military coming up this weekend. I will figure 25 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: out something to do. But much as we talked about 26 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: yesterday on the program, do not mistake the Colts not 27 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: playing on Sunday for a lack of activity. There are 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: a lot of other things that we can talk about. 29 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: By the way, I think I look the best I 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: have looked on the studio live cam because as I 31 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: look over the shoulder of Nathaniel Finch, things have gone dark. 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm much better looking in the dark. So I think 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: for those of you that are watching, you're now listening 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: on YouTube, but you're not seeing me on YouTube, and 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: that's probably better for everybody involved. I didn't shape It's back. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was like, that wasn't a radio teas. 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: That was just to teach you have to look at me. Great, 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Oh now you're gonna look at me again. Sorry about this. 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: This is what happens when talent can see those things. 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: It is still an all you indie. Addition of the show, 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Eddie Garrison is taking the day off, just like the 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Pacers took the entire Western Conference road trip off. And 43 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: again I'm not I am probably less critical than other 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: voices I have heard on the station, but man, that 45 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: is a brutal watch right now. And last night just 46 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: continued to be further indicative of how the season has 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: gone for the Pacers. Aaron Nee Smith gets hurt in 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: the third quarter, and by that point I went to 49 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: bed when that happened. I'm like, Okay, I've seen enough. 50 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: For tonight things just got worse. I think the final 51 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: score was one thirty three ninety eight at the end 52 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: of that one last night, and I saw where Christiny 53 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: was calling the game via cell phone by the time 54 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: we got to the fourth quarter, so apparently they either 55 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: lost power down by where the announcers are in Phoenix. 56 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Leyer are radio guys by trade, even though I'm 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: more in the streaming business myself these days, every play 58 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: by play guy has at some point in time in 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: their life. And Nathaniel knows exactly where I'm going and 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: starts nodding his head. We've all called the game off 61 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: of a cell phone. Again, for those of you who 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: are watching on the stream, we have all done one 63 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: of these at some point in time because equipment has failed, 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: we call the studio and say, hey, pot up the 65 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: phone line. I'm going to start talking. And so apparently 66 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: that also works from a television standpoint as well. Yikes, 67 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I don't have any Pacers guests lined up because frankly, 68 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't think we need to rehash what's going on 69 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: and with the amount of injuries they have had and 70 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: it just starts to pile up and cascade. And whomever 71 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: coined this phrase, whether it was Dustin In writing the 72 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: story or whomever did the social media for The Indianapolis 73 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: Star in their story from last night, they used a 74 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: phrase that wasn't a thing when I was in college. 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: It probably was when Nathaniel was because you know he 76 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: went to coleadge in this millennium and I didn't. But 77 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: that would be gap year. That is what this like. 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: The Pacers should be going on walking. They should be 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I'll make it a more millennial reference. They should be 80 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: backpacking through western Europe right now. They should follow the 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: lead of Ken Adams and talk about the time they 82 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: were hiking around Mount Tibbodabo, because that would be more 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: fun and that would be far more productive than what 84 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers are going on a basketball floor right now. 85 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: They want to say, of their four games of the 86 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: Western Conference trip, the closest they got to beating anybody 87 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: was a seventeen point loss to the Nuggets. And again, 88 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I understand the reasons behind it, and it is the 89 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: ultimate of legitimate excuses. It is just and it's nobody's 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: fault you have that litany of injuries. I'm not sure 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: there's anything you can do on this subject, but it 92 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: is a difficult watch when you saw how wonderful it 93 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: was to watch the product for a good chunk of 94 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: last year, but especially in April, May and June, when 95 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers were a joy to watch. They weren't 96 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: winning ugly, they were winning beautifully. I mean, this was 97 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: how the game was played, all the pieces clicking together, 98 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: the way they shared the ball and moved the ball in. 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: Different guys would show up on different nights, and now 100 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: it's dudes, and I didn't know they're on the team. 101 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: Like the only other time that I can think of 102 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: where a Pacers roster kind of looked like us. Maybe 103 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: you could see the end of that year four years ago, 104 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: five years ago they won twenty five games. But in 105 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: terms of kind of like my prism or my experience 106 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: of watching the team, it reminds you like in the 107 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: immediacy after the brawl, when there were guys that were 108 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: signed on Monday and played thirty six minutes on Tuesday. Now, 109 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: maybe you didn't have as much of that last night, 110 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: but you know, Monte Morris is on the team, and 111 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Rominson Earl is on the team, and one of 112 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: the Martin kids is on the team, and of course 113 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: he signs and then gets sick and doesn't play in 114 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: the last game. Because that's kind of the way this 115 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: season has gone. But gap year may be the way 116 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: to describe it. And I'm not trying to panic in 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: the moment, because I was very much against those that were, hey, 118 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: you should go ahead and trade Pascal Siakam. Now no, no, no, 119 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: You've got good pieces here, don't blow it up. Hold 120 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: the ford until Tyreese gets back in twenty six, twenty seven, 121 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: And now we're what twelve games in because the Pacers 122 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: are one eleven or one and twelve at this point 123 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: Nathaniel eleven, So they say you've played twelve games. There 124 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: are seventy games left to go in the season, and 125 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: you're just like, I have to watch this seventy more times. 126 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: And again I almost feel like I have to apologize 127 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: to my friends the Pacers for saying that, because they 128 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: did everything right to get that team to the point 129 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: where it was last year, where you're one game, you're 130 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: one injury away from planning a world championship, and now 131 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: is the best way to describe that. It's painful to 132 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: watch that last night. Thankfully, I was able to watch 133 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Purdue Alabama before that, and that was the opposite. Now, 134 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: I didn't get to watch the entire thing, but I 135 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: watched a good chunk of the second half. And if 136 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: Purdue had lost that game, I probably would have sold you. 137 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: You know what, it's not that important in part because 138 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: a they're so experienced and B that season is so 139 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: long that how you're playing on November the fourteenth doesn't 140 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: I still translate how you're playing on January the fourteenth, 141 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: and doesn't translate how you're playing in March fourteenth, But 142 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: most importantly for this group, how you're playing on Easter weekend, 143 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: because that's what it's about. After Purdue finally made that 144 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: final four two years ago. Now it has become okay, 145 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: great now go in to national championship, and when you 146 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: have guys that have been there forever as Trey Kaufman, 147 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: renn As, Braden Smith, as Fletcher Lawyer, it's almost champions 148 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: for bus And I hate feeling that way, but that's 149 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: kind of what it is for Purdue, which is why 150 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: if they had lost that game, I said, well, all right, 151 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: maybe there's some things that are concerning, but the fact 152 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: in the fashion in which they won that game, after 153 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: seeing a seven point lead e appor eight, scoring the 154 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: last seven points of the game, find a way to 155 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: get it done, and to do so in something you 156 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: see unseemingly a fewer and fewer basis, And that is 157 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: a true road environment, you know. For as great as 158 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: the Indiana win was, a marquette, wasn't a true old environment. 159 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: This was not a game in an NBA arena. This 160 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: was not a made for television thing. This was we're 161 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: going to play each other and a home at home 162 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: because we know you're good and we know we're good, 163 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: and we want to have this showcase game to get 164 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: us ready for a national championship game, for a final four, 165 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: for an Elite eight to Sweet sixteen. That's what sort 166 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: of game that was, except it wasn't a neutral environment 167 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: like an NCAA tournament game would be. That was like 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: a conference. It was like a Big ten game that 169 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: Purdue played for their third game of the season and 170 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: went out and won. And Braiden Smith every time he 171 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: takes the ball inside, You're like, and again, I covered 172 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: Braiden as a high school junior and senior so and that, 173 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: which is now four years ago, but still I saw 174 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: more of him than most did before he got to Purdue. 175 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: And you just go, how is that that dude gonna 176 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: finish this? I mean, you see him driving in and 177 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: you're like, that guy's a foot bigger than he is. 178 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: How is he Where does he find the passing angle? 179 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: How is he gonna make that play happen? Well, from 180 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: a jump shot standpoint, he didn't. He was seven of nineteen, 181 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: but he was five to ten from three, was ten 182 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: of twelve in the free throw line. He had twenty 183 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: nine points. Maybe the most jaw dropping stat of the 184 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: game is the fact that Braden Smith had seven rebounds 185 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: in last night's game. I mean, it can be a 186 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: big three. It was really kind of a big two 187 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: last night with key contributions from others, like the two 188 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: things that stuck with me about Purdue's win last night 189 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: was again the way they closed the game, because it 190 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: was about to go in the opposite direction when eighty 191 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: to seventy three became eighty to eighty late in that contest, 192 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: and we had the long replay review for a potential 193 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: shot clock Violey which was which was the correct call? 194 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: He missed it by like a tenth of a second. 195 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: By the way, I realized, the money in Alabama goes 196 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: to the football team, but hey, if you could go 197 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: ahead and invest in the backboards that have the lights 198 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: on him and not just the shot clock behind it, 199 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: that'd be kind of great. We can get to play 200 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: in a little bit quicker if you spend this little 201 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: bit of money on the basketball facility and not everything 202 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: on the football team. Thank you very much. But Smith 203 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: was great, Kaufman Ren was great, Kluff did what you 204 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: needed him to do. I thought Jacobson and Limited minutes 205 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: had some big buckets late. But one of the things 206 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: that you would hear about, and maybe if not on 207 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: the radio, maybe this was in my mind because when 208 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: I left here yesterday. I am fortunate enough to be 209 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: on the board of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, 210 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: and so when I left here yesterday drove straight to Newcastle. 211 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: I got to hang out in the museum, the boardroom, 212 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: et cetera for like three hours. Not a bad gig 213 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: that I get to have. I shouldn't complain about working 214 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: like Friday, Saturdays and Sundays when that's part of the 215 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: gig that I do. But when I'm there, you know 216 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: what I tried to do. It's not say much. You 217 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: know why. The old basketball coaches will say a lot, 218 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: and I can listen and learn some things from them. 219 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: Like one of the things that strikes me when I'm 220 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: on a board meeting, I'm pretty sure I'm the worst 221 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: basketball playing this group of fifty or sixty people around me, 222 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: because a lot of them were coaches, they were pretty 223 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: good players at one point in time as well. So 224 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: I'm kind of listening. And one of the things that 225 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: I hear the guys talk about that I was hanging 226 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: out with yesterday was just how big and how physical 227 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: this Alabama team was talking about, like the Alabama Saint 228 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: John's game over the course of the weekend, how physical 229 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: that game was you know what Purdue did last night? 230 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you probably know the final score by now 231 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: eighty seven eighty. But of all of these superlatives that 232 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: I could give you about Purdue's win last night, And 233 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: by the way, Bobby Buckets, Bobbyridelle Perdue Radio Network will 234 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: join us at one o'clock's talk about the win. Purdue 235 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: went on the road to one of the top ten 236 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: teams in the country, a hostile environment for sure, and 237 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: they outrebounded them fifty two to twenty eight. I pause 238 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: for dramatic effect to let that sink in. Like I 239 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: was talking about the IU Indie story yesterday and I said, hey, 240 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: they shot forty five threes in a forty minute game. 241 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: Again in the Handle's eyes just popped open as soon 242 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: as I said that they outscored a team fifty one 243 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,479 Speaker 1: to ten on points off turnovers fots three six turnovers. 244 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: Certain numbers that pop off the page at you. When 245 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm usually doing a show like this, I try not 246 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: to be that guy that reads you the box score, 247 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: because you're capable of doing that. But I have it 248 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: in front of me just so I can emphasize the 249 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: numbers that catch your attention perdue outrebounded the eighth ranked 250 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: team in the country, one that is thought to be 251 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the SEC. I'm not 252 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: sure how much of a qualifier you need more than 253 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: they're the eighth ranked team in the country, but there 254 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: you go, and they outrebounded them by twenty four. They 255 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: had two guys that had double digit rebounds. Again, Trey 256 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: Kauffman ran nineteen and fifteen. Oscar Cluff didn't have a 257 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: double double in terms of points, only scored nine payd 258 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: eleven boards. He did his job. The former South Dakota 259 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: State Jack Rabbit and Braiden Smith had seven. Braiden Smith 260 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: go ahead and say it, like Charles Dutton's character in 261 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: Rudy five, one hundred pound nothing had more had three 262 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: more rebounds than any player for Alabama had in last 263 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: night's game. 264 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: You hear what Natos said. 265 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: I didn't hear it, but I have heard the inference, 266 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: so please feel free to share it with me. There 267 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: you go, Maybe why I channel that reference. So I'm 268 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: not sure how much stock to put in November college basketball, 269 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: and again not because that wasn't a quality team and 270 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: a great win. And believe me and I heard I 271 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: think it was Jimmy Dike's with Tom Harten on the 272 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: broadcast last night on a ESPN two, the word resume 273 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: win was used, and that is absolutely nine thousand percent accurate. 274 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: That was a resume win for Purdue. So like when 275 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: you're watching the boiler Makers play in late January and 276 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: February and the graphic pops up, Here's what their strength 277 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: of schedule is, here's whatever net rankings, here's the metrics 278 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: that the tournament team the committee is using, you know 279 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: these days, and it says key wins. One of the 280 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: first ones you will see is Alabama. All Right. I 281 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: still teams are so different between now and the end 282 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: of the season. I'm not trying to get too giddy 283 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: or hyped up about this. For Purdue, everything is about 284 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: positioning to be as good of a seed as you 285 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: can be to give you the most advantageous route to 286 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: get back to here, To get to Lucas Oil Stadium 287 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: and play a Final four in your backyard. Last night 288 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: was a great step, first step really in that positioning 289 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: to come back home. That's what everything is about for 290 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: this Purdue basketball team this year. So we'll talk to 291 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: Bobby Buckets about that. Coming up at one o'clock, we 292 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: will talk more college basketball on the show because in 293 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: the building we have both the Indiana Hoosiers and we 294 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: have the Butler Bulldogs. They're on Fuego tomorrow now it 295 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: is still at ninety two to seven FM. For those 296 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: of you that are not in the know, it is 297 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: still weird for me to think that Butler is going 298 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: to play an ACC team tomorrow when they are playing 299 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: at SMU Southern Methodist. The opposition for the Bulldogs tomorrow, 300 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: Mark Minner will have the call. We'll talk to Mark 301 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: coming up. In fact, in the next segment of the show. 302 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: Tonight is high school football Friday Night. For me, I 303 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: have three more of those before it's the full transition 304 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: to the basketball season. Basketball is starting to creep more 305 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: into my life from a play by play standpoint. I've 306 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: got three more Friday nights than the gridiron, and two 307 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: more of those of the outdoor variety.

The are the one o'clock game that 339 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: we have and I space on whom they are playing. 340 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: Chiefs and Broncos are the four to thirty game that 341 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: we have. So there will be an NFL football doubleheader. 342 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: You can hear on the fan and listen as you're 343 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: out doing yard work as I plan to be doing. 344 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: The honeydew list gets cleared on my Sunday off. Jake 345 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: has chimed in for a segment. Jake has is feel 346 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Good Fridays that he does each and every week, and 347 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: I know a little bit of the backstory of the 348 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: person that he is going to be talking to. Her 349 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: name is Addie Haberthy and she is a ron Kyllie Royal. 350 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: She has headed to play volleyball at Xavier and she 351 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: tore her acl in August right before the season started. 352 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: And Ron Colly, who was probably the best team overall 353 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: in the State last year, won three A won three 354 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: A again, probably weren't his dominant, but still three A 355 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: state champs. A big part of that is that you 356 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: just had a Division one player, which Ron Colley has 357 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: multiple on that team, but he just lost one of 358 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: your best players right before the season started. Well, Addie 359 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: was able to serve the final point of the season 360 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: at Gambridge last Saturday in their championship victory against Bishop Dwinger, 361 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: And there's great video of this. There was a very 362 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: kind of ginger dogpile at the end of that point. 363 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: Basically like a teammate almost like dropped and rolled her 364 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: to like steer her into the dogpile to not do 365 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: any further damage to that knee of which he had 366 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: surgery three months ago. But she was on the court 367 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: for one point the entire season, and she's gonna talk 368 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: to Jake about that coming up. So Jake does make 369 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: an appearance in the program coming up a little bit 370 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: after that. Yesterday on the show, I hope you enjoyed it. 371 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: We talked to both coaches of the Monon Bell Classic. 372 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: That's what I've been gearing up for all week long. 373 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: Monon Bell won thirty one Wabash versus De Pauw tomorrow 374 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: one o'clock on the IIC Sports Network. If you're going 375 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: to be at the game, come up say hello. You know, 376 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: I'll let you a little bit behind the curtain here. Normally, 377 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: what I'm doing like a high school football game, and 378 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: they're about two hours out high school basketball, maybe hour 379 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: and a half hour, fifteen down. Knowing the flow of 380 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: humanity around the Wabash Collbage campus, the same thing holds true. 381 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: And the game is in Greencastle at Blackstock Stadium, Like 382 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: I need to get there a little bit sooner to 383 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: kind of work my way around people. So I'll be 384 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: in Crawfordsville from like ten am on tomorrow. So if 385 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: you're going to the game, I'll be in the press box. 386 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: I'll be kind of hanging around the truck, hanging around 387 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: the stadium. Come find a way to come say hello. 388 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: We'll we'll talk it up. And my goodness, three years 389 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: ago for this game, there was five inches of snow 390 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: on the ground. Like six days ago there was two 391 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: inches of snow on the ground. I'm wearing my standard 392 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: eye I see lightweight hoodie and a pair of a 393 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: sweat and I feel like I'm overdressed right now, Finchy 394 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: is over here to anybody because you're a little bit 395 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: young for American Pie. But my guess is there been 396 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: just a few last name nickname references to you from 397 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: the great character in American Pie over the years. Correct. 398 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the guy walking just behind us right there. 399 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 3: BK calls me out all the time. 400 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, say away from the Vicus. Okay, So Fishy as 401 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: all going first room for this point in time. Forward 402 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: tells me I had to do it about facing home 403 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: and put like shorts and sandals on today it is 404 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: it is that level of day and tomorrow the temperature 405 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: is going to be seventy. You know, I've tried to 406 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: like dress for this game, like it's almost like a 407 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: fireside jet Like it's been like blazer sweater and shirt 408 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: and tie for this game. I think the sweater is 409 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: right out. I'm worried about, you know, the just the 410 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: jacket and shirt and tie being too much given the 411 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: temperature tomorrow. A beautiful day, whether you're going to Crawfordsville 412 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: for the Bell game, whether you're going to Bloomington for 413 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: Senior Day for that amazing group down at Indiana University's 414 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: put together such back to back seasons, and again it 415 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: is it is almost weird to think of Indiana and 416 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: Wisconsin being so lopsided in favor of Indiana. That was 417 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: the case in like the glory days the late eighties 418 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: and early nineties, although for as good as those days were, 419 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: the glory days are right now for inding on a 420 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: football maybe we've got a change what we call the 421 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: Bill Balery era. They were the glory days. They've they've 422 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: been topped. That's how good the last couple of years 423 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: have been. And I'm curious if almost a lesson was 424 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: learned at Penn State because Penn State and Wisconsin are 425 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: kind of in similar boats. You know, Wisconsin has been 426 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: trending that direction for the last handful of years, and 427 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: it certainly has the feel that there's going to be 428 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: an administration change at Wisconsin. At the end of the season, 429 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: they'll say thanks no, thanks to Luke Fickle, and they'll 430 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: kind of start back over again. But that programs at 431 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: a low point that probably you got to go back 432 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: to the beginning of the Barry Alvarez days nearly nineties. 433 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: You know, Penn State was a much more dramatic fall 434 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: and resulted in James Franklin being shown the door, and 435 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: the Nitney Lyons are now, you know, zero to six 436 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: in terms of Big Ten play. Wisconsin just got their 437 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: first win. The Hoosiers brought their A game when they 438 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: had to to find the win on the road, and 439 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: again a they say defeated be they had never won 440 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: an Happy Valley before last Saturday. You kind of wondered, 441 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: as I you go to school on that performance. Wisconsin 442 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: defensively is pretty good. Offensively they're not. But can Indiana 443 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: save some of the late game dramatics from a week ago? 444 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: And then once you do that, knowing that again, if 445 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: you do things right these last couple of weeks, you're 446 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: not playing a home game again because you're not playing 447 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: in the opening round of the College Football Playoff. You're 448 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: going straight to the bowl round. You're going straight to 449 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve and January first after you play Ohio 450 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: State again at Lucas Oil Stadium. So if your last 451 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: game of the season at home and you're the better 452 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: at team, can you do something that Wisconsin has had 453 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: a habit of doing to you, and that's running it up? 454 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: Are we looking at that scenario after last week? You're 455 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: probably saying you, oh, let's just win the game and 456 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: not worry about that. But sixty two ten and eighty 457 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: three twenty just just a couple of reminders of the 458 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: not too distant past between Indiana and Wisconsin. Just some 459 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: food for thought going into that game. The weather's going 460 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: to be great, the beatdown might be as well. Three one, seven, nine, 461 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: ten seventy is the phone number that's voice or text. 462 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: If you know the bat phone there, Free to hit 463 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: me up on that. We can chat. No big deal, 464 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: Mark Minner. He has as big of a of a 465 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: of a love for sweater vest as I do. I'm 466 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: not sure you can rock one on a warm day 467 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: in Dables. We'll find out. Watch talks some Butler basketball 468 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: with him too. It's Greg Reigstraw filling in for j 469 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: Querry back in a moment ninety three to five, seven 470 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: to five of the Fan. 471 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 4: Query in company on ninety three to five and one 472 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 4: oh seven five the Fan You Know. 473 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: Yesterday on the show, we had Wabash College head coach 474 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: Jake Gilbert. We had Depaw head coach Rt Deats, and 475 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: we played their schools fight songs as we led them 476 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: in the segment that is not the Butler War song, 477 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: just to make sure that I'm sure Blue four loves 478 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: it and digs the song, and I'm sure social media 479 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: has done something with the Baja Men that is not 480 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: the Butler Fight song. Just wanted to make sure we 481 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: specified that.

As 505 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: of now, what have you learned about the Bulldog so far? 506 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it really does take up. The first 507 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 6: three games, they took care of business, each of those 508 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 6: by thirty or more points. And so you look at 509 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 6: what this rendition of the Bulldog's roster is and what 510 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 6: you hear from that mound of this summer. It's a 511 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 6: deeper team, a more athletic team, team that likes being 512 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 6: around each other, playing together. You've got a mix of 513 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 6: top twenty five freshman class with some key transfers. We've 514 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 6: got a few key returners, so it's a balanced group 515 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 6: and coaching staff with a lot of continuity. I think 516 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 6: everybody was really excited about what this team could do 517 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 6: this summer, and so far to three games, we've seen 518 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 6: those different elements. It's been deep in the sense that 519 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 6: you've got essentially eleven guys averaging twelve or more minutes. 520 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 6: It's been athletic full display. Rebounding margin has been incredible 521 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 6: through the first three games. But again, you're playing at 522 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 6: home and you're playing against teams that you should be 523 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 6: in those games. Michael Ajai's been as advertised, three double 524 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 6: doubles through his first three games. Finley Bizjack averaging almost 525 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 6: fifteen points, had five first half threes against Chicago State, 526 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 6: and this freshman class has got a lot of play 527 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 6: with those margins getting a little bit wider in those games. 528 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 6: So a lot of good things to be excited about 529 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 6: to the first few games. 530 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: And now you go on the road. 531 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 6: To SMU, an acc opponent, and that's your first true 532 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 6: road test. They've played all these games at Hinklefield House, 533 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 6: including the exhibitions, and then you go out to the 534 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 6: Greenbrier the following week with South Carolina and Virginia. 535 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 5: So next three come quickly. 536 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm a little partial to the guys that are 537 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: from here because I I have covered them as a 538 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: high school player, or in Jalen Jackson's case, as both 539 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: a high school and a college player, and he put 540 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: up good numbers at U, s put up great numbers 541 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: at Purdue Fort Wayne, and I know from a physicality standpoint. 542 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: I think he's got that physicality to be able to 543 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: play at a Big East level as well. Early returns 544 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: on what sort of player he's going to be for 545 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: the Bulldogs all season long. 546 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 6: I think people are incredibly excited. You mentioned Jalen Jackson's sisters, 547 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 6: by the way, play for Balin women's basketball team as well. 548 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 6: In Jalen who averaged you know, nineteen points last year 549 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 6: perdue Fort Wayne, he's got that. You talked about, a 550 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 6: physicality that size, the experience of veteran point guard for 551 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,719 Speaker 6: the Bulldogs. He's been battling a little bit of an 552 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 6: ankle right now, but when he's been on the floor, 553 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 6: you can tell the impact that he makes. He certainly 554 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 6: makes his teammates better. He can score in so many 555 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 6: different ways, and I think that's something that last year. 556 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 6: You look back at last year's Bulldog team and they 557 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 6: were missing in Jalen Jackson. It allows Finley Bizjack to 558 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 6: a little bit more comfort Stink route, you know, you're 559 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 6: talking about another local kids Stink here from Lawrence North 560 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 6: as a freshman point guard to be able to learn 561 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 6: from work with support off the bench. Jalen Jackson's a 562 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 6: big piece so him being healthy, him being able to 563 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 6: be out there on the floor is going is certainly 564 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 6: a big catalyst. It was one of the first pickups 565 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 6: the Bulldogs got in the portal. Actually we were out 566 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 6: in Las Vegas as part of the crowd last year. 567 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 6: So a big piece, big impact this summer. And certainly 568 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 6: somebody that you know has already proven himself at the 569 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 6: Division one level now trying to bring his talents down 570 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 6: to Indianapolis and si ie thinklefield House. 571 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: And again my guess would be I would have called 572 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: about forty of Stink Robinson's games at Lawrence North over 573 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: the last four seasons, and feel free to use a 574 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: variation of this, because this I was developing during the season. 575 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: It happened during the course of the season, and I 576 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: would always say, listen, if you're the leading score in 577 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: the history of Lawrence North High School and your high 578 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: school includes Mike Conley junior Greg god montrosse, you can 579 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: really play again. I know it's early. I'm so happy 580 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: that he is getting a role immediately. What does his 581 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: role need to be for this team to be successful 582 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: this year? 583 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 6: Mark, Well, he's of the very talented freshman He's been 584 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 6: called on and He's going to be called on in 585 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 6: a very big way. He is backing up Jalen Jackson 586 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 6: off the bench at that point guard spot, and has 587 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 6: mentioned if Jalen's a little bit hampered by that ankle injury, 588 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 6: he's going to be thrust even more into a spotlight. Offensively, 589 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 6: being able to run the offense, He's been able to 590 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 6: knock down shots. He's a capable offensive player. Were defensively 591 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 6: you knew he was capable. It has been so fun 592 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 6: to watch him. He is so scrappy, he is so pesky, 593 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 6: He stays low, he is able to create havoc on 594 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 6: ball pressure and his intensity that he brings not only 595 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 6: in practice into the game. The immediate boost you talk 596 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 6: about obviously his impact. 597 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 5: Leading score Lawrence North. 598 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 6: I mean, you've said it all there, but how does 599 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 6: he translate quickly into the college game. His work ethic 600 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 6: is on match coaching staff absolutely loves him, and so 601 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 6: I'm excited to see but he will have a big 602 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 6: role for this Butler Bulldogs team. And you know, I 603 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 6: think the other thing is he's a guy that at 604 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 6: the end of the day, what you're looking for is 605 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 6: somebody when they step out of that floor every time 606 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 6: they bring it with one hundred and ten percent. 607 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't SMU what sort of challenged the Mustangs present 608 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: tomorrow afternoon? 609 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 5: Really good test. 610 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 6: This is a home and home, the repeat of the 611 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 6: home and home Butler got the victory last year over SMU. 612 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 6: Andy Enfield coaching that Mustang squad. This is a really 613 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 6: talking about talented freshman classes, the top five freshman class 614 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 6: for SMU. But they bring back some talented players. Boopy 615 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 6: Miller is the player to watch for them. Twenty one 616 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 6: points per game. You got Boopye, you get Finley, Bizjack, 617 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 6: you got great names in the backcourt. In tomorrow's matchup 618 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 6: in Dallas. But this is a team that also leads 619 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 6: the country right now in free throws made per game. Now, 620 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 6: again everything's early, but you start to see some trends. 621 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 5: These are two teams in. 622 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 6: Butler and SMU that have had really fast and in 623 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 6: top twenty offensive possession tempo. But this team is going 624 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 6: to get to the line, and so if you're Butler, 625 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 6: you've got to be able to defend without fouling. They're 626 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 6: going to get to the line. I said, twenty seven 627 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 6: makes per game that leads the country. They do have 628 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 6: some veteran players. They brought in a transfer from Jacksonville 629 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 6: State who was one of the leading scorers last season 630 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 6: in all of college basketball. And these really for both 631 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 6: these two teams is their first test of the year. 632 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 6: SMU did get a good win over Murray State, which 633 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 6: is a top one fifty team and always a really 634 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 6: good college basketball program for sure, But in terms of 635 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 6: high major opponents, we'll see what these two teams have 636 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 6: in store. For Butler, it's you know, can you continue 637 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 6: to do more of the same? Can you continue to 638 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 6: have balance? Can Michael Ajaani continue to impact the game, 639 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 6: continue to reach bound at at the rate that you've 640 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 6: been rebounding? Obviously not you know, can I necessarily expect 641 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 6: twenty plus twenty margins throughout the season? But can you 642 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 6: be aggressive on the glass? And again, can you can 643 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 6: you limit the fouls in this game? 644 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 5: Because that is what they are looking to do. 645 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 6: They're not looking to shoot the three as much, They're 646 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 6: looking to drive it into the lane. 647 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: Not that not that your broadcast is weather dependents being 648 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: endorsed tomorrow, but what is the projected high temperature in 649 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex tomorrow afternoon? 650 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 5: Inside? 651 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 6: I'm not sure what it's going to be outside yet 652 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 6: inside I expect to ball me seventy two or something 653 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 6: like that. All right, so I will be uh, yeah, go, 654 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 6: I was gonna say, here's my thing. 655 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: You know where this is, you know where this is going. 656 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: I stick with the gimmick every time we talk. So 657 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: sweater vest or no tomorrow. 658 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 6: Afternoon, absolutely absolutely the day end and why I'll be there. 659 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 6: And now, Greg, I did hear you so you got 660 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 6: Mona on bell tomorrow and you were talking about sledter 661 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 6: non slatter. 662 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 5: I caught that before. Yeah, just mix it a vest 663 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 5: for yourself. 664 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: That's well, that's what it's I have normally gone full 665 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: length because frankly, at the Paul we have been at 666 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: we're outdoors. Now we're covered, but we're outdoors, and while 667 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 1: bash we have our own booth. So I'm thinking about 668 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: going sleeveless vest and then just kind of ditching the 669 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: jacket when I'm off camera. This is this is the 670 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: sort of things that once I'm prep for the game, 671 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: These are the things that go through my mind.

There was a point 704 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: where they were just streaming. 705 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 706 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: It was Frankly a previous athletic partner of Butler. That 707 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: is no longer the case. I let us manyks in 708 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: that building. No, hey, you gotta fix this and the 709 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: Bulldogs for the next several games.

Back with bourn a moment ninety 720 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 1: three to five, one oh seven five The fan. 721 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 4: Query in company on ninety three five and one oh 722 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 4: seven five. 723 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: The fan just getting warmed up on this Friday afternoon. 724 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: Greg Rakestraw in for Jake Query again. He is going 725 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: to Austria, not like Kangaroos and Foster's like Hill's relyve 726 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: with the sound of music, Austria. That one is where 727 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: he is at. He and Shannon enjoying a little downtime. 728 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: He'll be back as of Wednesday. You get me filling 729 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: in today, You get Derek filling in on Monday. I 730 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: am back on Tuesday. J qub back on Wednesday, and 731 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: for that, I'm sure there'll be much rejoicing in his 732 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: Query and company. Neither the Query nor the company or 733 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: here today, because I assume that's Eddie's, you know, he's 734 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: the company. At this point, Eddie was briefly the producer 735 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: of Soccer Saturday, so it referred to him as Gotta 736 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: Senio as if it like was his brilliant Brazilian name. 737 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: If you're a soccer nerd, you know that Vincent Company 738 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: Company with a K was one of the better players 739 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: of his generation. I need to get Eddie one of 740 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: his football shirts. That way he can just be the 741 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: company when he's sitting here next to Jake Query. We 742 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: just had Mark Manner on the show again. You can 743 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 1: catch Butler and SMU tomorrow on ninety two seven FM Fuego. Locally, 744 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: you can watch the game on Wish TV, as it's 745 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: going to be on the CW most games, especially after 746 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 1: we get kind of into December and into January, et cetera. 747 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: You can catch on ninety three to five and one 748 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 1: oh seven to five. The fan kind of ran short 749 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: of my time with Mark, but it's it's a real 750 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: simple equation. Okay, either you make the NCAA tournament or 751 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: you don't. In other words, that's the line of demarcation 752 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: for what makes a good season is getting this program 753 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: back to being an at large representative or winning the 754 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: Nobody's against winning the Big East Tournament or winning the 755 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: Big East. Now, do I think Butler is talent through that? 756 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: Probably not. Can they be an NCAA tournament team? I 757 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 1: think they can, But again, what how the game is 758 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: played differently now? And we are now in year doing 759 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: the math here. This is this pause is me counting 760 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: fingers and toes and flipping the role of decks in 761 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: my head. This is the thirteenth year that Butler has 762 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: been in the Big East. Okay, so playing a lot 763 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: of major college competition should not be new from a 764 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: Butler fans standpoint. But frankly, what this does is this 765 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: kind of shows you how the math has changed in 766 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 1: terms of how a team schedule. Much like Indiana playing 767 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: Marquette on Sunday, Bridude going to Alabama and playing last night, 768 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: that the next three games for Butler are against ACC 769 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: SEC and ACC competition. Then you have a couple of 770 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: guarantee games. I'm not sure what the Boise State game 771 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: is if that's again a guarantee game meeting you're paying 772 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: somebody to come play you and not returning the date. 773 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 1: But you've got Boise State from the Mountain West, will 774 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: be in the PAC twelve next year or some facsimile 775 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: of the PAC twelve. Then you get to Big East play. 776 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: Then you play a Big ten team in Northwestern as 777 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: part of the Indie Classic, and you've got one more 778 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: by game, non conference game than's something but Big East games, 779 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: in other words, the three game build up to get 780 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 1: to this point. There is only a couple of games 781 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: like that left for Butler. The majority of their games 782 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: will be against teams that are NCAA tournament teams or 783 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: trying to get their way and have a legitimate shot 784 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: of being NCAA tournament teams. So Butler has looked great. 785 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: They've won the games by thirty, thirty two and thirty two. 786 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: The fewest points they have scored is eighty eight. We're 787 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,479 Speaker 1: gonna learn a lot more tomorrow. That continues against South 788 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 1: Carolina on Friday. That continues against Virginia on Sunday. And yes, 789 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: I am fortunate to have the call of the game 790 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: against Right State coming up on November twenty eighth on 791 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: ESPN Plus. All Right, we will get back to this 792 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:41,240 Speaker 1: at some point and time. But again, it's it's weird 793 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: too have you have it every year, but especially when 794 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: the Colts have been deemed to be the not ready 795 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: for primetime players. You're used to this being kind of 796 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: like the factory. You know, every Sunday the Colts are 797 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: playing one o'clock, four o'clock occasionally Sunday night game. Casion 798 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: win a night game, but for the first time so 799 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 1: far this year, it is a Sunday without the Indianapolis Colts. 800 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: Here are the games that matters. Bucks Bills one o'clock, 801 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: Texans Titans matters kinda sorta because it's two divisional foes. Yes, 802 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: the Texans beat the Jaguars, which was very much a 803 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: solid for the Indianapolis Colts last week, but it's still 804 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: Davis Mills that is the starting quarterback and not CJ. Stroud. 805 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: So the Texans under this week three and a half 806 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: games back of the Colts with two games left to 807 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: play against the Colts, so again it matters. Bengals Steelers 808 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: matters because again the Steelers have beaten the Colts, so 809 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: having that tiebreaker against the team, the Steelers haven't exactly 810 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: backed up. They're winning against the Colts with how they 811 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 1: played the following week. Chargers Jaguars definitively matters for the Colts, 812 00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 1: that too is a one o'clock game, and maybe Ravens 813 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: Browns a certain degree, but obviously Chiefs Broncos is a 814 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: big deal given that's whom the Colts play when they 815 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: come back, and again given the fact that if the 816 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: Broncos win, they're back to being a half game up 817 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: on the Colts, as the Patriots now are with what 818 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: they did with their win a night to go against 819 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: the Jets twenty seven to fourteen. So plenty of football 820 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: to watch on Sunday for Colts fans, plenty of college 821 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: football to digest for fans of any kind here in 822 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: the state tomorrow, and we'll we talked a lot about 823 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: the yesterday. It was kind of football day today seemingly 824 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: his basketball day. We'll double back to football coming up 825 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: a little bit later on the program. We owe you 826 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: a quick time out when we come back, more about 827 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,240 Speaker 1: Purdues win in Tuscaloosa.

Now, Hello, 844 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: my friend. How are you, hey, Greg? 845 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 7: I'm doing well, doing especially well considering last night's result. 846 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, I know that these trips kind of 847 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: become routine for you. You know, you fly in afternoon before 848 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: or night before, play the game, flyout, and you're back 849 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: in West Lafayette. The reason I bring that up is 850 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: that when you're around Tuscaloosa for about twenty four to 851 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 1: thirty six hours, were people really talking about this basketball 852 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: game or were they talking about the Sooners coming to 853 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: town on Saturday? 854 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was definitely. 855 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,239 Speaker 7: I'm sure, you know, you kind of live in your 856 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 7: own little bubble at the hotel and. 857 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 2: You don't get out too much, but. 858 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, I presume the fans were certainly astatic about the 859 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 7: Boilers coming to town. And you know, a top ten clash, 860 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 7: But we jokingly said after we were able to come 861 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 7: out of their victorious that I'm sure their fans were disappointed, 862 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 7: but if the football game goes their way Saturday, I'm 863 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,720 Speaker 7: sure they'll be much more excited about that than maybe 864 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 7: even the loss in basketball. 865 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: Well, I talk about kind of the you know, the 866 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: traveling on to Rodge, the party and you all kind 867 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,720 Speaker 1: of live on the same schedule when you're on the road. 868 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 1: Has it struck he yet, even so early in the season, 869 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: this is the last time you get to do that 870 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: with people like Braden Smith, Trey Kaufman Run and Fletcher Lawyer. 871 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 2: Man. 872 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, it is starting to hit me a little bit. 873 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 7: It's obviously got a long season to go, but it. 874 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 2: Is pretty wild. It feels like yesterday, honestly. 875 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 7: To me that we flew out to Portland to play 876 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 7: in the PK eighty five tournament to go against you 877 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 7: and Zach again, Duke and all those teams in Braden 878 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 7: Smith and Fletcher. Where were these new freshman guards on 879 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 7: the scene. And we obviously kind of took the country 880 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 7: by storm there and surprised some people. With Zach Edie 881 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 7: leading the way as a junior and winning that tournament 882 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 7: and man, those freshman guards that just showed out and 883 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 7: that experience, and I can't believe it's already four years 884 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 7: later and these guys are seniors. 885 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 2: It's pretty wild to think how quick it goes. 886 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: Well, again, you're spoiled by what you have seen from them. 887 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,320 Speaker 1: Brayden and Fletcher remember of the course of four years 888 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,320 Speaker 1: because of those in front of them, and kind of 889 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: took Treyman to get going. But now he is as 890 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: dominant of a force as there is in terms of 891 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 1: college basketball. Is it almost tougher to impress you because 892 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: you're so used to seeing great things from especially two 893 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: of those three? 894 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, I mean Trek coffin Rend Yeah, I 895 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 7: forgot to mention him. He of course was on that 896 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 7: team that went out to Portland as well. But his 897 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 7: career is kind of an interesting, right he. I was 898 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 7: talking with him the other day and he talked about 899 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 7: kind of how unique it is for him and how 900 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 7: kind of relatable he can be to all the different 901 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 7: guys on the team as a senior captain and leader, 902 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 7: because he really has played every role you can play 903 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 7: within a team. 904 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 2: Right. You go from being someone who wasn't. 905 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 7: Going to be in the rotation as a true freshman, 906 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 7: So you decide the red shirt, You sit the season out, 907 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 7: you work on your game, you work on your body, 908 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 7: try to make improvements, and then the next year you're 909 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 7: in that backup role, backing. 910 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: Up a star. 911 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 7: So you play kind of the five to ten minutes 912 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 7: a game that are available. Maybe a little bit more 913 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 7: if a certain guy gets in fall trouble ahead of you, 914 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 7: but for the most part you're. 915 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 2: Kind of playing that limited role. 916 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 7: And then as a sophomore, now he's starting, but he's 917 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 7: not a focal point in that starting lineup, playing a role, 918 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden last year, yeah, he 919 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 7: becomes a focal point, becomes that main force in the interior, 920 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 7: and then parlaid that into his senior year. And yeah, 921 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 7: we sure we missed him a lot those first couple 922 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:07,800 Speaker 7: of games. 923 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 2: His presence, you know, both on both ends of the floor, 924 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: especially on the glass. 925 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 7: As we saw last night he comes out and drops 926 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 7: fifteen rebounds in his first game action regular season action 927 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 7: of the season. Obviously provides that kind of secondary creator. 928 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 7: When he plays that two man game as Braden Smith, 929 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 7: he gets those pocket passes and he. 930 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 2: Can facilitate he can score, and then. 931 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 7: Just having that bona fide presence on the block that 932 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 7: obviously can score on the interior against pretty much anybody 933 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 7: in the country if he's. 934 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 2: Won on left one on one. 935 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 7: But he's not a selfish GUYI there's very similar to 936 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 7: Zachiee before him. If you're gonna put two guys on him, 937 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 7: he's gonna make the extra pass and punish you for 938 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 7: doing so. So yeah, it was great to have him back. 939 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 7: His play in the first half was remarkable. Just the 940 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 7: intensity and fire he came out with. I felt like 941 00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 7: a lot of us were just wanting to see this 942 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 7: team play with a little bit more energy and intensity 943 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,399 Speaker 7: that we'd seen early in the season, and we really 944 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 7: brought the fight and I thought he was a big 945 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 7: piece of that. 946 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,359 Speaker 1: Last night, Body Riddell again Purdue Radio joining us here, 947 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: Greg Reikstrap filling in for j Query Bobby's appearance on 948 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: the Java House Peel and Poor guest line here on 949 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: ninety three to five and one oh seven five the 950 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: fan Listen. I know your main concern is is what 951 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 1: these guys are doing in black and gold, But spinning 952 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: it forward, listen, I think Braden Smiss an NBA guard. 953 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,240 Speaker 1: I think we kind of knowed that by now Fletcher 954 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: might be more of of NBA G League, maybe Europe. 955 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 1: How do you see Trey's skill set and size translating 956 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 1: at the NBA level because now it's more of a 957 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,239 Speaker 1: space and pace game and kind of open post. Does 958 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,760 Speaker 1: that actually help him in terms of being an NBA player? 959 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: What do you think next level looks like for Trey 960 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: Kaufman rehn. 961 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 2: Man. That's a fascinating question, isn't it. 962 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 7: It's you're right, his skill set is not something that 963 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 7: necessarily on paper looks like it's going to translate super 964 00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 7: well to the NBA, just based on the style of 965 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 7: play the NBA plays with how much it prioritizes, you know, 966 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,240 Speaker 7: shooting threes and finishing at the rim. You know, Trey's 967 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 7: kind of bread and butter is more of that mid 968 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 7: range game. I think somebody that he kind of reminds 969 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 7: me of as far as a player comp is a 970 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 7: guy Drew Timmy, who played at Gonzaga and was extremely 971 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 7: successful as a college player there as we all remember, 972 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 7: and has kind of been able to have I think 973 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 7: a cup of coffee here or there in the NBA 974 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 7: I don't believe he's currently on an active roster, but 975 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 7: it's kind of in the mix and that kind of 976 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 7: G League sure situation, and that's kind of where I 977 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 7: see Trey projecting out kind of in that same sort 978 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,879 Speaker 7: of Hey, if he can get on the right team 979 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 7: in the right spot, if his skill set is what 980 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 7: they're lacking, you know, maybe there's a chance he can, 981 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 7: you know, find a niche on that team and. 982 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 2: Provide what he does so well. 983 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 7: But there's also a chance that if he doesn't get 984 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 7: in the right situation with the right team, that maybe, 985 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 7: you know, he's kind of one of those tweeners where 986 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 7: he just doesn't white get that opportunity that I think 987 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,240 Speaker 7: we all would love to see him. I mean, it's 988 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 7: I think he's such a talented player. I mean, his 989 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 7: finishing ability is you know, second to none when it 990 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 7: comes to, you know, finishing with those floaters. I Mean, 991 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 7: we all know how difficult that shot is, and. 992 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 2: He makes it look easy. 993 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 7: But you know, he's obviously not the greatest athlete in 994 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 7: the world. You know, as far as the set, if 995 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 7: he was going to try to play center at the 996 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 7: next level, it would have to be kind of that 997 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 7: small ball right center type player, and a guy like 998 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 7: Draymond Green has been able to play that small ball 999 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 7: center super effectively at times throughout his career. You know, 1000 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 7: whether Trey can be that level of elite impact defender 1001 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 7: that Draymond is is certainly something that Trey would have 1002 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 7: to try to develop into. 1003 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 2: I think Trey is a better defender than he gets 1004 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 2: credit for. 1005 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 7: But you know, Draymond, of course is one of the 1006 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 7: best defenders of all time at the NBA level, So 1007 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 7: it'll it'll be interesting. You know, he might have to 1008 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,839 Speaker 7: try to reinvent himself in some certain ways to try 1009 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 7: to fit in at the NBA level, but I hope 1010 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 7: it happens. 1011 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see. I certainly think. 1012 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 7: I'll get an opportunity in the NBA Summer League to 1013 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 7: try to prove themself. 1014 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 1: All right, So when you have a big three that 1015 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 1: is back in this era of change, when you know 1016 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 1: your top three guys are the same top three guys 1017 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 1: you had last year, and they're so good and so experienced, 1018 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 1: sense of reason why Purdue is the number one or 1019 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: number two team in the country. Obviously most of the 1020 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: pieces around them in the rotation now have changed and 1021 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: I realize how early it is in the season. How 1022 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: is this team different than it was a year ago? 1023 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,359 Speaker 1: Better or worse? How do you think this is a 1024 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 1: different team than the one that was pretty good last 1025 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: year too? 1026 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 2: Right, it's definitely a different dynamic. 1027 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,240 Speaker 7: You're right, there's you know, the big three are back, 1028 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 7: so the offense is going to run through those guys 1029 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 7: just like it ran through them last year. And I 1030 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 7: think most people would acknowledge that the offense for us 1031 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,720 Speaker 7: last year was not an issue. 1032 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:52,359 Speaker 2: For the most part. 1033 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 7: We had I think offensive efficiency wise. I think we 1034 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 7: were seventh in the country for ken palm at the 1035 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 7: end of the season, so clearly was a strength. But 1036 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 7: even that, you know, there's still room for improvement. Right, 1037 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 7: there's six spots you can move up to try to 1038 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 7: get to the number one overall, and I know PJ. 1039 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 7: Thompson and coach Painter and the rest of the offensive 1040 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 7: staff definitely is striving for that number one spot and 1041 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,800 Speaker 7: wants to get as efficient as possible. And there's definitely 1042 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 7: some areas with some of the additions on this year's 1043 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 7: team where I think we can make those improvements. I 1044 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 7: think Oscar Cloff and Trekoff and Ren in particular. 1045 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 2: On the offensive glass. 1046 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 7: Last night really showed that's an area where just because 1047 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 7: we missed that first shot, it doesn't mean we're want 1048 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 7: to done like we were a lot of times last year. 1049 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 7: We have an ability to crush teams on the offensive glass, 1050 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 7: get those second chance opportunities and capitalize on those. That's 1051 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 7: an area with Oscar Cloff at the center spot such 1052 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 7: a cold rebounder and own right, and then trek k 1053 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 7: Hoffman ren now with the power forward spot a lot 1054 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 7: of times, him being guarded now maybe by more traditional 1055 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,319 Speaker 7: power forwards an area where and then physically is maybe 1056 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 7: as overmatch as he was a lot of times going 1057 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 7: against other teams centers allow him to get on the 1058 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 7: offensive glass even more. And then Daniel Jacobson, even though 1059 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 7: rebounding isn't maybe necessarily his calling card, when you're seven foot. 1060 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,360 Speaker 2: Foard athletic like he is, you're just going to be 1061 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,240 Speaker 2: able to get to some balls that other guys can't. 1062 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 7: And I think he can help certainly getting on the 1063 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 7: offensive glass at times too. And his length at that 1064 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 7: backup center spot we saw it last night right. His 1065 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 7: ability to be a lob threat put some pressure in 1066 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 7: the back line of the defense gives Brad Smith a 1067 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 7: guy who can throw that ball up too, and Daniel 1068 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 7: can reach some spots that a lot of guys can 1069 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 7: and that's going to make our offense more dynamic. 1070 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,879 Speaker 2: And Jack Benner too, you. 1071 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 7: Know, he's kind of he can give you a lot 1072 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 7: of what Cam and Heide gave you last year as 1073 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,280 Speaker 7: far as that small ball four. 1074 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 2: Can step out and shoot. 1075 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 7: But you know, as good as Cam Heid he was, 1076 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 7: at times, I think his shot was inconsistent, and I 1077 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 7: think Jack Benner is kind of that more proven, legitimate 1078 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 7: long range shooter, and you know, he potentially could make 1079 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 7: us even more legitimate as far as having one more 1080 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,280 Speaker 7: knockdown shooter on the floor when he's. 1081 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,359 Speaker 2: In the game, and it can give you that different look. 1082 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 5: You know. 1083 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,280 Speaker 7: I think that's what's kind of nice for us offensively 1084 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 7: this year. We can go with the two big look 1085 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 7: and try and you know, crush you on the glass, 1086 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 7: but we can also bring Jack in and spread you 1087 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 7: out four shooters around, you know, whether that's maybe Trey 1088 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 7: or Oscar Cluff, a guy that can score down low. 1089 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 7: You provide that extra spacing with Jack and we can 1090 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 7: really beat you from the outside and that sort of 1091 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 7: alignment as well. So I love what what that group 1092 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 7: can be offensively for this year's team. And then omer Meyer, right, 1093 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,359 Speaker 7: like you saw what he did last night, how often 1094 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 7: last year when Braden Swith is out of the game, 1095 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 7: which honestly was not very much because we knew how 1096 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,759 Speaker 7: important he was to the team and he played the 1097 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 7: line share of those point guard minutes. But you know 1098 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 7: there were times where he showed fatigue and it would 1099 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 7: be nice to go to give him a breather. And 1100 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,959 Speaker 7: we saw last night omer Meyer, you give Braidon a breathe, 1101 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 7: and you don't worry as much now about when Braden's 1102 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 7: off the floor, can we generate good offense? Meyer comes in, 1103 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 7: makes three straight shots in a row, is able to 1104 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 7: find Kaufman, Renn and others for some baskets facilitating, And 1105 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 7: so the drop off at the point guard position when 1106 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 7: Braden comes off the floor can get a breather or 1107 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 7: maybe foul trouble, things of that nature. You don't anticipate 1108 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 7: being nearly as much because Omermeyer is clearly a pretty 1109 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 7: legitimate playmaker in his own right. 1110 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 1: Obviously you know this as a player and now you 1111 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: see it as an analyst again, last night was great. 1112 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 1: Last night was a wonderful win, and we still got 1113 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 1: a lot of season left to go. Now, if these 1114 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,400 Speaker 1: two teams are to see each other again, it's going 1115 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 1: to be three or four months from now, I mean 1116 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 1: before that happens. So as a as a guy like 1117 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 1: Matt Painter, how do you kind of keep your team focused? 1118 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: How do you keep such a high level from November 1119 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 1: fourteenth until you hope, all the way to Easter weekend? 1120 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,879 Speaker 1: How do you possibly do that during the entire length 1121 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,399 Speaker 1: of a college bast bsketball season when frankly the expectations 1122 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,799 Speaker 1: are as high as they are for this group. 1123 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 7: Right, That's definitely a one of the challenges for the 1124 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 7: coaching staff. Certainly they I feel like they did a 1125 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 7: great job navigating that two years ago when we had 1126 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 7: Zach Edie back for his senior season, you know, coming 1127 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 7: off of the disappointment of losing in that first round 1128 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 7: the year before, all super high expectations with that whole 1129 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 7: core coming back, and they had to deal with that too, 1130 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 7: trying to make sure you didn't get ahead of yourself 1131 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 7: and try to get back to March to make amends 1132 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 7: for the loss. You had to try to go through 1133 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 7: the season, take one day at a time, and to 1134 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 7: reach your goals, and I think they're going to be 1135 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 7: you know, take that same mindset this time, whereas, yes, 1136 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 7: we want to get to March. 1137 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 2: We want to try to make. 1138 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 7: A run to get to Indianapolis and win a national championship. 1139 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 7: But to get there, we got to put ourselves in 1140 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 7: the best position possible. And to do that, you know, 1141 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 7: we have to get try to get a number one 1142 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 7: umber two seed in InSb a tournament, and each game 1143 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 7: along the way is going to be impactful for trying 1144 00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 7: to get that seeding. And hopefully, you know, that's where 1145 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 7: this team is able to kind of compartmentalize that and 1146 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 7: make it one game at a time and try to 1147 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 7: stack wins and stack resume builders. Last night was a 1148 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 7: massive resume building win that certainly could go a long 1149 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 7: way to trying to get a one seed March. And yeah, 1150 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,080 Speaker 7: that's that's going to be the challenge for this year's staff. 1151 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 7: But the fact that they've done it just as recent 1152 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 7: as two years ago, I think, and a lot of 1153 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 7: those guys on this year's team are on that team. 1154 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 7: I think the Predue culture is built to handle that sort. 1155 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 1: Of thing Bahamas after a gam against Akron that takes 1156 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: place on Sunday night. Have you kept track of like 1157 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: different countries slash how many states you have been to 1158 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 1: as part of Purdue basketball at this point in time. 1159 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 7: Well, I don't know if I have it off the 1160 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 7: top of my head by any means, but it's definitely 1161 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 7: been a massive perk as part of my involvement with 1162 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 7: Purdue basketball over the years. 1163 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 2: Definitely don't take that for granted. 1164 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 7: It's really neat to be able to go and see 1165 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 7: all the different cool basketball venues that I've gotten to 1166 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,960 Speaker 7: see from my time as a player to this period 1167 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 7: now as a color analyst with the radio. 1168 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 2: It's been really. 1169 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 7: Cool to travel to different parts of the world, different 1170 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 7: areas of the United States, and just some of the 1171 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 7: meccas of college basketball. Getting to go to the Palestra, 1172 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 7: for example, a couple of years ago was a really 1173 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 7: neat experience. And yeah, I don't take that for granted. 1174 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 7: It's always kind of just to pinch yourself type of thing. 1175 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 7: Ryan Smith, who was a player when I played, He 1176 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 7: now works for the joh Purdue Club and was on 1177 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 7: the trip last night as well, working for the John 1178 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 7: Purdue club, and him and I were talking on the 1179 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 7: plane after the game, just kind of pinching ourselves a 1180 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 7: little bit, like, man, how cool was it? 1181 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 2: Just you know, get to do what we get. 1182 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,680 Speaker 7: Do and travel team and get to be in those 1183 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 7: sorts of environments and be a part of these kind 1184 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 7: of wins. Even though we're not technically on the team 1185 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 7: or on the staff, we still kind of feel like 1186 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 7: we are in some ways when you get involved in 1187 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 7: those trips, and yeah, it's pretty special for sure. 1188 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 1: My rule of thumb is around the team playing, you 1189 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 1: can say we it's okay, you can mention that we 1190 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 1: I like that at that point in time. Finally before 1191 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: we let you go listen. This happens on a more 1192 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: regular basis now because of player movement. Memphis is the 1193 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 1: first game in the Championship down there in the Bahamas. 1194 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna play Texas Taker or Texas Taker wake Forest 1195 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: in game number two. If it's Wake Forest and if 1196 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: it's Miles Coleman on the other side, what sort of 1197 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 1: extra juice is in that game because he was on 1198 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 1: this team the last couple of years, Well. 1199 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 2: No doubt there's gonna be extra juice. If that's the case. 1200 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 7: Certainly with the guys on the floor, right, just because 1201 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 7: you have that sort of connection with him, and those 1202 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 7: guys know and so they'll be that. 1203 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:01,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be. 1204 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 7: Friendly for the most part, of course, but they'll definitely 1205 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 7: be that competition level that ramps up. 1206 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 2: The intensity level of the ramps up because. 1207 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 7: The Pruter guys won't want Miles to have one up 1208 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 7: on them, and Miles will definitely be inspired, you would think, 1209 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 7: to try to have one of his better games against 1210 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 7: the school he just departed. 1211 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 2: So that would. 1212 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 7: Definitely make for some interest in theater if that comes 1213 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 7: to fruition Golden Black School versus Golden Black School from 1214 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 7: a school colors standpoint, and Miles going against his former squad, 1215 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 7: that would be neat if it happens. Hopefully it happens 1216 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 7: because both teams win the first game, which means we'll 1217 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 7: be facing off in the championship. 1218 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 2: But yeah, that'll be interesting to see. 1219 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 7: They certainly put a pretty good foot forward the other 1220 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 7: night when they ended up losing to Michigan in overtime. 1221 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 7: But they clearly showed in that game that they can 1222 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 7: play with the best of the best in the country. 1223 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 2: Because we all know how talented. 1224 01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 7: This year's Michigan team is so interested to see Memphis 1225 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 7: and our first matchup. 1226 01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 2: They've always got athletes led. 1227 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,919 Speaker 7: By Penny Hardaway at the Helm and then Texas Tech 1228 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 7: clearly looks legit. They gave Illinois a really good battle 1229 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 7: on the road the other day, and. 1230 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 2: So whether we play Wake Forest or Texas. 1231 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 7: Tech in the second game going to get a challenge 1232 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 7: either way. 1233 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 1: Do the guys in the team call you Bobby Buckets 1234 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,479 Speaker 1: or have you aged out of that as it now 1235 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 1: Bobby or mister Riddell when they have a conversation with you. 1236 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to be hearing this ordella. 1237 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 7: The means that definitely would make me feel too old. 1238 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 7: I definitely get the Bobby Buckets still from some of 1239 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 7: the guys on the trip right now and then, so 1240 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 7: the nickname has lived. 1241 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 2: On a little bit, which is fun.

Frankly, 1280 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: have been reluctant to do so the last couple of days, 1281 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,919 Speaker 1: just because the product has been so bad. It has been. 1282 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:15,320 Speaker 1: It's it's explainable, it's understandable. It doesn't exactly make it 1283 01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 1: enjoyable or palpitable at this point. And like I said, 1284 01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 1: because they are I said this yesterday, because the Pacers 1285 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 1: are not necessarily on my beat. I don't feel like 1286 01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 1: I have to watch every game. I kind of keep 1287 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 1: track of scores, you know, I follow things on a 1288 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: regular basis. Obviously, last year in the playoffs, things were 1289 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: so good. I'm just going everybody else I am locked in, 1290 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm a fan, I'm tweeting, I'm watching, et cetera. Again, 1291 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:43,240 Speaker 1: I didn't do it being that doesn't do it have 1292 01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 1: anything having a job that has just being a fan 1293 01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 1: during the course of the regular season, and I've got 1294 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 1: so many various different things going on. Maybe I'm not 1295 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 1: watching every game, but last night I'm like, all right, 1296 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this on the show, right, I 1297 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,720 Speaker 1: had better discuss this at some point in time, And 1298 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 1: after watching last night's game, I'm like, no, no, let's 1299 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 1: try to avoid that as best we can. Almost avoiding 1300 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: it because I can talk about other things, like, in 1301 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 1: other words, would you rather me talk about the Pacers 1302 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 1: being one and eleven and not being close to beating 1303 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,160 Speaker 1: anybody on their Western road trip when you know the 1304 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 1: reason behind it. And I don't think it's getting any 1305 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 1: better anytime soon. In fact, it got worse as the 1306 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,200 Speaker 1: trip went along, and it got worse last night because 1307 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: another guy got hurt in Aaron Nee Smith. Sometimes, man, 1308 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: it is just not your year. So I can talk 1309 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 1: about that or I can talk about the Cults are 1310 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,120 Speaker 1: really good at eight and two, even on a bye 1311 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 1: we talking about the Colts being eight and two. Or 1312 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 1: I can talk about the Indiana Hoosiers, which are suddenly 1313 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,880 Speaker 1: the second best from a ranking standpoint team in college football. 1314 01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:57,840 Speaker 1: There were years you like, man, I just hope we're 1315 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,440 Speaker 1: the second best team in Indiana, and a lot of 1316 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 1: years that was in the case. Oftentimes it was fourth, 1317 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 1: and there are four Division one teams in the state. 1318 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 1: But now they're the second best team in the nation, 1319 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 1: and that might be one spot too low. You'd want 1320 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 1: to talk about that. Or we can talk about, you know, 1321 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: one of the greatest small college football games it's played 1322 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: every year in our nation, that takes place tomorrow in Crawfordsville. 1323 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 1: Or I can do what we have done for a 1324 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,560 Speaker 1: good chunk of this show and talk about the team 1325 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 1: that might be the number one team of the nation 1326 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,120 Speaker 1: in college basketball Curly rd a number two in terms 1327 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,280 Speaker 1: of Purdue. And I think it was Kevin that phrased 1328 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: it to me this way on the Morning Show when 1329 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 1: I made an appearance with those guys a couple of 1330 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:47,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and it was phrased to me, Hey, which 1331 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 1: of these things is more likely to happen? Is it 1332 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Indiana in the Big Ten Championship game? Is it the 1333 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 1: Colts in the AFC Championship Game? Is it Purdue in 1334 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 1: the Final Four? All taking place at Lucas Oil Stadium, 1335 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 1: and all taking place in the span of four months. 1336 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: And folks just take a moment to appreciate that it's possible, 1337 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 1: possible that all of those things could happen. All of 1338 01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 1: those things can happen. And so me be mooring a 1339 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: more of a glass half full than it is half 1340 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 1: empty type of person. Well, frankly, I have decided, you 1341 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 1: know what, let's talk about those good things. The bad thing. 1342 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: It's nobody's fault there, Okay, it's Myles Turner's fault. Then 1343 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 1: it's a bad thing, all right, it's not just his fault. 1344 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: And I'm only mad at Miles for how he has 1345 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: handled it since then you want to go take more money, 1346 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,200 Speaker 1: that's guaranteed, God bless you. I get that it's not 1347 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 1: just his fault, but why the pastry are so bad 1348 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: plays a part of it. But I'm almost like, hey, 1349 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: let's just kind of put that to the side for now. 1350 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the good things, because the good things 1351 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:04,000 Speaker 1: are pretty stinking good right now.

It was kind of like, uh, you know, 1374 01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,479 Speaker 1: Koy and Vance to the Bow. And Luke. You know 1375 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,880 Speaker 1: sometimes that the combination, you know, just isn't there as much. 1376 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: All Right, my guess on your game tonight is is 1377 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Decatur Central Brownsburg? I guess correctly, you did? 1378 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 2: You did? 1379 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 8: That's where I'll be at Decatur tonight. If I can 1380 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,280 Speaker 8: get in, that'll be the Uh. I know, it's a 1381 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,559 Speaker 8: it's a tough ticket, tough ticket tonight. 1382 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,040 Speaker 1: In defense of the folks to Cater Central, who I 1383 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: hold in very high regard, there was actually a limit 1384 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 1: I think on the number of tickets that Brownsburg could have, 1385 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,200 Speaker 1: but that that limit was twelve fifty. I think the 1386 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,720 Speaker 1: Decatur Central visiting side seat seven fifty, So I think 1387 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 1: twelve fifty is a fair number. 1388 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 8: It is. Yeah, And to be honest with you, I 1389 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 8: know that was a story going around. So I did, 1390 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 8: you know, talk to Justin Dixon over there Decatur and 1391 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,760 Speaker 8: you know part of this as you know, I mean, 1392 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,800 Speaker 8: Decatur's a five A school, you know, so it's not 1393 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,400 Speaker 8: a it's not typically they don't. They're not hosting six 1394 01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 8: A games because they're not a six A school. So uh, 1395 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 8: you know, they're they're doing what they can to, uh, 1396 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 8: you know, to to raise the capacity, which is twelve 1397 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,320 Speaker 8: fifty for the visitors side, and and you know, I 1398 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,800 Speaker 8: think that's just kind of the way it is. I mean, 1399 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,880 Speaker 8: they're hosting this game. You're not gonna you know, I 1400 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 8: know some people were like, well, why don't they give 1401 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 8: up this? They're not going to give up a home 1402 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 8: game at this point in the tournament. That would be ridiculous. 1403 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 8: So so yeah, it's just gonna be It's gonna be 1404 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 8: a great crowd. I mean, it's gonna be a great environment. 1405 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,680 Speaker 8: And you know, there's there's a lot of interesting storylines 1406 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,680 Speaker 8: obviously with both teams winning state last year, and I 1407 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 8: haven't seen It's been a a little wile since I've 1408 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 8: seen either team, So looking forward to covering that game tonight. 1409 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,160 Speaker 1: My general thought has been DC will be competitive, but 1410 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,640 Speaker 1: Brownsburg should win that game. Kind of same line of 1411 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:38,280 Speaker 1: thinking from you. 1412 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I think the biggest question, you know, 1413 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 8: Brownsburg to me, you know, they the way they run 1414 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 8: the ball, it's going to be I think the biggest 1415 01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 8: tough the toughest thing. I would say, as good as 1416 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 8: they are in all areas, you know, the way they've 1417 01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,640 Speaker 8: been running the ball lately, I think that's going to 1418 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,720 Speaker 8: be the biggest test for Decator's defense. And you know, 1419 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,040 Speaker 8: in high school football and every level football, if you 1420 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,639 Speaker 8: can run the ball, everything else kind of follows in line, 1421 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 8: you know, in my in my experience. So you know, 1422 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 8: I think that'll be kind of the question and Decator 1423 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 8: will we'll you know, do some things offensively to make 1424 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,679 Speaker 8: it tough for Brownsburg. But but that's to me where 1425 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,000 Speaker 8: the biggest uh you know, question mark will be. And 1426 01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,920 Speaker 8: I think that's where Brownsburg ultimately wins the game tonight. 1427 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 1: All right, of the upsets last week, which was the 1428 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 1: one that you thought was the biggest or caught your 1429 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 1: most off guard. 1430 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,160 Speaker 8: Well, I mean just the nature of the and I 1431 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,759 Speaker 8: don't know the huge upset, but the way Westfield one 1432 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 8: at the end of the game. And you know, I 1433 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 8: know we've talked before, you know, kind of thought Carmel 1434 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,599 Speaker 8: might be the team to beat in the north side 1435 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,000 Speaker 8: of the bracket, if not the whole state. The way 1436 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 8: they've been playing, you know, I kind of Carmel Brownsburg 1437 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 8: was going to be the game we'd see down the road. 1438 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,560 Speaker 8: So you know, again, you don't you don't think of 1439 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 8: Westfield as a team that's upsetting people because of what 1440 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 8: they've done the last several years, you know, Josh Miracle 1441 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 8: and Jake Gilbert there. But but that one was definitely 1442 01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 8: a score that early on caught my eye and then 1443 01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 8: you know, the way that they want it was just 1444 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 8: you know, incredible. So you know, I would say that 1445 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,960 Speaker 8: maybe was the biggest eyebrow raiser of the bunch, you know. 1446 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,759 Speaker 8: But you know, the way the way Roun Collie beat Shatar, 1447 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 8: you know, that was also a game that you know, 1448 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 8: I consider maybe a minor upset based on the way 1449 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,439 Speaker 8: the season went and the fact that Shittard beat him 1450 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,719 Speaker 8: early in the year. But again, you don't you don't 1451 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,479 Speaker 8: really call Ron Colly in Westfield the huge up set 1452 01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:30,439 Speaker 8: type of teams either, So you know, so but those 1453 01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 8: two games I think we're definitely ones that that probably 1454 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:34,440 Speaker 8: caught my eye the most. 1455 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 1: Again, you have turned into a state wide beat at 1456 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 1: this point in time, obviously primarily schools in central Indiana. 1457 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,760 Speaker 1: I bring this up as the transition into Miles McLoughlin. 1458 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,880 Speaker 1: What has been like the request for information, the amount 1459 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 1: of traffic when you have commented on Miles written about him, 1460 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 1: et cetera. What has been the level of interstate wide 1461 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,839 Speaker 1: in telling his story huge. 1462 01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's and I'm a prize, to be 1463 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,719 Speaker 8: honest with you, I didn't realize, you know, I wanted 1464 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 8: to go up there probably about mid season and do 1465 01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,760 Speaker 8: a story on him and did that, and you know, 1466 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,800 Speaker 8: the the numbers were really crazy on that. Even even 1467 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:14,240 Speaker 8: that was pretty well before he'd got the Charlie Spiegel's record. 1468 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,880 Speaker 8: So but he was in line, and I thought, you know, 1469 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,320 Speaker 8: had a chance to get there. Wanted to actually just 1470 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,240 Speaker 8: see him for myself and go. I went to a 1471 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 8: practice and Russ Radke let me kind of you know, 1472 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 8: stand in the huddle basically and watch him do practice. 1473 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,320 Speaker 8: And you know, it was fun. I enjoyed kind of 1474 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,599 Speaker 8: learning about him and and in Russ and his offense 1475 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 8: and the way everything works. But in the meantime and 1476 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,880 Speaker 8: then the time since then, the interest level, the national 1477 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,720 Speaker 8: interest has really gotten really taken off just because of 1478 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 8: his you know the fact that he's chasing Derrick Henry. 1479 01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 8: You know, he's got a chance tonight to break the 1480 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,240 Speaker 8: single season national rushing record, which is which is incredible. 1481 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,280 Speaker 8: You know, so it'd be really cool if they made 1482 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 8: it here to the state finals and that record was 1483 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,680 Speaker 8: on the line. That would just add another story to 1484 01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 8: you know, a busy week, but but would be would 1485 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 8: be pretty awesome, you know, and I think that is 1486 01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 8: on the table possibly, But you know, as you get 1487 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:14,960 Speaker 8: in the tournament, obviously did the the opponents get tougher 1488 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,599 Speaker 8: and you know, Angola and whoever wins next week's game 1489 01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:22,680 Speaker 8: could be Lures or Mississiniwa will will be difficult teams. 1490 01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 5: To you know, do this again. 1491 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,479 Speaker 8: So but I thought that throughout. I was like, man, 1492 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:27,560 Speaker 8: I don't know if he's going to be able to 1493 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 8: keep doing this. He just keeps and he does, so 1494 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 8: it's it's it's pretty crazy. But uh but yeah, from 1495 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 8: a statewide perspective, it's really even even more of a 1496 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,720 Speaker 8: national perspective, it's really kind of taken off to a 1497 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 8: level I didn't really anticipate. 1498 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,679 Speaker 1: Does it come down to he and Jet Goldsbury of Hamilton, 1499 01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,679 Speaker 1: I'm sorry of of of heritage chills for the Mister 1500 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,000 Speaker 1: Football Award? Is it pretty much Miles at this point 1501 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 1: or is there somebody or other somebodies I'm leaving out 1502 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: of this discussion. 1503 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 8: Well, I thought going into the season that that Jeded 1504 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 8: Goldsberry would be the guy to beat because you know, 1505 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:06,000 Speaker 8: if you go back in history, a lot of times 1506 01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 8: it's it's people who win, uh the state championship as 1507 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,160 Speaker 8: a junior, and then they kind of have a advantage 1508 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 8: just because you know, people know who they are. You know, 1509 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 8: he won a state title. He's the quarterback of the team. 1510 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,720 Speaker 8: You know, so I would I kind of went into 1511 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 8: the season thing it was sort of his to uh 1512 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 8: to win and and then you know everybody else kind 1513 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,760 Speaker 8: of is trying to chase him. But you know, with 1514 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 8: what Miles has done here these last uh you know, 1515 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 8: basically his whole season and really his career numbers, you know, 1516 01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,400 Speaker 8: he's I think put himself in position. You know, if 1517 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 8: he wins a national rushing record, you know, you know, 1518 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 8: it'd be hard to not have him as be mister football, 1519 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,560 Speaker 8: I would think. So You're you're sort of at a 1520 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 8: point where it's like, I don't you know, but I 1521 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,040 Speaker 8: know how the voting goes sometimes, and you know it's it's, uh, 1522 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 8: you'll have a lot of people voting for Jet and 1523 01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,600 Speaker 8: you'll have you'll have some six A people too. I 1524 01:16:55,600 --> 01:17:00,200 Speaker 8: think Kashmir Hicks will get some get some votes know 1525 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 8: from Decatur Central because he also want to stay title 1526 01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:05,720 Speaker 8: last year, his numbers are really good, probably not quite 1527 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 8: as good this year for for a few reasons. You know, 1528 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 8: they had some injuries, and you know they're they're playing 1529 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 8: six A. It's a little bit tougher. And I think 1530 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 8: Jacob Davis from newpal will we'll get some too, and 1531 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,160 Speaker 8: I think they'll win state. But but yeah, I don't 1532 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 8: it's gonna be hard. I think those two, to me, 1533 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,080 Speaker 8: are are sort of the the ones you're looking at 1534 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 8: right now. And then there's a lot of other really 1535 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,240 Speaker 8: good players too, but maybe don't have the the name 1536 01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 8: recognition or the overall resume. But but yeah, I mean 1537 01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,679 Speaker 8: Miles is gonna have a great resume. Jet is too. 1538 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,360 Speaker 8: I mean he's still doing it this year, and you 1539 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 8: know they have a chance to to keep advancing as 1540 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,120 Speaker 8: well in a higher class. So yeah, it's gonna be 1541 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 8: It's gonna be a more interesting race, maybe than I 1542 01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:47,800 Speaker 8: thought it was going in again. 1543 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,839 Speaker 1: Kyle Nenrip of the Indianapolis Star joining us on the 1544 01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: Java House Peel and poor guest line, I'm sorry I 1545 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,679 Speaker 1: won't see this Friday nights as I have Warren Central 1546 01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,280 Speaker 1: and Center Grove. My guess is I'll probably see you 1547 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 1: next Friday night typically the way that these things work out. 1548 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:03,679 Speaker 1: And joy game, buddy. 1549 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,120 Speaker 8: All right, thanks, Greg, appreciate you. 1550 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,800 Speaker 1: Got a Kyle nenrip of the Indianapolis Star. Let's get 1551 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 1: to Bob's telephone call. Try to get to Todd's telephone call. 1552 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 1: This segment is well, don't want Bob to be on hold. 1553 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 1: You all along, Bob, thanks for dialing us up. What 1554 01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: do you have for us? 1555 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:22,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, Ray, thanks for taking my call with your expertise 1556 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,920 Speaker 9: knowledge of high school sports, especially football. I am a 1557 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:32,799 Speaker 9: long ago graduate from Southmont. They will be playing Adrian tonight, 1558 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 9: and kind of explain to me with your expertise. You know, 1559 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:42,519 Speaker 9: south Mont has always had they haven't had a home 1560 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 9: playoff game. They're always on the road. They're eleven, they're 1561 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 9: eleven and one and can't get a home game. 1562 01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,080 Speaker 1: I would assume that it's just kind of the the 1563 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:58,360 Speaker 1: luck of the draw or the lack thereof. In other words, 1564 01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:00,439 Speaker 1: if I forget whether it's top or by half of 1565 01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 1: the bracket, then it's odd numbered sectional versus even sectional. Basically, 1566 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,880 Speaker 1: the way the tie breakers are set up, Bob, it 1567 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 1: is if, for example, if it goes to a tiebreaker, 1568 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:14,760 Speaker 1: it means that both teams were on the road or 1569 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 1: both teams were at home last week, and then they 1570 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 1: go all right. If that's not the case, then it's 1571 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 1: depending on your classification, the higher number sectional or the 1572 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 1: lower number sectional. Same thing for the semi state. There 1573 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 1: is supposed to be kind of a clause in there 1574 01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,680 Speaker 1: where like if you have not hosted the sectional or 1575 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,719 Speaker 1: the regional, you get to be the semi state host. 1576 01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 1: But so much of that is simply luck of the 1577 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 1: draw because things aren't seeded. So I knew South Mount 1578 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: was playing and Andrean as the opponent. Give me time 1579 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,760 Speaker 1: during the break to kind of look up Southmont's schedule 1580 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,760 Speaker 1: and their draw, and I'll walk you through exactly why 1581 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,599 Speaker 1: that's the case. Sound good, perf? 1582 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:58,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, perfect, because last week they played Lewis cass and 1583 01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 9: Louis cast Is eight three. They were ten and one 1584 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,879 Speaker 9: going into that game and they had to travel. 1585 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: Well again, has nothing to do because of no seating 1586 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 1: and anything to do with your record. It is all 1587 01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: about where you kind of slot in in terms of 1588 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 1: how you were drawn onto the board. Bob, thanks for 1589 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,800 Speaker 1: the telephone call. I appreciate it. I'll give an answer 1590 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 1: to your question. I promise you in the next segment 1591 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 1: of the show, let me stick in Todd's telephone call 1592 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 1: real quick, Hello Todd, Hey. 1593 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,599 Speaker 10: Greg, I know you're on time here, rapid fires. So 1594 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,000 Speaker 10: just three three things real quick here. First of all, 1595 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,959 Speaker 10: I believe the five day state championship game was probably 1596 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 10: played the last Friday. I don't know who's going to 1597 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,919 Speaker 10: beat the Dragons, but I would like your thoughts on that. Secondly, 1598 01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,800 Speaker 10: clarity on Forrest Buckner on the I R. Is it 1599 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 10: four weeks. 1600 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 1: Or four games? Four games? 1601 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 2: Okay? 1602 01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 7: All right? 1603 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,400 Speaker 10: And I don't care if us longer. We need him 1604 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,640 Speaker 10: for the playoffs for sure, So but it so the 1605 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,640 Speaker 10: bye week isn't to your advantage there necessarily. 1606 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,759 Speaker 1: Correct, No, he has to miss the new three games 1607 01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 1: as soon as he could come back as the Seattle 1608 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 1: game December the fourteenth. 1609 01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,200 Speaker 10: Roger, okay, and then the last one. You know, I 1610 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,519 Speaker 10: know IU basketball team is not ranked in it, and 1611 01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,000 Speaker 10: I'm fine with that. In fact, I think this probably 1612 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,680 Speaker 10: I think it keeps them a little edgier sure, not 1613 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 10: being ranked. I think I think, you know, sometimes you 1614 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 10: eat up the rankings a little bit too much, and 1615 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,839 Speaker 10: all of a sudden they slip into seventeen or eighteen, 1616 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 10: and they think they're they think they're a big deal. 1617 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,559 Speaker 10: I like them being unranked. Same with the football team 1618 01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,679 Speaker 10: who started the year ranked somewhere around nineteenth or twenty first, 1619 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,679 Speaker 10: I believe. And all they've done is do their job 1620 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 10: each week and lo and behold, look what happens. So yeah, 1621 01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:46,960 Speaker 10: just they're just any comments you have on what I 1622 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,680 Speaker 10: mentioned the Yeah, you got it. 1623 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:54,559 Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for Colin, thanks for listening. On the Newpal team. Yeah, 1624 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,040 Speaker 1: I think they're the favorites in five A. Yes, I 1625 01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,439 Speaker 1: think Cathedrals are toughest opponent. Newpal got the toughest possible 1626 01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 1: draw they could. They will likely play a ranked foe 1627 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,519 Speaker 1: all five weeks of the tournament, assuming they make it 1628 01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 1: to Lucas Oil and win through. Because playfield I think 1629 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,880 Speaker 1: was tenth, the Cathedral was right behind them. East Central's 1630 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,719 Speaker 1: really good. Then you're looking at Bloomington South or Floyd Central, 1631 01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 1: who are also both ranked coming out of the North again. Lafayette, Jeff, 1632 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:23,760 Speaker 1: I think Merrillville is still going to Daffy has just 1633 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:25,800 Speaker 1: got to go to Concord. They got to play tough 1634 01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,679 Speaker 1: teams all the way to there. There's no easy weeks 1635 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 1: for them. I think New Pal is the best team. 1636 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,599 Speaker 1: East Central may be the closest thing to them in 1637 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 1: terms of how they play, and they got to go 1638 01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,880 Speaker 1: to Saint Leons, so tonight will not be easy for Newpal, 1639 01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 1: but I expect them to win. I expect them to 1640 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 1: win the whole thing. On the Indiana front, the ranking 1641 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,240 Speaker 1: will take care of itself. And again, given the schedule 1642 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:52,519 Speaker 1: that Indiana plays, they keep playing like this, they're going 1643 01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 1: to be ranked. Playing Incarnate word will not help them 1644 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,320 Speaker 1: in their next game. But again, they play enough quality 1645 01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,280 Speaker 1: competition and Big ten plays start so early these days, 1646 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 1: the ranking side of things will take care of itself. 1647 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 1: I got to answer Bob's Southmont question. I didn't think 1648 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:09,880 Speaker 1: i'd get a Southmont Mounty's question on the program today, 1649 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,360 Speaker 1: but I did. And because Nathangela and I went to 1650 01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 1: the University of Indianapolis, we believe in the motto of 1651 01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 1: education for service. It's what we're here to do. So 1652 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:20,719 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that when we come back on ninety 1653 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,080 Speaker 1: three to five and one oh seven to five of 1654 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 1: the Fan. 1655 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,920 Speaker 4: This is Querry in Company on ninety three five and 1656 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 4: one oh seven five the Fan. 1657 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 1: You know, when I do these shows, especially this time, 1658 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 1: here when things are so busy, we tend to load 1659 01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,360 Speaker 1: up on great guests. It makes it easier and the 1660 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,599 Speaker 1: guy that doesn't do this anymore on a full time basis. 1661 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,120 Speaker 1: So there's alway these open segments that we we're gonna 1662 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 1: talk about. I did not plan on talking about the 1663 01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:46,120 Speaker 1: postseason path of the Southmont Mountings, but here we are 1664 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:51,640 Speaker 1: because Bob asked and I promised to deliver. So he 1665 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,760 Speaker 1: asked about his Mounties, who are eleven and one and 1666 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 1: are now who are on the road for a third 1667 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 1: consecutive week in the state tournament. Here's how this happens. 1668 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,160 Speaker 1: The Mountains are in two A Sectional thirty four. They 1669 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 1: were driving home the first week they beat the Delphi Oracles. 1670 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:12,880 Speaker 1: The next game that Southmont played was against Nathaniel Finch's 1671 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:17,600 Speaker 1: Western Boone Stars. Western Boone was also at home in 1672 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 1: round number one, so since both teams had the same 1673 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 1: number of home games, the team that was quote the 1674 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 1: bottom team on the bracket or the lower team in 1675 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 1: the bracket, they were the second name team to Southmont. 1676 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: They got the home game. Now, Southmont was undeterred by 1677 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:41,680 Speaker 1: having to go play at Western Boone High School on Halloween. 1678 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 1: The carriage turned back into a pumpkin for the Stars. 1679 01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:49,960 Speaker 1: Southmont beat Webo thirty three to eleven, so they ended 1680 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 1: up playing Lewis Cass in the sectional championship game. Lewis 1681 01:24:55,360 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 1: Cass was on the road in week number one. They 1682 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:03,800 Speaker 1: were then at home in week number two, which meant 1683 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:07,719 Speaker 1: that both teams had had the same number of home 1684 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:11,639 Speaker 1: games in the tournament. Again, Lewis Cass was the last 1685 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,640 Speaker 1: named team on the bracket, hence they had the tiebreaker, 1686 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,439 Speaker 1: and so south Mont is on the road. The Mounties 1687 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 1: took their offense with them to Galveston Walton. All the 1688 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,599 Speaker 1: Bergs that make up Lewis Cass High School didn't take 1689 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,160 Speaker 1: their defense, but they took enough offense they beat the 1690 01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,479 Speaker 1: Kings by a score of forty four to thirty nine. 1691 01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:38,839 Speaker 1: So now south Mont will face Andreian in the regional 1692 01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:43,960 Speaker 1: championship game. And to determine the tiebreak procedures in a 1693 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 1: regional the idea is is that if a team did 1694 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,920 Speaker 1: not host their sectional final, well they get to host 1695 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 1: the regional. But apparently the Fighting fifty nine Ers also 1696 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 1: were on the road to win their sectional championship game. 1697 01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:03,320 Speaker 1: In fact, I can confirm that Andrean had not had 1698 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 1: a home game yet in the tournament because they played 1699 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,320 Speaker 1: at Wheeler and at Renzuller Central and the Fighting fifty 1700 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: nine Ers won them both. So since both teams were 1701 01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,880 Speaker 1: on the road for their sectional championship, what is the 1702 01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:18,960 Speaker 1: tiebreaker the odd sexual number gets to host. Let's go 1703 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 1: back to the sectional draw. Sectional thirty three is where 1704 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:27,280 Speaker 1: Andrayan is from Southmont, Sectional thirty four, and that is 1705 01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:33,280 Speaker 1: how the Southmont Mounties were on the road three consecutive weeks. Bybe, 1706 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:37,160 Speaker 1: I hope that makes sense. IHSAA dot org has all 1707 01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,479 Speaker 1: of that explanation for you. Good luck to your mounties. 1708 01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:44,400 Speaker 1: And again I haven't done the computer math just yet, 1709 01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 1: but my guess would be I could look at Carol Side. 1710 01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,479 Speaker 1: He would tell me immediately because he does that stuff, 1711 01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,200 Speaker 1: which is why he's beloved by all of us that 1712 01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,640 Speaker 1: work in this business. If Southmont gets past Andrean, I 1713 01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,280 Speaker 1: would imagine they would be at home. In fact, I 1714 01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 1: think I remember seeing that they would be at home 1715 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,479 Speaker 1: next week. Good luck to your mounties as you make 1716 01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 1: your way. And by the way, I have this address 1717 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,440 Speaker 1: committed to memory, fifty nine to fifty nine Broadway in Meryllville. 1718 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,479 Speaker 1: If you're going to night's game to watch Southmont take 1719 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:15,200 Speaker 1: on said fighting fifty nine ers with that, that's how 1720 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 1: you fill a segment with no guest. We'll take a 1721 01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,600 Speaker 1: quick time out. Kevin Bowen will join us next on 1722 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 1: ninety three to five and one oh seven five. 1723 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 4: The Fan Face is Querry in Company on ninety three 1724 01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 4: five and one oh seven five. 1725 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 1: The Fan, You know, you might want to get the 1726 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:33,760 Speaker 1: dump button ready because the man we're getting ready to 1727 01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 1: have on is on team no sleep right now. Then 1728 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,960 Speaker 1: once you get to three, you know, it's it's kind 1729 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,519 Speaker 1: of routine, like the way you freak out about child 1730 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 1: number one and then like we're fine for child number 1731 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,920 Speaker 1: two on down is different, but you have less of 1732 01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 1: a filter when you have less sleep. So hopefully Kevin 1733 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 1: Bowen can refrain from swearing after hearing that song as 1734 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,040 Speaker 1: his lead in here on ninety three to five and 1735 01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 1: one oh seven five The Fan, What are you doing 1736 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 1: back at work this week? 1737 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:06,520 Speaker 11: By the way, Well, I, you know, we don't get paternally, 1738 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 11: so it's just all kind of PTO, and I certainly 1739 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,719 Speaker 11: took some other PTO earlier in the year, so I figured, 1740 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 11: you know, last Friday she was born, so obviously it 1741 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 11: didn't work that day, and you know, three days this week, 1742 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 11: and if you're only working two days, right, you know, 1743 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 11: for you, that is absolutely nothing. So I felt like 1744 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,960 Speaker 11: it's the least I could do. And you know you 1745 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 11: and I both typically are out there at the Colts 1746 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 11: after the show. So the fact that I didn't have 1747 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,680 Speaker 11: to go out there either day, Thursday or Friday, it 1748 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 11: was very nice. 1749 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 5: So worked out well for me. 1750 01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,760 Speaker 1: You're Kevin freaking Bowen, you right for the website and 1751 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,760 Speaker 1: you're on Morning Drive. You think they're going to ding 1752 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,760 Speaker 1: you for taking too many days off? The Urban One 1753 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:47,040 Speaker 1: offices will drop the hammer on one of Indianapolis's most 1754 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:51,679 Speaker 1: popular sports personalities with luxurious air courtesy of your radio deal. 1755 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:54,680 Speaker 11: Thank you, Thank you to wee girl here Andy for that. 1756 01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,679 Speaker 11: You know, yes, you know I believe you have said 1757 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:00,759 Speaker 11: November and May maybe your busiest. 1758 01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 2: Correct. 1759 01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 11: Yes, I can't speak to me, you know, maybe one 1760 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,600 Speaker 11: day for me, but you know how it is. I mean, 1761 01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:09,600 Speaker 11: it's just different this time of year, so June and 1762 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:11,759 Speaker 11: July I probably would have stretched it a little bit further. 1763 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,800 Speaker 11: But very supportive wife. And to your point, you know, 1764 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,479 Speaker 11: when you have a third and the oldest two are 1765 01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:20,439 Speaker 11: both in school Monday through Friday. It's a little bit 1766 01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:24,120 Speaker 11: easier in terms of the the daily grind at nighttime. 1767 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 2: Though. 1768 01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,759 Speaker 11: Boy, I didn't think I'd be driving a baby around 1769 01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:29,800 Speaker 11: Butler's camp at two forty five in the morning, But 1770 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,840 Speaker 11: there I was the other night, trying to get her 1771 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,760 Speaker 11: back to sleep. So start the engine, head over to 1772 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:36,640 Speaker 11: Hinkle and see if there's any cars left in the 1773 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 11: parking lot after they beat Chicago State. 1774 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,600 Speaker 1: The way the team Restra handled this was that I 1775 01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,639 Speaker 1: took the late shift. In other words, like I would 1776 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,000 Speaker 1: stay up until like two or three and then and 1777 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:50,799 Speaker 1: I would I would basically kick Amy to the bedroom 1778 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 1: and say, Nate, next six hours, don't come out here. Okay, 1779 01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 1: you've you've stored up enough. We can take care of 1780 01:29:57,080 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 1: the feeding stuff. I got this. This is your guarantee 1781 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 1: sleep time. Then mill of the night, I'll get four 1782 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 1: or five hours of sleep before I actually have to, 1783 01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, go to my job. Is that the same 1784 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:10,560 Speaker 1: thing that Team Bowen is handling her? Or does it? 1785 01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 2: Does? 1786 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: Do times vary in the Bowen household? 1787 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, we're kind of on the same plan there. You know, 1788 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,400 Speaker 11: this is the first baby really fall baby for me, 1789 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 11: or like basketball season, baby, which is nice. Like last night, 1790 01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:25,360 Speaker 11: for example, I said, hey, you know, all take Nelly 1791 01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,640 Speaker 11: during the Pacer game throughout, and you know that was 1792 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,719 Speaker 11: what eleven o'clock I think is when luckily Fan Duel 1793 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:33,519 Speaker 11: crapped out on all of us. I think there for 1794 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:35,720 Speaker 11: a few minutes so I could go to bed, and 1795 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 11: then she kind of passed her back off to me 1796 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 11: like at five. So like, you know, for the most part, 1797 01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,680 Speaker 11: you know, she unfortunately is the one feeding Nelly for 1798 01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,840 Speaker 11: a couple hours, so you know, I could handle you know, 1799 01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:48,760 Speaker 11: she can go to bed at whatever eight fifteen after 1800 01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:50,360 Speaker 11: that feed, and then I could kind of handle it 1801 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 11: until about eleven o'clock and wake her back up for 1802 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,400 Speaker 11: the feed and then morning time, you know, just start 1803 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,839 Speaker 11: my morning routine a little bit earlier and bring Nelly. 1804 01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 5: Downstairs with me. 1805 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 11: So again, some of these late night basketball games, you 1806 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,040 Speaker 11: gotta like dread the you know, I you at the 1807 01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:07,000 Speaker 11: barn at nine o'clock on a Tuesday, I'm like, oh man. 1808 01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:07,840 Speaker 5: You gotta watch it. 1809 01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 11: Of course, you got to talk about it the next morning. 1810 01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,040 Speaker 11: But you know, when you're in a baby season, you 1811 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:13,800 Speaker 11: don't mind it as much because you can kind of 1812 01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 11: you know two birds of one stone, if you will. 1813 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 1: I also know how talk show host work. When you 1814 01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,519 Speaker 1: do this daily and then you're gone for like four 1815 01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,720 Speaker 1: or five days, all you have all you like, you're 1816 01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 1: trying to remember all the things you thought about that 1817 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,479 Speaker 1: would be good to say on the radio when you 1818 01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:30,360 Speaker 1: didn't have the chance to say those things on the radio. 1819 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,640 Speaker 1: So when you're not here Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, what 1820 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,280 Speaker 1: were the things you were dying to say or talk 1821 01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,040 Speaker 1: about When you got back on the air on Thursday morning, 1822 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 1: I know I. 1823 01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 11: Kind of felt like the kids late to the party. 1824 01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, I have to talk about I 1825 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 1: got this take Hang on a second, Yeah, I get it. 1826 01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 5: Yeah right? 1827 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:50,040 Speaker 11: Can I talk about Omar Cooper juniter? Can I talk 1828 01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:52,559 Speaker 11: about Jonathan Taylor? Can I go back to Jeremiah loves 1829 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,680 Speaker 11: or on like all of that on Monday? You know, 1830 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:58,400 Speaker 11: I guess colplies, you know, a super entertaining game, you know, 1831 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,679 Speaker 11: I think of the urgency of that game and be lost. 1832 01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 11: You know, if you were all of a sudden, you know, 1833 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,120 Speaker 11: to lose that game going into your bye week and 1834 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 11: then you're at Kansas City out of the bye you 1835 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,519 Speaker 11: watched New England win last night. You know, they would 1836 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,040 Speaker 11: be a full game up in the standings on you 1837 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 11: in the one seed. You know, Jacksonville would be a 1838 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,680 Speaker 11: little bit closer. I just think it's one of those 1839 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,479 Speaker 11: games that you know, maybe there will obviously be bigger 1840 01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,599 Speaker 11: games in terms of opponent record the rest of the way, 1841 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,400 Speaker 11: But I just thought it was a huge win in 1842 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:26,720 Speaker 11: a game where you obviously had your several months wore. 1843 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 11: It looked like you weren't going to win that game. 1844 01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:31,680 Speaker 11: Taylor's heroics, just what more can you say about him? 1845 01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:33,880 Speaker 11: I mean, it's it's the closest thing to an MVP 1846 01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:36,439 Speaker 11: type of level you're going to get from a running back. 1847 01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:38,960 Speaker 11: You know, the Daniel Jones situation obviously is a little 1848 01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 11: bit more on a Okay, where are we at with 1849 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 11: him exiting the bye week? And then you know, I 1850 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:47,200 Speaker 11: would say just to the Forest Buckner injuries is probably 1851 01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:49,479 Speaker 11: the other thing Colts related of you know, he is 1852 01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:52,000 Speaker 11: such a key and greed. I shared this earlier today 1853 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 11: on the show, but I was speaking with the coach 1854 01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:57,200 Speaker 11: the Colts faced a few weeks back, and you know, 1855 01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,360 Speaker 11: I was like, hey, just general thoughts, what do you 1856 01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:00,920 Speaker 11: think about the cults and the first thing he said 1857 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 11: to me was ninety nine makes it all go. And 1858 01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:05,640 Speaker 11: I just think it's kind of the praise that I 1859 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:07,719 Speaker 11: think we know, but just to hear that from around 1860 01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:10,679 Speaker 11: the league of what he means to the defense, it's 1861 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:12,360 Speaker 11: obviously going to be a big loss for however long 1862 01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:12,840 Speaker 11: he's out. 1863 01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,120 Speaker 1: How does the defense now that Sauce Gardner is here, 1864 01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,600 Speaker 1: and again you're trying to compensate for not having to 1865 01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:21,599 Speaker 1: Forrest Buckner at least until mid December. How to how 1866 01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:26,000 Speaker 1: the Colts play defense looks differently against the Chiefs versus 1867 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 1: what it was against the Falcons, because you basically had 1868 01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 1: forty eight hours in a flight to teach Sauce a 1869 01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:34,759 Speaker 1: new playbook. Now that you've got the gift of time 1870 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:38,280 Speaker 1: for two weeks, what can leu Anarumo and group do differently? 1871 01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:41,599 Speaker 11: Well, I throw in Rake. You know where is Shaveri's 1872 01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 11: Ward's status as well? Of course you know, I think 1873 01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 11: if he can get back in the lineup after the 1874 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,599 Speaker 11: buye which he is eligible to return from IR, now 1875 01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:52,280 Speaker 11: you just sleep better at night versus how you've treated 1876 01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,599 Speaker 11: the other cornerback position. One thing I didn't really understand 1877 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 11: in that Atlanta games, they played Makai Blackman a lot 1878 01:33:57,240 --> 01:33:59,720 Speaker 11: more than Jalen Jones. I would have I thought Jones 1879 01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:01,519 Speaker 11: said job in the Pittsburgh game. I would like to 1880 01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:03,840 Speaker 11: have seen more from him. You know, Blackman had a 1881 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,640 Speaker 11: couple of moments there that you didn't love, you know, 1882 01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,400 Speaker 11: I think a healthy ward and then Gardner, now you 1883 01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,479 Speaker 11: can give I think ample attention to your pass rush, 1884 01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 11: and you know, for the most part in Rumo is 1885 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:19,280 Speaker 11: pretty willing to do that anyways. You know, maybe there's 1886 01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 11: some moments he's a little hesitant, but you know, Cam 1887 01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:23,760 Speaker 11: buying them. Blitzing from a deep free safety spot is 1888 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:25,519 Speaker 11: not something every team in the league would be comfortable, 1889 01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:27,200 Speaker 11: if not a lot of teams would be comfortable with it, 1890 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 11: given the Colts cornerback situation. But early in the game, 1891 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:31,760 Speaker 11: the cults are dialing that up and it turned to 1892 01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 11: be a huge turned out to be a huge play 1893 01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 11: in the game. You or Franklin's blitzed there in overtime 1894 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,760 Speaker 11: as well. So I just think more of that. A. 1895 01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:41,920 Speaker 11: You need it, I think without Buckner, and again B, 1896 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 11: you should feel a little bit more comfortable with it 1897 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 11: if you look at whiteouts the rest of the way. 1898 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:48,360 Speaker 11: I mean you're going to face some very good white 1899 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,160 Speaker 11: outs here down the stretch. So I think it comes 1900 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:52,599 Speaker 11: uh at the right time as well. 1901 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,360 Speaker 1: And maybe concern isn't the right word, but I'll say 1902 01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:58,040 Speaker 1: it anyway. Level of concern what we've seen from Daniel 1903 01:34:58,080 --> 01:34:59,080 Speaker 1: Jones the last two weeks. 1904 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:04,240 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's proba of the hardest question I've kind of, 1905 01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,000 Speaker 11: you know, gone back and forth with all week long 1906 01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:10,000 Speaker 11: break because you know, through the first seven or eight games, 1907 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:13,000 Speaker 11: he was defying the back of his own baseball card, 1908 01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:16,400 Speaker 11: and now he's kind of gotten back to the New 1909 01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:18,720 Speaker 11: York side of the baseball card. So like where we're here, 1910 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 11: are we is is the India? Because the Indie sample 1911 01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:23,719 Speaker 11: size is bigger than the last two weeks. Of course, 1912 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,720 Speaker 11: you know, are we back to New York or will 1913 01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,200 Speaker 11: those first two months be the prevailing theme here when 1914 01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:31,639 Speaker 11: they get back from the bike week. Has the rest 1915 01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,400 Speaker 11: of the NFL kind of caught up to a little 1916 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:33,760 Speaker 11: bit of it? 1917 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:34,720 Speaker 1: You know? 1918 01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:36,879 Speaker 11: These are all questions I have. And again, the offensive 1919 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:40,160 Speaker 11: line situation, they continue to be really healthy, which you know, 1920 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 11: at some point the shoot typically drops with that position 1921 01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 11: group and you deal with some sort of uh, you know, 1922 01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:49,320 Speaker 11: banged up nature at this point. You know, last year 1923 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 11: you had had Wilf Fries already broke his leg, you know, 1924 01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,040 Speaker 11: Ryan Kelly had been dealing with some stuff, and then 1925 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,960 Speaker 11: you had unfortunately Braden Smith, you know, going away from 1926 01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:57,799 Speaker 11: the team for the final month and half of the season. 1927 01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:00,439 Speaker 11: So you know, all of that, I think are questions 1928 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,120 Speaker 11: that you have there with Jones. You know, the one 1929 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:04,920 Speaker 11: thing he was doing so well the first two months 1930 01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:06,800 Speaker 11: of the season, which again was kind of anti what 1931 01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:09,680 Speaker 11: he did in New York, was when pressure was in 1932 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:13,720 Speaker 11: his face, he was feasting. And now you know the 1933 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:15,200 Speaker 11: old adage and I know I said this a lot, 1934 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 11: but I think it's such a great quote from Peyton 1935 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:20,719 Speaker 11: Manning about quarterback play is you know, when you identify 1936 01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,800 Speaker 11: a bad play, make sure it's not an even worse play. 1937 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:24,720 Speaker 2: And right now, with. 1938 01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:27,439 Speaker 11: Daniel Jones, some of those bad plays have been, you know, 1939 01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:30,920 Speaker 11: borderline catastrophic. Now, having said that, you know, going back 1940 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 11: to Atlanta game, the scramble on third and twenty one, 1941 01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 11: the throws to Tyler Warren on fourth and two, and 1942 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,960 Speaker 11: then the one in overtime, and those are big time 1943 01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,680 Speaker 11: players in a big time moment. So I don't think 1944 01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:42,800 Speaker 11: you can lose sight of that either. 1945 01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:47,800 Speaker 1: How much NFL football are you consuming on Sunday and 1946 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:52,280 Speaker 1: what games are really on your radar comes. 1947 01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:56,400 Speaker 11: Sunday, Well, you know my fantom for Notre Dame basketball. 1948 01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:58,360 Speaker 11: We've got a big one here at noon, Notre Dame 1949 01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:01,320 Speaker 11: at Ohio State here coming up on Sunday. Shout out 1950 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:03,800 Speaker 11: to coach Owens, coach Shrewsbury and company. It's been a 1951 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 11: very nice start to the season, so very much looking 1952 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:10,400 Speaker 11: forward to that. You know, I'm not used to experiencing 1953 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:15,799 Speaker 11: the one o'clock NFL window, but I was on Sunday. 1954 01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,479 Speaker 11: Oh my gosh, it's it can get electric there going 1955 01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,160 Speaker 11: back and forth, poblem through those finishes in the one 1956 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:24,200 Speaker 11: o'clock window. And Rake, this is a great slate for 1957 01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,840 Speaker 11: Colts by week, like, you've got some really good games. 1958 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:29,800 Speaker 11: I think Buccaneers Bills is a really good game. 1959 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:30,280 Speaker 1: You know. 1960 01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 11: Eagles Lions, I know, is one that a lot of 1961 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:34,360 Speaker 11: people talk about. I believe that's Sunday night football. You 1962 01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:36,719 Speaker 11: get a look at your opponent next week with Chiefs 1963 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,360 Speaker 11: at Broncos at a huge game for Kansas City in 1964 01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,600 Speaker 11: that one, and then Seahawks Rams is another four o'clocker. 1965 01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 11: That's a really good game. So yeah, I mean last 1966 01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 11: night was a dud, of course, but and Monday night 1967 01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:50,120 Speaker 11: really intrigued me. I want to say it's Cowboys Raiders. 1968 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,920 Speaker 11: But outside of that, you've got some really really good 1969 01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,439 Speaker 11: games one o'clock, four o'clock and then Sunday night football 1970 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:55,760 Speaker 11: as well. 1971 01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,400 Speaker 1: All right, since you brought it up, and since mom 1972 01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:02,519 Speaker 1: and baby are doing well. January twenty seventh, UVA and 1973 01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,400 Speaker 1: South bend back and play for you at this point? 1974 01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I like that? Yeah? What what? 1975 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:10,519 Speaker 11: What day of the week were we looking. 1976 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,439 Speaker 1: At Tuesday night against the University of Virginia. 1977 01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:16,880 Speaker 11: Let's let's let's throw that in in pencil on the 1978 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:18,760 Speaker 11: skill and I will clear that with the with the 1979 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,640 Speaker 11: powers to be. But I like the sound of that. 1980 01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:22,800 Speaker 1: All right, take an extra shift or two. Uh, you 1981 01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:28,600 Speaker 1: should be fine. From a from a a Saturday viewing standpoint, 1982 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,519 Speaker 1: who's your's at noon? Frankly, you can watch them both. Who's' 1983 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,720 Speaker 1: is at noon? Pacers at seven? What are you looking 1984 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,080 Speaker 1: forward to kind of checking on the dial come Saturday? 1985 01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:39,639 Speaker 11: Yeah, and you know, obviously I'll throw in my Irish 1986 01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,000 Speaker 11: and college game day there at noon? You know the 1987 01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:45,760 Speaker 11: thing about you, it's just wild how I think you 1988 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,599 Speaker 11: can make the argument. And I don't know, maybe Vanderbilt 1989 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:51,000 Speaker 11: would fall into the boat a little bit, but certainly 1990 01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:52,680 Speaker 11: from a Big Ten standpoint, Rake, I don't know if 1991 01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:54,679 Speaker 11: there's two programs that have gone into bigger one eighty 1992 01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 11: in the last three years in Wisconsin and IU. 1993 01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:00,639 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I remember being at. 1994 01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:05,200 Speaker 11: Indiana and they scored eighty three points right football on 1995 01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 11: the Hoosiers, And like, if you told me Saturday that 1996 01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:12,880 Speaker 11: you know, eighty three obviously is a ridiculous number, but 1997 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,000 Speaker 11: if you told me Indiana scored sixty three, I don't 1998 01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:18,040 Speaker 11: think I'd laugh at that today, given how Wisconsin is 1999 01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:20,120 Speaker 11: wis Compton won a football game last week and their 2000 01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:21,360 Speaker 11: leading passer was their punter. 2001 01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:21,760 Speaker 2: Yep. 2002 01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:26,040 Speaker 11: Like, it's just it's amazing, and they've felt a lot 2003 01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,920 Speaker 11: of injuries and everything. So the fact that I'm looking 2004 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:33,280 Speaker 11: at Indiana's a thirty point favorite, it's just wild. So yeah, 2005 01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,880 Speaker 11: it's a get healthy game. It's get to the weird 2006 01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 11: late season by and then the biggest tickets we'll probably 2007 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:41,760 Speaker 11: see in the state of Indiana history for that Big 2008 01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:43,920 Speaker 11: Ten title game for Indiana and Ohio State. 2009 01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:47,479 Speaker 1: Do you know that Indiana is currently on a winning 2010 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,360 Speaker 1: streak against the University of Wisconsin. 2011 01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:53,760 Speaker 11: Really, you know what, now, you say that didn't Tom 2012 01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:55,520 Speaker 11: Allen win up there during COVID. 2013 01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,920 Speaker 1: Season the COVID year, they won a very low scoring 2014 01:39:57,960 --> 01:39:59,960 Speaker 1: game fourteen to six. That was one of the many 2015 01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,839 Speaker 1: big wins that year, Penn State to start the season, 2016 01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:05,880 Speaker 1: Michigan during the course of the COVID season as well, 2017 01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:11,080 Speaker 1: and through the quirks of the Big Ten calendar. Now 2018 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:13,920 Speaker 1: and it's you know, there was the divisional opponents, and 2019 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:17,559 Speaker 1: now you've got the four teams out west. Indiana and 2020 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:23,200 Speaker 1: Wisconsin have not played since twenty twenty three, and Indiana 2021 01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,879 Speaker 1: beat Wisconsin twenty to fourteen when they played in twenty 2022 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:28,840 Speaker 1: twenty three. Indiana's on a two game winning streak against 2023 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:29,720 Speaker 1: the Badgers. 2024 01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,519 Speaker 11: It's kind of the old adage. And I know, you know, 2025 01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:34,479 Speaker 11: we probably need a little bit more evidence than just 2026 01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:36,280 Speaker 11: a couple of years, rake, But you know, for a 2027 01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 11: year several years there, there was a lot of complaining 2028 01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,000 Speaker 11: from teams that were in the East Division of the 2029 01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,920 Speaker 11: Big Ten versus the West Division of the Big Ten. 2030 01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:46,960 Speaker 11: And you know, again, you probably need a little bit 2031 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:48,479 Speaker 11: more of a samplize, but some of that's starting to 2032 01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 11: play out of those teams that feasted out in the West. 2033 01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:55,360 Speaker 11: It's a different animal now that you've grouped everybody together. 2034 01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:57,640 Speaker 11: And you know, Indiana just got the short end of 2035 01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:01,120 Speaker 11: the stick, frankly with how that's line was drawn. And 2036 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:02,599 Speaker 11: you know, not to say that all of a sudden 2037 01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:04,800 Speaker 11: they would have, you know, whatever represented the West in 2038 01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:06,679 Speaker 11: the Big Ten title game, like Perdue did a couple 2039 01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:08,800 Speaker 11: of years back, but still a little bit more of 2040 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,559 Speaker 11: a you know, level playing field. I get you can't 2041 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:13,800 Speaker 11: get all the way there with so many teams in 2042 01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:15,960 Speaker 11: the Big Ten, but certainly the East versus West was 2043 01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 11: quite the difference in how those teams are stacked. 2044 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:19,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, there was a four year stretcher 2045 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,200 Speaker 1: was eighty three, twenty fifty nine, seven, sixty two, fourteen, 2046 01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:24,720 Speaker 1: and fifty one to three. So yeah, I remember those 2047 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,920 Speaker 1: days and the the the eighty three and the sixty 2048 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,840 Speaker 1: two are the ones that truly kind of jump off 2049 01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:32,880 Speaker 1: the page at me, and I'll I'll tell the story 2050 01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:35,760 Speaker 1: about the sixty two to fourteen game coming up here 2051 01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:38,560 Speaker 1: in just a matter of moments. Do we need to 2052 01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:40,160 Speaker 1: talk pacers at this point or can we just kind 2053 01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:41,120 Speaker 1: of push them to the side. 2054 01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:43,800 Speaker 11: Well, I'll toss in one more in the eighty three. 2055 01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:46,160 Speaker 11: You're a box score nerd like me, if I'm not 2056 01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:48,439 Speaker 11: mistake break. I think at one point it was like 2057 01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:49,120 Speaker 11: seven to. 2058 01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,000 Speaker 1: Seven, right, and that sounds not right? 2059 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,200 Speaker 11: And I want to say the scoring like didn't really 2060 01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:57,320 Speaker 11: get truly going until like early second quarter for Wisconsin, 2061 01:41:57,400 --> 01:41:59,639 Speaker 11: which is kind of crazy to look at. Yeah, Pacers, 2062 01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,360 Speaker 11: I just I mean, when Nee Smith went down last night, 2063 01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:04,600 Speaker 11: I had an audible gasp. And it wasn't because I 2064 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:07,240 Speaker 11: was looking at Nellie's diaper. It was it just just 2065 01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,160 Speaker 11: quite the scene. And we'll see what severity is on it. 2066 01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:13,599 Speaker 11: You know, it sounded like Rick Carlisle avoided the very 2067 01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:15,639 Speaker 11: serious nature. I don't know if that's the three letter 2068 01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:17,880 Speaker 11: acronym they avoided. And you know he still can this 2069 01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,360 Speaker 11: substantial time. But you know, having said that, and I know, 2070 01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:24,960 Speaker 11: like Vegas lines aren't everything by any means, but if 2071 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,200 Speaker 11: you look at you know what the expectation was going 2072 01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,679 Speaker 11: into each of these four Western Conference games, and again 2073 01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:31,679 Speaker 11: three of the four teams were on back to backs 2074 01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,200 Speaker 11: of who you just played out West, I mean, you 2075 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:36,880 Speaker 11: got ran out of the gym. Like last night the 2076 01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:39,360 Speaker 11: Pacers were like a four point underdog and they lost 2077 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:43,960 Speaker 11: by thirty and Utah they were favored and lost significantly. 2078 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:46,600 Speaker 11: So again I know that's not gospel, but you know, 2079 01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,799 Speaker 11: to me, you look at the first six or seven games, 2080 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 11: like Giannis had hit a heroic shot to beat you, 2081 01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,439 Speaker 11: you know, the thunder, it was doublet. I know the 2082 01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:56,960 Speaker 11: Brooklyn game got for me, but you know they had 2083 01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,000 Speaker 11: some chances, a wide open three. I'm trying to think 2084 01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:02,280 Speaker 11: who it was Minnesota, and maybe that Neie Smith missed. 2085 01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:04,639 Speaker 11: You know, you were very competitive in some of these 2086 01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,240 Speaker 11: earlier games. So just a disappointing trip on obviously the 2087 01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:11,519 Speaker 11: health level with Neith Smith and then certainly the product 2088 01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:14,479 Speaker 11: on the floor. So yeah, it is a big time 2089 01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,479 Speaker 11: wake up call. We'll see when ben Nickmatham returns and 2090 01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,400 Speaker 11: what's up with Neith Smith and if they can somehow 2091 01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:21,080 Speaker 11: get a win tomorrow night against the Raptors. 2092 01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:22,920 Speaker 1: All right, I'll get back to football for a final 2093 01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 1: before we let you go, actually be a dad and 2094 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:27,519 Speaker 1: enjoy a little downtime here on the Colts bye week. 2095 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:32,080 Speaker 1: Where would you wager a guess? And I use the 2096 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,880 Speaker 1: word wager on purpose Jonathan Taylor on the NFL odds 2097 01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:39,439 Speaker 1: for the odds are being the NFL MVP currently slots 2098 01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:40,920 Speaker 1: in where. 2099 01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:43,800 Speaker 5: Well, he's not. 2100 01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:46,400 Speaker 11: There's no way he's very high, or at least he 2101 01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:47,280 Speaker 11: should be higher. 2102 01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:47,679 Speaker 5: I guess. 2103 01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:51,760 Speaker 11: Probably the best way to put it, I don't know. 2104 01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:52,920 Speaker 11: I'll say he's forced. 2105 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 1: He's third. The latest projection I saw that came up yesterday. 2106 01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:00,120 Speaker 1: Can you name the two players that would be in 2107 01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:01,679 Speaker 1: front of him? 2108 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:04,599 Speaker 11: I guess the guy we saw last night and Drake May, 2109 01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:09,360 Speaker 11: and I would assume Matthew Stafford boom boom. 2110 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,840 Speaker 1: See the lack of sleep is not affecting you at all, brother, 2111 01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 1: you are on top of your game. Yes. Plus three 2112 01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:20,120 Speaker 1: hundred for Stafford and May, plus five hundred for Jonathan Taylor, 2113 01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:24,280 Speaker 1: and right now Patrick Mahomes plus six hundred Josh Allen 2114 01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:28,360 Speaker 1: plus seven hundred. That's the most update list I could 2115 01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,960 Speaker 1: find through gurgle search, and I'm sure the Internet would 2116 01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:32,320 Speaker 1: not lie to me. So there you go. 2117 01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:35,400 Speaker 11: That's a little bit better odds than I thought. To 2118 01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,160 Speaker 11: be honest with you, I mean, that's not you know 2119 01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:39,080 Speaker 11: that crazy man? You know, ten ten. 2120 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 2: Bucks to win fifty, you know? 2121 01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,559 Speaker 11: I guess I don't know. He's a little bit more 2122 01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,920 Speaker 11: in that quarterback mix. But Stafford's numbers, I didn't realize this. 2123 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,760 Speaker 11: It's like twenty touchdowns, zero picks the last four or 2124 01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:52,439 Speaker 11: five games, and so yeah, we'll see. I think he's 2125 01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:54,280 Speaker 11: gonna need, you know, a game to get flex something 2126 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,360 Speaker 11: like that, you know, go off against Kansas City when 2127 01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:57,760 Speaker 11: a lot of eyes are watching you. You know, a 2128 01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:01,439 Speaker 11: few more of those, you know, Mendoza type moment or 2129 01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,120 Speaker 11: frankly the run he had in Berlin, a few more 2130 01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,519 Speaker 11: of those, you know, kind of the standalone windows. I 2131 01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:07,960 Speaker 11: think to draw a lot of the attention. 2132 01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:11,880 Speaker 1: Again, that is Kevin Bowen, who is working when he 2133 01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:15,200 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be. Go enjoy a little bit more downtime. 2134 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,000 Speaker 1: I'll see it at some point in time next week. 2135 01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:18,479 Speaker 11: Ray have a great call. 2136 01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:19,400 Speaker 2: Tomorrow I'll be watching. 2137 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:21,439 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Appreciated. And of course, the call he's 2138 01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:24,360 Speaker 1: referring to is the mode On Bell Classic from Little 2139 01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,680 Speaker 1: Giant Stadium in Crawfordsville. While bashing De Paul for a 2140 01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:31,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty first time winner likely gets a 2141 01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:34,120 Speaker 1: Division three at large berth loser has to hear it 2142 01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:36,479 Speaker 1: from the other side for three hundred and sixty four days. 2143 01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:39,400 Speaker 1: That's the way that rivalry works. And I get to 2144 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,560 Speaker 1: be fortunate to have the call for a fifth consecutive 2145 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:47,400 Speaker 1: year via the ISC Sports NETWORKISC Sportsnetwork dot Com. You too, Twitter, Twitch, 2146 01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: I have no idea how Twitch works, but we're on there, Apple, TV, Roku, 2147 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:53,920 Speaker 1: et cetera. The various ways that you can join. Yes, 2148 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,320 Speaker 1: I went to a couple of different sites, and the 2149 01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:59,519 Speaker 1: one that had the best kind of compilation of betting 2150 01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,800 Speaker 1: sites was a website called Vegas Insider. But it pulled 2151 01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:06,120 Speaker 1: it up from like last Friday, and they showed like 2152 01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:10,920 Speaker 1: four different listings and JT was basically third or fourth 2153 01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:16,080 Speaker 1: in all of those groupings. At the time, May was 2154 01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,880 Speaker 1: slightly ahead of Stafford. The fact that he had the 2155 01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 1: stage to himself and won last night not exactly a surprise. 2156 01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 1: By the way, if you're wondering about the the stat 2157 01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:30,880 Speaker 1: compilation for everybody involved, Drake May leads the league in 2158 01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,080 Speaker 1: passing now he has played the most games, but still 2159 01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:37,679 Speaker 1: twenty eight to thirty six yards passing. You know who's 2160 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:41,400 Speaker 1: second in the NFL in passing yards right now? Daniel 2161 01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:46,519 Speaker 1: Jones of the Indianapolis Colts twenty six fifty nine. Now 2162 01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:49,760 Speaker 1: DJ's interceptions is kind of ticked up a little bit 2163 01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:53,680 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. He's at seven fifteen touchdowns, 2164 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,599 Speaker 1: seven interceptions, and a bit fewer touchdowns because well, Jonathan 2165 01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:00,240 Speaker 1: Taylor has been the touchdown vulture for everybody. Well this 2166 01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:03,160 Speaker 1: yesterday that Jonathan Taylor has actually scored more than for 2167 01:47:03,320 --> 01:47:07,680 Speaker 1: their NFL teams so far this season in terms of 2168 01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:12,519 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford fourth and passing yardage currently twenty four to 2169 01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:16,160 Speaker 1: twenty seven. But the jaw dropping stat other than where 2170 01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:19,960 Speaker 1: the Rams are in the standings, which would be seven 2171 01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,720 Speaker 1: and two because they have had the buy at the 2172 01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:28,080 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts obviously are getting theirs, but twenty five touchdowns 2173 01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:32,599 Speaker 1: and two interceptions so far for Matthew Stafford. So if 2174 01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,919 Speaker 1: you are again and frankly because he's not playing this weekend, 2175 01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:39,600 Speaker 1: JT won't be talked about. But if you're wondering the 2176 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:42,920 Speaker 1: company he is keeping in terms of the MVP race, 2177 01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,400 Speaker 1: it is Drake May, it is Matthew Stafford, and then 2178 01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:49,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of waiting on the Chiefs and Bills to 2179 01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:54,360 Speaker 1: kick it into high gear because the Bills last week 2180 01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,719 Speaker 1: somehow Someway lost the Miami Dolphins. There's always at least 2181 01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:02,280 Speaker 1: one NFL game every Sunday. Just go, how the blank 2182 01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:06,880 Speaker 1: did that just happen? And that was that game. Last week, Well, 2183 01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,240 Speaker 1: the Bills play the Buccaneers, And again Kevin was right 2184 01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:11,720 Speaker 1: to share. In one sense, it's a shame the Colts 2185 01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:14,040 Speaker 1: aren't part of this. Slave another sense, hey, good for us. 2186 01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:19,320 Speaker 1: We'll get to watch Bill's Buccaneers this week, Chargers Jaguars 2187 01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:24,880 Speaker 1: this week, Seahawks Rams this week, Chiefs Broncos this week, 2188 01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:28,640 Speaker 1: Lions Eagles this week. You know what's not good? The 2189 01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:31,680 Speaker 1: Monday night football game. Like your grandpa thinks, this is 2190 01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:34,880 Speaker 1: going to be a great game, because when Don Meredith 2191 01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:36,880 Speaker 1: was calling this game, it was a great game. But 2192 01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:40,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Raiders are the Monday night football game. 2193 01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:43,920 Speaker 1: The has been Bowl is the Monday night game coming 2194 01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,320 Speaker 1: up later this weekend. Now, I have promised you a 2195 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:51,120 Speaker 1: little more conversation about Wisconsin and Indiana, and I'll tell 2196 01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:57,840 Speaker 1: it to you here. So again, Indiana, barring something of calamity, 2197 01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:00,000 Speaker 1: they're playing in the state of Indiana the next two games. 2198 01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:02,160 Speaker 1: They have a bye week in between. They have two 2199 01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 1: games left to go. The combined number of big ten 2200 01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,519 Speaker 1: wins between the two teams they are playing is one 2201 01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:11,479 Speaker 1: and Wisconsin got it last week, and as Kevin just said, 2202 01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:15,519 Speaker 1: their leading passer was their punter in their win last week. 2203 01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,960 Speaker 1: Indiana should will be in the Big Ten Championship game 2204 01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:24,200 Speaker 1: for the first time. There was a scenario last year 2205 01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,320 Speaker 1: that could have played out. It didn't because they lost 2206 01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:30,679 Speaker 1: to Ohio State. Before that, the last time they could 2207 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:32,280 Speaker 1: have been in the Big Ten Championship game was the 2208 01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:33,920 Speaker 1: COVID year, and I'm not sure any of that actually 2209 01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:37,280 Speaker 1: happened the time before that, when we actually had twelve 2210 01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,000 Speaker 1: teams in the conference and it was six teams in 2211 01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:45,160 Speaker 1: a division in twenty twelve, Indiana's division included Penn State 2212 01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:48,360 Speaker 1: and Ohio State are both on probation and could not 2213 01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:50,960 Speaker 1: play in the game. But at the time it wasn't 2214 01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:53,240 Speaker 1: fully East and West like they tried to mix and 2215 01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:58,439 Speaker 1: match the teams for competitive balance, and Wisconsin was in 2216 01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:03,240 Speaker 1: the same division as was the Indiana Hoosiers, and there 2217 01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:07,040 Speaker 1: was a scenario at play when the Badgers came to 2218 01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:12,599 Speaker 1: Bloomington November tenth of twenty twelve that if Indiana had 2219 01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:14,800 Speaker 1: won that game and had won out, I think they 2220 01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:16,760 Speaker 1: would have put them at seven and five. I think 2221 01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,200 Speaker 1: they'd have given four or five Big Ten wins and 2222 01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:21,880 Speaker 1: they would have won their division of the Big Ten 2223 01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:27,280 Speaker 1: and played in the conference championship game. So nobody thought 2224 01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:30,240 Speaker 1: that Indiana team was really all that good. But hey, 2225 01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,880 Speaker 1: through luck of the draw, you just might back your 2226 01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:37,040 Speaker 1: way into a Big Ten championship game. And on that day, 2227 01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:42,040 Speaker 1: Wisconsin came to Bloomington and scored sixty two points. Well, 2228 01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:48,080 Speaker 1: the Hoosiers scored fourteen. Again. Before the COVID season, it 2229 01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:54,519 Speaker 1: was eighteen years since Indiana had beaten Wisconsin, and that 2230 01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:59,760 Speaker 1: was a stunning home game, first year of Jerry DeNardo 2231 01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:05,759 Speaker 1: win against Wisconsin. The year before that, it was Levron 2232 01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:10,519 Speaker 1: Williams Antoine Randall l running all over Camp Randall as 2233 01:51:10,560 --> 01:51:14,800 Speaker 1: Indiana won sixty three to thirty two. Other than that, 2234 01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:19,600 Speaker 1: you got to go back to nineteen ninety two, the 2235 01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:21,640 Speaker 1: last time that Indiana beat the Badgers, and again, back 2236 01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,960 Speaker 1: in those days, Indiana winning against Wisconsin was kind of 2237 01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,559 Speaker 1: sort of a regular thing. Everybody winning against Wisconsin back 2238 01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:32,679 Speaker 1: in those days was kind of sort of a regular thing. Again, 2239 01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:41,120 Speaker 1: history favors Wisconsin in this matchup. Current roster resume obviously, 2240 01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:45,599 Speaker 1: features Indiana in this matchup. It is crazy to think 2241 01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:49,040 Speaker 1: that Wisconsin comes here for Indiana and it's Wisconsin that 2242 01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:51,960 Speaker 1: is the speed bump and not the other way around. 2243 01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:54,880 Speaker 1: Who's yours of course tomorrow in action at Nune and 2244 01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:56,880 Speaker 1: you catch all the action right here on ninety three 2245 01:51:56,920 --> 01:51:58,880 Speaker 1: to five and one oh seven to five of the 2246 01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:02,639 Speaker 1: Fan I at Devis segment off It's a feel good Friday. 2247 01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:05,080 Speaker 1: I feel good the Jay Query tape, this segment a 2248 01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:08,680 Speaker 1: great story.

But folks want to again 2260 01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:38,479 Speaker 3: remind you before I get to an awesome story from 2261 01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:42,080 Speaker 3: the south side of Indianapolis. About Franciscan Health, the number 2262 01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:45,000 Speaker 3: one heart program in Indiana for cardiology by health grades, 2263 01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:48,200 Speaker 3: number one in Indiana for interventional cronary care and major 2264 01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:52,679 Speaker 3: cardiac surgery by care checks, and Franciscan Health always offering 2265 01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,240 Speaker 3: that affordable heart scan for just forty nine dollars. You 2266 01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,680 Speaker 3: can self refer, you can pay out a pocket you 2267 01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,519 Speaker 3: get a free heart health risk assessment with every scan 2268 01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:03,519 Speaker 3: that's included with the screening. You can't afford to not 2269 01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:06,559 Speaker 3: get it, especially if you are over the age of 2270 01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,679 Speaker 3: forty and you have one of the following risk factors 2271 01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:14,439 Speaker 3: for heart disease high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, if 2272 01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:16,720 Speaker 3: you're a current or former smoker, or if you have 2273 01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:19,320 Speaker 3: a family heart history that is not the best that 2274 01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:22,040 Speaker 3: would be the case for me, then you would qualify 2275 01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:24,200 Speaker 3: for the heart scan of Franciscan Health. But I recommend 2276 01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:26,640 Speaker 3: it for about everybody. As a matter of fact, just 2277 01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:30,080 Speaker 3: got a text earlier this week from a listener that 2278 01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:32,519 Speaker 3: some message said, Jake wanted to let you know that 2279 01:53:32,600 --> 01:53:35,400 Speaker 3: I got my heart scan done, which is I'm always 2280 01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:39,160 Speaker 3: happy to hear about that, and in this particular case, 2281 01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:42,360 Speaker 3: the heart scan was such that needed to then go 2282 01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:46,680 Speaker 3: onto a statin. And that's the thing. Anytime that we 2283 01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:51,759 Speaker 3: are taking the ability to take somebody and then find 2284 01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:53,920 Speaker 3: out that they're going in for that heart scan that's 2285 01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:56,000 Speaker 3: routine because they heard about it here, and then find 2286 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:58,400 Speaker 3: out that yes, they are able to get the first 2287 01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:01,719 Speaker 3: steps towards cardiovascular health and the healthier living, then that's 2288 01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:04,080 Speaker 3: what I love. Forty nine dollars heart scan at Princiscanhealth 2289 01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:07,519 Speaker 3: dot org slash screening bundles, or you can always call 2290 01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:10,800 Speaker 3: eight three three two three eight zero six eight eight. 2291 01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:13,639 Speaker 3: I'll give that number again here in just a second. 2292 01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:15,840 Speaker 3: But our feel good story, let's go back to what 2293 01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:18,640 Speaker 3: took place at the end of last week, over the 2294 01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:21,200 Speaker 3: weekend as a matter of fact, and think about your 2295 01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:24,320 Speaker 3: senior year in high school. What a special time it is. 2296 01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:26,800 Speaker 3: You're with your friends, and you know, there's always kind 2297 01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:30,280 Speaker 3: of that apprehension, right, that uncertainty of not knowing what's 2298 01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,120 Speaker 3: going to happen beyond high school, what's gonna happen to 2299 01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:34,800 Speaker 3: your friendships, the bonds that you have, and you want 2300 01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,160 Speaker 3: to make sure that you are taking the most of 2301 01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:42,040 Speaker 3: every opportunity, taking advantage of each thing that comes along 2302 01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:45,520 Speaker 3: the way. So imagine what it must be like, even 2303 01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:47,800 Speaker 3: though you have won a state title before, to be 2304 01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:50,080 Speaker 3: an athlete as a senior in high school and be 2305 01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:52,680 Speaker 3: so excited about your senior year because even if you 2306 01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:56,200 Speaker 3: want a title as a junior, sophomore, freshman, your senior 2307 01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:59,200 Speaker 3: year like, that's your year, that's your class, right. And 2308 01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:03,600 Speaker 3: with Ron Colli volleyball, you know, Christina Erasmus, their head coach, 2309 01:55:03,720 --> 01:55:06,680 Speaker 3: knew that she had a special team before her, and 2310 01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:11,400 Speaker 3: she knew that her senior center Addie Haberthy, was a 2311 01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:13,640 Speaker 3: special player that was going to be one of those seniors. 2312 01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:15,560 Speaker 3: And Addie obviously wanted to make sure that she was 2313 01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:18,200 Speaker 3: putting her stamp on the program on her way out 2314 01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:21,640 Speaker 3: as a senior. So imagine for Addie and Addie Haveberthy, 2315 01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,800 Speaker 3: the disappointment, the heartbreak that had to have taken place 2316 01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:28,120 Speaker 3: just before the start of her senior year back actually 2317 01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:30,879 Speaker 3: late summer for that matter, when she tears her acl 2318 01:55:31,960 --> 01:55:35,120 Speaker 3: and yes, Addie has a volleyball scholarship to Zavia knew 2319 01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:36,880 Speaker 3: that the sport was going to be something she could 2320 01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:40,920 Speaker 3: continue beyond the time that she was at Ron Colly. 2321 01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:43,720 Speaker 3: But again back to that bond and knowing that you 2322 01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:47,040 Speaker 3: are with your teammates from high school, it is so special. 2323 01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:49,880 Speaker 3: So they go into the state finals, does ron collye, 2324 01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:52,520 Speaker 3: and Christina says, you know what, if we get into 2325 01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:57,160 Speaker 3: the situation where we have a match point, then perhaps 2326 01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:59,120 Speaker 3: Addie can be the one to come out and get 2327 01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:02,480 Speaker 3: the serve that wins us in her senior year the 2328 01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:05,760 Speaker 3: volleyball state championship. The rest of the teammates, of course, 2329 01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:07,560 Speaker 3: have to do their part to get them to that point. 2330 01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:11,560 Speaker 3: They have to believe in ADDIE's ability to deliver that serve. 2331 01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:15,839 Speaker 3: And in addition to that, you have, of course Bishop Dwinger, 2332 01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:18,800 Speaker 3: a formidable opponent right on the other side that is 2333 01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:21,200 Speaker 3: doing what they can to make sure that it doesn't 2334 01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:23,600 Speaker 3: come down to the point where it is that easy 2335 01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:26,280 Speaker 3: or that certain that there would be one point with 2336 01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:29,440 Speaker 3: things right there and Dweer give them credit, they rallied 2337 01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:32,320 Speaker 3: in that third set down two sets to love before 2338 01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:34,360 Speaker 3: ron colly was then able to get enough of a 2339 01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:37,120 Speaker 3: cushion that when it would come down to the match point, 2340 01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:40,480 Speaker 3: that Addie would go in to serve. Now, the other 2341 01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:42,440 Speaker 3: thing that Christina had to think about was the fact 2342 01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,480 Speaker 3: that you have to practice at least ten practices over 2343 01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:47,920 Speaker 3: the course of the season to be eligible to play 2344 01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:50,760 Speaker 3: in the state final, and Addie was able to do that. 2345 01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:54,400 Speaker 3: She practiced the ten practices with the torn acl put 2346 01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:57,320 Speaker 3: herself in position and then once she got the serve 2347 01:56:57,360 --> 01:56:59,560 Speaker 3: over and you can imagine the nerves that went with that, 2348 01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:03,280 Speaker 3: then the rest of the team had to deliver and 2349 01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:05,720 Speaker 3: they did exactly that. Lily Jones got the kill that 2350 01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:09,000 Speaker 3: won Ron Collie the state title, and it was Addie 2351 01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:13,280 Speaker 3: that was able to get that game, that match, that 2352 01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:17,120 Speaker 3: championship winning serve. It is the kind of story that 2353 01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:20,720 Speaker 3: is about resilience, about teamwork, about camaraderie, and about belief. 2354 01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:23,520 Speaker 3: And that's what I love about our Franciscan Health Feel 2355 01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:26,720 Speaker 3: Good good for the Heart story, because sometimes it's about 2356 01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:30,280 Speaker 3: thinking above and beyond what's in the now, but rather 2357 01:57:30,360 --> 01:57:33,680 Speaker 3: seeing in your future and putting yourself in position to 2358 01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,040 Speaker 3: be at the best when it matters most. That's what 2359 01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:38,640 Speaker 3: I love about the Franciscan Health forty nine dollars heart Scan. 2360 01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:41,280 Speaker 3: That's also what I love about the fact that coming 2361 01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:45,280 Speaker 3: up December the seventh, don't forget our Franciscan Health November 2362 01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:48,200 Speaker 3: celebration celebrating men's health for the month of November.

It's still for me the best atmosphere locally 2400 01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:32,560 Speaker 1: in terms of high school football because the way they've 2401 01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,000 Speaker 1: kind of horseshoed that placeoff and being up on the 2402 01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:38,360 Speaker 1: hilltop and just they're always good.

Winner gets to have the bell. 2419 02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:34,440 Speaker 1: If Wabash wins it, it's back on their campus for 2420 02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:38,720 Speaker 1: the first time in four years. If DePaul wins it, 2421 02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:41,640 Speaker 1: it continues what has been their longest winning streak in 2422 02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:46,160 Speaker 1: this series for twenty five years and sends them to 2423 02:00:46,200 --> 02:00:51,920 Speaker 1: the postseason, likely for a fifth consecutive year.

However, 2466 02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:13,960 Speaker 1: I have noticed this trend being documented on social media today, 2467 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,600 Speaker 1: So allow me to share with you my experience and 2468 02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:21,600 Speaker 1: we'll welcome in John at that point in time.

November fourteenth, nineteen eighty six is when the 2471 02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:38,440 Speaker 1: movie debuted in theaters. My story with Hoosiers has gone 2472 02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:40,400 Speaker 1: on now for forty years. Like I'm sure many of 2473 02:03:40,480 --> 02:03:42,840 Speaker 1: you feel the same, but maybe I can add a 2474 02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:45,800 Speaker 1: little bit of a level to it. First of all, 2475 02:03:46,720 --> 02:03:49,760 Speaker 1: I found out about the movie there was a flyer 2476 02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:52,480 Speaker 1: on my dad's car or truck. I forget what he 2477 02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:54,720 Speaker 1: was driving back in the fall of eighty six. My 2478 02:03:54,720 --> 02:03:57,240 Speaker 1: guests would be a pickup truck, probably a Ford Ranger, 2479 02:03:57,840 --> 02:03:59,520 Speaker 1: maybe is the one of the old Ford F one 2480 02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:03,560 Speaker 1: fifties what he had back in the day. But we 2481 02:04:03,680 --> 02:04:06,240 Speaker 1: went to go watch. How's this for a specific memory. 2482 02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Cordon opened up a new gym in eighty six. It 2483 02:04:11,600 --> 02:04:15,600 Speaker 1: was christened by the University of Louisville. Having a practice 2484 02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:19,120 Speaker 1: in that gym and The place was packed because U 2485 02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:22,440 Speaker 1: of L were the defending NCAA champions at the time. 2486 02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:25,680 Speaker 1: And I grew up not the case now, but I 2487 02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:30,760 Speaker 1: grew up as a massive University of Louisville fan, not 2488 02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:33,000 Speaker 1: I U, not UK, because you had one of three 2489 02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:35,480 Speaker 1: options back then. Sorry, pertty was an option unless you 2490 02:04:35,480 --> 02:04:37,680 Speaker 1: went to school there in that part of the state. 2491 02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:41,240 Speaker 1: U of L was my team, all right, So going 2492 02:04:41,280 --> 02:04:45,680 Speaker 1: to see them was awesome. And then as we leave, 2493 02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,760 Speaker 1: there's a piece of paper on Dad's truck. Hey, the 2494 02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:56,400 Speaker 1: movie Hoosier's debuts next week at the Cordon Twin Cinemas. 2495 02:04:56,880 --> 02:04:59,040 Speaker 1: We had one movie house and had two screens in 2496 02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:01,720 Speaker 1: Harrison County, and I remember going to see that movie 2497 02:05:01,720 --> 02:05:05,280 Speaker 1: for the first time and being absolutely mesmerized. And again, 2498 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:07,720 Speaker 1: because I grew up in the single class era, you 2499 02:05:07,840 --> 02:05:11,480 Speaker 1: watch that that was your dream. Unfortunately didn't work out 2500 02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:13,800 Speaker 1: that way for Lanesville. We were mostly good when I 2501 02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:16,800 Speaker 1: was in high school, but never could slay the giants 2502 02:05:16,840 --> 02:05:20,040 Speaker 1: of New Albany or Floyd Central to get past the 2503 02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:24,640 Speaker 1: sectional round.
