1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Best of the Fan Morning show

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five the

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Fan Happy thirtieth to my man James point over. People

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: are already offering, Hey, what's your venmo, Let's send him

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: some happy birthday stuff, and you are very politely like,

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: hey man, I just want some good wishes.

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I never do that. No disrepect anybody who

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: does it. That's their thing. But yeah, I can't be

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: asking for money out hear I get paid.

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: Wait, people do that fine class.

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they throw their uh.

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: I think that's honestly a younger generation thing where they

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: turn a certain age and they say, you know, wish

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 2: me have birthday and they drop the vemo and you'd

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: be expected to give you cash for your birthday, which

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it makes sense if it's family

17
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: who might do that for you. But no, for those listening,

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: I will not ask you for money. I'm very glad

19
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: that you're listening, though I would ask you to keep listening.

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: That's about it.

21
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I could speak for all the handle here.

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: None of us, in terms of social media scams and everything.

23
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Nobody here is going to ever ask you for money.

24
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Unless it's to go to like an official fundraising thing

25
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: for the Salvation Army that we're doing later on this

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: month with WIBC, where you can actually go officially to

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: a site and see what's going on there. Kevin's like,

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm starting to think about this now

29
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: all of a sudden.

30
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: No, I don't back for a couple you know, I'm

31
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: still stunned by what James just told me.

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: No, a lot of content creators will have like a

33
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: link there in their profile, like by that's.

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: What I am now, okay, on the radio grind and

35
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: and writing and all the platform content creator.

36
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: We're the original content creator. You create a massive amount

37
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: of content every week.

38
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Yes, so drop the vemo, Kevin Bowen, I got to

39
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: create that tip jar let's go.

40
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: James, you're going. No umbrella, you said, And Jackson.

41
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: No umbrella. I don't bring umbrellas anywhere. Okay. Two things

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: that I just don't have or probably will never buy less.

43
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm forced. Maybe the significant other in years to come

44
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: will force me. But snow boots, I will never wear

45
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: those again in my life. I hated him when I

46
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: was growing up. I feel like I was a lamest kid.

47
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: Ever when I ever had to wear them the school

48
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: and we're not in Siberia. You got a couple a

49
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: little bit of snow, get to the school, You're fine,

50
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: and umbrellas. I feel like I'm never walking outside long

51
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: enough for me to have an umbrella.

52
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: Sunday's forecast in Jacksonville showers early, becoming a steady rain

53
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: later in the day. Potential for heavy rainfall. Rainfall possibly

54
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 3: over one inch. I'll bring the like the rain parka Colt.

55
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: I got a couple of Nike hoodies that are like that,

56
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: So I'll bring that and I'll be fine.

57
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: Rain better for the Colts with the Jags.

58
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: Oh, good question. I'll probably go Colts. They can run it.

59
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: JT still an MVP caliber player, just needs to get

60
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: unlocked a little bit with this offensive line.

61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: Old line's gotta give him some help here. Let me

62
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: ask you guys this.

63
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this on the on the way

64
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: in this morning, in the non Jonathan Taylor, non star

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: realm for the Colts. Who really needs to have a

66
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: good football game on Sunday?

67
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Off the line? Yeah, I said it earlier. Again, I

68
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: think the whipped the Colts up front in this whatever

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: decade long streak down there, And yeah, I think that

70
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: is the number one key for me. And you know,

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: Jacksonville a little banged up on their offensive line. They'll

72
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: be likely without their left tackle. They're also gonna be

73
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: without their leading snap guy on defense, one of their

74
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: starting safeties. So basically, if you put that into Colts terms,

75
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: you're looking at like a Bernard Ryman Zire Franklin loss

76
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: in a game. I would say that's rather notable. I obviously,

77
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: I know the Colts are dealing with their own injuries

78
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: with Buckner and him Sauce Gardner, but still Jacksonville gonna

79
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: be a little banged up. But yeah, I just boiled

80
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: down to the trenches.

81
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of the trenches, I keep waiting and waiting and waiting.

82
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Is there a breakout game in sight and a consistent

83
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: breakout game in sight? Consistent consistency being the key for

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot too.

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

86
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, I know he has what the three interceptions and

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: the most in a single season for a coach defensive lineman.

88
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: That to me is like an anomaly. He made a

89
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: great play, don't get me wrong, against Patrick Mahomes a

90
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. But when I look at his career.

91
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: We might look up at the end of it and

92
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: say he never got another interception again, cause it's just

93
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: kind of weird, like that you paid him and you

94
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: drafted him that high because you want him to get

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: after the quarterback and he doesn't do that on a

96
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: consistent basis. And what's weird about it is Kevin We

97
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: were talking about this actually with Mike Chapel shout out

98
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: to the Dean Fox fifty nine in the media room yesterday,

99
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: and he's on the list of all of the pressures

100
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: and you know, time to get after the quarterback and

101
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: QB hits, but it's not sacks. It's so weird that

102
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: he can't finish plays. And to a degree, I'm not

103
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: saying he's like a complete bus or anything. I think

104
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Abdul Carter in New York for the Giants is what

105
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: you would call a bus. So far, I think he

106
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: has one and a half sacks through thirteen fourteen games.

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: Latchwo's been fine, but that's not good enough for a

108
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: first round picking. Hi would be a disruptor and a

109
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: game changer, and really that's the next step I think

110
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 2: for this defense to take a leap, especially in the

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: absence of DeForest Buckner.

112
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: Well, one thing too about Lat two is when you

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: drafted him, you know he was pretty ready made in

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: the sense of he produced at a high level in college.

115
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: A little bit of an older player as well. You know,

116
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: sometimes you see pass rushers drafted in round one and

117
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: you're drafting a little bit more on potential, a little

118
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: bit more on Hey, they maybe didn't have the crazy

119
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: eye poppy numbers, but we think we can kind of

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: mold that clay. That was not really the thought with

121
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Lot two. I mean, the thought was he would walk

122
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: into the NFL and, compared to most young pass rushers,

123
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: would be able to give you pretty instant impact. And yeah,

124
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: I think you're just left wanting a little bit more

125
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: in the finishing of plays department.

126
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have to get some kind of

127
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: pressure on Trevor Lawrence, I think, to to make this

128
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: run down the stretch, and it starts on Sunday against

129
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, and you'd like, I keep I don't know,

130
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I keep waiting for him to have like that two

131
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: sack day where he starts to maybe build on that

132
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: and get some confidence and show himself that hey, I

133
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: could be a game disruptor beyond just use great play

134
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: against Kansas City. But that's why he was brought here

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: to be that guy, right, I mean, I don't think

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: you expect him to necessarily be like Miles Garrett, but

137
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him be a guy that puts

138
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: consistent pressure on the defense or the offense.

139
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: Who's the better player at their position? Miles Garrett or

140
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys kicker. Is the Dallas Cowboys kicker the

141
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: greatest player in the NFL?

142
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Right? Now? Are you allowed to ever choose a kicker

143
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: over any defensive player? Like that thing?

144
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: You just compare that player to the rest of position.

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: You compare that player to the rest of his position.

146
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: Is Brandon Aubrey that much better than everybody else at

147
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: his position? I think Miles Garrett would be the only

148
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: other player.

149
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 5: I'm still taking Miles, but yeah, yeah, but like it's

150
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: a good question in my opinion.

151
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: And I say that in all seriousness.

152
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: So you're saying, like him and the gap between the

153
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,119
Speaker 2: next person, So you're compared to his quarterbacks, comparing Jonathan

154
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: Taylor to all the running back You might be right,

155
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: because I was looking at him and I was like, boy,

156
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: did you see that how many sixty sixty two?

157
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: Last night?

158
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

159
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: I was thinking like, how many teams would you know

160
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: trade a pick for him? I'm dead serious, Like, if

161
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: you're a playoff team and you know you're gonna get

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: into the get into the dance, if you could give

163
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: up a Day two pick, would you do it to

164
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: ensure that you have the best.

165
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: Kicking round pick to trade for a kick second or

166
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: third round pick? The dude, zacht go.

167
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: I'm serious.

168
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 2: If you're the New England Patriots, if you're the Denver Broncos,

169
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: you're like, you know what we might act? I just

170
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: got that going to run here? We needed we didn't

171
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: make sure we, you know, top some loose ends.

172
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: I want a soccer player, another Dame Brandon Aubrey. By

173
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: the way, we have the FIFA World Cup drawl. Are

174
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: you guys into the World Cup at all?

175
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: That's coming up later on today?

176
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 6: Man?

177
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: They making this star studded today, aren't they?

178
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: At noon today? So the United States will find out

179
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: who was in their group we've already called flied. Why

180
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: because we're hosting? That sounds a little Is.

181
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: That the only reason? Seriously?

182
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hilarious, But yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

183
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: I think.

184
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: I enjoy watching what everyone else is kind of locked into,

185
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: which is why I watched the World Series and stayed

186
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: up that one night super late to see how it

187
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: ended or was it eighteen innings or whatever it is.

188
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: So I think seeing the excitement from the different fan base,

189
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: especially the countries, is always something that I don't want to.

190
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: Miss out on. Yeah.

191
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: So, and then just the moment. I mean, it's what's

192
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: once every four years, man, So if you miss it

193
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: or if you make the moment, it's always pretty exciting.

194
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: I was doing some research over the weekend. Lou Annaarumo's

195
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: defenses have beaten the Jacksonville Jaguars four consecutive games, dating

196
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty. Does that matter? Does that mean anything?

197
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence struggling against lou I'll.

198
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: Have to go back and look at what his numbers

199
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: actually are.

200
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: They've scored some points, but they've come up short.

201
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: They've scored Yeah, I thought I looked up in earlier

202
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: in the week twenty one and thirty one. I think

203
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: the totals with Lawrence as quarterback. I guess some of

204
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: those games maybe includes not Trevor Lawrence a quarterback.

205
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah last year though, think so Yeah, I.

206
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: Mean twenty one and thirty one those striking me as

207
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: decent point totals of you average that out?

208
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's only three games because the list

209
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: I was included the matchup between the Bengals and Jacksonville

210
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: this year. Obviously it wasn't the defensive coordinator Ben, but

211
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: at least he's come up on the right side of

212
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: things against them the last three times he's played them. James,

213
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I'm looking for anything right now because

214
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: I still think that the cults are a bit better.

215
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: I think they have the opportunity to right themselves. Daniel Jones,

216
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: did he look like he was moving any better with

217
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: with with helping Australia? Could you really tell? Could you

218
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: see anything?

219
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: He looked better than he did a week ago? From yesterday?

220
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: For sure?

221
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: But at the same time genius analysis from James Boyd

222
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: here tune in people. You always look a little better

223
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: when you don't have big people diving at your leg.

224
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: So how does it feel on Sunday?

225
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: Look, I mean I legitimately and James, you obviously had

226
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: that video last I think if you compare the last

227
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: Thursday video to this Thursday. He definitely looks better.

228
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely.

229
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 3: I don't think it's by any means. You know, if

230
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: you really want to dissect the video, you still see

231
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: that foot dragon a little bit and that you definitely

232
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: and I think in the video that you had James,

233
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: you saw like a noticeable limp after Yeah, the specifics

234
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 3: he don't want to put on his leg last week,

235
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: whereas this week I didn't notice that as much. Yesterday.

236
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 4: Well, his former college teammated gave him a bionic leg.

237
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.

238
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: He's like, well Smith and I robot.

239
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Maybe the confidence is just up to the education.

240
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 6: I don't know.

241
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: Confidence that might be might not be enough to fix

242
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: your fibula. I think it's drugs and a nice pad.

243
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean confidence in that sometimes when when it's new

244
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: and you're trying to deal with it and what's this

245
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: going to be like and how's it going to react?

246
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: I think you are initially a lot more protective of

247
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: it as opposed to you start to get more comfortable.

248
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: Now you've got that little little uh device that is

249
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: that is former duke roommate built that that's maybe giving

250
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: him support and maybe he doesn't feel like it hurts

251
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: as much as it did. I'm just saying maybe he

252
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: feels a lot more comfortable with this.

253
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: Is like when Nathan Brown shout out to Nathan Brown,

254
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: I love his work at any Star New Colts Beat reporter.

255
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: He did ask Daniel Jones earlier this week, is it

256
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: almost beneficial to get hit in the leg so you

257
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: know you can take a hit? And Daniel looked at

258
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: him and was like, Nope, not necessarily.

259
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: I was waiting for dam Sell's feel like that is

260
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: an idiotical I think.

261
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: He probably met it in the vein of a lot

262
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: of players say that they don't feel like they really

263
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: get juiced into the game until they take that.

264
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: I think it's the confidence thing, like Kate Ken, you know,

265
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: am I not going to like freak out if I

266
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: get hit? But I was thinking he's probably, you know,

267
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: willing to avoid testing that theory out.

268
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 3: Better chance the streaking Jacksonville ends or the streak over

269
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: Ohio State ends.

270
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: Oh, Jacksonville for sure, Jacksonville for sure.

271
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 5: I feel like Kevin is just a master with these questions.

272
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: Every question people talk about the Jacksonville thing is a curse?

273
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: Is the Ohio State thing a curse? Or I think

274
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 3: it's been a lot better.

275
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 4: That's occur I think that's just a different level than

276
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: thirty years about it.

277
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: I just think tomorrow night is such a awesome feeling

278
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: for a fan because it's house money, Like it's one

279
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: versus two, but the ramifications if you lose, like usually

280
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: when you talk about the biggest game in your fandom's history,

281
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: there are some heartbreak on the other side of that.

282
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, there are tears if the result doesn't

283
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: go your way. Season's overval the other rival wins. You know,

284
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, the dream is done. Like, no matter

285
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: what happens tomorrow night, in three weeks, Indiana's football team

286
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: will go out there and play a game where if

287
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: they win that game, there'll be one game away from

288
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: the national championship. Look, that's a dream. This is house money,

289
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: this is beauty. You are in Vegas and somehow you

290
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: have smartly put all your other chips in a bag

291
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 3: and you're still playing with a ton of them and

292
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: you're out money. Like, there's no negative. Again, I don't

293
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: think they'll fall out of the bye because who is

294
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: at five? Who's at five? Is it Orgon Oregon? Yeah,

295
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: you're not falling behind Oregon. You beat Oregon at Oregon.

296
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: I just think it's the ideal dream scenario for Indiana,

297
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 3: along with the you could end obviously the thirty year streak,

298
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 3: and you can win a Big Ten title and you

299
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: could be then in one team in the land.

300
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: That's what somebody in the YouTube Chet said. It's deverse.

301
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's diversus.

302
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: Four point spread. Let's not act like this.

303
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: This is an Avalacian state trying to knock off Michigan

304
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: years ago.

305
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons they're getting a

306
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: lot more respect this year too, is when you look

307
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: at the way that they've been winning games like this

308
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: is a team that, like most great college football teams,

309
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: they are physical upfront on both sides of the ball,

310
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: and they have speed at the skilled positions. James, they

311
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: really truly do.

312
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: You ain't gotta tell me I own a pair of

313
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: candy strip pants because they blitzed my team about a thousand. So,

314
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: assuming Illinois is not Ohio State on that level, it

315
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: should be a closer game come tomorrow night, but big matchup,

316
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: a lot at stake, and I think it will be

317
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: honestly really cool to see if you can knock off

318
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: big brother for a change.

319
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Drew from Avon says Jacksonville for sure. Kevin,

320
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: I unfortunately believe that IU loses by fourteen plus. Hope

321
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But there are a lot of people that

322
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: I think are almost afraid to think that that. I

323
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: use actually on an Ohio State National Championship live level,

324
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't that.

325
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 5: I think Kevin, you're hitting a great point because I

326
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: think when you hear Ohio State, okay, full disclosure from Ohio,

327
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 5: a lot of Buckeye friends, I myself may or may not.

328
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Even throw you out of the show. It's okay, I'm

329
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw you off the show.

330
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: Hey, what I'm saying is like you hear Ryan Day

331
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: talk like they had three goals, beat Michigan, win the

332
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: Big Ten Championship, win a national championship, like both teams

333
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 5: care about this game tomorrow, and all the talk about

334
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 5: well what are the conference sh baby chips really mean? Like,

335
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 5: you're right, you have this rare scenario where both teams

336
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 5: are in they're okay.

337
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: No matter what.

338
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 5: But both teams care about this game a lot, and

339
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: so I can't wait to watch I think it's gonna

340
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: be awesome.

341
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one thing too. We talked a little bit

342
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: about it yesterday. You know Indiana's big moments last year,

343
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: Kurtzyny pointed out, you know, road environments where he felt

344
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: like they just didn't meet the moment. You know, again,

345
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: I think tomorrow will be a heavy Indiana crowd in there.

346
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: And then once again in the neutral site games, you're

347
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: not gonna have that. Remember how much Signetti was upset

348
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: with how they handled the noise at Ohio State. He

349
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: didn't point necessarily to the noise I think in South Bend,

350
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: but more just whatever. They weren't ready to face a

351
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: team of that of that quality or however you want

352
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: to label it. That thought shouldn't be there on the

353
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: neutral fields. And again, I don't think tomorrow night is

354
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: going to be a neutral field.

355
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: You still think seventies. I'm leaning more towards you. You've

356
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: been saying seventy thirty all along. I think we were

357
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: saying James sixty five.

358
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: I mean, we're not going to be able to tell

359
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: by the old Ariel shot. I don't know Scarlet different than.

360
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Get up in the corner of Lucas Royle focusing on

361
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: the entire stadium.

362
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: It's on.

363
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna pause the TV and start counting by Hey,

364
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: you have to have your color palette out.

365
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: Okay, what's Crimson? What's great?

366
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: That's a James boy Saturday night right there. I'm gonna

367
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: pause the screen and just start counting.

368
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy? I agree to do like some

369
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: radio interview during that game. So boy, uh, they better

370
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: be ready for some loud people in the back.

371
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: Of real journalism.

372
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were asking, you want to come on and

373
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: talk about coltson you know Jaguar? Sure, And I did

374
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: not think about the time.

375
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: Third time ever we've gotten one versus two in the

376
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: Big Ten?

377
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Who are the other two times?

378
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 6: Uh?

379
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: Michigan Ohio State in six That was I remember that

380
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: one iconic game, and neither James nor I out of

381
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: the womb. Jeff, you recall Iowa Michigan in nineteen eighty five.

382
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who the quarterback would have been.

383
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: Iowa that year.

384
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember, but I don't have sparkling memories of it.

385
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 5: I want to guess the score that's got That's sounds

386
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 5: like a seven to six game.

387
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: Ten to seven game, Steel Toad kicker makes the field goal.

388
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: You know what, though, for all the talk and the

389
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: height that the SEC gets, you know that the highest

390
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: rated games the last couple of years have still been

391
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State Michigan at noon.

392
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: Well it's the game, yeah, for sure.

393
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: But I mean you like that. You think again, like,

394
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: there's the SEC championship game this weekend Alabama Georgia. You know,

395
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: you think as rabbit as people are in that area

396
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: that it would go on. But eighteen point four million

397
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: viewers this past week from Michigan Ohio State. That's not shabby.

398
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: That is not too shabby. It's a lot of folks

399
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: watching TV.

400
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: You know what, there's a little bit of random overlap here.

401
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: We brought up Kenny Moore, the second being the Walter

402
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: Payton Man of the Year, Ohio State's defense being led

403
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: by Matt Patricia. I was talking to Kenny in the

404
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: locker room yesterday and he said, Matt Patricia, when he

405
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: joined the league and was over in New England, was

406
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: one of the coaches that really told him he had

407
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 2: a shot to be good in the NFL and told him, hey,

408
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: just put your head down and work grind and if

409
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: you do that good things will happen. So I wonder

410
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: where Kenny's allegiance kind of lies this upcoming Saturday night.

411
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 3: Well, that is one of the bigger differences from last

412
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: year's meeting is Ohio State. They get their defensive coordinator

413
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: Jim Miles now was at Penn State. Ironically enough, that

414
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: was kind of a big drama in the off season

415
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: here and Patricia's new to Ryan Day's staff and Ohio

416
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: State's defensive stork has put up some historic numbers here.

417
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 3: But again, their offense coordinator Brian Hartline just took the

418
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: job with South Florida there, and I think, you know,

419
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: Caleb just laid out, you know how Ryan Day views

420
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 3: the importance of goals. I do think that emotional hangover

421
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: could be real. I mean, Michigan is Michigan. You know,

422
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: beating Michigan's a little different than beating Perdue fifty whatever

423
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: to the hell that score was last Friday night. Indiana

424
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: has been circling the Big Ten title for weeks now.

425
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: Ohio State didn't circle it until Saturday at four o'clock. Once.

426
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: You know, Michigan did a great job defending the fifty

427
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: yard line.

428
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: After the game, I think the interesting question for me

429
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: is in the big picture after this game, and I

430
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: mentioned this yesterday, if it's a close fought game, Let's

431
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: say that Indiana wins this game twenty seven to twenty four,

432
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: it goes down to the wire. Do both teams keep

433
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: their one in two seeds going into the postseason?

434
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot probably depends on what Georgia does. Is

435
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: the three right? You know, if Georgia looks impressive beating Alabama,

436
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: they could jump. You know, maybe the committee wouldn't want

437
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: to drop the loser down to four because then you

438
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: could get that matchup in the semi finals of seats hold.

439
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 3: So you know, again, I'll I'll repeat what I said earlier.

440
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: I think both teams will still get a buy and

441
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: really that's all that matters. I mean, when you when

442
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: you look at the bracket, you know, last year Oregon

443
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: got the one seed and they got the worst draw.

444
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: So it just so much of it is just get

445
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: the buy. I think that's the goal for these teams

446
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 3: in Indiana and Ohio State are definitely gonna get the buy.

447
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: I'd be stunned, stunned if the well, I shouldn't say

448
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: stun The committee is a bunch of idiots. But I

449
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: really would be surprised if the committee all of a

450
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: sudden put either of these teams playing that opening weekend.

451
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 3: I guess it would give you a home game. Are

452
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: there any Are there any Indiana fans that want that?

453
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: Do they want the home game?

454
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 7: Boy?

455
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: Do you want that? Moment inside your.

456
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: Own Dadima be some odd fans I think for that

457
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: to kind of play out the way you're laying it out.

458
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: All right, somebody who's been following, watching, consuming, and breathing

459
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Indiana sports his entire life. Greg Rakes, draw the expert,

460
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: the authority on all things Indiana sports, joins us.

461
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 3: Next.

464
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: Cheech and Chong. This war I think, isn't it Caleb?

465
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 4: That is correct?

466
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Good stuff? And I think George Lopez uses some of

467
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: that too, doesn't he? James did never remind you that

468
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: it's good stuff?

469
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: Yep?

470
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: On a Saturday morning, it's all good because man, do

471
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: we have a pack weekend. We've been talking about it

472
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: all morning long. Of course, Number one versus Number two

473
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: College football Tomorrow night, Lucas Oil stadium, so much going on,

474
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: It's taken so long for Indiana to get here, but

475
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: they have arrived at this place in time, and here

476
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: to tell us more about that and get us ready

477
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: to go for another Jacksonville Colts tilt. The one the

478
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: only Greg Rakestraw joining us here on the Payless Liquers Hotline,

479
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: Greg and your entire Indiana sports loving life. Did you

480
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: ever think that, up until about eighteen months ago, you'd

481
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: ever see the day where Indiana is ready to take

482
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: their shot at Ohio State for number one?

483
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 7: Not really, there was a scenario like the second or

484
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 7: third year of the Big Ten Championship game, back when

485
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 7: they actually had divisions and Ohio State and Penn State

486
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 7: were both on probation and weren't eligible for the game,

487
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 7: and there was a scenario like Indiana could have made

488
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 7: it at seven and five with like three weeks left

489
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 7: to go in the season, and Wisconsin summarily came to

490
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 7: Bloomington and beat them sixty two to ten. So that

491
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 7: was kind of the reminder of, no, this is not

492
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 7: gonna happen. So while this is not something that was

493
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 7: even a concept fifteen years ago, the fact of Indiana

494
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 7: being in this position and being number two in the nation,

495
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 7: potentially number one and playing for a championship and maybe

496
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 7: having the Heisman Trophy winner. The line that I have

497
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 7: most frequently used about it is a Normandale line from Hoosiers,

498
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 7: and that's like me and you going to the moon.

499
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 7: That's kind of what this is with Indiana football.

500
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 4: I'd like that.

501
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, a shout out to the movie Hoosiers, a classic.

502
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: I've been out there to Knightstown to see the gym

503
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: in person. Rake, when you look at the atmosphere that

504
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: will be on tap tomorrow here in downtown Indianapolis. You've

505
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: been to a lot of big moments for the city

506
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: in this state. How do you expect that to be

507
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: with I you Louisville on the hardwood in the early afternoon,

508
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: then obviously the big game on the grid iron that night.

509
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 7: It's not going to be Super Bowl weekend. I'm not

510
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 7: sure it's going to be closed because that is the

511
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 7: Super Bowl. But if you ask most locals JB about

512
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 7: what they remember about the Super Bowl being here, it's

513
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 7: the fact that there was a quarter of a million

514
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 7: people on the Friday night before the Super Bowl. Uh,

515
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 7: and it was basically Indy spring. You know, indy five hundred,

516
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 7: everybody just went downtown and they literally if people had

517
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 7: to stop, they had to go to like radio, television.

518
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 7: People stop going downtown. We cannot take We're full, don't go.

519
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 7: I don't think it's going to be that. I think

520
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 7: it's going to be that level of atmosphere.

521
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 6: So think about what.

522
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 7: Would normally be here, maybe for a Final four and

523
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 7: double that or maybe even triple that, because you don't

524
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 7: have people just goes to show up and just want.

525
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 6: To go to the party.

526
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 7: And I don't blame them, I understand that completely. So

527
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 7: somewhere in the vicinity of what a five hundred feels

528
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 7: like or a Final four feels like, somewhere in the

529
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 7: middle of that, I think will be tomorrow and down Indianapolis.

530
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 3: Rake, speaking of Hoosiers, did I read correctly that there

531
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, thirty or forty minutes cut

532
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: out of the original movie and they're going to release

533
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: that here soon. I don't know what service we would

534
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 3: watch it on. But did you hear anything along those lines?

535
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 7: So I don't think it was thirty minutes. I think

536
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: it was closer to fifteen minutes. I think I could

537
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: be wrong about that that did not make the original movie.

538
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 7: I think there is already a director's cut that has

539
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 7: been released, but I think includes it. Maybe I'm wrong

540
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 7: about that. What I can tell you is this, the

541
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 7: fortieth anniversary of the release of Hoosiers is next year,

542
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 7: and there's at least going to be one event, if

543
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 7: not a couple or people are gonna be able to see.

544
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 6: The full film that.

545
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 7: Has maybe not been available on a regular basis or

546
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 7: shown publicly. So there are plans in the works for

547
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 7: that to take place in the fall of twenty twenty six.

548
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: He is Greg Rag, so he's with us here on

549
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: the payloss Slickers hotline. Let's rewind to last week, Rake. Obviously,

550
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: we had the state finals. I would say the four

551
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: A game in particular was a great, great game between

552
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: Roncalli and Dwanger. Maybe if I labeled the biggest surprise

553
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: from championship weekend across the six classes, you would go where.

554
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 7: I'm not sure there's one that that would be a

555
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 7: huge surprise. I thought the overarching maybe the score in

556
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 7: andre And and Brownstown Central being a score being one score.

557
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 7: Even though Browntown has been good for a long time,

558
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 7: they have never kind of had that breakthrough moments, and

559
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 7: they don't play the toughest of schedules because there's just

560
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 7: simply not that many great schools in football around them.

561
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 7: So the fact, I think a lot of folks out

562
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 7: that Andrean might thump him just because Andrean does play

563
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 7: a very good schedule, and so that game being competitive,

564
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 7: he was a surprise. Maybe some folks were surprised that

565
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 7: Maryraville was competitive with Newpal for as.

566
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 6: Long as they were.

567
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 7: And again the unfortunately for Maryville, their starting quarterback gets

568
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 7: hurt Kyler bone injury is what was suspected and couldn't

569
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 7: continue the game, and that will be a massive what

570
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 7: iff or you never know, you know, if you're from

571
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 7: the region and it's it's okay to wonder about that.

572
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 6: Newpal's really damn good.

573
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 7: But Marrayville was toe to toe of them for three

574
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 7: quarters and when with their backup quarterback in there for

575
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 7: the third of those quarters, for Newpal, you know kind

576
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 7: of finally pulled away in that game.

577
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 6: So those are the surprises.

578
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 7: But to me, Kevin, the overarching theme was we really

579
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 7: gonna have a true blowout.

580
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 6: You know.

581
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 7: The largest margin of victory was the first game with

582
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 7: South Puttingham beating you know, Pioneer By by twenty six

583
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 7: or twenty nine. But usually in the state finals there's

584
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 7: a forty or fifty point game at some point in time,

585
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 7: and we had nothing close to that. So going in

586
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 7: I probably thought that five of the six game is

587
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 7: going to be pretty good, and that's kind of how

588
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 7: it played out last right and Saturday.

589
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 6: Greg.

590
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: One other thing I want to tie in from high

591
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: school football last weekend to Indiana tomorrow, and you and

592
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: I both had the opportunity, we're blessed to call the

593
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: six a game you on TV meal radio, and we

594
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: saw Brown Brownsburg's Brandon Sharp just dominate the first half

595
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: like few players can. We know that he's getting all

596
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: kinds of look from power for schools all over the place.

597
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: Has Indiana gotten to the point where that's the kind

598
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: of school that a player like Brandon Sharp would consider

599
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: moving forward?

600
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 6: I think so.

601
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 7: And as good as Brandon Sharp is, I will give

602
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 7: you another player that I think is the true You know,

603
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 7: Canary and the coal Mine has a has a has

604
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 7: a negative connotation. I'm not sure that the Harbinger, how

605
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 7: about that for a for a positive connotation?

606
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: Manchin Sales.

607
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 7: He is a five star recruit. He is rated as

608
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 7: the fifth or sixth best player in his class.

609
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 6: In the nation.

610
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 7: His nickname is Bema. You know, you kind of you know,

611
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 7: can can tell you know the level of talent that

612
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 7: he is. You name the power school he's offered him.

613
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 7: But yet Omar Cooper l N Bybeon Chandler l N

614
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 7: both wide receivers at IU before that, Donovan McCully, you

615
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 7: know down with IU was an l N guy. You know,

616
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 7: does a national level recruit in your own backyard? Does

617
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 7: that guy go to Bloomington? That will truly to me.

618
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 7: And again that's the offense to Brandon Sharp, who's really

619
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 7: good and he's going to play a major college, major

620
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 7: level of college football. But Sales might be the end

621
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 7: up being the top wide receiver in his class in

622
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 7: the country. And does he end up at a place like IU.

623
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 7: If that is the case, then Katie bar the door

624
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 7: for the Hoosiers. Yeah.

625
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: I'm looking at his list of offers right now.

626
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: Indiana is on it, as my Illinois finding line are

627
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: as well and pretty much every other school in America.

628
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made him

629
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 7: an offer a lot of teams have offered him at

630
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 7: this point.

631
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 1: They're going to add They're gonna adde out the Saskatchewan

632
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: rough Riders, is what they're gonna do.

633
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 6: Greg right, correct? Absolutely? Ray?

634
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 3: Did I see kylein? Then rippad there'll be some changes

635
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: to the Mister Football Award. Could you share a little

636
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: bit along those lines.

637
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think what it is is instead of having

638
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 7: just a position finalist, they will change it to maybe

639
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 7: multiple players at a same positioner finalist. And let's be

640
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 7: honest about it, it's because Miles McLaughlin is listed as

641
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 7: a quarterback and Jet Goldsberry is a quarterback, and clearly

642
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 7: they are the two best players in terms of candidates

643
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 7: for this award this season, and it'd be a shame

644
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 7: if one of those guys wasn't a finalist. So, yes,

645
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 7: it was a really smart move by the IFCA to

646
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 7: change it given whom the obvious candidates are for this year.

647
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 4: Got it.

648
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: So we used to just do top player at each

649
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: position now to be more like the Heisman ceremony where

650
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: you could have you know, Julian say in for Nando

651
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: Mendoza and Diego Pavia all theyre along with Jeremiah.

652
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 7: Love direct and again that that change happened. And you

653
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 7: heard me cite this example before when they kind of

654
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 7: had four finalists born in that amazing twenty eighteen class

655
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 7: and George Karloftis wasn't one of them. And I would

656
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 7: tell people, Hey, you can get upset about it being

657
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 7: jack Ties over David Bell. The fact that George was

658
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 7: invited to the party is the much bigger problem. Thankfully,

659
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 7: it seemingly hasn't affected him too much in terms of

660
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 7: his success in the National Football League.

661
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: Last thing for me, Greg Sunday, big opportunity for the Colts.

662
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: It's been a while since they've been able to beat Jacksonville.

663
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: How does this work if the Cults are going to

664
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: come out with a win here?

665
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 6: Jonathan Taylor left, Jonathan Taylor right. You have to be.

666
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 7: I understand, you have tendencies, and you have this is

667
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 7: the way I want to play. At some point in time,

668
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: you have a look around the room and go, hey,

669
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 7: we have to change this up. And again, this is

670
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 7: not a bad football team, the Indianapolis Colts.

671
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 6: They're not.

672
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 7: They're just not playing at that same level they were

673
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 7: the first two months of the season. Injuries are a

674
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 7: part of it. Injury affect every football team. So I

675
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 7: understand establishing throwing the ball first and then trying to

676
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 7: run the ball. I understand you have belief in your offense.

677
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 7: Let's take the opening kickoff. But now things aren't working.

678
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 7: You're losing close games. Now it's the part where you go,

679
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 7: all right, let's change things up. You win the opening

680
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 7: coin toss, defer, don't save Jonathan Taylor in a glass

681
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 7: case for the third quarter. The student body left, student

682
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 7: body right. You may want to break out of nineteen

683
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 7: eighty seven Eric Dickerson game plan if you're the Indianapolis

684
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 7: Colts trying to take some of the pressure off a

685
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 7: quarterback who is clearly one hundred percent but is obviously

686
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 7: your best option at this point in Daniel Jones, Rake.

687
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: Where are you tonight? Are you calling a game?

688
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 7: I am at the Burge Auditorium at North Central watching

689
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 7: my daughter sing in the accents as part of the

690
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 7: More Joyful Sounds Christmas Show, which is legendary.

691
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 6: In Washington Township.

692
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: All right, well for yes, so.

693
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 7: I'll make out for it by doing three games tomorrow.

694
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 7: Why don't you have tonight off?

695
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: So good?

696
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 6: Good for you?

697
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: What's the schedule tomorrow, so I you.

698
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 7: Indy at two o'clock as they play host to Youngstown State,

699
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 7: and then I will have the last two games of

700
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 7: the Sneakers for Santa event at Brownsburg, which has seven.

701
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 6: Games in total. Tomorrow to start at ten am.

702
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 7: I will have Male High School out of Louisville versus Pike,

703
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 7: and then I will have Fishers and Mount Vernon, which

704
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 7: is likely a clash of the best team in the

705
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 7: state and Fishers and the best player in this class

706
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 7: and the mister basketball heavy favorite in Purdue bound Luke Hurdle.

707
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 7: And that game tips at about eight fifteen tomorrow night.

760
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 2: what he's talking about. I'm gonna say, definitely older than fifteen.

761
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 2: He will give us his tailor's tidbits. Colts and Jaggs

762
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: coming up on Sunday, Matt Taylor, I want to start

763
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: here though.

764
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: You are a big time I you football fan, but

765
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 3: I want to play it from the Don Fisher side

766
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 3: of it. Two o'clock game, bridge Field outs tomorrow. I

767
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: Louisville and then first slides over to Lukasol Stadium for

768
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 3: the eight o'clock kick. Have you ever had a day

769
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 3: like that? And I guess what would your preparation look like?

770
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: Are you just throat lozengering up, not talking to a

771
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 3: single soul between four o'clock and seven thirty.

772
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 7: Well, it's more it's you know, it's more about like

773
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 7: the week of Like I think Don's week this week

774
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 7: has got to be pretty crazy because remember he was

775
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 7: probably out of pocket, you know, for like a day

776
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 7: and a half because they had that basketball game in Minnesota.

777
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 7: Oh that's right, yeah too, So his week of preparation

778
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 7: has to be I've been there, you know. I think

779
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 7: the closest thing to that has to be, you know,

780
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 7: back in the day when I was doing high school

781
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 7: basketball in high school football at the same time, you know,

782
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 7: a couple of basketball games the week of Thanksgiving week

783
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 7: with state championship game, football games, you know, whatever it

784
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 7: was back in the day, you know, five or six

785
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 7: games in the course of you know, four or five days.

786
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 7: And that's what Don's going through right now. But I

787
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 7: mean every I you sports fan is relishing this opportunity

788
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 7: for a guy like Don Fisher to be on the

789
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 7: biggest stage and to have these moments and to have

790
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 7: some signature calls coming up in the next forty eight hours,

791
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 7: so really really cool stuff for him. So I'm sure

792
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 7: he's had a lot of late nights, and I'm sure

793
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 7: his organization and his prep has been tested, but he's

794
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 7: still a total pro, still getting it done, and you know,

795
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 7: it's gonna be really exciting. But there's no question that

796
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 7: he's going to have to compartmentalize and memorize a lot

797
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 7: of names and numbers and figures and keep it all straight.

798
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 7: And some of the biggest athletic moments that Indiana University

799
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 7: sports basketball and football has experienced in the last couple

800
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 7: of years, there's no doubt about that.

801
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor joining us on the playlist Lookers hotline this morning.

802
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: You ready to get to it, my man?

803
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 6: I'm ready.

804
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: All right, go Caleb, let's go.

805
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 7: All right, let's talk about how big of a game

806
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 7: this is in week number fourteen. I don't know if

807
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 7: you guys saw it. I saw it, so you guys

808
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 7: probably saw it. The Jaguars on social media, they've already

809
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 7: proclaimed this is their biggest regular season game in franchise history.

810
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 7: You've got two eight and four teams squaring off in

811
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 7: Week fourteen, only four games to play after this upcoming

812
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 7: Sunday and Sunday's game. It's gonna mark just the third

813
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 7: regular season game hosted in the city of Jacksonville in

814
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 7: December or January where both teams playing in the game

815
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 7: have a winning percentage of six sixty six or higher.

816
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 7: The Jacksonville is surging. They've won three in a row.

817
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 7: The Colts have hit a few hurles lately, they dropped

818
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 7: three of their last four. The Jags look like they're

819
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 7: headed in the right direction from a franchise standpoint under

820
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 7: first year head coach Liam Cohen, who, by the way,

821
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 7: prior to this year has never been a head coach

822
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 7: at any level you know as a coach. But they're

823
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 7: looking to pull off the worst to first. At least

824
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 7: one NFL team has gone worse the first winning its

825
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 7: division the season after finishing tyor in less place in

826
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 7: twenty of the last twenty three NFL season, So Jacksonville

827
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 7: looking to do that this year. They were four and

828
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 7: thirteen last year. They've already doubled up their win total

829
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 7: from twenty twenty four and it's a franchise that's made

830
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 7: the postseason just four times in the last twenty years.

831
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 7: So there's no question they're going to be hungry coming

832
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 7: up on Sunday. And I think one of the areas

833
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 7: where the Colts need to get back to prowess is

834
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 7: running the football. But that's going to be tough on

835
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 7: the Jaguars because they have held their last three opponents

836
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 7: to under seventy rushing yards and their defense currently leads

837
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 7: the NFL giving up only eighty two rushing yards per game.

838
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 7: They've given up less than one thousand rushing yards on

839
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 7: the season so far through twelve games. That's not great

840
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 7: news for Jonathan Taylor because he's played the Jaguars four

841
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 7: times in his career down at EverBank Stadium and he's

842
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 7: averaging just forty three rushing yards a game in North

843
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 7: Florida against the Jaguars. Three times, he's been held to

844
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 7: under sixty yards on the road against the Jags. Now,

845
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 7: the Colts, they got to find a way to get

846
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 7: that running game going on Sunday because this is going

847
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 7: to be good on good. The Colts have forty four

848
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 7: carries of over ten yards on the season. That is

849
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 7: fourth most in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have allowed

850
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 7: just twenty four yards over ten yard twenty four carries

851
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 7: I should say over ten yards. That's the fourth fewest

852
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 7: so far in the NFL. So I don't think the

853
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 7: offense for the Colts is nearly as dependent on Jonathan

854
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 7: Taylor as it has been in years past. But there's

855
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 7: no question that Taylor is still the biggest piston inside

856
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 7: this engine offensively for the Colts. Case in point there,

857
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 7: the Colts are six and oh this season when Taylor

858
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 7: has at least ninety rushing yards, but they're two to

859
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 7: four this year when he's less than that, and he's

860
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 7: got less than ninety yards in all three of their

861
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 7: losses here recently. And then the last thing I want

862
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 7: to point out the Taylor tidbit. You got to keep

863
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones clean.

864
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 6: All right.

865
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 7: The Colts that they've averaged, or they did, average thirty

866
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 7: three points a game in the first eight weeks of

867
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 7: the season. That numbers down to twenty one points per

868
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 7: game in the last four. But Daniel Jones' numbers have

869
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 7: been controlled in that time as well. So you look

870
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 7: at his last four games a quarterback for Daniel Jones.

871
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 7: He's got an eighty six point six passer rating, sixty

872
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 7: one percent completion percentage, six touchdowns, four interceptions, and he

873
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 7: only has one rushing touchdown, and he's taken thirteen sacks

874
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 7: in the last month of the season. Now, Jacksonville on defense,

875
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 7: they only have twenty four sacks on the season, but

876
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 7: that's a little bit deceptive because they've got sixteen of

877
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 7: those sacks since Week nine, which are fifth most in

878
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: the NFL in that span. So teams are going to

879
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 7: keep coming after the Colts. They're going to send those

880
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 7: extra rushers until the Colts can prove they can gash

881
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 7: it for big plays and put up a big point

882
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 7: total and get a win doing it. And it starts

883
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 7: up front with great protection. Then it's Daniel Jones needing

884
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 7: to recognize where the pressure is coming from, get the

885
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 7: ball out on time. And then lastly, I think Colts

886
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 7: receivers they got to do a better job of winning

887
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 7: on the outside, winning their one on one matchups, getting

888
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 7: free releases, getting open to make big plays outside the

889
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 7: numbers or wherever that blitz is coming from from the defense. Obviously,

890
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 7: it's much easier said than Donefellows but I think big picture,

891
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 7: the Colts are going to continue to see that, you

892
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 7: know whatever, it is a facsimile of what they've endured

893
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 7: in the recent past until they prove they have a

894
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 7: winning formula to beat it and hopefully kind of lessen

895
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 7: the amount of pressures they're seeing in the face of

896
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones.

897
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: Excellent per usual from Matt Taylor. There the tailor's tidbits.

898
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to go back to the run game element

899
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 3: map because you we had this discussion a little bit

900
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: earlier in the show, and you know, one constant I

901
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: do feel like has been true throughout this streak down

902
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: there is I think Jacksonville's D line has gotten the

903
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: better of the Colts O line, and you point out

904
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 3: the run game has not gotten going for the Colts lately,

905
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 3: and considering the weather, you would think that would be

906
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: the blueprint. But that is what Jacksonville does stop really well.

907
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: That's probably their greatest strength as a football team is

908
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 3: their run defense. On paper, so much of it points

909
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 3: to you throw against them. But right you know, again

910
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: that's going against Jonathan Taylor and potentially against the weather.

911
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: So I think that's a very interesting dilemma for Shane

912
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: Stike and heading into Sunday.

913
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's gonna be sloppy too, right, I mean,

914
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 7: it's supposed to rain. There's like a ninety four percent

915
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 7: chance of rain. I don't know if that's going to

916
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 7: be consistently throughout the course of the day, but I

917
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 7: think you're gonna have precipitation and it's going to impact

918
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 7: the field, which impacts the footing. So that might be

919
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 7: a little bit of advantage for the Colts and the trenches.

920
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 7: You know, maybe that lessons you know, the Jaguars to

921
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 7: stop the run. I mean I think that I don't

922
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 7: think the cults are going to run wild in this game,

923
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 7: you know, for something crazy like two hundred yards, but

924
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 7: maybe if they can get north of the ridiculous eighty

925
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 7: two that the Jaguars are giving up, that would be beneficial.

926
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 7: Jacksonville is just a really mysterious team, and I think

927
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 7: Liam Cohen kind of said it best because a lot

928
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 7: of people are looking at, you know, how they've done

929
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 7: it and it's not really flashy, you know, eight and

930
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 7: four is eight and four. But Liam Cohen just said,

931
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 7: like that team down there just has an edge, a

932
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 7: better right. They've got like a tough DNA makeup collectively

933
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 7: as a group, and you know, it kind of defies

934
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 7: logic a little bit because you know, you look offensively,

935
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence, he's not having, you know, a sensational individual

936
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 7: statistical season. You know, Like it sounds cliche, we say

937
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 7: it all the time, but I think it's true. Like

938
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 7: a lot of teams go as their starting quarterback goes. Well,

939
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 7: if if that were true for the Jacksonville Jaguars, they

940
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 7: should be four and eight, not eight and four, based

941
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 7: on the season that Trevor Lawrence has had. Another thing

942
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 7: that's really weird about their offense, and I think I

943
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 7: putted it out with Jake yesterday, is that it's concerning

944
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 7: going into this game for the Colts because of what

945
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 7: has happened the last two games, where the Chiefs and

946
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 7: Texans have really ball controlled the Colts to the tune

947
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 7: of seventy seven minutes a time of possession combined. The

948
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 7: Jaguars are eighth and time of possession, but they're twenty

949
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 7: sixth and third down conversion rate. Like, I don't know

950
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 7: how those two things can exist at the same time, Like,

951
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 7: how can you hold on to the ball for that long?

952
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 7: But be that that on third down, like it just

953
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 7: doesn't compute.

954
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 6: But if you look.

955
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 7: Deeper, the defense is getting a lot of takeaways. They're

956
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 7: really good against the run. They're getting the ball back

957
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 7: into the hands of the offense pretty quick. So that's

958
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 7: kind of how they're doing it. So they're not flashy.

959
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 7: You know, even in a big win last week against

960
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 7: Tennessee where they had seven punts and five three and ounce,

961
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 7: they were still able to win by twenty two points.

962
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 7: So I think collectively, it's just a tough you know,

963
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 7: it's a tough team. They're very aggressive in how they play.

964
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 7: Obviously for the Colts, it's a difficult place to play

965
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 7: down at EverBank Stadium, and now you're going to have

966
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 7: a weather component to it as well.

967
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 2: On Sunday, May do you burn some sage before you

968
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: head down to Jacksonville?

969
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 4: How does that work?

970
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 7: You know, Like it really is so confusing, because again

971
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 7: I say this with all due respect, you know to

972
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 7: the Jaguars, because they they're the ones that have actually

973
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 7: done it. They've won nine in a row, so there's

974
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 7: something to it. But you know, EverBank Stadium, God bless it,

975
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 7: it's it's it's getting renovated and it's going through a

976
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 7: massive facelift for a reason. It's it's not an intimidating

977
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 7: place to play. You know, the Jaguars fans are great,

978
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 7: but it's not like Lambeau or Foxborough. Uh, it's just

979
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 7: I don't know what it is. Boys like there is

980
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 7: there is a curse in that building for this team,

981
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 7: and Kevin you mentioned it. You know that the line

982
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 7: of scrimmage has really been routinely controlled by Jacksonville historically.

983
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 7: Down there. Another thing that's popped up, and I know

984
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 7: we've talked about this in years past, is just turnovers.

985
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 7: The Colts have lost nine in our to Jacksonville on

986
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 7: the road, and seven of those nine games they've lost

987
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 7: a turnover battle. And their turnover differential for the Colts

988
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 7: is minus thirteen in those nine games. So you don't

989
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 7: really have to be a football savant to understand why

990
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 7: the Colts have routinely gotten on the plane in North

991
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 7: Florida and then flown back in pretty somber mood.

992
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 3: You go with David Busters tomorrow night to watch the game.

993
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 7: Man, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I know

994
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 7: I've got two friends coming down that are going to

995
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 7: be celebrating their fortieth birthday parties. So I'm going to

996
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 7: hit up with them and kind of latch on to

997
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 7: see what they want to do and where they want

998
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 7: to go. But I'm going to be front and center

999
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 7: somewhere watching that game. And that's the most disappointing part

1000
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 7: about the IU football fan and the job that I

1001
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 7: have is because every year, I know where I'm not

1002
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 7: gonna be this time of year, and that's in Indianapolis

1003
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 7: because Lucas Oil Stadium is always hosting the Big Ten

1004
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 7: championship game. And I've never really been bummed out about

1005
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 7: it because my team's never been at it until now.

1006
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 7: And so if there ever was a time where I

1007
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 7: kind of lamit, uh, you know, the Colts being on

1008
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 7: the road, it would be this this this Saturday. But uh,

1009
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 7: you know, I'll be watching from Afar, and uh, I

1010
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 7: can't wait for it. It's it's it's such a special time.

1011
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 7: As Jeff said, to be you know an Indiana sports fan.

1012
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: Now, you told me a few weeks back, fortieth birthday

1013
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 3: parties are no joke, right.

1014
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 7: I Mean they're kind of like they're kind of like

1015
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 7: bachelorette and Bachelor parties, like everybody tries to like one

1016
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 7: up each other, and everybody feels they like they have

1017
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 7: to go big, and to be honest with you, it's

1018
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 7: kind of putting a strain on my wallet a little

1019
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 7: bit because everybody wants to go do a dinner or

1020
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 7: go out of town or do Vegas or get a

1021
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 7: party bus. And I'm like, we're forty, not twenty, Like

1022
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 7: I want to be in bed by ten thirty, and

Speaker 1: a little circle to get everybody's having a birthday right now.

1063
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 3: That might be the truest samon you've ever made every

1064
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 3: day every.

1065
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,279

Speaker 3: We need that audio. But don't feel special, James, No.

1067
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 4: I don't feel special at all.

1068
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 2: I told you my birthday gets over signed by the

1069
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 2: person and I share wish out to my sister.

1070
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 3: They should carry Don Fischell in like a throng from

1071
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 3: Gamebridge Field House over to Lucasoul Stadium, like have the

1072
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: IU fans just carry them on one of those like

1073
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 3: something to see like in a foreign country in these

1074
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 3: parades or something, you know, I carry them down Georgia.

1075
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,439
Speaker 2: Honestly think the fans would be one, honored enough drunk

1076
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 2: enough to do it.

1077
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, honored and drunk enough key two key ingredients

1078
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 3: of that.

1079
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: Also, i'd actually watch put it up on my computer.

1080
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: On the side, I would love to see just a

1081
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: video stream of Fish Collins came Saturday night. That'd be fun.
