Speaker 9: Talk about sending a message for the rest of the country.

00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 9: It's a message not only for this year in his

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 9: playoff bird, but going forward, the standard is now the

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 9: standard Indiana.

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go.

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: I'm running a run out on the field to get

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 4: going at the Peace Bowl tonight, it's the Indiana Hoosiers,

Speaker 4: I dig it, and Kevin Bowen, you and I were

57
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 4: just talking about the fact that we've been sleep deprived

58
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 4: all week long, and I'm okay with all that. That's

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: just the way this week is gone. And we got

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 4: a lot of other great things to talk about today too,

61
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: Pacers and one thousand wins last night for Rick Carlisle,

62
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: Chris Ballard meeting with the media. What a glorious time

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: to be alive and be a sports fan in Indiana.

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, definition are great.

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 10: Might be a little different for a few of those items,

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 10: but nonetheless, boy, I hope tonight can live up to

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 10: what last night certainly did. Just an incredible game, mark

68
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 10: acton first, great work on that's good luck to your bears.

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 10: That is a nice bear sweatshirt you have there behind

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 10: the glass. Talk about a big one for your fandom

71
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 10: coming up tomorrow night, and yeah, that's one of those.

72
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 10: It took me about an hour to fall asleep after

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 10: last night. It was just such an epic, epic game.

74
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 10: So once again they'll say what I said yesterday to

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 10: lead off the show. Everybody traveling down there, I saw

76
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 10: Josh on the text line has already chimed in everybody

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 10: making the drive down. Certainly safe travels. We will have

78
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 10: you covered here for the next three hours. Then you know,

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 10: you can dial up some old podcasts with Joe buck Audio.

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 10: You heard there, Scott Dolson audio loved Anthony Thompson and

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 10: Jake yesterday, and we'll have you covered as you descend

82
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 10: upon Peach State, and tonight Indiana and Oregon a trip

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 10: to the national title where there will not be any

84
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 10: SEC team.

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: I think for the third year in a row, there

86
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 4: will be no SEC team in the championship game. How

87
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: about that, Kevin Bowen? How about the fact that this

88
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: year and the you know, in top twenty five, top

89
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: ten teams. I'll double check what it is, but the

90
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: SEC is basically underwater against ranked teams from other conferences.

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: This year. The tide is starting to James Boyd and

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: what has changed so much in the last twenty four months.

93
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: That's probably going to keep that going. Not that the

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 4: SEC is going to be behind forever, but I think

95
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: the rest of college football has caught up absolutely.

96
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 11: Indiana is the perfect example of that. You go from

97
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 11: being the losingest program ever I believe in Division one

98
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 11: football to now being two wins away from a national

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 11: championship in no undefeated season, so it has been great.

100
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 11: I have learned my lesson as Illinois guy getting blown

101
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 11: out months ago, but at this point I'm ready to

102
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 11: see the hometown area team get it done well.

103
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: Last night was a very entertaining game, and I start

104
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: to think about tonight's game at the Peach Bowl. A

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: thirty to twenty win for Indiana over Oregon the first

106
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: time around. Obviously you talk about playing teams the second time,

107
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: it usually goes one of two ways. The team that

108
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: won just doubles down and proves that they are the

109
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: better team, where every once in a while, Oregon's like, yep,

110
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: off day, that day, let's see what happens. I tend

111
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: to think that the three and a half points spread,

112
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: Kevin Bowen, it's not enough. I'm I don't know what

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 4: I've got left in my account from this past football season.

114
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: I know it's enough. It's been okay, it's been a

115
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: decent year. Wasn't a great year. But whatever I got left,

116
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 4: I'm going for that. I'm going Indiana giving up three

117
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: and a half points, Kevin, I don't feel bad about

118
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: that at.

119
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 10: All, shout out to Rick Carlisle win number one thousand.

120
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 10: Last night, I flipped over at talk about a chaotic

121
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 10: end of that game as well, and I flipped back

122
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 10: to Miami Old Miss and at the belief they were

123
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 10: just kind of wrapping up their halftime segment, and ironically enough,

124
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 10: it was Nick Saban that had the mic at that

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 10: moment there, and as Sabin is, you know, kind of

126
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 10: given his last thoughts before they send it to break,

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 10: he uttered the phrase, it looks like nobody can beat them.

128
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 10: Nick Saban was talking about the Indiana University football team,

129
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 10: just another reminder of where we are at right now,

130
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 10: as they are the favorite, and I think they deserve that,

131
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 10: and clearly in the eyes of not just us in

132
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 10: this studio, I think they're viewed in that exact light

133
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 10: more from a national standpoint there, and I think that's right.

134
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 10: And honestly, if you watched that game last night, Miami's

135
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 10: got some incredible individual talent. There's no denying that Malachai

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 10: Tony is one of the more special players I think

137
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 10: already we've seen in college football, and the fact that

138
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 10: he still should be in high school is utterly amazing.

139
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 10: Like him and Cooper flag and we is that really

140
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 10: true with their ages? But nonetheless, I think you watched

141
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 10: Miami last night and you also realized there are some

142
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 10: cracks and there are certainly they weren't disciplined whatsoever, and

143
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 10: I think Indiana would be a definite favorite over them.

144
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, cannot wait for tonight.

145
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 10: You know, really, the last two years, guys, we've had

146
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 10: just some epics semi final games. I thought last year

147
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 10: Notre Dame Penn State was a tremendous game. I thought

148
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 10: even Ohio State Texas had great, great moments after kind

149
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 10: of the first round where we didn't really get a

150
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 10: ton of that, And certainly last night was just I mean,

151
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 10: you've got four lead changes in the final seven minutes

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 10: last night. I mean, how many football games period do

153
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 10: you see that, let alone a trip to go to

154
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 10: the national championship game.

155
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: You don't have.

156
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 12: A chance at the end, it would shock me.

157
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 11: I mean, after the Carson Beck scramble touchdown, I'm thinking, okay,

158
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 11: this is probably over, and Ole Myths gets it to

159
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 11: within not just necessarily a hail Mary, but a legitimate

160
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 11: throw to the end zone to try to win that

161
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 11: game on a walk off.

162
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 12: So that was an incredible theater right there.

163
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I know, for the people that we're talking

164
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: about interference and holding and stuff like that, looks like

165
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: the offensive player and the defensive player both had a

166
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: hold of each other's jersey going for that thing.

167
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 11: That's just I mean, I have to slow it down

168
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 11: frame by frame. I think it's one of those plays

169
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 11: where if you're a Miami fan, you're saying, great defense,

170
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 11: if you're an Ole miss fan, you're saying, where's the

171
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 11: flat I.

172
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: Think in a situation like that almost always, And feel

173
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: free to chime in, Mark, because you've seen a few

174
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 4: of these in the NFL over the years.

175
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 10: No, Mark, and you know nothing about Hail Mary's against

176
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 10: your team talking about.

177
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: But my point is, unless somebody is just flat out

178
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 4: tackling the wide receiver or shoving him obviously out of ounds,

179
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 4: they're just gonna let that play, aren't they, James, Like,

180
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: it's just scrum, just go get the ball.

181
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 12: Well, they let him play last night.

182
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 4: So there you have it, all right, So a lot

183
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: to talk about this morning, obviously a lot coming up

184
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 4: later on tonight. It's one of those days. And you

185
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: know this as a sports fan, Kevin, you lived at

186
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: this all the time. It's one of those days where

187
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: you just keep looking up at the clock all day long.

188
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: It's seven thirty eight. How close are we? Are we

189
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: there yet? Are we there yet? What you mean? I

190
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: was just in back to back meetings and then it

191
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: only took forty eight minutes. Well, that's it's only one o'clock.

192
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 10: That's why you've got us right, Yeah, you've got us

193
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 10: covered all day long. We'll get your set all the way.

194
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 10: Lean up to tonight's shout out to a couple local guys.

195
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 10: I believe I think it's just two. If I'm not

196
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 10: mistaken Greg Greg stew will join a Sean McDonough by

197
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 10: the way, we will join us at eight o'clock. TV

198
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 10: play by play guy for tonight's game, Greg Rakestraw at nine.

199
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 10: But I believe our two Indian high schoolers are Ohmark

200
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 10: Cooper Junior, of course, goes out saying the season that

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 10: he has had the Lawrence North product and shout out

202
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 10: to Dylan Thieneman from Westfield High School, one of the

203
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 10: more important players for Oregon. Frankly, we obviously saw his

204
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 10: career begin at Purdue. Really was an instant impact guy

205
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 10: for the Perdue boy the makers, and the Westfield product.

206
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 10: I have a feeling he will have a lot of

207
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 10: people maybe in the old phone book that maybe has

208
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 10: a split rooting interest for tonight's game. So a couple

209
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 10: of local angles in this one. From an Indian high

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 10: school standpoint.

211
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a lot of fun. Sean McDonough will

212
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: be on the call James Boyd later on tonight on ESPN.

213
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: He is going to join us at eight a m.

214
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: This morning, excited for it.

215
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 11: I think he's the best in the business, and I

216
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 11: believe he actually won the National Sports Media Association Sportscaster

217
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 11: of the Year award for the entire country, So he

218
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 11: is the real deal.

219
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's one of my favorites and I can't wait

220
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: to hear his call of that game a little bit

221
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: later on tonight. You know, I've looked at so many

222
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: season long retrospectives that people have been put out on

223
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 4: social media and things like that, and you see people

224
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: like Paul Finebaumbed. I'll tell you right now, I'm not

225
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 4: gonna pick Indiana. I think the folks that have long

226
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: been carrying the flag for the SEC and look rightfully

227
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: so for a couple of decades. They were clearly the

228
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 4: best conference and field of the best teams, but they're

229
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: still still living off a narrative that just doesn't exist anymore, Kevin,

230
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 4: and I think people like Paul Finebaum are holding on

231
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: to that with every last little bit of strength that

232
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 4: they have, because if you look at the last three years,

233
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: it's just not true. It's just not there.

234
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, three hours of breath for me on this show.

235
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 10: I ain't wasted on Paul Vinebaum this morning.

236
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: I can tell you that. All right, we'll get to

237
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: check down coming up in just a moment here. A

238
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 4: lot of fun today. Aside from Sean McDonald, we have

239
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: another guest this morning too, I believe Mark and so

240
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: Greg Gragshaw has moved a little bit today.

241
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 13: Yep, he's seating his time as usual eight o'clock slot

242
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 13: to Sean, so he'll join us at eight forty five.

243
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 4: All right, So busy, busy day ahead. We'll check the

244
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 4: text line often this morning, so do that at two, three, nine,

245
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: ten seventy give us a shout on the phone lines.

246
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 4: I think those have been upgraded over the last twenty

247
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: four hours, as of most things. As our move to

248
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: the building becomes more and more complete, and I'm not

249
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: gonna lie. It felt a little rough at times. I

250
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 4: know you guys also felt it and heard it too,

251
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: But hopefully in the last twenty four to forty eight

252
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: hours we've remedied a lot of that stuff. So hang

253
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: with us here. It's ninety three five and one oh

254
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: seven five the Fair. It's a fan morning show. Kevin Bowen,

255
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: James Boyd, I'm jeff Rickard, and tonight the college football

256
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: playoff semi final, the Indiana Hoosiers taken on the Oregon

257
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 4: Ducks rematch up a regular season game, and we can't

258
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: wait to get going. If you don't go to watch

259
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 4: it Dona ESPN Radio and you don't get the chance

260
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: to listen to us tonight, you certainly want to tune

261
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: into ESPN TV. Sean McDonough has the play by play

262
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: and nothing screams big game more than my friend Sean

263
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 4: McDonough on the call. Sewan, it's good to talk to

264
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 4: you again. Thanks for joining us early this morning. Everybody

265
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: in Indiana, they are hired up here. I'm sure you

266
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: could imagine that.

267
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, just hearing that rejoinder that you just played would

268
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 8: get me fired up too, even if I wasn't an

269
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 8: Indiana fan. Great to talk to you again, Jeff and

270
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 8: the Kevin and James, and we're fired up too, you know,

271
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 8: looking forward to seeing this team tonight that has been

272
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 8: clearly the best team in the country all season long.

273
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 8: As you guys know, it's an excellent opponent.

274
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 6: I think it.

275
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 8: Will be like last night, another really competitive, exciting game

276
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 8: and can't wait to get started.

277
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: Sean, can't thank you enough. Last year you joined us

278
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: quite often throughout the run.

279
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 10: You were kind of the notre dame, if you will,

280
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 10: I guess play by player throughout that run, and so

281
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 10: we appreciate the time here again with obviously a different opponent,

282
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 10: albeit you saw Indiana last year in that first round matchup.

283
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 10: Let's kind of start there, Kurtzignetti, what is different in

284
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 10: your interactions maybe before last year's opener versus what you've

285
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 10: seen from him this year from Afar and now obviously

286
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 10: up close for tonight.

287
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 8: I really didn't notice anything different, you know. I think

288
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 8: that's a part of his success. Excuse me, is he's

289
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 8: pretty consistent, the same guy more often than not. You know,

290
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 8: he has a great belief in himself, his staff, the players,

291
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 8: the system, and you know, I thought it was interesting yesterday.

292
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 8: His facial expressions have become a thing, especially after the

293
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 8: Rose Bowl against Alabama.

294
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 6: He was asked about it yesterday and.

295
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 8: He said, you know, one of the reasons he kind

296
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 8: of wears that expression all the time is he tells

297
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 8: his players he wants them to be the same, play

298
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 8: the same from play one to play whatever, one hundred

299
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 8: and fifty. So he doesn't want to be up there,

300
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 8: up and down with his emotions on the sideline and

301
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 8: not practicing what he preaches. So not much different within

302
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 8: our interaction with him yesterday than it was last year.

303
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 11: Sean, thanks again for the time and congratulations on being

304
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 11: in the name the National Sportscaster of the Year from

305
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 11: the National Sports Media Association. A big honor there and

306
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 11: rightfully deservedly. So going to you and looking at this

307
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 11: match up again, what do you think could be different

308
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 11: from when we saw these teams a couple months ago?

309
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I think if you're Oregon, the number

310
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 8: one thing you need to figure out is not upsacks.

311
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 8: You know, it was unusual for them to give up sacks.

312
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 8: They've only given up sixteen all year, and six of

313
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 8: them were in the game against Indiana, and they had

314
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 8: eight out of their fourteen games they didn't give up

315
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 8: a sack. So I think they need to figure out

316
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 8: the protection. You know, I give Brian Haynes and the

317
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: defensive staff and players a lot of credit for that.

318
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 8: You know, they're hard to defend that way, as you

319
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 8: guys know, a lot of simulated pressures. They move people around.

320
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 8: They have talented people who can get after the quarterback.

321
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 8: So I think for Oregon, if it's going to be different,

322
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 8: that has to be job one for them.

323
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: Sean McDonough ESPN has to play by play of the

324
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: game tonight Indiana and Oregon, joining us on the Paylesslickers hotline. Sean,

325
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: You've seen so much college football over the years, and

326
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: when I look at this Indiana team, the thing that

327
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: really jumps out to me is how physical they are,

328
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: and then at the skill positions, how strong and fast

329
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: they are. Is what they look like what used to

330
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: be like an SEC team. What do you see when

331
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: you watch this team getting ready for the game.

332
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, they are definitely that, and I think just the

333
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 8: most impressive thing.

334
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 6: I don't ever remember.

335
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 8: Preparing for a game where the team looked like they

336
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 8: were so well coached, that executed so well in all

337
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 8: the things that you would.

338
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 6: Say are important in the game. I mean, they're the.

339
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 8: Best team in the country on third down when they're

340
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 8: on offense, on third down, on defense, they're third best

341
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 8: in the country behind Texas A and m Virginia. They're

342
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 8: plus eighteen in the turnover margin that side with Arizona

343
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 8: for the best in the country. You know, they don't

344
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 8: give up explosive plays. That's another big.

345
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 6: Thing to go back to the previous question about tonight.

346
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 8: The Oregon is more explosive player country twenty yard plays

347
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 8: or more ninety five of them. Indiana doesn't give those up.

348
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 8: They don't hurt themselves with penalties. You know, you guys

349
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 8: have seen it all year long. I mean, if you're

350
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 8: a coach and a staff and you're looking at your

351
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 8: team and you want them to demonstrate that they're a

352
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 8: beautifully coach team, they really do everything that would suggest, wow,

353
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 8: this is a really well coached team. So I think

354
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 8: that's the thing that jumps out to me.

355
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 6: They have guys who love football, play hard.

356
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 8: Obviously, they have the best quarterback in the country. Well,

357
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 8: we shall see, right, that's another interesting backdrop to this tonight.

358
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 8: The NFL people, I think, look at at Fernando and

359
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 8: Dante more is one in one A and probably the

360
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 8: top two picks in the draft. And you know, talking

361
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 8: to mel kiper emailing with him, you know he's not

362
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 8: sure which one is number one and which one's number two.

363
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 6: So that's not the most.

364
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 8: Important thing tonight, but it is certainly a small part

365
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 8: of the story.

366
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 10: You certainly know that boy Sean McDonough he will be

367
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 10: on the call here in about twelve hours. I guess

368
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 10: we'll be in the first quarter at this point of

369
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 10: Indiana and Oregon tonight, of course on ESP and let's

370
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 10: focus on Mendoza for a second and maybe more of

371
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 10: just kind of away from on the field stuff. He

372
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 10: certainly quite the unique personality. The Heisman Trophy speech I

373
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 10: know had my wife in tears about fifteen seconds into it.

374
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 10: Your interactions with him and just what you've observed from him,

375
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 10: maybe away from.

376
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 8: Football, well, yesterday it was the first time I've ever

377
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 8: talked to him in person, and I share your thoughts.

378
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 8: You know, I watched him, obviously give the Heisman speech,

379
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 8: and I'd seen him interviewed other times and seen him

380
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 8: featured previously and always came away super impressed. I don't

381
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 8: know how you could be anything, but and that was

382
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 8: just more the same yesterday. Yeah, it was wonderful to

383
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 8: hear his teammates talk about him. You know, it's not phony.

384
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 8: He's not trying hard to win public affection. You know,

385
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 8: that's the way he is around them. And you know,

386
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 8: his three teammates that we talked to in the meeting

387
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 8: yesterday and his coaches all said the same thing. You know,

388
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 8: he became a team leader very quickly because of you know,

389
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 8: his infectious personality and his character. So you know, he's

390
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 8: the whole package. I think, you know, as you said,

391
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 8: you could debate is the number one pick the number

392
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 8: two pick, But I think whoever drafts him is going

393
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 8: to be awfully happy that they did.

394
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 11: Sean last one for me, And I'm just curious from

395
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 11: a broadcasting standpoint, but what is the preparation like for

396
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 11: a game of this magnitude?

397
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 12: If you could just kind of take us through your.

398
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 11: Behind the scenes becoming the voice of this moment for

399
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 11: so many people.

400
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's intense. You know, it would have been a

401
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 8: little easier for our group if we had the other

402
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 8: game last night only because you know, he had had

403
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 8: both Miami and Ole Miss in this playoff, and we

404
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 8: had both of them in the regular season.

405
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, we turned.

406
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 8: Out to have Miami in the most important game of

407
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 8: the regular season maybe for any team, because we had

408
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 8: their opener against Notre Dame, and ultimately that's the game,

409
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 8: the win that got them into the field ahead of

410
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 8: Notre Dame. Had that game gone the other way, the

411
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 8: I'm sure would have been in in Miami wouldn't have

412
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 8: even been in the playoffs. You know, we were very

413
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 8: familiar with those two teams, not anywhere near as familiar

414
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 8: with Indiana and Oregon because.

415
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 6: As you guys know, maybe ce A ESPN, we don't.

416
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 8: Have the broadcast rights for the Big Ten anymore. And

417
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 8: I really miss it, you know, loved going to those

418
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 8: places and loved Big Ten football and those venues and

419
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 8: coaches and the people the sid so really miss it.

420
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 8: But it's been fun to dive back into this. As

421
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 8: you said, we in Indiana last year, so brought out

422
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 8: my spotting charts. But going to answer your question here,

423
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 8: I've got a ninety eight page press release from Oregon

424
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 8: with all their notes and stats, A huge clip file

425
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 8: of features about the players and coaches, very similar information

426
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 8: from Indiana. ESPN has a great research staff that helps us.

427
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 8: I've watched the regular season game that these two teams played,

428
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 8: the two or three recent games that they both played,

429
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 8: including the games in the playoff here, you know, meetings

430
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 8: yesterday with the players and coaches. I'm sitting here furiously

431
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 8: jotting as any notes on in my chart as I can,

432
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 8: and then once the game starts, you know, the thing

433
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 8: is to not have the temptation to get all this

434
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 8: information out, you know, just use what's pertinent. You know,

435
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 8: hopefully it's a close game, and we don't tell a

436
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 8: lot of personal stories, even though we love to do that,

437
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 8: because it's especially for the people. Right that we'll have

438
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 8: a huge audience tonight. A lot of these people will

439
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 8: not have seen either one of these teams have played

440
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 8: this year and won't know much about their players. So,

441
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 8: you know, you try to pick the right stories to

442
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 8: humanize the people as it goes along.

443
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 4: Thanks for joining U, Sean. I know it's early for you.

444
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 4: We really appreciate you taking the time to get up

445
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 4: with us. I just wish sooner or later you and

446
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: I can talk more hockey again soon. But we got

447
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: business tonight.

448
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 6: Well let's do that.

449
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 8: I'll be rolling in the hockey here after the National

450
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 8: Championship game, and we'd love.

451
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 6: To do that.

452
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: All right, buddy, we'll talk to you soon.

453
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 6: Thanks Sean, Thank you, guys. Have a great day.

Speaker 4: I've run it to go, Mark Diton, Let's let's line

455
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,960

Speaker 4: year time here on the Fans seven thirty kick at

Speaker 4: the Peach Bowl, Indiana, Oregon. You can watch it on ESPN.

458
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 4: Kevin Bowen this particular weekend of sports that this may

459
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 4: be my favorite weekend, this particular one, this particular year.

460
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: I'm digging it man.

461
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: Mark Dyton.

462
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 10: I think you just all of a sudden led many

463
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 10: many cars on I sixty five right now, where all

464
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 10: of a sudden you look down and that song comes

465
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 10: on in the car, or you know something along the

466
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 10: lines of what you just played, and you look at

467
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 10: the sphenometer You're like, holy bleep, why am I going

468
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 10: ninety one?

469
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 4: I know I want to run through a brick wall.

470
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 13: I'm not necessarily an IU fanch worn.

471
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 10: I cruise controlled seventy three and now I'm north of

472
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 10: ninety Right now, I'd better slow down now asap here

473
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 10: before the cop of the Seymour exit is going to

474
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 10: pull me out.

475
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: PDB nice out there today. Excellent, excellent, excellent work.

476
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 10: I'm gonna have a feeling the eight one to two

477
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 10: troopers might be a little bit more lenient on the

478
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 10: drive down. Now once again in Kentucky.

479
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 12: Good luck.

480
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 10: But maybe until that same order you hopefully feel like

481
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 10: a man from experience.

482
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly, just make sure you're flying your IU flag

483
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 4: up there on the side of the car.

484
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, maybe take it down when you're in the

485
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 10: state of Kentucky. But yeah, excellent, excellent, excellent there. Mark

486
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 10: actually was thinking speaking of long road trips thirteen years ago,

487
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 10: I guess almost fourteen years ago. I made the trip

488
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 10: down from Bloomington to Atlanta. My senior year at IU

489
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 10: Indiana was in the sweet sixteen against Kentucky. We actually

490
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 10: shout out to chet Strange, shout out to Obvi's Alon,

491
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 10: shout out to Conrad Aghara, my fellow Indiana Daily studenters.

492
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: We then made the drive back.

493
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 10: Nothing says the college experience like we drove back after

494
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 10: IU lost Kentucky, and what was a thrilling Sweet sixteen game.

495
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 10: I think we got back to Bloomington about ten.

496
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: Am in the morning.

497
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 10: We left Georgia at like one am, two am something

498
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 10: like that, and drove back through the night. And I

499
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 10: was thinking, like, if you would have told me or

500
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 10: told And I'm sure there are other IU fans that

501
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 10: made that drive in twenty twelve and are now making

502
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 10: the drive today or yesterday, because think about it, Georgia

503
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 10: has been a rich for Indiana University Athletics in two

504
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 10: thousand and two. Of course Final four was in there,

505
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 10: the iconic run all the way to the title game,

506
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 10: that twenty twelveteen that got to the Sweet sixteen, and

507
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 10: now here you are back, not in the Georgia Dome,

508
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 10: but you know, in the same general area. And I'm

509
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 10: trying to think if you would have told an IU fan,

510
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 10: guys in fourteen years, you're gonna make this drive again

511
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 10: to watch the Creem and Crimson, You're gonna pack the suitcase,

512
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 10: You're gonna make that drive again. And the response that

513
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 10: we met with, oh man, another Sweet sixteen? Oh wait, wait,

514
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 10: is it a Final four? Is it an is it

515
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 10: the sixth banner?

516
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 12: Is it? No? No?

517
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 10: No, no, It's better I think in a lot of

518
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 10: people's eyes, you're going to watch your football program in

519
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 10: the final four, and not only going to watch them.

520
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 10: They've got the Heisman Trophy winner and they are the

521
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 10: favorite to win the national championship.

522
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: Can you imagine saying that thirteen fourteen?

523
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 10: Hell you imagine saying that thirteen months ago, let alone

524
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 10: thirteen years ago.

525
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: But yet that's where right now.

526
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 12: And that's why I can't say it's a Cinderella story.

527
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 11: I think last year felt like that, but this year

528
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 11: they have just dominated team.

529
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 10: Yes, Cinderella's got swagger, She's a total package.

530
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 12: Right now, all bug right, Cinderella is balming.

531
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: She ain't innocent, I guess is what I'm saying.

532
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 10: Right, you might find Cinderella and some other websites out there, right.

533
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 11: So, I am very excited for tonight's game, and I

534
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 11: think it'll certainly provide some lives and memories for all

535
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 11: of us, and especially those their boots on the ground.

536
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 11: This is the type of stuff that you remember for

537
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 11: a lifetime. So I can only imagine the eight year old,

538
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 11: ten year old, twelve year old who's getting that sort

539
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 11: of trip today.

540
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 12: Boy, you better thank your parents forever.

541
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 4: I was just talking about being in the moment, one

542
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 4: step in front of the other. But for the sake

543
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: of we're talk radio. If Indiana pulls out the next

544
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty minutes and they go sixteen to

545
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 4: zero and have the Heisman Trophy winner Kevin Bowen, where's

546
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: that compared to the seventy five, seventy six who's your

547
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 4: team that went undefeated and won a national championship?

548
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 10: Oh god, yeah, I mean I guess you know, they

549
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 10: put them both up there on the shelf together, right right,

550
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 10: you know.

551
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: But we're talking about Indiana here.

552
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's kind of you know, I asked Greg Gregshraw

553
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 10: a few minutes ago, you know, how to compared to

554
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 10: the Butler run?

555
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: You know, those are all I hesitate with those.

556
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 10: And I apologize for asking the question because you know,

557
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 10: we got the text a few days ago. Is this

558
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 10: one of the greatest college football teams of all time?

559
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 10: Whenever you get into those discussions, you naturally nitpick the

560
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 10: incredible accomplishment. So I, you know, I don't know if

561
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 10: it makes for great sports radio, but I don't know

562
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 10: exactly what we do win sports radio. I'll probably sit

563
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 10: that one out for now and see if it happens,

564
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 10: and obviously you know, not being alive for it, and

565
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 10: you know, certainly you think back to the seventy five

566
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 10: year and the injury that happened, and you know last

567
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 10: year's run didn't have necessarily that aspect to it. But again,

568
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 10: it is, bar none, one of the greatest stories period

569
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 10: in sports. And you know, as I've said it all

570
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 10: along with Kurt Signetty, it's the greatest coaching job I

571
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 10: think in college or pro sports. Frankly, I think the

572
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 10: only thing that would pail in comparison is probably on

573
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 10: an Olympic level when you talk about nineteen eighty.

574
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 4: Looking again the basketball team seventy five, seventy six, it's

575
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: the only college basketball team to ever run the table

576
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: and win the national championship. Only ever, that'll always stick out,

577
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 4: that'll always stick out.

578
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 11: But Quinn Buckner he has had I'm looking at like

579
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 11: his resume, I always forget like he went undefeated in

580
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 11: high school, undefeated in college and won an Olympic gold medal.

581
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: It's a lot of chicken.

582
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

583
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 11: I mean, he's a legend back home in Illinois because

584
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 11: he was a great two sport athlete in football and basketball.

585
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 12: So It's kind of funny.

586
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 11: It's a full circle moment whenever I see him, because

587
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 11: you hear how great his high school teams were.

588
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 12: I believe his senior year of high school they went undefeated.

589
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 11: But on top of that, they didn't have a game

590
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 11: within fourteen points, So that's pretty crazy.

591
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 4: Well, like I said, I said, it still a lot

592
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 4: of work to do two full football games one football

593
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: game just to get the chance for the second football game,

594
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: and you got to go sixty minutes tonight, and it's

595
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 4: just keep doing what you're doing. That was kind of

596
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: my point when you're asking what I would say in

597
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 4: the pregame, James, just keep doing what you're doing. Be

598
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: physical on both sides of the line of scrimmage, which

599
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 4: is something they've been so good at all year long.

600
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: They have physically been stronger than every team they've played

601
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 4: this year. That imposes your will on them, that wears

602
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 4: them down, That gives your amazing skill position players on

603
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: offense a chance to do things they need to do,

604
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: and the defense consistently getting off the field keeps them

605
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: fresh in that fourth quarter.

606
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 10: Kevin, Yeah, I think you know we've touched on so

607
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 10: many different keys throughout Again, getting Dante more off his spot,

608
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 10: I think is one of the biggest ones for me.

609
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: Obviously that involves your defensive line major league.

610
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 10: Because if there is one, I think, all right, is

611
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 10: there any sort of concern as you wake up today, Indiana,

612
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 10: there's been whatever four or five times this season where

613
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 10: there's been some coverage busts and other times where court

614
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 10: Signetti has spoken to coverage bust of like, hey, we

615
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 10: just got lucky there that the other team didn't recognize it.

616
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 10: And you know, last night was a perfect example. You know,

617
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 10: Carson Beck hasn't you know, hit a shot all playoff long,

618
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 10: and then all of a sudden, boom, Mississippi has a

619
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 10: coverage bust and Beck hits one. And I'm curious what

620
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 10: that did for Carson Beck maybe the rest of the game,

621
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 10: because then on that final drive when he's asked to

622
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 10: deliver some big time throws on third down, he did that.

623
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 10: So I think that is certainly key number one. And

624
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 10: then just continue to maintain your balance on offense. I

625
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 10: think as long as you do that, you'll be able to,

626
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 10: you know, put up points, and you know, I'll continue

627
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 10: to stress what I've said all along. I just feel

628
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 10: like Indiana was the much better team in the first matchup,

629
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 10: and that was despite them having season high in penalties,

630
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 10: And I don't think I would expect that tonight. I

631
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 10: thought Oregon, even though maybe the score didn't indicated, I

632
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 10: thought they had a lot of undisciplined moments in the

633
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 10: Texas Tech game of their origible appearance there in the quarterfinals.

634
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 10: Some curios if they have any more of those tonight.

635
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 4: Kurtzignetti yesterday meeting with the media at the Peach Bowl

636
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 4: and when somebody asked him, like coach during a game,

637
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 4: are you ever happy with that scal that's there all

638
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 4: the time?

639
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of times I am happy.

640
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 5: I just don't show I'm happy. And if I'm going

641
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: to ask my players right to play the first game,

642
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 5: first play, to play one point fifty the same, regardless

643
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 5: of the competitive circumstances, then I can't be seen on

644
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: the sideline right high fiving people and celebrating or what's

645
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 5: going to happen? Right, what's the effect going to be?

646
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: Right?

647
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 5: So that's why I am like I am during the game. Plus,

648
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 5: I gotta make important decisions manage a game. These decisions

649
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 5: we have to make in terms of games man game management.

650
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 5: When you use timeout, when not to use timeout? You know,

651
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 5: people ask are you ever do you ever get to

652
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 5: enjoy this? And last week I asked Jeff k I said,

653
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 5: we just won the game and I got ten press

654
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 5: conferences I got to do after the game. When am

655
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 5: I going to enjoy this? So no, I do smile

656
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 5: and I am happy at times.

657
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 4: This is one of the reasons I'm so bullish on

658
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: Indiana tonight. His philosophy of keeping it in the moment

659
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: and just this play, I think lends itself to not

660
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 4: getting ahead like we do this on talk radio, because

661
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 4: we get ahead of ourselves and we say, what if

662
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 4: that's part of what we do. I don't think he

663
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: worries about that. You just take care of business right

664
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: now and then take care of business on the next play,

665
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 4: and that leads to first downs, which leads to scoring

666
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: drives and the defense if they just take care of

667
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: this down and the next down, they just take care

668
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: of the business that's in front of them right now. James,

669
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: They're really good at that.

670
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 11: I'm laughing because I can guarantee you Dan Lanning saying

671
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 11: the same exact things. But to your point, Jeff, No,

672
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 11: one's probably been able to better execute that than the Hoosiers.

673
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 11: But also during that answer, Kevin, when I was listening

674
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 11: to it yesterday, I thought, for a second, he is

675
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 11: going to say, when am I going to have time

676
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 11: to enjoy this because I have ten guys I have

677
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 11: to worry about the transfer portal, because that, to me

678
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 11: is also a big part of this run right now,

679
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 11: Like when could he ever really breathe when after any game?

680
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 11: Literally after I want to say, the new year, the

681
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 11: day after you advance and beat Alabama, the portal opened,

682
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 11: and you gotta worry about trying to get new guys

683
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 11: in here for next year. So yeah, the celebrating it

684
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 11: will come at the end, and right now you got

685
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 11: two more wins until you can do that.

686
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 10: I need to double check this stab, But I think

687
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 10: one of the wilder things I've seen on Indiana here

688
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 10: this season. They've played what fourteen games?

689
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 4: Is that right?

690
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 12: Yes?

691
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 10: So they've played fourteen games, and the stat that I

692
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 10: saw is they have been penalized defensively eleven times this season,

693
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 10: And like when I think of college football, you watch

694
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 10: some of these games, I mean, it can be a

695
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 10: penalty fest.

696
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: I mean last night.

697
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: There were a lot of flags. I got a kid

698
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: throw that last night, a lot of critical.

699
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 10: Certainly, don't you know, don't get me started on the

700
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 10: old targeting rule. But you know, you can have a

701
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 10: lot of undisciplined nature and a lot of penalties. And

702
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 10: when you think about you go over the course of

703
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 10: a fourteen game season and you only have eleven defensive penalties,

704
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 10: that might not be the sexiest stat.

705
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 3: In the world.

706
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 10: That might not be something that, you know, whatever, you're

707
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 10: going to lead off a story, you're going to lead

708
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 10: off a signetti, you know, interview with. But that to

709
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 10: me is just the definition of disciplined, well coached, well

710
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 10: executed players that know exactly what their roles are. All

711
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 10: of that, and to me, I don't know that that

712
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 10: one really stood out to me to describe just how

713
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 10: well coached they are.

714
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again I think to your point about getting

715
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 4: Dante more off his spot, he is certainly the key

716
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 4: that makes that engine run, and they did a really

717
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: good job of not letting him get comfortable in that

718
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: first game. And it's to your point of getting him

719
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: off the spot, but it's just making sure that he

720
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 4: is looking for whoever's coming next and that's what he

721
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 4: was doing in that first game when he was sacked

722
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 4: six times. Every quarterback that's alive, I don't care who

723
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 4: you are. You get sacked six times, you start looking

724
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 4: for guys as you're looking for your wide receivers. James,

725
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 4: just instinctively, you're trying to your body. Your brain's trying

726
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 4: to take care of yourself, and you're like, Okay, where's

727
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 4: the next hit coming from?

728
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 11: Absolutely, and they will repeatedly hit you, I mean physically, mentally,

729
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 11: doesn't matter. This team is one of the more complete

730
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 11: teams you've seen in recent years, which is why they're

731
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 11: unblemished to this point.

732
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 4: Real quickly to what we've got just a moment here, Kevin,

733
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 4: you got the Indiana football game tonight. But did you

734
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 4: ever in your life think that you'd say to yourself,

735
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 4: Indiana Nebraska noon on a Saturday, that could be one

736
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 4: of the biggest games of the year for the Hoosiers.

737
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, big one, and it starts to stretch for Darren

738
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 10: De Breeze company, where you know, the big ten. If

739
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 10: you look at it right now, you definitely have a

740
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 10: lot of opportunity, and you know, I think it's just

741
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 10: important for any to get some of that. The non

742
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 10: conference you don't have a lot of substance, you know.

743
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 10: Right now, the only road win is you know, the

744
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 10: worst team in the Big Ten. So yeah, games like

745
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 10: this are going to be important for the resume there.

746
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 10: So yeah, that's a quick turnaround that Don Fisher is

747
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 10: gonna do both. John here spoke with us earlier in

748
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 10: the week.

749
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 4: Indian.

750
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 10: We'll get back to blooming ten around three am. Do

751
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 10: you think do you think you have a cot in

752
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 10: assembly haul for Don Fisher?

753
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: A sweet form is let's just get him a private

754
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: playing with a place to relax and.

755
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 10: The old penthouse in the in the Memorial Union for

756
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 10: Don Fisher. But yeah, that'll be eleven A m Our

757
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 10: coverage over on WIBC coming up.

758
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: Manana, that's gonna be a lot of fun than them.

759
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 4: Perdue tries to keep it rolling tomorrow night at eight

760
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 4: as well as the boiler Makers continue to play at

761
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 4: home and they're looking to play Penn State tomorrow, they

762
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 4: should be able to take care of business there. Should

763
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 4: be able to do that as they just kind of

764
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 4: keep clicking along. I mean, then you know, ho hum,

765
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 4: number five team in the country just keep rolling along.

766
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 11: Is there one loss still just the Iowa State Boat Race.

767
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 11: I think that's the only time they've been yeah this year,

768
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 11: So yeah, ho home.

769
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 4: For sure, and they once again we knew it was coming.

770
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: But the all I don't know that we made a

771
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: big enough deal about it because it probably was forty

772
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: eight hours later when we got back on the air.

773
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: But the setting the all time Big Ten assists record.

774
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 4: When you think of all the great point guards over

775
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 4: the years that have come through the Big Ten, it's

776
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 4: hard to truly put that into perspective, isn't it.

777
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 10: Cab Well And honestly, if you look at it, he's

778
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 10: got a chance to, you know, potentially get to Bobby Hurley,

779
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 10: which is insane when you think about it from that

780
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 10: aspect to it. They did a really nice shot prod

781
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 10: with their game notes they put out there. You know

782
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 10: who the top assist receivers have been from Brad Smith,

783
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 10: and I think obviously you know several are pretty easy

784
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 10: to get, the Trey Kaufman Renz, the Fletcher Lawyers, the

785
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 10: zach Edies. I want to say four and five on

786
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 10: the list was Mason Gillis and Lance Jones. I don't

787
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 10: know if I would have guessed that if you would

788
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 10: have made me name a top five. Certainly Lance Jones

789
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 10: one of the biggest assists, one of the biggest shots

790
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 10: he's hit in program history to kind of ice that

791
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 10: Tennessee game in the Elite eight.

792
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, continues to.

793
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 10: Add to it, and very similar to Indiana Produe is

794
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 10: about ready to get into a gauntlet.

795
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 2: I think they go out West if I'm not mistaken

796
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 2: next weekend. I think they've got Iowa upcoming.

797
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 10: Iowa has been a really nice story here in the

798
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 10: Big Ten, and youdue from a Big Ten standpoint, they

799
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 10: do get Michigan at home, and that is obviously the

800
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 10: class of the Big Ten right now, has been with

801
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 10: Dusty Mays done up there in ann Arbor. So to

802
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 10: get them, from a sketchuling standpoint at home could be

803
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 10: very advantageous when you start to you know, split hair

804
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 10: standy wise as the year moves along, when you.

805
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 4: Look ahead to that game. That's part of a big

806
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: three game stretch for them, which all the three of

807
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: these games will be at home, starting on February seventeenth

808
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 4: against Michigan, but then Friday night that week on the twentieth,

809
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 4: they'll play Indiana and then later on the week after

810
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 4: that they will play at home against number twelve Michigan State.

811
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 4: So that's a big that's a big three game stretch

812
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 4: for them. And you were right, Kevin. They play Iowa

813
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 4: at home next Wednesday, this upcoming Wednesday, and then four

814
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 4: or five on the road.

815
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: So this from my brother in law.

816
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 10: Currently en route to the Peach State half the cars

817
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 10: in the Highway of Indiana Plates just drove past a

818
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 10: lady with her face painted.

819
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: I would think you would have to get away from.

820
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 4: That car pretty quickly.

821
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: You cannot be near a face painted car?

822
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 10: Can you?

823
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: What time you get up to fate paint in your

824
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: face that time?

825
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 4: Have you ever at Indiana? Did you ever, at any

826
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 4: time put paint on your body, your face, anything? I

827
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 4: have never never liked the eye or the end in

828
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 4: a in a student line there.

829
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 2: That artwork is the only time paint has been on

830
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: my body.

831
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 13: I did it one time when we were kids, when

832
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 13: we were going to like a Bear's preseason game. My

833
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 13: brothers and I did it, and I was like, this,

834
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 13: what kind of paint did we use here? I didn't

835
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 13: even know what it was, but I remember we thought

836
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 13: we were so cool. And I'm like, we probably looked

837
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 13: like complete jackasses, but we were like eleven and twelve.

838
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 11: I mean, have you seen the amount of crazy fans

839
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 11: we've seen at games?

840
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 12: I mean the bar is high on that one. My friends,

841
00:38:58,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 12: an adult.

842
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: I have not painted my face. My daughter's a put

843
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 4: makeup on.

844
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 10: Picturing this woman, you know, going through the hotel buffet

845
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 10: in the morning, just scooping some scrambled eggs onto her

846
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 10: play with just the pristine face paints.

847
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 12: Excuse me, this is this is a little limp.

848
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: I think, can you get a refill here?

849
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 6: Yeah?

850
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 4: You got. She's got to go through three full meals

851
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 4: and everything else before she gets to the game tonight.

852
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 10: Well I was gonna say, you got twelve hours so

853
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 10: kick off? Is that paint gonna stay there until? Make

854
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 10: it till ten pm?

855
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 12: Help her out questions?

856
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 10: Hey, if I'm driving by that car, either I'm gunning

857
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 10: past it or I'm slowing way down.

858
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: I cannot be next to that car.

859
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 12: I'll tell you what.

860
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 11: That is a good problem to have for this woman

861
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 11: on this morning, because a lot of us like being

862
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 11: her shoes going to this game.

863
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 4: Let's check out what our next guest would say pre

864
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: game tonight, Greg rag Straw, Indiana native, Indiana legend, He's

865
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 4: been around all of them. And we'll talk about the

866
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 4: Hoosiers taking on the Oregon Ducks right now, Greg, what

867
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 4: do you think Kurt Signetti's pregame speech sounds like tonight.

868
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 7: Almost the same thing it is every week, and that's

869
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 7: what makes his us work is that Indiana just does

870
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 7: the same thing and focuses on the same thing and

871
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 7: keeps having the same results, which is good for Indiana

872
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 7: a football fan, so I don't think he changes it

873
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 7: up a bit given the factor on the National semi

874
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 7: final to night.

875
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 10: Rake, we still have a good amount of high school

876
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 10: games on the schedule for tonight.

877
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: I know some move, but we still got to go

878
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: to Mount.

879
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 7: Right correct, And so I think I saw John Harrell,

880
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 7: who obviously is the keeper of all of these things.

881
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 7: There were originally one hundred and fifty something games on

882
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 7: the schedule, and maybe thirty additional games got moved till

883
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 7: last night. So obviously the biggest one last night that

884
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 7: moved was pikeing Fisher's Warren Central Laws North moved to

885
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 7: last night, New Albany and Jeff down South moved last

886
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 7: night Cocomo and Logansport moved last night, but I'm working

887
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 7: this evening, so I'm on opposite the game. I've got

888
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 7: North Central and Ben Davis a girls and boys doubleheader.

889
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 7: So I believe about seventy five percent of the games

890
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 7: that were scheduling played tonight ended up being this evening.

891
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 10: Rag This question might have a different answer in fifteen days.

892
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 10: But if you were to compare the wilder nature Butler's

893
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 10: back to back runs to the final game in April

894
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 10: or what Indiana football's done.

895
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 7: I would say Indiana. And again, Indiana being in a

896
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 7: power conference when Butler was not at the time makes

897
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 7: Indiana's path to doing this easier. But again, we had

898
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 7: a history of success with Butler basketball. They made the

899
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 7: Sweet sixteen in two thousand and three, they made the

900
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 7: Sweet sixteen in two thousand and seven, and frankly, Butler's

901
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 7: runs came at a time where you saw George Mason

902
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 7: VCU and others you know, at least make runs the

903
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 7: final four, if not the national championship game. For Indiana,

904
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 7: there was nothing heading into Kurt Signetti's first game as

905
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 7: the head coach last fall that told you anything like

906
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 7: this was possible. Than him saying produce sucks, but so

907
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 7: does Ohio State and Michigan, and so it's the one

908
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 7: thing that is even in the same neighborhood. But nothing

909
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 7: compares to this rake.

910
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 11: Every time I think about this Hoosiers run, I think

911
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 11: of the movie Hoo's Yours, and the premise of that

912
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 11: movie is being sort of the Cinderella, right, the ultimate underdog.

913
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 11: But that is not what this Indiana team and this

914
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 11: program have become. So how do you view it from

915
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 11: that perspective? I don't know, I'm putting you on the

916
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 11: spot here, but from a movie perspective, it doesn't feel

917
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 11: like Cinderella to me.

918
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 7: No, this would be Cinderella if she was blessed and

919
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 7: Mama said knock you out in her boombunch. This is

920
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 7: a group that again, and it's and it's why the

921
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 7: level of confidence for success is largely high. They're not

922
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 7: having to out scheme yet, they're not having a trick

923
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 7: youa They're they're they're maybe smarter than you, but not

924
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 7: trying to God smart you. They did pretty much go

925
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 7: We're going to run the ball right here and you

926
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 7: can do nothing about it, and you're going to try

927
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 7: to run the ball and you can do nothing about it,

928
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 7: and we are going to beat you up and take

929
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 7: your will. So it's Cinderella with a mean right hook,

930
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 7: is what this is? James.

931
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 4: Let me ask you. I'm going to flip it around

932
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 4: just a little bit. Because we've been so and rightfully

933
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 4: so positive with Indiana, what they've accomplished and what they're doing.

934
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 4: Is there anything that worries you for the Hoosiers tonight?

935
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 7: I would say the only thing that worries me is

936
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 7: the fact that Oregon has seen them before. And I

937
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 7: know Indiana won by ten. I know Indiana won at

938
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 7: their place, and I know that frankly, there was a

939
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 7: couple of Indiana mistakes that led to Oregon's touchdowns. But

940
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 7: at the same time, I think there is something to

941
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 7: having played Indiana before and having an idea as to

942
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 7: what to expect and what you are going to see.

943
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 7: So the fact that the Ducks are more familiar with

944
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 7: Indiana tells me this is going to be a competitive game,

945
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 7: which is why I think, you know, the betting line

946
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 7: has been a little bit lower for this one, then

947
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 7: say other games.

948
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 4: Greg Greg Straw joining us on pay Less Slickers Hotline

949
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: thoughts on the Chris Ballard press conference yesterday.

950
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 7: Frankly, I've heard this press conference before and so it's

951
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 7: why I wasn't as dial entertuned into it. And in

952
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 7: that scenario, there's he said all the right things you're

953
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 7: supposed to say. Now it's about backing and up with actions. Now,

954
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 7: that is the step for this football team. And so

955
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 7: we'll see what changes getting made in the offseason in

956
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 7: terms of personnel. Obviously, from the sounds of it, sounds

957
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 7: like there could be some defensive changes which are obviously needed.

958
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 7: You know, the offensive priorities are pretty cut and dry.

959
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 7: Bring back Daniel Jones, bring back Alec Pierce. So I

960
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 7: don't think there was anything that shocked me because unlike

961
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 7: IU football, this is something we have seen before. We've

962
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 7: heard the script a lot over the course of the

963
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 7: last several years.

964
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 11: Rag last one for me, do you view the pressure

965
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 11: on Chris Ballard? Not get it, he's in year ten now,

966
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 11: But do you view it any differently now that for

967
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 11: the first time in his tenure he's entering the last

968
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 11: year of his contract without an extension.

969
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 7: You know what, I really don't think that that big

970
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 7: of a deal. And here's why. I mean, what we're

971
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 7: talking about. I don't know what Chris's salary is, but

972
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 7: it's somewhere in the in the single digit millions of dollars. Right,

973
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 7: two hundred and eighty ish million dollars is what you

974
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 7: spend on NFL salary in a given year. I really

975
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 7: don't think that's the problem. That would be, you know,

976
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 7: penny wise, pounds fool or something along those lines. I

977
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 7: don't think that is a factor in this decision, JB.

978
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 4: I really don't. Greg. Have a great weekend. Enjoy watching

979
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 4: this game tonight and all the things that come over

980

Speaker 4: the weekend as well. We'll talk to you again soon, buddy.

981

983
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,880

984
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 4: biggest game and who's your football history tonight, Kevin. There'll

985
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 4: be another one in next week. If they can win

986
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 4: this one.

987
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it could be four in a row, right.

988
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 10: You obviously started in the Big Ten Championship game, and

989
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 10: then the Rose Bowl and then the Peach Bowl and

990
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 10: maybe a week from Monday down there in Miami.

991
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 4: All right, Uh, Indiana getting ready to go for the

992
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,240
