1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Another weekend in a history and series the last two 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: years of huge weekends here in Indianapolis. Got a lot 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: going on. First place on the line of the AFC 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: South on Sunday, first place in the Big Ten on 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: the line tomorrow night in football at Lucas Oil Stadium, 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: and then you got some unbelievable matchups for college basketball 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: over the next twenty four to thirty six hours or so. 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: You got the Pacers in Chicago tonight. So much going on. 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: We had a great Thursday night football game last night. 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: If you had the over. If last night, if you 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: took and teased up Kevin the over at seventy three and. 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: A half, you won. 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: How about that? 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, highest over under in the NFL this season and 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: that number was easily a clip. So Jason Hammer a winner. 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 2: He gave us Lions minus three forty four to thirty. Right, 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 2: was that the first? 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: I was it for those that stayed up for it 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: last night. So that Lion's offense still plenty of potency. 21 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: Important win for them and the Dow Cowboys will have 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: to fight and uphill climb to get into the playoff picture. 23 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: Good morning, James, what everybody coming up all bundled up today. 24 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: I got my sweater and the long sleeve shirt underneath that. 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: Caleb's rocking in here for Mark Dyke today.

I was like, boy, I'm getting 37 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 4: pretty old these days. But no, you know, this time 38 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 4: of year, I feel like it is what it is. 39 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 4: If I could legally change my birthday is July fifth, 40 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 4: I would. 41 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: We like it.

This is always around finals time. 51 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 4: So I never really had a chance to, like, on 52 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: the actual birthday, do anything kind of crazy. 53 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 5: But my sister, shout out to Jessica. 54 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 4: She works at a bank, so she gets all of 55 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 4: the Columbus Day and random days. 56 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 5: You think are just for schools. 57 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 4: She gets all those off, and she definitely never works 58 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 4: on her birthday, So shou out to her. 59 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: So Kevin, I don't know if Kevin's wondering.

I know your family. I saw 70 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: Max yesterday. You had the he chose the Colts yesterday. 71 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: If you want to go check that out online. It's 72 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: always in one of my favorite videos of the week. 73 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: He's already like he doesn't care. He's wearing shorts outside 74 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: in the cold. I noticed that yesterday too. 75 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: Yes, we did film that earlier this week amidst the snow. 76 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: He did rock some shorts in it and some sunglasses. 77 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 4: Had to be scared for us. I actually went and 78 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 4: looked outside. I was like, don't have to clime my 79 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: car off right now. 80 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was recorded a little bit earlier in the week. 81 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: Sorry to strike fear, but yes, he seems to be 82 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: a little bit more biased towards the Colts lightly. But 83 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: we'll give our picks later in the show, and I 84 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: think Dad will be like Sun, I really think the 85 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: Colts will win on Sunday. I know I'm not unanimous 86 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: and not thinking I think in studio, but I do 87 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: think the Colts will get it done. And obviously, what 88 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: is a monumental one coming up Sunday afternoon? 89 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to talk about that right after bat. 90 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: This is it what I call this is and really 91 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: everything in life is an opportunity, but this is a 92 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: big opportunity game for the Indianapolis Cults. I know they've 93 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: lost two of the last three. I know that they're 94 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: not technically in first place in the AFC South right now. 95 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: But here's a chance to take that first eight weeks 96 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: of the season where you put all that equity in 97 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: the bank and say, you know what, this is who 98 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: we are going to be moving forward. We are going 99 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: to go in on the road against a divisional opponent 100 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: and you can rationalize the lost to Houston all you want. 101 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: You can talk about. You know, the kicker messed up, 102 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: the referee had a series of bad calls at the 103 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: beginning of the fourth quarter that completely hosed us. Whatever, 104 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: you bounce back, you go on the road, you go 105 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: to a place James where you haven't won in a decade, 106 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: and you say this is who we are. I would 107 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: like to see the Colts with a beautiful mix of 108 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: run pass, But at the end of the day, I 109 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: want to see the Colts put a bloody lip on 110 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. I want to see Clinton. I want 111 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: to see Quinton Nelson in that offensive line, just dominate 112 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: up front. I want to see Jonathan Taylor carry the 113 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: ball twenty five times for one hundred and thirty yards 114 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: in a touchdown or two. I want them to leave 115 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: Duval and leave a mark on the way out. That's 116 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: what I want this week. Start a Friday morning. 117 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 6: Guys, you got blood all week long. 118 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: You got body left there? 119 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: Ye bloody lift Colton won in the last month was 120 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: the Daniel Jones bloody lip. 121 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: I want to I was trying to give somebody else 122 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: that bloody lip this week. 123 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: I think the Colts need the bloody lip. Right, isn't 124 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: the only win in the last month Daniel Jones' bloody lips. 125 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 5: So you got to take a shot, give a shot. 126 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: Whatever it is. 127 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: I want blood left on that field that I want 128 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: to win. 129 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: Coming home, well, there might be some things in that pool. 130 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: I don't know what's in that. 131 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 4: Pool, but the fan base is certainly welcome a win 132 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 4: for this team. But as I told you all, we'll 133 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: give our picks later in the show. I'll never pick 134 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: them to win in Jacksonville to I see with my 135 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 4: mom two us. I don't care what happens. I mean, 136 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: I actually think they're a better team than Jacksonville right 137 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 4: now at this very moment. But I will not pick 138 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: them because I was actually I put it out this morning. 139 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 4: I went through, uh, the last ten losses. None of 140 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 4: it makes sense. So if you try to lose logic 141 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 4: in this, I feel like you're doing that with disservice. 142 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: The one this may be the one lingering thing that 143 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: does stick with me in this series of the last 144 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: decade for Jacksonville. The one game that I'll just never 145 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: get over Kevin is the six to nothing game. I've 146 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: never understand that game and get over it. 147 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the six to nothing game. I think you can 148 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: largely chalk it up to somehow Frank w Reich's just 149 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: inability to concede a field goal, which I know a 150 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: lot of people have been bitching a moaning about Shane 151 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: Steikin's aggressiveness. They had I think five drives reached Jacksonville 152 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: territory in that game and just never kicked. Never tried 153 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: it out of military out there at some fourth downs. 154 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: It did not work out. You know. The most egregious 155 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: one is probably the twenty twenty one loss. Considering you 156 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: were playing for your playoff lives, Jacksonville had nothing to 157 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: play for Lawan Treadwell, who now is a cult special teamer, 158 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: score the first touchdown that game. So yeah, the streak 159 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: is a streak. I tried to offer some optimism yesterday. 160 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 2: The streak started ten years ago, Week fourteen. 161 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm here for it, Kevin. 162 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: Now it ends years later, I'm here for it week fourteen. 163 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: I think the. 164 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: One consistent thing, James, and I certainly hear you out. 165 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 2: You know, there's been various scores, there's been various quarterbacks, 166 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: while the faces have changed. I think the one constant 167 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: is the Jaguars defensive line is absolutely with the Colts 168 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: offensive line on an annual basis, and that, once again, 169 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: to me, is the top of the storyline for Sunday, 170 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: and the Jaguars d lines will beat up right now. 171 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: The Colts offensive line once again is intact. I mean, 172 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: the health of the offensive line this year has just 173 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: been a dream. I get the Colts have had some 174 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: other injuries, but it's been a dream scenario to have 175 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: that group intact, and they need to I guess bloody 176 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: lip the Jags. If I could steal something from Jeff there, 177 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: so yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I thought Blake 178 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: Groupy had a little pop in the five to seven 179 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: leg yesterday. 180 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 4: Who was that a perfect seven for seven James, Yes, 181 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: including what a sixty plus yarder felt like at the 182 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: end of that kicking session. But as many pointed out 183 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: to me on social media, they were telling me, we 184 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 4: don't care about the distance. Make the pats and make 185 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 4: those short ones that have kind of plague you this year. 186 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: Smattering of applause and Blake group he got done with 187 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: his kicking session yesterday. From his teammates and a few 188 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: coaches in there, I thought Daniel Jones was moving a 189 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: little better. I don't want to act like it's, you know, 190 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: crystal clear, but maybe call it. He looked like you 191 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: getting out of the bed at the age of thirty 192 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: versus Mark Dyton getting out of the bed Sunday at 193 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: the age of forty. 194 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 5: That's probably. 195 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: Uh, I'm good with that. I mean, I know Mark 196 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: will be good with that. He'll probably defend himself to 197 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 4: some audio. Yeah exactly that. 198 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: We need to play audio Mark all day. 199 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 5: I'm definitely teeing kick kick a parcel wall. 200 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: They're down dial some of that up. 201 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is we're in the last real marketing hours 202 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: of our time in this studio with all these computers 203 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: before we upgrade to everything brand new, uh coming up 204 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and so just empty it all out. I 205 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: find whatever you can't want. 206 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 4: To give a shout out to Kenny Moore the second 207 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 4: he is the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year 208 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: nominee for the Colts. There's a lot in the community, 209 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 4: teaches over at Cardinal Ritter on Tuesdays. Stay tuned on 210 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 4: that as far as the story I'm working on. But yeah, 211 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: he's a really good dude, well deserving. So it's cool 212 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: to hear Kaylen Jackson come in Colts owner give him 213 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 4: his flowers. And then it was funny because Kevin I 214 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 4: thought he was more nervous in that press conference and 215 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 4: you normally ever see Kenny. He gave maybe like a 216 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 4: fifteen second acceptance speech and that was it. I was like, 217 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 4: you know, you want to say a little bit more. 218 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 4: I want to brag a little bit more about yourself. 219 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: He's just not that type. But he really is well 220 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: deserving and just a really cool dude overall. 221 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, third time right that he has been the Colts 222 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: nominee for that, and you know he has done so much, 223 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: not only in our community, but also back in the 224 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: Valdosta area or back you know, in his home community 225 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: as well. And you know I said this to him 226 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: when he joined us at training camp. Kenny's a hell 227 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: of a story. He's just a hell of an NFL story, 228 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: a story period. But you know, label it in the 229 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: NFL world, you know, to be the undrafted free agent again. 230 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: He started in New England. I know I've shared this 231 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: story before, but the Colts played the Patriots early in 232 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen season and it was when Bill Belichick 233 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: was still the coach, and that was back when we 234 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 2: did the visiting coach conference call, and I thought to myself, 235 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: you know what, what is a question I could ask 236 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: Belichick that I won't get some curmudgeties on a Cincinnati 237 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: answer exactly. And I thought, you know what, let's ask 238 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: Kenny Moore question. Who knows, maybe he'll be like, yeah, 239 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: that dude was an undrafted free agent for four months 240 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: and I don't even remember what number he wore. H 241 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 2: And he gave about a two to three minute answer 242 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 2: on Kenny Moore And I'm thinking to myself, Damn, this 243 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: dude's been in the league for a little over a year. 244 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: Spent four months on your roster and you're given an 245 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: answer that's longer than anything else in this conference call. 246 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: And so that was still kind of early Kenny. And 247 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 2: obviously on the field and off the field, it speaks 248 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: for itself what he's done here, so very very deserving 249 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: and a guy that loves the local area. And certainly 250 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: Saturday nights it will be quite the scene in downtown Indianapolis. 251 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: So Purdue fans stay outside of four sixty five. You 252 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: might have your Monday in April coming up in a 253 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: few months downtown, But for Saturday Night, it is cream 254 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: and it is Crimson. 255 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk all about that.

That one will tip off at eight o'clock. 271 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: Pregame at seven point thirty, and Kevin Bowen Ben Shephard 272 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: now has a calf injury and we'll miss the game. 273 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, everybody's out a calf injury, right, So I 274 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: would assume Jars Walker gets a little starting action here 275 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: for the Pacers. So yeah, up in Chicago tonight, we'll 276 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: see about Kobe White, one of their better players. He's 277 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: been dealing with some injuries. And these teams have already 278 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: faced off fights they split so far.

Iowa State can score and no team is 307 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: shot at better in college basketball this year than the Cyclones. 308 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 2: So yeah, I would venture to guest Tyres Haliburton might 309 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: make a visit. 310 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: All right, that's what's on our basketball schedule over the 311 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: next twenty four hours or so.

So I 344 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: believe that it's noon tomorrow they are I think a 345 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: twelve point favorite over BYU Alabama Georgia. If you're an 346 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: under name fan, you want Georgia in that one. So yeah, busy, 347 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: busy day on the college championship front. But of course 348 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: nothing bigger in this market than tomorrow night. And again 349 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: it's ideal. You got house money because even if you lose, 350 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: you play for a trip to the National semi finals 351 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: in a month, which is a dream. 352 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: How much fun is it to see that Georgia and 353 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: Alabama are playing at four pm in a conference championship 354 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, but that's just like the appetizer 355 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: for today. We got to get to the Indiana game. James. 356 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: Love that different world we're living in. It's a different 357 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: world war, and I'm here for it all right. NFL 358 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: Week fourteen started last night Thursday Night Football. The Detroit 359 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: Lions put forty four on the Dallas Cowboys. They went 360 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: at forty four to thirty three touchdowns, rushing for one 361 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: Jamayor Gibbs at forty three yards, but man, he was 362 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: hitting the goal line every time. Snaps a three game 363 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys winning streak, having to leave the game with a 364 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: concussion wide receiver C. D Lamb, and then George Pickens 365 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: becoming famous for not even trying to catch a football 366 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: that looked like it was ready to be caught on 367 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: a long pass down field. I don't know if you 368 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: saw that highlight this morning, Kevin. 369 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Richard Sherman was not holding back at all and 370 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: kind of calling George Pickens out for that one. So big, 371 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 2: big win. For the fighting Dan Campbell's as they prove 372 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: that that offense still has a lot of potency in it. 373 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: And for Dallas, they've got a steep climb to get 374 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: into the playoffs. 375 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: Okay. Meanwhile, the Colts will play in Jacksonville on Sunday 376 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: one pm. Pregame starts at ten. You'll hear all right 377 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: here on ninety three five and one oh seven five 378 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: the Fan Big News yesterday. Kenny Moore is the Walter 379 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: Peyton Man of the Year for the Colts, and man, 380 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: you talked about some of the great works that he does. 381 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: But what I liked about learning more about that story 382 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: James is not as you go to Cardinal Ritter and 383 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: hang out with kids, but he spends like every week 384 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: a couple hours with those kids, building long lasting, long 385 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: term relationships. 386 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 4: Not surprised if you know the man who is kennymore 387 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 4: the set and so that's one of many things he 388 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 4: does in the community. And it was an easy choice 389 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: for him to be nominated for the third time as 390 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 4: the Colts Walter Payton Man of the Year. 391 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: All Right, both teams Colts Jaguars eight and four on 392 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: the season, Jaguars technically in first place in the AFC 393 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: South Colts can change all that and also break a 394 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: ten game road losing streak against Jacksonville with a win. 395 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the NFL NBA. Last night a 396 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: notable event James. Did you see Lebron James streak of 397 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 1: one thousand, two hundred and ninety seven consecutive games scoring 398 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: double figures comes to an end. He's held to eight points, 399 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: but he gets the last laugh and Lebron James face 400 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: fashion the key assist on the game winning bucket. 401 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I watched it. 402 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 4: I was streaming it because I want to see history 403 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 4: either way, and I think it's funny how people frame 404 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 4: it as, Oh, he sacrificed to streak to win the game, 405 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 4: which to a degree he did. He could have shot 406 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 4: it with the tai game. Could have shot it. You 407 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 4: make it, you get the ten points, you miss, you 408 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 4: got overtime. Do you have more time to get your 409 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 4: ten points? He shot four for seventeen. He shot a 410 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 4: bunch of bricks like he didn't sacrifice anything, and look 411 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 4: credits to where credit is due. It was kind of 412 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 4: poetic how it ended with him making the right play. 413 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 4: That's Lebron's thing, right, make the right play. The man 414 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 4: looks washed. I was watching him, he looks old, and 415 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 4: you know, he looks like me getting up this morning. 416 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: Now he looks like Daniel Jones last week. If we 417 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: want to continue that analogy. There one thing that I 418 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: thought was just amazing. They threw up the graphic last night. 419 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 2: You mentioned Jeff on two hundred ninety seven straight games. Yeah, 420 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 2: only twenty four players in NBA history have ever played 421 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: that many games. Oh wow, And he had a streak 422 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: of double digit points in that amount, and he's one 423 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 2: where like he whenever it's said and done for him, 424 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 2: he's gonna have all of these just absolutely absurd stats. Yeah, 425 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 2: that will never be reached like that. Only twenty four 426 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 2: dudes in the history of the NBA that have played 427 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 2: that many games. And he had double digit points and 428 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: all them. 429 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's crazy. 430 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 4: They said that he has nine single digit regular season 431 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 4: games in his career and he's been to the finals 432 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: ten times, So you have more finals appearance, you have 433 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 4: single discording. 434 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: Is this that's crazy? It's crazy. 435 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: That is maybe the most put it in perspective stat 436 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: I've ever heard. 437 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 438 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: Well, like I said, you know, I'm Jeff enjoy watching 439 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 4: Lebron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Urant. The latter two still 440 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 4: look like stars. This dude boy is getting later early 441 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 4: for the whole Bron. 442 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: I do want to update one coaching search. Penn State 443 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: continues to have troubles. They are now focusing on Iowa 444 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: State's Matt Campbell. It looks like Sataki's gonna be out 445 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: of it. From BYU, he looks like he's gonna stay 446 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: there with the cougar's there. But check this out. If 447 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: Matt Campbell turns them down. The players are openly lobbying 448 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: administration now for acting head coach Terry Smith to get 449 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: the job. He's been an assistant head coach and a 450 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: cornerback coach for a couple of years now. And I 451 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: hadn't even thought about this, but I was watching one 452 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: of the analysis James, and when the portal opens, we 453 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: already know that James Franklin's taken eleven then commits from 454 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: Penn State with him to Virginia Tech. And people are saying, yeah, wait, 455 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: you see what happens to the Penn State roster when 456 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: the portal opens and they all go follow him to 457 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. How crazy would that be. 458 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 4: We'll see, but it's such a weird development for Penn State, 459 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 4: say the least man. 460 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: It truly is. Uh, that's the world we're living in. 461 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: Penn State can't buy themselves a coach. Alabama and Georgia 462 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: are the warm up game, and Indiana and Ohio State 463 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: are taking center stage.

Kevin Bowen got to create 511 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 5: that tip jar let's go. 512 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: James, you're going. 513 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: No umbrella, you said? 514 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 5: And Jackson, no umbrella. I don't bring umbrellas anywhere. Okay. 515 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 4: Two things that I just don't have or probably will 516 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 4: never buy less I'm forced. Maybe the significant other in 517 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 4: years to come will force me. But snow boots. I 518 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: will never wear those again in my life. I hated 519 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: him when I was growing up. I feel like I 520 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: was the lamest kid ever when I ever had to 521 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 4: wear them the school And we're not in Siberia. You 522 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 4: got a couple of little bit of snow get to 523 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 4: the school, You're fine. And umbrellas. I feel like I'm 524 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 4: never walking outside long enough for me to have an umbrella. 525 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: Sunday's forecast in Jacksonville hours early becoming a steady rain 526 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 2: later in the day. Potential for heavy rainfall, rainfall possibly 527 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: over one inch. 528 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 5: I'll bring the like the rain parka cold. 529 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: I got a couple of Nike hoodies that are like that, 530 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: so I'll bring that and I'll be fine. 531 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: Rain better for the Colts of the Jags. 532 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 5: Oh, good question. I'll probably go Colts. They can run it. 533 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 4: Jt still an MVP caliber player, just needs to get 534 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 4: unlocked a little bit with his offensive line. 535 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: Old line's gotta give him some help here. Let me 536 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: ask you guys this. I was thinking about this on 537 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: the on the way in this morning, in the non 538 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, non star realm for the Colts. Who really 539 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: needs to have a good football game on Sunday off 540 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: the line? 541 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I said it earlier. Again, I think the Jags 542 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 2: have whipped the Colts up front in this whatever decade 543 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 2: long streak down there. And yeah, I think that is 544 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 2: the number one key for me. And you know, Jacksonville 545 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: a little banged up on their offensive line. They'll be 546 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 2: likely without their left tackle. They're also gonna be without 547 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: their leading snap guy on defense, one of their starting safeties. 548 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 2: So Basically, if you put that into Colts terms, you're 549 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: looking at like a Bernard Ryman Zire Franklin loss in 550 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: a game. I would say that's rather notable. I obviously, 551 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: I know the Colts are dealing with their own injuries 552 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: with Buckner and him Sauce Gardner, but still Jacksonville gonna 553 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 2: be a little banged up. But yeah, I just boiled 554 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 2: down to the trenches. 555 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: Speaking of the trenches, I keep waiting and waiting and waiting. 556 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: Is there a breakout game in sight and a consistent 557 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: breakout game in sight? Consistent consistency being the key for 558 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: a lot. 559 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 5: To I'm not sure. Honestly. 560 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 4: I know he has what the three interceptions, and it's 561 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 4: the most in a single season for a Cols defensive lineman. 562 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 4: That to me is like an anomaly. He made a 563 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 4: great play, don't get me wrong, against Patrick Mahone a 564 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 4: few weeks ago. But when I look at his career, 565 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: we might look up at the end of it and 566 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 4: say he never got another interception again, cause it's just 567 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 4: kind of weird, like that you paid him and you 568 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 4: drafted him that high because you want him to get 569 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 4: after the quarterback and he doesn't do that. Have a 570 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 4: consistent basis, and what's weird about it is Kevin We're 571 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 4: talking about this actually with Mike Chapel. Shout out to 572 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 4: the Dean Fox fifty nine in the media room yesterday, 573 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 4: and he's on the list of all of the pressures 574 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 4: and you know, time to get after the quarterback and 575 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: QB hits. But it's not sacks. It's so weird that 576 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 4: he can't finish plays into a degree. I'm not saying 577 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 4: he's like a complete bus or anything. I think Abdul 578 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 4: Carter in New York for the Giants is what you 579 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 4: would call a bus. So far, I think he has 580 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: one and a half sacks through thirteen fourteen games. Latchu's 581 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: been fine, but that's not good enough for a first 582 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: round pick. You need him to be a disruptor and 583 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 4: a game changer. And really that's the next step I 584 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 4: think for this defense to take a leap, especially in 585 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 4: the absence of DeForest Buckner. 586 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: Well. One thing too about Lotswo is when you drafted him, 587 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: you know he was pretty ready made in the sense 588 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: of he produced at a high level in college. A 589 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 2: little bit of an older player as well. You know, 590 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 2: sometimes you see pass rushers drafted in Round one, and 591 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: you're drafting a little bit more on potential, a little 592 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: bit more on Hey, they maybe didn't have the crazy 593 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 2: eye poppy numbers, but we think we can kind of 594 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: mold that Clay. That was not really the thought with Lots. 595 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the thought was he would walk into the 596 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: NFL and, compared to most young pass rushers, would be 597 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: able to give you pretty instant impact. And yeah, I 598 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: think you're just left wanting a little bit more in 599 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 2: the finishing of plays department. 600 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have to get some kind of 601 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: pressure on Trevor Lawrence, I think, to make this run 602 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: down the stretch and it starts on Sunday against Trevor Lawrence, 603 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: and you'd like, I keep I don't know, I keep 604 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: waiting for him to have like that two sac day 605 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: where he starts to maybe build on that and get 606 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: some confidence and show himself that hey, I could be 607 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: a game disruptor beyond just use great play against Kansas City. 608 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: But that's why he was brought here to be that guy, right, 609 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you expect him to necessarily 610 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: be like Miles Garrett, but you'd like to see him 611 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: be a guy that puts consistent pressure on the defense 612 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: or the offense. 613 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 2: Who's the better player at their position? Miles Garrett or 614 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys kicker. Is the Dallas Cowboys kicker the 615 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: greatest player in the NFL? Right now? 616 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: Are you allowed to ever choose a kicker over any 617 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: defensive player? Like that thing? 618 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 2: You just compare that player to the rest of position. 619 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: You compare that player to the rest of his position. 620 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: Is Brandon Aubrey that much better than everybody else at 621 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: his position? I think Miles Garrett would be the only 622 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: other player. I'm still taking Miles, but yeah, yeah, but 623 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: like it's the only question in my opinion. And I 624 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: say that in all seriousness. 625 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: So you're saying, like him and the gap between the 626 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 4: next person, So you're compared to his quarterbacks, comparing Jonathan 627 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 4: Taylor to all the running You might be right because 628 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 4: I also going to him and I was like, boy. 629 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: Did you see how many sixty two last night? 630 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? 631 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 4: I was thinking, like, how many teams would you know 632 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 4: trade a pick for him? 633 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 3: Can you? 634 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 4: I'm dead serious, Like, if you're a playoff team and 635 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 4: you know you're gonna get into the get into the dance, if. 636 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 2: You could give up a Day two pick. Would you 637 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: do it to ensure that you have the best kick 638 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: round pick to trade for a kick second or third 639 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 2: round pick? That dude, exactly, I'm serious. 640 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 4: If you're the New England Patriots, if you're the Denver Broncos, 641 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 4: you're like, you know what we might act? I just 642 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 4: got that going to run here we needed we didn't 643 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 4: make sure we, you know, top some loose ends. 644 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: I want a soccer player another Dame Brandon Aubrey. By 645 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: the way, we have the FIFA World Cup drawl.

We've already qualified. Why because 651 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: we're hosting? That sounds a little Is. 652 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 5: That the only reason? Seriously? Yeah, that's hilarious. 653 00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm looking forward to. 654 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 5: But I think. 655 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 4: I enjoy watching what everyone else is kind of locked into, 656 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 4: which is why I watched the World Series and stayed 657 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 4: up that one night super late to see how it 658 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 4: ended or was it eighteen innings or whatever it is. 659 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 4: So I think seeing the excitement from the different fan base, 660 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 4: especially the countries, is always something that I don't want 661 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: to miss out on. 662 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 663 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 4: So, and then just the moment. I mean, it's what's 664 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 4: once every four years, man, So if you miss it 665 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 4: or if you make the moment, it's always pretty exciting. 666 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: I was doing some research over the weekname lou Annaarumo's 667 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: defenses have beaten the Jacksonville Jaguars four consecutive games dating 668 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty. Does that matter? Does that mean anything? 669 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence struggling against lou I'll. 670 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 5: Not have to go back and look at what his 671 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 5: numbers actually are. 672 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: They've scored some points, but they've come up short. 673 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: They've scored Yeah, I thought I looked up in earlier 674 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: in the week. Twenty one and thirty one I think 675 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 2: are the point totals with Lawrence as quarterback. I guess 676 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 2: some of those games maybe includes not Trevor Lawrence a quarterback. 677 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, last year every so, yeah. 678 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: I mean twenty one and thirty one. I those striking 679 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: me as a decent point totals. Of you average that out. 680 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's only three games because the list 681 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: included the matchup between the Bengals and Jacksonville this year obviously, 682 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: and it wasn't the defensive coordinator then, but at least 683 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: he's come up on the right side of things against 684 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: them the last three times he's played him. James, I'll 685 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: take that. I'm looking for anything right now because I 686 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: still think that the cults are a bit better. I 687 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: think they have the opportunity to right themselves. Daniel Jones, 688 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: did he look like he was moving any better with 689 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: with helping Australia? Could you really tell? Could you see anything? 690 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 4: He looked better than he did a week ago from yesterday, 691 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 4: for sure, But at the same time genius analysis from 692 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 4: James Boyd here tune in. 693 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 5: People. 694 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 4: You always look a little better when you don't have 695 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 4: big people diving at your leg. So how does it 696 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 4: feel on Sunday? 697 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: Look, I mean I legitimately and James, you obviously had 698 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 2: that video last Thursday. I think if you compare the 699 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 2: last Thursday video to this Thursday, he definitely looks better. 700 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I don't think it's by any means. You know, 701 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 2: if you really want to die like the video, you 702 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 2: still see that foot dragon a little bit and that 703 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 2: you definitely and I think in the video that you 704 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: had James. You saw like a noticeable limp after Yeah, 705 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: the specifics he don't want to put on his leg 706 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: last week, whereas this week I didn't notice that as much. Yesterday, 707 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: Well his former college team had gave him a bionic leg. 708 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. 709 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 5: He's like, well Smith and I robot. 710 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: Maybe the confidence is just up to the education. 711 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 712 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 4: Confidence might be might not be enough to fix your fibula. 713 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 4: I think it's drugs and a nice pad they I. 714 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: Mean confidence in that sometimes when when it's new and 715 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: you're trying to deal with it and what's this going 716 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: to be like and how's it going to react? I 717 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: think you are initially a lot more protective of it 718 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: as opposed to you start to get more comfortable. Now 719 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: you've got that little little uh device that is that 720 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: his former duke roommate built that that's maybe giving him 721 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: support and maybe he doesn't feel like it hurts as 722 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: much as it did. I'm just saying maybe he feels 723 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: a lot more comfortable with this. 724 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 4: Is like when Nathan Brown shout out to Nathan Brown, 725 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 4: I love his work at Indy Star, New Colts Beat reporter. 726 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 4: He did ask Daniel Jones earlier this week, is it 727 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 4: almost beneficial to get hit in the leg so you 728 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 4: know you can take a hit. And Daniel looked at 729 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 4: him and was like, no, not necessarily. 730 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: I was waiting for Damshell's feel like that is an idiotical. 731 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: I think he probably meant it in the vein of 732 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: a lot of players say that they don't feel like 733 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: they really get juiced into the game until they take that. 734 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 4: I think it's the confidence thing, like Kate Ken, you know, 735 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 4: am I not going to like freak out if I 736 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 4: get hit? But I was thinking he's probably, you know, 737 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 4: willing to avoid testing that theory out. 738 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 2: Better chance the streaking Jacksonville ends or the streak over 739 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 2: Ohio State ends. 740 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 5: Oh Jacksonville for sure, Jacksonville for sure. 741 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: I feel like. 742 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 6: Kevin is just a master with these questions. 743 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: Question. 744 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: I think people talk about the Jacksonville thing is a curse? 745 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: Is the Ohio State thing a curse? Or I think 746 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 2: it's been a lot better. 747 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 5: That's a I think that's just a different level than. 748 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 2: Thirty years about it. I just think Tomorrow Night is 749 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: such an awesome feeling for a fan because it's house money, 750 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 2: like it's one versus two. But the ramifications if you lose, 751 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: like usually when you talk about the biggest game in 752 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: your fandom's history, there. 753 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 5: Are some heartbreak on the other side of that. 754 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, there are tears if the result doesn't 755 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 2: go your way. Season's over, the other rival wins, you know, 756 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, the dream is done. Like, no matter 757 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 2: what happens tomorrow night, in three weeks, Indiana's football team 758 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: will go out there and play a game where if 759 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 2: they win that game, there'll be one game away from 760 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 2: the national championship. Look, that's a dream. This is house money, 761 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: this is beauty. You are in Vegas and somehow you 762 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: have smartly put all your other chips in a bag 763 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 2: and you're still playing with a ton of them total, 764 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: and you're out money. Like, there's no negative. Again, I 765 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: don't think they'll fall out of the bye because who 766 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: is at five? Who's it five? 767 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: Is it Oregon? 768 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: Oregon? Yeah, you're not falling behind Oregon. You beat Oregon 769 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: at Oregon. I just think it's the ideal dream scenario 770 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 2: for Indiana. Along with the you could end obviously the 771 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 2: thirty year streak, and you can win a Big ten 772 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 2: title and you could be then in one team in 773 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 2: the land. 774 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 4: That's what somebody in the YouTube chest said. It's deverse. 775 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's d versus. 776 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 2: Four point spread. Let's not act like this. 777 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 4: This is an Avalacian state trying to knock off Michigan 778 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 4: years ago. 779 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons they're getting a 780 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: lot more respect this year too, is when you look 781 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: at the way that they've been winning games like this 782 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: is a team that, like most great college football teams, 783 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: they are physical upfront on both sides of the ball, 784 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: and they have speed at the skilled positions. James, they 785 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: really truly do. 786 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 4: You ain't gotta tell me I own a pair of 787 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 4: candy striped pants because they blitzed my team about a thousand. So, 788 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 4: assuming Illinois is not Ohio State on that level, it 789 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 4: should be a closer game come tomorrow night. But big matchup, 790 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 4: a lot at stake, and I think it will be 791 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 4: honestly really cool to see if you can knock off 792 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 4: big brother French Change. 793 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Drew from Avon says Jacksonville for sure, Kevin, 794 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: I unfortunately believe that IU loses by fourteen plus. Hope 795 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but there are a lot of people that 796 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: I think are almost afraid to think that that I 797 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: use actually on an Ohio State National championship live a level. 798 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 6: That I think, Kevin, you're hitting a great point because 799 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 6: I think when you hear Ohio State, okay, full disclosure 800 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,919 Speaker 6: from Ohio, a lot of Buckeye friends, I myself may 801 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 6: or may. 802 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: Not even throw you out of the show. It's okay, 803 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to throw you off the show. 804 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 6: What I'm saying is, like you hear Ryan daytalk like 805 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 6: they had three goals, beat Michigan, win the Big Ten championship, 806 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 6: win a national championship, like both teams care about this 807 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 6: game tomorrow, and all the talk about well what are 808 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 6: the conference championships really mean? Like, you're right, you have 809 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 6: this rare scenario where both teams are in they're okay 810 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 6: no matter what. But both teams care about this game 811 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 6: a lot, and so I can't wait to watch. I 812 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 6: think it's gonna be awesome. 813 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and one thing too, We talked a little bit 814 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 2: about it yesterday. You know Indiana's big moments last year Kurtzy, 815 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 2: and he pointed out, you know, road environments where he 816 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: felt like they just didn't meet the moment. You know, again, 817 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 2: I think tomorrow will be a heavy Indiana crowd in there. 818 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 2: And then once again in the neutral site games, you're 819 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 2: not gonna have that. Remember how much Signetti was upset 820 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: with how they handled the noise at Ohio State. He 821 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 2: didn't point necessarily to the noise I think in South Bend, 822 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: but more just whatever. They weren't ready to face a 823 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 2: team of that of that quality, or however you want 824 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: to label it. That thought shouldn't be there on the 825 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: neutral fields. And again, I don't think Tomorrow night is 826 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 2: going to be a neutral field. 827 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: You still think seventies. I'm leaning more towards you. You've 828 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: been saying seventy thirty all along.

I don't know, Scarlet different 832 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 2: than than. 833 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: The up in the corner of Lucas Royle focusing on 834 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: the entire stadium.

I'm gonna pause 839 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: the screen and just start counting. 840 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 4: You know what's crazy, I agree to do like some 841 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 4: radio interview during that game, So boy, they better be 842 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 4: ready for some loud people in the back. 843 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: Of real journalism. 844 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, they were asking, you want to come on and 845 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 4: talk about coltson you know Jaguar. 846 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 5: Sure, and I did not think about the time. 847 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: Third time ever we've gotten one versus two in the 848 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 2: Big Ten. 849 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: Who are the other two times? 850 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 4: Uh? 851 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 2: Michigan State six that I remember that one iconic game 852 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 2: and neither James nor I out of the womb. Jeff, 853 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: you recall Iowa Michigan in nineteen eighty five. 854 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who the quarterback would have been 855 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: Iowa that year. I vaguely remember, but I don't have 856 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: sparkling memories of it. 857 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 6: I want to guess the score that's got That sounds 858 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 6: like a seven to six game. 859 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 2: Ten to seven game. Steel toad kicker makes the field goal. 860 00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 3: Uh. 861 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: You know what, though, for all the talk and the 862 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: height that the SEC gets, you know that the highest 863 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: rated games the last couple of years have still been 864 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: Ohio State Michigan at noon. 865 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 5: Well, it's the game, yeah, for sure, Not that I. 866 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: Mean you like that. You think again, like there's the 867 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: SEC championship game this weekend Alabama, Georgia. You know, you 868 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: think as rabbit as people are in that area that 869 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: it would go on. But eighteen point four million viewers 870 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: this past week from Michigan Ohio State. That's not shabby. 871 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: That is not too shabby. It's a lot of folks 872 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: watching TV. 873 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 4: You know what, there's a little bit of random overlap here. 874 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 4: We brought up Kenny Moore, the second being the Walter 875 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 4: Payton Man of the Year, Ohio State's defense being led 876 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 4: by Matt Patricia. I was talking to Kenny in the 877 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 4: locker room yesterday and he said, Matt Patricia, when he 878 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 4: joined the league and was over in New England, was 879 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 4: one of the coaches that really told him he had 880 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 4: a shot to be good in the NFL and told him, hey, 881 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 4: just put your head down and work grind and if 882 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,479 Speaker 4: you do that, good things will happen. So I wonder 883 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 4: where Kenny is. Allegiance kind of lies this upcoming Saturday night. 884 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 2: Well, that is one of the bigger differences from last 885 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 2: year's meeting is Ohio State. They again their defensive coordinator 886 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 2: Jim Miles now was at Penn State. Ironically enough, that 887 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 2: was kind of a big drama in the offseason here, 888 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 2: and Patricia's new to Ryan Day's staff and Ohio State's 889 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 2: defensive stork has put up some historic numbers here, but again, 890 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: their offense coordinator Brian Hartline just took the job with 891 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 2: South Florida there, and I think, you know, Caleb just 892 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 2: laid out, you know how Ryan Day views the importance 893 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 2: of goals. I do think that emotional hangover could be real. 894 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 2: I mean, Michigan is Michigan. You know, beating Michigan's a 895 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 2: little different than beating Perdue fifty whatever to the hell 896 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 2: that score was last Friday night. Indiana has been circling 897 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 2: the Big Ten title for weeks now. Ohio State didn't 898 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 2: circle it until Saturday at four o'clock. Once, you know, 899 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 2: Michigan did a great job defending the fifty yard line 900 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: after the game. 901 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: I think the interesting question for me is in the 902 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: big picture after this game. I mentioned this yesterday. If 903 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 1: it's a close fought game. Let's say that Indiana wins 904 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: this game twenty seven to twenty four, it goes down 905 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: to the wire. Do both teams keep their one in 906 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: two seeds going into the postseason? 907 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot probably depends on what Georgia does. Is 908 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 2: the three right, you know, if Georgia looks impressive beating Alabama, 909 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 2: they could jump. You know, maybe the committee wouldn't want 910 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 2: to drop the loser down to four because then you 911 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 2: could get that matchup in the semi finals of seats hold. 912 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 2: So you know, again, I'll I'll repeat what I said earlier. 913 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 2: I think both teams will still get a buy and 914 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 2: really that's all that matters. I mean, when you when 915 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 2: you look at the bracket, you know, last year Oregon 916 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 2: got the one seed and they got the worst draw. 917 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 2: So it just so much of it is just get 918 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 2: the buy. I think that's the goal for these teams 919 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 2: in Indiana and Ohio State are definitely gonna get the buy. 920 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 2: I'd be stunned, stunned if well, I shouldn't say stuned 921 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 2: the committee is a bunch of idiots, But I really 922 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 2: would be surprised if the committee all of a sudden 923 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 2: put either of these teams playing that opening weekend. I 924 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 2: guess it would give you a home game. Are there 925 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 2: any Are there any Indiana fans that want that? Do 926 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: they want the home game? 927 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 3: Boy? 928 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 2: If you want that moment inside your own Stadium. 929 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 4: To be some odd fans. I think for that to 930 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 4: kind of play out the way you're laying it out. 931 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: All right, somebody who's been following, watching, consuming, and breathing 932 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: Indiana sports his entire life. Greg Rakestraw, the expert, the 933 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: authority on all things Indiana sports, joins us next. It's 934 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: ninety three to five and one fan. Ah takes me 935 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: back to my youth, the comedy team of Cheech and Chong. 936 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: This war I think, isn't it Caleb? That is correct? 937 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: Good stuff? And I think George Lopez uses some of 938 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: that too, doesn't he? James didn't never remind you that 939 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 1: it's good stuff? 940 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 5: Yep. 941 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: On a Saturday morning, it's all good, because man, we do. 942 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: We have a pack weekend. We were talking about it 943 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,439 Speaker 1: all morning long. Of course, Number one versus number two 944 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 1: college football tomorrow night, Lucas Oil Stadium, so much much 945 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: going on. It's taken so long for Indiana to get here, 946 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: but they have arrived at this place in time and 947 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: here to tell us more about that and get us 948 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: ready to go for another Jacksonville Colts tilt the one 949 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: the only. Greg Rakestraw joining us here on the payless 950 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: lookers hotline, Greg and your entire Indiana sports loving life, 951 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,439 Speaker 1: did you ever think that up until about eighteen months ago, 952 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: you'd ever see the day where Indiana is ready to 953 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: take their shot at Ohio State for number one? 954 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 3: Not really, there was a scenario like the second or 955 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 3: third year of the Big Ten Championship game, back when 956 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,760 Speaker 3: they actually had divisions and Ohio State and Penn State 957 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 3: were both on probation and weren't eligible for the game, 958 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 3: and there was a scenario like Indiana could have made 959 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 3: it at seven and five with like three weeks left 960 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 3: to go in the season, and Wisconsin summarily came to 961 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 3: Bloomington and beat them sixty two to ten. So that 962 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 3: was kind of the reminder of, no, this is not 963 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 3: going to happen. So while this is not something that 964 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 3: was even a con up fifteen years ago, the fact 965 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 3: of Indiana being in this position and being number two 966 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 3: in the nation, potentially number one and playing for a 967 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 3: championship and maybe having the Heisman Trophy winner. The line 968 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 3: that I have most frequently used about it is a 969 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 3: Normandale line from Hoosiers, and that's like me and you 970 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 3: going to the moon. That's kind of what this is 971 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 3: with Indiana football. 972 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 5: I'd like that. 973 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 4: Yes, a shout out to the movie Hoosiers, a classic. 974 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 4: I've been out there to Knightstown to see the gym 975 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 4: in person. Rake, When you look at the atmosphere that 976 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 4: will be on tap tomorrow here in downtown Indianapolis, You've 977 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 4: been to a lot of big moments for this city, 978 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 4: in this state. How do you expect that to be 979 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 4: with I you Louisville on the hardwood in the early afternoon, 980 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 4: then obviously the big game on the grid iron that night. 981 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 3: It's not gonna be Super Bowl weekend. I'm not sure 982 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 3: it's going to be closed because that is the Super Bowl. 983 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 3: But if you ask most locals JB about what they remember, 984 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 3: we'll be in here. It's the fact that there was 985 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 3: a quarter of a million people on the Friday night 986 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 3: before the Super Bowl and it was basically Indy Spring, 987 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 3: you know, Indy five hundred. Everybody just went downtown and 988 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 3: they literally if people had to stop, they had to 989 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 3: go to like radio television. People stop going downtown. We 990 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 3: cannot take we're full, don't go. I don't think it's 991 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 3: going to be that I think it's going to be 992 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 3: that level of atmosphere. So think about what would normally 993 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 3: be here, maybe for a final four and double that 994 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 3: or maybe even triple that, because you don't have people 995 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 3: just goes to show up and just want to go 996 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 3: to the party, and I don't blame them, I understand 997 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 3: that completely. So somewhere in the vicinity of what a 998 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 3: five hundred feels like or a final four feels like, 999 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 3: somewhere in the middle of that, I think will be 1000 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,760 Speaker 3: tomorrow in downtown Indianapolis. 1001 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 2: Rake, speaking of Hoosiers, did I read correctly that there 1002 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 2: was like, I don't know, thirty or forty men. It's 1003 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 2: cut out of the original movie and they're going to 1004 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 2: release that here soon. I don't know what service we 1005 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 2: watch it on, But did you hear anything along those lines? 1006 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 3: So I don't think it was thirty minutes. I think 1007 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 3: it was closer to fifteen minutes. I think I could 1008 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 3: be wrong about that. That did not make the original movie. 1009 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 3: I think there is already a director's cut that has 1010 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 3: been released, but I think includes it. Maybe I'm wrong 1011 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 3: about that. What I can tell you is this the 1012 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 3: fortieth anniversary of the release of Hoosiers is next year, 1013 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 3: and there's at least going to be one event if not, 1014 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 3: a couple or people are gonna be able to see 1015 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 3: the full film that has maybe not been available on 1016 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,280 Speaker 3: a regular basis or shown publicly. So there are plans 1017 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 3: in the works for that to take place in the 1018 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 3: fall of twenty twenty six. 1019 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 2: He is Greg Rags. He's with us here on the 1020 00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 2: Paylost Slickers hotline. Let's rewind to last week, Rake. Obviously, 1021 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 2: we had the State finals. I would say the four 1022 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 2: A game in particular was a great, great game between 1023 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 2: Roncolli and Dwanger. Maybe if I labeled the biggest surprise 1024 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 2: from championship weekend across the six classes, you would go where. 1025 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 3: I'm not sure there's one that that would be a 1026 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 3: huge surprise. I thought the overarching maybe the scoring in 1027 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 3: andre And and Brownstown Central being a score being one score. 1028 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 3: Even though Browntown has been good for a long time, 1029 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 3: they have never kind of had that breakthrough moments. And 1030 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 3: they don't play the toughest of schedules because there's just 1031 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,479 Speaker 3: simply not that many great schools in football around them. 1032 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 3: So the fact I think a lot of folks out 1033 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 3: that andre And might thump them just because Andrean does 1034 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 3: play a very good schedule, and so that game being competitive, 1035 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 3: he was a surprise. Maybe some folks were surprised that 1036 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 3: Merrillville was competitive with New Pal for as long as 1037 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,240 Speaker 3: they were. And again the unfortunately for Meryville, the starting 1038 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 3: quarterback gets hurt collar bone injury is what was suspected 1039 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 3: and couldn't continue the game, and that will be a 1040 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 3: massive what iff or you never know, you know, if 1041 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 3: you're from the region and it's it's okay to wonder 1042 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 3: about that. Newpal's really damn good. But Marravilla was toe 1043 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 3: to toe with them for three quarters and with their 1044 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 3: backup quarterback in there for the third of those quarters. 1045 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 3: For Newpal, you know, kind of finally pulled away in 1046 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 3: that game. So those are the surprises, But to me, Kevin, 1047 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 3: the overarching theme was we really gonna have a true blowout. 1048 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 3: You know. The largest margin of victory was the first 1049 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 3: game with South Puttnam beating you know, Pioneer by twenty 1050 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: six or twenty nine. But usually in the state files 1051 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 3: there's a forty or fifty point game at some point 1052 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 3: in time, and we had nothing close to that. So 1053 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 3: going in I probably thought that five of the six 1054 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 3: game is going to be pretty good, and that's kind 1055 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 3: of how it played out last Friday and Saturday. 1056 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: Greg, one other thing I want to tie in from 1057 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: high school football last weekend to Indiana tomorrow, and you 1058 00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: and I both had the opportunity, we're blessed to call 1059 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: the six a game you on TV meal radio, and 1060 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:08,240 Speaker 1: we saw brown Brownsburg's Brandon Sharp just dominate the first 1061 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: half like few players can. We know that he's getting 1062 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: all kinds of look from power for schools all over 1063 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: the place. Has Indiana gotten to the point where that's 1064 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: the kind of school that a player like Brandon Sharp 1065 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: would consider moving forward? 1066 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 3: I think so. Uh And and as good as Brandon 1067 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 3: Sharp is, I will give you another player that I 1068 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 3: think is the true you know, Canary and the coal 1069 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 3: Mine has a has a has a negative connotation. I'm 1070 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 3: not sure that the Harbinger how about that for a 1071 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 3: for a positive connotation? Manchin Sales. He is a five 1072 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,320 Speaker 3: star recruit. He is rated as the fifth or sixth 1073 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 3: best player in his class in the nation. His nickname 1074 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 3: is Bema. You know you kind of you know, can 1075 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 3: can tell you know the level of talent that he is. 1076 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 3: You name the power school he's offered him. But yet 1077 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 3: Omar Cooper ell Bybeon Chandler l N both wide receivers 1078 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 3: at IU. Before that, Donovan mcully, you know down with 1079 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 3: i U was an l N guy. You know, does 1080 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 3: a national level recruit in your own backyard? Does that 1081 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 3: guy go to Bloomington? That will truly to me. And 1082 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 3: again that's the offense to Brandon Sharp, who's really good 1083 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 3: and he's gonna play a major college, major level of 1084 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 3: college football. But Sales might be the end up being 1085 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 3: the top wide receiver in his class in the country. 1086 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 3: And does he end up at a place like IU. 1087 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 3: If that is the case, then Katie bar the door 1088 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 3: for the Hoosiers. Yeah. 1089 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 5: I'm looking at his list of offers right now. 1090 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,359 Speaker 4: Indiana is on it, as my Illinois fighting Line are 1091 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 4: as well and pretty much every other school in America. 1092 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made him 1093 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 3: an offer. A lot of teams have have offered him 1094 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 3: at this point. 1095 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna add They're gonna add out the Saskatchewan rough Riders, 1096 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: is what they're gonna do. 1097 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 3: Greg right, correct, Absolutely? Ray? 1098 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 2: Did I see coylein then rep Pad There'll be some 1099 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 2: changes to the Mister Football Award? Could you share a 1100 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 2: little bit along those lines. 1101 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think what it is is instead of having 1102 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 3: just a position finalist, they will change it to maybe 1103 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 3: multiple players at a same positioner finalist. And let's be 1104 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 3: honest about it, it's because Miles McLaughlin is listed as 1105 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,719 Speaker 3: a quarterback and Jet Goldsberry is a quarterback, and clearly 1106 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 3: they are the two best players in terms of candidates 1107 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 3: for this award this season, and it'd be a shame 1108 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 3: if one of those guys wasn't a finalist. So yes, 1109 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 3: it was a really smart move by the IFCA to 1110 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 3: change it, given whom the obvious candidates are for this year. 1111 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 2: Got it, so we used to just do top player 1112 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 2: at each position now to be more like the Heisman 1113 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 2: ceremony where you could have you know, Julian say In 1114 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,240 Speaker 2: for Nando Mendoza and Diego Pavia all there along with Jeremiah. 1115 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 3: Love direct And again that that change happened. And you 1116 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 3: heard me cite this example before when they kind of 1117 00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 3: had four finalists Bourn in that amazing twenty eighteen class 1118 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 3: and George Carl wasn't one of them. And I would 1119 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 3: tell people, hey, you can get upset about it being 1120 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,399 Speaker 3: Jack Ties over David Bell The fact that George wasn't 1121 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 3: invited to the party is the much bigger problem. Thankfully, 1122 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 3: it seemingly hasn't affected him too much in terms of 1123 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 3: his success in the National Football League. 1124 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: Last thing for me, Greg Sunday, big opportunity for the Colts. 1125 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: It's been a while since they've been able to beat Jacksonville. 1126 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 1: How does this work if the Coults are going to 1127 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: come out with a win? Here? 1128 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor left, Jonathan Taylor right. You have to be 1129 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 3: I understand you have tendencies, and you have this is 1130 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 3: the way I want to play. At some point in time, 1131 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 3: you have a look around the room and go, hey, 1132 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 3: we have to change this up. And again, this is 1133 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 3: not a bad football team, the Indianapolis Colts. They're not. 1134 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 3: They're just not playing at that same level they were 1135 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 3: the first two months of the season. Injuries are a 1136 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 3: part of it. Injuries affect every football team. So I 1137 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 3: understand establishing throwing the ball first and then trying to 1138 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 3: run the ball. I understand you have belief in your offense. 1139 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 3: Let's take the opening kickoff. But now things aren't working. 1140 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 3: You're losing close games. Now it's the part where you go, 1141 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 3: all right, let's change things up. You in the opening 1142 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,800 Speaker 3: coin toss, defer, don't save Jonathan Taylor in a glass 1143 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 3: case for the third quarter.

Passion play for him. 1175 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 2: He loves that machine, absolute machine. Greg raychal the energizer Bunny. 1176 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 1: And no question about that. So we talked a little 1177 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: bit about the cult star towards the end, and Jonathan 1178 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: Taylor left Jonathan Taylor Wright maybe taking Eric Dickerson page 1179 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: out of the playbook and just and it gets back 1180 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,959 Speaker 1: to what I opened the show with, James, I would 1181 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,799 Speaker 1: love to see the Colts offensive line just punish that 1182 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: defensive line for the Jaguars and just beat them up 1183 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 1: and wear them down over the course of sixty minutes. 1184 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 1: Is that possible? 1185 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 4: And give them black eyes and bloody lips. Don't don't 1186 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,760 Speaker 4: sell yourself short. Let's go, mister Rickard. 1187 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: I want him to be sore. 1188 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 2: Does Jacksonville live defensive strength bean stopping the run create 1189 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 2: any pause for you, Jeff? 1190 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I'd like to see him 1191 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 1: just do that and take control of this division, take 1192 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,399 Speaker 1: control of that matchup, that strength on. 1193 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 2: Strength, don't you three eight? A Hey, we should maybe 1194 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 2: throw I think you have to see if you work 1195 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 2: the weather to the side. No, I get that, But 1196 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,239 Speaker 2: Jacksonville's strength as a football team, he could really say, 1197 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 2: is their run defense, and how their weakness is a 1198 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 2: past defense. 1199 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 1: And what better way to establish yourself in the first 1200 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 1: court and say we're going to be better at this 1201 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: than you are today? 1202 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 5: Did Jaguars? I'm looking at it now. 1203 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 4: No player has had seventy rushing yards in a game 1204 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 4: against the Jaguars this year have played. 1205 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and Quenton Nelson had a respect go. 1206 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,920 Speaker 2: I do think this general discuss is interesting. If you're 1207 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 2: Shane Styking again, put the weather to the side. Sounds 1208 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 2: like it's gonna be a ton of rain. But the 1209 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 2: debate of sure, Jeff, yeah, you would love to establish 1210 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 2: a dominance in any time you're playing a big time matchup. Hey, 1211 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 2: let's bully them up front, and you know, blah blah blah. 1212 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 2: But like on paper it says to throw against Jacksonville, 1213 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't say to run. So I think that is 1214 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 2: a very interesting dynamic for Shane stike In. Obviously his 1215 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,399 Speaker 2: best player is his running back, and Daniel Jones we've 1216 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 2: seen some limitations with that passing offense. So uh, that 1217 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 2: debate for the Colts offensively, I think is going to 1218 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 2: be a really really interesting factor to this game. 1219 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I agree with all that, and I understand 1220 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent what you're saying. I just believe there's 1221 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: times in an NFL season, in an NFL game, it 1222 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 1: is a physical game. Sometimes we talk about and I 1223 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: don't know if I buy into it completely with Shane 1224 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: out smarten himself, whatever. Sometimes I am a fan of 1225 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: just line up me against you. I'm just gonna knock 1226 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: you back yard and do whatever I want to do. 1227 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,760 Speaker 1: I think you, at least that is what they said 1228 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,400 Speaker 1: I on a half, I at least want to see 1229 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: you give it a shot because I think you had 1230 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,480 Speaker 1: the personnel that could do that. 1231 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it just it hasn't developed here in recent weeks. 1232 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 2: You know, that's just been an issue for this team 1233 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 2: health wise for the Colts all what fifty two to 1234 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 2: fifty three? I guess James practiced yesterday. Now we should 1235 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 2: mention obviously to Forrest Buckner and Ashton Dulan are on 1236 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 2: IR so they are out. But fifty two of the 1237 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:33,040 Speaker 2: fifty three Colts practiced fully yesterday, Sauce Gardner being the 1238 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,080 Speaker 2: one on the fifty three man roster who has yet 1239 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,439 Speaker 2: to participate this week. And I thought Daniel Jones looked 1240 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 2: better for our audience that has not been with us 1241 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 2: yet here on this Friday morning. We've made the analogy. 1242 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 2: James Boyd is turning thirty years old today. Mark Dyton 1243 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 2: is turning forty years old on Sunday. Last week, I 1244 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 2: thought Daniel Jones looked like Mark Dyton getting out of bed. 1245 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 5: This week, I thought he looked. 1246 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 2: Like you getting out of bed, James. 1247 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and I wake up doing the electric slides. 1248 00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 4: So Daniel Jones moving. 1249 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: Good to see that, Honestly, I want to see that 1250 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: when you walk into the studio. 1251 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 2: Toothpaste on the two prone slide. 1252 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 1: In here to your spot when you walk in here 1253 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 1: in the morning. 1254 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:09,399 Speaker 5: There you go. 1255 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 1: I like that a lot. But yeah, that game will 1256 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: be coming up on Sunday. And am I overstating this 1257 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 1: James when I say it's almost a must win for 1258 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: the Colts at this point in time, given the last 1259 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,800 Speaker 1: three or four weeks and what's ahead, right. 1260 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, you lose this game, we're talking about will you 1261 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:28,920 Speaker 4: make the playoffs? 1262 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,840 Speaker 5: Let alone be in the division race? 1263 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: And yeah, I still feel good about it. 1264 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 5: If they lose. 1265 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 1: No, I'm talking about I feel good about the Coats 1266 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:37,439 Speaker 1: going into this game. 1267 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,440 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he can feel about and say, oh man, 1268 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 4: you have the most confident person in love. 1269 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, you should feel good about it. 1270 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,160 Speaker 4: But to Kevin's point, I am curious to see what 1271 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 4: the game plan actually looks like because you don't want 1272 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 4: to necessarily force something when there's an obvious advantage that 1273 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 4: you might have in the passing game. And I see 1274 00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 4: some of the commiss on YouTube chat say, hey has 1275 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 4: warned hit the rookie wall. I don't think so. I 1276 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 4: do think that he was sick last week and he 1277 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 4: kind of played like it even though he scored a touchdown. 1278 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 4: He also had the muff snap there for the lost fumbles. 1279 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 4: So perhaps if he feels better, does he help you 1280 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 4: get back on track with. 1281 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 5: The passing game. 1282 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: Also comments on the text line, DJ and Eddy says, 1283 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: Caps run the damn ball campaign is back again. To 1284 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: your point, though, Kevin, it'll be just to see what 1285 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 1: the Colts select to do against a top rank. 1286 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 4: Don't run it into a wall. You know, let's get 1287 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 4: some variety in there. But it'll probably be a blend 1288 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 4: of both. And I do kind of laugh when we 1289 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 4: have these conversations onto the air ways because you know, 1290 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 4: they are much more in depth over at Westletetic Street. 1291 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 5: It's not just hey, run the ball or pass the ball. 1292 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 4: It's probably a little bit of like, Okay, let's see 1293 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,200 Speaker 4: what advantages, what looks we can get them into, and 1294 00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 4: then take advantage from there. 1295 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 2: And again, if the weather plays out, you can't ignore it, 1296 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 2: you know that, not at all, no to it. So 1297 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 2: something to keep an eye on for Sunday. 1298 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's check it down, Caleb, and get to 1299 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 1: what's happening right here right now. Let's start with tomorrow 1300 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 1: nights between number one ranked Ohio State number two ranked 1301 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,400 Speaker 1: Indiana Lucas Oil Stadium, eight pm.

It 1314 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 2: is about as dream of scenario as you could really imagine. 1315 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 2: I think one key we haven't talked about with the 1316 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 2: football game tomorrow night. I think one of the most 1317 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,960 Speaker 2: consistent best aspects to this IU football team this season. 1318 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 2: They're rushing attack and Roman Hemby and Kaylon Black. I mean, 1319 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,920 Speaker 2: they have been a really solid one two punch. Remember 1320 00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,439 Speaker 2: they had the big injury earlier in the year Bebe 1321 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 2: and yet that duo and even when the Fisher's kid's 1322 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 2: gotten in Martin, He's been pretty good. But you know, 1323 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 2: that balance I think is huge. And even when Mendoza's 1324 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,440 Speaker 2: had a little bit of a slow start to a 1325 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 2: game here or there, obviously Sarat has missed some time, 1326 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 2: that rushing attack has been really, really consistent. Can they 1327 01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 2: establish that provide some balance against the best defensive college football? 1328 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, obviously that secondary is tremendous led by 1329 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,919 Speaker 1: Caleb Downs, the younger brother of Josh Downs for Ohio State. 1330 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: But what I like over the last month or so, 1331 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: Indiana's shown they got three or four guys that can 1332 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 1: hurt you receiving with the football. The way they run roots, 1333 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 1: the way they get open. 1334 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 5: Run roots, is it roots routes? 1335 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: You sound like my kid's making fun of me. 1336 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 4: Now, yeah, we're running roots out here. But either way, 1337 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 4: roots routes carve them up. Hoosiers get it done. But 1338 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 4: on the other side, talk about wide receivers. Boy, Ohio 1339 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,920 Speaker 4: State is loaded Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith bawlers. So 1340 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 4: you want to make sure, I feel like in these 1341 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 4: types of games, these matchups, you want to make sure 1342 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 4: you don't give up the home run play if they 1343 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 4: beat you, so what do they go? You know, eighty 1344 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 4: yards on fifteen plays. I get it, but boy, it's 1345 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 4: always like one or two breakaway plays that can decide 1346 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 4: these types of games. 1347 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about that football game Normai. Big day 1348 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,479 Speaker 1: of college basketball as well. Tomorrow at noon, it'll start 1349 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: with Iowa State playing at Purdue. That could be a 1350 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,560 Speaker 1: high scoring basketball game, Kevin. You talk about the fact 1351 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: Cyclones they just like to fill it up over there. 1352 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, best shooting team in college basketball this season. So 1353 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 2: that's a great game right out of the gate. Again, 1354 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 2: that'll be on CBS and not you know, I don't 1355 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 2: want to get to too carried away with Perdue, but 1356 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 2: you know they're able to win that. Auburn doesn't look 1357 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 2: like the same old Auburn. This could be another undefeated 1358 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 2: non conference schedule in a year when Purdue doesn't hesitate 1359 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,439 Speaker 2: or shy away from anything from a scheduling standpoint. So again, 1360 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 2: that'll be at noon. Then you'll get to IU Louisville. 1361 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 2: Louisville did lose earlier this week there, so you know, 1362 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 2: we talked about it after they awful lost in Minnesota. 1363 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,440 Speaker 2: Indiana needs substance on the resume, and this is it. 1364 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 2: This is a quad one opportunity. You'll get that next 1365 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 2: week to facing Kentucky and Rup so important opportunity, especially 1366 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,920 Speaker 2: after the loss to the Gophers the other night. 1367 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: In between those two games, Butler will host Boise State. 1368 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: That one will tip off at one thirty. You can 1369 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: listen to it live right here on the fan. I 1370 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 1: wonder do you think you think Minner will do play 1371 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 1: by play of Red Panda Tomay. 1372 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 2: I would love him and Nick Gardner breaking down the unicycle, 1373 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 2: breaking down the efficiency of the bulls hell. I would 1374 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 2: love a fad Modo just said, you know, halftime speech 1375 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,760 Speaker 2: will be on on the bench. We got to watch her. 1376 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,760 Speaker 1: I love the fact that the first time dad wasn't 1377 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 1: coaching and took a year off, he and his wife 1378 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: were at a game where Red Panda showed up and 1379 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,720 Speaker 1: he's like, wait, this is what happens at halftime of 1380 01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: a basketball game? 1381 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 2: Was in all he said? All he was, I'll take 1382 01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 2: the bathroom break for the first media time out. 1383 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 4: It all was set too high, because that's not every 1384 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 4: that's not every day you're getting that. 1385 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, lucky. 1386 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 1387 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 1: Sunday, we turn our attention to the National Football League. 1388 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Talked about it a moment ago, the Indianapolis Colts taking 1389 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville Jaguars, both teams eight and four sitting 1390 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 1: atop the AFC South. Colts have lost two and their 1391 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: last three, And can can you even overstate the importance 1392 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,080 Speaker 1: of a regular season game and a winner loss for 1393 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: the Colts right now, James. 1394 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,200 Speaker 4: No, you really can't. I mean, the numbers are jarring you. 1395 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,160 Speaker 4: You win this game, you put yourself in the driver's 1396 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 4: seat of the AFC South title, your first title in 1397 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,720 Speaker 4: about ten years, I believe. But if you lose this game, 1398 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,960 Speaker 4: it goes down to about a coin flip for you 1399 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 4: to make the playoffs according to our playoff projection model 1400 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 4: with the athletic. 1401 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 2: All right, thirty change win or loss. 1402 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:25,360 Speaker 4: And that's a lot of it has to do with 1403 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,760 Speaker 4: your schedule still being very hard and the other schedules 1404 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 4: for the Texans and the Jaguars not being a stiff. 1405 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. Also, just in sheer numbers, a win 1406 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:35,680 Speaker 1: for the Colts now, all of a sudden, they're three 1407 01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 1: to one within the division and you know, now, I'm sorry, 1408 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: two and one with a division and that that counts 1409 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,640 Speaker 1: too as you start to move forward. So we'll see 1410 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,480 Speaker 1: what happens tonight. It'll be the Pacers in Chicago at 1411 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 1: eight pm. Ben Shephard will miss that game with Dare 1412 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 1: I say it, Kevin a calf injury? 1413 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he played and I want to say he 1414 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:57,919 Speaker 2: even spoke to the media. It's like he got hurt 1415 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 2: in the game the other night against Denver there, so 1416 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,480 Speaker 2: I assume that means jaris Walker on the starting lineup. 1417 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 2: We'll see abou Kobe White. He's been a great player 1418 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 2: for the Bulls this season. He missed last meeting with 1419 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 2: the Pacers. Remember that was the Siakam game winner over 1420 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 2: the weekend here. So Pacers will get a little bit 1421 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 2: of time off coming up here that nd season tournament, 1422 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 2: you know, them not obviously participating in the knockout stage 1423 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 2: of it. So we'll see if that coupled with I 1424 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 2: think we're kind of nearing that one month timetable with 1425 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 2: Aaron E. Smith. I feel like that's on the horizon. 1426 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 2: I probably need to double check the dates on that, 1427 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:31,920 Speaker 2: so we'll see if there's one last gasp here for 1428 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 2: this Pacer Season. 1429 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: One NFL game. Last night, the scoreboard was lit up 1430 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 1: by the Detroit Lions as they won a home game 1431 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,280 Speaker 1: over the Dallas Cowboys forty four to thirty on a 1432 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: night when only Jamar gibbs three touchdown performance may have 1433 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 1: been brighter than Brandon Aubrey, the Cowboys kicker who was 1434 01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,560 Speaker 1: just drilling field goals from all over the place last night. 1435 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 5: Shout out to Jamiir Jamier Gibbs. 1436 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 1: Ball out. 1437 01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 4: Did I say he tied Barry Sanders? I believe for 1438 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 4: the most touchdowns your career before turning twenty four with 1439 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,080 Speaker 4: forty seven, and I looked it up. Jamiro Gibbs didn't 1440 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,920 Speaker 4: turn twenty four until next spring. 1441 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 1: That's crazy. 1442 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 5: My record is going down next week. 1443 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 1: That's crazy. 1444 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 2: Yeah he is. Yeah, he is an end zone machine. There. 1445 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 2: Good for your fantasy team there. Yeah, high scoring. The 1446 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 2: over under was fifty four and a half and seventy 1447 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 2: four last night as what hit so quite the high 1448 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 2: scoring affair and a big win for Detroit, much much 1449 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 2: needed for the Lions and not good at all for 1450 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,360 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. We have a few of those games this 1451 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,920 Speaker 2: week Colt jagsby and one of them of these big 1452 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:35,360 Speaker 2: playoff swing games in both the AFC and the NFC. 1453 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're looking for college football TV, Tomorrow starts 1454 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 1: at noon BYU and Texas Tech for the Big Twelve Championship. 1455 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 1: At four o'clock, it's Georgia Alabama for the SEC Championship. 1456 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Two games on simultaneously, beginning at eight pm. Yes, the 1457 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 1: ACC Championship game will feature basketball schools Duke and Virginia, 1458 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 1: while Indiana and Ohio State of course played for the 1459 01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 1: Big Ten championship. But don't forget guys who other conference 1460 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 1: championships tomorrow that could gum up the works for you, 1461 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 1: depending how things fall. Troy plays James Madison in the 1462 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:11,120 Speaker 1: Sunbelt Championship in North Texas against Tulane in the American Championship. 1463 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,160 Speaker 1: Tell me again, how James Madison could eclipse Notre Dame 1464 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 1: getting into the playoffs here? What would have to happen there, Kevin, 1465 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:19,880 Speaker 1: I know you've thought about these things. 1466 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 2: I have not thought about James Madison. 1467 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,560 Speaker 1: They could slide in depending on how things break out. 1468 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but I don't think I would. I don't 1469 01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 2: think it's like either James Madison or Notre Dame. Wouldn't 1470 01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 2: they be an automatic qualifier? Wasn't that how they would 1471 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 2: get them? Yeah, it's not like they're not large Notre 1472 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 2: Dame is trying to be at large. Try to speak, Jeff, 1473 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 2: I got enough things to worry about.

It doesn't really involve James Madison 1483 01:06:58,080 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 1: all that much, but it's either. 1484 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,080 Speaker 5: With the automatic I wanted to get confused. 1485 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to get you on the edge of your seat. 1486 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 2: Well, now you have me confused. I'm going to need 1487 01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 2: to take a bathroom. 1488 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm playing games over here.

Give me your your 1498 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 1: double dose of prediction here for Saturday night with the 1499 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship and Sunday afternoon in Jacksonville. Two three, nine, 1500 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,439 Speaker 1: ten seventy on the fan text line, we got Matt 1501 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 1: Taylor coming up the top of the hour and tell 1502 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: us more about that matchup. It's all straight ahead at 1503 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 1: ninety three five and one seven. You made it a Friday, 1504 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:51,280 Speaker 1: and we are a day closer to the Big Ten 1505 01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Conference Championship game, a day closer to the Colts and 1506 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and a day closer to a monumental sports weekend. Uh. 1507 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: And I say that to punt intended here as we 1508 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 1: sit atop the circle for the last week before we 1509 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,680 Speaker 1: moved to the brand new studios just up the road here. 1510 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,680 Speaker 1: But man, oh man, oh man, it's just every time 1511 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 1: I think that things are going to get better or 1512 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 1: it couldn't possibly be better for sports in this area, 1513 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,679 Speaker 1: it just one ups itself. Kevin, and I pinched myself 1514 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: the fact that we get to experience all this, Think 1515 01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,040 Speaker 1: of all the things we've been able to experience just 1516 01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 1: in the less decade in this place. 1517 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty amazing. I mean honestly, when you look at 1518 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:34,040 Speaker 2: the last twelve months especially, Yeah, it's wild, and you know, honestly, 1519 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 2: so much of it. I think you want just to 1520 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 2: have appointment events in your own city, and we have 1521 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 2: been blessed with so many of them. And Saturday Night 1522 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 2: involves another with the team in your state. I think 1523 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 2: that's the unique nature to it. It's not just having 1524 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 2: the Big Ten championship. It's the fact that you've got 1525 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 2: one of your state schools there. It looks like the 1526 01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 2: secondary ticket market has maybe leveled out a little bit here, 1527 01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 2: so I'm still seeing here on stubub Cheapest is about 1528 01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 2: seven hundred to get in the building there. 1529 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 1: I did see six fifteen earlier this morning for a 1530 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: single ticket, like in the upper six hundred level. 1531 01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 2: Would you do that? Are you a big enough sports 1532 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:12,719 Speaker 2: fan of any team to sit alone? 1533 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 6: That's one of my sports hot takes, Kevin. I think 1534 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 6: as long as you're in the building, I don't think 1535 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 6: people ever really are a stickler about asking you, oh, 1536 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 6: where did you sit? If you can just say you 1537 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 6: were there, Like for me, for instance, twenty eighteen Calves 1538 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 6: Versus Raptors Eastern Conference Semifinal, I see a Lebron buzzer beater. 1539 01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,400 Speaker 6: Was I sitting as you guys talking about yesterday next 1540 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 6: to God? 1541 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1542 01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,840 Speaker 6: I was, but I was there to see an awesome moment. 1543 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,679 Speaker 2: What about a couple. I'd love the line sitting next 1544 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 2: to God, but I do I can't see in me 1545 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,719 Speaker 2: same way man National Title game.

I was sitting there alone, but 1547 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 2: at least well no name didn't win. 1548 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 5: But I'd get a single ticket, I really will. 1549 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 4: I would do that, Yeah, because I feel like if 1550 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,320 Speaker 4: you love it that much to do it, especially for 1551 01:09:58,320 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 4: a game like this, you're going to be in an 1552 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 4: environment where everyone else is there for that reason, no 1553 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 4: casual watching type of stuff. 1554 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,920 Speaker 2: Are we partners with any secondary ticket markets. 1555 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 1: Jeff, Not that I'm aware of. 1556 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 3: Now. 1557 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,160 Speaker 2: It looks like on seat geek, it's a little cheaper. 1558 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 2: Six twelve okay, solo ticket end zone here road twenty eight? 1559 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,280 Speaker 2: Is that the highest row in the building? Section six 1560 01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:16,840 Speaker 2: twenty seven? 1561 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,840 Speaker 4: I would imagine. Yeah, anytime you get start with the 1562 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 4: section six. Yeah, you're Europe asking you to lock the window? 1563 01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 2: Hey yeah, hey, Haleb zuver over there, will you locked 1564 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 2: the window for us? Balls about to. 1565 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 4: Be some are you the best seat in the house 1566 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,560 Speaker 4: because you get you know, when you pray, you a 1567 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 4: little closer, your prayers direct. 1568 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 1: Con You can't face to face conversation right there. 1569 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,560 Speaker 2: Now, not to like I want to. 1570 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 4: I want to be face to face now, you know, 1571 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 4: I want to see Jesus years from now. 1572 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:47,360 Speaker 2: But I was, you know, maybe get our people that 1573 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,720 Speaker 2: have already thought this. You know, I've I'm trying to think. 1574 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 2: I've been inside of Lucasholl Stadium as a fan of 1575 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 2: a of a football game for not many of them, 1576 01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 2: Notre Dame Perdue whenever. That was back a decade ago. 1577 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,759 Speaker 2: But I was told that one of the the smart 1578 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 2: things to do is to try to get a table 1579 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 2: in the bud light zone, so you can maybe get 1580 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,799 Speaker 2: like the highest ticket in the house. But if you're able, 1581 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,040 Speaker 2: and you got to probably get in pretty early, but 1582 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 2: if you get in when the gates open, you secure 1583 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,800 Speaker 2: a table in that bud light zone, then you're able 1584 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 2: to maybe view it from you know, a little bit 1585 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,479 Speaker 2: of a better level. So I don't know if I 1586 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 2: if that's maybe that's not news. 1587 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 1: Going back to what you said, though, I have seen 1588 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: groups of guys three four five a couple of times 1589 01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,719 Speaker 1: over the years that will go to like a super 1590 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:38,600 Speaker 1: Bowl together. They get individual tickets, so they go and 1591 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,280 Speaker 1: they do their party for a couple of hours before 1592 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 1: the game. They might get together again at halftime, and 1593 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,599 Speaker 1: then they leave the game together as well, even though 1594 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 1: they're sitting at different points in the stadium, so there 1595 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,000 Speaker 1: they are kind of going as a group, but they 1596 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:51,880 Speaker 1: are sitting by them. 1597 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:56,080 Speaker 4: So that is the most guys going to the super 1598 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 4: Bowl's a little different answer. 1599 01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,679 Speaker 1: Well, sometimes it's about the tickets you can get though, James, 1600 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,759 Speaker 1: is my point. But you were talking terrible. 1601 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:02,479 Speaker 5: Planning on that group. 1602 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,640 Speaker 4: You you get in there, if you're going to the 1603 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,519 Speaker 4: super Bowl, you get planned on sitting together. 1604 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,439 Speaker 1: The plan is you paid figty five hundred dollars for 1605 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,800 Speaker 1: a ticket or seven hundred dollars for a ticket is 1606 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 1: a difference. There are there really super Bowl tickets that 1607 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 1: talking about Back in the day when I win. 1608 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 2: I feel like that was going on. There's a comma 1609 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 2: involved in all of them. 1610 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:20,320 Speaker 3: No. 1611 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 1: I remember going to a super Bowl once with my 1612 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 1: dad and he said, uh, enjoy this. This is the 1613 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:26,720 Speaker 1: last time you and I will ever be able to 1614 01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 1: afford to go to a game again. 1615 01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,879 Speaker 2: One thing to note, James, you brought up cold schedule 1616 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,679 Speaker 2: in the previous segment. Again, hardest schedule in the NFL left, 1617 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 2: or so they say. At Jacksonville at Seattle home to 1618 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 2: San Francisco. That's the Monday night game home to Jacksonville 1619 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,479 Speaker 2: again to close out December. And then week eighteen, the 1620 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 2: season finale is in Houston. That's five games. I think 1621 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 2: if they go two and one in the three AFC 1622 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,679 Speaker 2: South games, they're good. I agree, those are the big ones. 1623 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,760 Speaker 2: If the three AFC South games at Jacksonville Sunday, you 1624 01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 2: close out the year with Jacksonville again in your own building, 1625 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 2: and then at Houston, if you go two and one 1626 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 2: in those three, you're in. I want to say you 1627 01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:10,600 Speaker 2: win the division. I don't think I can say it 1628 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,599 Speaker 2: just yet, but I think you're definitely in because you know, 1629 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,960 Speaker 2: right now, with three AFC South teams all above five hundred, 1630 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 2: you know even the runner up is obviously going to 1631 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 2: be competing for the wildcard spot. So I would think 1632 01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 2: two and one given the tiebreaker situations. Yeah, obviously if 1633 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,759 Speaker 2: that one loss is Houston, for example, that means Houston 1634 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 2: has swept you this season. They have the head to 1635 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,439 Speaker 2: head so maybe you wouldn't win the division title, but 1636 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 2: I still think from a record standpoint, that would mean 1637 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 2: you would sweep Jacksonville, so you'd be likely above them. 1638 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 2: That would help you out in the wildcard department there. 1639 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 2: So again, the five game schedule is daunting, but if 1640 01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 2: you want to boil it down to the AFC South 1641 01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 2: games two and one two and one, now that means 1642 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 2: you got to win one on the road, either Sunday 1643 01:13:58,400 --> 01:13:59,880 Speaker 2: or either the season finale in Houston. 1644 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 1: Houston, by the way, this is their schedule moving forward. 1645 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: They play at Kansas City this week. They play at 1646 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 1: home against the Cardinals, home against the Raiders at the Chargers, 1647 01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:18,120 Speaker 1: and then against the Colts. Easy, but it's not murderers 1648 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:18,679 Speaker 1: Row either. 1649 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:23,640 Speaker 6: I think there's so many different teams that are in 1650 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,240 Speaker 6: the in line for this these last couple spots that 1651 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,160 Speaker 6: the tiebreakers too. Like the headheads, like Houston versus Kansas 1652 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,639 Speaker 6: City is not only big for both of those teams, 1653 01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 6: but like whoever wins that's gonna have a tiebreaker. The 1654 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 6: Colts division games even with Houston Jacksonville, like one of 1655 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:39,479 Speaker 6: them is obviously gonna win the division. 1656 01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 1: But say Houston wins it. 1657 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 6: Colts are gonna have a tie breaker against the Jaguars 1658 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:46,439 Speaker 6: that needs to be decided. Like all the It's gonna 1659 01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,599 Speaker 6: get real interesting, it's gonna get real tight, and there's 1660 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 6: gonna be a lot of teams vying for only a 1661 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:52,160 Speaker 6: few spots. 1662 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,719 Speaker 1: You kind of think that Houston's gonna get Kansas City's 1663 01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:57,760 Speaker 1: absolute best this week. Absolutely. 1664 01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,000 Speaker 4: How many times we said the Kansas City look all that, 1665 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,040 Speaker 4: the Colts blew it and then they got beat by 1666 01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 4: the Cowboys. So I don't fear them, But I do 1667 01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 4: think Kansas City's offense will put some pressure on Houston 1668 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 4: because Houston has been winning in spite of their offense, 1669 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 4: I think to a degree. So we'll see how that 1670 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:15,599 Speaker 4: shakes out. 1671 01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 1: It's in Kansas City. Is that that give you a knee? 1672 01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 4: No, I was. I went to Kansas City and saw them. 1673 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,240 Speaker 4: They do not scare me like they did in the past. 1674 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,800 Speaker 4: They're flawed, their flawed team and their defense isn't all 1675 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 4: that great. I looked at some of their numbers as 1676 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,360 Speaker 4: far as like blitzes and stuff like that. They were 1677 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 4: like the best blitzing team in the league the last 1678 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 4: three or four years. They're horrendous this year. They can't 1679 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 4: generate pressure without a blitz and then they're not blitzing 1680 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:39,800 Speaker 4: grades as it is. 1681 01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, just six and six so far. So Yeah, it's 1682 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 1: one of those things where Houston could kind of put 1683 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,960 Speaker 1: them to bed at the end of the day, but 1684 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: then Houston goes to seven and six if Kansas City 1685 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 1: does win and whoever wins between you know, the Colts 1686 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,280 Speaker 1: and the and the Jaguars, Now. 1687 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 2: We got to get off put Kansas City to bed 1688 01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,960 Speaker 2: train that that can't be a priority for Colts fan. 1689 01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 2: You are no, you want toy Sunday night. Yeah, period, 1690 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 2: I know you want to get greedy and whatever. No, 1691 01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,160 Speaker 2: you're you're not in that boat. You've made the bed 1692 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:09,719 Speaker 2: that you've. 1693 01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,840 Speaker 1: You're not impressed figuring out a way for both of 1694 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,759 Speaker 1: them to lose everything a few weeks. 1695 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,600 Speaker 2: No, you cannot be that greedy. That sounds like you 1696 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 2: sit on Santa's lap and say you want to you know, 1697 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 2: lake House. 1698 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 1: You don't. Hey, you're talking to Santa. Y ask for everything, 1699 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 1: don't you. 1700 01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:28,320 Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna be you don't get it in this. 1701 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 1: Way you asked for it. Uh So that's what's going 1702 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 1: on coming up this weekend. We'll talk more about IU 1703 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 1: Ohio State.

Mark's in danger. 1710 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Caleb's fitting the discs this morning, man, I like. 1711 01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 6: It forever, young man. 1712 01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,000 Speaker 1: It's James and Mark. 1713 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 4: Right, I know, yeah, happy, hope, and I can stay young. 1714 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 4: I'm hoping you'll go more gray hairs than you will 1715 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:06,719 Speaker 4: waken up this morning. 1716 01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 1: Have you got a text from anybody in your family 1717 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 1: yet this morning? 1718 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:12,240 Speaker 5: Nah? 1719 01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 4: I texted my sister at midnight there an hour earlier 1720 01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:15,559 Speaker 4: in Chicago. 1721 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 5: So we do that as twins. That's about it. 1722 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,600 Speaker 4: They know not to blow up my phone because I 1723 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,800 Speaker 4: gotta get up early, so I will talk to all 1724 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:23,719 Speaker 4: of them later today. 1725 01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 1: Big three to zero. 1726 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 4: Man, it is funny, though I am not really like 1727 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 4: the Facebook. Go on the page and give a shout out. 1728 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:34,840 Speaker 4: I appreciate those who do it, but yeah, there's probably 1729 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 4: a zero percent chance I respond to all of them. 1730 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,800 Speaker 4: I just you know, put the post out there. Thank 1731 01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,120 Speaker 4: you for the time. But it is cool to get 1732 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:42,640 Speaker 4: recognized a little bit, I guess. But I have a 1733 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 4: question though. Yeah, that's not related to that as far 1734 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,760 Speaker 4: as birthdays go. So you know, we've talked a lot 1735 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 4: about the defense and how they're not being hold Kevin 1736 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,799 Speaker 4: pretty much since they made the Sauce Gardner trade. 1737 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,800 Speaker 5: And who do you think has been or. 1738 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,759 Speaker 4: Will be a bigger loss for this team moving forward 1739 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,679 Speaker 4: over the next couple of weeks. I know the Forest 1740 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 4: Buckner can come back next week technically, but with Sauce 1741 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 4: now sideline to Forrest Buckner out, who's the bigger loss? 1742 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:19,760 Speaker 4: And I say this because the thinking going into this 1743 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,680 Speaker 4: season was Cheveriu's war will be your number one cornerback 1744 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,200 Speaker 4: and then you would have two number ones. 1745 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 5: But he hasn't looked like it. So has your feelings 1746 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 5: changed it all? 1747 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,960 Speaker 4: As far as who perhaps is more important, because I 1748 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 4: don't know if I trust Schavari's ward as much as 1749 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,000 Speaker 4: I did let's say week one or two of the season. 1750 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good point. I do think I 1751 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,599 Speaker 2: have a little bit more of a pause to answering 1752 01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,519 Speaker 2: the question because of what you just laid out there 1753 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,040 Speaker 2: of the cornerback play, specifically ward here of the last 1754 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 2: few weeks, I still am gonna go Buckner just because 1755 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,559 Speaker 2: I think he is so impactful, not only up front, 1756 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 2: but I think the trickle down effect is and I 1757 01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,120 Speaker 2: get you could say something similar about Sauce, and I 1758 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 2: do think he also impacts your back end and how 1759 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 2: long they have to hold up. You know, I look 1760 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:07,040 Speaker 2: at this defense the last two weeks, and I know 1761 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 2: Matt Taylor's going to join us in ten. He'll probably 1762 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 2: have some more numbers on this. But James, they've been 1763 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 2: on the field for over one hundred and seventy snaps 1764 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 2: the last two games. For maybe that number doesn't resonate 1765 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 2: totally with our audience. That is an insane number. One 1766 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy total snaps the last two weeks. 1767 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 4: I was literally, you play about sixty to give you 1768 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:30,480 Speaker 4: some kind of sixty to seventy. 1769 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,920 Speaker 2: In the game, and some games honestly not even sixty. 1770 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,760 Speaker 2: You know, more in the in the fifties. So when 1771 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 2: you look at the last two weeks, basically there's been 1772 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,600 Speaker 2: twenty real drives. I don't count kneel down at the 1773 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,320 Speaker 2: end to have some real drives. Twenty real drives for 1774 01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:47,320 Speaker 2: the Colts defense. Nine of the twenty have been double 1775 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 2: digit play drives by the opponent. So while the defense 1776 01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 2: has done a great job, which should be pointed out 1777 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 2: and keeping them out of the end zone, there's only 1778 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,479 Speaker 2: three touchdowns allowed in the last two weeks. The problem 1779 01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,840 Speaker 2: with allowing these double digit play drives inevitably, what does 1780 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:05,840 Speaker 2: that mean? It means that they're flipping the field. They 1781 01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 2: are creating field position in their favor, and so now 1782 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,799 Speaker 2: your offense has to drive how long? You know, instead 1783 01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:14,759 Speaker 2: of maybe creating a little bit of a short field, 1784 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 2: you're asking more out of your offense, and you know, 1785 01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:21,640 Speaker 2: certainly your offense has not played complimentary football enough for you. 1786 01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:23,920 Speaker 2: I don't want to act like the defense deserves some 1787 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 2: massive amount of blame, but I just tend to think 1788 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,479 Speaker 2: that if you had to force Buckner out there one 1789 01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 2: of these last two games, he makes a third down 1790 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 2: stop that wins the game. And that third down stop 1791 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:35,639 Speaker 2: might be in the middle of the third quarter right 1792 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,040 Speaker 2: or the middle of the second quarter, But when he 1793 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 2: makes you know, there was that play where CJ. Stroud 1794 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 2: on Sunday, James, the two ends kind of collapse on Stroud. 1795 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 2: It almost looks looked like a Stroud sandwich. And next thing, 1796 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,479 Speaker 2: you know, he just kind of wiggles his way through there, 1797 01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,639 Speaker 2: dumps it to I don't know, Schultz or Higgins or somebody, 1798 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 2: and it turned into a third down pickup. And it's 1799 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 2: like that little play. I look at Buckner as a 1800 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,880 Speaker 2: guy that finishes that play. You know, we talked about 1801 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 2: a lot too, a lot in the last hour not 1802 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 2: finishing enough. To me, Buckner would be that guy. So 1803 01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,479 Speaker 2: it's a great question. You know, I certainly don't want 1804 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 2: to ignore Sauce by any means, and I do think 1805 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 2: Ward has struggled, but I'd go with number ninety nine. 1806 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: And I do love that that observation about flipping the 1807 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:20,599 Speaker 1: field too, because he even looked back at the very 1808 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 1: end of the game against Houston, Colts moved the ball 1809 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: on that last drive, but they they came up just short. 1810 01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:29,679 Speaker 1: What about the thirty five yard line. 1811 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,519 Speaker 2: And where that drive start? I mean, you were, you know, 1812 01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 2: pretty packed up, you know to start that drive. One 1813 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,799 Speaker 2: thing to note and James is simply us just putting 1814 01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 2: on our observational hats. We were out there at Colts 1815 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,720 Speaker 2: practice yesterday. They wore indoors at practice. We did see 1816 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:47,240 Speaker 2: Blake Groupie kick for the Colts. Someone did point out 1817 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:51,080 Speaker 2: he's wearing Adi Mitchell's old number. You could look at 1818 01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,599 Speaker 2: that as a positive, right Jeff. After the game, Adie 1819 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:54,120 Speaker 2: Mitchell just. 1820 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 1: Had Adi Mitchell for president. Right now, let's just. 1821 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,680 Speaker 2: Going to say, there you go, Blake Groupy. I thought 1822 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,240 Speaker 2: kicked the ball pretty nicely seven for seven when we 1823 01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:05,080 Speaker 2: were out there, Some very short kicks, some very long kicks, 1824 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,880 Speaker 2: and I thought the ball and you know, I just 1825 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,639 Speaker 2: sound like an idiot trying to dissect kicking. I thought 1826 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,679 Speaker 2: the ball had a nice little pop off the five 1827 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:17,120 Speaker 2: to seven and fifty six pounders foot, not Spencer Strader pop, 1828 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,240 Speaker 2: to be clear. But I don't think Michael Badgeley pop either. 1829 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:21,800 Speaker 2: Somewhere maybe in the middle. 1830 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,040 Speaker 4: It's amazing that he can do what he does at 1831 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 4: his size. Football teams are some of the more unique 1832 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 4: cast of characters you'll ever see. 1833 01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,519 Speaker 2: Like that man is next to the Forest Buckner in 1834 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 2: the locker. 1835 01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,680 Speaker 4: They play the same sport technically, which is crazy, but 1836 01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:41,559 Speaker 4: a lot is being put on him to one deliver 1837 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 4: in the normal moment. 1838 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 5: Which is the Pats. 1839 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,479 Speaker 4: But also, hey, you might not get in the end 1840 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,680 Speaker 4: zone fully every single drive Sunday like you were the 1841 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:52,839 Speaker 4: first month of the season. 1842 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:54,760 Speaker 5: Can you put some points on the board for him? 1843 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,080 Speaker 2: So Buckner has Blake Groupie by a full foot right 1844 01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,439 Speaker 2: on the roster, six seven to five, and Buckner's listed, 1845 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:02,840 Speaker 2: know what, Caleb, but you look up to four as 1846 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 2: Buckner's hything away.

They dropped three of 1963 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 3: their last four. The Jags look like they're heading the 1964 01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 3: right direction from a franchise standpoint under first year head 1965 01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 3: coach Liam Cohen, who, by the way, prior to this 1966 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 3: year has never been a head coach at any level 1967 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,960 Speaker 3: you know as a coach. But they're looking to pull 1968 01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:56,440 Speaker 3: off the worst to first. At least one NFL team 1969 01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,000 Speaker 3: has gone worse to first, winning its division to season 1970 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:04,720 Speaker 3: and after finishing tyor in last place in twenty of 1971 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,559 Speaker 3: the last twenty three NFL season, so Jacksonville looking to 1972 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,760 Speaker 3: do that this year. They were four and thirteen last year. 1973 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 3: They've already doubled up their win total from twenty twenty four, 1974 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,240 Speaker 3: and it's a franchise that's made the postseason just four 1975 01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 3: times in the last twenty years, So there's no question 1976 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 3: they're going to be hungary coming up on Sunday. And 1977 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,519 Speaker 3: I think one of the areas where the Colts need 1978 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,680 Speaker 3: to get back to prowess is running the football. But 1979 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,880 Speaker 3: that's going to be tough on the Jaguars because they 1980 01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:38,759 Speaker 3: have held their last three opponents to under seventy rushing 1981 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 3: yards and their defense currently leads the NFL giving up 1982 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 3: only eighty two rushing yards per game. They've given up 1983 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 3: less than a thousand rushing yards on the season so 1984 01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:53,799 Speaker 3: far through twelve games. That's not great news for Jonathan 1985 01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,600 Speaker 3: Taylor because he's played the Jaguars four times in his 1986 01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,960 Speaker 3: career down at EverBank Stadium, and he's average just forty 1987 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:04,600 Speaker 3: three rushing yards a game in North Florida against the 1988 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 3: Jaguars three times. He's been held to under sixty yards 1989 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 3: on the road against the Jags. Now the Colts that 1990 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,679 Speaker 3: got to find a way to get that running game 1991 01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 3: going on Sunday, because this is going to be good 1992 01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:18,400 Speaker 3: on good. The Colts have forty four carries of over 1993 01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,160 Speaker 3: ten yards on the season, that is fourth most in 1994 01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:25,360 Speaker 3: the NFL. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have allowed just twenty four 1995 01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:28,639 Speaker 3: yards over ten or twenty four carries I should say 1996 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:32,640 Speaker 3: over ten yards. That's the fourth fewest so far in 1997 01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,439 Speaker 3: the NFL. So I don't think the offense for the 1998 01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,680 Speaker 3: Colts is nearly as dependent on Jonathan Taylor as it 1999 01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,400 Speaker 3: has been in years past, but there's no question that 2000 01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:45,360 Speaker 3: Taylor is still the biggest piston inside this engine offensively 2001 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,920 Speaker 3: for the Colts. Case in point there, the Colts are 2002 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,040 Speaker 3: six and oh this season when Taylor has at least 2003 01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:55,519 Speaker 3: ninety rushing yards, but they're two to four this year 2004 01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,840 Speaker 3: when he's less than that, and he's got less than 2005 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,720 Speaker 3: ninety yards in all three of their losses here recently. 2006 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:04,519 Speaker 3: And then the last thing I want to point out, 2007 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:08,120 Speaker 3: the Taylor tidbit, You got to keep Daniel Jones clean, 2008 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 3: all right. The Colts that they've averaged, or they did, 2009 01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 3: average thirty three points a game in the first eight 2010 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,320 Speaker 3: weeks of the season. That numbers down to twenty one 2011 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,559 Speaker 3: points per game in the last four but Daniel Jones' 2012 01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 3: numbers have been controlled in that time as well. So 2013 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:23,560 Speaker 3: you look at his last four games a quarterback for 2014 01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:27,280 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, He's got an eighty six point six passer rating, 2015 01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 3: sixty one percent completion percentage, six touchdowns, four interceptions, and 2016 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,400 Speaker 3: he only has one rushing touchdown. And he's taken thirteen 2017 01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:39,480 Speaker 3: sacks in the last month of the season. Now, Jacksonville 2018 01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:43,120 Speaker 3: on defense, they only have twenty four sacks on the season, 2019 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 3: but that's a little bit deceptive because they've got sixteen 2020 01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:51,000 Speaker 3: of those sacks since Week nine, which are fifth most 2021 01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:53,960 Speaker 3: in the NFL in that span. So teams are going 2022 01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:56,040 Speaker 3: to keep coming after the Colts. They're going to send 2023 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 3: those extra rushers until the Colts can prove they can 2024 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 3: gash it for big plays and put up a big 2025 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 3: point total and get a win doing it. And it 2026 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,320 Speaker 3: starts up front with great protection. Then it's Daniel Jones 2027 01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 3: needing to recognize where the pressure is coming from, get 2028 01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 3: the ball out on time. And then lastly, I think 2029 01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,160 Speaker 3: Colts receiver is they got to do a better job 2030 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:19,520 Speaker 3: of winning on the outside, winning their one on one matchups, 2031 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,200 Speaker 3: getting free releases, getting open to make big plays outside 2032 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:25,479 Speaker 3: the numbers, or wherever that blitz is coming from from 2033 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 3: the defense. Obviously, it's much easier said than Donefellas, but 2034 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 3: I think big picture, the Colts are going to continue 2035 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 3: to see that, you know whatever, it is a fact 2036 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:37,759 Speaker 3: simile of what they've endured in the recent past, until 2037 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,360 Speaker 3: they prove they have a winning formula to beat it 2038 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:44,559 Speaker 3: and hopefully kind of lessen the amount of pressures they're 2039 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 3: seeing in the face of Daniel Jones. 2040 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:51,080 Speaker 2: Excellent per usual from Matt Taylor. The are the tailor's tidbits. 2041 01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,280 Speaker 2: I wanted to go back to the run game element 2042 01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:55,599 Speaker 2: map because we had this discussion a little bit earlier 2043 01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,840 Speaker 2: in the show, and you know, one constant I do 2044 01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 2: feel like has been truth out this streak down there 2045 01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:02,680 Speaker 2: is I think Jacksonvilles D line has gotten the better 2046 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,120 Speaker 2: of the Colts O line. And you point out the 2047 01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 2: run game has not gotten going for the Colts lately, 2048 01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 2: and considering the weather, you would think that would be 2049 01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:14,719 Speaker 2: the blueprint. But that is what Jacksonville does stop really well. 2050 01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,519 Speaker 2: That's probably their greatest strength as a football team is 2051 01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 2: their run defense on paper, so much of what points 2052 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,920 Speaker 2: to you throw against them. But right, you know, again 2053 01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,639 Speaker 2: that's going against Jonathan Taylor and potentially against the weather. 2054 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,160 Speaker 2: So I think that's a very interesting dilemma for Shane 2055 01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:32,280 Speaker 2: Steich and heading into Sunday. 2056 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's gonna be sloppy too, right, I mean, 2057 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,240 Speaker 3: it's supposed to rain. There's like a ninety four percent 2058 01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 3: chance of rain. I don't know if that's going to 2059 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,640 Speaker 3: be consistently throughout the course of the day, but I 2060 01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:45,080 Speaker 3: think you're gonna have precipitation and it's going to impact 2061 01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:47,600 Speaker 3: the field, which impacts the footing. So that might be 2062 01:33:48,120 --> 01:33:50,519 Speaker 3: a little bit of advantage for the Colts and the trenches. 2063 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 3: You know, maybe that lessons you know, the Jaguars ability 2064 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:55,840 Speaker 3: to stop the run. I mean, I think that I 2065 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:57,479 Speaker 3: don't think the Colts are going to run wild in 2066 01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:00,200 Speaker 3: this game, you know, for something crazy like two hundred yard, 2067 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,640 Speaker 3: but maybe if they can get north of the ridiculous 2068 01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,360 Speaker 3: eighty two that the Jaguars are giving up, that would 2069 01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 3: be beneficial. Jacksonville's just a really mysterious team, and I 2070 01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 3: think Liam Cohen kind of said it best because a 2071 01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 3: lot of people are looking at you know, how they've 2072 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 3: done it, and it's not really flashy. You know, eight 2073 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,880 Speaker 3: and four is eight and four. But Liam Cohen just said, 2074 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,680 Speaker 3: like that team down there just has an edge about it, right. 2075 01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:28,479 Speaker 3: They've got like a tough DNA makeup collectively as a group, 2076 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:31,200 Speaker 3: and you know, it kind of defies logic a little 2077 01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 3: bit because you know, you look offensively Trevor Lawrence, he's 2078 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:39,800 Speaker 3: not having you know, a sensational individual statistical season. You know, 2079 01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 3: like it sounds cliche, we say it all the time, 2080 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,360 Speaker 3: but I think it's true. Like a lot of teams 2081 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 3: go as their starting quarterback goes. Well, if that were 2082 01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:50,559 Speaker 3: true for the Jacksonville Jaguars, they should be four and eight, 2083 01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:52,679 Speaker 3: not eight and four based on the season that Trevor 2084 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,439 Speaker 3: Lawrence has had. And another thing that's really weird about 2085 01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:57,240 Speaker 3: their offense, and I think I pointed it out with 2086 01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 3: Jake yesterday, is that concerning going into this game for 2087 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,639 Speaker 3: the Colts because of what has happened the last two 2088 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 3: games where the Chiefs and Texans have really ball controlled 2089 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:10,040 Speaker 3: the Colts to the tune of seventy seven minutes a 2090 01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:14,479 Speaker 3: time of possession combined. The Jaguars are eighth and time 2091 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:18,320 Speaker 3: of possession, but they're twenty sixth and third down conversion rate, 2092 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,519 Speaker 3: Like I don't know how those two things can exist 2093 01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 3: at the same time, Like, how can you hold on 2094 01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,160 Speaker 3: to the ball for that long but be that that 2095 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,000 Speaker 3: on third down? Like it just doesn't compute. But if 2096 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,840 Speaker 3: you look deeper, the defense is getting a lot of takeaways. 2097 01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,240 Speaker 3: They're really good against the run. They're getting the ball 2098 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,439 Speaker 3: back in the hands of the offense pretty quick, so 2099 01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:39,160 Speaker 3: that's kind of how they're doing it. So they're not flashy, 2100 01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:41,320 Speaker 3: you know. Even in a big win last week against 2101 01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:45,120 Speaker 3: Tennessee where they had seven punts and five three and outs, 2102 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,240 Speaker 3: they were still able to win by twenty two points. 2103 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:50,600 Speaker 3: So I think collectively, it's just a tough you know, 2104 01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:53,840 Speaker 3: it's a tough team. They're very aggressive in how they play, 2105 01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,559 Speaker 3: and obviously for the Colts, it's a difficult place to 2106 01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,640 Speaker 3: play down at EverBank Stadium. And now you're going to 2107 01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:01,479 Speaker 3: have a weather component to it as well. On Sunday, May. 2108 01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,480 Speaker 5: Do you burn some sage before you head down to Jacksonville? 2109 01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:05,160 Speaker 1: How does that work? 2110 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,719 Speaker 3: You know? Like it really is so confusing because again 2111 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 3: I say this with all due respect, you know, to 2112 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,040 Speaker 3: the Jaguars, because they they're the ones that have actually 2113 01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:15,920 Speaker 3: done it. They've won nine in a row, so there's 2114 01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:19,800 Speaker 3: something to it. But you know, EverBank Stadium, God bless it. 2115 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 3: It's it's it's getting renovated and it's going through a 2116 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:28,200 Speaker 3: massive facelift for a reason. It's it's not an intimidating 2117 01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:31,160 Speaker 3: place to play. You know, the Jaguars fans are great, 2118 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:34,720 Speaker 3: but it's not like Lambeau or Foxborough. Uh, it's just 2119 01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,439 Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. Boys like there is 2120 01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 3: there is a curse in that building for this team, 2121 01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:43,760 Speaker 3: and Kevin you mentioned it. You know that the line 2122 01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:47,400 Speaker 3: of scrimmage has really been routinely controlled by Jacksonville historically. 2123 01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 3: Down there. Another thing that's popped up, and I know 2124 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,400 Speaker 3: we've talked about this in years past, is just turnovers. 2125 01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 3: The Colts have lost nine in a row to Jacksonville 2126 01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:57,679 Speaker 3: on the road, and seven of those nine games they've 2127 01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 3: lost a turnover battle and their turnover differential for the 2128 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,479 Speaker 3: Colts is minus thirteen in those nine games. So you 2129 01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,639 Speaker 3: don't really have to be a football savant to understand 2130 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,640 Speaker 3: why the Colts have routinely gotten on the plane in 2131 01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,760 Speaker 3: North Florida and then flown back in pretty somber mood. 2132 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,639 Speaker 2: You go with David Busters tomorrow night to watch the game. 2133 01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:18,240 Speaker 3: Man, I don't know what I'm going to do. I 2134 01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 3: know I've got two friends coming down that are going 2135 01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,519 Speaker 3: to be celebrating their fortieth birthday parties. So I'm going 2136 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:25,640 Speaker 3: to hit up with them and kind of latch on 2137 01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,160 Speaker 3: to see what they want to do and where they 2138 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,000 Speaker 3: want to go. But I'm going to be front and 2139 01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:33,360 Speaker 3: center somewhere watching that game. And that's the most disappointing 2140 01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:37,600 Speaker 3: part about the IU football fan and the job that 2141 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:39,840 Speaker 3: I have is because every year, I know where I'm 2142 01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:42,040 Speaker 3: not going to be this time of year, and that's 2143 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,680 Speaker 3: in Indianapolis because Lucas Oil Stadium is always hosting the 2144 01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,679 Speaker 3: Big Ten championship game. And I've never really been bummed 2145 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:50,760 Speaker 3: out about it because my team's never been at it 2146 01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:53,120 Speaker 3: until now. And so if there ever was a time 2147 01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:55,800 Speaker 3: where I kind of lament, you know, the Colts being 2148 01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 3: on the road, it would be this this Saturday. But 2149 01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,280 Speaker 3: I'll be watching from a far and uh, I can't 2150 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,519 Speaker 3: wait for it. It's it's it's such a special time, 2151 01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:06,240 Speaker 3: as Jeff said, to be you know, an Indiana sports fan. 2152 01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,639 Speaker 2: Now you told me a few weeks back, fortieth birthday 2153 01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:11,200 Speaker 2: parties are no joke, right, I. 2154 01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:15,000 Speaker 3: Mean they're kind of like they're kind of like bachelorette 2155 01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 3: and bachelor parties, like everybody tries to like one up 2156 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,640 Speaker 3: each other, and everybody feels they like they have to 2157 01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,000 Speaker 3: go big, and to be honest with you, it's kind 2158 01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:24,960 Speaker 3: of putting a strain on my wallet a little bit 2159 01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,240 Speaker 3: because everybody wants to go do a dinner, or go 2160 01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:30,240 Speaker 3: out of town or do Vegas or get a party bus. 2161 01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:32,679 Speaker 3: And I'm like, we're forty, not twenty, Like I want 2162 01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:34,439 Speaker 3: to be in bed by ten thirty, and I got 2163 01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,040 Speaker 3: two kids at home, and I know you do too, right, 2164 01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,160 Speaker 3: So it's like, what are we trying to do here? 2165 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:45,000 Speaker 3: But uh yeah, well, I mean I do, don'tut. 2166 01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:46,599 Speaker 5: You can pinch him later, Maye. 2167 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:47,640 Speaker 3: I know, I know. 2168 01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:50,439 Speaker 2: I mean he started with the financial aspect.

I know, we know what Indiana 2247 01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:10,840 Speaker 1: has become. We've seen them go toe to toe with 2248 01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:13,400 Speaker 1: everybody this year. We saw them win the line of 2249 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:16,160 Speaker 1: scrimmage against a team like Oregon on the road. Do 2250 01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 1: you believe that they are ready to play on the 2251 01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 1: big stage against the big boys tomorrow night? Yeah? 2252 01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:24,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I you know, look at the Vegas line, 2253 01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:26,479 Speaker 2: it's four points. You know, people are asking the YouTube 2254 01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:29,160 Speaker 2: chat like David versus Goliath. I just don't view it 2255 01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:34,759 Speaker 2: in that light. I don't think Indian like one versus 2256 01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:37,639 Speaker 2: two here, not one versus fifteen or anything like that. 2257 01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:40,360 Speaker 2: You know, James, you brought up yesterday with Ohio State. 2258 01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,800 Speaker 2: It's something I say quite often. You know, when you 2259 01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:45,120 Speaker 2: do see teams that have had impressive seasons, which obviously 2260 01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:48,639 Speaker 2: Ohio State has had put game pressure on them, they 2261 01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,559 Speaker 2: have not been in competitive fourth quarters. They haven't really 2262 01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:53,519 Speaker 2: played a competitive schedule. If you really want to get 2263 01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:55,360 Speaker 2: nitpicky with then in something that is to do with 2264 01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:57,680 Speaker 2: the Big Ten in Texas not being as great of 2265 01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:59,760 Speaker 2: a team as I think people thought they would be. 2266 01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:02,639 Speaker 2: So if Indiana could create those moments in the fourth quarter, 2267 01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:06,040 Speaker 2: how does Julian say and react to it? So, you know, 2268 01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:08,559 Speaker 2: I think that'll be something to watch. But again, it's 2269 01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:10,600 Speaker 2: house money. It's beautiful. The great thing about it is 2270 01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:13,000 Speaker 2: even if you get if you lose forty to nothing 2271 01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,360 Speaker 2: tomorrow night, three weeks from now, you'll play for a 2272 01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,320 Speaker 2: trip to go to the final four of the national 2273 01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:21,920 Speaker 2: you know, college football playoff. That's a pretty darn good 2274 01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:23,400 Speaker 2: alternative prize. 2275 01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:27,120 Speaker 1: Side note the two quarterbacks playing tomorrow saying in Mendoza, 2276 01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:29,240 Speaker 1: does the winner of this football game, then one of 2277 01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:30,960 Speaker 1: the better stats win the Heisman Trophy. 2278 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,839 Speaker 5: I don't know, is it the Vanderbilt kid like high end, Yeah, Diego. 2279 01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:37,519 Speaker 2: Pavia's odds are really up there. I think if it's 2280 01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:42,720 Speaker 2: a low scoring game that could also help Pavia. I 2281 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:45,640 Speaker 2: could see the SEC country voting for Pavey. I mean, 2282 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:47,439 Speaker 2: how do we do it? We do with like a 2283 01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:49,240 Speaker 2: bunch of people around the nation right voting on this 2284 01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:52,559 Speaker 2: all over the place Heisman odds right now Mendoza plus 2285 01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,360 Speaker 2: one sixty five, Pavey up plus one seventy five and 2286 01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:59,519 Speaker 2: saying it plus one ninety five Jeremiah Love a long 2287 01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 2: long shot there and fourth. So it's going to be 2288 01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,120 Speaker 2: probably one of the closest Heisman races ever unless we 2289 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 2: get you know, some overwhelming performance from Saying or Mendoza. 2290 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:12,040 Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, all right, eight pm, start all the pregame 2291 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,920 Speaker 1: festivities here.

And tomorrow if you want 2293 01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,840 Speaker 1: to hear Don Fisher colle a basketball game cotting in 2294 01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:24,120 Speaker 1: the ninety three point one WIBC is IU takes on Louisville. 2295 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,760 Speaker 1: That one will tip off at two fifteen. You want 2296 01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:29,639 Speaker 1: to listen to Butler Tomorrow at one thirty, We've got 2297 01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:31,439 Speaker 1: that one for you right here on the fan. They'll 2298 01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 1: be hosting Boise State. And if you want to warm 2299 01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,080 Speaker 1: up and watch some TV. I always stayed at Purdue. 2300 01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,519 Speaker 1: I think that'll be an entertaining basketball great game. 2301 01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:40,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, two of the better offenses in all college basketball. 2302 01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,320 Speaker 2: I alway State, it's the best shooting team in college 2303 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:46,280 Speaker 2: basketball so far this season. So yeah, it should be 2304 01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:49,639 Speaker 2: an awesome atmosphere there at MACKI and I would assume 2305 01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:53,000 Speaker 2: one Tyres haliburn I make an appearance behind the old 2306 01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:53,759 Speaker 2: visiting bench. 2307 01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:57,599 Speaker 1: All right, tonight the Pacers take on the Chicago Bulls. 2308 01:44:57,640 --> 01:44:59,360 Speaker 1: They'll be on the road. That one starts at eight 2309 01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:02,160 Speaker 1: seven thirty airtime, here at ninety three five and one 2310 01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:05,719 Speaker 1: seven another calf injury. Kevin Bowen. 2311 01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben Shepard, I'm gonna be I don't believe he 2312 01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:10,080 Speaker 2: got hurt during the game, or at least and leave 2313 01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,439 Speaker 2: the game the other night against Denver due to that 2314 01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:14,840 Speaker 2: calf injury. But yeah, I would assume that means Jarris 2315 01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:17,800 Speaker 2: Walker into the starting line up here with Pacers have 2316 01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:19,640 Speaker 2: seen the balls a lot already. The season is to 2317 01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,479 Speaker 2: be the third meeting. Remember, Pascal Siakam had the game 2318 01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,479 Speaker 2: winner against Chicago over the weekend, four and a half 2319 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,599 Speaker 2: point underdog, so you're not too big of a spread here. 2320 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,759 Speaker 2: Chicago's got several injuries either they are dealing. 2321 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:33,760 Speaker 1: With all right. And of course Sunday afternoon, we've been 2322 01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,880 Speaker 1: talking about it all day, the Colts at the Jaguars 2323 01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,080 Speaker 1: and one o'clock that will also be hurt on the fan. 2324 01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:41,559 Speaker 1: Our pregame festivity start at ten a m. In the morning. 2325 01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 1: Big news yesterday at a Colts camp, Kennymore named the 2326 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,320 Speaker 1: Walter Payton Man of the Year for the Indianapolis Colts. 2327 01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:49,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, well deserved for Kenny. 2328 01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:53,000 Speaker 4: So before practice got on their way yesterday, Kaylin Jackson, 2329 01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:54,599 Speaker 4: the Colts owner came out and gave a little speech 2330 01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,320 Speaker 4: about Kenny. He's working in the community and how much 2331 01:45:57,360 --> 01:46:00,000 Speaker 4: he cares about things other than football when it comes 2332 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,519 Speaker 4: to Indianapolis. So well deserved for mister Kenny who teaches 2333 01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,519 Speaker 4: over at Cardinal Ritor on tuesdays like that. 2334 01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,160 Speaker 1: Also, the biggest applause of the day practice came for 2335 01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,519 Speaker 1: the brand new kicker, Kevin What was going on there? 2336 01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, when we were out there, a little smattering of 2337 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,240 Speaker 2: applause for Blake Groupie a perfect seven for seven on 2338 01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:18,080 Speaker 2: his field goal attempts. So we'll see how that transitions 2339 01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:20,840 Speaker 2: to an outdoor environment, potentially in the rain coming up 2340 01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,240 Speaker 2: on Sunday again. Colt's a slight favorite in this one. 2341 01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:25,479 Speaker 2: One thing to note on Big ten title for our 2342 01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,000 Speaker 2: fans out there, either going to the game or simply 2343 01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:31,240 Speaker 2: you know whatever, hosting a party.

I was listening 2356 01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:08,840 Speaker 1: to Jay Query and they did the breaking new sounder Kevin. 2357 01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:12,240 Speaker 1: I know you're probably were this. Marion University confirming that 2358 01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: it's a football program has been removed from the NEAIA 2359 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:19,800 Speaker 1: playoffs after using an academically ineligible player of for I 2360 01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:22,960 Speaker 1: think three games. That it was an inadvertent mistake that 2361 01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,400 Speaker 1: they make, but they owned up to it and they 2362 01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:28,880 Speaker 1: will no longer participate in the nai Football Championship Series. 2363 01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:32,240 Speaker 1: This week in West Palm Beach, I was crust volunteer yesday. 2364 01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, I just know the details that I saw, 2365 01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,880 Speaker 2: but it doesn't make sense to me, if I'm going 2366 01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:42,679 Speaker 2: to be totally honest. Sounds like this was a player 2367 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:47,040 Speaker 2: that maybe wasn't playing a whole lot. Then simply yeah, 2368 01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:50,320 Speaker 2: I guess made a mistake and withdrawing from a class 2369 01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:54,080 Speaker 2: and therefore the other what eighty guys in the football 2370 01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:57,280 Speaker 2: team get punished for it. I don't that's bureaucracy and 2371 01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:01,200 Speaker 2: actually doesn't really add Again, probably in the wrong on that, 2372 01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:03,240 Speaker 2: and I mean I probably should. I don't know. Maybe 2373 01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:06,280 Speaker 2: rules or rules look more into it, but it just 2374 01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:08,559 Speaker 2: doesn't really seem to make a little. 2375 01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:11,960 Speaker 1: Less James as a former Anyia football player that did 2376 01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:14,400 Speaker 1: play in those playoffs a couple of years back in 2377 01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:19,080 Speaker 1: the day. I can't tell you just from afar, not 2378 01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:21,760 Speaker 1: even personally knowing any of those marrying kids, I just 2379 01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:23,280 Speaker 1: know how devastating that would be. 2380 01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:23,639 Speaker 3: Man. 2381 01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:25,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to if you go out, you want 2382 01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:26,960 Speaker 4: to be able to go out saying you've actually played 2383 01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:27,280 Speaker 4: a game. 2384 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,920 Speaker 1: So that stinks, I does think. All right, anything else 2385 01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:31,479 Speaker 1: you guys will throw him before we move on to 2386 01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:33,559 Speaker 1: some of our NFL picks for the weekend here. 2387 01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, we got the FIFA World Cup draw at noon. 2388 01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:39,559 Speaker 2: So next year the World Cup will be right here 2389 01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:41,719 Speaker 2: in the United States of America and we'll find out. 2390 01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:42,840 Speaker 5: That's what the drawings say. 2391 01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,880 Speaker 4: Like USA, we got to get it done.

He did have 2395 01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:02,559 Speaker 4: the game winning to Ruey Hotchamura in scoring. 2396 01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:06,040 Speaker 5: He sacrificed his streak for that eight What did he shoot? 2397 01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:09,040 Speaker 4: Four ver seventeen? Shot a bunch of bricks. Stop shooting 2398 01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:09,960 Speaker 4: the ball.

I think he has one twenty point game 2403 01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:22,960 Speaker 4: this year. He's looking old, but it happens. 2404 01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:23,400 Speaker 5: To all of them. 2405 01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:27,640 Speaker 1: Father father time always wins, all right.

That's a six and 2431 01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,479 Speaker 2: a half point favorite. I thought about that. I'm gonna 2432 01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:43,080 Speaker 2: go Monday night Eagles at Chargers. The Eagles are favored 2433 01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:46,519 Speaker 2: by two and a half. Is justin Herbert plaining or not? 2434 01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:51,000 Speaker 2: Let's start there?

I like the Chargers, 2437 01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:00,560 Speaker 2: but then again, Chargers have been so oh jackal and 2438 01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,439 Speaker 2: Hyde this year, So that to me is the hardest game, 2439 01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:03,599 Speaker 2: and it's the last game of the week. 2440 01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:06,479 Speaker 1: Here in week fourteen, Herbert had surgery in this none 2441 01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:07,080 Speaker 1: throwing him. 2442 01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:10,200 Speaker 2: Correct left hand. He's got a little cast ish situation here. 2443 01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:13,559 Speaker 2: He's practicing, but you know it's different than getting hit 2444 01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:15,040 Speaker 2: by that vaunted Eagles d line. 2445 01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:17,719 Speaker 1: James, what's the most difficult game for you to predict 2446 01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:18,600 Speaker 1: this weekend? 2447 01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:22,479 Speaker 4: I know we have what commander's vikings that is a 2448 01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,679 Speaker 4: one and a half point fether from Minnesota. JAJ McCarthy 2449 01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:27,200 Speaker 4: are gonna be back in the lineup. I think the 2450 01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:30,160 Speaker 4: Commanders are still going with Marcus Mariotta if I'm not mistaken. 2451 01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:33,000 Speaker 2: Daniel's back to practice, but not Yeah, I don't know 2452 01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:34,400 Speaker 2: he's fully clear to play it. 2453 01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:38,360 Speaker 4: So again, two quarterbacks and one quarterback's got awful. I 2454 01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:40,479 Speaker 4: just don't really want to pick any of those guys 2455 01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:42,400 Speaker 4: because you just never know what might happen there. 2456 01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,880 Speaker 1: Just I need him to keep throwing to Terry mclaur 2457 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:45,759 Speaker 1: that's all I need. 2458 01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:47,479 Speaker 4: Also, I don't think the Viking should be favored in 2459 01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,559 Speaker 4: anything with j J. McCarty just starting right now. To 2460 01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:54,040 Speaker 4: be honest with you, I am gonna stay. I love 2461 01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:56,040 Speaker 4: me a good old slob or knocker. 2462 01:51:56,760 --> 01:52:00,639 Speaker 1: Nothing says that like AFC nor two six and six teams, 2463 01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:02,000 Speaker 1: the Steelers and the race. 2464 01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:03,960 Speaker 6: You've never heard of that I've heard. 2465 01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. 2466 01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:07,000 Speaker 2: No, I never heard. 2467 01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:09,040 Speaker 1: That means what we were talking about earlier. Hat on 2468 01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:13,000 Speaker 1: hat line up and let's go bang helmets man. You've 2469 01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,479 Speaker 1: never heard of Kevin? I know you've heard of that, Yes, 2470 01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:15,840 Speaker 1: I have. 2471 01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:18,559 Speaker 2: Mark Dyton might be breaking into the studio though, if 2472 01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:19,719 Speaker 2: you keep this audio up. 2473 01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:22,160 Speaker 1: Here, I'm ready to go. I'm fully on board with that. 2474 01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:26,200 Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens. That's one of those that every year you 2475 01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:27,320 Speaker 1: just know they are. 2476 01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:30,439 Speaker 2: What is the line of that one? Five and a half. 2477 01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:34,559 Speaker 1: Five for the Ravens, Jeff. I'm staying away from it, though, 2478 01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:36,760 Speaker 1: from betting on it, because I just think you never 2479 01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:37,719 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. 2480 01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:39,759 Speaker 2: In then, Mark Jackson did not practiced yesterday. 2481 01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:42,360 Speaker 1: No, he's been weird lately too. Something's not quite right. 2482 01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:46,320 Speaker 1: He hasn't been right since that injury. So that I'm 2483 01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:48,200 Speaker 1: staying away from that one. That's the most difficult for 2484 01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:50,840 Speaker 1: me to figure out what's going to happen. And all right, 2485 01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:52,200 Speaker 1: most entertaining game this. 2486 01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:54,600 Speaker 2: Year, I'm gonna go Bengals Bills, Joe Burrow back in 2487 01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,000 Speaker 2: the lineup. Those two quarterbacks. I mean, those are two 2488 01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:00,040 Speaker 2: guys that one day could certainly be in try. I 2489 01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:03,280 Speaker 2: didn't Canton, Ohio. I was totally impressed by Burrow on 2490 01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:07,080 Speaker 2: Thursday night last week for Thanksgiving and his return. I know, 2491 01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:09,679 Speaker 2: I asked you guys yesterday who to start in fantasy 2492 01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:13,759 Speaker 2: Kayleb Williams, Sam Darnold of Joe Burrow. You guys pushed 2493 01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:16,360 Speaker 2: me in the Burrow direction. So I'm going there need 2494 01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:18,360 Speaker 2: to shoot out and it's a high over under, so 2495 01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:20,840 Speaker 2: entertainment wise, you're gonna get points. It looks like fifty 2496 01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:24,759 Speaker 2: two and a half, I believe for Bengals and Bills James. 2497 01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:27,800 Speaker 4: Most entertaining game, I could go with the one that 2498 01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:30,680 Speaker 4: I will be actually attending in person, which is Colts Jaguars. 2499 01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:32,920 Speaker 4: But the interests of the rest of the division, I 2500 01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,360 Speaker 4: think it's very entertaining to see what happens with the 2501 01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:39,400 Speaker 4: Chiefs and the Texans. Can the Texans basically put the 2502 01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:43,120 Speaker 4: Chiefs out of the playoff picture or do the Chiefs 2503 01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:46,080 Speaker 4: stay alive, which would help the Colts in this case, 2504 01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:47,240 Speaker 4: if they don't talk the Texans. 2505 01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:51,679 Speaker 1: Yeah for entertaining boy Mark wishes he was here. Another 2506 01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,679 Speaker 1: divisional matchup, and I think this one who we're gonna 2507 01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:57,240 Speaker 1: find out who the Bears really are. Green Bay Packers 2508 01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:01,160 Speaker 1: hosting the Chicago Bears for twenty five Sunday afternoon. I 2509 01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:03,840 Speaker 1: think that's going to be an absolute burner to watch 2510 01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:05,880 Speaker 1: the biggest Bears game since when. 2511 01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:08,880 Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like you gotta go go back 2512 01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:11,599 Speaker 6: to the little bit, maybe some playoff games with the 2513 01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 6: Trubisky like that. 2514 01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:15,120 Speaker 5: We're going the team. 2515 01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,000 Speaker 1: That was defeated by the Indianapolis Colts in the rain 2516 01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:20,479 Speaker 1: right all the way to the Super I don't know 2517 01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:22,439 Speaker 1: if I go that far, but yeah, it's a big 2518 01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:23,280 Speaker 1: It's the biggest. 2519 01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:25,679 Speaker 4: Game in a winn relevant really truly since the game 2520 01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:27,679 Speaker 4: between then and the double dointy. 2521 01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:31,240 Speaker 1: But nobody was expecting them to go anywhere. Uh Anyway, 2522 01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,840 Speaker 1: That's where I'm at right there. No, I never took 2523 01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:37,320 Speaker 1: the Bear seriously, loves of the final play of the game. 2524 01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:38,520 Speaker 5: That was a pretty big game for them. 2525 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:43,960 Speaker 1: They were lost, all right, Easiest game for you to 2526 01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:44,800 Speaker 1: bet on this weekend. 2527 01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:47,040 Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this out loud, but I 2528 01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:51,880 Speaker 2: am going to bet on the Jets. Yeah, the Dolphins 2529 01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:54,800 Speaker 2: are going on the road to face the Jets two 2530 01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,560 Speaker 2: in cold weather. We know that doesn't go well, right, 2531 01:54:58,160 --> 01:55:00,200 Speaker 2: And the Jets are getting points at home, and the 2532 01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:03,560 Speaker 2: Jets have won a couple games here lately. So is 2533 01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:05,560 Speaker 2: there so much of this? It says Kevin, you are 2534 01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:09,360 Speaker 2: an absolute idiot. Just shut up and stay clear of 2535 01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:12,640 Speaker 2: this game. But no, for some reason, I believe Jets 2536 01:55:12,720 --> 01:55:15,200 Speaker 2: home getting points against TUA in cold weather. 2537 01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:20,600 Speaker 4: Jets James, I think I'm rolling with the Broncos and 2538 01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:23,200 Speaker 4: the Raiders. The Broncos I've here about seven and a half. 2539 01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:27,200 Speaker 4: I know it's a weird number. It's a division game, 2540 01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:30,440 Speaker 4: but at the same time, the Raiders just absolutely stink. 2541 01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:32,760 Speaker 5: Nothing they do ever make sense to me. 2542 01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:34,440 Speaker 4: So I feel like they've got to that point of 2543 01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:36,560 Speaker 4: the year where you might start getting some guys who 2544 01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:37,360 Speaker 4: are ready for cant Con. 2545 01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go backs against the Wall. I think you're 2546 01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:43,720 Speaker 1: going to see the absolute best that Andy Reid and 2547 01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:47,240 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelson or she Rice can bring 2548 01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,120 Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans. They're playing at home. It's all 2549 01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:52,640 Speaker 1: about either continuing on or being done. I think you 2550 01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:54,680 Speaker 1: will get the best Chiefs or three and a half 2551 01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:56,600 Speaker 1: point favorites. I think they'll cover that, James. 2552 01:55:57,560 --> 01:56:00,000 Speaker 2: That's where I'm going, big one, big one for the Colts. 2553 01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:02,240 Speaker 1: Who's easiest one for you? Man? Uh? 2554 01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:04,120 Speaker 6: Going going with me for this one? 2555 01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:04,320 Speaker 3: Here? 2556 01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:06,440 Speaker 6: I was actually I'm not gonna like Kevin. 2557 01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:07,440 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I. 2558 01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:09,200 Speaker 6: Think the Dolphins are playing at really well. 2559 01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:10,640 Speaker 2: Well that makes me feel a little better. 2560 01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:12,760 Speaker 6: Well, no, And then I was like you said that, 2561 01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:14,000 Speaker 6: and I was like, yeah, it's a great point to 2562 01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,640 Speaker 6: in cold weather, right, not a good bet, right, So 2563 01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:19,080 Speaker 6: I don't know where i'd go. I might say Buccaneers 2564 01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:20,760 Speaker 6: off of Bye. I think they're getting a little healthier 2565 01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:23,320 Speaker 6: against the Saints. I know it's eight and Hike Evins potentially, 2566 01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:25,360 Speaker 6: so I was gonna say the Bucks. 2567 01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:28,640 Speaker 1: All right, that's where we're at right now. Let us 2568 01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:30,440 Speaker 1: know if you disagree or be with any of those 2569 01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:32,720 Speaker 1: two three nine ten seventy will also be back to 2570 01:56:32,760 --> 01:56:35,640 Speaker 1: talk about the Colts in their game against the Jacksonville 2571 01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:37,560 Speaker 1: Jaguars coming up in just a moment here at ninety 2572 01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:43,360 Speaker 1: three five and seven The Fan, Great job today, Caleb 2573 01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:44,360 Speaker 1: Wait to go, my man. 2574 01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:45,800 Speaker 2: Thank you. 2575 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,240 Speaker 1: One more.

Nobody in my 2586 01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:11,560 Speaker 4: family says the eye is just Jessica Jessica. So as 2587 01:57:11,560 --> 01:57:13,280 Speaker 4: a joke, I've had her name missed out on my 2588 01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:15,320 Speaker 4: phone for the last twenty years. 2589 01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:19,840 Speaker 1: I love it. Anyway, We've got a big weekend coming up. 2590 01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:22,000 Speaker 1: We've been talking about it all morning long, and now 2591 01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:23,880 Speaker 1: it comes down to what we think is going to 2592 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:26,400 Speaker 1: happen with the Colts and the Jaguars. I know, taking 2593 01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,000 Speaker 1: heat this morning because the Jaguars are good against the run. 2594 01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,320 Speaker 1: I just think that you want to go take your division, 2595 01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:34,720 Speaker 1: go do what they do well. I think the Colts 2596 01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:37,400 Speaker 1: can run the ball as well as anybody. Strength on strength, 2597 01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:40,640 Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's put Jonathan Taylor in between the tackles. 2598 01:57:40,680 --> 01:57:43,240 Speaker 1: Outside the tackles, let's bloody them up a little bit 2599 01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,400 Speaker 1: and go win a football game. I think the Colts 2600 01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:46,760 Speaker 1: will be able to do that. I think they're going 2601 01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:48,880 Speaker 1: to win this game twenty seven to twenty four. 2602 01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:53,480 Speaker 2: All right, all right, making our picks, I guess, okay, 2603 01:57:53,680 --> 01:57:56,600 Speaker 2: I like the Colts as well. I think I said 2604 01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,640 Speaker 2: twenty three twenty or maybe twenty four twenty something along 2605 01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:03,960 Speaker 2: those lines. I don't really trust Trevor Lawrence either. You know, 2606 01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:06,240 Speaker 2: that's probably an area we haven't talked a lot about. 2607 01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:08,839 Speaker 2: You know, Lawrence, if you look at the games this season, 2608 01:58:09,680 --> 01:58:13,000 Speaker 2: this passer rating hasn't been very very high, so I 2609 01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:15,200 Speaker 2: think the Colts should have an ability to kind of 2610 01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,320 Speaker 2: neutralize him. I did see Parker Washington, they're leading white out, 2611 01:58:18,680 --> 01:58:21,920 Speaker 2: did return to practice yesterday, so they will likely be 2612 01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:24,560 Speaker 2: without their left tackle though, so can you take advantage there? 2613 01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:27,440 Speaker 2: So I will say the Colts end the streak twenty 2614 01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:28,520 Speaker 2: four to twenty. 2615 01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:30,800 Speaker 1: And I like that full circle ten year thing you've 2616 01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:32,760 Speaker 1: been talking about all week too. Man, that's the best. 2617 01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:34,240 Speaker 1: So thanks for bringing that up again. 2618 01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:37,120 Speaker 4: And you James, you guys are not fooling me. I'm 2619 01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:39,720 Speaker 4: not following for this. I've done this many. 2620 01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,520 Speaker 1: A times, but then in the tailpipe for you, yeah, 2621 01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. 2622 01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:45,440 Speaker 4: I'm picking the Jaguars because they win against this team 2623 01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:48,720 Speaker 4: in Jacksonville on an annual basis for god knows whatever 2624 01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:50,760 Speaker 4: reasons in the past life. I don't know if Jim 2625 01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:54,280 Speaker 4: Ursay did something to that franchise whoever owns that team, 2626 01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:57,280 Speaker 4: but for whatever reason, bad things happen when they go 2627 01:58:57,320 --> 01:59:00,440 Speaker 4: down there. So all that mind, I'm picking the Jackaguars. 2628 01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,400 Speaker 4: I want to say two zero just patrol, because I 2629 01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:04,920 Speaker 4: feel like that'd be the weirdest outcome for this game. 2630 01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:08,160 Speaker 4: But I'll pick the Jaguars to win twenty one to 2631 01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:10,640 Speaker 4: twenty Was it zire fo twenty three? 2632 01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:11,120 Speaker 5: Twenty? 2633 01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:13,560 Speaker 1: Was it zire Franklin was talking about in the I 2634 01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:16,560 Speaker 1: thought I saw him quoted yesterday saying, look, he doesn't 2635 01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:19,440 Speaker 1: pay any attention to that different team, different you're, different players, 2636 01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:21,440 Speaker 1: different coordinator, all that kind of stuff. 2637 01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:23,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, but Zay, you've never beat that team of your 2638 01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:25,400 Speaker 4: career down there, so I don't want to hear any 2639 01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:27,760 Speaker 4: of that from him or anybody else. Like they tell us, Oh, 2640 01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:29,960 Speaker 4: it's a talking porn for you guys, It's only that 2641 01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:31,680 Speaker 4: way because you all never win there. 2642 01:59:32,240 --> 01:59:33,480 Speaker 5: It's your fault, not ours. 2643 01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:34,200 Speaker 2: Kevin. 2644 01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:38,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I as much as I want to be a 2645 01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:41,800 Speaker 6: real fan here and believe in my team, I'm siding 2646 01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:44,480 Speaker 6: with James. I'm nervous about this game. I think the 2647 01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,960 Speaker 6: Jaguars are gonna win twenty six twenty three. I think 2648 01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:51,040 Speaker 6: I'm on the same boat James, when I'll have to 2649 01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:53,480 Speaker 6: see it to believe it. My heart has been broken 2650 01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:56,520 Speaker 6: down there too many times, and I'm starting to get 2651 01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:58,760 Speaker 6: real nervous about where this thing is added. So, but 2652 01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,320 Speaker 6: I don't they proved me wrong, So we'll see. 2653 02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:05,840 Speaker 1: How is your Ohio State heart feeling for tomorrow night. 2654 02:00:05,960 --> 02:00:08,280 Speaker 6: I think it's a cool personally, it's a cool thing 2655 02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:09,840 Speaker 6: to just be here in this city while this is 2656 02:00:09,880 --> 02:00:11,880 Speaker 6: going on. I have to say, like I lucked out 2657 02:00:11,920 --> 02:00:16,160 Speaker 6: for sure. I think Ohio State is going to win tomorrow. 2658 02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:18,560 Speaker 6: But I also think there's a chance we're going to 2659 02:00:18,600 --> 02:00:20,640 Speaker 6: be getting a part two to this. 2660 02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:21,440 Speaker 2: Later on in the year. 2661 02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:24,200 Speaker 6: Uh it would. I like the playoffs, and I think 2662 02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:27,680 Speaker 6: so I'll be interested to see, like if everything is 2663 02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:30,200 Speaker 6: showed for both teams. I think that's a great point 2664 02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:33,400 Speaker 6: to bring up. I think you again I think both 2665 02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:35,160 Speaker 6: teams want to win this really bad. But I also 2666 02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:36,960 Speaker 6: I don't know if Ryan Day is going to hold back. 2667 02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:38,720 Speaker 6: I don't know if Signette's going to hold some things back. 2668 02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:41,280 Speaker 6: So I think that chess match is going to be interesting. 2669 02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward. Kevin, how are you feeling about tomorrow night? 2670 02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:44,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2671 02:00:44,520 --> 02:00:46,080 Speaker 2: I think it's a great point that Caleb brings up 2672 02:00:46,120 --> 02:00:47,680 Speaker 2: of like, is there any sort I think when you're 2673 02:00:47,680 --> 02:00:49,240 Speaker 2: in the heat of the moment, you know that stuff 2674 02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:52,280 Speaker 2: probably gets thrown out the window, But like, yeah, I 2675 02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:55,080 Speaker 2: mean when you're discussing the potential of these two teams 2676 02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:56,640 Speaker 2: who I think many You know, if you look at 2677 02:00:56,640 --> 02:00:59,720 Speaker 2: the odds right now, they are clearly the two atop 2678 02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:04,560 Speaker 2: the list from an odds standpoint, then you know, is 2679 02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:06,240 Speaker 2: there any sort of Well, this is the play we've 2680 02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:08,240 Speaker 2: been talking about all year long. I kind of want 2681 02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:10,160 Speaker 2: to save that for the one and done formatt not 2682 02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:12,600 Speaker 2: the No matter what happens tomorrow night, you're still going 2683 02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:14,320 Speaker 2: to be playing, and you're still likely going to be 2684 02:01:14,680 --> 02:01:16,800 Speaker 2: a favorite in the quarterfinal round. So I think it'll 2685 02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:19,560 Speaker 2: be a great game. I do, and I think Indiana 2686 02:01:19,600 --> 02:01:22,320 Speaker 2: will will win. I think it'll be a very close, 2687 02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:25,320 Speaker 2: close game, but I think Indiana will will get it done. 2688 02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:27,680 Speaker 2: I think having Elijah Srot back and healthy and Omar 2689 02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:29,800 Speaker 2: Cooper Junior, I think it's just I don't know if 2690 02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:33,360 Speaker 2: he's underrated nationally, but I think he's a special talent. 2691 02:01:33,440 --> 02:01:35,480 Speaker 2: I think he's got some Deebo Samuel vibes to him, 2692 02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:36,840 Speaker 2: and I think he'll make a couple of really big 2693 02:01:36,840 --> 02:01:37,680 Speaker 2: plays in this game. 2694 02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:41,480 Speaker 1: James, you saw what Indiana did to your team. They 2695 02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:44,320 Speaker 1: came from behind and won a tough game at Iowa City, 2696 02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:46,839 Speaker 1: they came from behind, won a tough game at Oregon, 2697 02:01:46,840 --> 02:01:49,720 Speaker 1: they overcame that pick six. They just keep finding ways 2698 02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:53,480 Speaker 1: to surprise people. Are you ready to predict them and 2699 02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:54,840 Speaker 1: win over Ohio State? 2700 02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:58,560 Speaker 4: No, I can't go that far. Ohio State is not 2701 02:01:58,600 --> 02:02:02,840 Speaker 4: Illinois by any means. So I have, you know, jumped 2702 02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:06,800 Speaker 4: on the IU bandwagon, and I have certainly given them 2703 02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:08,280 Speaker 4: their flowers. But I don't think they're going to beat 2704 02:02:08,280 --> 02:02:10,160 Speaker 4: Ohio State tomorrow night. But if they do, I'd love 2705 02:02:10,200 --> 02:02:11,960 Speaker 4: to see it. I definitely would. You know, I'm not 2706 02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:13,560 Speaker 4: going to root against them or anything like that like 2707 02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:16,160 Speaker 4: I was with Mahlma Mater, But Nah, this is a 2708 02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:18,000 Speaker 4: different level of football and I think Ohio State is 2709 02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:18,920 Speaker 4: going to show that again. 2710 02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:21,240 Speaker 1: I think Indiana's risen up to that level though. I 2711 02:02:21,280 --> 02:02:25,160 Speaker 1: love the way they're playing again physically along the offensive line, 2712 02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:28,320 Speaker 1: especially Kevin You talked earlier about Roman Hemby and Kaylin 2713 02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Black and they're running the football. Well, we know that 2714 02:02:31,480 --> 02:02:34,040 Speaker 1: Mendoza is a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, but 2715 02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:36,800 Speaker 1: look at those receivers too that they've developed, and I 2716 02:02:36,840 --> 02:02:38,560 Speaker 1: know it's this is going to be my favorite thing 2717 02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:41,400 Speaker 1: to watch because of the defensive backfield for Ohio State 2718 02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:46,400 Speaker 1: is maybe unmatched in college football. But Omar Cooper, Elijah Sharratt, 2719 02:02:47,080 --> 02:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Charlie Becker's come on you still, They're just up and 2720 02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:52,400 Speaker 1: down the roster. There's four or five guys that can 2721 02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:55,000 Speaker 1: make plays for you just receiving the football and a 2722 02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:56,960 Speaker 1: couple of guys that can do it on the run. 2723 02:02:57,080 --> 02:02:59,920 Speaker 1: Then you've got the high I just love where Indiana's 2724 02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:00,680 Speaker 1: this year. 2725 02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:02,320 Speaker 5: And then you look at the other side and they 2726 02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:03,640 Speaker 5: got everything in that and more. 2727 02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:04,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2728 02:03:04,280 --> 02:03:06,160 Speaker 4: So do I mean they got Jeremiah Smith who could 2729 02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:07,520 Speaker 4: have been the top five pick last year. 2730 02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,480 Speaker 2: James saying Illinois is not Ohio State is about as 2731 02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:12,520 Speaker 2: true of a statement as Jeff saying people have birthdays 2732 02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:13,720 Speaker 2: every day. 2733 02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:17,520 Speaker 4: I was just pointing out, like log I chose Illinois 2734 02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:19,840 Speaker 4: solely because of where I graduated from and at the 2735 02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:21,040 Speaker 4: time they were ranked pretty high. 2736 02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:23,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, no, this is not that well, it's gonna 2737 02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:28,560 Speaker 1: be an unbelievable weekend of football coltson Jacksonville. And of 2738 02:03:28,600 --> 02:03:32,160 Speaker 1: course I think you're onto something too. This might just 2739 02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:35,000 Speaker 1: be part one of Ohio State Indiana Kevin.
