1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday, we continue the countdown to the National Championship

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Game on Monday night, Indiana. Miami can't wait for it

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: to happen, but we've got to kill some time between

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: now and then, and there are a lot of great

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: things to do, whether it's NBA college basketball, but also

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: we are enjoying the heck out of catching up with

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: former Hoosiers this past week, and folks that like us

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: are probably pretty excited for what's going to happen on

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Monday night. And having said that, we welcome in our

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: next guest. Peyton Ramsey played quarterback for the Hoosiers. Last

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: time we saw him was back in twenty nineteen, and

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: he is kind enough to join us this morning on

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: the Paylessliquers Hotline. Good morning, Peyton, Welcome into Championship Week

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: with the Hoosiers.

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: How about that. I never thought i'd hear those words

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: come out of anybody's mouth, but here we are, and

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: it's an exciting time for all of this former Hoosiers.

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: Peyton, how much trash talk have you been able to

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: have with some of these perhaps SEC schools, other programs

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: that you had to deal with throughout the years. Who

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: told you, well, you know you're not in this conversation

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: you are.

23
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: It's it's fantastic. I mean there's plenty of them here.

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: I'm here in Cincinnati, so there's there's Buckeye fans too

25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: that I've I've been able to enjoy that conversation with.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: But overall, just been a lot of fun. I mean

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: a ton of fun, uh, following these guys because they

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: do a heck of a job and and uh seems

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: like they have a ton of ton of fun playing

30
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: with each other as well.

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: So Peyton on no more serious no. As a former

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: quarterback for the university, when you see the job that

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: Frando Mendoza has done this season, what stands out to you,

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: Whether it's on the field or perhaps he's unique personality

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: off of it.

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: It's both to your point, but there they're seemingly on

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: the field no weaknesses in his game. It's like I

38
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: heard somebody talk about it the other day on on

39
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: sports talk radio that like since he's won the Heisman,

40
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: he's he's somehow gotten better and it's like this playoff run,

41
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: he's just continued to improve. And then off the field,

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: he just seems I've never met him, but he just

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: seems like an unbelievable leader in a locker room guy,

44
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: and those things I think get take for granted oftentimes.

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: But the way that the that he galvanizes that team

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: and the way that guys rally around him, I mean,

47
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: it's it's priceless.

48
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: That's a voice of Peyton Ramsey.

49
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: He's kind enough to join us here, obviously, former IU

50
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: quarterback with us here on this Thursday morning.

51
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: Peyton, my hand is raised.

52
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 5: I'm a loser and my brother in law and I

53
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: I think both fall into this category. We are obsessed

54
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 5: with your ability to QB sneak, and I mean that

55
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 5: in all seriousness. I cannot tell you how many times

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 5: we watched Indiana play football over the years, and your

57
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: ability to every single time, I swear you went off

58
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 5: tackle for the QB sneak every single time. We've labeled

59
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 5: you the greatest QB sneaker in the history of football.

60
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 5: So please take that as a compliment. And can you

61
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 5: also share your secrets in the QB sneak?

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you're not allowing because some of my buddies

63
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: they still give me a hard time about it all.

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: Not a hard time, but they joke about it all

65
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: the time because I'm a high school coach here here

66
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: now in Senci, and don't we don't run the quarterback

67
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: sneak hardly at all, and they give me the hardest time. Stuff.

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: I was so good at it, and I don't know

69
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: what it was. I just kind of figured out that

70
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: if you kind of take a step back and let

71
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: it develop, you can find you can sneak through the

72
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: little cracks because everybody's kind of diving at the center's legs.

73
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: So if you just go off tackle off of the guard,

74
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: you got a better shot to get picking up a

75
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: first down.

76
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: Patience if I get stuck in the cave one day,

77
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 5: Matt lovers and I'll be calling Peyton Ramsey to get

78
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 5: us out of that cave.

79
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: Man.

80
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: His ability, yeah, to find the cracks incredible. Okay, let's

81
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: flip it over the other side. James asked you about Mendoza.

82
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: I'm curious from a quarterback point of view, a coach

83
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: point of view, what you see from Brian Haynes in

84
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: that defense. We played a Mario Christobal clip earlier and

85
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 5: he was glowing in his praise about maybe just kind

86
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: of the graduate level nature that Bryant Haynes has established

87
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 5: obviously a lot of you know, veteran voices and players

88
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 5: on that side of the ball, But what have you

89
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: seen from Indiana's defense.

90
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: They're just so multiple. There's so many different things that

91
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: they do from a front and from a blitz and

92
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: a coverage perspective that you can never really get a

93
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: beat on what they're doing. And as a former quarterback

94
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: like you don't just worry about coverage. You have to

95
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: worry about protecting yourself. And they have so many exotic

96
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: and funky blitzes that that you're you're you walk up

97
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: to the line of scrimmage and truthfully, you don't necessarily

98
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: even know what's happening, and that that causes some doubt

99
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: and that causes guys to play with some hesitancy, and

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: that's the opposite of what the Indiana defense does. They

101
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: fly around, so if you're even a bit hesitant, it

102
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: just makes it really really hard as an offense to

103
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: have any success. So I would just say that multiplicity

104
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: and the things that they uh they can do, and

105
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: coupled with the fact that they fly around, makes it

106
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: really really hard to score on them.

107
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Peyon Ramsey joining us here in the paylist lickers Hot

108
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: line talking about his old team, the Indiana Hoosiers, getting

109
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: ready for the National Championship game. I want to go

110
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: back and drill down a little bit more on what

111
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: you see in Fernando Mendoza when you watch him as

112
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback. One of the things that pop off the

113
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: tape or even just watching the game live to you

114
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: that you go, yeah, that dude's different.

115
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's his accuracy. For me. I mean, he

116
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: can throw, he can put the ball where he wants it,

117
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: and you hear it all the time, like there's no

118
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: there's no defense for a perfect throw. And if you

119
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: just I mean, you can go back throughout the course

120
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: of the season, but just just that last game against Oregon,

121
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: just some of the throws and the pinpoint accuracy that

122
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: he makes plays with, it's just, I mean, it's off

123
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: the charts. It's it's there's obviously a reason he won

124
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy, but I think that accuracy piece of

125
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: of what he brings is just I mean, it's it's

126
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: next level, it's NFL type talent. From an accuracy perspective.

127
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: He's the greatest QB sneaker in the history of college football.

128
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 5: He is Peyton Ramsey and he's you said football take that.

129
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: You're right, NFL films dial it up. We need it.

130
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: We need that old school music playing for Peyton Ramsey, Peyton,

131
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: what are you up to now days? I think Indiana

132
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: fan certainly enjoyed watching you there. You mentioned coaching the

133
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: Cincinnati area. What is life like for Peyton Ramsey?

134
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm a teacher and a coach here in Cincinnati.

135
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: My dad's a long time high school football coach at

136
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: Elder High School, all boys Catholic school on the west

137
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: side of town, so I help him out in the fall,

138
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: and then I teach at a public school here called

139
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: Sycamore High School, where I coach some freshmen basketball. So

140
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: we're in the middle of a freshman hoop season. And

141
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: then in the springtime kind of kicked my feet up

142
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: and relax a little bit. So just kind of enjoying

143
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: life here, me and my wife and enjoyed watching football

144
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: and watching the Hoosiers.

145
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: So Peyton, as the twenty eight year old teacher, do

146
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: you have to remind your students that I can still

147
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: do this, because, as you know, kids don't really care

148
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: about what you did yesteryear. So do you every now

149
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: and then you got to tell them, hey, I can

150
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: still you know, throw throw the football or put the

151
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: ball in the hoop.

152
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. There's I think there's a three on three.

153
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: There's a three on three basketball tournament coming up here.

154
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: And some of our like study flex periods here at school,

155
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: and myself and some of the other teachers will get

156
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: out there and and we'll hoop it up a little bit,

157
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: just so they know that that once upon a time

158
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: I had I had a little athleticism in me.

159
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Do you ever do that thing with wide receivers where

160
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: they're getting a little cocky, so you just zip one

161
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: in real quick to see if they can handle it.

162
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: Oh, all the time, all the time, and you got

163
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: to talk smack after it if they if they put

164
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: the ball on the turf. I love this.

165
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: I got one more, your great actually got two more.

166
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 5: Your greatest football memory in Bloomington and maybe the one

167
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: Bloomington establishment you miss the most.

168
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the greatest football moment's got to be got to

169
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: be that Purdue game in twenty nineteen. That quarterbacks neat

170
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: to win it down there right double at h We

171
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: kind of lewed them back into that one, but man,

172
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: just such a special moment. You know. Obviously I had

173
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: one more game after that there in Bloomington, but that

174
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: was one that that really, you know, resonates with me.

175
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: And then my favorite Bloomington establishment. I'm gonna be cheesy

176
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: and corny here. We frequent the Next all the time,

177

178
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,840

179
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: been back to Bloomington as much as I as much

180
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,520

Speaker 2: that I frequent it quite a bit more.

182
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: We talked to Trent Green and he gave us like

183
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: a dozen places that he would hang out all the time.

184
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Were there three or four that you guys would go

185
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: to or was it just that one.

186
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,520

187
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: of my head. I know we would go to Next

188
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,760

189
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,120
