Look no, I'm 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.599 making light of it. Right here. This is what happens 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.080 when you jack with stuff in here.

Greg Rakestraw joins us right now, Gregor, 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:55.760 are you going to be in for me this week? 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.920 Can you wait until I have a decision a little 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.040 bit later on? Are you want to came on Friday? 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.480 My agent has gotten a hold of me and said 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.479 that your agent is working on a day off for you, 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.720 but nothing has been confirmed at this time. 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:09.800 Well, I'll get back with you. I've got to ask 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.560 the my eighty year old agent, if this is going 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.319 to work, If that makes sense to you. 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.880 And if and if if, if you want to work 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.720 on Aldi or or you can't go check on mog live. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.480 But that's okay. I'll take the time with with with 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.680 my occagenarian mom and in laws as well. That's perfectly. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.400 I appreciate that man. Eddie Garrison just came in and 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.440 fixed the TV right behind me, the scathing Hey Greg, 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.560 look the scathing email. Got the job done? Wuld you 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.920 do do that? That was you? Oh boy? 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.520 In the zoom, I can see myself. I can't see 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.160 you the way that it's worked. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.160 Right, So what was I missing? Since I can see you? 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.880 Just make me making fun of a situation. That's it, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.520 which as usual around here. I do that all the time, correct, yea, 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.960 hey yeah. A couple of things too. Colts met with 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:03.360 the media. 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.000 Obviously you're going to be doing a lot of Colts 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.000 work the preseason games, the postgame shows, which you're going 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.680 to be a lot of added flair on all this too, 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.480 and I think everybody's going to absolutely love it. But 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.600 what did you think about the report? I mean, DeForest 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.320 Buckner was the good. We still kind of wonder about 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.080 the CJ. Allen situation. I don't know how many South 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.560 nerves Colts fans have regarding that Alec Pearce as well, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.639 and then the words of Chris Ballad anything stand out to. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.959 You, you know, to be honest with you, I've not 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.320 had a chance to hear Chris. I was not there today. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.160 I kind of start tomorrow. Normally, move in day is 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.160 the day that I can kind of skip and then 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.440 kind of show up for first day of practice and 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.840 watch it from there. Obviously, I know the transactions that 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.400 took place in terms of pup yesterday, and know about 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.600 the Forest Buckner news. Obviously the buck news is good. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.800 Ryan learning about Buckner in the course of the preseason. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.080 We'll know more about that when we see him on 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:01.120 September thirteenth. As far as CJ and Alec are concerned, 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.400 you know, we kind of knew that Alec Pierce is 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.079 probably up against the time wise in terms of being 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.760 ready for the start of the preseason. To be honest 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.200 with you, as long as he's ready for September the thirteenth, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.600 you know that he is going to be fine. CJ. 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.920 Allen is one you get nervous just because he needs 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.079 every rep possible. You know, when you're asking a rookie 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.200 to be the leader of your defense and be the 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.160 green dot guy, be the communications guy. Whatever time he 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.320 misses is a problem and sets him behind the eight ball. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.240 So the Butler news is great, the Pierce news is expected, 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.080 the Allen news, even if it's not long term, that's 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.360 still a setback for him. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.680 So Greg great Strass on the Andy Moore Auto Motive 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:44.080 Group potline, he is with us. So there's a lot 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.800 of conversation out there on and Chris Beller was asked 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.400 this question and said he didn't want an extension because 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.520 he has to win this year. I don't think there 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.320 was one offered to him because I would question the 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.360 decision not wanting to sign an extension if it will 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.520 offer to you, regardless of you know where you are 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.560 ten years in and the lack of results. But what 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.480 do you think, Mark wise, this team has to hit 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:15.000 to justify Chris Ballard's return or this organizational return in general. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.880 Greg right, I mean again, this needs to be a 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.120 playoff team. That's a side of progress. And I understand 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.320 that they are younger on defense. I understand you don't 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.680 have a Michael Pittman junior of Braden Smith on offense, 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.640 but when again, you've not been a playoff team since 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.200 twenty twenty. It's kind of a past fail class. Are 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.240 you going to make the playoffs or not? I don't 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.719 think it asked to me a division championship. He's certainly 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.720 nice to have the first one of those since twenty fourteen. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.880 But I think everything with this Colts organization is are 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.560 you a playoff team this year? I think it's I 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:54.200 think it's that cut and dry, simple right now, Well, I'll. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.480 Make it even more cut and dry. Does it not 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.800 depend on again, how you get there? We're about yesterday. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.160 The optics of the break yard four hundred. The optics 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.000 on TV look terrible. Yet for a NASCAR ray seventy 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.520 k is normally pretty good. 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:10.880 Right? 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.200 What about the optics or the way things look? The 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.720 way the Colts get to the postseason and what they 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.560 do if they do make it once they get there. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.560 We can judge that as we get to it. But 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.000 I still think it is simple. When you have not 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.599 made the playoffs in six years, it is simple did 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.599 you get there or not? Now again, we're talking about 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.520 being there at eight, nine, nine, and eight, whatever the 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.479 case may be, back in your way in I don't know, 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.960 but if you accomplish something in a positive light that 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.080 you haven't done in six years, to me, that tends 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.640 to check enough of a box for me. But I'm 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.720 not the one making the ultimate call. But again, I 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.680 think it's pretty did you make it or not? I 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.320 think that's where the conversation starts. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.200 As Greg Greg Straw, he's on the Andy More out of 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.279 Montive Group pibline Big Ten media Days going on in 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.520 Chicago right now, and I know that they're touting what 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:09.240 three consecutive national titles and loving every second of that 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.159 and probably putting that right to the SEC. But there 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.640 has been some significant landscape changing in head coaches in 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.120 the Big Ten. How do you think that ultimately has 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.480 an effect on the league this season? 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.920 You know, it's a good question. And obviously major turnover 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:33.520 and major question marks at Michigan and how that plays out, 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.599 we'll see. You know, Penn State cratered last year, so 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.400 they made their change in terms of during the course 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.839 of the season and going out and getting somebody you 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:47.200 know after that. You know, I think obviously Indiana and 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.360 rightfully so they're concern right now is Ohio State, and 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.040 that is the top of the league and Oregon right 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.159 behind that. So do I see anybody that make a 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.960 coaching change kind of affecting those Big three this year? 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:00.520 John? 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.560 Probably not. I think for Indiana it's more of all right, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.560 you know now that the James Madison guys are not 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.320 completely but largely gone. You hit a home run, you 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.880 hit a basis empty grand slam on Mendoza. Frankly, can 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.360 you do it again with Hoover? You know, last year 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.080 we almost thought there was gonna be a regression because 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.880 in our minds we couldn't wrap around the fact Indiana 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.880 can't be that good again for a second year, right, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.080 and they are actually better. So remember now, I'm like, Okay, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.640 this is seemingly pretty legit. This is what we expect 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.160 from Indiana as long as Kurt Signetti is there. So 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.000 if that's the case, and you really think that you're 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.680 a top strata team, then you're concerning yourself with the 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.960 other teams that seemingly are of a similar ilk, and 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.680 that would be Ohio State and Oregon. So our coaching 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.120 change is gonna happen every year. Yes, Are they gonna 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.800 affect the league? Yes, I'm not sure they get to 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.840 a point of effecting the Indiana Hoosiers at this point. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.760 Yeah, I I'm really interested to see, you know, obviously 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.480 the change that mission at a Penn State, the effect 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.520 they have. I think IU has what a stretch of 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.040 I know Nebraska and Michigan right in there too. That's 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.400 going to be a tough one for them. But we 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.800 know what the Hoosias are all about. But what about 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.360 Barry Otam and the boiler Makers? What would be the 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.680 expectations for you? And then what do they need to 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.720 do up there to solidify the choice they made a 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.880 head coach and try to do something about their chief 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:33.280 rival having all this success, and then everything else positively 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.560 that's going on around them, just not necessarily football wise, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.040 happening in West Lafayette. 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.240 You used to get the gift of time. You don't 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.520 have that now anymore period, let alone when Signette does 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.880 what he has done in Bloomington. I think going from 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.120 two wins to six is a heck of an ask 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.880 for Purdue. If maybe they just get to four or five, 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.360 I think you also, okay, that is progress made. Getting 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.520 the six wins and getting to a potential bowl game 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.600 would be phenomenal for Purdue. I do think that Barry 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:11.000 Odam's pretty solid coach. I do think you saw some progress, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.880 not as much would have wanted to last year with 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.480 that football team. So six might be a stretch. Four 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.680 or five wins you say, okay, progress made, then be 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.800 a bowl team in twenty twenty seven. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.960 It's a great, great straw with us. Before I'll let 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.600 you go, I'm curious your thoughts on the Big Ten. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.640 You know I mentioned they touted the three straight national 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.680 titles and then also in the last two years in 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.520 the bowl season eight and two against the SEC. Is 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.240 this a legitimate right now? The Big Ten has just 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.280 simply put a better league football wise than the SEC. 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.000 Absolutely it is now. Is it going to stay that 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.800 way this year or in the future Time will tell, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.600 But clearly in the age of NIL, I think the 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:02.360 Big Ten was better position was better prepared for that transition. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.080 That or it has leveled the playing field and allow 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.640 the Big Ten to catch up and or rocket forward. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.120 There is too much passion, there is too much money, 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.720 and there is too much talent available to SEC schools 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.160 for this to be a death knell of that league 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.959 and stay behind the Big Ten forever and clearly, to 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.640 paraphrase this show as we saw from SEC media days 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.640 there is a butt herdedness, yes about where they stand 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.439 in comparison to the Big ten right now. So if 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:37.440 I'm the Big ten, I'm flaunting that too. But SEC 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.880 will have their day. They're going to bounce back at 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.360 some point in time, and clearly because of our conference 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.040 schedules and head to head matchups play, we probably won't 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:48.960 have a better idea as to exactly how those two 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.240 leagues stack up against each other until we get to 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:52.400 the middle or end of December. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.000 By the way, well done with the brickyard work this weekend, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:57.240 Oh thank you. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.000 I appreciate that. So let's see three and a half 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:07.160 hours on Saturday and three hours on Sunday, So a 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.080 full week for me at the brickyard.

You know, he's got a 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.880 good head on his shoulders. But uh, there's there's only 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.120 one person. Let's keep this in mind. There's only one 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.040 person that ever got you, Adam Sandler, and it was 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.360 the it was the very first. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.200 Time you talked to Adam Sandler. Right, so there will 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.200 only be one radio row. 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.359 At the super Bowl where we knocked it out of 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.200 the park. So just keep that in mind. Caleb, you 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:56.920 got big shoes. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.800 I'm gonna try to find a contact right now. Matt 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.680 so well, Madigan. Matt also had to do that because 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.119 I got this black bald from ESPN Personalities. If you 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:09.480 remember on radio. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.639 That made it really easy. I'm not gonna lie. That 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.720 made it great. That was really easy to do that 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:15.080 for two and a half years. 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.119 I remember, man, this is a true story. We had 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.560 promotions people and they were helping out ESPN in what 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.240 was Pan am Plaza back then, and they were in 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.320 line and they were in front of Scott Van Pelt 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.159 and he was talking to Ryan Rossillo and Rosillo said, Hey, 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:32.880 are you going to go on with the local show 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.000 JMV this afternoon, And Van Pelt said, we had to 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.040 direct it for management. We're not allowed to go on 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.560 with him this week. Yeah, So it was all about 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.600 the Adam Schefter thing. So you had to navigate through 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.280 the waters of me being black baled from ESPN because 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.720 of what I said about Adam Schefter. Yeah. 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:50.520 Yeah, and I'm. 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.880 Pretty sure, like you know, that same week where we're 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.919 trying to get guests on, I think it was Radio 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.520 Row the Super Bowl, like you know, Greenberg and Golik. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.399 They were doing their car washing and going on all. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.679 Of the ESPN affiliates that were on Radio Row across 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.600 the country, and they would walk by us and I 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.600 think I overheard one of them say, yet, we're not 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:10.520 allowed to do that one. 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.680 Keep moving, that's what we don't have to We don't 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:14.440 have to do that one. 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.840 So we'll just go from our three o'clock straight to 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.160 the three thirty and skip to three fifteen because we're 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:20.240 not doing that one anymore. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.119 Well, I had to do a do a lot of 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.280 meetings leading up to that, and I don't like a 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:28.440 lot of meetings that was Yeah, I did that all 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.760 to myself right there, but you and you did get 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.440 me Adam Sandler, and if you remember, he was awesome. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.680 He was absolutely awesome on. 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.879 The show and we still I mean, I think he 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:39.840 was saying it in jest, but with him, you never 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:43.239 really know for sure, like is he being serious or not, 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.520 Like there was like a shadow of a doubt because 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.960 remember he invited us. He probably invited more so you 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.399 than me, But I think I was kind of lumped 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.439 in there because I was standing right there when he 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:53.720 did it. 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.280 But remember he invited us. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.240 With his cast or crew, like you know, his guys, 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.120 if you will, to play basketball ball the next day 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.679 at well back then it was Conseco. And I remember 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.160
