1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Good morning, and last time I checked, the Idiana Hoosiers

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: are still the national champions of.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: College football in twenty twenty five.

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, James Boyd, Kevin Bowen, Mark Dyketon.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Has it hit you yet? Did it sink in? Does

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: it feel.

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Real now that Indiana is on top of the college

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: football world?

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 3: I don't know if it ever will feel real when

10
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: you put it into those terms. So I guess we

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: got a little celebration coming up on Saturday down in Bloomington,

12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: And honestly, with the state of the basketball program, the

13
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: next question probably wins the spring football game.

14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: I bet it'll be well attended this year. What do

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: you think?

16
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: I do think that's a good assumption. I will say

17
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: the reward, I guess for having so much success that

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 4: you get a shorter offseason. When we talked about this

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 4: with the Pacers, it was like, wait, a second game

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 4: seven was how long ago? And I'll see it starting

21
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 4: up again. That is exactly what the Hoosiers will go to.

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: But it's a good feeling to have when you host

23
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: a hoist up the national championship trophy.

24
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Man, I would imagine it's a pretty good feeling to

25
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: do that. I was showing stuff to my wife yesterday.

26
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: We were looking through social media so kind of go

27
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: through all that stuff, and again we're kind of we

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: became I You football fans probably eight.

29
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: Nine years ago and really latched on to it.

30
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: I suppose last year and then this year we went

31
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: to a game and have had a good time. But

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm still so happy for all of the people that

33
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: we've met and have socialized with and have gotten to

34
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: know and become friends with that this is what they

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: have done for life. My good friend Jeff Martindale, who

36
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: is our ESPN radio affiliate in Bristol, is a Hoosier

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: and went.

38
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: To Indiana and grew up in Indiana, and.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: He went to the game and had some amazing times

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: and sent some pictures to me. People like that, the

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: joy that they feel. It's so much fun to have

42
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: people you know, like and care about feeling so good

43
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: about something. It's just I know you see that all

44
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: the time in your family.

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely married into a big I You family.

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't I actually say an IU football family that

47
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: could name players before you know, two or three years ago.

48
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean, you know, when you think.

49
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: About our market or our area, you know, we had

50
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: been on a run where you know, they're bench championship games, but.

51
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 5: Not often all the way to the mountaintop.

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: Whether you want to look at Notre Dame last year,

53
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: whether you want to look at Purdue a couple of

54
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: years ago.

55
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: Obviously the Pacers in Game seven.

56
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: You know, I guess you got to go back to

57
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: the fever maybe or their title, which was what you know,

58
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: over a decade ago to that point. So yeah, to

59
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: just watch this year, joy and I thought one of

60
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: the coolest scenes from yesterday was amidst you know, probably

61
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: the coldest temps we've had all year. You see people

62
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: lining those you know, bridges on the way down sixty

63
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: nine as the Indiana contingent was making their trek back

64
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: from Indianapolis International Airport, And you know what that scene

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: will look like inside a Memorial Stadium on Saturday. It

66
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: doesn't sound like maybe an outright parade per se, but

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: you know some gallery. Yes, I like function of a

68
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: walk into this and then I believe it's a half

69
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: hour ceremony once they're in there. So yeah, that's the

70
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 3: part of sports that you know, you don't get to

71
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: experience very very often.

72
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 5: But when you do. Just the sheer joy and jubilation

73
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 5: of it speaks for itself.

74
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll give you all the details as far as

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: all the stuff that we know about that celebration at

76
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Memorial Saturday afternoon at one in a few minutes. But James,

77
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: the other thing it's been crazy to me is we

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: were looking through things yesterday and looking at pictures and

79
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: photos that people we know had posted online or whatever.

80
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: It's still crazy to me online how many.

81
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: People out there and I don't know if they have

82
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: credentials or not, they're just fans or it doesn't really matter

83
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: all day those people like well, yeah, but you know

84
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: this thing about the average age of the Indiana player

85
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: or it's now in the new age of nil, it

86
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: was a watered downfield and they're not facing the titans

87
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: that they used to face. I'm thinking there are people

88
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: that will twist themselves in knots to not give credit

89
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: to a team that just went sixteen and oho and

90
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: beat five top ten teams along the way.

91
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: We got to get your new algorithm. I don't know

92
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: what's going on.

93
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: I feel like whenever I'll get on my social media,

94
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: there's nothing but credit being given to IU.

95
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: But anybody trying to discredit it. I mean, who cares.

96
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: Trash talk is the best because you can talk it

97
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: and then when you win, you can talk it forever.

98
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: So Lord knows he could not main me a national

99
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: champion because I would be the least humble person on

100
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: the planet. But it was fun to watch it, and

101
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: I think again, just knowing all it took, looking back

102
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: at the journey, I mean I had to go back

103
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: Kevin first game of the year, first snap of the year.

104
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: I believe they gave up a long touch on an

105
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: old dominion and if you think back to that play,

106
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 4: at that moment, you're probably thinking, oh boy, here's another

107
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: IU team who's gonna disappoint you. And so you go

108
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: back to their first player of the year getting up

109
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: a touchdown to a team that is you know nothing

110
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: when it comes to the actual hierarchy of the Cosotball

111
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: playoffs standing. And then you get to the last play,

112
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: last game of the year, and it's fandom men Doza

113
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: just basically kneeling down and win a national championship. So my,

114
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: how things have changed, how the perception has changed. But

115
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: as I said yesterday, I don't want to be the

116
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: person that says, oh, you're next up to another program.

117
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: That is not necessarily true in my eyes, because I

118
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: think it discredits everything that cursing that he has done

119
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: down there. How great of a player random Mendoza is,

120
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: and how great these other players are as well that

121
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 4: were overlooked previously.

122
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: I did see somebody made an AI bronze statue of

123
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Mendoza diving into the end zone with players hanging on

124
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: and around, and then super imposed it in front of

125
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: Memorial Stadium.

126
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: Maybe we got something like that someday, Kevin who knows.

127
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw people switch up the heisman. Instead of

128
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: the pose, you make it the dive that he had

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: there on fourth and five. So again, it sounds like

130
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon, you'll have a celebration inside of a Memorial Stadium.

131
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: I believe it's also going to air on Big ten network.

132
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

133
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 3: Tempts don't look a ball me by any means down

134
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: there in bloom Me ten.

135
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: And it's till thirty minutes, and yeah, that's that's about

136
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: long enough, right.

137
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 5: That seems about the right time.

138
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: At some point today, I do want to get into,

139
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: you know comment we saw from Kurtz Signetti yesterday I

140
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: think explained so much of.

141
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: You know, if you're gonna be really honest about this.

142
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: Tom Allen had a lot of those comments walking out

143
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: of Bloomington a few years ago, and I think, you know,

144
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: maybe it took an administrative change for people to finally listen,

145
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: finally embrace. But I thought Kurtzygnety had some interesting comments

146
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: about that. He's actually in Houston today. He's collecting one

147
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: of his teenth Coach of the Year awards there. Back

148
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: in Bloomington coming up on Thursday for him.

149
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: A lot going on.

150
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: We has a bunch of college basketball last night. The

151
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: void never stays the void, does it change? In this

152
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: day and age. We're just onto the next all the time.

153
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: There's something going on every single second. I was okay

154
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: with that, by the way, Well I'm mad at it,

155
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: but it just keeps the wheels, just keep on rolling.

156
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 5: Man, that's our life.

157
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: But I will say I think there are plenty of

158
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: Hoosiers fans who are enjoying this, enjoy this for a

159
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: long time, not saying that you'll forget about it, but

160
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: eventually you'll get back to regular normal life and perhaps

161
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: a repeat when it comes to the Hoosiers but for

162
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: now this week, I would imagine people are still riding

163
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: high about that team in that program down in Bloomington.

164
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun.

165
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: If I were an apparel manufacturer that the kind of

166
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: makes hats, jerseys, T shirts, whatever, this is probably a

167
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: pretty good time to recognize that Indiana is the largest

168
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: alumni base in the world at over eight hundred thousand.

169
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: You might be able to sell some caps and T

170
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: shirts along the way.

171
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: I would think, Yeah, I'm.

172
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: Sure there are some unlicensed cookies being baked in some

173
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: shop somewhere, but who cares. Man, The vibes are good,

174
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: And I will add again to Kevin's point, you look

175
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: at what this team has kind of been through and

176
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: how they've kind of stacked days together. I think you

177
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: look at the process that kersing Eddy has had. It

178
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: is very impressive to see what he's built. And it's

179
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 4: kind of funny to also hear him say he took

180
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: yesterday off and I guess he's back at it today.

181
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: So you talk about not getting a break, Jeff. In reality,

182
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: we want to joke about it, but he probably really can't.

183
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: You have to hit the transfer portal, you have to

184
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: sinue to build your roster, get ready for your spring schedule,

185
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: all these things. But those are good problems to have

186
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: as opposed to what we had in the past. Just recently,

187
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: with IU being the quote unquote losing his program in

188
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: collegetball history, I guess that's changed a lot.

189
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, Kevin.

190
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody we could meet in a parking

191
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: lot or anything like that to get a special discount

192
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: on the hats, T shirts and anything like that?

193
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: Promise I would not reveal his or her identity when

194
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: that happened, But.

195
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: But you do know a guy no snitching, baby, no snitcher?

196
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 6: Right?

197
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: KB? What happens to snitches? James? Hey, stitches right? I'm

198
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: just how that works.

199
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 5: I don't know. I ain't never snitched before.

200
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: That's good to know too. Good morning, Mark Dyketon, Good morning.

201
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: How are we deing with the the Chicago Bears kind of?

202
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: Did you just push that to the back and just

203
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: focusing on Indiana this week or where you're at?

204
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 7: I mean, still, you know, great season and all that stuff.

205
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 7: Disappointing finish, but optimistic for the future. And then obviously

206
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 7: IU is the front page news there, so very excited

207
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 7: for them. And then all that, and man, if you're

208
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 7: an IU and a Bears fan, you had a heck

209
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 7: of a fall in a winter, so good run, There.

210
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: No question about that. It's isn't it crazy?

211
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 6: Though?

212
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: Guys?

213
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: How one team can lose in overtime and their fans

214
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: are excited for the future and they can't wait to

215
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: get back to work and everybody's patting them on the back,

216
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: And another team loses in overtime and the coach gets

217
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: fired and they're wondering, do we really have our franchise quarterback?

218
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Buffalo Bills versus the Chicago Bears.

219
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: Perception is a crazy, crazy thing, is it not?

220
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: Do we really have our franchise quarterback? I think they

221
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 4: have that guy, just do you have the right pieces

222
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 4: around them? But yeah, it's a tough league. But I

223
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: never feel too bad for those coaches because they're not

224
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: going and getting in an unemployment line. The money's guaranteed, so

225
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 4: they'll get that money and probably you know, some more

226
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: when they get hired somewhere else.

227
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: This is crazy to me, Kevin, How two teams going

228
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: to have the exact same fate and there's just such

229
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: a difference in how it's viewed. Obviously, the Bill's been

230
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: knocking on the door and they're waiting to break through,

231
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: and everybody thinks that they have this championship window. And

232
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: the Bears, coming from where they've been the last decade

233
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: or so, they look like they've got their guy at quarterback,

234
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: they like their new head coach, They're all excited about

235
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: the fut It's just funny how things up and flow.

236
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, honestly, I feel that way about our

237
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: own market and reaction to Indiana fans reacting to Monday night,

238
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: particularly if they had lost, versus how we might see

239
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: Purdue basketball fans react in two and a half months

240
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: if they get all the way to that game and

241
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: not get it done. You know, just given the history

242
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: of those two programs, they are of the oh my gosh,

243
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 3: I can't believe this is happening, to the other end

244
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: of it of a sports fan of oh my gosh,

245
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: we're never going to get it done. You know, that's

246
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: just kind of how again, histories, you know, paint so

247
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: much of those pictures should mintioned. For those that did

248
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: not stay up last night, Perdue lost out in poly

249
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: Pavilion to UCLA. UCLA hits A three with six seconds

250
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: to go to beat Purdue by two. There I watched

251
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: about the first ten or fifteen minutes of that Due

252
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: built a big, big lead, their bench was outstanding. They

253
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: were actually up six with ninety seconds to go, and

254
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: then Ucla made all the plays. Couple of uncharacteristic turnovers

255
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: for Purdue there CJ. Cox missed. I'd call it a

256
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: halfway decent look there at the buzzer. So the West

257
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: Coast has not been super kind to Big ten teams,

258
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: and they've gone out there perdue. Had you know, two

259
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: really game you know pressure moments at USC on Saturday

260
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: and Ucla and they get a.

261
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 5: Split in that one.

262
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: And then of.

263
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: Course Indiana last night up in ann Arbor, and that

264
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 3: game was over before the first media time out.

265
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: All right, we'll give you all the details on all

266
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: those games and more as we cut the checkdown.

267
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: Coming up in just another one shout out yeah, and

268
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: we'll get to that as well.

269

Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of them as we continue in

270
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: ninety three, five and seven.

271
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,320

279
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: The gates themselves open at eleven thirty. They're talking Kevin

280
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: about maybe a thirty minute ceremony of some type because

281
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be really really cold out there.

282
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see how they do this.

283
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's some walk, right there's a walk to

284
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: the rock before that? Is that a I saw that,

285
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: like the equivalent of the player walk?

286
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: Is that what that is?

287
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: I saw that sentence, but I'm not sure exactly sure

288
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: what that is. Is that the kind of thing where

289
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: the players can walk and fans would be on either

290
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: side of them or they follow him.

291
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. We'll get more details as the day

292
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: goes flow.

293
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 5: Frando Mendoza anywhere.

294
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: There you go.

295
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I saw a great video of him yesterday after he

296
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: got done with all the interviews and back in the

297
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: locker room and coming back out, he ran into the

298
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: band and the cheerleading squad outside the little concourse there

299
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: in the basement of the stadium, and he just started

300
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: high five and all of them you would think that

301
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: they had just seen, you know, Michael Jackson walk through there.

302
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: They were melting down. He was the man, James, he is.

303
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 5: He's a legend forever.

304
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: So shouts out to that young man and next up,

305
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 4: what is it, fifty million dollars guaranteed his number.

306
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 5: One pick with the Raider. Let's get bad life.

307
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: Let's go younger brother Alberto Mendoza in the transfer portal.

308
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Now he's likely headed to Georgia Tech.

309
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: The Hoosiers, of course, have signed former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover,

310
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: who was amongst the leaders in the nation and quarterback

311
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: play last year. In case you're wondering when Alberto Mendoza

312
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: did get a chance to get in games this year,

313
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty four, two hundred and eighty six yards,

314
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: five touchdowns to one interception.

315
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 5: He isn't that bad, not too shabby at all.

316
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: So that's the latest on Indiana football as they get

317
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: right back to work, and in some ways, Kevin, you know,

318
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: I know that you balance everything you do what you do,

319
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: but that long championship run can't help but put them

320
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: a little bit behind in some administrative things, and such

321
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: as Kurtz Signetta gets ready to try and reload for

322
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: next year.

323
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: Well worth it.

324
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would take that trade at any time. College basketball.

325
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Last night, Ucla on the road, Purdue on the road

326
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: at UCLA and as you munch in a moment ago,

327
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Bruin scored the final eight points of the game.

328
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: They win at sixty nine to sixty seven. Of note,

329
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: though UCLA was honoring John Wooden last night, he of

330
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: course coached the Bruins to ten NCAA titles, and back

331
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty two, James he was the National Player

332
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: of the Year at Purdue. Matt Painter talking about that

333
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: sometimes his performance as a player gets lost in all

334
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: the great things he did as a college basketball coach.

335
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: So that out John Wooden and Indiana native by the way, yep.

336
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Also, they will host Illinois Saturday at three pm.

337
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: Any chance that you might go up and watch that one,

338
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: so you're.

339
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 4: Relying on yeah, I think if I, you know, get

340
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: a ticket through somebody else, that might be an option.

341
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: All right, d Also last night, Butler gets to win

342
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: their second in a row. They beat to Paul eighty

343
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: seven to eighty Finley Bizjack scored twenty four points. Michael

344
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: Lajai was sick but still battled through it. Scored seventeen

345
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: points to do that. The Bulldogs KB have won two

346
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: games in a row, so maybe this is their chance

347
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: to get a little run going here.

348
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta hold serve this week. They'll check her it

349
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: out coming up on Friday. Inside of there they always

350
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: do kind of a little ndy five hundred theme to

351
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: that mark. How about we reward somebody early on this

352
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: chilly morning if you like to go to Butler Marquette

353
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: coming up on Friday night, eight o'clock tip inside of Hinkle,

354
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: give us a call. We won seven, two, three, nine,

355
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: ten seventy. But yeah, got a hold serve at home

356
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: this week to Paul and Marquette home games. Marquette is

357
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: not typical Marquette there and I thought, another nice game

358
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: for stink Robinson and he's really got a lot on

359
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 3: his plate right now with the injury to Jalen Jackson.

360
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: So Butler needs to continue to do this at home.

361
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: Still get a couple more to build that resume.

362
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: All right, It's also last night Michigan defeated Indiana eighty

363
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: six to seventy two. Elliott Goudou had nineteen points for

364
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: the Wolverines. They led by as many as seventeen in

365
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: the first half. Indiana konacap battling but really never threatened Michigan.

366
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: They will play at Rutgers on Friday night. It's just

367
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: been kind of a rough, rough go in some ways,

368
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: although you don't expect them. I supposed to win against

369
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: Michigan in that environment, but they need to get some

370
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: Quad one wins at some point.

371
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 5: Kevin harder to explain.

372
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: I use football's last two years or Indiana basketball's last

373
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: twenty years.

374
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,359
Speaker 2: Still the football.

375
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: Harder to explain. I would argue it's easier to explain

376
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: the football than it is. I m football twenty maybe

377
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: years of it.

378
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: It's rough whatever it is. But again, Hoosiers play at

379
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: Rutgers on Friday night.

380
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: Some high school basketball.

381
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 4: You went to a game last night, James, Yeah, first

383
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 4: got the dub sixty five sixty two. And I believe

384
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 4: the kid's name is Noah Smith. For playing field star

385
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: player at twenty nine points. Very good player, he can

386
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: shoot the rock for really ducked on a kid last

387
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:13,640

Speaker 3: He will join us coming up at nine o'clock, so

474
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: looking forward to chatting with him. But yes, this is

475
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: our running back from.

476
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: The illegal screen, Illegal screen screen game.

477
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: We should we should play that throughout the morning, illegal screen,

478
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: illegal screen, But no, last time, the Celtics did not

479
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: just overrun the Indiana Pacers. And I think it's remarkable that, yes,

480
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: they've had their blowouts, we saw the game against Detroit

481
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: and things like that. But as Patchwork has this been,

482
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: this team has been, and Patchwork is even optimistic at times, James,

483
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: they keep fighting and they've won four games over the

484
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: last several weeks here a couple of weeks.

485
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 5: Well, well you put it like that, duns down through promising.

486
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bitter streak there for a minute.

487
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's hard for me to say, Yes, they've

488
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 4: they fought, they've tried, but it's been a pretty down

489
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 4: season for the Pacers, and that's the reality of a situation.

490
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: And they go into a Boston Arena or TD Garden

491
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: tonight facing a Boston team that's been surprisingly very good

492
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: without their top guy and Jason Tatum, we're coming from

493
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: achilles tear as well.

494
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, the achilles just has been the injury of

495
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: sports over the last couple of years. Not just the

496
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: things that we've seen here with Daniel Jones and Tyreese Holliburton,

497
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: but it feels like achilles injuries are just popping up everywhere. Kevin,

498
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember in all the years that I've been

499
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: covering sports a concentration of Achilles' injuries over the last

500
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: two three four years like we've seen lately.

501
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown will play tonight. He did not play in

502
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: last week's game. Again, low scoring game. That was that

503
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 3: super low foul game. Siakam hit the you know, of

504
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 3: course bank shot there and we had the infamous Joe

505
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: miszoua press conference afterwards, and Rick Carlisle sharing his thoughts

506
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: with us that next day, Mark, if we could, let's

507
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: cue up that Kurtzignetti clip from yesterday. You know, one

508
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: of the points I tried to make yesterday was Kurtzignetti

509
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: is a wonderful, brilliant X's and O's coach. Clearly, the

510
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: internal development of players on their roster is through the roof.

511
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: But I think right up there, if not higher, is just, frankly,

512
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 3: his ability to recognize the massive mindset shift that was

513
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: absolutely needed in Bloomington, and Signetti I thought really expanded

514
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 3: on that yesterday. You know, this is actually a question

515
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: for those that weren't falling along. They do this the

516
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: morning after we see it with the Super Bowl. We

517
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: see it also with the college football National Championship game.

518
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 3: Him I believe it was Michel Kamara for Nando Mendoza,

519
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: Aiden Fisher, I think Pat Coogan. Those we are the

520
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: five that met the media yesterday morning, and the question

521
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: was asked specifically to the players, but Signetti felt the

522
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: need or wanted to interject, and he had this to

523
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: say about Indiana and the mindset to the question the players.

524
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 9: Just answered about Indiana.

525
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 2: I think that's called a paradigm shift.

526
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 9: You know, it's kind of like people can claim to

527
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 9: an old way of thinking, chategorizing teams as this or that,

528
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 9: conferences as this or that, where.

529
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: They can adjust to the new world the shift of

530
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: the power.

531
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 9: Mountain college football is today. So you know, I think

532
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 9: to look back at what happened to Indiana previous to

533
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 9: us coming ten twenty fifty years ago, strictly lacked the

534
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 9: commitment from the tall that's a playing some nothing else,

535
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 9: And we have a commitment.

536
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 5: Okay.

537
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 9: And the other thing I'd like to say also is this,

538
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 9: this team went all the way. This was chapter two

539
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 9: in the book, okay, and very close team, special team.

540
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 9: The first team never got the national credit is due

541
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 9: because of the controversy over the playoffs, the way we

542
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 9: play in the last two and a half quarters against the.

543
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: High State and not so again that with Signetti yesterday.

544
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: And I think this goes back to again a little

545
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: bit of a conversation that we had of you know,

546
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: not till disparage Michael McRobbie as a university president, but

547
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: his background was literally Australia. I don't think the presence

548
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: of college football is very relevant to the education base

549
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: of Australian colleges.

550
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: Frankly, Pam wyn Under.

551
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe if we played I don't know,

552
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: is it rugby? What would be the Australian football. Let's

553
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: go Australian rules football. You know, maybe Indiana would have

554
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: a world class program in that Pam Witten, new president,

555
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: spent five.

556
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: Years at Georgia.

557
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: You think she saw what proper college football can do

558
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: for an entire university. And you know, to be honest, guys,

559
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: Tom Allen made a lot of these comments on his

560
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: way out. Remember Tom Allen's statement when he got fired.

561
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 3: I mean he made sure not to just think whatever

562
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: everybody for the opportunity. He made sure to say if

563
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: Indiana wants to get serious about being at the adult

564
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: table of college football.

565
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 5: You need a commitment from a me.

566
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: And you know, you think about the two coaches prior

567
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: to Kurt Signetti, Tom Allen, who had spent time in

568
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 3: the SEC, and Kevin Wilson, who had spent a long

569
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: time at Oklahoma. You know, those two guys had come

570
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: from big time college football.

571
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 5: Now they were also first time head coaches.

572
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they necessarily had the clout

573
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 3: to walk into the university, sit at the table and

574
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 3: say we're doing this the wrong way.

575
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 5: And maybe it just took multiple swings and misses.

576
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: Again from a whatever new head coach standpoint, for Kurt

577
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: Signette to finally have those ears, or maybe it took

578
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: Scott Dolson's.

579
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 5: Presence or Pam Witten's presence to have those ears.

580
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: But I just think it's a point that shouldn't get

581
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: lost in the Kurt Signetti turnaround. Of a lot of

582
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: it is university mindset that needed to have a commitment.

583
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 3: In credit to Signetti for going to the nth degree

584
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 3: to make sure everybody in Bloomington heard his voice loud

585
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: and clear those first twenty four to forty eight hours

586
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 3: in the job.

587
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: He didn't hold back. I hear that response yesterday, Kevin.

588
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: Listening to it back here on these airwaves, it almost

589
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: makes it seem as if Kurt Signetti is still selling something.

590
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying he's out here, you know, trying

591
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: to give away T shirts before a Pacers game or

592
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: something like that. Probably a little bit easier, we probably

593
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 4: got a little bit of higher standing, you know, better

594
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 4: storefront or whatever. But when you said it's paradigm shift,

595
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 4: I think you can sell it easier now because you're

596
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 4: sitting there as a national champion. Now the question becomes

597
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: how many kids can we get to stay home? There's

598
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: always talent here. I mean I see it on a

599
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 4: yearly basis. And I'm not talking about kids going to

600
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 4: no respect any school, but you know FCS programs or

601
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 4: the you know Group of five programs. No, there's powerful

602
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: talent here in the state. And we're not We're no

603
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 4: longer selling you on what could be. We're selling you

604
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: on what is. You want to be announced champion? Come

605
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: here we are. You want to get developed to go

606
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: to the NFL all right beyond for them? And I

607
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: was going through actually some colts draft stuff yesterday and

608
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 4: for the story out this morning about draft targets, and

609
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: feel pretty yell at me because I know people don

610
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 4: want to hear about the Colts. But one of the

611
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: players I thought about at the potential target for Indy

612
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 4: is Elijah Sharatt. I was thinking to myself, if Michael

613
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: Paman Junior isn't retained, you need know the receiver second

614
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 4: or third round.

615
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're.

616
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: In the market, would you not go after that guy

617
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 4: if you want to, you know, get somebody who's won,

618
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: played at a high level, was productive in college, got

619
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 4: coached well. So all those things I think translate to

620
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: why you can sell that program a lot easier than before.

621
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: So it's very exciting to kind of approach it like that.

622
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 4: But at the same time you could tell the dude

623
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: is just not satisfied. I love how you just grabbed

624
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 4: the question from someone else. You know, he's like, wait

625
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: a second, let me get in here and again sell

626
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: my program and explain why this is happening.

627
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think Kevin, you make an unbelievable point.

628
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: You talk about the background at Georgia for the new

629
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: school president. You talk about Scott Dolson, you talk about

630
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: bringing in Kurt Signetti, and then you talk about what

631
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti did the moment he got here in that

632
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: when he was introduced at that basketball game, it was

633
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: about we say this all the time, and which one

634
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: of the teams was like, we're about alignment.

635
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: It's all about alignment. You hear that in sports all

636
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: the time.

637
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: I hear that in press conferences whenever new head coaches

638
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: get hired by it.

639
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: Netty's the one that study.

640
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: He said it on the Big Ten Conference championship celebation.

641
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: When you get the school president, the athletic director, the

642
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: head football coach, and the fan base aligned, and Signetti

643
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: aligned that fan base announcing his presence and yeah, I

644
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: know people chuckled at it at the time and go, okay,

645
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: yeah whatever, but he brought them.

646
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: Along, he got them on board.

647
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: Now you have total alignment in that program from the

648
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: president's office. This is what it takes to get serious

649
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: and compete. The alumni are now in alignment. When you

650
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: hear about all the donations that have started to come

651
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, and I'm sure that'll

652
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: climb as well.

653
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: When you have the alumni.

654
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: Base, the president, the athletic director, the head football coach,

655
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: and the fan base all in perfect alignment, you get

656
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: a national championship, apparently, because I don't think all that

657
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: many programs are in alignment, or there's maybe ten or

658
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: twelve every year that are, and those are the ones

659
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: that have a chance to win.

660
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: And I think we will look back, or we should

661
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: look back on the first twenty four hours in the

662
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: job for him and just never lose sight of what

663
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: he did, because in multiple instances, he did things that

664
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: all of a sudden made people around the country be like, what,

665
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: who the hell is this IU coach?

666
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 5: Kurt Signetti? Is it with a K or C? What

667
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 5: is this guy's background?

668
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 6: Like?

669
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: Who does he think he is saying all this stuff?

670
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 5: And he did the Google me that was one.

671
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: He grabbed the mic at the basketball game and did

672
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: the produced sucks and Michigan sucks and how to say sucks.

673
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: And then he also went to the Big Ten Championship

674
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: here half mile down the road and got on the

675
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: set there and said, yeah, I figured we'll be in

676
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: this game next year, so I thought I might as

677
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 3: well show up and see what it's all about.

678
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

679
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: On three different occasions he went WWE promoter to the

680
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: nth degree. And again what it did was I think

681
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 3: it all of a sudden perked everybody's ears up inside

682
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: of that program Athletic Department University. But also, I can't

683
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: tell you how many whatever IU friends of mine that

684
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: last year during the summer said, huh, I'm kind of

685
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: looking forward to the start of this football season. His

686
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: coach is kind of crazy. I want to see what

687
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: it's all about. Not you know, I think Curtis Rourke

688
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: is going to be a hidden gym or not that.

689
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: Hey man, all these JMU guys, I've been watching film

690
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: on them and they're really good, and they're and they're

691
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of sleepers. It was more of like we

692
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: I haven't heard a dude talk like that ever about

693
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: IU football.

694
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 5: Right now.

695
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: I want to see if he can walk. And that

696
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: man has strutted all the way to the top of

697
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: the mountain.

698
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: Let's say, walk, man walking on water like Jesus after

699
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: what he did with Indiana. You know, I'll take your church, KB.

700
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: You know you're welcome to come.

701
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 5: Brother.

702
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: Bring up Michael Jackson earlier, moonwalking all the way.

703
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: I do want to throw this out there though, And

704
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 4: I was reading about this over the weekend. This was

705
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 4: before the National champion Ship, and Kurt Signetti was I

706
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: think somebody might have asked him about being an NFL coach,

707
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: and he said that wasn't his thing. And the quote

708
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 4: here that he gave was, I'm not an NFL guy.

709
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: I've made that decision a long time ago. My question

710
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: is do you believe him, because I actually tend to

711
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: do that.

712
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: I know some.

713
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: Coaches say those things and you look up in two years.

714
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: I know Marcus Freeman was, I believe it acts the

715
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: same thing, and he was.

716
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 5: Like, well, you know, he did not answer that in

717
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 5: that way.

718
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 4: Never say never. The future is what it is, and

719
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 4: we're focused on the here and now. But Kurt Signetti,

720
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: I think part of him is like, well, I'll go

721
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: where I was given an opportunity and where I was loved.

722
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: I'll stay where I was loved before anybody else kind

723
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 4: of knew who I was and hype me up because

724
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 4: now I would venture to say there are a few

725
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: NFL teams that will welcome him to their franchise. But

726
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: it's almost like, well, nope, too late, I have my

727
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 4: opportunity to hear. And he did say he had an

728
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: opportunity years ago to jump to the NFL ranks and

729
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: decided not to.

730
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 5: Do it, and as an assistant exactly.

731
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, to be to be where he is now,

732
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: I don't see if he's content with being a college

733
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: football coach. A better program out there. The times have changed.

734
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: There is no more let's jump to the Alabamas of

735
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: the world, the Georgia of the world. If you have

736
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 4: an alumni base like IU and the money to back

737
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 4: it up, why not stay where you're at and keep winning.

738
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other thing is he's getting paid pretty

739
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: well now too.

740
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: He got the two million.

741
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: Dollar bonus for winning the national championship, and because he

742
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: did that, I believe it triggers a clause KB that

743
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: he now has to have at least the average of

744
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: the top three highest paid coaches in the country that

745
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: they can figure out.

746
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: So I think his base just.

747
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: Went up to about twelve than a half million, And

748
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: that's before you get to bonuses for winning conferences and

749
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: winning this round of the playoffs and winning that round

750
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and.

751
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: All those kinds of things.

752
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: He's getting paid pretty close to what NFL coaches get paid,

753
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: probably more than a few NFL coaches at this point.

754
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean money is not going to be the draw.

755
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 5: I think is more just a desire, right, it's going

756
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 5: to be.

757
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 3: Hey, I just accomplished arguably, probably not arguably the greatest

758
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: thing in college football history. Do I want to now

759
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: try and do it at the NFL level? James, to

760
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 3: your point, I agree wholehearted Luther. You he does not

761
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: strike me as a dude that's just going to do

762
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: or that's a massive goal of his or I don't know,

763
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: as crazy as it sounds, what if he wins another

764
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 3: in the next two to three years. You know, with that,

765
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: all of a sudden shift is thinking here. But you know,

766
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: one thing to point out, I get the you know

767
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: yesterday he saw their strength coaches going to Tennessee, and

768
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: you know, naturally you're going to have some portal guys

769
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 3: Alberta Mendoza of course, but their ability to retain both

770
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 3: their offensive and defensive coordinators because again Kurtzygnet he's the CEO.

771
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 3: He lets Mike Chanahan call the offensive plays, he lets

772
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: Brian Haynes call the defensive plays. And both of those

773
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 3: guys are under the age of forty and they are

774
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 3: making money that is very comparable to any head coaching

775
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: job they would take around college football. I think that

776
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 3: is another massive element to this thing, staying on the

777
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: tracks because you know, given their age, given their compensation,

778
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: I think in college football a lot of times, or

779
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: college basketball, there's this immense amount of pressure on the assistance.

780
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: Then as soon as the iron's hot, you better strike

781
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: because it's going to go away. Whereas and part of

782
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: that can be you're just not making great, great money

783
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 3: as a coordinator, or be your nervous given your age,

784
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: of one of these opportunities going to present themselves to

785
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: be Frank Kurtz Signetti had that at Alabama, he wasn't

786
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 3: getting to the level that he wanted to.

787
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 5: That's why he took the job at IUP.

788
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 3: And you know, he admits that that was a lot

789
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: of risk and probably some pushback from the Alabama people,

790
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: I e. Nick Saban when he did that. But like

791
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: Mike Shanahan's thirty six, Brian haynes Is thirty eight, there's

792
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: no real rush for them to run to.

793
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 5: Their first head coaching gig.

794
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: If you're making what two three million a year as

795
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: a coordinator, why do you need to go take the

796
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 3: job at Brian Haynes went to Ball State. Why do

797
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 3: you need to go take the job at Ball State?

798
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: I mean you can hold on too.

799
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 5: Don't know, Brian Hayes.

800
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: I would just like him to take a job somewhere

801
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 4: so I could hear him talk so just cutthroat about

802
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 4: his opponents.

803
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 5: That dude's quotes.

804
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 4: I was thinking, boy, it sounds like it's something kind

805
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 4: of like a Marvel movie the villain and he has

806
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 4: that look too, which, yeah, man, he believes everything he says,

807
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 4: that's for sure.

808
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: When you start talking about NIL money, though, can Indiana

809
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: keep up?

810
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: I think we feel like they can.

811
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: But this past year Texas spent forty million dollars estimated

812
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: on NIL. Indiana spent a little over twenty one million dollars.

813
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: They got the national championship, and that's still not chicken feed.

814
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: But are they going to get to the point where,

815
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: like the tenth highest NIL spender this past year was

816
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: Auburn and they were in just just in that same area.

817
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: So Auburn, Tennessee, Indiana all kind of in that twenty

818
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two million range. And this is this

819
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: is this is estimates on I'm looking at several different

820
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: websites that cover college sports up at the point is

821
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: I would expect, especially with that alumni base and some

822
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: of the alumni that they have, that that nil number

823
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: would probably rise a little bit over the next couple

824
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: of years.

825
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 5: Right, money will not be an issue.

826
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: Indiana football will be in a very healthy state to

827
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: compete near the top if not.

828
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: I thought Mark Cuban was broke.

829
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 4: When he gave big I thought that meant like he

830
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 4: put a little extra in a collection play, kind of

831
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 4: like at church. I thought he had given maybe I

832
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 4: don't know, six dollars.

833
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: You put that all seven eight to the Cuban Center. Yeah,

834
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 3: already put all his money down there. And in Bloomington times.

835
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 4: Was he on TV before the game? I was game

836
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 4: after the game to that airtime, So you keep cutting those.

837
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: Is he probably the most famous IU alum at.

838
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 5: This point in time? Is he the most famous IU

839
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 5: alum at this point in time? I don't know.

840
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 4: I will venture to say probably not. I don't know

841
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 4: if my family knows who Mark Cuban is. My dad does,

842
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 4: my mom does.

843
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 2: But like Shark Tank, I don't know the I don't

844
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: know the people.

845
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: There are many, many millions of Americans know them from

846
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: Shark Tank.

847
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 2: They don't even know about basketball.

848
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: I just feel like someone's gonna like message us and say,

849
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 4: well you forgot this person went on shore.

850
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 5: I want to sound like a clown, so I.

851
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: Got to be one of them, right, Yeah, for sure. Man, Man,

852
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: it's good to be Mark Cuban these days. When's it

853
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: not being good to be Mark Cuban lately?

854
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would certainly like to have to handle that

855
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: those finances.

856
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: What will be fun over the next weeks, though, is

857
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: to start transitioning more and more into basketball and college basketball.

858
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Because oh, by the way, I know that they they

859
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: lost a game last night on the road at poly Pavilion,

860
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: but produce right there with I think just as good

861
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: a chance. It's just about anybody to make a run

862
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: in their home state coming up in March and April.

863
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe we get that run as well. That

864
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: would be fun.

865
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna need a little bit more I think

866
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: from Trey Kaufman Ran and Fletcher Lawyer. You know, I

867
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: actually been pretty impressed by their bench and their depth

868
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: in general. You know, you know, watching the early part

869
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 3: of that game last night, they built a big lead

870
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 3: early with a lot of that depth, and again that's

871
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: that was the thing that Matt Payter mentioned. You know,

872
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 3: Matt Painter was very candid before the season started. We

873
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: feel like this is our best opportunity because of the depth.

874
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 3: Brad Smith has played like a first team All American,

875
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: Trey Kaufman Ran and Fletcher Lawyer, however you want to

876
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 3: define them, you know, all American level for Kaufman Ran,

877
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 3: Fletcher Lawyer, whatever, you know, honorable, all Big ten something

878
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 3: like that. I don't think they've been at that level.

879
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: And so I think it's important for Purdue to get

880
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 3: on that run. That's going to be necessary. But yeah,

881
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: last night, I mean, you have a six point lead

882
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 3: with ninety seconds to go. You would think with a

883
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 3: player like Braden Smith, you're able to finish that off,

884
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: and they couldn't braid a couple turnovers.

885
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 5: I don't want to put all of it on him,

886
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 5: you know.

887
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 3: I know he was banged up with that knee injury there,

888
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 3: and he has made so many closing plays in his

889
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 3: career that he probably earned some benefit of the doubt there.

890
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: But man, this Big Ten race is gonna be wild,

891
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 3: and we sit here approaching the midway point, of the

892
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: Big Ten season, undefeated Nebraska, which sounds wild, and then

893
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: four one loss teams.

894
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 5: Illinois, Perdue, and the two Michigan schools.

895
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: Did you see Mick Cronin thanking the Big Ten for

896
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 4: scheduling Purdue kind of harshly before they played out West

897
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 4: against him.

898
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: I don't know which Mick Croning clips are real and not.

899
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: I feel like he's bitching about the Big Ten scheduling

900
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: every chance I get here.

901
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, I want to thank the Big tim

902
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 4: for giving us five of our first seven on the

903
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 4: road and giving us the team picked to win the

904
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: league on two days rest. I really want to thank

905
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 4: the Big Ten for that. This is after they beat Purdue,

906
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 4: and it's like, good lord man. I mean, everyone has

907
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 4: scheduling issues every year, but he he's a character.

908
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 5: I'll say that.

909
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 3: Purdue Illinois a huge one coming up Saturday inside of Mackie,

910
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 3: and we're six days away from we're doing Indiana, which, again,

911
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: what a time to be alive in Bloomington when you

912
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: probably care more about when the spring football game is

913
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: versus when the next basketball game is.

914
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: Oh, how the tables have turned, Kevin? How that works?

915
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: I mean, do you guys, watch the start of that

916
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: game last night.

917
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 5: It was rough. It was rough.

918
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: I mean Tumber devrees in the first ninety seconds of

919
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: that game two thousand an air ball, And like, I

920
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: get Dusty May, obviously.

921
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 5: This is not his first year at Michigan.

922
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Michigan's top five scores are all new, dudes,

923
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 3: Like this is the day and age of college basketball.

924
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 3: It's just, you know, produce the outlier. So many of

925
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: these programs, it is just strictly we will build virtually

926
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: an entirely new roster year in and year out. And

927
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 3: yet you look at Michigan right now, and you know

928
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: they easily could be playing here in the first week

929
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 3: of April. So yeah, Indiana just got off to a

930
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: horrific starlight. They had one field goal in the first

931
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 3: ten minutes of that game.

932
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 10: Yeah.

933
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 4: I've been shocked at how honestly bad Tucker Devreeze has

934
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: been for the majority of this season. I don't want

935
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 4: to say like he's awful before his standards, he has

936
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 4: not played to that level that we expect him to

937
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 4: play at.

938
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: We got a loaded show for you coming up later

939
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: on today. Stephen Holder going to join us at eight

940
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: thirty give us his Miami perspective from going to the

941
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: game this past week, and also talk about the National

942
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: Football League. Of course, we'll be giving you an opportunity

943
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,080

00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:05,640

1000
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 4: He needs to be on Good Morning America teaching the

1001
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 4: youth of America how to be a good person.

1002
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: Apparently one of the things that he and his daughter

1003
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: do all the time. And whenever he has an accomplishment,

1004
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: she'll text him and say are you happy now, and

1005
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: he'll always say no. As kind of a joke. She

1006
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: texted them the other night and she published this on

1007
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: her social media. She said, are you happy now, and

1008
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: he wrote back, yes, this is Kurtz and Netty. You're talking, yes, daughter,

1009
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: hold on now, my boy had to keep It's just

1010
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: so much fun to watch all this stuff happen in

1011
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: real time around here. And again, if you're just joining us,

1012
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: there will be a big celebration coming up on Saturday

1013
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: at Memorial Stadium at one pm in Bloomington.

1014
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 2: Kevin, this is what we know so far.

1015
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds like yeah that it wouldn't be a celebration

1016
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: of value football with out of tailgate. Sounds like you

1017
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 3: are able to tailgate. I believe lots open at ten

1018
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 3: am down there. It looks to be chilly, high of

1019
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 3: fourteen degrees. I'm seeing this correctly here in Bloomington, and

1020
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 3: there will be a walk to the rock.

1021
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 5: I thought the start time was maybe noon for that,

1022
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 5: so I don't know, pardon me.

1023
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 3: Kind of was hoping for the kirkwood Ish done Meadow celebration.

1024
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 5: I get that.

1025
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 3: Getting a full crowd into Memorial Stadium or whatever crowd,

1026
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 3: it's going to be probably a little bit more feasible

1027
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: than just done meadow that has a little bit more

1028
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: of a you know whatever music festival type of feel

1029
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 3: to it there. But yeah, that'll be coming up on Sunday,

1030
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 3: excuse me, Saturday at one o'clock and it will air

1031
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 3: on Big ten network for those that are not viewing it.

1032
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, parking lots open at ten am, so

1033
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: get out.

1034
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: There and stay warm and do your thing.

1035
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: And did you see any of the drone shots of

1036
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: Kirkwood the other night?

1037
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 6: Oh?

1038
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was cool.

1039
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: Just people packed on people packed on people from two unless.

1040
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not you know, listening to the police

1041
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: like some people out there, but it sounded like relatively

1042
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: quiet from an arrest or injury standpoint down there, I

1043
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 3: feel like usually you hear like you know, thirty seven

1044
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: people were arrested last night as Georgia celebrated their national

1045
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 3: championship in Athens.

1046
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say Georgia and their players, they

1047
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 4: get arrested pretty.

1048
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 5: Often high speed chases.

1049
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: More for the AU basketball program, not necessarily the AU

1050
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 3: football program.

1051
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 5: Right, Uh, James, what was it?

1052
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: Just like one questionable couch being a little fire.

1053
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 5: Out, But yeah, there was a little bonfire ish situation.

1054
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 5: It looked like that was put out relatively easily and

1055
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 5: no mugshots. How about that.

1056
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 3: I think the kid jumping off the Jimmy Johns signs

1057
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: his buddies caught him down there.

1058
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:43,959
Speaker 2: Yeah that was again.

1059
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody one of eleven, just do your mom you know.

1060
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 3: Go back to the National title game. They had a

1061
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 3: tight end play full back, score a touchdown, they had

1062
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 3: a block punt. Charlie becker is won on the depth chart. Yeah,

1063
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 3: it just do your job.

1064
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: I like that.

1065
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: James you Woitt reposted something from Ashley Adamson that I

1066
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: thought was really cool that I had no idea. Last

1067
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: year at cal Fernando Mendoza was knocked out on a

1068
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: controversial hit by Wesley Basanth in a crushing loss. If

1069
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: you go back to the National Championship game on Monday night,

1070
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: Basata was the last defender I think number thirty one

1071
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,479
Speaker 1: that got run over on the way to the end zone.

1072
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 6: Right.

1073
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was quite the extra layer to the movie.

1074
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 4: And I believe Ashy Adamson said, which I laughed. Shout

1075
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 4: out to the Big ten host a network host. She says,

1076
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 4: this movie will have to be a trilogy to properly

1077
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 4: convey all the absurd storylines. So yeah, there's so many

1078
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 4: through lines with it. And obviously the two main co

1079
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 4: stars are Kurtz Signety and Fernando Mendoza.

1080
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and unbelievable character actors along the way, di'angelo, Ponds,

1081
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: Aidan Fisher, Roman, Himbi Sarat Becker, Cooper, just go along

1082
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive lines. I was talking to somebody

1083
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: yesterday and asked the question that we asked when we

1084
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: were getting ready for the game on Monday. Where's where? Honestly,

1085
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: where's the weakness on this team? Where do you attack him?

1086
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: Where's the weak spot?

1087
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 5: What's that?

1088
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 4: Kanye West saying, not the ones that are horrible? But

1089
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 4: the world might never know.

1090
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 5: You have me nervous there for a second.

1091
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe you won an award, didn't he say?

1092
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 10: Like?

1093
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 4: You know, I guess you know, everyone wants to.

1094
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 5: Know what what?

1095
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 4: What what would I do if I didn't win? I

1096
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 4: guess we'll never know. There you go, you never know.

1097
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: I like it, But man, it's been fun to watch.

1098
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: It's been fun.

1099
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: Vin scared all of us there for a second that

1100
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: you should see Mark. Mark actually stood, you know, he

1101
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: stood up right, got out of his chair when you

1102
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: mentioned Kanye West right there, like.

1103
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: Where's this going to go?

1104
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 6: Right now?

1105
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 2: So did we get a winner for the.

1106
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: Butler tickets in the last hour, by the way, Mark, Yes, Skyler, Skyler.

1107
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 1: Congratulations the four packs so that's always good stuff too.

1108
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: We may even give away a four pack later on

1109
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: in the afternoon and the in the morning of the

1110
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: nine o'clock hour for the Indian Night there already you

1111
00:49:58,520 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: said two and O coming up this.

1112
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 3: I believe, turning towards the sellout. I went to opening

1113
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 3: night last year there with my sister in law. It

1114
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 3: was a great, great atmosphere up there at the Fishers

1115
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 3: Event Center, and they had a watch party, did they

1116
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 3: not on Monday night for the National Championship game?

1117
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1118
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: Up there, that's a two great buildings up in that

1119
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: in that north east quadrant of the city up there

1120
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: between Fishers and Noblesville.

1121
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna say Ikea is the other great

1122
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 5: building up.

1123
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: If you ask my senior in high school, he's a

1124
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: big Ikia fan.

1125
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 2: He loves Ikea.

1126
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 3: U twenty twenty six IU football schedule No Oregon, no Iowa,

1127
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 3: no Penn State.

1128
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 5: From a big ten standpoint.

1129
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 3: They will get Ohio State inside a Memorial stadium. I

1130
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 3: can't imagine the last time there's been a home game

1131
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 3: with such a magnitude that will inevitably be around that game,

1132
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 3: like the one maybe thing that's like missing and James sorry,

1133
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 3: but Illinois certainly wasn't. It is probably just the massive

1134
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: home game yet in the Kurtzignetti era. You know, when

1135
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 3: you think about it, you know, well, they have five

1136
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 3: top ten wins this year.

1137
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 5: You know how many of those were away from home

1138
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 5: or neutral field.

1139
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 4: Well, that game, that is where the record, That game

1140
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 4: was tied at seven to seven at one point and

1141
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 4: then you know, put my head down and it was

1142
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, a thirty zero run or whatever it was.

1143
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 3: I just hope if we don't Big ten noon kickoff,

1144
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 3: whatever the hell it's called for, that put that as

1145
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 3: a night game Ohio State at Indiana, and for once,

1146
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 3: this is not all the Ohio State fans in the building.

1147
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 3: This will be the Indiana fans saying this is the

1148
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 3: home field. So I think Big Ten schedule officially announced

1149
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 3: with like dates and everything coming up next week, but yeah,

1150
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 3: the home games for Indiana next year in the Big Ten,

1151
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 3: you'll get Ohio State, Purdue, USC Minnesota, Northwestern, the away games,

1152
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 3: I guess kind of some interesting sites here. You do

1153
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 3: go to the Big House in Michigan, you do go

1154
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 3: to Nebraska, you do go to Washington.

1155
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 5: That Washington quarterback's back there is that right.

1156
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: Last I heard he had changed his mind and decided

1157
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: to stay.

1158
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 2: But we'll check the watch again and.

1159
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 5: It changes mine or the legal.

1160
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 2: Team, I think both.

1161
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 4: I think that's an interesting dynamic though, onto the contract

1162
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 4: that you signed, but you're forcing a kid to come

1163
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 4: back who doesn't want to be there, doesn't bowl well,

1164
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 4: I think for team chemistry and building.

1165
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 3: So now you got the Duke quarterback, sounds like something similar.

1166
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 3: He the school is suing him, go to Miami, James.

1167
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 3: I think this is very awkward, very murky, very messy,

1168
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:24,959
Speaker 3: real quick.

1169
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: Well, but I think a lot of these schools are

1170
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: trying to establish precedents right now, like how's this going

1171
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: to work moving forward? Like for example, Duke, right now

1172
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: they're suing Darien Mensa uh because he said, they're saying

1173
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: he broke a contract.

1174
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of what Washington was saying too.

1175
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: I think you get a couple of these cases in

1176
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: the books and you have something to go on some

1177
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: legal precedent to go on and that might start to

1178
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: take care of it.

1179
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: Don't you think James moving down a road noth sure.

1180
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 4: I feel like the NCAA kicked this can down the

1181
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 4: road so far that they made it worse. And now

1182
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 4: you've opened Pandora's box and you can't put everything back

1183
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 4: into it. And if you're expecting Congress to step in,

1184
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 4: I wouldn't hold my breath on that because that would

1185
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 4: take a lot of people agreeing to a lot of

1186
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 4: different things. And we know if there's one thing with

1187
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 4: college athletics, no one ever agrees.

1188
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 5: So here we are.

1189
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: And we'll wait to see what the courts decide on

1190
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: all these cases. But how crazy is it that whether

1191
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: or not a kid can stay at your school or

1192
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 1: leave for somewhere else is being decided.

1193
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 2: By a judge somewhere. That's where we're at now in

1194
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 2: college sports.

1195
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 4: Brave New World, I mean, worked out well for Indiana,

1196
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 4: but I think it also goes back to what we

1197
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 4: talked about with what you sell. I mean, who's trying

1198
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 4: to leave Indiana if they have a legitimate chance to play.

1199
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 4: I know Fernando's little brother is a little different because

1200
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 4: he clearly was not going to be the guy next

1201
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 4: year at quarterbacks, so he left, and presumably on great terms.

1202
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 4: But most of the time, if you're trying to keep

1203
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 4: a kid, you're trying to sell them once on vision

1204
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 4: that you have for that team. And clearly IU has

1205
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 4: a great vision because it came to fruition just a

1206
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 4: couple of days ago.

1207
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And essentially what Duke is saying in their case

1208
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: is that if Mensa joins another school, he'll quote negotiate

1209
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: a license agreement for the rights that he's already licensed

1210
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: to Duke. So they're saying, he's already got a license

1211
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: with us. You can't just go relicnse that to another school.

1212
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: At this point, I think.

1213
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 3: It'll be very interesting for college football. You know, I

1214
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 3: shared that stat last week on the show in our

1215
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 3: portal era. If you look at the semi finalists in

1216
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 3: the playoff, eleven of the twelve quarterbacks have been transfers.

1217
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 3: Is that that percentage is absurd? I mean it's north

1218
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 3: to ninety percent. Is that the trend continuing to move

1219
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 3: forward or are you know? If you look at next year,

1220
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: I'd have to probably take a closer look at it.

1221
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 3: But like Arch Mania, Texas C. J. Carrett Notre Dame.

1222
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 3: And is that really it? From a top ten quarterback standpoint, the.

1223
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: Guys who started where they're still at at the right point.

1224
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And it's kind of funny if you

1225
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 3: look back on it, because like IU Athletics, if they

1226
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: have a Hall of Fame, which I think they do,

1227
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 3: they should almost make a shrine. There should be a

1228
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 3: portion of their hall of fame if it was a

1229
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 3: brick and mortar for the thirteen JMU guys, like they

1230
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 3: should have their own little special section for the Hall

1231
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 3: of fame. And you know what, you could make the

1232
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: case the most important JMU guy albeit he was just

1233
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 3: committed to their recruiting class, and then you know, came

1234
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 3: over to Indiana was a guy that never started a game.

1235
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 3: You can make the case Alberto Mendoza was their most

1236
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 3: important guy. Does Fernando Mendoza come to EU without his brother?

1237
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 3: A good point, you know, obviously, Kamara Ponds Fisher, I mean,

1238
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 3: sarat unbelievable what they did in the field, But Alberto

1239
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 3: Mendoza being a part of that initial you know, JAMI

1240
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 3: recruiting class, some of them did come over to Indiana.

1241
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if Fernando Mendoza seriously entertains any end

1242
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: of the level that he did without his brother obviously

1243
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 3: speaking glowing remarks about, you know, his experience with Kurt

1244
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 3: Signetty and that coaching staff.

1245
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 2: I wonder what it was like.

1246
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: Obviously, I think he was probably heard he's going to

1247
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. But do you think that as the season

1248
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: went along, that Alberto Mendoza's little brother decided, you know what,

1249
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: if they're just going to go get another quarterback, they

1250
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 1: don't believe in me, even though I'm younger, I'm taking off,

1251
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: going to go find my own thing. That's kind of

1252
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: what it feels like right now.

1253
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's just you know, the Miami backup

1254
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 3: quarterbacks the same way. I mean, can you imagine you're

1255
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 3: a play away from going to the national championship and

1256
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 3: when you wake up the next morning, you're no longer

1257
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 3: on that football team. Both guys are in the portal.

1258
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 3: It's just weird. It's just odd. It's and we're talking

1259
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 3: about eighteen to whatever, twenty one twenty two year old individuals.

1260
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 3: You imagine how much their mind is racing.

1261
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 5: Wait, I was told that I use entire roster was

1262
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 5: twenty five and oh.

1263
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 3: Well, exactly all of them can run for president here

1264
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 3: coming up here in a bit. Yeah, it's just and

1265
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 3: I get it. I mean, if you're Alberto Mendoza, why

1266
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 3: would you come back? They just went out and got

1267
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 3: a four million dollar quarterback, and you know, we have

1268
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 3: da've done on you know, the high school coach for

1269
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 3: both Fernando and Alberto here coming up at nine o'clock.

1270
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 3: But you know, I remember at some point time there

1271
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 3: are people out there that thought out Alberto had just

1272
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 3: as much talent as his brother. And so you know,

1273
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: we'll see how Georgia Tackle is kind of a fringe

1274
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 3: playoff team there for a chunk of the season, so

1275
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 3: we'll see how that goes with him transfer in there.

1276
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean these are some of the guardrails,

1277
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 3: and I think Kurt Signetti is brutally honest about some

1278
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 3: of that stuff. You know, he has made it very

1279
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 3: clear like, yes, we have benefited from the portal, undoubtedly,

1280
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 3: but at the same time, there are a lot of

1281
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 3: things going on with the world of college football that

1282
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: needs to get corrected, things that his program has benefited from,

1283
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 3: which again credit to him. The rules are presented to

1284
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 3: you and you act upon them. But you know, just

1285
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 3: a little know. Do we get to like multi year contracts?

1286
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 5: Is that a thing?

1287
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 3: Because obviously the NFL it's not just one year contract

1288
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 3: after one year contract like it is in college. Can

1289
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 3: you imagine if your NFL roster turned over to the

1290
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 3: degree your college roster's turnover.

1291
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 5: I think that would frustrate fans like no other.

1292
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: In the next five years in college sports are going

1293
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: to be fascinating to watch and see where it settles.

1294
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 2: Does it continue to be the wild wild West James,

1295
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 2: or do.

1296
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: We actually get some kind of real organized matrix for how.

1297
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: It's going to work moving forward?

1298
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,479
Speaker 1: So, like I said, I think we're still a little

1299
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: bit in the wild wild West phase right now.

1300
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 4: The day I wake up and there is uniform rules

1301
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 4: in college athletics, I'll probably be sitting next to God.

1302
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 2: That's quite the statement. On a Wednesday morning Wow.

1303
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 5: Interviewing with the Bills tweet that yep.

1304
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 7: Mark Mike Gariffolo as reported the Bills of request in

1305
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 7: an interview with Colts d C. Lew and Rumo for

1306
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 7: their head coaching job, and Romo in interviewed with the

1307
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 7: Titans and Giants for their jobs and will now talk

1308
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 7: to Buffalo.

1309
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 3: I'd have to double back on bios, but I believe

1310
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 3: Joe Shane, who's with the Giants, there was some history there.

1311
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about Brandon Bean because he is retained

1312
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 3: his position with Buffalo from a GM standpoint there. So yeah,

1313
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 3: we'll see if Anna Rumo's name gets any traction there

1314
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 3: because obviously the two previously mark like you mentioned, the

1315
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 3: Titans and the Giants, both of those have been filled.

1316
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 4: I do want to mention as well, Jim Bob Cooter

1317
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 4: interviewed with the Eagles for their offensive coordinator job. Previously

1318
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 4: worked with Nick Sirianni in Philadelphia, so could see a

1319
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 4: couple of different coaching changes on the Colt's staff.

1320
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 2: What do you guys think about maybe Mike Tomlin in Buffalo.

1321
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: He said he's not coaching this year, So I'm just.

1322
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: But I look at guys that are available and guys

1323
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: that are opening, and just from a talk perspective and

1324
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: an idealistic perspective, man, you'd have a guy that has

1325
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 1: never had a losing season with a talent like Josh Allen.

1326
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: It just I know he wants to take a year

1327
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: off but man, I would have thought that would have

1328
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: been attractive to somebody like him, But maybe not.

1329
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 5: I don't know, Yeah, maybe not.

1330
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 4: Maybe he'll reconsider, but it sounds like he's not going

1331
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 4: to coach this year, so they gotta find somebody else too.

1332
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 7: And the Steelers still have Tomlin's rights. Yes, there was

1333
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 7: another good point that you made. Yeah, I forgot about that.

1334
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 7: Are a very good point there.

1335
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 3: We've seen teams straight for coaches before James and the

1336
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 3: Jimbob Couter front. You know that that definitely makes some sense,

1337
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: and that again he's not calling place here. And think

1338
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 3: about how many openings we just had head coaching wise,

1339
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 3: It was ten of them when it was all said

1340
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 3: and done, and these franchises are interviewing a dozen candidates,

1341
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, seemingly all of them are really going deep

1342
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 3: into the pool here of candidates. Did you see Jim

1343
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 3: Bob Cooter's name for any head coaching interview.

1344
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 5: I didn't like? And again, he was a coordinator.

1345
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 3: On an offense that at one point of this season

1346
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 3: was putting up you know, historic numbers. So and you

1347
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 3: know Matthew Stafford spoken highly of them. Peyton Manny, He's

1348
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: got history with both of those quarterbacks. I think he

1349
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 3: just goes to show you it can be difficult.

1350
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 12: Now.

1351
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 3: Of course, Nick Sirianni, for example, is a guy that

1352
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 3: you know wasn't calling plays and ended up getting a

1353
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 3: head coaching job with the Eagles.

1354
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 5: So it's not a must.

1355
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 3: But I do think, you know, he probably looks at

1356
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 3: his resume and thinks, okay, people view the Colts thing

1357
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 3: as Shane Steigen's offense. You know, do I need to

1358
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 3: go elsewhere to kind of further my resume here? So yeah,

1359
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: we'll wait and see that. That's why Mike McDaniel did

1360
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 3: the Chargers. I think it was reported by Adam Schefter

1361
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 3: late last night as the offensive coordinator out there. I

1362
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 3: know the Raiders brass before they watched Fernando Mendoza in

1363
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 3: person Monday night, they had interviewed Mike McDaniel for their

1364
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 3: head coach opening. So Mike McDaniel and Justin Herbert there

1365
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 3: for the Chargers as an OC quarterback combo.

1366
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, let's check it down? Shall we.

1367
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 4: Shut down?

1368
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 8: Drought to you by the Barbersol Horizon League Basketball Championships

1369
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 8: mar Stars year the Barbarisol Horizon League Basketball Championships la

1370
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 8: is online through chance tickets and more at horisonleague dot com.

1371
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Slashing Indeed college basketball is where we will start this morning.

1372
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: We'll begin with Purdue on the road. They had a

1373
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: sixty seven sixty one lead in the final moments of

1374
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: their game at UCLA poly Pavilion, but Kevin the Bruins

1375
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: scored the last eight points of the game in this one,

1376
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: and Purdue let one get away last night.

1377
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's kind of similar to the USC game.

1378
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 3: You know, a little bit of game pressure there and

1379
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 3: how would you react. Forduce seemingly handles these situations brilliantly,

1380
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 3: but yeah, a couple turnovers. Tyler Billado did hit a

1381
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 3: huge three to win the game. You know, theoretically it's

1382
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 3: about six seconds ago.

1383
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 6: CJ.

1384
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 3: Cox got a decent look there, but it did not

1385
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 3: go down. So, yes, the first Big Ten loss for Purdue.

1386
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 3: Now you got four teams in the Big Ten with

1387
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 3: one loss, the Michigan Schools, Purdue, Illinois, and everybody is

1388
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 3: looking up up at basketball power Nebraska.

1389
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 2: CJ.

1390
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: Cox led the way for the Boilers with sixteen, Braden

1391
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Smith contributed twelve. They will host Illinois Saturday afternoon at

1392
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: three o'clock and it was nice to see UCLA honor

1393
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 1: John Wooden last night. Of course, he coached the Bruins

1394
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: to ten NCAA tournaments, but was also an unbelievable player

1395
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: back in the day in nineteen thirty two. Is the

1396
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: National Player of the Year at Produce, So.

1397
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 6: I know that.

1398
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: Matt Painter said, it was nice to see coach get

1399
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: a little player recognition.

1400
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: While they were talking about that.

1401
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Last night, Butler got to win over to Paul eighty

1402
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: seven to eighty Finley Bizjack twenty four points.

1403
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: Michael Ljai was sick, but it didn't matter.

1404
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: He played anyway. Had seventeen Bulldogs have won two games

1405
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: in a row. Here they come, Here come the mighty

1406
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: mighty Bulldogs. James, let's go.

1407
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 4: They needed those wins too, so showing some bagbone on

1408
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 4: some resiliency there with Dad mott En crew.

1409
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:55,479
Speaker 1: They will host Marquette on Friday night. Meanwhile, Indiana got

1410
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: another loss. They losed Michigan eighty six seventy two. No

1411
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: crime in losing to Michigan, who's one of the top

1412
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: two to three programs in the nation. La Cado led

1413
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the Wolverines with nineteen points. They led by as many

1414
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: as seventeen in the first half. The Hoosiers play at

1415
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Rutgers on Friday night, that's an opportunity maybe for a

1416
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: quad two and they go somewhere along the line they

1417
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: get to pick up one or two quad one wins Kevin.

1418
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 3: They have none. They have not been a NUNCAA tournament team.

1419
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 3: The resume is not great from that standpoint by any means. Yeah,

1420
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 3: so four straight losses and what a time to be

1421
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 3: alive in Bloomington. When you ask more about when the

1422
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 3: spring game is versus when the next basketball game.

1423
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 2: Is Kevin, you bring up Bloomington.

1424
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: There will be a celebration at Memorial Stadium beginning at

1425
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: a one pm on Saturday afternoon. Parking lots will open

1426
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: at ten am. The gates will open at eleven thirty am.

1427
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: Your chance to go and honor and spend a little

1428
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: bit of time with the national champion Indiana Hoosiers, probably

1429
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: for no longer than a half an hour, because James,

1430
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: what they say, I had said game time, but event

1431
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: time temperatures might be like fourteen degrees and that's without

1432
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the wind.

1433
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 4: Holl Yeah, I would never do that, but shout out

1434
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 4: to those who will and Honestly, I can say I

1435
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 4: will never do that because my team is not winning

1436
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 4: national championship in my lifetime.

1437
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 5: So those go and enjoy yourselves.

1438
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 2: Mark.

1439
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Did I see something about the Rams put in like

1440
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: a mixture of cayene powder and baby powder in there.

1441
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 2: In their socks to stay warm in Chicago? To do

1442
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 2: you say anything about that? Maybe that's the way to go.

1443
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 7: Say that again.

1444
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: Did you see that the Rams were saying that one

1445
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: of the things they did to combat the bitter cold

1446
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: in Chicago this past weekend they had a mixture in

1447
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: their socks of like cayaene pepper and baby powder or.

1448
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: Something like that.

1449
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not doing that to myself that things concerning

1450
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 7: you don't want to get cayenne pepper somewhere else.

1451
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 2: Only you, Mark would have that thought about cayne pepper.

1452
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: Anyway, That'll be Saturday afternoon at one Memorial Stadium again.

1453
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: The gates open at eleven thirty. Parking lot will open

1454
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: at ten am. If you're in a mood to go tailgate,

1455
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: which we know they know how to tailgate and Bloomington Kevin.

1456
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly they do. And now they know how to

1457
01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 3: play football too, all right.

1458
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: I know you had a couple of other things that

1459
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: you wanted to mention, especially out at the track.

1460
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 2: Some news from Indie Racing.

1461
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it's maybe the most surprising news.

1462
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 3: I think it's been trending this way. But Ed Carpenter

1463
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 3: he'll be back at the Indy five hundred twenty third

1464
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 3: straight start. I believe read correctly. It's the most consecutive

1465
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 3: starts without a win. So Ed Carpenter will try at

1466
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 3: the age of forty four to continue that. Alexander Rossi,

1467
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 3: Christian Rasmusen, some teammates. There is the Java House Cars for.

1468
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 5: Ed Carpenter Racing.

1469
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, that news yesterday and then the other shout

1470
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 3: out to Pete Souiter from a local standpoint. College basketball

1471
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 3: and may have of Ohio for those that haven't been following,

1472
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 3: one of the stories of the year in college basketball.

1473
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 3: Undefeated one a thriller last night in Suitor. The Carmel

1474
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 3: grad has been outstanding for them, just an absolute.

1475
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 5: Bucket getting here nearly out a triple double last night.

1476
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 5: So as we.

1477
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 3: Inch closer to the month of March, that is a

1478
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 3: program that we'll know a little bit more about. And honestly,

1479
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 3: they're building the resume right now. Clearly they're undefeated, but

1480
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 3: they're building resume right now that you know they could potentially,

1481
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 3: you know, be an at large team, which not something

1482
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 3: you typically say. So a fun story there over in.

1483
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Oxford, all right, Baseball Hall of Fame has two new members.

1484
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 2: They elected him last night.

1485
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: How about this, The Carlos Beltron, who played for the

1486
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Astros in the two thousand and four playoffs introduced himself

1487
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: to many baseball fans with power, speed and defense back then.

1488
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 2: He is on his way in there.

1489
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: And Andrew Jones, who we watched many many postseason runs

1490
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Braves. He is getting into the Hall

1491
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: of Fame as well. They will join Jeff Kent who

1492
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: was put in by a committee as well.

1493
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 2: So three members. You mentioned it earlier.

1494
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: Baseball Hall of Fame seems to guard inter entry into

1495
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: their hall a little more closely than some of the

1496
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: other sports.

1497
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get into the Baseball Hall of Fame, you

1498
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 4: must be living right, and you must be very very

1499
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 4: very well respected, because unlike the Basketball Hall of Fame,

1500
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 4: who led pretty much everybody in if you have about

1501
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 4: five years, it seems like baseball is very restrictive and

1502
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 4: I think it makes it a better honor because of that.

1503
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 3: I used to act like I was Andrew Jones in

1504
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 3: the backyard when my dad hit me pop flaws.

1505
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: He could go get it, man, he could go get it,

1506
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: no question about that, all right, So that's that's happening.

1507
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 5: He the highlight reel looked a little different then. I

1508
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 5: was going to say, is.

1509
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 6: Down?

1510
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 5: Or how we look? How we looking so far? With

1511
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 5: the swing?

1512
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 6: Now?

1513
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 2: Your mind though, right in your mind.

1514
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 3: When I'm on the pot later today, I'm gonna be

1515
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 3: dialing up some Andrew Jones highlights.

1516
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: I did not have to have that one on my

1517
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: bingo card. Mark dacton Kevin making that reference all right,

1518
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: coming up in a minute, we will have our first

1519
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,719
Speaker 1: conversation of the day outside the studio. Steven Holder stop Spyes,

1520
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: we will talk behind next which kind of ninety three

1521
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: five and one oh seven five?

1522
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 2: The fact.

1523
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 1: Got James moving once again? Mark, you should just give

1524
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: him a playlist. I think you should develop a playlist

1525
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: for James. Every time you play s though, he starts grooving.

1526
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 4: Mark, you're invited to the cookout, Yes, I've been once.

1527
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 4: Don't cook Just just come and come as you are.

1528
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 2: How do you know he can't cook.

1529
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 4: That ain't the point. It's a cultural difference. I know

1530
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 4: you can cook, but just don't try, you know with

1531
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 4: my people.

1532
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 7: No, I don't need to. I don't need to try.

1533
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 7: I will gladly accept any and all food. I don't

1534
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 7: need to bring it.

1535
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 4: Hey, there we go, bring the bobs in on good music.

1536
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: Let's turn to the Payless Liokers hotline on this Wednesday morning.

1537
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: We're one of our good friends. Steven Holder is on

1538
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: the other end of the line. Steven a Miami grad

1539
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: fresh off and appearance at the National Championship Game watching

1540
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: a hard fought game that his team came up on

1541
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: the losing it on. I did see before the game

1542
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 1: you were holding up the U sign in front of

1543
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the stadium. So you got that going for you, Steve,

1544
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: and you got that picture to take home.

1545
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean look, we got some uh, we got

1546
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 13: some some good Instagram.

1547
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 2: Post out of it. So that's good.

1548
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 6: By the way.

1549
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 13: Real quick to change the subject, but I think that song,

1550
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 13: that that Tupac track just there.

1551
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 2: I get around.

1552
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 13: I think that came out around the time James parents.

1553
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 13: That's a funny side I remember because I was around at.

1554
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 5: That time, not getting around but just around.

1555
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, No, it was cool.

1556
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 6: It was it was really cool.

1557
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 13: And I went to my college friends, including my roommate

1558
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 13: in you know, some of my like you know, your

Speaker 13: Day one friends who like from freshman year, you know

1560
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 13: what I mean. We all we all got together, four

1561
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 13: of us and went and it was. It was amazing.

1562
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, it was completely unexpected. I mean,

1563
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 13: Miami was was expected to be a decent team this year.

1564
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 13: Don't get me wrong, but after losing two games, you're thinking,

1565
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 13: all right, well, uh, you know, enjoy the Independence Bowl

1566
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 13: or something, you know, and and then you end up

1567
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 13: getting in the playoffs and then this happens.

1568
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 6: I mean it was.

1569
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 13: It was really truly unexpected, you know, and and I

1570
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 13: think that's what made it, I think, even more enjoyable

1571
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 13: because you just never saw it coming. So that part

1572
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 13: was really fun.

1573
01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 4: Again, we have Colt's ESPN reporter Stephen Holder, aka the

1574
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 4: Miami Loser, here on the airwaves. Cold I will say this,

1575
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 4: at least to lose about fifty.

1576
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 2: Did I win every day?

1577
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 4: It's like you didn't give you know, fifty three points,

1578
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 4: you know, was blanketed by you, like like Illinois did.

1579
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 4: But in all seriousness, that last drive, what was going

1580
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 4: through your head when you realize, okay, we got the

1581
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 4: quote unquote stop, we needed to six point game one

1582
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 4: drive to win it? Are you did you? Did you

1583
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 4: watch it? Did you blink? Take me through that emotion

1584
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 4: of that.

1585
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 6: You know what's crazy?

1586
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 13: It's like in the second half of that game, Well, yeah,

1587
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 13: I was in the second half of that game. I

1588
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,479
Speaker 13: was like, all right, they could win this game. But

1589
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 13: I was I had no illusions. I was like, they're

1590
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 13: probably not winning this game, you know, because I think

1591
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 13: you just responded every time Miami made a play, you know,

1592
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 13: especially after the Fernando touchdown, You're like, okay, like that's

1593
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 13: his moment right there, that's going to be the moment

1594
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 13: and you're probably not going to be able to turn

1595
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 13: this momentum at this point, right But they kept doing it.

1596
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 13: So I was like, so that point, you're like, wait

1597
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 13: a minute, we could win. It's like, I mean almost

1598
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 13: like the most basic response, in the most elementary response,

1599
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 13: but it hit us all of a sudden, like, wait,

1600
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 13: they could win. And then when they had the when

1601
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 13: Indiana committed the late hit, it was like, well, wait

1602
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 13: a minute, they haven't done that kind of thing all night,

1603
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,560
Speaker 13: and they finally gave us one, you know, like not

1604
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 13: the reps. But Indiana made a mistake, is what my

1605
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 13: point is, you know. And I was like, Indiana hadn't

1606
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 13: helped Miami for the most part all night. They hadn't

1607
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:48,560
Speaker 13: turned it over, they hadn't committed like the fossly penalties.

1608
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 13: They hadn't done all those things that Miami does all

1609
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 13: the time. That's frustrating. And I'm like, you know what,

1610
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 13: this is what we needed, right, It's all coming together.

1611
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 13: And so it's so funny though that that interception was

1612
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 13: coming right toward me. I was down in that corner

1613
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 13: of the end zone, so I saw the whole thing

1614
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 13: play out, and I'm like, I'm like the receiver the

1615
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 13: balls in the air forever, and I'm like, why hasn't

1616
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 13: he looked back for the ball yet? So it was

1617
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 13: just a cluster, man, But you know what it was

1618
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 13: to even have that opportunity for that drive, it was

1619
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 13: it was a hell of a moment. I can't I

1620
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 13: can't lie.

1621
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 5: Did you try to bat down the pick?

1622
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 4: Since you saw you were like, oh no, wait, you know,

1623
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 4: Michael Irvan both jump into swat down the pick.

1624
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,839
Speaker 2: I died a little bit on that play. I can't lie.

1625
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 6: Steven.

1626
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 5: Congrats to your Canes.

1627
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 3: It was a hell of a game, certainly in the

1628
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 3: hell of a run.

1629
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 14: You know.

1630
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 3: I think back to that final drive and I don't know,

1631
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 3: maybe being in the stadium you don't fully realize it,

1632
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 3: but you know, the three previous plays before that pick,

1633
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 3: Miami was starting to.

1634
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 5: Move it a little bit, you know.

1635
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 3: After the penalty, yeah, you know, they got the ball

1636
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 3: into Tony's hands and they were past midfield. I thought

1637
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 3: one of the sneaky moments was just Kurt Signetti taking

1638
01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 3: that final time out. You know, when you get into

1639
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 3: the like into game drives and you've seen many of

1640
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 3: them covering the colts, you know, it just seems like

1641
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,680
Speaker 3: that pass rush can really tire out, and even your

1642
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 3: defensive backs I think, can be a little panicky. And

1643
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what was said maybe in between the

1644
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:15,919
Speaker 3: two huddles there, but you know, the ability to regroup

1645
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 3: breathe for Indiana, yes, it eliminated their final time out,

1646
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 3: but I think that was kind of a sneaky, big

1647
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,839
Speaker 3: factor in whatever, just Indiana's defense taking a breath reset.

1648
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 3: Here's some coaching points and then obviously the game ends

1649
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 3: after that.

1650
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 13: No, it's a great point because when he took the

1651
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 13: time out, I was kind of like, huh, I don't

1652
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 13: know if I'd have done that. I was, I knew

1653
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 13: why he did it. You know, they were gassed, I'm

1654
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:41,560
Speaker 13: sure you know, but but it was all but it

1655
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 13: was also not a no brainer either, you know. It

1656
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 13: was it was like, all right, well that's that's aggressive.

1657
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 13: We'll see how this works out, you know. And it

1658
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 13: was actually a great move. And look he has made

1659
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 13: he has pushed the right buttons all year. Just give

1660
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 13: him credit. You know, I'm just coaching the year for

1661
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 13: a reason, for lots of right But that's also an example.

1662
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 13: It's not just like building something and putting a program together.

1663
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 13: It's also like, you know, in those three hours on

1664
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 13: game day, got to you got to push the right buttons,

1665
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 13: and he has, you know, So that's that's also a

1666
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 13: part of it too. And I think you got to

1667
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,600
Speaker 13: give that staff credit for those kinds of things. And

1668
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 13: and I just would say this overall about Indiana, like

1669
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 13: there's I don't know if there's a more well coached team.

1670
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 13: I don't know if they're the best coaches in terms

1671
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 13: of like strategy and that kind of thing. I'm not

1672
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 13: talking about that. There's lots of great coaches that call

1673
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,759
Speaker 13: great plays and those kinds of things. I'm not talking

1674
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 13: about that. I'm talking about getting your team to do

1675
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 13: what they were coached to do, to execute, to not

1676
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 13: screw up. They give you nothing, you know what I mean,

1677
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 13: Like you have to go beat them. They never beat themselves.

1678
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 13: And it's so frustrating because especially in college football. As

1679
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 13: someone who covers pro football, I love pro sports because

1680
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 13: the execution, the the the ability, the talent, it's such

1681
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,600
Speaker 13: at a high level. Right, So you have high expectations

1682
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 13: in college football, basketball, whatever, Right, I have expectations they're

1683
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 13: going to screw it up, you know, because they're amateurs

1684
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,520
Speaker 13: to some extent and they are their kids.

1685
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 6: Or what have you.

1686
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 13: And Indiana they never do that. It's just a frustrating.

1687
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 13: As an opponent. I'm sure to have to deal with

1688
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 13: that day in and day out, and down in and

1689
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 13: down out. So they get a lot of credit for that.

1690
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 3: Steven, let's put Fanana Mendoza. Let's put the absolute manchild

1691
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,440
Speaker 3: that ruben Bain is to the side. The most realistic

1692
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 3: player in that game on Monday night that you could

1693
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 3: see fitting the Colts come draft time.

1694
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 13: Hmm.

1695
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 2: On the Miami side, you say, I'll let.

1696
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 5: You go either, but yeah, I mean obviously Miami overall.

1697
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 2: Okay, overall, I got you.

1698
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 13: Great question, man, Let's see, I would probably say, hmm,

1699
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 13: linebacker comes to mind. I think there were some really

1700
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 13: good linebackers in that game, you know, and I think

1701
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 13: you could you could take your pick, but I think

1702
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 13: when you have good linebacker play, and there were some

1703
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 13: plays made by linebackers in that game, it's something we

1704
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 13: haven't seen enough of, right, I mean, we have seen.

1705
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 12: You know.

1706
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 13: I think back to the like Zaire Franklin making that

1707
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 13: play against the Chargers down down the scene in the

1708
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 13: end zone. Great play, right I mean, But but we

1709
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 13: also didn't get enough of that, you know, not nearly

1710
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 13: enough of that. And I think if you have linebackers

1711
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 13: making plays when you have lacked it, it can be

1712
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 13: such a boost to your defense in the middle.

1713
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:42,440
Speaker 6: Of the field.

1714
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 13: Was either seen really having a ton of success in

1715
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 13: the middle middle of the field, and maybe that's a

1716
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,160
Speaker 13: product of the linebackers having a good game, you know,

1717
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 13: I don't know, it's just something to think about. I

1718
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 13: don't know, so I'm not answering your question directly there,

1719
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 13: but those are my thoughts.

1720
01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 4: There always step in question, Steven Holder, You you're a

1721
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 4: politicis never seen one.

1722
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 13: And I don't ask hard questions either apparent least I

1723
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 13: don't know.

1724
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 4: Well, no, you're you're supposed to change the direction of

1725
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 4: a multi billion dollar franchise that you do not work for.

1726
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 13: But you know, car Earth just never listens to me.

1727
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 13: I just I just don't understand it. I just don't

1728
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:19,560
Speaker 13: understand it.

1729
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 4: But will I will say this though on the Colts front,

1730
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 4: sticking with that theme, Holder, when you look at free

1731
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:33,440
Speaker 4: agency beyond Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce, what other players

1732
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 4: come to mind when you think of, Okay, this guy

1733
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 4: needs to be staying or going.

1734
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 13: Hmm, well, I mean they don't have a I guess

1735
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 13: they have. They have a decent list of this decently

1736
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 13: long list of free agents, but it's not I don't

1737
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 13: think it's necessarily like a franchise changing year for free

1738
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 13: agency wise. I mean, I think Quinny pays one of

1739
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 13: the bigger, one of the bigger ones out. Why am

1740
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 13: I blanking on who the free agents are?

1741
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 5: Right now, Quitty Pay Smith.

1742
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:07,919
Speaker 4: Like, how much do you reload?

1743
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 5: I guess is the question.

1744
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 6: I don't.

1745
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 13: I don't know that it's gonna be. Like you remember

1746
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 13: a couple of years ago, Yeah, two years ago, they

1747
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 13: had that huge class of free agents and Chris Baaler

1748
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 13: was like, everybody's getting signed, you know, and they did.

1749
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 13: They resigned just about everybody. If I if I recall,

1750
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 13: and this will not be that, and frankly it shouldn't be.

1751
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 13: I think I think they need to shake the roster

1752
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 13: up at least a little, not just for the sake

1753
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 13: of shaking it up. That's not what I'm saying. I'm

1754
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 13: saying because they need to progress, right. I mean, if

1755
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 13: if you if you haven't gotten it done, you got

1756
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 13: to shake things up. So I anticipate that there will

1757
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 13: be some hard decisions made in free agency, you know,

1758
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 13: Like I mentioned Quitty Pay for example, I think with

1759
01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:01,560
Speaker 13: Quitty Pay, I like Quitty Pay as a piece of

1760
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 13: your pass rush, but he's not a premier piece of

1761
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 13: that pass rush, right, so you know it's for example,

1762
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 13: he goes out there and he finds there aren't any

1763
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 13: takers for big money, and he comes back and you

1764
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 13: get him cheap. Okay, great, but you need to be

1765
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 13: you need to be augmenting that pass rush in that

1766
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 13: front seven generally, So Nick Cross you mentioned him. He

1767
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 13: is a tricky one because I think safeties are a

1768
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 13: position where you're probably not going to allocate a lot

1769
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 13: of money, particularly after investing in cambining them. I'm very

1770
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 13: interested to see if they are willing to, you know,

1771
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 13: to go above their budgeted price for Nick Cross, even

1772
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 13: though I think he's a very good player. I think

1773
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 13: the argument for the Colts, this is just me talking.

1774
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 13: The argument for the Colts conceivably could be well, he's replaceable, right,

1775
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 13: I mean, because safety is just the low value position.

1776
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 13: This is not me saying this, that's the NFL says

1777
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 13: that right, based on how they're paid. Frankly, So I'll

1778
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 13: be interested to see. I think that's probably the trickiest

1779
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 13: one in my book. You mentioned Braden Smith. Look, he's

1780
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 13: he's had a great run, but they can replace him.

1781
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 13: They do have options on the roster, so if he's

1782
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 13: ready to move on, or if the money doesn't make sense,

1783
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 13: they have the ability to move on there too as well.

1784
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 2: Steven, thanks for getting home safely. We always appreciate that.

1785
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: Who knows, Maybe we get a National Championship rematch next year.

1786
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 2: You can try again. Hey, I'm here for it.

1787
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: Ah, right, buddy, have a good one, Thanks so much

Speaker 2: Get a rematch next year? Do it again?

1792
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 5: Not cool for my fandom.

1793
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 3: Don't know if anyone in our market needs to see

1794
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 3: Miami outside of Stephen Holder real one.

1795
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 1: Let Kevin ruminate on that one. We've got a special

Speaker 4: I think Tea Paine should be a billionaire. Off this song.

Speaker 4: I like love and hate the songs. I hear it

1803
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 4: so often. I heard it last night I playing for

1804
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 4: after they knocked off North and North.

1805
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 5: Jesse McCartney body language with t pay Mark.

1806
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 2: How that goes. Everybody's in a good mood around here,

1807
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 2: well most people.

1808
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 1: There are some Purdue folks that probably just plugging their

1809
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: ears right now. But the Indiana Hoosiers are indeed the

1810
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: national champions after a twenty seven to twenty one win

1811
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: over Miami night before last. We all know that, but

1812
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 1: now here's a way you can kind of celebrate that.

1813
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: We welcome in our next guest, Bob Iback from Nico Sports,

1814
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: who's got a little something something for people who are

1815
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: looking for a way to specially commemorate this national championship win.

1816
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: It's in the form of some footballs, but there's a

1817
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:50,560
Speaker 1: lot more to it. Good morning, Bob, Welcome into the

1818
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 1: Payless Lickers Hotline.

1819
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:52,719
Speaker 2: We appreciate having you today.

1820
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 6: Well listen, Jeff and Kevin and James.

1821
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 15: Is my pleasure to be with you all and celebrate

1822
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 15: in my sports career, I was telling your producer off

1823
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 15: the air, I spent ten years with the Chicago Cubs,

1824
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 15: and we almost got there. In nineteen eighty four, I

1825
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 15: was up an era. I was one of the executives

1826
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 15: with the Cubs, did public relations. I was Dallas Screen's assistant,

1827
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 15: and so I remember in twenty sixteen what happened when

1828
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,799
Speaker 15: the Cubs finally won after one hundred and eight years.

1829
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 15: It reminded me I almost had tears in my eyes

1830
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 15: when I saw the final score the other night after

1831
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 15: watching that game down of Miami twenty seven to twenty one,

1832
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 15: win sixteen and o season. And now you're going to

1833
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 15: have something that you'll be able to recollect this season

1834
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 15: and recall all the great things that happened for the

1835
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,759
Speaker 15: Hoosiers in their season. It's a football. It's a fully

1836
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 15: licensed football. It'll come with a number, certificate of authenticity.

1837
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 15: It sells for only one hundred and twenty nine dollars

1838
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 15: and ninety five cents, and in a moment, I'll give

1839
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 15: out a toll free number in a way site how

1840
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 15: you can get this, but you better jump on it quickly.

1841
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 15: We just kicked it off late yesterday and the phone

1842
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 15: line had just been lit up. The nice part about it, too,

1843
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 15: is it's going to raise money for Extra Yard for Teachers,

1844
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,600
Speaker 15: which is the official charity of the college football Playoffs.

1845
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 15: So if you had a teacher or a few teachers

1846
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 15: in your lifetime that really kind of where your mentors

1847
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 15: or got you going many many years ago, when you

1848
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 15: were in high school or even before that. It's something

1849
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 15: that's going to kick back too. Extra Yard for Teachers.

1850
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 15: Hundreds of thousands of dollars from this is going to

1851
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 15: go back to them to get them some of the

1852
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 15: things that they lay out themselves, you know, pencils and

1853
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 15: pens and pads and things like that that they don't

1854
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:48,679
Speaker 15: get compensated for. So it's an extra yard for teachers.

1855
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 15: It's the official charity of the college football playoffs. The

1856
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 15: football quickly describe what it looks like. It's got some

1857
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 15: really cool logos and information on the various panels embossed

1858
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 15: on it. It's a special process that'll keep it fresh

01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 15: make sure that I keep them a good eye on

1909

1914
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 15: they've got everything. It recaps the season sixteen and o season,

1915
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 15: first time ever in the school's history of winning the

1916
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 15: national championship in football. And I, you know, for my

1917
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,799
Speaker 15: long career, I played a little basketball at the University

1918
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 15: of Maryland. I got a chance to know Bobby Knight

1919
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 15: many many years ago in Indiana, and all of the

1920
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 15: things that have been written over the years about, you know,

1921
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 15: being in a basketball school, only this might change a

1922
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 15: few heads, because once you get rolling like this, it

1923
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 15: stays for a while. And I just was amazed by

1924
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 15: what Mendoza did. They're going to have to make a

1925
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 15: movie on all this. But I just want to ask

1926
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 15: you three before I leave, which parts would you like

1927
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 15: to play in the movie?

1928
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 4: Boy, I would like to be D'Angelo Pon's. I would

1929
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,040
Speaker 4: love to be the guy with the pick six and

1930
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:02,839
Speaker 4: you know the collswell playoffs in my final myself.

1931
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think the funny thing is Kurt Signette

1932
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 3: and Fernando Mindauz are such characters in their own skin.

1933
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 5: They can just play themselves. You don't need editors.

1934
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's you know. I remember one of the books

1935
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 15: I wrote was called Caught in the Net, and it

1936
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 15: was about a basketball coach at Clemson Tates Locke who

1937
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 15: cheated and he wanted to get it off his chest,

1938
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 15: and came out in nineteen eighty two, just when I

1939
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,439
Speaker 15: was with the Cubs, and it was later made of

1940
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 15: the movie I'm sure you guys have seen this Blue Chips,

1941
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 15: and Nick Nolty played the part of Coach Locke and

1942
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 15: Bobby Knight was in that movie. And so actually I

1943
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,679
Speaker 15: had a cameo in that movie. I'm not too happy

1944
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:44,840
Speaker 15: to say what I was doing. They put me up

1945
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 15: at a table and massaged my legs after a game.

1946
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 15: I never my face never made it that good, as

1947
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:52,920

Speaker 3: few weeks and few months. Coach Fernando Mendoza, and he

1991
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,719
Speaker 3: was in the building on Monday night and he joins

1992
01:31:57,800 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 3: us now.

1993
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 5: Coach. First off, thank you for the time.

1994
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 3: Secondly, that had to be pretty darn cool watching Fernando

1995
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:04,839
Speaker 3: Mendoza get it done there on Monday.

1996
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. Definitely was, uh it was.

1997
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 14: It was a surreal experience to be able to watch

1998
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 14: him have such success on a national stage.

1999
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 6: It was pretty neat.

2000
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 3: Was the QB drawl in the playbook on fourth and

2001
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 3: five at Columbus High.

2002
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:21,760
Speaker 6: It was he's much better running it now, though.

2003
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,559
Speaker 4: Now I need to dig into the why is he

2004
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:28,000
Speaker 4: much better at this? Did he did he not run straight?

2005
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 5: Or something?

2006
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 4: Over the issues Back in the high school days.

2007
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 14: He was he was not as his body wasn't as

2008
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 14: filled out as it is now. He's just a much

2009
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 14: better runner now, He's definitely he's just gotten so that's

2010
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 14: probably one of the things. He could always throw the football.

2011
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 14: He was kind of tall, skinny and a little like

2012
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 14: gangly was probably the best way to put it when

2013
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 14: he was in high school. And just a much better

2014
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 14: runner now, more strong. He's got more strength in his

2015
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:52,720
Speaker 14: run game.

2016
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:55,800
Speaker 4: So I saw after the game his mother, Elsa was

2017
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,559
Speaker 4: talking about that run and she was like, well, I'll

2018
01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:58,599
Speaker 4: have a conversation with them.

2019
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 5: In remind he was on a running back.

2020
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 4: So did you ever get any any texts from Mama

2021
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 4: Elsa like hey, my boy is you know? Keep them

2022
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 4: safe out there?

2023
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 14: One hundred percent of the younger brother, So I got

2024
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 14: because I coached both the brothers. Younger brother actually in

2025
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 14: the state chamers of the game, rushed for one hundred

2026
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 14: and sixty yards and won the game for us, and

2027
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 14: everybody was happy except for the mom.

2028
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:21,479
Speaker 6: That is great.

2029
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 3: That's the voice to Dave Done, the head coach of

2030
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 3: Columbus High. Yeah, we had him on right for the

2031
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 3: Heisman Trophy ceremony. Dave, what was that experience like for

2032
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 3: you to go up there and obviously see Fernando win

2033
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:33,879
Speaker 3: the Heisman.

2034
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 14: You know, being from the Nee, I grew up in

2035
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:38,560
Speaker 14: the Tri State area, so being from the northeast, be

2036
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 14: able to get an opportunity to go home and see

2037
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 14: one of your ex players win the most prestigious award

2038
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:49,400
Speaker 14: the kind of in my backyard in the sport of football.

2039
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 14: It's I was literally was a pinch yourself moment.

2040
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 6: You know, someone asked me, are you're going to go

2041
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 6: to the ceremony.

2042
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 14: I'm like, heck, how many tries Heisman Trophy can our

2043
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 14: winners do you think I'm going to coach?

2044
01:33:58,520 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 6: And of course I'm going.

2045
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 3: I think you mentioned this to us back a month

2046
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 3: and a half ago, but I kind of want to

2047
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 3: double back on it.

2048
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 5: James.

2049
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 3: You know I asked you about you know, his mother,

2050
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,640
Speaker 3: but you know his father as we've seen. You know,

2051
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 3: he was a player there, and you know him and

2052
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 3: Mario Cristobal on the same team. And I think you

2053
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 3: mentioned to us back in December how you felt like

2054
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:23,680
Speaker 3: your message always aligned with mister Mendoz's message, and that's typically,

2055
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 3: you know, not always a given when it comes to

2056
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 3: the parents of the kids that you coach. What was

2057
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:33,839
Speaker 3: that relationship, Like for you with the Mendoza parents, it's.

2058
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 14: Really especially the mom is an amazing person, and the

2059
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 14: dad and myself have the I think the same belief

2060
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 14: in how football should be played. He is an offensive lineman,

2061
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 14: and I'm always a big believer that, you know, tough

2062
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:48,600
Speaker 14: this wins football games. And so there was no like

2063
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 14: hind shoulder for him to lean on, is probably the

2064
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 14: best way to put it. He was getting tough coaching

2065
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 14: here and he got tough coaching at home, so I

2066
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 14: think hopefully, I.

2067
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 6: Think in the long run it helped him out.

2068
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 4: Co When you look at just the totality of the season,

2069
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 4: how remarkable is it from your perspective, knowing that again

2070
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 4: you made the joke about I don't know how many

2071
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 4: hidand Trophy winners I'm going to coach, but let alone

2072
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 4: a heisand Trophy winner. But he led the first team

2073
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 4: to go sixty and OHO since he'd eighteen hundreds with Yale.

2074
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 4: So putting all that intwer perspective, when you're standing there

2075
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 4: after the game on the field, what's going through your mind?

2076
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,679
Speaker 14: You know, it was really a testament of like how

2077
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 14: hard he works. And I kept thinking, like every time

2078
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 14: he moved up a level or moved from one program

2079
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:37,799
Speaker 14: to the next. He just got better and helped elevate

2080
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 14: that program. So in some ways it's not shocking because

2081
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 14: that's what he's done.

2082
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:44,560
Speaker 6: But this, you know, at the end of the day, winning.

2083
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,759
Speaker 14: The Heisman Trophy, going sixteen and oh winning a national

2084
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 14: championship in your own backyard against against the school that

2085
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 14: you always wanted to go to, those stars will probably

2086
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 14: never align ever.

2087
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Dave Dunn, the head coach of Columbus High

2088
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 3: and he's with us here on the Payless Slickers hot line.

2089
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 3: You know that game, You know, I think it's probably

2090
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 3: fair to say, like Indiana maybe didn't have their best stuff.

2091
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 5: But Kach, what can you say.

2092
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 3: About you know, when the game was on the line,

2093
01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 3: it wasn't necessarily the right arm of Mendoza that makes

2094
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 3: the play.

2095
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:15,200
Speaker 5: It's the toughness, the whereth all.

2096
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 3: He described that play of like it wasn't maybe the

2097
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 3: greatest look that they got pre snab, but he knew

2098
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:21,799
Speaker 3: he just had to kind of go with it. Sometimes

2099
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 3: maybe what you drow up in the x's and o's

2100
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:25,720
Speaker 3: isn't exactly how it plays out. What can you say

2101
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 3: about maybe him outside of again just the great right

2102
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 3: arm of what he showed there in that moment.

2103
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 14: I think he's the type of young man that he's

2104
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 14: going to do whatever it takes for his team to win.

2105
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,480
Speaker 6: And he would be fine handing the ball off.

2106
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 14: You know, every play that drive if you know, obviously

2107
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 14: didn't play out there, but if he hitted the ball

2108
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 14: every play that drive and somebody else scored a touchdown,

2109
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 14: he would have the same reaction as he did after

2110
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 14: scoring and the winning touchdown by himself. He's he's a

2111
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 14: very selfless young man and a great teammate. I think

2112
01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:58,320
Speaker 14: we're talking about the running game. I think that literally

2113
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 14: is it's part of his game that is that has

2114
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 14: improved a lot and has made them, you know, the

2115
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 14: special player that he is today.

2116
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 3: You got some yellowjacket gear in the closet now, with

2117
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 3: Alberto seemingly heading there next year.

2118
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 14: Well, I told him, I said, so, does this mean

2119
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 14: I get rid of the col gear that I got

2120
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 14: from Fernando, the I you gear I got from both

2121
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 14: you guys, No I got. I got to clean out

2122
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 14: the closet again and go with the Georgia Tech gear.

2123
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 4: I don't know, you might be some Raiders gear here

2124
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:27,680
Speaker 4: pretty soon going away for Fernando.

2125
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 6: True, that's true.

2126
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 14: One of my best friends is jets fan, and he

2127
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 14: was hoping that the Jetskins Fanega.

2128
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 6: Woman. Doesn't look like it's going to happen.

2129
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 3: No, they're gonna have to be giving us some precious

2130
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 3: picks if they're going to climb above the Raiders.

2131
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 6: David.

2132
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it's been crazy busy, and we really appreciate your

2133
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 3: time now a couple of times here throughout the season.

2134
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 3: Seems like such a special, special kid, great great family,

2135
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 3: and thanks for providing some insight on that.

2136
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me, guys, I really appreciate it.

2137
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 3: The high school coach to the Menoza brothers, Fernando and

2138
01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:01,719
Speaker 3: of course Alberto. That is Dave Dunn there for Columbus High.

2139
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 3: And again I remember he kind of shared that I

2140
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 3: don't want to turn this into a you know, parental

2141
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 3: high school parent conversation here, James.

2142
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 5: But oh, let's do it. You know how I got

2143
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 5: takes you know, that aspect to it.

2144
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:15,600
Speaker 3: And you know, certainly when his father is a you know,

2145
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 3: prominent football player, I think it's fair to say as well,

2146
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 3: it probably helps the cause there.

2147
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 5: But from afar.

2148
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 3: I'll say it would be a dream if any of

2149
01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 3: my three children grow up to be what Fernadal Mendoza

2150
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:30,720
Speaker 3: really exemplifies.

2151
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 5: Frankly, absolutely.

2152
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,680
Speaker 4: I mean, the guy said a curse word in his

2153
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:37,040
Speaker 4: postgame interview and we all were like, oh my god,

2154
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 4: it's the.

2155
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:38,719
Speaker 5: First time he ever was cursed in his life.

2156
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 4: Is he allowed to do that because he's held up

2157
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:45,839
Speaker 4: this image that it is curated, But it's also pretty

2158
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 4: real when you get to know the person in hearing

2159
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 4: other people describe him as well. So as long as

2160
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 4: those guys follow him in the locker room, he's got

2161
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:55,400
Speaker 4: a bright future ahead of.

2162
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 5: My sister in law was traveling back.

2163
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 3: Her family did like a extended vacation with a three

2164
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 3: day weekend, and they were traveling back and they were

2165
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 3: on the flight home with have you guys seen the

2166
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 3: Bloomington priest that blessed the Heisman trophy?

2167
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:10,519
Speaker 4: I did see this.

2168
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how many Heisman trophies we've had. This

2169
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 3: blessed here right after winning it. But he was sharing

2170
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 3: to her that you know, every week at church, Fernando

2171
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 3: and Alberto right there front and center.

2172
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was laughing at I'm talking before the game.

2173
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:29,560
Speaker 4: This is like way before the game, during those pregame

2174
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 4: or media session scrums, and someone clipped it together and

2175
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 4: he says, I am Catholic, I'm a Catholic man, and

2176
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:38,720
Speaker 4: they just clipped that Bart and I just got a

2177
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 4: kick out of that because he does carry himself with

2178
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 4: certain values. But I will say again, this is the

2179
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 4: cynic in me. God is the biggest band Wagon fan

2180
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 4: of all time, because I promise you there were some

2181
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:53,519
Speaker 4: Miami fans praying on the other side as well, and

2182
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 4: then again what they wanted in the end.

2183
01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 7: So sometimes where Drake was like joining Kentucky and everything

2184
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 7: like that going.

2185
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 3: To game, I'm kind of like, well, yeah, they probably

2186
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 3: were praying for.

2187
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 5: Right, Hello Mark, run there baby.

2188
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 7: One more time, I said, God is like Drake where

2189
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:09,879
Speaker 7: he was rocking like the Kentucky jersey, and now right.

2190
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 4: God is like Drake.

2191
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 5: I did notice that to hear that on these airwaves.

2192
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 4: But to a degree. For the context we're talking about Mark,

2193
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 4: I might agree.

2194
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, God wear the value football shirt, you know, on Monday,

2195
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 3: and maybe in a few mondays from now, he might

2196
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 3: be wearing a.

2197
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:22,840
Speaker 5: Pretty bask That's what it hurts you.

2198
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 3: Again, Rick Carlisle coming up here in about fifteen minutes.

2199
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 3: We'll get to the college basketball slate that was here

2200
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 3: in a few as well.

2201
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 5: One thing to note briefly to bring up.

2202
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 3: We've talked, you know, obviously a ton of IU, but

2203
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 3: you know, we're in this coaching cycle right now in

2204
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 3: the NFL, James, we're starting to see what we have

2205
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 3: four I think officially filled. I think four of the

2206
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,280
Speaker 3: ten officially filled. I need to double check this.

2207
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 5: Stat, but I believe it is accurate.

2208
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 3: The third longest tenured coach in the AFC is currently

2209
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:54,600
Speaker 3: Shane Steiken.

2210
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 4: And he's going into year four.

2211
01:40:58,160 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 5: I mean, isn't that amazing?

2212
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 7: Well did you see the stat that Mike Rabel is

2213
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 7: the longest tenured AFC East coach and he's not even

2214
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 7: been on the job for a year.

2215
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:10,879
Speaker 3: R So, Mike Rable, Mike Rable AFC East, Zach Taylor,

2216
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 3: uh in the North, Andy Reid of course out west.

2217
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 3: So it's Reed Taylor and then Stichens in that group

2218
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:19,839
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty three coaching hires.

2219
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

2220
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 3: Tomika Ryan's in there, Zach Taylor, John Payton would be

2221
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,040
Speaker 3: and that he'll be the first coach in that division

2222
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 3: to be gone, right. I mean a lot of people

2223
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 3: thought Zach Taylor was going to be gone, and he's

2224
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 3: the second currently I'm not leaving currently here in the AFC.

2225
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 3: One thing to know to indy Ona schedule for next year.

2226
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 3: I didn't realize this. They start with North Texas and

2227
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:50,400
Speaker 3: their quarterback supposedly, I didn't realize this is where he

2228
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 3: ended up.

2229
01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 5: Is Tavan Jackson? Oh really? So boy?

2230
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:01,760
Speaker 3: The former what Tennessee to Indiana to Central Florida, now

2231
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:02,719
Speaker 3: to North Texas.

2232
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 4: Where do you play?

2233
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 5: High school? Center Grove center Grove?

2234
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, there for him, and he was Curtis ROK's backup

2235
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 3: of course last year during that run.

2236
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 5: How about it?

2237
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 4: He was very good college high school player and trying

2238
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:17,280
Speaker 4: to find its footing in college.

2239
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 5: So Rocks started a game right when Rourke had that thumb?

2240
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 5: Was it a thumb or some sort of finger?

2241
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 4: I believe he did start at least one game in Bloomington.

2242
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,639
Speaker 3: Uh and so yeah, it's kind of wild on that front,

2243
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,600
Speaker 3: if you missed it. Indian announced yesterday there will be

2244
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 3: a celebration here coming up Saturday afternoon in Bloomington. Details,

2245
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 3: I guess a little vague, but this is what we know.

2246
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 3: It's gonna be inside of Memorial Stadium. It's gonna be

2247
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 3: from one to one thirty. Now you can tailgate, very fitting.

2248
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:49,360
Speaker 3: If you're gonna have an AU football event in Bloomington,

2249
01:42:49,360 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 3: you better be able to tailgate. Lots open at ten o'clock.

2250
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,839
Speaker 3: There will be a walk to the Rock at noon,

2251
01:42:56,200 --> 01:43:00,000
Speaker 3: so I you know where exactly that will transpire from

2252
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:01,760
Speaker 3: and all of that. I don't know if it's very

2253
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 3: similar to the player walk before the game, h but

2254
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 3: it doesn't sound like we're getting some sort of like

2255
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 3: parade down Kirkwood per se. But yeah, one to one

2256
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 3: thirty coming up Saturday afternoon.

2257
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 5: James Boyd a balm high of fifteen degrees.

2258
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 4: Hey, you alway still warmer after you win a national championship,

2259
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 4: and if you got the liquor armor, as they.

2260
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 5: Said, that stadium be full.

2261
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, to be honest with you, but I

2262
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:29,800
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if it is.

2263
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 5: I remember how freezing cold it was for the Super

2264
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 5: Bowl parade here in the sixth season, and they and

2265
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:39,559
Speaker 5: they did the you know, downtown path and ended it

2266
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 5: inside of the rcaight, and there I kind of there

2267
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 5: was part of me.

2268
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 3: I thought, you know, is there going to be some

2269
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 3: sort of pathway and then you go into Assembly Hall.

2270
01:43:46,240 --> 01:43:47,400
Speaker 5: That's what I thought too as well.

2271
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:49,680
Speaker 3: Now, of course, seventeen thousands different than you know, what

2272
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 3: you can put into a football stage. I have no

2273
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 3: idea how many people will show up to this, but yeah,

2274
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 3: one to one thirty coming up Saturday afternoon. For get there,

2275
01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 3: Earl ricked Card and a few Mark Dyighton. Can we

2276
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 3: go ahead and check it out?

2277
01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 8: The Morning Checkown brought to you by the Barbosol Horizon

2278
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 8: Lea Basketball Championships mar Stars Here, Barbara.

2279
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 5: Tonight they are in Boston. This is there.

2280
01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:18,639
Speaker 3: I would say probably their toughest road trip of the season.

2281
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 3: Is that seven o'clock tip. For some reason, I thought

2282
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 3: it was a seven thirty tip coming up tonight, but

2283
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:26,719
Speaker 3: the board is saying seven o'clock there. Jalen Brown sounds

2284
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,080
Speaker 3: like he will play for the Celtics. They are a

2285
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 3: big favorite in this one. And I do think it's

2286
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 3: worth noting Bendick Matherin once again out with that thumb injury,

2287
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 3: and tomorrow James two weeks out from the trade deadline.

2288
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 4: Yes, that is a big date to keep in mind.

2289
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 4: And again will Bendig Matherin's stay ago. We could see

2290
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:47,920
Speaker 4: the mother moving around the league as well, and you

2291
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,879
Speaker 4: were correct at KB seven thirty tip.

2292
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 3: Okay seven thirty tonight and then coming up Friday at

2293
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,600
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City, so that rematch from the opening nights, and

2294
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 3: again Rick Carlisle will join us here and about ten

2295
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 3: minutes all right, last night a busy slate of college hoops.

2296
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 3: I guess let's kind of go in chronological order. Let's

2297
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 3: start in ann Arbor once again. Another opportunity for Indiana

2298
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,680
Speaker 3: to try and get a quad one win, and now

2299
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 3: they are owen six oh and seven. Maybe in those

2300
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 3: opportunities this season. They lose eighty six to seventy two

2301
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,880
Speaker 3: to Michigan. That's four straight losses. They got pounded on

2302
01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 3: the glass. They pretty much were down double digits, even

2303
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:26,799
Speaker 3: close to twenty all night long. Daring the resounded weirdly

2304
01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 3: optimistic after the game. I don't really know, given the

2305
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,599
Speaker 3: current state of the team why there'd be a lot

2306
01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 3: optimism necessarily there, but yeah, one field goal in the

2307
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:35,879
Speaker 3: first ten minutes.

2308
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 5: It was ugly there.

2309
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,519
Speaker 3: I get Michigan obviously is a very good team, but

2310
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 3: it really wasn't very competitive at all.

2311
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 5: No, not at all.

2312
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 4: And I guess if there is a positive there they

2313
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 4: shot better from the free throw line in Michigan.

2314
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:52,679
Speaker 5: Well there you go. Gotta find something again.

2315
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 3: I find it wild times that you might have some

2316
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 3: people in Bloomington that care more about when the spring

2317
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 3: game is for Chrits Signodi's third season and then win

2318
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 3: the next IU.

2319
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:04,520
Speaker 5: Well, and is just football. But this is Indiana.

2320
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 3: I know who would have thought Peyton Manny Kurtzignetti slowly

2321
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 3: turning the state.

2322
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:09,759
Speaker 5: Into a football state.

2323
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 3: Butler got it done last night inside of the inside

2324
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 3: of Hinkle Field House.

2325
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:14,759
Speaker 5: That is Chris Holtman, CJ. Gunn.

2326
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 3: Really nice first half the local product, but Butler, I

2327
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 3: thought key minutes from Evan Haywood. I know Fa Moda

2328
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 3: mentioned after the game he was nervous if Michael Jaye

2329
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 3: was going to play as sick as a dog, he said,

2330
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 3: but was able to give it a go. He was

2331
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 3: very good and Finley Bizjack vital that Butler gets consistent

2332
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 3: scoring from him.

2333
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 5: He had twenty four last night, So they.

2334
01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 3: Need to hold serve at home. They'll be inside of

2335
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 3: Hinkle again on Friday. That is the old Indy five

2336
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 3: hundred checkered out game there eight o'clock with Marquette and

2337
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 3: again Butler's still gonna have to do some other notable

2338
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 3: wins in the big East, ie at Saint John's. You know,

2339
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 3: can you shock the world and beat Ukon at home?

2340
01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 3: But James is very important to string something together here

2341
01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 3: against the bottom feeders.

2342
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:01,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, and this is where you need to

2343
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 4: be coming into your own and I get it. There's

2344
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 4: always got a turnover in college sports. But hey, you're

2345
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 4: a couple months in now, I gotta find your identity.

2346
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 3: You were at a great one last night playing Field

2347
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:13,600
Speaker 3: in ln there as playing Field got it done, and

2348
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 3: then when you got home, I guess Purdue was probably

2349
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:18,759
Speaker 3: just getting started. That was Purdue in UCLA ten o'clock

2350
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,759
Speaker 3: out West, the first Big ten loss of the season

2351
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:25,679
Speaker 3: for Matt Painters bunch. They were up six with ninety

2352
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 3: seconds to go and that got away from them. Tyler

2353
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 3: Bilodeau hit a three with six seconds to go to

2354
01:47:31,320 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 3: take the lead for UCLA.

2355
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:32,759
Speaker 6: CJ.

2356
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 3: Cotts got a decent look there just before the buzzer,

2357
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 3: but that did not go so again produce first Big

2358
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 3: ten loss. You know, both these West Coast games the

2359
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 3: usc game Saturday and the UCLA game. You get game pressure,

2360
01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 3: you get in these clutch moments. I would expect more

2361
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 3: often than not Purdue to get it done. But last

2362
01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 3: night just several turnovers really in the last ninety seconds

2363
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,719
Speaker 3: there that kind of cost them, and you know, trying

2364
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 3: to go win the game versus getting all these defensive stops.

2365
01:47:58,520 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, selfway to end it.

2366
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you much rather have this

2367
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 4: sort outcome now versus come March. Just trying to get

2368
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 4: healthy for Bradon Smith as well. Then he looked like

2369
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 4: himself playing through the knee injury. So a game for

2370
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 4: Purdue before Indiana. That's next Tuesday down there in Assembly Hall.

2371
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:19,040
Speaker 4: It'll be Purdue and Illinois in a great matchup Saturday

2372
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 4: afternoon inside of Mackie. Indiana will do a Friday night

2373
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 4: game out in Rutgers. That is a six o'clock tip.

2374
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 3: There other items to note for me again, shout out

2375
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:35,439
Speaker 3: to Ed Carpenter official yesterday twenty third straight indy five

2376
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,920
Speaker 3: hundred start coming up at the age of forty four

2377
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:41,640
Speaker 3: for him. So I always enjoy our May combos with Ed.

2378
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 3: We'll definitely do that shout out. It's a little Butler

2379
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:47,759
Speaker 3: flavor with Ed Carpenter and James NFL Wise, I guess

2380
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 3: nothing official yesterday on a head coaching move. I'm trying

2381
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 3: to think. I feel like we got all the ones

2382
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 3: kind of late night on Monday.

2383
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 5: I think we hit all those.

2384
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 4: The biggest news on the Colts front today is that

2385
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 4: Leuen Roumo will interview for the Giants head coach open opening,

2386
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 4: and of course and Romo is currently the Colts defensive coordinator.

2387
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:10,240
Speaker 5: The Bills, we will wait. That's again.

2388
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 3: The Buffalo opening, of course made it ten and we're

2389
01:49:12,439 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 3: now down to I believe.

2390
01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 4: So I'm sorry, Mark, did I get that wrong?

2391
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:18,400
Speaker 5: Said Giants. I'm sorry The Bills the Bills, uh, and

2392
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 5: so we'll continue to await that. All right.

Speaker 3: Big Ten season out there at UCLA with the game

2408
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:08,320

2409
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 5: For the Bruins. Tonight, it'll be Pacer Celtics.

2410
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:15,719
Speaker 3: That is seven thirty coming up here on the fan

2411
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 3: at the Thunder on Friday. This is the old Disney

2412
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 3: on Ice road trip here for the Pacers. We should

2413
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:25,639
Speaker 3: get all star reserves at.

2414
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 5: Some point here right.

2415
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:29,640
Speaker 3: We'll figure out about Pascal Sack. We got starters the

2416
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 3: other night, didn't we? Yes, we do for out work

2417
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:34,240
Speaker 3: they do?

2418
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 5: Is it coaches and coaches pick the reserves? Is that

2419
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 5: how it is?

2420
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,479
Speaker 4: I think it's just I want to say it's coaches

2421
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 4: and maybe players. I know the fans don't have a

2422
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 4: say in the reserves right right the way that we

2423
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 4: can ask.

2424
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,679
Speaker 3: Him lettend of the Pantsikers hotline right now again, Pacer

2425
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:52,120
Speaker 3: Celtics coming up tonight in Boston. The head coach of

2426
01:50:52,120 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 3: the Pacers. We appreciate his time as a Rick Carlisle coach.

2427
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 5: Good morning to you, how you doing.

2428
01:50:57,720 --> 01:50:58,839
Speaker 12: Okay, what's happening?

2429
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 5: I should know? This is it?

2430
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:01,719
Speaker 2: You guys?

2431
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 3: Do the coaches pick All Star reserves?

2432
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 5: Is that correct?

2433
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 6: Well?

2434
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 12: I don't know the exact formula, but it's one of

2435
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:14,800
Speaker 12: three parts. There's the players vote, there's a fan vote,

2436
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:18,840
Speaker 12: and then there's the coaches vote. I don't know exactly

2437
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 12: how much weight the coaches vote carries, but I think

2438
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 12: it's pretty significant.

2439
01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 2: Rick.

2440
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,679
Speaker 4: When you look at the season that Pascal Siakam has had,

2441
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:31,799
Speaker 4: I know you've talked about it here on these airwaves

2442
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:32,360
Speaker 4: quite a bit.

2443
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 5: What makes him an All Star in your eyes?

2444
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:41,360
Speaker 12: Everything, you know, just the level of play, the leadership,

2445
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 12: you know, the way the durability he plays every game.

2446
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 12: And we held him out two games. There was a

2447
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 12: game in Golden State, was second ed of a back

2448
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 12: to back coming out of maybe Denver, and then you know,

2449
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,639
Speaker 12: the the second one was the was the Detroit game,

2450
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 12: you know, coming out of the uh the New New

2451
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 12: Orleans game at home. So you know, those are the

2452
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 12: only two games he missed, and you know it was

2453
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,639
Speaker 12: a struggle to convince him to sit those games out.

2454
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 12: But he's played a high level. I think he's hit

2455
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:16,680
Speaker 12: either four or five game winning shots in the in

2456
01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:20,600
Speaker 12: the season that's been you know, obviously very difficult with

2457
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 12: you know, with the with the miss games and all

2458
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:27,720
Speaker 12: that kind of stuff. So he just, you know, he's

2459
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 12: a he's an ultimate professional and he's a great player.

2460
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 3: Carlisle with us here again, Pacers and Celtics coming up tonight.

2461
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 3: It's seven thirty tip. You can hear it right here

2462
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 3: on the fan. Coach Ben mcmatherin out for tonight. You

2463
01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 3: still expect him to play at some point on this

2464
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 3: road trip.

2465
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:48,920
Speaker 6: It's possible.

2466
01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:52,439
Speaker 5: When you look at I.

2467
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:53,519
Speaker 3: Want to say, I don't know if it was a

2468
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 3: Philly game or if it was a game over the weekend,

2469
01:52:55,520 --> 01:53:00,759
Speaker 3: but the TJ McConnell reaching three thousand assists off the bench,

2470
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:03,000
Speaker 3: I believe his second, just to Lou Williams to ever

2471
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:08,520
Speaker 3: accomplish that in the NBA. What is it about TJ's

2472
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:10,880
Speaker 3: makeup that has allowed him to, you know, have a

2473
01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:13,440
Speaker 3: stat that obviously is defined in longevity.

2474
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaker 12: Well, it's the long Jevy that's the starting point, Like

2475
01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 12: it's the starting point. It's just who he is as

2476
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 12: a competitor, which has got him on the floor. I

2477
01:53:25,120 --> 01:53:28,680
Speaker 12: think I've told this story. You know I heard this

2478
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:33,080
Speaker 12: when I got here that, you know, when Nate McMillan

2479
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:37,679
Speaker 12: was a coach, they had acquired TJ. And I forget

2480
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:40,120
Speaker 12: what the other point guard was. It may have been

2481
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:44,080
Speaker 12: Aaron Holliday or someone someone else. I'm not exactly sure.

2482
01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 12: But Nate had told TJ before the first game, you know,

2483
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,760
Speaker 12: that he wasn't going to be in the rotation, but

2484
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 12: to you know, but to stay ready and and all

2485
01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 12: that kind of stuff. And then in the first game

2486
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 12: of the season, uh, you know, the other the other

2487
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:05,360
Speaker 12: guy went in there first, and then he ended up

2488
01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:09,479
Speaker 12: putting J in the game, and TJ never relinquished the

2489
01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:13,559
Speaker 12: job after that, you know. So he's been the backup

2490
01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 12: point guard here for you know, I don't even know

2491
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,400
Speaker 12: what year he was acquired. I've been here my fifth year,

2492
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 12: so I got to believe it was at least two

2493
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:24,839
Speaker 12: or three before that. So it's seven or eight years,

2494
01:54:25,479 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 12: and you know, all that all that time hasn't missed

2495
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 12: a lot of games, and so you know, you run up,

2496
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:36,800
Speaker 12: you run up some some really significant numbers, and in

2497
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 12: this case the number is is he assists And I

2498
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:42,200
Speaker 12: think he's only a couple of hundred assists away from

2499
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 12: catching uh Lou Williams, so you know he has a

2500
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 12: very good chance to do that as well.

2501
01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:52,520
Speaker 4: One more on TJ Rick from a conditioning standpoint, what

2502
01:54:52,560 --> 01:54:54,880
Speaker 4: does that look like behind the scenes, Because when we

2503
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:58,320
Speaker 4: see the effort he plays with during his minutes, I

2504
01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:00,640
Speaker 4: think sometimes me personally, I can take it for granted,

2505
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:03,440
Speaker 4: didn't think that's just TJ. But that's also a lot

2506
01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 4: of work I would assume as well.

2507
01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:10,960
Speaker 12: Well, it is, and it's it's year round stuff. You know,

2508
01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 12: these guys now, back in the old days, old days

2509
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:18,880
Speaker 12: meaning you know, I don't know, sixties, seventies, maybe into

2510
01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:24,040
Speaker 12: the eighties, players use training camp to get in shape.

2511
01:55:24,640 --> 01:55:29,120
Speaker 12: And now, you know, players work out all year round.

2512
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:37,800
Speaker 12: Players are more durable in many ways. And you know, guys,

2513
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:42,040
Speaker 12: guys come into training camp in much better condition than

2514
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 12: back in those days, and they come in to you know,

2515
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:48,240
Speaker 12: tune their game up to the highest possible level. But

2516
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 12: the conditioning part of it, in large part, you know,

2517
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:56,880
Speaker 12: has been taken care of. So anyway, he takes great

2518
01:55:56,880 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 12: care of himself. Our training staff is, you know, the

2519
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 12: best I've ever been around, just in terms of staying

2520
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 12: on top of all those kinds of things. And keeping

2521
01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 12: the lines of communication open like all the time. So

2522
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 12: we have a good situation.

2523
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:17,160
Speaker 3: Here, Pacer Celtics. Tonight. Pacers beat the Celtics last week.

2524
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:21,000
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown just named Eastern Conference All Star starter. Sounds

2525
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:24,040
Speaker 3: like he's got a good chance to play coming up tonight.

2526
01:56:24,280 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 3: What have you seen from him specifically this season, Rick,

2527
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 3: and just the differences in you know, such an elite

2528
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:31,640
Speaker 3: player when he is in the lineup for Boston.

2529
01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 12: I mean, he said, he's just he's a great player.

2530
01:56:36,520 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 12: And he came up on the injury report as probable

2531
01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 12: for tonight, so I think it's pretty certain he's gonna play.

2532
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:50,800
Speaker 12: He's a big he's a really difficult matchup problem, but

2533
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:52,880
Speaker 12: he can play two, he can play three, he can

2534
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 12: play four, you know, and in a lot of ending

2535
01:56:56,720 --> 01:57:00,640
Speaker 12: game situations he's in there at five. So you know, yeah,

2536
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:03,280
Speaker 12: trying to figure out, you know, how to match up

2537
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 12: with their team when they have all those skill guys

2538
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 12: out there, it's really difficult. So, yeah, great player, and

2539
01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 12: you know, matchup wise, tonight, it's it's going to be.

2540
01:57:13,720 --> 01:57:16,120
Speaker 5: It'll be tough this road trip.

2541
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 3: You guys have Oklahoma City coming up on Friday. Obviously,

2542
01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:21,920
Speaker 3: the second matchup, the final matchup with them here in

2543
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 3: the regular season. I think when we spoke with you,

2544
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:26,520
Speaker 3: I forget at what point it was in the offseason,

2545
01:57:27,080 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 3: but you had mentioned to us that you went back

2546
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 3: and you watched Game seven, I believe right up until

2547
01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:38,680
Speaker 3: Tyrese got injured. Did you ever go back and watch

2548
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 3: the rest of Game seven throughout the offseason?

2549
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 5: I guess even in the rail season, Yeah.

2550
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:49,880
Speaker 3: What was the thought? And I guess going back and

2551
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 3: watching the entire game.

2552
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:54,960
Speaker 6: Well, the.

2553
01:57:57,280 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 12: Well, you know, we're a different what's different team when

2554
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 12: tyres they're playing and that's you know, that's really an

2555
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:08,600
Speaker 12: obvious statement, but it was important to look at it

2556
01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:14,960
Speaker 12: and really hone in on the second half because that

2557
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 12: was what this year was going to look like. In

2558
01:58:16,760 --> 01:58:17,240
Speaker 12: large part.

2559
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:19,400
Speaker 6: It was good.

2560
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:26,320
Speaker 12: It was you know, educational, you know, certainly you know, uh, disappointing,

2561
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 12: you know, the third the third quarter we I think

2562
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 12: we lost the third quarter by thirteen or something like that,

2563
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 12: and that was that was kind of the decisive period

2564
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:43,960
Speaker 12: that the things you know were uh, when we're problematic

2565
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:46,600
Speaker 12: and then you know, fourth we just you know, we

2566
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 12: kept battling and we're hanging and hanging and hanging and

2567
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 12: but we just couldn't get close enough obviously, So you know,

2568
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:58,080
Speaker 12: it's tough. But you know, this has been a challenging year,

2569
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:03,440
Speaker 12: but there are many positives, you know. There. We have

2570
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:07,880
Speaker 12: a lot of guys that are getting amazing opportunity to

2571
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:12,960
Speaker 12: step into roles that are, you know, high level roles,

2572
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:16,680
Speaker 12: high level of responsibility, high level of you know, everything,

2573
01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 12: and these guys are are experiencing growth. And you know, unfortunately,

2574
01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 12: in many cases, growth doesn't happen unless there's pain, you know,

2575
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 12: and pain is for us. This year has been, uh

2576
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:37,880
Speaker 12: has been the challenges that we've been up against with

2577
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:41,480
Speaker 12: personnel being out, losing all that kind of stuff. But

2578
01:59:43,080 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 12: we're we're working very diligently to keep a positive vibe

2579
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:50,280
Speaker 12: on things and to approach each game with a great attitude.

2580
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,360
Speaker 12: And that's what we're gonna do tonight.

2581
01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:54,680
Speaker 5: Rick, last one from me.

2582
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:56,920
Speaker 4: I know when we last spoke to you, you were

2583
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:59,520
Speaker 4: talking about Kurt Signetti and how you love his saying

2584
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 4: of production over potential. I know you didn't get a

2585
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:05,480
Speaker 4: chance to watch live the National Championship because you were

2586
02:00:05,480 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 4: coaching in your own right, but to see that group

2587
02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:11,120
Speaker 4: get it done, what kind of thoughts do you have

2588
02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:14,680
Speaker 4: about to turn around? He he being kurting Netty helped

2589
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:15,959
Speaker 4: engineer down there in Bloomington.

2590
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:20,960
Speaker 12: Well, you know, the game, our game was at seven,

2591
02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:24,560
Speaker 12: you know, the National Championship game started at seven thirty.

2592
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:29,520
Speaker 12: I saw pretty much the whole second half because our

2593
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:34,800
Speaker 12: game was over, and you know, because you know, you know,

2594
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:37,880
Speaker 12: everybody's not everybody, but you know, you get YouTube TV

2595
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:40,360
Speaker 12: on your phone and all that kind of stuff. You know,

2596
02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 12: I saw the very everything in the second half, you know,

2597
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:47,440
Speaker 12: and even saw the end of the game. And so no,

2598
02:00:47,520 --> 02:00:54,800
Speaker 12: I saw it. And it's an absolutely remarkable story or

2599
02:00:54,920 --> 02:01:01,600
Speaker 12: remarkable set of circumstances. You know, from a coaching perspective,

2600
02:01:02,160 --> 02:01:08,360
Speaker 12: you know, he has what appears to be a simple formula,

2601
02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:12,640
Speaker 12: but the level of execution is you know, it's it's

2602
02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 12: it's spectacular, and so it's it's it's a it's a

2603
02:01:18,320 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 12: it's a remarkable set of circumstances. Congratulations to him, to

2604
02:01:25,480 --> 02:01:29,080
Speaker 12: the programs, everyone else. And I mean you think about it,

2605
02:01:29,840 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 12: you think about the way he came in and you know,

2606
02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:36,080
Speaker 12: the stuff with the press conference and Google me and

2607
02:01:36,080 --> 02:01:39,560
Speaker 12: all that kind of stuff. It's the it really, it

2608
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 12: really is kind of the coaching version of Babe Ruth

2609
02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:46,200
Speaker 12: calling his shot. You know, I don't know, I don't

2610
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 12: know any other way to put it. I mean, it's just, uh,

2611
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:53,560
Speaker 12: it's it's it's it's amazing and uh, you know, a

2612
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 12: lot of a lot of respect obviously.

2613
02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:57,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's a great, great way to put it.

2614
02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 3: Certainly a mindset shift he felt was needed down there

2615
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:03,920
Speaker 3: and executed it quite publicly and quite impressively. Pacer Celtics

Speaker 3: That is always a good thing. Tell us a little

2650
02:03:37,960 --> 02:03:39,760
Speaker 3: bit about Saturday night. I was able to go to

2651
02:03:39,840 --> 02:03:42,000
Speaker 3: the home opener last year with my sister in law,

2652
02:03:42,280 --> 02:03:44,480
Speaker 3: had a blast. What do we got planned coming up

2653
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:46,520
Speaker 3: here Saturday with the Supernovas?

2654
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:51,960
Speaker 10: Yes, Well, first of all, Supernovas. We knocked them out

2655
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:55,680
Speaker 10: of the championship during the playoffs last year, so definitely

2656
02:03:55,680 --> 02:03:58,880
Speaker 10: going to be a heated game speak level.

2657
02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:01,839
Speaker 6: I got to watch Yes so love.

2658
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:03,720
Speaker 10: They're coming in with a little bit of revenge. We're

2659
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:05,520
Speaker 10: coming in with a little bit I got to prove.

2660
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:07,640
Speaker 10: You know, it's not just lucky our first year, so

2661
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:12,480
Speaker 10: it should be a fantastic match. But then fun stuff

2662
02:04:12,520 --> 02:04:14,280
Speaker 10: ahead of time. Last year, I don't know, if you

2663
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:16,280
Speaker 10: went to the bonfire, you rose some s'mores last.

2664
02:04:16,200 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 5: Year, you bet.

2665
02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:19,400
Speaker 10: Well.

2666
02:04:19,480 --> 02:04:21,560
Speaker 6: This year it's going to be twelve degrees.

2667
02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:26,200
Speaker 10: So we moved the bonfire inside, but still ahead of

2668
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:29,360
Speaker 10: the game. Doors open at five. We'll have free hot

2669
02:04:29,400 --> 02:04:33,400
Speaker 10: Coco freesmores bars. They wouldn't let us actually light fires

2670
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:36,400
Speaker 10: in the venue rosemores this year, which is kind of

2671
02:04:36,400 --> 02:04:40,800
Speaker 10: a bubber I tried. Trust me, we'll have free giveaways.

2672
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 10: Everybody's gonna get a light up towel, rally towel to

2673
02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 10: be swinging around their head, lighting up the stadium thanks

2674
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:50,920
Speaker 10: to our friends at Lily, and then we just start

2675
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:52,480
Speaker 10: rocking and rolling at seven pm.

2676
02:04:53,480 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 4: So Carly, I was gonna ask about the bonfire, and

2677
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:58,400
Speaker 4: you know, Glad to know that you all keeping everything

2678
02:04:58,480 --> 02:05:01,400
Speaker 4: safe and you have the fish Just fire department out there.

2679
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 10: But for those we tried, I tried to get that

2680
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:11,080
Speaker 10: fire inside, but they said, they kept telling me, no.

2681
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:13,680
Speaker 4: I don't know why. You know, I will hold the

2682
02:05:13,680 --> 02:05:17,160
Speaker 4: extinguishedab be right there. But on more serious note, when

2683
02:05:17,200 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 4: you look at what this franchise means to Fishers, what

2684
02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 4: it means central Indiana, how important do you think it

2685
02:05:23,560 --> 02:05:26,040
Speaker 4: is just from a visibility standpoint to have people come

2686
02:05:26,200 --> 02:05:29,200
Speaker 4: see professional volleyball right there in their backyard.

2687
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:34,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the number is just and the youth

2688
02:05:34,280 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 10: numbers in our state speak for themselves. You know, there's

2689
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:41,600
Speaker 10: a record number of both boys and girls playing volleyball

2690
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 10: at the youth level, and we're able to provide what

2691
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 10: that looks like in their future. You know, I played

2692
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:54,200
Speaker 10: growing up and there was no lead there. You know,

2693
02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:56,680
Speaker 10: to do anything, you had to go overseas, and so

2694
02:05:58,120 --> 02:05:59,560
Speaker 10: to be able to do that, and not only can

2695
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:02,240
Speaker 10: you be able to do that in Fisher's in the

2696
02:06:02,240 --> 02:06:07,600
Speaker 10: Indianapolis area, where we have such fantastic talent, is something

2697
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:12,520
Speaker 10: that's been super impossible. We've heard amazing stories from our fans.

2698
02:06:12,720 --> 02:06:16,080
Speaker 10: Our players love going to you know youth practices to

2699
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:20,040
Speaker 10: club practices, saying hi, meeting everybody, and it's just amazing

2700
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 10: to create a pathway and create a vision for something

2701
02:06:24,280 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 10: that hasn't been available before.

2702
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 3: Again, that's Carla Klanik. She's with the indie Ignits. She's

2703
02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 3: the VP of marketing Game Day Experience, and they've got

2704
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:34,400
Speaker 3: their home opener coming up on Saturday, several home matches

2705
02:06:34,440 --> 02:06:36,920
Speaker 3: here as we get into the twenty twenty six swing

2706
02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:39,800
Speaker 3: of things. If you can't make it on Saturday, certainly

2707
02:06:39,840 --> 02:06:43,760
Speaker 3: head to their website indig Night VB dot com. I

2708
02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:45,680
Speaker 3: want to get a little bit more into kind of

2709
02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:49,120
Speaker 3: what we have here locally, Carly, in terms of volleyball.

2710
02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:50,800
Speaker 3: If I'm not Mi Sake and your husband is an

2711
02:06:50,840 --> 02:06:52,680
Speaker 3: assistant coach of Purdue, correct.

2712
02:06:54,040 --> 02:06:54,600
Speaker 12: He is.

2713
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:58,120
Speaker 10: He is the assistant head coach for the Purdue volleyball team.

2714
02:06:58,280 --> 02:07:01,840
Speaker 10: So they just started practice is sin the spring up yesterday.

2715
02:07:01,960 --> 02:07:04,960
Speaker 10: So in our household, we have college volleyball in the

2716
02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 10: fall and pro fog ball in the spring.

2717
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:09,880
Speaker 3: And for those that aren't familiar, Purdue has had great

2718
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:12,880
Speaker 3: history with Dave Schandell here recently, and the Big Ten

2719
02:07:13,040 --> 02:07:15,680
Speaker 3: as a whole is the hell as good as they

2720
02:07:15,680 --> 02:07:16,960
Speaker 3: are in college football recently.

2721
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 5: And you know, it's funny. I've talked about this with

2722
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:19,240
Speaker 5: my wife before.

2723
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 3: She played high school volleyball here locally, and it just

2724
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 3: seems like one of the more under the radar aspects

2725
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:27,600
Speaker 3: is what the Midwest really is all about when it

2726
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:29,360
Speaker 3: comes to volleyball.

2727
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:31,400
Speaker 5: Could you touch a little bit on that.

2728
02:07:31,480 --> 02:07:35,240
Speaker 3: I know, your roots expand elsewhere outside of just our area,

2729
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 3: but it seems like this part of the country is

2730
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:39,640
Speaker 3: kind of volleyball heaven.

2731
02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:44,879
Speaker 10: Really, Yeah, you know, it's funny. We I mean, obviously

2732
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:48,240
Speaker 10: Mary Do a coach and played. We both played growing up,

2733
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:51,960
Speaker 10: and my husband played professionally for a while. We both

2734
02:07:51,960 --> 02:07:55,040
Speaker 10: played in college, like the Midwest kind of every area

2735
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:59,160
Speaker 10: of the country has its own style of ball, and

2736
02:07:59,600 --> 02:08:03,000
Speaker 10: the mid West is very just like gritty and powerful

2737
02:08:03,080 --> 02:08:06,840
Speaker 10: and you can see like if you watch Big ten volleyball,

2738
02:08:06,920 --> 02:08:09,720
Speaker 10: like you said, I mean, there's it's the upper echelon

2739
02:08:10,080 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 10: of leagues.

2740
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:12,960
Speaker 13: Just in general.

2741
02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 10: The sheer competitiveness like tops the bottom is unbelievable. And

2742
02:08:17,560 --> 02:08:19,320
Speaker 10: we've been so fortunate to be a part of produce

2743
02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:24,040
Speaker 10: success go to the lead eight this last season with

2744
02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 10: my husband and so like to be again like to

2745
02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:29,720
Speaker 10: be able to embody that a little bit. That just

2746
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:33,920
Speaker 10: the nature of the people of Indie, I think shows

2747
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:37,920
Speaker 10: through the nature of the game in the Midwest. Like

2748
02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:41,720
Speaker 10: you said, it's just it's a little grittier. They work

2749
02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:45,040
Speaker 10: very hard. I know Dave shan Dell's signature at Purdue

2750
02:08:45,240 --> 02:08:49,760
Speaker 10: is very kind of old school footwork. The hard work

2751
02:08:49,800 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 10: pays off, and that kind of blue collar feel is

2752
02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:58,400
Speaker 10: it shows through in the Midwest kind of style of play,

2753
02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:00,640
Speaker 10: if that's a way to say it. For for those

2754
02:09:00,640 --> 02:09:04,000
Speaker 10: who don't know volleyball, they hit the ball really really hard,

2755
02:09:04,880 --> 02:09:08,800
Speaker 10: and they worked really hard in the back row to

2756
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 10: dig the ball up.

2757
02:09:09,720 --> 02:09:12,280
Speaker 4: So I think, you know, one.

2758
02:09:12,120 --> 02:09:14,760
Speaker 10: Of the fun things that one of our girls last

2759
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:16,800
Speaker 10: year said is that she just digs bullets, so you

2760
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:20,839
Speaker 10: know she's back there and fearless and going after everything.

2761
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:25,240
Speaker 10: So it's just it's such a fun sport in general.

2762
02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:26,880
Speaker 10: And then like you said, to be kind of in

2763
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:30,160
Speaker 10: the hotbed here in the Midwest.

2764
02:09:29,760 --> 02:09:31,440
Speaker 6: Is it's just unbelievable.

2765
02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 10: And I think anyone who comes to you in that

2766
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:36,560
Speaker 10: game and kind of experiences it firsthand will know what

2767
02:09:36,600 --> 02:09:40,200
Speaker 10: I'm talking about. And it's it's unbelievable to watch.

2768
02:09:40,360 --> 02:09:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard people say that have been the high

2769
02:09:42,200 --> 02:09:45,120
Speaker 3: level tennis matches, It's nothing like watching it up close.

2770
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:47,440
Speaker 3: Go into a high level volleyball match, like when I

2771
02:09:47,440 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 3: went to that Ignite game last year. It is a
