It 71 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 6: was just such an epic, epic game.

We will have you covered here for 76 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 6: the next three hours. 77 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: Then you know, you can. 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 6: Dial up some old podcasts with Joe buck Audio. You 79 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 6: heard there, Scott Dolson Audio loved Anthony Thompson and Jake yesterday, 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 6: and we'll have you covered as you descend upon the 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 6: Peach State and tonight Indiana and Oregon a trip to 82 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 6: the national title where there will not be any SEC team. 83 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 5: I think for the third year in a row, there 84 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 5: will be no SEC team in the championship game. 85 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: How about that, Kevin Bowen? 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 5: How about the fact that this year and the you know, 87 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 5: in top twenty five, our top ten teams. I'll double 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 5: check what it is, but the SEC is basically underwater 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 5: against ranked teams from other conferences this year. The tide 90 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 5: is starting to change. James Boyd and what has changed 91 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 5: so much in the last twenty four months. That's probably 92 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: going to keep that going. Not that the SEC is 93 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 5: going to be behind forever, but I think the rest 94 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 5: of college football has caught up absolutely. 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 11: Indiana is the perfect example of that. You go from 96 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 11: being the losingest program ever I believe in Division one 97 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 11: football to now being two wins away from a national 98 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 11: championship in undefeated season. 99 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: So it has been great. 100 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 11: I have learned my lesson as Illinois guy getting blown 101 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 11: out months ago. But at this point I'm ready to 102 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 11: see the hometown area team get done well. 103 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 5: Last night was a very entertaining game, and I start 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 5: to think about tonight's game at the Peach Bowl, A 105 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 5: thirty to twenty win for Indiana over Oregon the first 106 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 5: time around. Obviously you talk about playing teams the second time. 107 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: It usually goes one of two ways. 108 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 5: The team that one just doubles down and proves that 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 5: they are the better team, where every once in a while, 110 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 5: Oregan's like, yep, we had an off day that day, 111 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 5: Let's see what happens. I tend to think that the 112 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 5: three and a half points spread, Kevin Bowen, it's not enough. 113 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 5: I don't know what I've got left in my account 114 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 5: from this past football season. I know it's enough. It's 115 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 5: been okay, it's been a decent year. Wasn't a great year. 116 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 5: But whatever I got left, I'm going for that. I'm 117 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 5: going Indiana giving up three and a half points, Kevin, 118 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 5: I don't feel bad about that at all. 119 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 6: Shout out to Rick Carlisle win number one thousand. 120 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: Last night. 121 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 6: I flipped over at talking about a chaotic end of 122 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 6: that game as well, and I flipped back to Miami 123 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 6: Old Miss and I believe they were just kind of 124 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 6: wrapping up their halftime segment, and ironically enough, it was 125 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: Nick Saban that had the mic at that moment there, 126 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 6: and as Saban is kind of given his last thoughts 127 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 6: before they send it to break, he uttered the phrase, 128 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 6: it looks like nobody can beat them. Nick Saban was 129 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 6: talking about the Indiana University football team, just another reminder 130 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 6: of where we are at right now, as they are 131 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 6: the favorite, and I think they deserve that, and clearly 132 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 6: in the eyes of not just us in this studio, 133 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 6: I think they're viewed in that exact light more from 134 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 6: a national standpoint there, and I think that's right. And honestly, 135 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 6: if you watched that game last night, Miami's got some 136 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 6: incredible individual talent. There's no denying that Malachai Tony is 137 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 6: one of the more special players I think already we've 138 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 6: seen in college football, and the fact that he still 139 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 6: should be in high school is utterly amazing. Like him 140 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 6: and Cooper Flag and we is that really true with 141 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 6: their ages. But nonetheless, I think you watched Miami last 142 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 6: night and you also realize there are some cracks and 143 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 6: there are. Certainly they weren't disciplined whatsoever, and I think 144 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 6: Indiana would be a definite favorite over them. 145 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: So yeah, cannot wait for tonight. 146 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 6: You know, really the last two years, guys, we've had 147 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 6: just some epics of my final games. I thought last 148 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 6: year Notre Dame Penn State was a tremendous game. I 149 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 6: thought even Ohio State Texas had great, great moments after 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 6: kind of the first round where we didn't really get 151 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 6: a ton of that, And certainly last night was just 152 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 6: I mean, you've got four lead changes in the final 153 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 6: seven minutes last night. I mean, how many football games 154 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 6: period do you see that, let alone a trip to 155 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 6: go to the national championship game. 156 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 4: You don't literally all have a chance at the end 157 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: would shock me. 158 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 11: I mean, after the Carson Beck scramble touchdown, I'm thinking, okay, 159 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 11: this is probably over, and Ole Miss gets it to 160 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 11: within not just necessarily a hail Mary, but a legitimate 161 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 11: throw to the end zone to try to win that 162 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 11: game on a walk off. 163 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 4: So that was an incredible theater right there. 164 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 165 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 5: And I know, for the people who were talking about 166 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 5: interference and holding and stuff like that, looks like the 167 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 5: offensive player and the defensive. 168 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: Player both had a hold of each other's jersey going 169 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: for that thing. 170 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 4: That's just meaning I have to slow it down frame 171 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: by frame. 172 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 11: I think it's one of those plays where if you're 173 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 11: a Miami fan, you're saying great defense. If you're an 174 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 11: Ole miss fan, you're saying, where's the flat I. 175 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 5: Think in a situation like that almost always, And feel 176 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 5: free to chime in, Mark, because you've seen a few 177 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 5: of these in the NFL over the years. 178 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 6: Uh No, Mark, and you know nothing about hail Mary's 179 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 6: against your team? 180 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: Well again, what are you talking about? 181 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: But my point is unless somebody is just flat out 182 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 5: tackling the wide receiver or shoving him obviously out of ounds, 183 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 5: they're just gonna let that play, aren't they. 184 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: James, Like, it's just scrum, just go get the ball. 185 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 4: Well they let him play last night. 186 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 5: So there you have it, all right, So a lot 187 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 5: to talk about this morning, obviously a lot coming up 188 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 5: later on tonight.

Frankly, we 209 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 6: obviously saw his career begin at Purdue. Really was an 210 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 6: instant impact guy for the Perdue Boy, the Makers, and 211 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 6: the Westfield product. I have a feeling he will have 212 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 6: a lot of people, maybe in the old phone book 213 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 6: that maybe has a split rooting interest for tonight's game, 214 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 6: So a couple of local angles in this one. 215 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 4: From an Indian high school standpoint. 216 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun. 217 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 5: Sean McDonough will be on the call James Boyd later 218 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 5: on tonight on ESPN. 219 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: He is going to join us at eight a m. 220 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: This morning, excited for it. 221 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 11: I think he's the best in the business, and I 222 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 11: believe he actually won the National Sports Media Association Sportscaster 223 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 11: of the Year award for the entire country, so he 224 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 11: is the real deal. 225 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's one of my favorites and I can't wait 226 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 5: to hear his call of that game a little bit 227 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 5: later on tonight. You know, I've looked at so many 228 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 5: season long retrospectives that people have been putting out on 229 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 5: social media and things like that, and you see people 230 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 5: like Paul Finebaumbed. 231 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, I'm not going to pick Indiana. 232 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 5: I think the folks that have long been carrying the 233 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 5: flag for the SEC and look rightfully so for a 234 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 5: couple of decades they were clearly the best conference and 235 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 5: field of the best teams. But they're still still living 236 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 5: off a narrative that just doesn't exist anymore, Kevin, and 237 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 5: I think people like Paul Finbaum are holding on to 238 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 5: that with every last little bit of strength that they have, 239 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 5: because if you look at the last. 240 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Three years, it's just not true.

The teams combined Kevin for the five points 277 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 5: in the final seven minutes of that football game. And 278 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 5: as you said, kind of a mid range hail Mary 279 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 5: chance for Mississippi to take a win. 280 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: At the very end.

But 283 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 6: I think the old miss story, I was disappointed to 284 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 6: see it come to an end. I just think the 285 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 6: Trenidad Chambliss and some of the plays he made in 286 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 6: that game, And yeah, I was I was rootten, frankly 287 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 6: for Old missing that game.

And you know, Carson Beck has been one 292 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 6: of the more probably criticized quarterbacks in college football here 293 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 6: over the last couple of years. And when they needed 294 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 6: some big time throws in that final drive, I thought 295 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 6: he made several of them. I believe they had four 296 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 6: third down conversions on that game winning touchdown drive. I 297 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 6: thought they were gonna have to settle for a field 298 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 6: goal and potentially a lengthy field goal to send the 299 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 6: game at overtime.

So yeah, there you go, early look at 324 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 6: a week from Monday, all. 325 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 5: Right, And of course later on tonight the Peach Bowl 326 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 5: Indiana with a rematch at Oregon six thirty airtime here 327 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 5: on the fan, Hoosiers fourteen to zero Oregon thirteen and one. 328 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 5: Last time these two teams played, Indiana was ranked seventh, 329 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 5: Oregon was ranked third, thirty. 330 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: To twenty win for the Hoosiers in Eugene. 331 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 5: They outgained Oregon in that one three hundred and twenty 332 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 5: six yards to two hundred and sixty seven yards one 333 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 5: hundred and eighty six yards passing for Dante More He 334 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 5: was sacked six times in that one. Hoosiers forced two turnovers. 335 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 5: You get that defense shown up again for Indiana tonight 336 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 5: and things could go just the way they want to go. 337 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 11: James, Yeah, I mean their defense is one of the 338 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 11: best in the country, if not the best in the country. 339 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 11: So that will suddenly be a problem for Oregon to 340 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 11: contain or try to deal with. But I will say again, 341 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 11: it comes down to a lot of explosive play. You 342 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 11: saw it last night, where you have a team down 343 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 11: and then suddenly a couple of different plays, you know, 344 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 11: first play of the third quarter I think for Ole 345 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 11: miss right when they got the long run for a touchdown. 346 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 11: Those are the types of plays I just feel like 347 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 11: you obviously has to avoid to try to make sure 348 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 11: the organ doesn't get you know, more momentum and hope 349 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 11: as they play in this game, because I think if 350 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 11: you just play straight up and wear them down, they'll 351 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 11: eventually realize, yeah, we ain't number one in the country. 352 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: All right, that comes your way. 353 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 5: Later on tonight again six thirty Year Time and the 354 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 5: pregame show, and then seven thirty The Kick. You can 355 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 5: watch it on ESPN Sean McDonald, we'll have the play 356 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 5: by play and he will join us at eight o'clock 357 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 5: here at ninety three five and one oh seven to 358 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 5: five to the fan. Yesterday, the Indianapolis Colts put a 359 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 5: big punctuation mark. I guess you would call it a period. 360 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, as ellipsis or period. Do you think 361 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: of the very end there? I don't know. For the 362 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: Indianapolis cults. 363 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 4: I have no idea. 364 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 11: I mean, I'm trying to think of like back into 365 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 11: the ap style. I guess I'll put a bit of minutes. 366 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 5: Yeah maybe, But anyway, Chris Ballard, I guess one of 367 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 5: the takeaways I had yesterday Kevin Bowen need to get 368 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 5: younger and faster on defense. 369 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: Okay, where was that for the last nine years. 370 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, we can get more in it, certainly on the 371 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 6: other side. But you know that was a question I 372 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 6: had entering yesterday, okay, from a somewhat tangible standpoint, what 373 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 6: needs to change in twenty twenty six And he was 374 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 6: very clear that yes, getting younger, getting faster on defense. 375 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: So how exactly that looks. 376 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 6: We'll wait here the rest of the offseason, but again, 377 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 6: expect that side of the ball to get the attention. 378 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 6: And you know they don't have tons of resources, but 379 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 6: I will see how much they can create here coming 380 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 6: up in the next couple months. 381 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 5: I just have a question for you actually too, James. 382 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 5: Do you do you still have your juju? Do you 383 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 5: still have your shimmer? 384 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 11: I will say that is an insane conversation to share 385 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 11: publicly because I'm not gonna lie to you. After it 386 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 11: all kind of died down, Kevin, and I'm going through 387 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 11: the transcript and writing up the story. 388 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 4: I was just thinking to. 389 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 11: Myself, boy, if I have to ask my GM, if 390 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 11: he saw his confidence, it's probably time to move on. 391 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 5: He satisfied. Whatever she was looking for. The answer satisfied her. 392 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 5: He is remaining in place, and the Colts will rewrack 393 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 5: it and do it again. Juju shimmer, I like it 394 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 5: the NFL Tomorrow, of course, the playoffs get underway. The 395 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 5: Rams at the Panthers four thirty pm. The Packers play 396 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 5: at the Bears. That one starts at eight pm. I know, Mark, 397 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 5: what we talk about getting ready for tonight's game. What 398 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 5: do the next twenty four hours look like for you? 399 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: My friend. 400 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 8: Not eating cheese? 401 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: Oh you're going anti cheese and get done.

They already have. But each of the last 405 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 8: four Bears Packers games have all come down to the 406 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 8: final play. I don't know if my heart could handle 407 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 8: that tomorrow night if that's the case again, So let's 408 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 8: not make that fifth straight. So hopefully the Bears can 409 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 8: handle them. Packers are kind of limping in. They've lost 410 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 8: four in a row. We'll see what happens. 411 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: Have you properly indoctrinated the children? 412 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 8: Yes, they've asked why don't you like the team in Green? 413 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 8: I said, because they're hideous, they're ugly, they're disgusting, the 414 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 8: horrible human beings. You should not root for them ever. 415 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 8: And they're like what, and sure, they're getting a whole 416 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 8: lay out.

And you know, 507 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 11: you got him talking to the crowd and talking to 508 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 11: Jeff Tigue and it was amazing. 509 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: I loved it all right. That's what's happening? Anything else? 510 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: He goes want to throw in. 511 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 5: That's a pretty busy weekend, a pretty busy checkdown for you. 512 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 5: Right there, we will get to the nitty. 513 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 6: Did we mention Rick Carlisle win number thousand? 514 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 9: There? 515 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 5: Oh, that's right there on my thing to talk about. 516 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 5: But yeah, I was gonna go a whole segment tomno here, 517 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 5: but yeah, win number one thousand, and we're gonna hear 518 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 5: some of that post game in a moment here. One 519 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 5: fourteen to one to twelve. Pascal Siaka, man, is he 520 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 5: carrying this team? He had a three point play with 521 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 5: just under twelve seconds to go last night. They kind 522 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 5: of made the Hornets breakdown in their final try of 523 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 5: getting a bucket there. But this team just keeps coming. 524 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 5: I'll say this. They're under they're undermanned. They got all 525 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 5: kinds of problems going on. They do some things, they 526 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 5: don't always take care of the ball. But they had 527 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 5: a chance last night and they got it done. Finally, 528 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 5: first win since win Covin. 529 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, first one in a month. I think it was 530 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 6: just a layup by Siakam. Don't think it was a 531 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 6: three point play. I thought he got the end one 532 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 6: he is the layup and then McConnell has a McConnell 533 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 6: on the inbounds pass to seal it. I thought, very 534 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 6: fitting way there. He was so fired see him in 535 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 6: the athlute. It was game six of the conference finals, 536 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 6: Charles Toff going nuts and trying to say that he 537 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 6: got a time out there. McConnell was outstanding, and really, 538 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 6: you know, the Pacers needed it because Andrew Nemhard was out. 539 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 6: He was kind of a late scratch. So twenty three 540 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 6: points of TJ McConnell. I thought kind of a cool 541 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 6: scene postgame, you know, seeing Rick Carlisle probably show an 542 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 6: ounce of emotion for Rick Carlile. I had a couple 543 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 6: of videos I thought were really cool. The Pacers had 544 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 6: one where you got Dirk in it and Mark Cuban 545 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 6: and Luke Tony Romo was in it, you know, some 546 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 6: of the Dallas background for Rick Carlisle there. So yes, 547 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 6: first win in a month for the Indiana Pacers. 548 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, win number one thousand for Rick. And you were 549 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 5: talking about TJ McConnell in the postgame presser. I was 550 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 5: watching it last night and he's like, yeah, I had 551 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 5: that air ball. I had to go do something and 552 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 5: he did. He TJ mcconnelld. That's what you do. Just 553 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 5: take the ball away and kick it out for always. 554 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 11: Tick it on the Hornets to play bad basketball when 555 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 11: you need it. 556 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: Jesse Brandon Miller got ejected to in the third quarter. 557 00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: He could have used them, honestly. 558 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 5: All right, all right, we'll talk Colts and Pacers and 559 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 5: Indiana in a college football playoffs semi final. 560 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: Man, where do we start? 561 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 5: We'll figure it out next on ninety three five and 562 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 5: one oh seven to five of the Fan. Well, the 563 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 5: season is finished again before the playoffs start. That's Chris 564 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 5: ballad yesterday at is end of season press conference. It 565 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 5: was attended and participated in by both James Boyd and 566 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 5: Kevin Bowen, and you heard it live here at ninety 567 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 5: three five and one o seven to five the Fan. 568 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 5: What was different about this one, Kevin, as opposed to 569 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 5: what we heard that last year and the year before that, 570 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 5: not much. 571 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 6: I guess it's probably the easiest way to put it. 572 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 6: I mean, we touched on a little bit there in 573 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 6: the first segment. The defensive focus sounds like will be 574 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 6: a big priority here this offseason. So I do think 575 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 6: you acknowledge that that is different. But again, outside of that, 576 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 6: you could have paused the video yesterday and said what 577 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 6: year do you think this is? And you could have 578 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 6: guessed any of the previous five years. So yeah, it's 579 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 6: pretty par for the course when it comes to that. 580 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 6: I didn't think he was maybe as wildly animated as usual, 581 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 6: maybe not as feisty as usual, more to the mood 582 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 6: Caculi and like, if you're gonna rank the ballad years, 583 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 6: the egregious nature of this past season, I don't think 584 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 6: this one is necessarily a top the list. So maybe 585 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 6: that's where some of it comes from. But yeah, I thought, honestly, 586 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 6: I just thought the most ridiculous I guess part of 587 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 6: the entire press conference was Henry lay and that Carli Ersa. 588 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 6: Gordon's number one question to him was do you still 589 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 6: have your juju or shimmer? 590 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 4: I was dumbfounded when I heard that. 591 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 8: Get that season taking money in folks, you get your 592 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 8: shimmer back. 593 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 6: Like my thought was that to me, seems like a 594 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 6: question you ask like you're the Syracuse Athletic director and 595 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 6: you asked that to Jim Beheim in year twenty eight, 596 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 6: or you're Robert Kraft and you asked that to Bill 597 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 6: Belichick in your night you know, maybe Baltimore. 598 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 8: Asking that to John Harball, right, Like, I feel like, 599 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 8: do you asked that at like preschool? You got your shimmer? Today? 600 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: The Nora question like do you need a hug before 601 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: you come in? 602 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 8: Like how is your day? Do you have your glow good? 603 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 6: To me, it's like you asked that of someone that's 604 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 6: accomplished something like do you feel do you still feel 605 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 6: like you can whatever get it done at a high level? 606 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 6: And to me, like that's the number one question you 607 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 6: ask a person that hasn't accomplished anything. 608 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 4: I was stunned. 609 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 6: I couldn't believe it when he said that, and like 610 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 6: that that was the top question. 611 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 4: I was blown away by that. 612 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 11: I just had to, I guess, choke back a laugh 613 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 11: because I was like, this is really weird. And there's 614 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 11: certain stories that I'm sure we all have in our lives. 615 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 11: And I was like, boy, I would have had to 616 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 11: get my arm bent backwards. Just don't for me to 617 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 11: get that out of me. I would just volunteer that 618 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 11: information because again, I think if you're asking your GM 619 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 11: and year nine going into year ten, if you still 620 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 11: have your shimmer and swagger, so. 621 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 4: To speak, tell us the everything you need to know exactly. 622 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 11: I was thinking that is not a vote of confidence 623 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 11: in the fan department. 624 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 6: So it was a reminder from me, James, sorry to interrupt. 625 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 6: It was a reminder to me that I've always thought 626 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 6: the ersays hold Chris Bout in high regard. They hold 627 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 6: them in higher regard than I even thought. Explain it 628 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 6: a little bit more like the fact that you have 629 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 6: thought so highly of this individual that you're asking them 630 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 6: the number one question as they've reached this whatever. I 631 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 6: think it's fair to say an embarrassing state currently for 632 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 6: your franchise that the first question is more of do 633 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 6: you still have confidence? 634 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 4: Belief? 635 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 6: It's not of do you have a plan? Or why 636 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 6: haven't you got it done? What do you think has 637 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 6: gone wrong? They view him even higher than I thought. Again, 638 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 6: that's a question to me.

If you've had a good run, it's 656 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 6: a lot of years.

Know, you still got to be 675 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 10: sound and do the right thing for the organization. But look, 676 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 10: I feel urgency every year, so. 677 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: So no more urgent this year than last year. Apparently. 678 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, nothing he could say in that position would really. 679 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: The grint on your felt right now says a lot. 680 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: I wish people ever could see that. 681 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm trying to choose my words very correctly. Well, 682 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 11: I'll just put it as plainly as I can. When 683 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 11: Stephen Holder shout out to my colleague at ESPN throws 684 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 11: that question out there to Chris Ballard about him being 685 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 11: extended more patience than the rest of the NFL when 686 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 11: you haven't delivered, and he slides in there, and this 687 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 11: is the Holder and this is not a shot at 688 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 11: him at all. But you know, not like you haven't 689 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 11: won anything that is fair, but also you haven't won 690 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 11: anything recently, and I think to tie the question that 691 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 11: holder asked Chris Ballad the same one I threw at 692 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 11: him about what's your great accomplishment when you have to 693 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 11: go back to twenty eighteen, back to twenty twenty. And 694 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 11: then the rest of it is we were kind of 695 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 11: close a couple of years and. 696 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: Hey, we were there, We're right there. 697 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: That is not a ringing endorsement. 698 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 11: And so when he said I'm still confident because quote, 699 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 11: we've done it, and I at times I was thinking, boy, 700 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 11: I'm trampling Kevin and Mike chap on others. 701 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: But I just wanted to follow up there because I'm like, 702 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 4: what do you wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a second, 703 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 4: what do you. 704 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,479 Speaker 1: Mean you've done it? 705 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 11: Are you referencing something from a couple of presidencies ago 706 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 11: or back when I was, you know, a high school 707 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 11: reporter or in college, like back when everyone's lives were 708 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 11: totally different. I mean, I don't even know how many 709 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 11: kids you all had, but Kevin, I know you didn't 710 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 11: have as many. So like things have the world has 711 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 11: changed since you last won something of significance, and you're saying, well, 712 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 11: we've done it, not in the last half decade. So 713 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 11: that to me was a little bit weird and also, 714 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 11: and I get that, it's it's kind of a question 715 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 11: that pigeonholes you into your response. But how close are 716 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 11: you because when you made the sauce trade, granted you 717 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 11: were healthy at the time, you thought you were a 718 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 11: top four team in the NFL, that's what he said, 719 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 11: and so you thought you were probably a player away 720 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 11: from let's get into real contention and go for it. 721 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: Don't blame me for that. 722 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 11: But now, seeing as you are coming off a major 723 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 11: injury to the quarterback you want to have back, you 724 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 11: lost your last seven games of the year. You basically 725 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 11: said that good teams don't lose seven in a row 726 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 11: to end the year. 727 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 4: Then what are you? 728 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 11: Are you a good team? Are you a bad team? 729 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 11: Are you close? Because you can't sit up here and 730 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 11: say you're building something and explain that to this fan base. 731 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 4: I feel like the fan base should be. 732 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 11: Disgusted with anyone who tries to tell them, well, you 733 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 11: know what, we're still building out. 734 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 4: I don't know how close we are, but we'll see 735 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 4: come twenty twenty six. 736 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 11: No, you need to be contending next year, and they're 737 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 11: playing right now is to run it back. 738 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: So I get it. 739 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 11: You might not want to commit to that in January, 740 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 11: but come September October, when we get to be playing 741 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 11: football again, and especially in those winter months, we can't 742 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 11: be sitting here again and saying, oh, I was building something, 743 00:33:59,080 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 11: Oh you know. 744 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: Different season we were close. 745 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 4: No, no one wants to hear that you were close. 746 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 11: You've been close to doing nothing, and for the last 747 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 11: half decade you've done nothing. 748 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 5: I'm gonna build on that too, because not only are 749 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 5: you running it back, but arguably two of your most 750 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 5: important players I won't say two best, but two of 751 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 5: your most important players are coming off major injuries. Obviously 752 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 5: the quarterback is coming off the Achilles injury. We don't 753 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 5: know what even the first month or two are going 754 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 5: to look like. And DeForrest Buckner like that was a 755 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 5: pretty big injury you had with that neck. 756 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 6: Dish stretched to three tavarious horde situation. 757 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm talking two of your best three. 758 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 6: Probably I put Ward pretty high on fifty million dollars. Yeah, 759 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 6: so yeah, I mean, i'd say whatever three or top five. 760 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: If you want to get and can I throw this one? 761 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 11: I just wonder if he's even gonna be back. Yeah, 762 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 11: that's certainly a question. That we will have to not answer, 763 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 11: or rather he will have to answer and will react to. 764 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 4: In the coming months. 765 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 11: One other thing I wanted to point out Kevin and 766 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 11: I should have followed up on in the people who 767 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 11: criticize our questions, I can get defensive sometimes this was 768 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 11: a fair a critique. I kind of missed it in 769 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 11: the moment because I'm trying to keep up with other 770 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 11: things I wanted to ask. 771 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 4: But when he says that, Daniel Jones. 772 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 11: Is they're a short and long term answer, I personally 773 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 11: feel like I kind of let him off the hook 774 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 11: with that, because although Daniel is a very tough dude, 775 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 11: I mean, the guy played on a broken leg trying 776 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 11: to get you to the playoffs. 777 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 4: I can't knock that. 778 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,240 Speaker 11: He's never had anyone say he's not tough or smart 779 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 11: or dependable when it comes to caring about the game 780 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 11: of football. But he has only played sixteen games in 781 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 11: his career once, and I believe he just finished his 782 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 11: seventh season. 783 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 4: So when you say he's. 784 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 11: Our long he's our short and long term answer, that 785 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 11: is ridiculous. 786 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 4: He should not be your long term answer. 787 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 11: And I get you might want to say that publicly 788 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 11: and to perhaps make sure that he comes back and 789 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 11: you have him as your quarterback in twenty twenty six 790 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 11: and all of that. But realistically, he is not your 791 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 11: long term answer. He has been nobody's long term answer 792 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 11: because he cannot stay healthy. 793 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 4: What are we doing? 794 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's an element your betty on hope 795 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 6: with some of this plan boy, which is certainly a 796 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 6: dangerous game, seems like a lot of. 797 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 4: Hope as about to you know, Mary kay lining when 798 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 4: to get a bucket full of. 799 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 8: Coins and they're throwing on the well you over your shoulder, Mark. 800 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 6: I think there's a little bit of a you know, 801 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 6: what was the biggest How did you view the biggest 802 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 6: area of improvement for twenty twenty six? Yesterday he said defense, 803 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 6: we got to get younger, we i get faster. And 804 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 6: again that's where if I am above Chris Ballard of 805 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 6: I'm Carl ERSA. Gordon I met with Wait a minute, 806 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 6: this was your defense. I mean I think if you 807 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 6: were to label which side of the ball has Ballard had? 808 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 6: I mean, he's had plenty of influence on both sides. 809 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 6: But he wanted the defense to change from the Chuck 810 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 6: McGonnell era. He wanted more that ebra flu system more 811 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 6: of that Gus Bradley system, and then realized philosophically, hey, 812 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 6: we need to now tweak it. Okay, here comes Ana Rumo, 813 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 6: and now it's like, wait a minute, the personnel. I mean, 814 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 6: they've drafted more defensive guys and offensive guys. They're a 815 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 6: top ten highest paid defense. Now all of a sudden 816 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 6: it needs to get younger and faster. It was almost 817 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 6: like I have to clean up the mess that I 818 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 6: have created on that side of the ball, which you know, again, 819 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 6: if I am Carly, that to me has met with 820 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,760 Speaker 6: a little bit of huh, like what and it doesn't 821 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 6: appear to be the case there so and then you 822 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 6: just have trickle down to questions that we can get 823 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 6: to as the off season rolls along. Of Okay, lou 824 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 6: Anarimo's never really been a guy that plays a lot 825 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 6: of young guys. Is he going to be more willing 826 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 6: to that? How instant impact are these guys going to 827 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 6: have to be for you? Exactly what does it look 828 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 6: like in trying to get younger and faster defensively when 829 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 6: you don't have a first round pick, when you don't have, 830 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 6: at least on paper right now, ample cap space, So 831 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 6: those are all questions. I think now we can get 832 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 6: into more's free agency years here in a couple of months. 833 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 5: It's going to be an interesting and fascinating off season 834 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 5: to see how the Colts proceed from here. A reminder, 835 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 5: they don't have a first round draft pick this year, 836 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 5: they don't have a first round draft pick next year, 837 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 5: and they're going to try to get this team on 838 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 5: the right track and get it going.

We're not watching that play 856 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: you want to keep. 857 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 5: You made our city proud, all right, even with all 858 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 5: the difficulty, unbelievable. 859 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 4: All right, thank you for the experience for the first 860 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 4: four and. 861 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,479 Speaker 1: A half years. 862 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 5: Let's keep taking it from all right. So it took 863 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 5: a while, Kevin, how long did you say? It's been 864 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 5: again since they had a victory? 865 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: A month? 866 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 4: Yes, a month from today. 867 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 6: So Rick Carlisle becomes the third player, coach, what everyone 868 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 6: defined a third of human in the history of the 869 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 6: NBA to win a thousand games, win an NBA title 870 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 6: as a coach, win an NBA title as a player. 871 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 1: That was fantastic to watch last night air. 872 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 4: Right there. I was going to say, Hall of Fame 873 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 4: resume right there, baby, Phil Jackson, pat Riley, Rick Carlisle. 874 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 11: I'm taking Rick in one on one against all of them. 875 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 11: Rick has given pat rally to business. 876 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: I'll take it. 877 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 5: But this is his team that's obviously going through an 878 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 5: extraordinary time. And again Nemhart missing the game last night. 879 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 5: It just it feels like every night something crazy is 880 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 5: gonna happen. I think it was Denary you pointed out 881 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 5: near the beginning of the game last night. It was 882 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 5: the Yeah, it was right pregame I was watching. I 883 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 5: think it's the twenty second different starting lineup they've had 884 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 5: this year, Kevin. 885 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 6: I was that high already. I remember it was eighteen 886 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 6: last week. So yeah, I mean they've had a slew 887 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 6: of them, certainly. And you know, for those that weren't 888 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,760 Speaker 6: watching last night, I get the Fiesta Bowl was outstanding, 889 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 6: but I was loving back and forth there at the end. 890 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 4: I mean it was great theater, great drama. Siak. 891 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 6: I'm a huge stripe driving layup TJ McConnell with a 892 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 6: McConnell to kind of ice ice it, and he was huge. 893 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 6: Twenty three points for him. Really needed Jay Huff I 894 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 6: thought hit some big shots as well for the Pacers, 895 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 6: So yeah, they really really needed that. And now four 896 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 6: straight at home as they shift back here to Gambridge Field. 897 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 5: House, Yep, they'll be taking on the heat tomorrow night. 898 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 5: So I just wonder if the wins start to come 899 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 5: a little easier. Sometimes everything gets tight and everything you 900 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 5: know you're talking about different lineups and all that kind 901 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 5: of stuff. It's just got feel great to fly home 902 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 5: last night with a victory for the first time in 903 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 5: a while and get that, as they say to Cliche, 904 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 5: get that gorilla off your back. 905 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: That not just a monkey. That thing was like a 906 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: six hundred pound gorilla on your shoulders. 907 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 6: You're most confident in what tonight for Indiana, most. 908 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 5: Confident that the other the interior lines on both sides, 909 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 5: offense and defense, push guys around and do what they 910 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 5: did against Oregon the first time and really dominate and 911 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 5: not let them run the football and put all kinds 912 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 5: of pressure on the quarterback. 913 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 4: Running the ball. 914 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 11: I know we put a lot of hype on Fernando Mendoza, 915 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 11: and rightfully so he is the Heisman Trophy winner. But 916 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 11: you look at these performances throughout the year, especially last 917 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 11: week's game against Alabama. You had two guys go for 918 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 11: nearly one hundred yards in that game, and they were 919 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,240 Speaker 11: doing it not on you know, a bunch of carries. 920 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 11: I believe they were averaging about four point something yards 921 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 11: per attempt. 922 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 4: So that to me will be the difference. 923 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 11: And obviously, if you can run the ball then that 924 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 11: opens things up for Fando Mendoza to get loose. 925 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, Gud, I'm trying to fight the I 926 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 6: don't know if this is the thing I'm most confident. 927 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 6: I am pretty confident in it, but I also think 928 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 6: it's arguably the most critical element of the win tonight, 929 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 6: and that's getting Dante. 930 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 4: More off a spot. 931 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 6: You know, I think if you are allowing Dante Moore 932 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 6: to hit the three, the five step, letting him pat 933 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 6: the ball, letting him, you know, see a rather clean 934 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 6: pocket operate in a clean pocket, He's gonna make some place. 935 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 6: I don't think there's any doubt about that. But if 936 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 6: you can create havoc around him, then I think you 937 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 6: at least force him to answer a question that I 938 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 6: don't think he's really answered yet in his collegiate career, 939 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 6: and certainly in the first game, you know, when you 940 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 6: sacked him six times, I kind of speaks to itself, 941 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 6: and he hadn't been sacked up until that point of 942 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 6: the season. So I don't know if I'm maybe as 943 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,439 Speaker 6: confident in it as I am the Indiana run game 944 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 6: to your point, James, but I am still pretty confident 945 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 6: without Stephen Daily that they can do that. I thought 946 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 6: Oregon's offensive line had some issues against Texas Tech. Granted 947 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 6: Texas Tech probably they're really their only true strength is 948 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 6: their D line, But I also think that is a 949 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 6: huge part in making sure you're playing a week from Monday. 950 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 5: Well six thirty tonight, you get all the pregame with 951 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 5: Fish and then Buck and John Herrick, and then they 952 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 5: got the play by play on the radio at seven thirty, 953 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 5: and of course you'll be able to see all the 954 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,359 Speaker 5: casting characters from ESPN getting ready for the game. And 955 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 5: then Sean McDonough will have the call coming up at 956 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 5: seven thirty tonight, and we are going to talk to 957 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 5: him in just a few moments about his thoughts on 958 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 5: this college football playoff, the relevance of the SEC which 959 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 5: haven't gone away. 960 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 1: But man, they end this thirty year in a row. 961 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 5: They haven't had a team that will be playing in 962 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 5: the National Championship game. But mostly we'll talk about the 963 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 5: Hoosiers and this incredible journey that they're on that comes 964 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 5: your way next. 965 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: It's ninety three five and one oh seven.

I'm sure 978 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 5: you could imagine that. 979 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, just hearing that rejoinder that you just play would 980 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 2: get me fired up too, even if I wasn't an 981 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 2: Indiana fan. Great to talk to you again, Jeff, and 982 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 2: to Kevin and James, and we're fired up too, you know. 983 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 2: Looking forward to seeing this team tonight that has been 984 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 2: clearly the best team in the country all season long. 985 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,439 Speaker 2: As you guys know, it's an excellent opponent. I think 986 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: it will be like last night, another really competitive, exciting 987 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 2: game and can't wait to get started. 988 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 4: Sean, can't thank you enough. 989 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 6: Last year you joined us quite often throughout the run. 990 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,720 Speaker 6: You were kind of the notre dame, if you will, 991 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 6: I guess, play by player throughout that run, and so 992 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 6: we appreciate the time here again with obviously a different opponent, 993 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 6: albeit you saw Indiana last year in that first round matchup. 994 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 6: Let's kind of start there, Kurt Signetti, what is different 995 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 6: in your interactions maybe before last year's opener versus what 996 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 6: you've seen from him this year from Afar and now 997 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 6: obviously up close for tonight. 998 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 1: I really didn't. 999 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 2: Notice anything different, you know. I think that's a part 1000 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 2: of his success. Excuse me, is he's pretty consistent, the 1001 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 2: same guy more often than not. You know, he has 1002 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 2: a great belief in himself, his staff, the players, the system. 1003 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 2: And you know, I thought it was interesting yesterday his 1004 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 2: facial expressions have become a thing, especially after the Rose 1005 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: Bowl against Alabama. He was asked about it yesterday and 1006 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 2: he said, you know, one of the reasons he kind 1007 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 2: of wears that expression all the time is he tells 1008 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 2: his players he wants them to be the same, play 1009 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 2: the same from play one to play whatever one hundred 1010 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 2: and fifty. So he doesn't want to be up there, 1011 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 2: up and down with his emotions on the sideline and 1012 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 2: not practicing what he preaches. So not much different within 1013 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 2: our interaction with him yesterday than it was last year. 1014 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 11: Sean, thanks again for the time and congratulations on being 1015 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 11: in the name the National Sportscaster of the Year from 1016 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 11: the National Sports Media Association. A big honor there and 1017 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 11: rightfully deservedly. So going to you and looking at this 1018 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 11: matchup again, what do you think could be different from 1019 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 11: when we saw these teams a couple months ago. 1020 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think if you're Oregon, the number 1021 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 2: one thing you need to figure out is upsacks. You know, 1022 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 2: it was unusual for them to give up sacks. They've 1023 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 2: only given up sixteen all year, and six of them 1024 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 2: were in the game against Indiana and they had eight 1025 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 2: out of their fourteen games they didn't give up a sack. 1026 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 2: So I think they need to figure out the protection. 1027 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 2: You know, I give Brian Haynes and the defensive staff 1028 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 2: and players a lot of credit for that. You know, 1029 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 2: they're hard to defend that way, as you guys know, 1030 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 2: a lot of simulated pressure, They move people around, they 1031 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 2: have talented people who can get after the quarterback. So 1032 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 2: I think for Oregon, if it's going to be different. 1033 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 2: That has to be job one for them. 1034 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 5: Sean McDonough ESPN has to play by play of the 1035 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 5: game tonight Indiana and Oregon joining us on the Paylesslikers Hotline. Sean, 1036 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,839 Speaker 5: You've seen so much college football over the years, and 1037 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 5: when I look at this Indiana team, the thing that 1038 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 5: really jumps out to me is how physical they are, 1039 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 5: and then at the skill positions, how strong and fast. 1040 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: They are as well. 1041 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,880 Speaker 5: They look like what used to be like an SEC team. 1042 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 5: What do you see when you watch this team getting 1043 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 5: ready for the game. 1044 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, they are definitely that, and I think just the 1045 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 2: most impressive thing. I don't ever remember preparing for a 1046 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 2: game where the team looked like they were so well coached, 1047 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 2: that executed so well in all the things that you 1048 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 2: would say are important in the game. I mean, they're 1049 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 2: the best team in the country on third down when 1050 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 2: they're on offense, on third down, on defense, they're third 1051 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 2: best in the country behind Texas A and M Virginia. 1052 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 2: They're plus eighteen in the turnover margin that side with 1053 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 2: Arizona for the best in the country. You know, they 1054 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 2: don't give up explosive plays. That's another big thing to 1055 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 2: go back to the previous question about tonight, the Oregon 1056 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 2: is more explosive country twenty yard plays or more, ninety 1057 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 2: five of them. Indiana doesn't give those up. They don't 1058 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,480 Speaker 2: hurt themselves with penalties. You know, you guys have seen 1059 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: it all year long. I mean, if you're a coach 1060 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 2: and a staff and you're looking at your team and 1061 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 2: you want them to demonstrate that they're a beautifully coached team, 1062 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 2: they really do everything that would suggest, wow, this is 1063 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 2: a really well coached team. So I think that's the 1064 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,439 Speaker 2: thing that jumps out to me. They have guys who 1065 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 2: love football, play hard. Obviously, they have the best quarterback 1066 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 2: in the country. Well, we shall see, right, that's another 1067 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 2: interesting backdrop to this tonight. The NFL people, I think, 1068 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 2: look at at Fernando and Dante more is one in 1069 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 2: one A and probably the top two picks in the draft, 1070 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 2: and you know, talking to mel kiper emailing with him, 1071 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 2: you know he's not sure which one is number one 1072 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 2: and which one's number two. So that's not the most 1073 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 2: important thing tonight, but it is certainly a small part 1074 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:13,720 Speaker 2: of the story. 1075 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 6: You certainly know that boy Sean McDonough he will be 1076 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 6: on the call here in about twelve hours. I guess 1077 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 6: we'll be in the first quarter at this point of 1078 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 6: Indiana and Oregon tonight. 1079 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 4: Of course on ESPN. 1080 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,799 Speaker 6: Let's focus on Mendoza for a second and maybe more 1081 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 6: of just kind of away from on the field stuff. 1082 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 6: He certainly quite the unique personality. The Heisman Trophy speech 1083 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 6: I know had my wife in tears about fifteen seconds 1084 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,879 Speaker 6: into it. Your interactions with him and just what you've 1085 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 6: observed from him, maybe away from. 1086 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 2: Football, Well, yesterday it was the first time I've ever 1087 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 2: talked to him in person, and I share your thoughts. 1088 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,360 Speaker 2: You know, I watched him, obviously give the Heisman speech, 1089 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 2: and I've seen him interview to other times and seen 1090 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 2: him featured previously and always came away super impressed. I 1091 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 2: don't know how you could be anything, but that was 1092 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 2: just more the same yesterday. It was wonderful to hear 1093 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,720 Speaker 2: his teammates talk about him. You know, it's not phony. 1094 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 2: He's not trying hard to win public affection. You know, 1095 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 2: that's the way he is around them. And you know, 1096 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 2: his three teammates that we talked to in the meeting 1097 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 2: yesterday and his coaches all said the same thing. You know, 1098 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 2: he became a team leader very quickly because of you know, 1099 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 2: his infectious personality and his character, so you know, he's 1100 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 2: the whole package. I think, you know, as you said, 1101 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 2: you could debate is he number one pick the number 1102 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 2: two pick, But I think whoever drafts him is going 1103 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 2: to be awfully happy that they did. 1104 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 4: Sean last one for me. 1105 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 11: And I'm just curious from a broadcasting standpoint, but what 1106 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 11: is the preparation like for a game of this magnitude 1107 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,919 Speaker 11: If you could just kind of take us through your 1108 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 11: behind the scenes becoming the voice of this moment for 1109 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 11: so many people. 1110 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's intense. You know. It would have been a 1111 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 2: little easier for our group if we had the other 1112 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 2: game last night, only because you know, we had had 1113 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 2: both Miami and All miss in this playoff, and we 1114 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 2: had both of them in the regular season. As a 1115 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 2: matter of fact, we turned out to have Miami in 1116 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 2: the most important game of the regular season maybe for 1117 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 2: any team, because we had their opener against Notre Dame, 1118 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,959 Speaker 2: and ultimately that's the game, the win that got them 1119 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 2: into the field ahead of Notre Dame. Had that game 1120 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 2: gone the other way, the Irish I'm sure would have 1121 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,720 Speaker 2: been in in Miami wouldn't have even been in the playoffs. 1122 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 2: You know, we were very familiar with those two teams, 1123 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 2: not anywhere near as familiar with Indiana and Oregon, because, 1124 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 2: as you guys know, maybe see in ESPN, we don't 1125 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 2: have the broadcast rights for the Big Ten anymore. And 1126 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 2: I really miss it, you know, loved going to those 1127 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 2: places and loved Big Ten football and those venues and 1128 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 2: coaches and the people the sid So really miss it. 1129 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 2: But it's been fun to dive back into this. As 1130 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 2: you said, we in Indiana last year, so brought out 1131 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 2: my spotting charts. But going to answer your question here, 1132 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,919 Speaker 2: I've got a ninety eight page press release from ore 1133 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 2: again with all their notes and stats, a huge clip 1134 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 2: file of features about the players and coaches, very similar 1135 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 2: information from Indiana. ESPN has a great research staff that 1136 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 2: helps us. I've watched the regular season game that these 1137 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: two teams played, the two or three recent games that 1138 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 2: they've both played, including the games in the playoff.

You create the 1190 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 6: second cup of coffee. So I'm still wired from last night. Guys, 1191 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 6: I don't know how you felt, but it was. 1192 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 1: Hard to go to sleep best. 1193 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, that was where you know, I was tossing and 1194 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 6: turning a week ago because Michael Shrewsbury should have ended 1195 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,240 Speaker 6: that well, I shouldn't we back on Micah, It shouldn't 1196 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 6: have you know, we should have done something to that rap. 1197 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that. But last night it was. 1198 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,320 Speaker 6: It was epic and that I mean four league changes 1199 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 6: in the final seven minutes of a football game. 1200 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 11: They made a chance to win it after a team 1201 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 11: scored with eighteen seconds. 1202 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 6: Which a college football you don't usually get that right, 1203 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,640 Speaker 6: and that was crazy, and they kind of got the 1204 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 6: Minnie Hail Mary and you know, they had a. 1205 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,360 Speaker 11: Couple of seat balls to get him in position to 1206 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 11: win the game. 1207 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 4: Want to walk off? That was fun. 1208 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 6: And the Carson Beck emotion, Like I'm not a big 1209 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,760 Speaker 6: Carson Beck guy, but I was struck by the emotion. 1210 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 6: And I think he's been probably one of the more 1211 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 6: whatever criticized college athletes that we've had over the last 1212 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 6: year plus. There were a lot of Georgia fans that 1213 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 6: I think were done with him, and we're happy to 1214 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 6: see him move along and James. 1215 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:15,879 Speaker 4: You and I talked to Stephen Holder quite often. 1216 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 6: I think his opinion of Carson Beck this season has 1217 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,440 Speaker 6: been a little bit of a roller coaster at times. 1218 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,399 Speaker 6: I think people have said he's, you know, a game 1219 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:24,240 Speaker 6: manager at best. 1220 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 11: And last night didn't he get sacked on one of 1221 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 11: them and he missed a guy that was wild And 1222 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 11: I was thinking, oh boy, Stephen Holder, I hope you 1223 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,719 Speaker 11: have like a heart medication next to you or you're 1224 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 11: drinking some water here, because I'm like, this has to 1225 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 11: stress you. 1226 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:36,800 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah. 1227 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,280 Speaker 6: And then on that final drive, what four third down conversion? 1228 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 6: Several third and lungs? Yeah, as well to keep things going. 1229 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 5: So he played a terrific game and it was fun 1230 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,359 Speaker 5: to see the emotion between him and Mario crystal Ball 1231 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 5: at the very end there. But also I talked about 1232 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 5: how electric he was and fun to watch. I know 1233 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 5: he didn't win the game last night, but if you're 1234 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,839 Speaker 5: all miss and you got Trinidad Chambliss, don't you feel 1235 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 5: like you're you got a chance to win? 1236 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,319 Speaker 11: Yeah, you do, and he gave him a chance to 1237 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,959 Speaker 11: win certainly. Now my question is now, is he trying 1238 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 11: to get the petitions, trying to. 1239 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 1: Get one more year. 1240 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,839 Speaker 11: You know, we'll see how that shakes out for them 1241 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 11: next year. Otherwise that could change a lot of things 1242 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 11: for ole Miss. But you got to tip your cat 1243 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 11: to a program that has been put through the wringer 1244 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 11: and been under a different type of spotlight because all 1245 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 11: the lang kiff and nonsense. So for the fact that 1246 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,439 Speaker 11: they went out there and we're essentially a play away 1247 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 11: from going to national championship without their head coach who 1248 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 11: ditched them for greener pastors, so to speak, that was commendable. 1249 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's different, but you've talked about it 1250 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 5: all week long, Kevin, the fact that the coordinators for 1251 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 5: Oregon are getting ready to go to new jobs and 1252 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 5: they're going through a similar type thing, although it's a 1253 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 5: little bit different that that ole Miss was going through. 1254 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 1: And yet ole Miss was right there knocking on the 1255 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: door last night. 1256 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 5: What do we expect from Do we have any idea 1257 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 5: what we can expect with with their coordinators having their 1258 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 5: attention divided this past week. 1259 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a huge advantage to Indiana. I guess, 1260 00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 6: you know, it's kind of hard to parse out exactly, 1261 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 6: you know, what the time was for will Stein, the 1262 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 6: offensive coordinator, and their d C and you know exactly 1263 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 6: how much time was split between their new jobs in 1264 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 6: Kentucky and cal versus uh, the actual play calling itself. 1265 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,799 Speaker 6: But yeah, Chambliss, to go back to him for a second, 1266 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 6: I mean, he is a special talent. And that story, 1267 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 6: I mean, that was a likable SEC story. 1268 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 1: By the way, so you. 1269 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 6: Don't live in that country, that part of the country, 1270 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 6: there ain't many likable SEC stories. But I found myself openly, 1271 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 6: first off, I love the Powder Blues. 1272 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 1: I was gonna mention that that that it just adds 1273 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 1: to it. 1274 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 6: I found myself like openly rooting for old miss to 1275 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 6: win that game. 1276 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 4: So yeah, I just. 1277 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 6: You know, Chambliss and you know, Charlie weis junior. I 1278 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 6: guess people are super super high on him, and you know, 1279 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 6: talk about him from an NFL point of view. I 1280 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 6: mean maybe that you know, helped to have him, you know, 1281 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 6: continuing to call plays there. And you know when when 1282 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 6: Lacy ripped off the big run, because Miami really controlled 1283 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 6: so many aspects of the game, time of possession, you know, 1284 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 6: running the football. 1285 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 5: The first time in college football player history, they had 1286 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 5: four drives in the same game of thirteen or more. 1287 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 6: Plays, really yeah, which again, I you know, not to 1288 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 6: get ahead of ourselves, but I can't imagine that being 1289 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 6: the case a week from Monday, and I did not 1290 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 6: feel like a ton of Miami dudes got hurt during 1291 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 6: the game or as I just banged up imagining thing 1292 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 6: and then one of their safeties gets you know, kicked 1293 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 6: out for targeting, and I think that means you're out 1294 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 6: for the first half of the next game if it 1295 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 6: happens in the second half.

Man is 1367 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 5: Pascal Siakam getting it done during this I know it's 1368 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 5: been a long losing streak, but who's honestly how many 1369 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 5: players are playing better night in and night out than 1370 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 5: Pascal Siakam. 1371 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,720 Speaker 1: He's been tremendous.

Aaron Nesmith had sixteen. 1380 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 5: But how about TJ McConnell off the bench twenty three 1381 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,880 Speaker 5: points and eight assists. That was enough to overcome LaMelo 1382 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,840 Speaker 5: Ballu came off the bench because that's how they're doing management. 1383 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 5: Load in Charlotte hit seven threes. He just kept firing 1384 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 5: threes last night. Very talented player, but Shabart the lead there. 1385 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 11: Jeff des Steele the TJ McConnell's Steele that he mcconald 1386 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 11: the Hornets and they got to dub last night. 1387 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 5: I love that he was talking about because right before 1388 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 5: that he had air Bowl to three, remember that. But 1389 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 5: he's like, I'm gonna go fix it, and he said, 1390 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 5: you what. 1391 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 11: The only thing that ever tells me that TJ.

Well, certainly we've talked about it, 1419 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 6: you know, establishing the run game, I think again, getting 1420 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 6: Dante more office spot is really really critical. I think 1421 01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 6: as long as Indiana doesn't have the coverage buster too. 1422 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 4: You know last night we saw it. 1423 01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 6: You know, even in that semi final game, Miami is 1424 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 6: able to strike on that. I think if you're able 1425 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 6: to keep Oregon in the hey, if you're gonna score 1426 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 6: on us, it's got to be the ten twelve play, 1427 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 6: eightyr drive. I'd think Indiana's defense is to sound to 1428 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 6: allow for that. So I would start there as some 1429 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 6: of the keys. 1430 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and what kind of I would expect Fernando Mendoza 1431 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 5: to have a Fernando Mendoza night. 1432 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Just do what he keeps on doing, right. 1433 01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean the last time he played, he had 1434 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 11: more touchdown passes than incompletions. 1435 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Do it again? All right? 1436 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 5: Six thirty year time here on the fan kick at 1437 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,479 Speaker 5: seven thirty.

And that has been that 1467 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,960 Speaker 10: has been the that has been one of the major 1468 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 10: issues we have. I mean, you can go back to 1469 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,720 Speaker 10: twenty one, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, four years, 1470 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 10: we have not finished, and we've got to evaluate and 1471 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,480 Speaker 10: figure out why I'm not gonnaider and say I got 1472 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 10: an answer for that right now, but that that is real, 1473 01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 10: I mean, because we've not we've not finished nine years. 1474 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: Were so trying to figure out why Kevin, well. 1475 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, and again I would point to more of the defenses, 1476 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,240 Speaker 6: the big focus from him yesterday, and that'd be more 1477 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 6: of a wait a minute, is this kind of cleaning 1478 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 6: up your own spilled milk here? 1479 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: All right? 1480 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 5: So that kind of puts a rap on the twenty 1481 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 5: twenty five season for the Indianapolis Cults. We wait now 1482 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 5: over the next couple of months, combine free agency draft 1483 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,400 Speaker 5: and of course no number one, no number first round 1484 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,919 Speaker 5: pick anyway for the Indianapolis Colts this year, James. 1485 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,920 Speaker 1: So they go, they have a lot of figuring out 1486 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 1: to do. That puzzle is going to be complicated to 1487 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: put together. 1488 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 11: Oh absolutely, But whatever you put together, it better be 1489 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,080 Speaker 11: close to a big, real contention. 1490 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 1: All right. 1491 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 5: The NFL rolls on tomorrow without the Colts. The Rams 1492 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 5: play the Panthers in an NFC game at four thirty, 1493 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,160 Speaker 5: and then the Packers and the Bears play at eight pm. 1494 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: What's the key for you and Bears. 1495 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 5: Fans to watch that game yet tomorrow, How do the 1496 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 5: Bears win that against the Packers? 1497 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,080 Speaker 8: Run game, run the ball down their throats, keep the 1498 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 8: Bears defense off the field as long as possible. The 1499 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 8: Bears have been killing the passers in the ground game. 1500 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,120 Speaker 8: Don't take your foot off the break, Ben Johnson. And 1501 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 8: also get off to a hot start. Get a scoring 1502 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 8: drive going to start out the gate, but anung guy, 1503 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 8: Swift Williams, use your legs and the Bear should be okay. 1504 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 1: See he buried the lead again. 1505 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 11: The key to a victory is having Mark Dyke and 1506 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,919 Speaker 11: give the pep yes, they have to play. 1507 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 1: Take the field. 1508 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,240 Speaker 8: I mean, I'll happily do that. I'll fly, you can 1509 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 8: parachute me in. Send the Blue Angels, I'll dive out 1510 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 8: the plane. 1511 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 5: You know his entire spiel with the Lake Michigan after 1512 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 5: He's gonna walk in there with a boom box and 1513 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 5: just play Packer Suck, Packer Suck. 1514 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,840 Speaker 8: I've got mine. I'm allergic to Green Bay's shirt on. 1515 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,360 Speaker 8: I'm ready to roll right. 1516 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: Those are the NFL games tomorrow. 1517 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 5: If you want college basketball, Kevin, we talk about Indiana football, 1518 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 5: but how big is this Indiana Nebraska game down at 1519 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 5: Assembly All tomorrow at noon. 1520 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, they're going to start a stretch here. I think 1521 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 6: it's seven of their next eight Quad one game, So yeah, 1522 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 6: really important. As weird as it sounds, Nebraska basketball would 1523 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 6: be a very very quality win for Eneah quick turnaround, 1524 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 6: I guess from a fandom standpoint, we'll have your coverage 1525 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,160 Speaker 6: over on her sister station, WIBC eleven am again Purdue 1526 01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 6: Penn State before Purdue gets into more of a tougher 1527 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 6: stretch in the Big Ten. Butler's got the weekend off, 1528 01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 6: So a little bit of the college basketball. 1529 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Run and the fight in Micah Shrewsbury's tomorrow. 1530 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 6: Big one, Big one against Clemson. Bratt Brown now has 1531 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 6: been there for fifty years. 1532 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 8: You might be the only person on planet Earth that's 1533 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,600 Speaker 8: watching that over Bears, Packers. 1534 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,720 Speaker 6: ESPNN too, Mark, if you want to switch over during commercials, album. 1535 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 8: Put it on my watch list. 1536 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:31,920 Speaker 1: All right, here we go. 1537 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 5: There's more drama in the Washington Quarterbacks saga. Demian Williams 1538 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 5: Junior says now he will return to play at Washington 1539 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty six. He said that, of course, on 1540 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 5: Instagram last night. 1541 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 11: James after his agent dropped him, so I figured it 1542 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 11: would be training in that direction. But also I do 1543 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,760 Speaker 11: think there is a certain element of when you force 1544 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 11: a player to be a part of your program. Now, great, 1545 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 11: I get it, you want to enforce the contract and 1546 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 11: all that, but how much is he going to help 1547 01:08:58,240 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 11: you if he wanted to leave? 1548 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 4: Interesting dynamic there, I. 1549 01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:02,600 Speaker 6: Didn't roise him and Jed Fish their head coach of 1550 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,679 Speaker 6: the same agent. It makes things awkward real quick. 1551 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,200 Speaker 5: M all right, anything else you guys want to throw 1552 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,920 Speaker 5: in before we move on to uh, maybe some texts 1553 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 5: and feedback from callers in a moment here, the candy 1554 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,000 Speaker 5: stripe pants are on for James Boyd. I know you're 1555 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 5: the only guy here looking like your biggest thing probably 1556 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,520 Speaker 5: the next twenty four hours is the Notre Dame basketball. 1557 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:22,720 Speaker 1: Game, right, Yeah? 1558 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 6: I do want to mention rest in peace to Randy McMillan, 1559 01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:30,759 Speaker 6: former Colts running back passed away yesterday. For those that remember, 1560 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,799 Speaker 6: McMillan was a guy that was part of that transition 1561 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 6: from Baltimore to Indy and really was one of the 1562 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,479 Speaker 6: better runners there in franchise history for quite a while. 1563 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 6: Twenty four touchdowns in six years just under four thousand 1564 01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 6: rushing yards. So rest in peace to Randy McMillan. 1565 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: All Right, more of the Fan Morning Show. 1566 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 5: We'll take some of your feedback on the fan text 1567 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 5: line at a moment two three ninety ten, seventy great 1568 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 5: rakestraw crumbs your way at eight forty five, it's ninety 1569 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 5: three to five and one oh seven to five of 1570 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 5: the fan. It's more of the same, it's more same. 1571 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,639 Speaker 5: It's always I've got to fee figure out how Every 1572 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,800 Speaker 5: year it's we've got to figure out how to finish. 1573 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:06,720 Speaker 5: We've got to figure out how to do this. So 1574 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,720 Speaker 5: there's always a version. And again I said this a 1575 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 5: million times. I like Chris Ballard as a human being. 1576 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 5: I really do. I want it to work out for him. 1577 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,960 Speaker 5: But it's the same thing every year. We've got to 1578 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:18,679 Speaker 5: figure this out. 1579 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, and really the late season collapses. Everyone defined that 1580 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 6: They've been an annual thing throughout this playoff trout. You know, 1581 01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,759 Speaker 6: it's never really been the reverse, like Miami, for example, 1582 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,920 Speaker 6: Miami this year they fire Mike McDaniel, but you know 1583 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:33,840 Speaker 6: they actually played a little better at the end of 1584 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:34,720 Speaker 6: the season for the Colts. 1585 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,200 Speaker 4: Really similar for Atlanta too. 1586 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, Atlanta, Yeah, that is a that's a good point. 1587 01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 6: You know, the Colts really you can look at all 1588 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,679 Speaker 6: of them, and obviously you know the collapses are different. 1589 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 6: But you know twenty twenty two and twenty twenty five 1590 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 6: had the big losing streaks. Twenty twenty one, twenty twenty three, 1591 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 6: twenty twenty four probably more of just a couple of 1592 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 6: games down the stretch that you circled. They meant a 1593 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 6: whole lot for you and you lost them. So those 1594 01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,719 Speaker 6: are probably the two big things. James exiting yes yesterday again, 1595 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,680 Speaker 6: if you can get away from the wait was that 1596 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:07,360 Speaker 6: Mark Plaine audio from the twenty twenty one ballad season 1597 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,439 Speaker 6: under twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, if you can 1598 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 6: get away from that aspect of it, two things from 1599 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 6: me sounded different and or will be emphasized. Defensive personnel 1600 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 6: getting younger, getting faster. That was probably the biggest personnel item. 1601 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 6: And then the other one that you just heard right there, 1602 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 6: and maybe that's not different, but again emphasized of you know, 1603 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,719 Speaker 6: that's more I guess mindset more than anything. 1604 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 1605 01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,879 Speaker 11: And then when you look at the lacks of success 1606 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,639 Speaker 11: in those end of season moments, as you pointed out 1607 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 11: Kevin I think the most glaring part in the response 1608 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 11: to that when we're asking about that is that no 1609 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 11: one can give you an answer as to why it 1610 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 11: keeps happening. Shane Styken couldn't give an answer. He said 1611 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,880 Speaker 11: he has to find one. Chris BALLASAI, he has to 1612 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 11: figure that out. Yeah, Gordon said the same sort of thing. 1613 01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1614 01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,400 Speaker 6: I try to post it to christ yesterday, like do 1615 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 6: you feel like it's culturally because you know, it spans 1616 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 6: multiple coaching staffs. It's not just Shane Stikeen, right, you know, 1617 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,600 Speaker 6: it goes back to Frank Reich, and I felt like 1618 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 6: that was one of those where he it was eventually 1619 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,680 Speaker 6: met with I don't know, and that's something that and 1620 01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 6: again that to me is more of probably you go 1621 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 6: wrung up on the ladder, and that's a Carli Ers 1622 01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 6: Gordon question that you know, I think she's definitely got 1623 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 6: to pose if she hasn't to Chris ballor because that 1624 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,559 Speaker 6: is something that spans his tenure, but also that includes 1625 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 6: multiple coaching staffs. One other thing, which you know is 1626 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,799 Speaker 6: probably one of the biggest one eighties from this season, 1627 01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,799 Speaker 6: Chris did mention we have got to run it better 1628 01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 6: when we want to run it. There might not be 1629 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 6: a bigger one eighty James in this entire season than 1630 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 6: Jonathan Taylor's first half versus second half. 1631 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 4: I would like to know. 1632 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 11: And we'll have plenty of chances to ask these questions 1633 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 11: and follow up at the owners meetings and before the 1634 01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,120 Speaker 11: next season starts, so we'll talk to Chris Baler a 1635 01:12:59,120 --> 01:12:59,719 Speaker 11: few more times. 1636 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 4: I think I skipped a few steps. Actually the combine 1637 01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 4: is one of. 1638 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 1: Them as well. 1639 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:07,599 Speaker 11: But Kevin, I think what I would like to know 1640 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 11: from his perspective is how much do you think the 1641 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 11: run game was affected by the Daniel Jones injury and 1642 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 11: the inability to do some of the more mobile things 1643 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,559 Speaker 11: you wanted to Granted when you had a mobile quarterback 1644 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 11: in the season finale, it still didn't work for you. 1645 01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:25,840 Speaker 11: And then two, do you trust your offensive line to 1646 01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:30,200 Speaker 11: hold up? Because we were ranting and raving about how 1647 01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 11: great they were for the first half of the season, 1648 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 11: and then it changed and you had a couple of 1649 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,639 Speaker 11: injuries along that offensive line and you switched some guys out. 1650 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 11: How much of that do you think that was a factor? 1651 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 11: And how much do you believe in the future of 1652 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 11: your offensive line, because at this point you're changing guys regardless, 1653 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,920 Speaker 11: Tanner BORLINI is your center of the future at right tackle? 1654 01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 11: I would venture to say it's probably Jaalen Travis instead 1655 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,760 Speaker 11: of Braden Smith, who's now friging and likely will not 1656 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 11: be brought back. 1657 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,880 Speaker 4: In my eyes, your. 1658 01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 11: Right guard situation is probably Matt Goganzovaz after you slip 1659 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 11: back inside from right tackle. 1660 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,599 Speaker 4: So are you confident in that unit? 1661 01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 11: And I don't even want to go this far, but 1662 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 11: the coaching of that union, because I think Tony's Frono 1663 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,160 Speaker 11: Junior has proven he's a good coach and has gotten 1664 01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 11: a good amount out of those guys. But yeah, trying 1665 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:18,759 Speaker 11: to figure out the why behind the unsuccessful and really 1666 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,760 Speaker 11: just dreadful second half campaign from Jonathan Taylor because we know, 1667 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,280 Speaker 11: I mean, I get it. He might have pressed a 1668 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,640 Speaker 11: little bit, might not have found every single hole. But 1669 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,800 Speaker 11: let's not act like the guy is washed up or something. 1670 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 11: It ain't him. 1671 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,760 Speaker 5: Chuckley fan text line, real quick, Kevin Moe wants to know. Look, 1672 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 5: Ballard catches a lot of shrapnel, and well deserved, but 1673 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,360 Speaker 5: why isn't there more fire aimed at Stiking? He is 1674 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,600 Speaker 5: the head coach, he's a good oc but he is 1675 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 5: directly involved in the late game collapses and gets put 1676 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,240 Speaker 5: on the back burner because of Ballard. They both deserve 1677 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 5: blame it. Ballard seems to catch it all. Stiking deserves 1678 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,000 Speaker 5: more and gets less. I am also not a big 1679 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,640 Speaker 5: Ballard supporter. But your thoughts on that statement. 1680 01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:57,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there is some truth. I think a 1681 01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 6: lot of that I wouldn't agree with. Stiken deserves more. 1682 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,479 Speaker 6: I think the of the resume is probably the biggest 1683 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 6: reason why I think the Ballad criticism deserves to be 1684 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 6: more than stich In. Again, you can obviously lay blame 1685 01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 6: at both in seven and twenty two against teams above 1686 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 6: five hundred is rough. But you know when you have 1687 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 6: Chris Ballot out there saying the defensive personnel isn't good enough? 1688 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 6: Is that really on chain second? So yeah, I mean 1689 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 6: nine years and three years, that's a big old time difference, 1690 01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:24,240 Speaker 6: big old time difference. 1691 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,840 Speaker 1: All Right, that's it for the cults for this moment. 1692 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:27,160 Speaker 2: Time. 1693 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 5: Well, we will talk to Greg Rakestraw about that. It's 1694 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,280 Speaker 5: one of the as well as few other things coming 1695 01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 5: up in just a moment here.

It's massive for our careers, it's 1710 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 7: massive for the Indiana program, and it's massive for college 1711 01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,720 Speaker 7: football in general. Playing the national Championship semi final game 1712 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 7: is a huge honor somebody you will look back at 1713 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:21,280 Speaker 7: when you're sixty years old or older. It's something that 1714 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,120 Speaker 7: you'll that you've dreamed of when you're a kid, and 1715 01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 7: so it's all about staying in the moment. 1716 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,640 Speaker 5: Hisman Trovi winner Fernando Mendos are ready to lead his 1717 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 5: team into the national semi final tonight at the Peach 1718 01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,080 Speaker 5: Bowl in Atlanta against Oregon.

And that's 1768 01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 9: what makes his genius work is that Indiana just does 1769 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,680 Speaker 9: the same thing and focuses on the same thing and 1770 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,479 Speaker 9: keeps having the same results, which is good for Indian 1771 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,760 Speaker 9: a football fan. So I don't think he changes it 1772 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:12,719 Speaker 9: up a bit. Given the factor on the National semi 1773 01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:13,439 Speaker 9: final to night. 1774 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 6: Rag, we still have a good amount of high school 1775 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 6: games on the schedule for tonight. 1776 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 4: I know some move, but we still got to go 1777 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:18,799 Speaker 4: to Mount. 1778 01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 9: Right correct, And so I think I saw John Harrell, 1779 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,639 Speaker 9: who obviously is the keeper of all of these things. 1780 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,040 Speaker 9: There were originally one hundred and fifty something games on 1781 01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:33,400 Speaker 9: the schedule, and maybe thirty additional games got moved till 1782 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 9: last night. So obviously the biggest one last night that 1783 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,640 Speaker 9: moved was pikeing Fisher's Warren Central Laws North moved to 1784 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,680 Speaker 9: last night. New Albany and Jeff Down South moved last night. 1785 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 9: Cocomo and Logansport moved last night. But I'm working this evening, 1786 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:50,679 Speaker 9: so I'm on opposite the game. I've got North Central 1787 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 9: and Ben Davis a girls and boys doubleheader. So I 1788 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,000 Speaker 9: believe about seventy five percent of the games that were 1789 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 9: scheduling played tonight ended up being played this evening. 1790 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,519 Speaker 6: Rag this question said might have a different answer in 1791 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 6: fifteen days. But if you were to compare the wilder 1792 01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 6: nature Butler's back to back runs to the final game 1793 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,240 Speaker 6: in April or what Indiana football's done. 1794 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 1: I would say Indiana. 1795 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 9: And again, Indiana being in a power conference when Butler 1796 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:23,160 Speaker 9: was not at the time makes Indiana's path to doing 1797 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 9: this easier. But again, we had a history of success 1798 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,559 Speaker 9: with Butler basketball. They made the Sweet sixteen in two 1799 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,599 Speaker 9: thousand and three, they made the Sweet sixteen in two 1800 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 9: thousand and seven, and frankly, Butler's runs came at a 1801 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 9: time where you saw George Mason VCU and others you know, 1802 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 9: at least make runs the final four, if not the 1803 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 9: national championship game. For Indiana, there was nothing heading into 1804 01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 9: Kurt Signetti's first game as the head coach last fall 1805 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 9: that told you anything like this was possible, other than 1806 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 9: him saying produce Butsota's Ohio State and Michigan, and so 1807 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,440 Speaker 9: it's the one thing that is even in the same neighborhood. 1808 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 9: But nothing compares to this rake. 1809 01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:15,840 Speaker 11: Every time I think about this Hoosiers Run, I think 1810 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,400 Speaker 11: of the movie Hoo's Yours, and the premise of that 1811 01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,480 Speaker 11: movie is being sort of the Cinderella, right, the ultimate underdog. 1812 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 11: But that is not what this Indiana team and this 1813 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,280 Speaker 11: program have become. So how do you view it from 1814 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 11: that perspective? I don't know, I'm putting you on the 1815 01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,240 Speaker 11: spot here, but from a movie perspective, it doesn't feel 1816 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:34,080 Speaker 11: like Cinderella to me. 1817 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 9: No, this would be Cinderella if she was blessed and 1818 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:42,840 Speaker 9: Mama said knock you out in her boombutch. This is 1819 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 9: a group that again, and it's and it's why the 1820 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,920 Speaker 9: level of confidence for success is largely high. They're not 1821 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 9: having to out scheme yet, they're not having a trick ya, 1822 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 9: They're they're they're maybe smarter than you, but not trying 1823 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 9: to God smart you. They can pretty much go we're 1824 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 9: gonna run the ball right here and you can do 1825 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,240 Speaker 9: nothing about it. And you're going to try to run 1826 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 9: the ball and you can do nothing about it. And 1827 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,679 Speaker 9: we are going to beat you up and take your will. 1828 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,439 Speaker 9: So it's Cinderella with a mean right hook, is what 1829 01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:11,840 Speaker 9: this is. 1830 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:13,559 Speaker 1: James. Let me ask you. 1831 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,760 Speaker 5: I'm to flip it around just a little bit because 1832 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 5: we've been so and rightfully so positive with Indiana, what 1833 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:20,760 Speaker 5: they've accomplished and what they're doing. 1834 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: Is there anything that worries you for the Hoosiers tonight? 1835 01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:26,559 Speaker 9: I would say the only thing that worries me is 1836 01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,439 Speaker 9: the fact that Oregon has seen them before, and I 1837 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 9: know Indiana won by ten. I know Indiana won at 1838 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 9: their place, and I know that, Frankly, there was a 1839 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,559 Speaker 9: couple of Indiana mistakes that led to Oregon's touchdowns. But 1840 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,640 Speaker 9: at the same time, I think there is something to 1841 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 9: having played Indiana before and having an idea as to 1842 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,879 Speaker 9: what to expect and what you are going to see. 1843 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,840 Speaker 9: So the fact that the Ducks are more familiar with 1844 01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 9: Indiana tells me this is going to be a competitive game, 1845 01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 9: which is why I think, you know, the betting line 1846 01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 9: has been a little bit lower for this one than 1847 01:22:58,479 --> 01:22:59,320 Speaker 9: say other games. 1848 01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,320 Speaker 5: Greg greg Strange joining us on pay Less Slickers Hotline 1849 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 5: thoughts on the Chris Ballard press conference yesterday. 1850 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,799 Speaker 9: Frankly, I've heard this press conference before, and so it's 1851 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:15,040 Speaker 9: why I wasn't as dial entertuned into it. And in 1852 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 9: that scenario, there's he said all the right things you're 1853 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:22,559 Speaker 9: supposed to say. Now it's about backing and up with actions. Now, 1854 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 9: that is the step for this football team. And so 1855 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 9: we'll see what changes getting mad in the offseason in 1856 01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:32,280 Speaker 9: terms of personnel. Obviously, from the sounds of it, sounds 1857 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,880 Speaker 9: like there could be some defensive changes, which are obviously needed. 1858 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,280 Speaker 9: You know, the offensive priorities are pretty cut and dry. 1859 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,680 Speaker 9: Bring back Daniel Jones, bring back Alec Pierce. So I 1860 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,320 Speaker 9: don't think there was anything that shocked me because unlike 1861 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:49,720 Speaker 9: IU football, this is something we have seen before. We've 1862 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 9: heard the script a lot over the course of the 1863 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 9: last several years. 1864 01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:56,960 Speaker 11: RAG last one for me, do you view the pressure 1865 01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 11: on Chris Ballard? And I get it, he's in year 1866 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,479 Speaker 11: two in now, But do you view it any differently 1867 01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,880 Speaker 11: now that for the first time in his tenure he's 1868 01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,879 Speaker 11: entering the last year of his contract without an extension. 1869 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,679 Speaker 9: You know what, I really don't think that's that big 1870 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 9: of a deal. And here's why I mean, we're talking 1871 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 9: about I don't know what Chris's salary is, but it's 1872 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 9: somewhere in the in the single digit millions of dollars. Right, 1873 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 9: two hundred and eighty ish million dollars is what you 1874 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:29,559 Speaker 9: spend on NFL salary in a given year. I really 1875 01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 9: don't think that's the problem. That would be, you know, 1876 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 9: penny wise, pound fool or something along those lines. I 1877 01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,120 Speaker 9: don't think that is a factor in this decision, JB. 1878 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 1: I really don't. Greg. Have a great weekend. 1879 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,080 Speaker 5: Enjoy watching this game tonight and all the things that 1880 01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 5: come over the weekend as well. 1881 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:46,679 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again soon, buddy.

We 1938 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,560 Speaker 6: then made the drive back. Nothing says the college experience 1939 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,160 Speaker 6: like we drove back after IU lost Kentucky and what 1940 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,800 Speaker 6: was a thrilling Sweet sixteen game. I think we got 1941 01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:12,240 Speaker 6: back to Bloomington about ten am. 1942 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:12,719 Speaker 4: In the morning. 1943 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,720 Speaker 6: We left Georgia at like one am, two am something like. 1944 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 4: That, and drove back through the night. 1945 01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 6: And I was thinking, like, if you would have told 1946 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 6: me or told and I'm sure there are other IU 1947 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,639 Speaker 6: fans that made that drive in twenty twelve and are 1948 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:28,160 Speaker 6: now making the drive today or yesterday, because think about it, 1949 01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,759 Speaker 6: Georgia has been a rich city for Indiana University Athletics. 1950 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:33,920 Speaker 6: In two thousand and two, of course, Final four was 1951 01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 6: in there, the iconic run all the way to the 1952 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:39,040 Speaker 6: title game, that twenty twelveeen that got to the Sweet sixteen, 1953 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:40,800 Speaker 6: and now here you are back, not in the Georgia Dome, 1954 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,160 Speaker 6: but you know, in the same general area. And I'm 1955 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 6: trying to think if you would have told an IU fan, 1956 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 6: guys in fourteen years, you're gonna make this drive again 1957 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,639 Speaker 6: to watch the Cream and Crimson, You're gonna pack the suitcase. 1958 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,920 Speaker 6: You're gonna make that drive again. And the response that 1959 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:56,439 Speaker 6: we met with. 1960 01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 4: Oh man, another Sweet sixteen? Oh wait, wait, is it 1961 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,639 Speaker 4: final four? Is it the sixth banner? 1962 01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:03,280 Speaker 9: Is it? 1963 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:04,840 Speaker 1: No? 1964 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 4: No, no, no, It's better. 1965 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:08,760 Speaker 6: I think in a lot of people's eyes, you're going 1966 01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 6: to watch your football program in the Final four and 1967 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,360 Speaker 6: not only gonna watch them. They've got the Heisman Trophy 1968 01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:19,960 Speaker 6: winner and they are the favorite to win the national championship. 1969 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:25,519 Speaker 6: Can you imagine saying that thirteen fourteen. Hell, you mightagine 1970 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:28,320 Speaker 6: saying that thirteen months ago, let alone thirteen years ago. 1971 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:30,160 Speaker 6: But yet that's where we're at right now. 1972 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 11: And that's why I can't say it's a Cinderella story. 1973 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,160 Speaker 11: I think last year felt like that, but this year 1974 01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,479 Speaker 11: they have just dominated team. 1975 01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 6: Yes, Cinderella's got swagger, She's a total package right now. 1976 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,560 Speaker 6: Bu right, Cinderella is She ain't innocent, I guess is 1977 01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,840 Speaker 6: what I'm saying. Right, you might find Cinderella and some 1978 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,240 Speaker 6: other websites out there, right. 1979 01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:53,880 Speaker 11: So, I am very excited for tonight's game, and I 1980 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,200 Speaker 11: think it will certainly provide some lives of memories for 1981 01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,639 Speaker 11: all of us, especially those their boots on the ground. 1982 01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 11: This is the type of stuff that you remember for 1983 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:06,000 Speaker 11: a lifetime. So I can only imagine the eight year old, 1984 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 11: ten year old, twelve year old who's getting that sort 1985 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:09,400 Speaker 11: of trip today. 1986 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 4: Boy, you better thank your parents forever. 1987 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,800 Speaker 1: I was just talking about being in the moment, one 1988 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 1: step in front of the other. But for the sake 1989 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:18,439 Speaker 1: of we're talk radio. 1990 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,960 Speaker 5: If Indiana pulls off the next one hundred and twenty 1991 01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:25,439 Speaker 5: minutes and they go sixteen to er and have the 1992 01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:28,439 Speaker 5: Heisman Trophy winner Kevin Bowen, where does that compared to. 1993 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:30,920 Speaker 1: The seventy five, seventy six who's your team that went 1994 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:32,800 Speaker 1: undefeated and won a national championship? 1995 01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,640 Speaker 6: Oh god, yeah, I mean I guess you know, they 1996 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,920 Speaker 6: put them both up there on the shelf together, right right, 1997 01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:38,679 Speaker 6: you know. 1998 01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:40,400 Speaker 1: But we're talking about Indiana here. 1999 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of you know, I asked Greg Gregstraw 2000 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:43,720 Speaker 6: a few minutes ago, you know, how to compared to 2001 01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:47,240 Speaker 6: the Butler Roun You know, those are all I hesitate 2002 01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:50,200 Speaker 6: with those, And I apologize for asking the question because 2003 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:53,599 Speaker 6: you know, we got the text a few days ago. 2004 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 6: Is this one of the greatest college football teams of 2005 01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,720 Speaker 6: all time? Whenever you get into those discussions, you naturally 2006 01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:05,680 Speaker 6: nitpick the incredible accomplishment. So, you know, I don't know 2007 01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,839 Speaker 6: if it makes for great sports radio, but I don't. 2008 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:10,880 Speaker 1: Know exactly what we do win sports radio. 2009 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:12,840 Speaker 6: I'll probably sit that one out for now and see 2010 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 6: if it happens. And obviously, you know, not being alive 2011 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,360 Speaker 6: for it, and you know, certainly you think back to 2012 01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,800 Speaker 6: the seventy five year and the injury that happened, and 2013 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:23,439 Speaker 6: you know last year's run didn't have necessarily that aspect 2014 01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:26,160 Speaker 6: to it. But again, it is, bar none, one of 2015 01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 6: the greatest stories period in sports. And you know, as 2016 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:32,559 Speaker 6: I've said it all along with Kurt Signetty, it's it's 2017 01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,400 Speaker 6: the greatest coaching job I think in college or pro sports. Frankly, 2018 01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,840 Speaker 6: I think the only thing that would pale in comparison 2019 01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 6: is probably on an Olympic level when you talk about 2020 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,280 Speaker 6: nineteen eighty. 2021 01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,880 Speaker 5: Looking again the basketball team seventy five, seventy six, it's 2022 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:48,920 Speaker 5: the only college basketball team to ever run the table. 2023 01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:50,000 Speaker 1: And win the national championship. 2024 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 5: Only ever that'll always stick out, that'll always stick out. 2025 01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 11: But Quinn Buckner he has I'm looking at it like 2026 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:02,080 Speaker 11: his resume, forget like he went undefeated in high school, 2027 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 11: undefeated in college and won an Olympic gold medal. 2028 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:08,160 Speaker 1: It's a lot of chicken. Yeah. 2029 01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:10,200 Speaker 11: I mean, he's a legend back home in Illinois because 2030 01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,520 Speaker 11: he was a great two sport athlete in football and basketball. 2031 01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 4: So it's kind of funny. 2032 01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 11: It's a full circle moment whenever I see him, because 2033 01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 11: you hear how great his high school teams were. I 2034 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:22,680 Speaker 11: believe his senior year of high school they went undefeated. 2035 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 11: But on top of that, they didn't have a game 2036 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,960 Speaker 11: within fourteen points, so that's pretty crazy. 2037 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:30,679 Speaker 5: Well, like I said, it's still a lot of work 2038 01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 5: to do two full football games. Won football game just 2039 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 5: to get the chance for the second football game, and 2040 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 5: you got to go sixty. 2041 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:40,439 Speaker 1: Minutes tonight, and it's just keep doing what you're doing. 2042 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,680 Speaker 5: That was kind of my point when you're asking what 2043 01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:45,439 Speaker 5: I would say in the pregame, James, just keep doing 2044 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:48,840 Speaker 5: what you're doing. Be physical on both sides of the 2045 01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, which is something they've. 2046 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 1: Been so good at all year long. 2047 01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:56,439 Speaker 5: They have physically been stronger than every team they've played 2048 01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 5: this year. That imposes your will on them, that wear 2049 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,559 Speaker 5: them down. That gives your amazing skill position players on 2050 01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,680 Speaker 5: offense a chance to do things they need to do, 2051 01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:10,680 Speaker 5: and the defense consistently getting off the field keeps them 2052 01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:11,760 Speaker 5: fresh in that fourth quarter. 2053 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:15,920 Speaker 6: Kevin, Yeah, I think you know we've touched on so 2054 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:19,200 Speaker 6: many different keys throughout again, getting Dante more off his spot, 2055 01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,280 Speaker 6: I think is one of the biggest ones for me. Obviously, 2056 01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:24,639 Speaker 6: that involves your defensive line major league, because if there 2057 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,960 Speaker 6: is one, I think, all right, is there any sort 2058 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,280 Speaker 6: of concern as you wake up today? You know, Indiana, 2059 01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:33,000 Speaker 6: there's been whatever four or five times this season where 2060 01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:34,960 Speaker 6: there's been some coverage bust and other times where coach 2061 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,880 Speaker 6: Signetti has spoken to coverage busts of like, hey, we 2062 01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,160 Speaker 6: just got lucky there that the other team didn't recognize it. 2063 01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,519 Speaker 6: And you know, last night was a perfect example. You know, 2064 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:45,479 Speaker 6: Carson Beck hasn't you know, hit a shot all playoff 2065 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 6: long and then all of a sudden boom, Mississippi has 2066 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:48,840 Speaker 6: a coverage bust and Beck hits one. 2067 01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,200 Speaker 1: And I'm curious what that did for Carson. 2068 01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:52,600 Speaker 6: Beck made the rest of the game because then on 2069 01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,120 Speaker 6: that final drive when he's asked to deliver some big 2070 01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 6: time throws on third down, he did that. So I 2071 01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 6: think that is so key number one. And then just 2072 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 6: continue to maintain your balance on offense. I think as 2073 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,040 Speaker 6: long as you do that, you'll be able to you know, 2074 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,160 Speaker 6: put up points, and you know, I'll continue to stress 2075 01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:10,920 Speaker 6: what I've said all along. I just feel like Indiana 2076 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:12,760 Speaker 6: was the much better team in the first matchup, and 2077 01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,360 Speaker 6: that was despite them having season high in penalties, and 2078 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,599 Speaker 6: I don't think I would expect that tonight. I thought Oregon, 2079 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,200 Speaker 6: even though maybe the score did indicated, I thought they 2080 01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 6: had a lot of undisciplined moments in the Texas Tech 2081 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:29,280 Speaker 6: game of their origible appearance there in the quarter finals. 2082 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 6: I'm curious if they have any more of those tonight. 2083 01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:37,519 Speaker 5: Kurt Signetti yesterday meeting with the media at the Peach Bowl, 2084 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,679 Speaker 5: and one somebody asked him, like, coach during the game, 2085 01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,840 Speaker 5: are you ever happy with that that scal that's there 2086 01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:44,679 Speaker 5: all the time? 2087 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,160 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of times I am happy. 2088 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,360 Speaker 3: I just don't show I'm happy. And if I'm going 2089 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:53,599 Speaker 3: to ask my players right to play the first game, 2090 01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:57,240 Speaker 3: first play, to play one point fifty the same, regardless 2091 01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:01,200 Speaker 3: of the competitive circumstances, then I can't be seen on 2092 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:06,360 Speaker 3: the sideline right, high fiving people and celebrating or what's 2093 01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 3: going to happen right, what's the effect going to be? Right? 2094 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:15,000 Speaker 3: So that's why I am like I am during the game. Plus, 2095 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:17,360 Speaker 3: I gotta make important decisions manage a game. These decisions 2096 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,400 Speaker 3: we have to make in terms of games man game management, 2097 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:22,720 Speaker 3: when to use timeout, when not to use time out? 2098 01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,599 Speaker 3: You know, people ask are you do you ever get 2099 01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:28,240 Speaker 3: to enjoy this? And last week I asked Jeff Keke, 2100 01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:29,960 Speaker 3: I said, we just won the game and I got 2101 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:31,920 Speaker 3: ten press conferences I got to do after the game. 2102 01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 3: When am I going to enjoy this? So No, I 2103 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,599 Speaker 3: do smile and I am happy at times. 2104 01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:39,479 Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons I'm so bullish on 2105 01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:40,519 Speaker 1: Indiana tonight. 2106 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 5: His philosophy of keeping it in the moment and just 2107 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:48,240 Speaker 5: this play, I think lends itself to not getting ahead 2108 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:49,559 Speaker 5: like we do this on talk. 2109 01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:51,160 Speaker 1: Radio, because we get ahead of ourselves and we say, 2110 01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:53,120 Speaker 1: what if that's part of what we do. I don't 2111 01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:54,040 Speaker 1: think he worries about that. 2112 01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 5: You just will take care of business right now and 2113 01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 5: then take care of business on the next play, and 2114 01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:03,280 Speaker 5: that leads to first downs, which leads to scoring drives, 2115 01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,479 Speaker 5: and the defensive they just take care of this down 2116 01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 5: and the next down. They just take care of the 2117 01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:10,920 Speaker 5: business that's in front of them right now. 2118 01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:12,559 Speaker 1: James say, they're really good at that. 2119 01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:14,960 Speaker 11: I'm laughing because I can guarantee you Dan Lanning saying 2120 01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 11: the same exact things. But to your point, Jeff, no 2121 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:22,080 Speaker 11: one's probably been able to better execute that than the Hoosiers. 2122 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:23,840 Speaker 4: But also during that. 2123 01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,439 Speaker 11: Answer Kevin, when I was listen, when I was listening 2124 01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:29,760 Speaker 11: to it yesterday, I thought for a second he was 2125 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:33,759 Speaker 11: gonna say, when am I gonna have time to enjoy 2126 01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:35,400 Speaker 11: this because I have ten guys I have to worry 2127 01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:39,000 Speaker 11: about the transfer portal because that, to me is also 2128 01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:42,200 Speaker 11: a big part of this run right now, Like when 2129 01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:46,000 Speaker 11: could he ever really breathe? When after any game? Literally 2130 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 11: after I want to say the new year. The day 2131 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:52,760 Speaker 11: after you advance and beat Alabama, the portal open, and 2132 01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:54,519 Speaker 11: you gotta worry about trying to get new guys in 2133 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:58,760 Speaker 11: here for next year. So yeah, the celebrating it will 2134 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,800 Speaker 11: come at the end. Right now, you got two more 2135 01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:02,840 Speaker 11: wins until you can do that. 2136 01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:04,760 Speaker 6: I need to double check this stat, but I think 2137 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:08,160 Speaker 6: one of the wilder things I've seen on Indiana here 2138 01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:11,439 Speaker 6: this season. They've played what fourteen games? 2139 01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 1: Is that right? 2140 01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:12,559 Speaker 4: Yes? 2141 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 6: So they've played fourteen games, and the stat that I 2142 01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:21,360 Speaker 6: saw is they have been penalized defensively eleven times this season. 2143 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 6: And like when I think of college football, you watch 2144 01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:26,280 Speaker 6: some of these games, I mean, it can be a 2145 01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,439 Speaker 6: penalty fest. I mean last night there were a lot 2146 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:28,880 Speaker 6: of flags. 2147 01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:30,479 Speaker 1: I got a kid thrown out last night. A lot 2148 01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:31,240 Speaker 1: of critical was. 2149 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,120 Speaker 6: Certainly don't you know, don't get me started on the 2150 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,640 Speaker 6: old targeting rule, but you know, you can have a 2151 01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:39,320 Speaker 6: lot of undisciplined nature and a lot of penalties. And 2152 01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:41,120 Speaker 6: when you think about you go over the course of 2153 01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:45,960 Speaker 6: a fourteen game season and you only have eleven defensive penalties, 2154 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,120 Speaker 6: that might not be the sexiest stat in the world. 2155 01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,120 Speaker 1: That might not be something that, you. 2156 01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,160 Speaker 6: Know, whatever, you're going to lead off a story, you're 2157 01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,680 Speaker 6: going to lead off a signetti, you know, interview with 2158 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,840 Speaker 6: But that to me is just the definition of disciplined, 2159 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:03,519 Speaker 6: well coach well executed players that know exactly what their 2160 01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:04,160 Speaker 6: roles are. 2161 01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,840 Speaker 4: All of that and to me, I don't know. 2162 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,559 Speaker 6: That one really stood out to me to describe just 2163 01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:12,519 Speaker 6: how well coached they are. 2164 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:15,719 Speaker 5: And again, I think to your point about getting Dante 2165 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:19,360 Speaker 5: Moore off his spot, he is certainly the key that 2166 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:21,800 Speaker 5: makes that engine run, and they did a really good 2167 01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:24,800 Speaker 5: job of not letting him get comfortable in that first game. 2168 01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:27,599 Speaker 5: And it's to your point of getting him off the spot, 2169 01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,760 Speaker 5: but it's just making sure that he is looking for 2170 01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,320 Speaker 5: whoever's coming next, and that's what he was doing in 2171 01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 5: that first game when he was sacked six times. Every 2172 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:38,080 Speaker 5: quarterback that's alive, I don't care who you are. You 2173 01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 5: get sacked six times, you start looking for guys as 2174 01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:45,320 Speaker 5: you're looking for your wide receivers. James, just instinctively, you're 2175 01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,280 Speaker 5: trying to your body. Your brain's trying to take care 2176 01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 5: of yourself, and you're like, Okay, where's the next hit 2177 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:50,200 Speaker 5: coming from? 2178 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 11: Absolutely, and they will repeatedly hit you, I mean physically, mentally, 2179 01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:59,760 Speaker 11: it doesn't matter. This team is one of the more 2180 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:02,360 Speaker 11: teams you've seen in recent years, which is why they're 2181 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 11: unblemished to this point. 2182 01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,040 Speaker 5: Real quickly to what we've got just a moment here, Kevin, 2183 01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 5: you got the Indiana football game tonight. But did you 2184 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:11,599 Speaker 5: ever in your life think that you'd say to yourself, 2185 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 5: Indiana Nebraska noon on a Saturday, that could be one 2186 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:17,080 Speaker 5: of the biggest games of the year for the Hoosiers. 2187 01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, big one, and it starts stretch for Darren de 2188 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,880 Speaker 6: Breeze and company, where you know, the Big ten. If 2189 01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:23,519 Speaker 6: you look at it right now, you definitely have a 2190 01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,439 Speaker 6: lot of opportunity. And you know, I think it's just 2191 01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 6: important for any to get some of that the non 2192 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,120 Speaker 6: conference you don't have a lot of substance. You know, 2193 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,400 Speaker 6: right now, the only road win is you know, the 2194 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:34,439 Speaker 6: worst team in the Big ten. So yeah, games like 2195 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,320 Speaker 6: this are going to be important for the resume there. 2196 01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,439 Speaker 6: So yeah, that's a quick turnaround, and Don Fisher is 2197 01:38:38,439 --> 01:38:40,840 Speaker 6: gonna do both. John here spoke with us earlier in 2198 01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:42,799 Speaker 6: the week Indiana. We'll get back to blooming ten around 2199 01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,240 Speaker 6: three am.

Just the Iowa State boat race. 2217 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,839 Speaker 11: I think that's the only time they've been yeah defeated 2218 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:31,360 Speaker 11: this year, So yeah, ho home for. 2219 01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:34,719 Speaker 5: Sure, and they once again we knew it was coming, 2220 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:36,599 Speaker 5: but the I don't know that we made a big 2221 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 5: enough deal about it because it probably was forty eight 2222 01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:40,479 Speaker 5: hours later when we got back on the air. But 2223 01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:44,920 Speaker 5: the setting the all time Big Ten assists record. When 2224 01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:47,280 Speaker 5: you think of all the great point guards over the 2225 01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:49,880 Speaker 5: years that have come through the Big Ten, it's hard 2226 01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,639 Speaker 5: to truly put that into perspective, isn't it ab well? 2227 01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:54,320 Speaker 6: And honestly, if you look at it, he's got a 2228 01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:58,200 Speaker 6: chance to, you know, potentially get to Bobby Hurley, which 2229 01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:01,560 Speaker 6: is insane when you think about it. From that aspect 2230 01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:04,640 Speaker 6: to it. They did a really nice shot produe with 2231 01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:06,400 Speaker 6: their game notes they put out there. You know who 2232 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:10,120 Speaker 6: the top assist receivers have been from Brad Smith, and 2233 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,920 Speaker 6: I think obviously you know several are pretty easy to get, 2234 01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:15,559 Speaker 6: the Trey Kauffman Renz, the Fletcher Lawyers, the zach Edies. 2235 01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:17,719 Speaker 6: I want to say four and five on the list 2236 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 6: was Mason Gillis and Lance Jones. I don't know if 2237 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,599 Speaker 6: I would have guessed that if you would have made 2238 01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:25,439 Speaker 6: me name a top five. Certainly Lance Jones one of 2239 01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:28,320 Speaker 6: the biggest assists, one of the biggest shots he's hit 2240 01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,280 Speaker 6: in program history, to kind of ice that Tennessee. 2241 01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:32,280 Speaker 4: Game in the Elite A. 2242 01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:35,280 Speaker 6: But yeah, continues to add to it, and very similar 2243 01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,080 Speaker 6: to Indiana, Purdue is about ready to get into a gauntlet. 2244 01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:39,919 Speaker 6: I think they go out West if I'm not mistaken 2245 01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:42,800 Speaker 6: next weekend. I think they've got Iowa upcoming. Iowa has 2246 01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,280 Speaker 6: been a really nice story here in the Big Ten. 2247 01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,200 Speaker 6: And you know, Purdue from a Big Ten standpoint, they 2248 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,040 Speaker 6: do get Michigan at home, and that is obviously the 2249 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:52,479 Speaker 6: class of the Big Ten right now, has been with 2250 01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 6: Dusty May's done up there in ann Arbor.

With Lane Giffen going to LSU, they weren't 2393 01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,000 Speaker 5: even in the top ten of teams who've lost the 2394 01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:44,320 Speaker 5: most portal players so far. 2395 01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:47,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting, James, That is interesting, all right. 2396 01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:50,280 Speaker 1: More on what we were focused on here. 2397 01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,240 Speaker 5: Last night, the Pacers win one fourteen one to twelve 2398 01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,479 Speaker 5: over the Hornet's. Not only they snap a thirteen game 2399 01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:57,760 Speaker 5: losing streak, but. 2400 01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:02,160 Speaker 1: Rick Carlisle finally gets win number one thousand in KB. 2401 01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:03,200 Speaker 1: We've been waiting on that. 2402 01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:04,920 Speaker 5: For a month, but it was really cool to see, 2403 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:07,880 Speaker 5: and they were able to hold on in the fourth quarter. 2404 01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:10,559 Speaker 5: Where they've been during this losing street giving up big 2405 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:12,200 Speaker 5: runs in the middle of the fourth quarter and late 2406 01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:12,519 Speaker 5: in the third. 2407 01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:14,040 Speaker 1: They did not do that last night. 2408 01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:16,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, some big time plays, you know. 2409 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:18,280 Speaker 6: We'll start with Pascal Siaka on of course had the 2410 01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,840 Speaker 6: eventual game winner, Chijim McConnell with the McConnell, but I 2411 01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:23,840 Speaker 6: thought Aaron Neith Smith also made a really big play 2412 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:27,280 Speaker 6: there late LaMelo Ball tried to throw an alley oop 2413 01:47:28,120 --> 01:47:32,400 Speaker 6: to extend Charlotte's lead in Aaron Nesmith typical Nie Smith fashion. 2414 01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:34,519 Speaker 6: He read it beautifully, went up and got it, and 2415 01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,400 Speaker 6: it was a huge play in helping the Pacers have. 2416 01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,800 Speaker 4: A chance there at the end.

One mistackle, one bad angle, and 2591 01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,080 Speaker 11: he could take it to the crib. And so that 2592 01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:49,280 Speaker 11: element also scares me. If I was able to get 2593 01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:52,760 Speaker 11: through just game breaking plays, he can provide those. 2594 01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:55,120 Speaker 6: They threw a swing pass to him late last night 2595 01:55:55,240 --> 01:55:57,920 Speaker 6: that I swear he caught it eight yards behind the 2596 01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,720 Speaker 6: line of scrimmage, Like it was one of those where 2597 01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:02,240 Speaker 6: they threw it. Even it was clearly a lateral, they 2598 01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:04,960 Speaker 6: threw it way and I'm like, what in the world. 2599 01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:08,240 Speaker 6: And yet I assume they did that on purpose because 2600 01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:11,320 Speaker 6: they know if he can get ahead of steam that angle, 2601 01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:12,360 Speaker 6: the old miss guy thinks. 2602 01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:14,760 Speaker 1: He has on him, he doesn't have game over there. 2603 01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:17,880 Speaker 6: So Malachai Tony special special talent. 2604 01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:22,040 Speaker 5: Well, he got another big college football game tonight, Indiana 2605 01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:24,800 Speaker 5: trying to put their guys on display. 2606 01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,080 Speaker 1: Who do you think statistically has the biggest game for 2607 01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:29,080 Speaker 1: Indiana tonight? 2608 01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:31,960 Speaker 5: Is it gonna be one of the two running backs, 2609 01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:34,920 Speaker 5: one of the three wide receivers. Is it gonna be 2610 01:56:34,960 --> 01:56:37,760 Speaker 5: Ferneto Mendoza just slinging the rock around. What do you 2611 01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:40,880 Speaker 5: think is likely to really might roll with Roam and 2612 01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:42,880 Speaker 5: him to get it done. Yeah, I think running the 2613 01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:45,240 Speaker 5: ball you're in for one hundred and eleven yards against 2614 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:46,760 Speaker 5: Oregon the last time they played. 2615 01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:51,080 Speaker 4: You know, also, I mean I not him personally, but 2616 01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:52,680 Speaker 4: because Timar Cooper Junior having a. 2617 01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:56,640 Speaker 11: Big game, he was relatively quiet last game was Silkock 2618 01:56:56,720 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 11: touchdown pass. I don't want to just credit that, but 2619 01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:00,480 Speaker 11: he's another one who could have a big moment. 2620 01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:02,320 Speaker 6: You know what I really like for Iu is the 2621 01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:06,440 Speaker 6: is the tight end thirty number thirty seven Riley and Noakowski. 2622 01:57:06,840 --> 01:57:11,160 Speaker 1: That dude he has not maybe built like your. 2623 01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:14,880 Speaker 6: Normal power forward tight end, but that dude is if 2624 01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:17,960 Speaker 6: I could quote Chuck Bagano rolling ball of butcher knives 2625 01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:20,360 Speaker 6: trying to tackle him. I've always saw this way, like 2626 01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:23,360 Speaker 6: when opponents tackle Moali Cox. I swear if you had 2627 01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:25,760 Speaker 6: to look at it, I think Moali Cox causes a 2628 01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:28,320 Speaker 6: defensive injury on thirty percent of the times he gets tackled, 2629 01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:30,760 Speaker 6: like dudes just get hurt. And I feel like with 2630 01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:33,720 Speaker 6: that Noakowski, dude, he provides that. And again when Indiana 2631 01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:35,880 Speaker 6: so many weapons, he's made some huge plays for them 2632 01:57:35,920 --> 01:57:36,320 Speaker 6: this season. 2633 01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:36,840 Speaker 4: Just kind of. 2634 01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:38,960 Speaker 6: Forgotten about a bit here. And you know, I'll go 2635 01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:41,320 Speaker 6: back to the thing I've said all week long. You know, 2636 01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:44,480 Speaker 6: if you go, if you you know, look at the 2637 01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:49,240 Speaker 6: first matchup, Charlie Becker didn't have a catch and the 2638 01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:51,520 Speaker 6: Elijah Suratt and you know, if you remember correctly in 2639 01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:53,760 Speaker 6: that game, remember the third down back shoulder to Surat 2640 01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:55,960 Speaker 6: that ended up being the game when he touchdown. Yep, 2641 01:57:56,520 --> 01:57:59,440 Speaker 6: you know, Sarat was just a dude in that game. 2642 01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:01,720 Speaker 6: And you know Sarratspin a dude. You know, fifty to 2643 01:58:01,760 --> 01:58:04,160 Speaker 6: fifty is ninety ten. Don't they call him waffle house 2644 01:58:04,200 --> 01:58:08,000 Speaker 6: for a reason there, you know, So that injury to 2645 01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:11,640 Speaker 6: allow Charlie Becker to be called upon, I think it's 2646 01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:14,760 Speaker 6: been huge because you know, Oregon's got some very impressive corners. 2647 01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:16,720 Speaker 6: I forget the kid's name, but I think he had 2648 01:58:16,760 --> 01:58:19,600 Speaker 6: the pick six of Mendoza. But he also made some 2649 01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:21,640 Speaker 6: big plays against sex as Tech. But you know, the 2650 01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:24,280 Speaker 6: further you get into that depth chart, you know, okay, 2651 01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:27,080 Speaker 6: Charlie Becker is going against who who's your third corner? 2652 01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:32,280 Speaker 6: You know that is and has been advantage Indiana here throughout. 2653 01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:36,360 Speaker 6: So obviously another key key item too, I think Indiana 2654 01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:38,200 Speaker 6: being a better football team than they were even back 2655 01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:39,440 Speaker 6: in early October. 2656 01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:43,280 Speaker 5: Seven thirty tonight kickoff six thirty year time here at 2657 01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:44,920 Speaker 5: ninety three five one oh seven.

And yet he's adapted with 2699 02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:42,440 Speaker 6: the times. You know, I think, you know, you can 2700 02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:45,480 Speaker 6: get coaches and maybe a little bit stubborn in their ways, 2701 02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:46,800 Speaker 6: and he's been super adaptive. 2702 02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:50,280 Speaker 4: And certainly I think this Pacers team went. 2703 02:00:50,240 --> 02:00:53,880 Speaker 6: Healthy shows that.

I'm most excited to watch this. 2735 02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:11,280 Speaker 5: Of all the games this weekend, this is the one 2736 02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:14,360 Speaker 5: that is just injected into my veins again and again 2737 02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:14,720 Speaker 5: and again. 2738 02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:18,400 Speaker 6: What if I said I was most excited to watch 2739 02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:20,600 Speaker 6: Panthers Rams just just a total curve ball? 2740 02:02:21,160 --> 02:02:22,960 Speaker 4: Yeah? He who cares about the National semi final? 2741 02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:23,360 Speaker 2: Indiana? 2742 02:02:23,680 --> 02:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Give an answer for this? Is it just default the 2743 02:02:26,200 --> 02:02:27,000 Speaker 1: most exciting game? 2744 02:02:27,200 --> 02:02:29,360 Speaker 6: I'm going to say, I think it's rather obvious. I 2745 02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:31,360 Speaker 6: guess if you're only going to make me pick an 2746 02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:35,280 Speaker 6: NFL game, I will say the most entertaining game would 2747 02:02:35,280 --> 02:02:37,400 Speaker 6: be forty nine Ers Eagles. I'm not sure the last 2748 02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:40,600 Speaker 6: time we've had a defending National champion, defending Super Bowl 2749 02:02:40,640 --> 02:02:43,120 Speaker 6: champion shows you how much we've talked that's been talked 2750 02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:47,520 Speaker 6: about less. Like the Eagles feel like are an afterthought. 2751 02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:51,040 Speaker 6: Nobody thinks they're going to get on a run. And 2752 02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:54,080 Speaker 6: I'm kind of like, what are we just overlooking them? 2753 02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:54,760 Speaker 2: Have we just. 2754 02:02:54,840 --> 02:02:58,560 Speaker 8: Overlooked the entire Nick Sirianni era, Yeah, I mean they 2755 02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:01,360 Speaker 8: got booed at home. I'm Black Friday, and You're like, Wow, 2756 02:03:01,360 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 8: the wheels are really falling off this Eagles team despite 2757 02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:05,920 Speaker 8: being a few games above five hundred, and I think 2758 02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:08,040 Speaker 8: everybody's just like, yeah, they're just kind of limping in. 2759 02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:10,400 Speaker 8: They kind of gave away the opportunity to get the 2760 02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:13,960 Speaker 8: second seed in the season finale against the Commanders. They're like, Okay, 2761 02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:16,000 Speaker 8: I guess they're comfortable playing them. 2762 02:03:16,120 --> 02:03:16,960 Speaker 1: So last time we. 2763 02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:19,600 Speaker 5: Saw them to the playoffs, they just destroyed the Kansas 2764 02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:20,080 Speaker 5: City Chief. 2765 02:03:20,200 --> 02:03:22,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, so it most entertain for me. I'll go Eagles 2766 02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:25,400 Speaker 6: forty nine Ers. That is the Sunday four thirty Fox game. 2767 02:03:25,880 --> 02:03:28,480 Speaker 11: I gotta go Bears Packers because of the hatred that 2768 02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:31,320 Speaker 11: I know my family has for the Packers and my 2769 02:03:31,480 --> 02:03:34,840 Speaker 11: extended family being Mark Dyton as well, So that one 2770 02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:39,200 Speaker 11: should be drawing some great reaction win or loss from 2771 02:03:39,760 --> 02:03:41,480 Speaker 11: the boyd and extended family household. 2772 02:03:41,640 --> 02:03:43,960 Speaker 5: So I will say this, I could change my most 2773 02:03:45,320 --> 02:03:48,320 Speaker 5: excited to watch game to this one if you come 2774 02:03:48,440 --> 02:03:51,720 Speaker 5: up with the live stream in Mark Dyton's family, right. 2775 02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:53,520 Speaker 8: I'm not ruling it out. I don't know if Ashley 2776 02:03:53,520 --> 02:03:55,920 Speaker 8: and the girls want me live streaming, but I just 2777 02:03:55,960 --> 02:03:59,160 Speaker 8: want to see your reaction. It'll be parental advisory most likely, 2778 02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,360 Speaker 8: because I'm sure they'll be some four letter words for sure. 2779 02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,200 Speaker 8: Of course, it's the most exciting Bears Packers. For me, 2780 02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:07,600 Speaker 8: that's where it's gotta go. Bears should beat them. If 2781 02:04:07,640 --> 02:04:10,000 Speaker 8: they don't, I'm assuming the defense is falling apart. But 2782 02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:13,640 Speaker 8: the Jordan Love and the Packers have lost four straight. 2783 02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:15,480 Speaker 8: They're kind of limping in the playoffs. I know the 2784 02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:17,480 Speaker 8: Bears have lost too in a row. But run the 2785 02:04:17,560 --> 02:04:19,920 Speaker 8: ball down their throat like you've done the last two games, 2786 02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:21,960 Speaker 8: and I think you'll be Okay. Don't overthink this one, 2787 02:04:22,360 --> 02:04:25,320 Speaker 8: Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. It's your time to shine. 2788 02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:27,640 Speaker 1: Think about that. The two teams have combined to lose 2789 02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:30,040 Speaker 1: six games in a row and the playoffs very weird. 2790 02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:32,920 Speaker 8: Wow, all right, easiest game, let's go there. 2791 02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:33,200 Speaker 1: Next? 2792 02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:35,280 Speaker 8: Easiest is it Rams Panthers? 2793 02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think it's easiest. 2794 02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:39,360 Speaker 6: I mean from a coverage standpoint, Mark, I mean I 2795 02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:42,720 Speaker 6: would take the Panthers in those points, I mean ten 2796 02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:45,240 Speaker 6: and a half. Yeah, that is a huge jump, a 2797 02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:47,000 Speaker 6: huge number in the playoffs, let alone, they're. 2798 02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:49,400 Speaker 8: The home team, so and they beat them earlier this season. 2799 02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:51,760 Speaker 6: And jeff Rickord's gonna be front and center, right, Yeah, 2800 02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:53,080 Speaker 6: you're gonna be there. 2801 02:04:53,400 --> 02:04:55,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna be there a little bit of Jews 2802 02:04:55,080 --> 02:04:57,120 Speaker 5: right there, right, and I'll probably get in trouble, So 2803 02:04:57,200 --> 02:04:58,400 Speaker 5: don't tell anybody in Charlotte. 2804 02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:01,000 Speaker 1: I said this, I feel like the Rams are going 2805 02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:01,400 Speaker 1: to roll. 2806 02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:01,800 Speaker 4: In this game. 2807 02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:03,760 Speaker 8: Boy, so he was ending this audio off. 2808 02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:07,400 Speaker 5: Now, I want the Panthers to do well. I just 2809 02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:09,400 Speaker 5: don't know if they're ready for this moment. And I 2810 02:05:09,480 --> 02:05:12,240 Speaker 5: think the Rams. The Panthers beat him earlier this year, 2811 02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:15,080 Speaker 5: and again it was one of the I get it, 2812 02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:17,360 Speaker 5: and that's why they're in the playoffs. And they've had 2813 02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:18,720 Speaker 5: some big wins this year. I mean, they beat the 2814 02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:21,840 Speaker 5: Green Bay Packers earlier this year. They've had some big wins, 2815 02:05:21,920 --> 02:05:24,880 Speaker 5: but they've also had some rough losses. I just don't 2816 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:28,240 Speaker 5: know if they're quite ready yet. So to me, that's 2817 02:05:28,280 --> 02:05:29,280 Speaker 5: the easiest game of the year. 2818 02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:32,920 Speaker 8: I'm gonna say my easiest win is Texans Steelers. I 2819 02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:35,520 Speaker 8: think the Texans are going to roll against the Steelers. 2820 02:05:35,560 --> 02:05:37,920 Speaker 8: I know bias, I know I don't like Aaron Rodgers, 2821 02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:40,000 Speaker 8: but I also think that Texans defense is rounding in 2822 02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:43,120 Speaker 8: the form. They've got Casy Stroud back Nico Collins should 2823 02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:43,840 Speaker 8: be ready to roll. 2824 02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:48,240 Speaker 1: I think that they are going to be rolling against Pittsburgh. 2825 02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:51,240 Speaker 6: See that's my hardest mark, I really you know, that 2826 02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:53,760 Speaker 6: environment on Monday night is going to be absolutely rocking. 2827 02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:56,720 Speaker 6: And I know Houston's won some home playoff games or 2828 02:05:56,760 --> 02:05:59,600 Speaker 6: won some playoff games, I should say, and that defense, 2829 02:05:59,640 --> 02:06:01,520 Speaker 6: but still, you know, winning on the road is just 2830 02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:02,880 Speaker 6: a little bit of a different animal. 2831 02:06:03,440 --> 02:06:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think CJ. 2832 02:06:04,760 --> 02:06:07,760 Speaker 6: Stroud's been maybe as clean and as smooth as you 2833 02:06:07,840 --> 02:06:09,640 Speaker 6: would like for him to be. 2834 02:06:10,000 --> 02:06:13,280 Speaker 1: So that one is just a toss up for me. 2835 02:06:13,360 --> 02:06:16,080 Speaker 1: Three point favorite Houston, Yeah. 2836 02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:18,520 Speaker 5: Eagles forty nine ers for me, I know Philadelphia is 2837 02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:21,080 Speaker 5: five and a half point favorites. That's the hardest one 2838 02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:22,680 Speaker 5: for me to call because I could see the forty 2839 02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:25,160 Speaker 5: nine ers pulling that off. When we're talking about Eagles 2840 02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:27,560 Speaker 5: disrespect just a moment ago, I feel like the forty 2841 02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:30,120 Speaker 5: nine ers finally have all cylinders fire and they got 2842 02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:32,040 Speaker 5: everybody healthy. I think Kittle are going to play in 2843 02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:35,600 Speaker 5: that game. A lot of Yeah, this is gonna be 2844 02:06:35,640 --> 02:06:37,640 Speaker 5: a really crazy game. But if the Eagles win that one, 2845 02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:39,360 Speaker 5: and they win it conventioningly and they cover that five 2846 02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:41,440 Speaker 5: and a half, they could be on a nice little 2847 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:42,840 Speaker 5: run right back to where they were last year. 2848 02:06:42,960 --> 02:06:43,200 Speaker 1: James. 2849 02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:46,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, so my easiest because you all skipped over me. 2850 02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:51,200 Speaker 4: You're rude. I would go with Rams Panthers because of that. 2851 02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:52,920 Speaker 4: The biggest bread and then. 2852 02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:56,640 Speaker 11: The hardest one for me will probably be Buffalo and 2853 02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:58,960 Speaker 11: the Jaguars. I think the Bills are the best player 2854 02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:00,720 Speaker 11: in the playoffs, but the jab wasn't playing some of 2855 02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:03,400 Speaker 11: the best football, and the Bills are favored by one 2856 02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:05,800 Speaker 11: and a half. I just don't trust that line and 2857 02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:08,520 Speaker 11: I don't really trust the Bill's defense, so that should 2858 02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:09,840 Speaker 11: be a sort of a toss up for me. 2859 02:07:10,040 --> 02:07:12,080 Speaker 8: I co signed with James on that one because this 2860 02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:14,040 Speaker 8: should be the year for the Bills because it's so 2861 02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:17,240 Speaker 8: wide open. There's no Patrick Mahomes, the Ravens are out, 2862 02:07:17,440 --> 02:07:19,400 Speaker 8: the Bengals are out. Isn't like you would think it's 2863 02:07:19,440 --> 02:07:21,600 Speaker 8: their time to shine, and boy, I don't know if 2864 02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:23,000 Speaker 8: they're going to get out of this first round. 2865 02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:26,520 Speaker 6: I wins one award and all of a sudden he starts. 2866 02:07:26,280 --> 02:07:27,360 Speaker 4: Demanding things on there. 2867 02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:29,400 Speaker 11: Okay, it's pretty big a war. Let me know you 2868 02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:31,840 Speaker 11: when your one award there, Kevin Bowen. 2869 02:07:31,680 --> 02:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Wow, Jesus, you're catching no that was actual. 2870 02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:40,840 Speaker 4: Weekend. Damn that was a little mean. 2871 02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:45,240 Speaker 1: Oh that's to say they skip him over for lose my. 2872 02:07:45,240 --> 02:07:49,080 Speaker 4: Babysitting privileges the ego. Maybe I'm not all right. 2873 02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:53,240 Speaker 5: Let's get down of brass tacks. Predictions for the game 2874 02:07:53,360 --> 02:07:55,520 Speaker 5: tonight Indiana Oregon. 2875 02:07:55,320 --> 02:07:56,240 Speaker 1: At the Peach Bowl. 2876 02:07:56,480 --> 02:08:02,320 Speaker 4: James I you twenty seven Oregon twenty three. 2877 02:08:03,840 --> 02:08:07,320 Speaker 6: Kevin Bowling, Yeah, I'll go twenty four to sixteen Hoosiers. 2878 02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:11,600 Speaker 8: Mark Dyton twenty eight, twenty seven Indiana. 2879 02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:13,160 Speaker 1: Ooh, you went that close game. 2880 02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:13,400 Speaker 2: Huh. 2881 02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:16,040 Speaker 4: I'm going sign up for that, Mark. 2882 02:08:16,040 --> 02:08:17,280 Speaker 6: If you can tell me it's gonna be as epic 2883 02:08:17,320 --> 02:08:18,920 Speaker 6: as last night, I know. 2884 02:08:19,320 --> 02:08:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to go the exact same score they had 2885 02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:24,400 Speaker 1: in the regular season, thirty to twenty. IK. 2886 02:08:24,520 --> 02:08:26,360 Speaker 5: Indiana is a better team. I think the only reason 2887 02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,360 Speaker 5: that game was close last time was because of the 2888 02:08:28,440 --> 02:08:31,200 Speaker 5: pick six.
