00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 5: And bry Indiana is one of those teams that doesn't

20
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 5: make as many as most of.

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,360

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,760

Speaker 8: Before the game's overdone, Kurtziggetti is smiling.

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 9: Well, there's nothing like having a home semi final game.

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: I guess we finally got a lot figure now right there.

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 5: There are no fans like Indiana. Who's your fans? Oh,

42
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,280

Speaker 5: walked in the office here on this Monday morning, a

52
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,119

00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 6: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 10: It was the rare time I've ever seen you check

62
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 10: me up and down. I've never seen that before, but

63
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 10: I think you were like pants too. Okay, nice change

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,000

00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 5: see on the YouTube, it.

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,560

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 10: the greater has a giant cheese, greater as the A

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 10: in it. So awesome, awesome night. I didn't even explain,

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 10: like you said, it was a roller coaster. I apologized

73
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 10: ahead of time for my Twitter feed, But yeah, that

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 10: was a It was a horrible first half and then

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 10: I don't know what happened. They turned it on once

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 10: again and it could not have happened to a better team.

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 10: So very very happy for my bears, my Packers' friends

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 10: who were talking a lot of junk in the first

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 10: half when radio is silent the rest of the night

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 10: until you.

81
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 5: Gave them the Ben Johnson handshake. Is what you did

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: after the game. There a good Monday morning to everybody

83
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: out there. Good Monday morning to Mark James Boyd, Good

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 5: Monday morning to you. You know, when I went to Indiana,

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 5: I was always struck by at every turn of the corner.

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 5: I could not believe how many Chicago suburb individuals I

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 5: was running into. I mean, I swear they were everywhere.

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: And it probably was at a time when like the

89
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: Bears and Cubs are actually kind of good, So you

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: know that probably played into it because they were loud

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 5: and they were proud. And that's all I can think

92
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 5: about today, on this Monday morning, is if you ride

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: the fandom of Indiana University and the Chicago Bears, can

94
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: you imagine the highs that you reached on Friday night, Hell,

95
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 5: the high of the first play of the game, and

96
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: then the absolute roller coaster of what you went through Saturday,

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: all capped by a special fourth down play and one

98
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 5: of the greatest handshakes I've seen in sports.

99
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you probably woke up floating today like

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 9: you had for the last couple of days after something

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 9: like that.

102
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: I will say IU has.

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 9: Done very good at not giving you a heart attack

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 9: when you're watching them. But I would say the Bears,

105
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 9: that's kind of in their m mark where they get down,

106
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 9: they come back, and they've done it all year. And boy,

107
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 9: I think that game was over and it wasn't. So

108
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 9: I had to, I guess snitch on myself to freezing

109
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 9: Cold Takes on Twitter and tell them, hey, I made

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 9: another mistake here. But it was fun to watch that

111
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 9: And honestly, this is why I could never bet. Could

112
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 9: you imagine betting on that game for the Packers to

113
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 9: win and they lose in that fashion? Oh my goodness

114
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 9: is it for IU. I was talking to with my

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 9: buddies yesterday and they were saying, you could have just bet, like,

116
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 9: you know, the house on them because they covered so easily,

117
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 9: and honestly, they over the spread so well that you

118
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 9: probably could have doubled it.

119
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: What a wildcard weekend it was. We'll talk about all

120
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 5: of it. The Pacers have a two game win streak

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 5: is crazy as that sounds. The biggest news of the

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: weekend by the way it might be, They're actually peacock tonight.

123
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: So for those that are watching the Pacers Night seven

124
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 5: thirty with Boston, that's a peacock game. So put them

125
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 5: on National TV, Michael Grady and Robbie Hummel in town

126
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 5: for a little peacock action for the Pacers and Celtics.

127
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: No Jalen Brown, it sounds like for the Celtics in

128
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 5: that one. But you obviously start with that intro that

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 5: Mark Dyton cooked up there and and you know, I

130
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: said to Marcus the intro play because that was the

131
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: first time I had heard Don Fisher's highlights and at

132
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 5: some point I want to go back to that opening

133
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 5: play because I was immediately struck by the sheer crescendo

134
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: of the crowd before the stat and ESPN did a

135
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 5: wonderful job Friday night panning to what that atmosphere was,

136
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 5: and from talking with people that were there, I don't

137
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 5: want to put it on a Keith Smart level. And

138
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 5: I know for a lot of people the climactic end

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: of the game Christian Watford shot, but I don't know

140
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: for this generation, if you will that DiAngelo pons picks

141
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: six as weird as that sounds the first play of

142
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 5: a game. When Orgon comes down scores right after that,

143
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: that will be a moment in a play. I think

144
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: Indiana fans will hold in right on that tier just

145
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 5: below the key smart Christian wolfers shine hell for some

146
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: that were there. Probably the Ponds pick six will be

147
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: right up there. I just I said to Maddie as

148
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: soon as that, as soon as he caught the ball,

149
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: igo game over. Like it is over. Teams just collapse

150
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 5: against Indiana, and you watched Oregon absolutely melt the rest

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: of the way. What a moment, what a play in

152
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 5: the story continues now a week from Monday, down in

153
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: South Beach.

154
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I no, DeAngelo Pons is undersized for NFL standards,

155
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 9: but for a guy who's always around the ball, he

156
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 9: is certainly making himself some money when it comes to

157
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 9: raising his draft stock. I think that Get can play

158
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 9: on Sundays and play very well on Sundays.

159
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: Team seems to stop throwing at him, right, I think.

160
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 9: So too, But honestly, I think that goes back to one.

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 9: It wasn't a great throw from Dante Moore. Honestly, he

162
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 9: played so poorly. I was thinking to myself, like, would

163
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 9: you go back to school after what we just saw. Now,

164
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 9: granted one game versus the whole season, versus I can

165
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 9: make probably millions guaranteed if I go pro, which is

166
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 9: still more than nil. That's a lot of factors to consider.

167
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 9: But wasn't the greatest throw? And as you said, why

168
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 9: I keep throwing at him? And then I was thinking,

169
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 9: you know, Curtsingnetty always talks about how much they watch

170
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 9: film and break down film and whatever they do is

171
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 9: based off of the film. Was that not one of

172
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 9: the best film study plays you've probably seen? It looked

173
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 9: like he knew the play was coming and jump throughout

174
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 9: caught it, and like you said, THEO of the crowd,

175
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 9: And yeah, I have a couple of buddies that went

176
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 9: and friends that went. One of my friends she has

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 9: basically been to every Playoff game so far, and she's

178
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 9: been posting videos of it. And even if you hear

179
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 9: it in your headphones, if you're like trying to listen

180
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 9: to it on your phone, it gets so loud that

181
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 9: it hurts, and I can only imagine how it was

182
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 9: in person. So that was really cool to see. And again,

183
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 9: you forget that the game was seven to seven because

184
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 9: it ended the way it did.

185
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, and six touchdowns by six different players to start.

186
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 5: Elijah Surratt, you know, once again showing why the nickname

187
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: waffle house is uber fitting for him.

188
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 8: Boy.

189
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 5: Charlie Becker once again makes a play Indiana runs it.

190
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 5: The Mendoza stat line is a video game. More touchdowns.

191
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 5: Every time I see the stat I initially read it

192
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: as more touchdowns and interceptions. I forget that. I don't

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 5: think my brain is wired frankly to read it as

194
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: he once again, for the fifth time the season had

195
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: a game with more touchdowns than incompletions. Yeah, and this

196
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: is against Oregon, not against you know, Romeoville High.

197
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, some directional school or something.

198
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 5: I mean, it is just absolutely absurd. And I think

199
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 5: one of the things we can get into today is

200
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 5: since being the number one seed, since Fernando Mendozo won

201
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: the Heisman Trophy, they have said, hey, our game was

202
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: at this level and now we're taking it up one, two, three,

203
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 5: however many notches you want to call it, That to

204
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 5: me maybe stands out the most. Obviously, the runs a movie.

205
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 5: It's incredible, all of it, but the fact that they

206
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 5: have gotten into the playoff. Mendoza has shown none of this, like,

207
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, it's like being on the front cover

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: of Madden. You know, the Heisman curse has been there.

209
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: Indiana has not rested on its laurels or the Ohio

210
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: State game was the biggest winning program history, and we're

211
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: just content to be there. No, no, no, they have

212
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: absolutely been. They've been as dominant of a college football

213
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 5: playoff team as we've seen in quite some time. While

214
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: you know, so many of these other games obviously will

215
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 5: miss Miami. Last year of the semi final games were

216
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 5: such great, great games, and they've just taken it to

217
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 5: another level. Zach Osman, who's there. He's going to join

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 5: us eight o'clock. We'll have Mark you said, Trent Green

219
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 5: going to join us later in the week.

220
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 7: Is that right?

221
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 6: The plan right now is Wednesday, Yeah, okay.

222
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 5: Former Indiana quarterback will certainly sprinkle in plenty of Indiana guests.

223
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 5: I believe JMV will be in roots this weekend. Down there.

224
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 5: Bullseye will have you covered ticket prices. I do want

225
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: to go over those at some point later today. I

226
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 5: did see they leveled a bit. Now I say leveled

227
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: a bit, and obviously it's still a comma and you're

228
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 5: going to be north of three thousand here, but we'll

229
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: go over that for people that are curious. On that end,

230
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 5: I saw Mark Cuban was tweeting about tickets last How

231
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 5: about Cuban making the rounds on Friday night down there.

232
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was.

233
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: Definitely a pretty popular guy.

234
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 9: But that's what happens when you're a billionaire and you

235
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 9: give a lot of money to the university that is

236
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 9: now rolling.

237
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 5: Mark, did you really think there was a chance.

238
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: No, I Ashley looked at me at halftime show.

239
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 10: You look so sad. I'm like, I'm just depressed. This

240
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 10: game is very depressed. I can't imagine what's going on.

241
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 10: And then I was like just getting the end zone

242
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 10: and feel like every time they tried to get the

243
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 10: end zone to drive would just dismantle. They'd have to

244
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 10: settle for a field goal. But they finally got in,

245
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 10: and all of a sudden, I was like, Okay, it's

246
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 10: not the end of the world here, And all of

247
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 10: a sudden, the offensive for the Packers was sputtering and

248
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 10: was all over after that. So an epic collapsed by

249
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 10: the Packers could not happen to a better team and

250
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 10: fan base.

251
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 6: And yeah, that felt like a Super Bowl victory right

252
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 6: there on Saturday night.

253
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 5: Bears Rams coming up this weekend. It's the Bears in

254
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 5: the NFC West. That is what is left. It was

255
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 5: an incredible wildcard weekend. Mike Tarico had the stat last

256
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: night before the Patriots got it to two scores with

257
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 5: the Chargers. Patriots won that game. I think he had

258
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: said we were at eleven straight quarters of one possession

259
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 5: football yesterday. So you go back to Bill's Jags to

260
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 5: start the day. The second game, the forty nine Ers

261
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 5: with a torn achilles for George Kittle, they upset the Eagles.

262
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I cannot recall the last time we've had

263
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: that great theater across all these games. We'll get one

264
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 5: more tonight, Texan Steelers. That is a three point road favorite,

265
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 5: the Houston Texans. So again, the matchups we know so

266
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 5: far for a division round weekend, we're still waiting kicktimes. Saturday,

267
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 5: you'll have Bills at Broncos. I think the Bills are

268
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 5: a slight favorite. The Seahawks will host the forty nine Ers.

269
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: They are a touchdown favorite. Marks Bears will play again

270
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 5: hosts to the Rams, and then it'll either be Texans

271
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 5: or Steelers traveling to Foxborough to take on the New

272
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 5: England Patriots. We got a million things to get to

273
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 5: on this Monday morning, and we got plenty of time

274
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 5: to do it. Kevin Bow and James Boyd Mark diked

275
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 5: in with you ninety three five on a seven to

276
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: five of the Fan.

277
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: They see st a fan morning show with KB, KB

278
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: and Jeff Yeah.

279
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 5: Gotta all ready to text. The staff drops back cross

280
00:13:51,720 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: the football to believable the.

281
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: First and this crowd is going absolutely bad.

282
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: The loudest stadium has ever reacted to an IU football

283
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 5: moment was that it.

284
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 9: Probably I would like to ask those who were there,

285
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 9: but it can't get much louder than that. Come on now, Mark,

286
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 9: I can't believe.

287
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 10: It until sites stadium to right you will you play

288
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 10: just the start of that Mark not to play just

289
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 10: like as Don Fisher introduces that play, and just listen

290
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 10: to the crowd.

291
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 5: Dramatic ready to take.

292
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: The staff drops back, froze the football like that sounds

293
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: like a third down to beat your rival of a

294
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: Saturday night white in the fourth quarter.

295
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: That's the opening play of a neutral site semi final

296
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 5: game that wasn't neutral.

297
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 9: That's I'll know every time I saw someone who was

298
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 9: on the ground, I believe Courtney Cronin went Tris Whittaker,

299
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 9: and other people from like the IU media scene, and

300
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 9: obviously Indian natives as well. They kept telling us that

301
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 9: it was at best eighty five to fifteen Hoosiers.

302
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 8: Yeah.

303
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 5: Again, outside of the Oregon band and family and friends,

304
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 5: I think it was ninety five five. I mean I

305
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: was just every time they show the crowd, it was like,

306
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 5: you know, play the where's walda? Where's a green shirt? Yeah,

307
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: that's true. I mean it was unfreaking believable. The question, James,

308
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 5: that I like, I think it's such a generic question

309
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: to ask, and obviously you could talk about it for

310
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 5: hours and hours, and I guess I'll ask it and

311
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 5: I'll also answer it, and then I'll throw it your way.

312
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: What makes Indiana so good? You know, that's that's the

313
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 5: question right now in college football? How are they so dominant?

314
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: Because this is not Joe Burrow, justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase.

315
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 5: You know, it's not that. I mean, obviously there's NFL talent,

316
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 5: but it's not that sort of level. And the answer

317
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: that I keep on coming back to is for a

318
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 5: college football team. And again this is not very a

319
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 5: very sexy answer, but for a college football team, I

320
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: cannot recall a time where I've seen a team so disciplined,

321
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: so fundamentally sound, and so clean, like what they don't

322
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: They don't make mistakes. And honestly, when you think about

323
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: college football a lot, even college basketball, I think so

324
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 5: many times it's just we're talking about eighteen to twenty

325
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 5: two year old kids, and it's volatable, and it could

326
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 5: look a really good one moment, and then the next moment,

327
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 5: he looks in the crowd and seizes whatever the side

328
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: piece sitting next to his real girl, and all of

329
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: a sudden, it's like, oh boy, here comes a big

330
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 5: drop and Dante More is running into his running back

331
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: and the punt's getting blocked, and you know, those types

332
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 5: of moments happen. Like that's just how I think college sports,

333
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 5: more so than pro sports. Indiana football has an NFL discipline.

334
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 5: I guess it's the best way for me to put it.

335
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 5: They're just so rock solid.

336
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think watching college football and one of the

337
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 9: reasons why I enjoy it so much is that you

338
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 9: kind of wait for the idiot moment to happen where

339
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 9: you're just thinking, what are you doing?

340
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: And it happens more often than not in very big moments.

341
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 9: Because how many times can we say throughout the college

342
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 9: football season, whether you're watching under Dame Kevin or other

343
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 9: people are watching, I you that some and this is

344
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 9: through the years, not this year in particular, but through

345
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 9: the years. Somebody does something and you're thinking to yourself,

346
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 9: what the heck were you doing the night before this game?

347
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: Why are you not in position?

348
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 9: And there's some busted coverage that flips the game or

349
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 9: flips the field right after you said that this cornerback

350
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 9: was great or something like that.

351
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 5: So I think it's that.

352
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 9: But also their coaching is really really good, because if

353
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 9: you look at their roster, they don't have any what

354
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 9: five star recruits come out of high school and it

355
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 9: just does not matter. They got a team full of

356
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 9: dogs who they recruited the right I think character guys,

357
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 9: which goes a long way in this era in particular,

358
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 9: because you're missing and mixing and matching constantly with your roster,

359
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 9: so you got to find guys that mesh well personality wise,

360
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 9: and you can't tell me you're looking at a bunch

361
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 9: of dudes that are just in it for nil money,

362
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 9: and that probably is a big difference as well.

363
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I guess to you know, what is

364
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 5: the reason why they're so fundamentally sound, so disciplined? Yeah,

365
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: I would say so much of it is rooted in coaching.

366
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 5: We've talked about it throughout this run here. You know,

367
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 5: I think the consistency and their coaching staff. You know, again,

368
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: having these two coordinators that have been there for so long,

369
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 5: not only for Kurt Signetti's benefit, for continuity, but also

370
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: just the voices that these players have. I think college

371
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 5: you know, turnover staff is very real in Indiana has

372
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 5: very little of it here at all. I was taking

373
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 5: a gander at some of these ticket prices for a

374
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 5: week from Monday here. Okay, boy, So I was sexy

375
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 5: yesterday the buddy of mine who has been an IU

376
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 5: football season ticket holder since we graduated. I think initially

377
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 5: he was on the basketball wait list and eventually got in.

378
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: But he's like one of these you know, diehard football fan. Frankly,

379
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: oh wow, okay, And so I was curious, like priority wise, okay,

380
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 5: what does that lead to you? He got four tickets

381
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 5: to the National Championship game. Man, But He was explaining

382
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: to me the the tiers of ticket prices for Monday Night.

383
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 5: So the cheapest face value ticket from Indiana's a lot,

384
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 5: but I want to say each team gets twenty thousand

385
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: and then you get the rest about twenty twenty five

386
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 5: thousand corporate. So the cheapest ticket. And you've been to

387
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 5: that stadium, right, Dolphins Hard Rocks, Adam, Not actually, oh

388
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 5: you haven't. I actually don't think it's that bad of

389
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 5: a viewing stadium. But three hundred level end zone. So

390
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 5: the worst seats in the house, three hundred level is

391
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 5: their upper level five to twenty five. Okay, so that's

392
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 5: your face value there. Now, if you go middle of

393
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: the field of that upper level, that is seven hundred dollars.

394
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 5: If you go down to the lower levels in the

395
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 5: end zone, that is a nine hundred dollars ticket. And

396
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 5: then the most expensive face value ticket so if you

397
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: get access to it, which is probably the biggest question,

398
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: eleven hundred dollars. So those are your face value numbers.

399
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 5: He was mentioning that the upper level for the Peach

400
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 5: Bowl was one sixty, so you're looking at about whatever

401
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 5: three point fifty three seventy five up charge If you

402
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 5: will from the cheapest ticket at the Peach Bowl to

403
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 5: the cheapest ticket for the National title. He said the

404
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 5: Rose Bowl cheapest was two fifteen.

405
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 9: So then my question is, because those prices sound pretty great,

406
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 9: especially if you have been a season ticket member or

407
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 9: holder for years, how do they choose who gets.

408
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: Access to it?

409
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 9: Because I would imagine there are a lot of season

410
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 9: ticket holders who probably weren't a war or did the.

411
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 5: Chance to mark these tickets? Or how does is it

412
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 5: a raffle? Is it random? Yeah, that's a great, great question.

413
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 5: I mean I would assume some of that has to

414
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 5: do with obviously your priority, how long you have been

415
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 5: a season ticket holder, And I would assume some has

416
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 5: to do with, uh, let's look up who is donated

417
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 5: and how healthy have you donated. I think that's just

418
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 5: a fair enough and honestly, I don't know a better way. Frankly,

419
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 5: and saying Mark Cuban isn't on the wait list, I'm

420
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 5: gonna say Mark Cuban has access to a decent amount

421
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 5: of tickets here. I saw that Mark Cuban speaking of

422
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: him going back and forth yesterday about tickets on the

423
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: internet and tickpic. I'm not familiar with tickpick. Are they

424
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: like a seat geek or a.

425
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 8: I don't know.

426
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 9: I'm a ticket master to the core because I'm just like,

427
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 9: I need this to be legitimate.

428
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 6: I'd be worried about the spelling of that one when

429
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 6: I'm Google searching.

430
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 5: I know, I was all nervous to say it out

431
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 5: loud frankly. But whatever, as long as Mark's fully closed,

432
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 5: I think we'll get through the next three hours here.

433
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 11: Uh.

434
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 5: The price has actually gone down a little bit from

435
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 5: the secondary market. So they were actually responding to Cuban

436
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 5: last night and they said when the Miami game ended

437
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 5: Thursday night, the cheapest secondary ticket market was twenty seven hundred.

438
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 5: Then when the IU game ended twenty four hours later,

439
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: the cheapest ticket was thirty seven hundred. But now as

440
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 5: more inventory has reached the secondary market, ie, the Miami

441
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 5: and the Indiana fans, are you know, knowing how many

442
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 5: tickets that they're getting. It's leveled out right now at

443
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 5: about thirty two one hundred for one ticket for oon

444
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: ticket on the secondary market.

445
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 9: Oh baby, Well, there's your opportunity once in a lifetime

446
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 9: chance to see Indiana going defeated. I probably shouldn't say

447
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 9: once in a lifetime considering how much they're rolling. I

448
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 9: was gonna say that ain't but I guess the first

449
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 9: of your lifetime.

450
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: How about that.

451
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 5: Man market, I might need you to do some mass.

452
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 5: So have you added up if you went Rose Bull

453
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 5: Peach Bowl Miami? What are we looking at here? And

454
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 5: I do have a friend that did this.

455
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 9: Now she must have a great job along with a

456
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 9: couple of friends, a couple members of her family.

457
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 5: I mean it's gotta be well north to ten ten grand, right,

458
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 5: it has to be. And you're not even a factor

459
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 5: in what hotel? No? I mean, I think I'll try

460
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 5: to factor it all in, okay. I mean you'd have

461
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 5: to get some rough estimates on that mark in terms

462
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 5: of obviously, if you're purchasing secondary ticket prices, it's gonna

463
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 5: look a little different than the face value.

464
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 6: But try to crunch the numbers.

465
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 5: I yeah, take your time.

466
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: Carry the one?

467
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 5: Can yeah? Exactly? Carry the one? Is this the Malik

468
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 5: renew game?

469
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 11: Right?

470
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 5: Isn't he a Miami Hurricane? Right now? When's the last

471
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 5: time before the name of Malik?

472
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 9: I was gonna say, brother, that is a great pull

473
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 9: from you, because I have not thought about Malik rdu

474
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 9: in months.

475
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 5: It's not a year great left hand he does.

476
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: He was a pretty good player for I can't say

477
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: he was, like, you know, a bad player, but.

478
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 5: I think he's putt up pretty good numbers honestly for them.

479
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: There one other item from Friday night that I was

480
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 5: struck by was just yeah, obviously at miss Sphere crowd,

481
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 5: but the fact that Signetti left those starters in for

482
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 5: so long? Did you did you catch that? I did?

483
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: And you know what, I'm not why I am criticizing

484
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: coded Signetti. I'll do it right here.

485
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 9: When they ran the quarterback dive or whatever it was

486
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 9: and Mendoza got popped, I was like, boy, you are

487
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 9: playing with the football guys right now.

488
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: Well, he don't do this to me. And I'm probably

489
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 5: reading too much into it, but did you catch when

490
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 5: the camera's pay to the Mendoza parents and it looked like,

491
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 5: and again I'm very much inferring here, it looked like

492
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 5: dad kind of leaned over to mom and little brother

493
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: and were like, hey, you think how Berto's going? Like

494
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 5: it had one of those feels to it, and then

495
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, here comes number fifteen back out

496
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 5: for another drive. And obviously, you know I don't you

497
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 5: know there are times I think in the first year

498
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 5: of the Signetti era, you know, maybe against Purdue you're

499
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 5: running a fake pawn up whatever thirty in that game.

500
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: Like there were maybe some times where and you know,

501
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: last year Indiana was fighting for a playoff birth. You know,

502
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: style points gets into this big conversation here as you

503
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 5: get late into the regular season. I don't know if

504
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 5: there's like this bad venom between Dan Lanny and Kurt Signetti.

505
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 5: They don't. It doesn't look like Matt Lafleur and Ben

506
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 5: Johnson shaking hands. And sure, I guess there's an element

507
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,239
Speaker 5: of like you're playing to your standard, but you're up

508
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 5: thirty or three minutes ago, and Fernanda Mendoz is like

509
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 5: still in the game, and I you fans, I feel like,

510
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 5: are like yelling for holding calls. At that point, I'm like,

511
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 5: has Signetti just brainwashed all of us into thinking, like

512
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: this is exactly how you have to do it? Walk

513
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 5: On's you will not be getting in this game, Like

514
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 5: they had their defensive starters play every snap in that game.

515
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 5: Got to send it, thirty four, got to.

516
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 3: Send a message.

517
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 9: Gosh, he's an insane person, But maybe you need a

518
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 9: little bit of that to change culture.

519
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 5: And that's what they also have.

520
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 9: That great culture, man, And I get that word is

521
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 9: thrown around a lot in sports. What's good culture, what's

522
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 9: bad culture, mediocre culture?

523
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 5: Looking at you, is that culture leaving those starters in? Like,

524
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 5: is that, Hey, we have to stay Dad's culture. But

525
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: I do think there's a certain level of like stupidity.

526
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like, I don't know if there's if you need

527
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 9: to stay in there that long, but I do think

528
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 9: there's a certain level of your culture where you're saying,

529
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 9: we go out there and we kill people on this field,

530
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 9: and we will do it from the first nap to

531
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 9: the last nap. Now, I will argue that you can

532
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 9: do that with other players in there, but hey, I'm

533
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 9: also not the coach who got them.

534
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 3: To be fifteen to oh.

535
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 9: Like I had somebody text I feel like I'm nitpicking,

536
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 9: which is a good thing considering how great they've been

537
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 9: all year.

538
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 5: I was in a group text where someone sent they

539
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 5: should sit Mendoza for the second half. Imagine imagine being

540
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 5: in that position in the national semi final, where like

541
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: and obviously they yeah, I totally get why he played

542
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 5: in the third quarter and helped obviously play deep in

543
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter, but like it was seven to seven

544
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 5: late in the first quarter. Next thing, you know, the

545
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 5: questions being asked the halftime, should you say, man, I

546
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 5: thought Signatty was great running off the field. We're whipping

547
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 5: them up front. Let mean, just spot on could not

548
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 5: be more candid, more more spot on about that. Yeah,

549
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: it's he's uniquely himself.

550
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 9: I actually was a little bit shocked to hear him

551
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 9: say after the game he's gonna go get a beer because.

552
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: Expect him.

553
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, I fully expected him, know to be like I

554
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 9: gotta go watch film or something like that.

555
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 3: So at least he breathed a little bit after.

556
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 5: He's got some portal attention he's got to get to.

557
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 5: That doesn't surprise me. Today A lot of people gade guy.

558
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: Is he so you and him will be Kindrick Spear

559
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: Are you no?

560
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 5: You're a power ad guy, right, blue power baby?

561
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 9: Okay, Well you got you gotta get down there are

562
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 9: blowington and convinced coach and why it should be different.

563
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 5: No, I don't think he's listening to me. Freddy Thing,

564
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 5: Zach Ostener gonna joins coming up eight o'clock. Joel A

565
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 5: ericson at nine will talk a little Colts then if

566
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 5: you were in the building Friday night, I would love

567
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 5: to hear from a three one, seven, two, three, nine,

568
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 5: ten seventy Mark Dyton in full jubilation too much to

569
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 5: celebrate a wild card win? Or do you want to

570
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 5: tell me to bleep off?

571
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: No?

572
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 10: No, if it's against the Packers, against the art rival

573
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 10: nothing like.

574
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 5: I said, Okay, can you walk me through this? Where

575
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 5: is this? I know Ben Johnson said the stuff of

576
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 5: the press conference, but there was a lot there. I mean,

577
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 5: the Bears are posting a video post game of literally

578
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson in the locker room saying f the Packers. Yeah,

579
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: we don't see team social media accounts do that?

580
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 7: No?

581
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 8: Is something?

582
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 5: Is there more here?

583
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: No?

584
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 10: Just that's how big the rivalry is against the fan

585
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 10: base and everything like that. So if he wants to

586
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 10: endear himself to the city, he certainly did that. And

587
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 10: that's interesting for the Bears because their owners normally are

588
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 10: not fans of swearing, so for the social media team

589
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 10: to be tweeting that out in the locker room and

590
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 10: everything like that. Like they've said, there have been reporters

591
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 10: that have said, like I don't even work for the team,

592
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 10: and I've been told I've sworn before and they've like

593
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 10: shunned me a little bit for that. So the fact

594
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 10: that the head coach is doing it now shows you

595
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 10: what kind of emotion was in that game and come

596
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 10: back and everything like that. So my dad said it

597
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 10: probably best after the game. He said, it's all gravy

598
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 10: after this. Whatever they do in the playoffs, like you

599
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 10: slayed the dragon, you got past your arch rivals, you

600
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 10: sent them to kang kun, and you got them bitching

601
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 10: and moaning the rest of the offseason. So they have

602
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 10: a tough game against the Rams, but I know the

603
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 10: defense isn't very good. I don't count them out in

604
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 10: any game at this point. I don't know how you

605
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 10: could given how the season has gone to this point.

606
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 10: So the NFL playoffs are wide open, and I know

607
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 10: it's the NFC West against Chicago at this point, I'm

608
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 10: not counting Chicago out of any game they play the

609
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 10: rest of the way out.

610
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 5: Do you view tweeting as much as you were during

611
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 5: the game as therapy, Yes, I think so.

612
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 10: I think I have to just get an outlet of

613
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 10: so I have to put it out somewhere. So again

614
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 10: I've apologized ahead of the game. This is not going

615
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 10: to be normal Mark for the next four plus hours.

616
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 10: Just ride the roller coaster with me, mute me if

617
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 10: you have to, that's fine too.

618
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 5: Should I adopt that? Because I'm not an end game

619
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 5: tweeter with my with my team.

620
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 6: Well you should be.

621
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 10: I would like some more end of game tweets from

622
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 10: Kevin Boone when Notre Dame basketball is on, Like I

623
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 10: would have loved you to go live or something after

624
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 10: that game that.

625
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 5: They have Miami tomorrow, so you know, Indiana fans want

626
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 5: to jump on the bandwagon here.

627
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 9: I need like a hat to give Kevin that says

628
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 9: a big one tomorrow because he says that about every

629
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 9: game huge.

630
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter quad one win here.

631
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: It could be against Romeovill High.

632
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 9: You're gonna say, boy a little bit, we really need

633
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 9: to go out there and execute.

634
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 5: You can make the case. And honestly, there were a

635
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 5: lot of great games and certainly Bears Packers, but like

636
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: that Panthers Rams game to get a started set of

637
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 5: those scratch oh my gosh. And you know what what

638
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: I was really struck by late in that game was

639
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: what the Rams pass rush did on that final possession,

640
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 5: you know, when the Rams scored boy Bryce Young company,

641
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 5: they had some time and I found it fitting out.

642
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 5: And we're not going to get into Chris Bauer talk

643
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: outside of Joel a ericson today. We'll we'll we'll await

644
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 5: that the rest of the week. But James, I almost

645
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 5: view the end of that Rams game like this is

646
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 5: literally all of Ballard's words coming to action with the Rams,

647
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: and all his hopes and dreams have never really developed

648
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 5: here with the Colts, of how they ended that game

649
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 5: and their pass rush getting Bryce Young out of the pocket.

650
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 5: Out of the pocket, I think they hit him maybe

651
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 5: on third down. It wasn't just you sacked him and

652
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: ended the game. It was what a pass rush can

653
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 5: do to disrupt a quarterback. And that game, I mean

654
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 5: the Parkinson catch.

655
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 7: That was.

656
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 5: I almost feel like we'll get two weeks into the

657
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 5: playoffs here and we'll forget about that game.

658
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 10: And it was one of the best games of the

659
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 10: weekend easily, I'd say, outside of last night's Patriots Chargers game.

660
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 10: The first four games were incredible.

661
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 5: Did you guys think the Bills left the Jags too

662
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 5: much time there?

663
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 7: Yes?

664
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 8: I did.

665
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: But at the same time, would you.

666
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 5: Have fallen down on first down. Romo was pretty adamant

667
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 5: about that, and I agreed with him. So basically, for

668
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 5: those of missed it, I guess just set it up

669
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 5: first and goal at the one. The Jags were out

670
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 5: of timeouts. I believe they were out of timeouts minutes ago.

671
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: So and you have to score a touchdown. So if

672
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 5: you whatever literally Josh Allen QB sneaker and fall down,

673
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 5: make it second goal to one, you can bleed that

674
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 5: clock all the way down to twenty seconds. Yeah, take

675
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 5: a timeout, and now you have three downs to score

676
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 5: from the one yard line. Order the football GUIDs say,

677
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 5: that's what I'm saying, you tried not to score.

678
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 9: Watch this, Yeah, I'm almost because I believe the Panthers

679
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 9: needed what a touchdown to beat them, right.

680
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: I had to go back and look at the score.

681
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I'm probably scoring there and saying, my defense,

682
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 9: you got seventy five seventy yards to.

683
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 5: Stop watching that Bill's defense at times this year, man,

684
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 5: I don't know.

685
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: Hey, they got it done.

686
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 10: I thought the same thing with the Bears a game

687
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 10: when they scored that goal ahead Touchdo'm like minute forty

688
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 10: five love, that's too much time fair and the Loveland's

689
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 10: very good mark, He's worth the tenth pick. I know

690
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 10: there's a lot of discourse at the start of the

691
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 10: season when Tyler Warren was doing his thing and everything

692
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 10: like that, and I like Tyler Warren a lot, but

693
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 10: Colston Lovelin has been unbelievable. If you have said at

694
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 10: the start of the season he's going to lead the

695
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 10: team in receiving, I wouldn't have believed.

696
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 6: It, but he did.

697
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 10: And then he was a man in the first game,

698
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 10: playoff game of the sixth of his career, and he

699
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 10: played a hell of a game that was incredible.

700
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 6: They had no answer for him, no.

701
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 5: Rookie w All there. His game's kind of ascended here

702
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: late in the season, where Tyler Warren was kind of

703
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 5: almost the reverse. Granted, I do think the injury to

704
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones I think impacted Tyler Warren a bit. Who

705
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 5: do we like tonight, Steelers, Texans, Texans.

706
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 9: I'll go Texans. I think they're a better team. And

707
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 9: I just will never pick the Steelers to win a

708
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 9: playoff game and soil I'll see it with my own eyes.

709
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 9: Hasn't happened since twenty sixteen.

710
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: That's all that to marks Bears.

711
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 6: That's true. You want to make my weekend, Yeah, the

712
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 6: extended weekend.

713
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 10: You have Aaron Rodgers and the Packers get knocked out

714
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 10: in the first rount of the playoffs, that'd be incredible.

715
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 9: I was gonna say out throw on the fact that

716
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 9: the Bears are also the two seed, and I had

717
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 9: seen them do some crazy things or special things this season.

718
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 9: The Steelers are kind of a slog to watch at times.

719
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 9: It kind of felt like they feel like the Eagles

720
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 9: when I watch them. At times, I'm just like, like,

721
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 9: this is winning football, but boy, is it barely getting

722
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 9: anything done?

723
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 6: What about you, keV? Where you going with tonight? Yeah?

724
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 5: I mean part of me looks at Texans d line

725
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 5: and thinks, boy rogers watching him try to escape from that.

726
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 5: But I also am not sure if I totally trust

727
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 5: Houston in that environment.

728
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 6: On the road, cold outside.

729
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 5: I know, I just stroud.

730
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 8: I don't know.

731
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 5: I obviously he's done a lot in his NFL career.

732
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 5: I don't undermine that, but it just seems like that

733
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 5: offense is still Nico Collins or bust for me there.

734
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna cop out and give my pick at

735
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 5: nine to fifty five.

736
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 6: I'll look at that.

737
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 5: That's what I'm gonna go with there, That's what I'm

738
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 5: gonna go What a coward. I still cannot believe the

739
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 5: Mendoza stat five games this year of more touchdowns than incompletions.

740
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a screenshot that I put out there,

741
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 3: and it's.

742
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 5: Not just the cupcake. No, we're gonna are two of them.

743
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure. Hell you're fighting the line. That is

744
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 5: probably another one.

745
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 9: Hey, hey, hey, that was a cupcake for sure. Completely

746
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 9: overmatched that game. I'll throw this in there because I

747
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 9: had screenshot it and tweeted it out. He was ten

748
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 9: of eleven for one hundred and ten yards or three

749
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 9: touchdowns at one point in that game. And I just

750
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 9: had to put lol on the timeline because how are

751
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 9: you that good?

752
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: Just dotting him up?

753
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 9: And I mean the amount of throws that I thought,

754
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 9: that's an NFL throw, that's a Sunday throw, that's a

755
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 9: franchise number one.

756
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 5: For every ball he throws to Becker is literally in

757
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 5: the perfect spot for Charlie Becker to like reach a

758
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 5: level of athleticism that's necessary. Like he's got a jump,

759
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 5: he's got to separate a little bit. But it's like

760
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 5: my guy or no guy.

761
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: He has a little bit of at Alet Pearson them.

762
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 8: Yeah.

763
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I hate to make like the White White

764
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 5: Out com but yes, I would agree with that. And

765
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 5: then Sara, I mean, Sarat is just physical, dude, He's

766
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 5: just a dog. I mean, there's no d a w

767
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 5: G like the fifty fifth. I go back to the

768
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 5: first Orgon game of just his ability to turn fifty

769
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 5: to fifty into eighty twenty ninety ten, obviously the Iowa

770
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 5: game when he breaks out tackle and scores there. It

771
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: had been a few weeks I think since we had

772
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 5: seen Sarat do his little hey here's a third down

773
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 5: fifty fifty ball. I want to say there was a

774
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 5: third down maybe when it was seven at all, you know,

775
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 5: and it was like I was actually surprised. Orgon answered

776
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 5: as emphatically as they did. Yeah, after the Ponds picked six, you.

777
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: Have thought you didn't really tackle that well on that drive.

778
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was a good throw. And ketch hovis

779
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: in the touchdown there, the third and long touchdown from

780
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 5: Dante Moore. But then like Indiana gets in like a

781
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: semi third and long and it's one of those back

782
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,319

Speaker 9: I told you that's a boy. I heard that, and

802
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 9: I just heard like the organ's playing in the black church.

803
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 8: Damn.

804
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: I mean, you got to call on Jesus I feel

805
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,800

Speaker 5: we finally have you? Good morning sir.

809
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 8: Hey, sorry, the last time this was is my fat singers,

810
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 8: So I apologize for that.

811
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 5: No user air totally on us. We appreciate it because

812
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 5: you are very, very busy. I hope a little trip

813
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 5: back to the home state treated you well. You have

814
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 5: covered Indiana, You've gone to Indiana, so I feel like

815
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 5: you are maybe a really good person to lead off

816
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 5: with this the d'anzel Pond's moment. You know, when you

817
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 5: think about the crescendo, the crowd, the et cetera, et cetera,

818
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 5: whether you want to go, wat shot, whether you want

819
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 5: to go I don't know. If you were at the

820
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 5: killings Worth game, where would you kind of put that

821
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: in the pantheon of IU moments.

822
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 8: I actually was at all those, and I mean in

823
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 8: terms of sheer noise, it was the loudest that I

824
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 8: think I've heard and obviously listened. It's the Dome stadium, right,

825
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 8: you know, I'm sure if we put a dome over

826
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 8: Memorial Stadium, there would have been times in the last

827
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 8: couple of years it would have been awfully loud, and

828
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 8: so forth. This sound is going to be trapped a

829
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 8: little bit differently and move a little bit differently. But

830
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 8: I mean it, and I don't say this for respect.

831
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 8: I genuinely mean this. My ears hurt now. So the

832
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 8: worth pointing out the press box of Mercedes bins is

833
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 8: open air.

834
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 7: It's not like Lucas oil.

835
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 8: It's not sealed off, so you are maybe exposed to

836
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 8: that a little bit more directly, if you know what

837
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 8: I'm saying. But I mean, like it was. It was

838
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 8: genuinely kind of the the roar at the crowd, it

839
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 8: was it was right before he kind of hit the

840
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 8: end zone, like when everyone sort of realized what was happening.

841
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 8: That was about I think that was about as loud

842
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 8: as as I've ever heard it, and it was you know,

843
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 8: there is a phrase in European football, Uh, there's a

844
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 8: when you say limbs. What you mean is the scene

845
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 8: in the stands when like an incredibly important goal is scored.

846
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 8: You got about from from some of the fan videos

847
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 8: I've seen. You got about the closest thing I've ever

848
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 8: seen to limbs in uh in a in a h

849
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 8: An American football stadium too.

850
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 9: So, Zach, when you're experience in this and I have

851
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 9: been to this stadium, and yeah, that open air press

852
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 9: box can get you. I was on the other end

853
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 9: of that, I guess from a Indiana sports perspective, because

854
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 9: I believe the Colts blew the biggestle in the NFL

855
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 9: history in Minnesota was an open air press box and

856
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 9: it got really loud in there as well. Sock my

857
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 9: have times have changed at least from that perspective. But Zach,

858
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 9: when you're looking at the way the team responded after that,

859
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 9: because it seems like a distant memory, but that game

860
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 9: was seven to seven, they get the pick six, Oregon

861
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 9: comes back and responds, and then you just basically whoops

862
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 9: in the rest of the way. What did you think

863
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 9: of the way they were able to bounce back, maybe

864
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 9: not being their best right after that play?

865
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you felt like you got the scripted

866
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 8: organ drive just one drive late, if you know what

867
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 8: I mean, Like you got the scripted plays and it

868
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 8: was a really good drive. Don't get me wrong, but

869
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 8: you got kind of Organs first fifteen. In that second drive,

870
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 8: once Oregon kind of fixed itself up from the from

871
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 8: the pick six, and it was a lot of really

872
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 8: good stuff. You know, It's sort of like a lot

873
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 8: of stuff that kind of got Dante more in rhythm,

874
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 8: and I thought his best throw the night was probably

875
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 8: that touchdown pass that kind of just like sort of

876
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 8: finds that that soft gap between the second and the

877
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 8: third levels of the defense. I think it was to

878
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 8: one of his tight ends, and you did sort of

879
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 8: think there, you know, Orgon kind of moved Indiana on

880
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 8: that drive. The point of attack wasn't really Indiana's friend.

881
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 8: They weren't getting, you know, some of the pressure, and

882
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 8: Oregan was doing a better job of kind of moving

883
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 8: Dante more away from where they thought Indiana's pressure was

884
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 8: going to be coming from. And then for Indiana, I think,

885
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 8: you know, if the pun touchdown is kind of the

886
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 8: moment that people will remember, I think the drive after

887
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 8: Oregon's touchdown is probably the one that really sets the

888
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 8: terms of the game, because that's Indiana just coming right

889
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 8: back out and sort of saying that was nice, but

890
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 8: you know, the game is going to be played on

891
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 8: our terms. Today. You don't have any say in it,

892
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 8: and I think that was probably you know, the Pond's

893
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 8: moment is the one that fans are going to remember.

894
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 8: It's it's where were you win? And so forth. But

895
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 8: I think the I think the Indiana drive after the

896
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 8: organ touchdown in the first quarter, especially to think that

897
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 8: by that point, like Oregon ate up like eight minutes

898
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 8: of the clock and that's that first strush. I mean,

899
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 8: there was even that element of hey, we're going to

900
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 8: shorten this game, We're going to make these guys really

901
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 8: work for it. And for Indiana's response to just see, no, no,

902
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 8: this is not going to go the way you think

903
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 8: it's going to go today, I think, like I said,

904
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 8: just sort of set the terms of the game from

905
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 8: that point forward.

906
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 9: Zach, you have a headline in Indie Star that reads,

907
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 9: Fernando Mendoza's outstanding playoff driving Heisman critics away, And when

908
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 9: I'm watching him, I'm like, dude, this guy looks better

909
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 9: than he was a few weeks ago. And he's been

910
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 9: great all season. But how surgical do you think he's

911
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 9: been in the biggest moments of the year, especially as

912
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 9: they continue to get bigger, he.

913
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 8: Has been I mean, what I arguing that piece is

914
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 8: that you know, he's he's he's kind of painting his

915
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 8: masterpiece right now, and obviously there's one more game to go,

916
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 8: and you're not going to remember. You know, we're not

917
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 8: going to remember all this the same way if Indiana

918
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 8: doesn't win on Monday night. But you know that there

919
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 8: has been there or not, And some of this has

920
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 8: probably just been driven by sort of online anemity and whatever,

921
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 8: but there has been some criticism of the idea that

922
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 8: you know, maybe Mendoza has not you know, necessarily been

923
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 8: what at least statistically we have come to expect from

924
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 8: a Heisman Trophy winner. And I think, I mean, I

925
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 8: pointed out in there, like there are some there's some

926
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 8: reasons for that beyond any individual player, the way the

927
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 8: portal has changed parody in college sports, college football in particular,

928
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 8: I think the big win is the clock rules, and

929
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 8: the way the clock rules have altered how we you know,

930
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 8: how how games are managed, how games are played, how

931
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 8: coaches approach you know, certain situations and game plans and things.

932
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 8: But I also made the point there that if you

933
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 8: if you took Mendoza and this isn't this is an

934
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 8: imperfect instrument, to be sure, but that if you took

935
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 8: Mendoza and the numbers that he's put up back to

936
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 8: the time when quarterbacks did attempt four hundred and eighty

937
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 8: five hundred and twenty passes a year, his numbers would

938
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 8: look a lot more familiar to what we expect from

939
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 8: a Heisman Trophy winner. It is because he has, you know,

940
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 8: kind of I think, played in this this different era.

941
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 8: On frankly, what I think increasingly it is fair to

942
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 8: call one of the most dominant teams we've seen in

943
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 8: a while that we are sort of, you know, finding

944
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 8: ourselves in this juncture where he doesn't have maybe those

945
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 8: recognizably Heisman numbers because he's just not getting opportunities because

946
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 8: the game is different, and because the way Indiana plays

947
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 8: the game is going to lend itself to sort of

948
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 8: the flating his numbers a little bit. But I think

949
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 8: when you see these performances, because what he'd done in

950
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 8: the playoffs, you really can't take away from him the

951
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 8: quality of what he's done.

952
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 5: And that's Zach Austenman from the Indianapolistar. He's with us

953
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 5: here on the Payless Slickers hotline. Zach, I know you

954
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 5: could probably go, you know, for three hours on this,

955
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 5: but you know, you've been very keen to the administrative

956
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 5: commitment to football, if you just want to sum it

957
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 5: up in that phrase, is not something that necessarily whatever

958
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 5: a light switch was purely flipped by Pam Whitten and

959
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 5: Scott Dolson. This was something that was brewing a little

960
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 5: bit before that. Obviously they might have ignited the fire

961
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 5: and the magnitude that was necessary, but still it's something

962
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 5: that even dates back prior to that. How would you

963
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 5: kind of throw out a kind of a rough timeline

964
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 5: and when you felt like eyes were awakened in Bloomington

965
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 5: to what was necessary to try and commit more to football.

966
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 8: You know, I think too, I mean to a certain extent,

967
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 8: I think it really probably predates even.

968
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 11: Covid Scott Dolson, you know, I think, I mean, Fraik

969
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 11: Glass was was, you know, very committed to the idea

970
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 11: of being a lot better than what Indiana had been football.

971
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 8: And I think Fred in particular, you know, really excuse me,

972
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 8: really sort of wanted to emulate maybe some other program

973
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 8: building that the big tennant team. He oftened reference to

974
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 8: Garrie Barnett and Barry Alvarez as two coaches that he thought,

975
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 8: you know, if you looked at sort of the trajectory

976
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 8: of those programs before those coaches Scotson, of course that's

977
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 8: Wisconsin or Northwestern Wisconsin, respectively, he thought Indiana could do.

978
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 8: Now I think that, you know, it had to happen

979
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 8: at a different speed. Then. Number one, I don't think

980
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 8: Indiana fully understood what it didn't know. And I think

981
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 8: if you're talking about, you know, sort of points of inflection,

982
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 8: I do think, and I've argued this for many, many years,

983
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 8: that Kevin Wilson was important to Indiana because Kevin Wilson

984
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 8: comes from obviously a similar project at Northwestern, and then

985
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 8: he goes to Oklahoma and he's able to sort of

986
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 8: tell Indiana, these are all the things I've lived this.

987
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 8: I've lived what you're trying to do at a program

988
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 8: like this one, and I've also lived it at a

989
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 8: program that has championship expectations year after year. These are

990
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 8: all the things you're doing wrong. These are all the

991
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 8: ways you need to grow up in football. Indiana also, frankly,

992
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 8: just had less money, and when in a world where

993
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 8: you couldn't move, you couldn't flip rosters and move players

994
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 8: as quickly and obviously couldn't pay players. You know, maybe

995
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 8: Indiana didn't have some of the advantages that it enjoys now.

996
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 8: But I think the you know, the process I think

997
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 8: personally probably goes back about fifteen years, and I think

998
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 8: there have been important in fleshing points along the way.

999
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 8: I think Tom Allen deserves a ton of credit. Kurtzignetti

1000
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 8: himself has said, you know, more than once, especially reaching

1001
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 8: back to kind of those first few months on the job,

1002
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 8: that you know, he would say, some version of people

1003
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 8: told me this job as hopeless. People told me that,

1004
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 8: you know, you can't win here, and yet three years

1005
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 8: ago they were one touchdown away from a Big Ten

1006
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 8: championship game. So clearly something is in place here. I

1007
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 8: don't think anybody doubts that Signetti is the driving force

1008
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 8: behind so much of this, But I think what is

1009
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 8: fair to say is a lot of the pieces that

1010
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 8: needed to be put into place for someone like him

1011
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 8: to have the impact that he's had, and maybe even

1012
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 8: to some extent, for someone like him to even be

1013
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 8: interested in the job to begin with. I think probably

1014
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 8: that's where you look at again, the ten to fifteen

1015
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 8: years prior to his arrival, some of the financial headwinds

1016
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 8: that shifted in Indiana's favor, and some of the serious

1017
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 8: commitments that not probably fair to say not every program

1018
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 8: in Indiana's position in the power what we now recognize

1019
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 8: the power for invested in to try and sort of say, hey,

1020
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 8: we can be better at this, and we're going to

1021
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 8: make a real concerted effort to do that.

1022
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 9: We're speaking with Zach Osterman, the Hoosiers reporter for Indie Star,

1023
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 9: Zach last one on my end, and I get that

1024
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 9: this is all sports related, so that's the context I'm giving.

1025
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 9: But how much general rational trauma do you think has

1026
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 9: been lifted with this run considering where IU was for

1027
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 9: so long and where they are now.

1028
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 3: One went away from their first national championship.

1029
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean a lot, I think. I think it's

1030
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 8: fair to say a lot. I think there are you know,

1031
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 8: there have always been IU fans that were as invested

1032
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 8: in football as they were in basketball, if not more so.

1033
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 8: I think there's also, at least to my estimation, I've

1034
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 8: obviously I'm not claiming to be the foremost expert, but

1035
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 8: I've been around the fan base a long time. I

1036
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 8: think there were also a lot of IU fans that

1037
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 8: maybe looked at football as I don't want to say,

1038
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 8: more appealing, but they sort of felt like they'd seen

1039
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 8: the success in basketball, or that there was almost this

1040
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 8: implicit trust in the idea that at some point basketball

1041
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 8: would get figured out, but football was kind of the

1042
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 8: white whale that everyone was chasing. I think there's also

1043
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 8: not to get you know, sort of or overly philosophical

1044
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 8: about it, and maybe some people disagree with me, and

1045
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 8: that's fine. I think there's also an element of you

1046
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 8: have maybe two generations now of Indiana fans that were

1047
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 8: sort of promised something like this in basketball, that they

1048
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 8: were raised on the idea that that that was I

1049
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 8: don't want to say birth right, but that was the

1050
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 8: expectation that an Indiana basketball fan. You know that the

1051
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 8: social contract you made with Indiana basketball was that at

1052
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 8: some point you got moments like this, and obviously for

1053
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 8: the most part, with one or two exceptions, we talked

1054
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 8: about the watch shot, and you know that that group

1055
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 8: being one of them for the last whatever. I mean.

1056
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 8: I was born in February of eighty seventh, so I

1057
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 8: used my own I used my own age as a

1058
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 8: barometer for as a reminder for how long it's been

1059
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 8: since Indiana won a national island basketball That was Indiana's

1060
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 8: last revenue sport national title, you know, thirty eight years

1061
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 8: since Indiana delivered something like that. I think there are

1062
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 8: a lot of people that are also sort of looking

1063
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 8: around and feeling like, this is what we were told

1064
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 8: sort of was part of the experience, just in different sport.

1065
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 8: And I think when you've seen, you know, so many

1066
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 8: people bringing their kids to La or Atlanta, so many

1067
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 8: people traveling in pacts with families or with old friends.

1068
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 8: I know, I saw a whole bunch of IU basketball players,

1069
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 8: you know, road tripping together or meeting up, down and

1070
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 8: down in Atlanta. I think I had something like two

1071
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 8: dozen fraternity brothers that were all at the game in Atlanta,

1072
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 8: some of whom have settled in the South. Some of

1073
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 8: them were flying in from from Denver, from New York,

1074
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 8: from Chicago and so forth. I think there's an element

1075
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 8: too of, you know, this is this is something we

1076
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 8: always dreamed of. Maybe we didn't always dream of it

1077
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 8: in football, but every one always sort of looked around

1078
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 8: and thought, this is something that this is an opportunity

1079
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 8: or an experience that we were sort of promised, and

1080
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 8: it's finally here.

1081
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 5: Getting his work over the indie star artists tremendous. Zach

1082

1088
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 6: technology out the door.

1089
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 5: Hey, Joel, how you doing?

1090
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 7: Man? I'm doing good.

1091
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 12: I did. I did fine with this the first time

1092
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 12: with Jake last week, and now I just I just

1093
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 12: can't can't get it, can't get it right.

1094
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 5: Well, I think we benefit being the morning shows. The

1095
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 5: internet's not up and cooking. You know, people are kind

1096
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 5: of slow starters to their day, so I don't think

1097
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 5: you sound like a chipmunk unless you join Jake from

1098
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 5: noon to three or John from three to six. Did

1099
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 5: you cover Auburn in a National title game? Or am

1100
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 5: I imagining things?

1101
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 8: I did?

1102
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 12: I covered the I covered the Nick Marshall Jamis Winston

1103
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 12: game in the Rose Bowl, which was a great game,

1104
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 12: great Auburn. Auburn had a lead unexpectedly for most of

1105
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 12: the game and then Winston came back and beat him

1106
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 12: at the end.

1107
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 5: Was it Nick Marshall former, I you comment.

1108
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 12: That sounds right, that sounds that sounds that's somewhere in

1109
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 12: the back of my brain.

1110
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 7: I remember that, but.

1111
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 3: Many moons ago.

1112
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.

1113
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 5: We will get to colts here in just a second.

1114
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 5: But you are a football lover, and you are a

1115
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 5: college football fan to say the least, and you obviously

1116
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 5: have been a part of the SEC a zeitgeist. What

1117
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 5: do you make of the story that we're about ready

1118
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 5: to don't say that, continue to watch You're coming up

1119
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 5: a week from Monday.

1120
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 12: Well, I thought your intro right just now where you're

1121
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 12: talking about like it, Like, I'm not surprised that the

1122
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 12: SEC is claiming that Indiana is chieving I always used

1123
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 12: to joke that, like with my school, that if.

1124
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 7: Missouri, you know, ever was in a.

1125
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 12: National championship game, they would like, well, we have to

1126
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 12: change the rules of the sport. And like I you

1127
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 12: is kind of in that same boat, like that's not

1128
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 12: a that's not a traditional football power. College football tends

1129
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 12: to gravitate towards the traditional power. So I'm kind of

1130
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 12: not surprised that the SEC is crying foul because they're

1131
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 12: they're they haven't been in the title game in three years,

1132
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 12: and god forbid, it's because they didn't do a good

1133
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 12: job of playing football and that they that the rest

1134
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 12: of the country caught up to them and passed them.

1135
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 9: Joel, when you look at the way that Fernando Mendoz

1136
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 9: is playing, how much do you think he can really

1137
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 9: affect team on Sundays. I'm looking way ahead, I know,

1138
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 9: to the NFL draft, but he's a presumed number one pick.

1139
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 9: How many throws did you see in that game where

1140
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 9: you thought, Okay, maybe he can't actually get this done

1141
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 9: for NFL franchise.

1142
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1143
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 12: I think the throws, the accuracy from the games I've seen,

1144
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 12: which has been mostly mostly most of the games I've

1145
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 12: seen are the postseason ones against Ohio State and then

1146
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 12: you know the other two, those feel like NFL throws.

1147
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,479
Speaker 12: I think the hardest part is the hardest part for guys,

1148
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 12: like for guys going to the NFL, though, is it

1149
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 12: steps up and changes in just the level of.

1150
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 7: Like what defenses are doing to confuse you.

1151
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 12: You're not going to get the protection you get at

1152
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 12: the collegiate level in almost most cases, unless you play

1153
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 12: for like Philly and their offensive line, you know. So,

1154
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 12: so I think that's that's the stuff that's harder to project.

1155
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 12: I think really the hardest thing to project. I think

1156
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 12: part of the reason that it's hard to know which

1157
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 12: guys are going to make it and which guys aren't

1158
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 12: going to make it is just that step up in

1159
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 12: what defenses do from a disguise standpoint, and how you

1160
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 12: diagnose it and how quickly you diagnose it. My understanding

1161
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 12: of the college game is that it's gotten simpler over

1162
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 12: the years of the NFL, has only gotten more NFL,

1163
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 12: and so I think that that's the hard thing to project.

1164
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 12: But I I mean, I I like Mendoza a ton

1165
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 12: in terms of just the toughness like sometimes sometimes in

1166
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 12: that game last week, I was like, man, you're up

1167
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 12: by thirty, don't run into the tackler. But at the

1168
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 12: same time, like you like to have that in a quarterback.

1169
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 12: You'd rather have that than then you rather have the

1170
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 12: fight in him. So I think some of that stuff

1171
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 12: is good too.

1172
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 5: First tally, I thought I should have faked an injury

1173
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 5: to let his little brother get in the game, But

1174
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 5: I guess he wasn't gonna be about that either. Joeli

1175
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 5: Erickson went this here from the Indy Star. Obviously Joel

1176
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 5: on the Colts beat. We will talk a little Colts

1177
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 5: here on this Monday, Joel. Let's go back to the

1178
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 5: Chris Ballard press conference and let's focus on maybe his

1179
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 5: plans for now twenty twenty six. He mentioned the defense

1180
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 5: getting younger, getting faster. I guess how do they go

1181
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 5: about that? You know, it seems like, okay, are they

1182
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 5: banking on the instant impacts from the draft class as

1183
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 5: lou Ana Arumo, you know, a fan of playing all

1184
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 5: those guys. I get the several defensive ends that are

1185
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 5: free agents, but again, cap space wise, you got to

1186
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 5: think a good chunk of that goes to Daniel Jones

1187
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 5: and Alec Pierce. So how do you kind of envision

1188
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 5: them getting younger and faster on the defensive offseason?

1189
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1190
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 12: I think I think linebacker is probably the easiest position

1191
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 12: to go draft and get younger and faster immediately. You know,

1192
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 12: that's a in terms of them getting younger and faster

1193
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 12: and the secondary foss Gardner's twenty five, cam Binham's not

1194
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 12: that old.

1195
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 7: Who knows what's going to happen? Strong safety.

1196
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 12: So maybe you get younger there if Nick Cross leaves,

1197
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 12: but you know, if if Moody war doesn't come back,

1198
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 12: you're looking at Justin Wally that's pretty young. So that

1199
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 12: kind of eliminates the secondary in my mind as like

1200
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 12: a place that he wants to get a ton younger.

1201
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 12: I say, especially since we also know that Luanner Uma

1202
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 12: doesn't really like to play young defensive backs if he

1203
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 12: can help it. So linebacker is one of the places

1204
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 12: that you can get younger and faster pretty quickly through

1205
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 12: the draft. Defensive end is tougher. Defensive end is tougher,

1206
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 12: and especially especially you know when Chris.

1207
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 7: Ballard is making the.

1208
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 12: Picks they've they've struggled to prove to get a defensive

1209
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 12: end who's a real difference maker. It's really hard to

1210
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 12: get those without a first round pick. And so I

1211
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 12: think I think that's the obvious place to go in

1212
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 12: free agency. And and the hard part is they need

1213
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 12: three of them in different in different levels, because I

1214
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 12: don't think I would have Quinny pay or Sansonebucom or

1215
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 12: Taekwon Lewis back, And so that means that it's you

1216
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 12: You're you have to really overhaul that room, and you're

1217
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 12: gonna have to find a way to do that through

1218
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 12: free agency or through trades.

1219
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 5: Joel, it seems like that aspect again, younger and faster

1220
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 5: on defense, that is the clear, like okay, personnel focus

1221
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 5: of the offseason, and then and listening to Carliers Gordon

1222
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 5: and Chris Ballard, it seems like the other thought is

1223
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 5: a little bit more. It has a little bit more

1224
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 5: gray areas. I guess it's less tangible in that A,

1225
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 5: we're obviously hoping for better health, and B we have

1226
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 5: to handle adversity better, which again is kind of more

1227
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 5: of just an abstract I mean, I guess you could,

1228
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 5: you know, try to improve depth in your roster, but

1229
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 5: it appears that's a little bit more mindset based. I

1230
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 5: guess is that how you kind of view the offseason,

1231
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 5: whereas this time last year was Gus Bradley's gonna be

1232
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 5: fired and we're going to spend more in free agency

1233
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 5: this year. It's yes, defense is going to get some

1234
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 5: sort of attention, but then after that the improvement has

1235
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 5: got to be mindset based, psyche almost late in seasons

1236
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,439
Speaker 5: and handling university better.

1237
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 12: I think, you know, Chris Ballard said when he said

1238
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 12: that the run game they have to be better at

1239
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 12: running it with, regardless of the quarterback. I think that

1240
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 12: stuck out to me and I was kind of kicking

1241
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 12: myself after the press conference last week for not digging

1242
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 12: in on that more and than saying more about that

1243
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 12: down the stretch, because if you think about it, when

1244
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 12: you when you lose your top two quarterbacks, that the

1245
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 12: running game is supposed to to be the thing that

1246
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 12: carries you.

1247
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 7: You're supposed to be able to run the ball.

1248
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 12: And you know, obviously in the NFL you prefer to

1249
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 12: throw to score and run to win in the way

1250
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 12: Shane Stiken does, because throwing is.

1251
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 7: Obviously necessary for winning.

1252
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 12: But if you get in that emergency situation that the

1253
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 12: running game has to be able to handle it, I

1254
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 12: think I think that's maybe the biggest question I have

1255
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 12: for Shane Siken as an offensive mind and play caller

1256
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 12: after his first three seasons. It's just why why does

1257
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 12: the running Why does the running game struggle to run

1258
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 12: it when kind of everybody knows it's coming or they

1259
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 12: don't have the right quarterback pieces in place. Because we've

1260
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 12: had a version of this in the past where when

1261
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 12: Richardson was in the lineup. The running game and the

1262
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 12: running backs were a lot better than they were without

1263
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 12: him in the lineup. And it can be done.

1264
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 7: We've seen it here, you know.

1265
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 12: If Colts fans aren't as familiar with other teams in

1266
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 12: the league like we, you know, we've seen it here

1267
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 12: that the Colts in twenty nineteen and the Colts in

1268
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 12: twenty twenty one. I mean, neither of those teams made

1269
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 12: the playoffs, but they could still run the ball effectively

1270
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 12: and get one hundred yard rushers and stuff deep into

1271
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 12: the season when their quarterbacks were falling apart and they

1272
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 12: didn't want to call passing plays.

1273
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 7: So it can be done. I think that's maybe the.

1274
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 12: Most tangible thing I think on the offensive side of

1275
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 12: the ball as to how to handle adversity better. If

1276
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 12: you're not going to if you don't have your quarterback,

1277
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 12: you can't play the style they want to play or

1278
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 12: did play in the first ten games of the season.

1279
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 7: They've they've got to be able to lead on that

1280
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 7: running game.

1281
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 9: Last one for me, Joel, one of the things that

1282
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 9: stuck out to me from the Chris Ballard presser was

1283
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 9: him saying that he believes Daniel Jones is the long.

1284
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 5: And short term answer for the quarterback position.

1285
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 9: And I say that knowing that Daniel Jones is only

1286
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 9: played one full season in his first seven So what

1287
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 9: is your reaction to that admission, that confidence that Chris

1288
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 9: Ballard has in a quarterback who quite frankly, has not

1289
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 9: held up in his career.

1290
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's it's uh, that's that's significant. And I

1291
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 7: think we all knew just with the Gardener trade, you.

1292
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 12: Don't make that trade unless you're all in on Daniel

1293
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 12: Jones as a quarterback. I think that there's there's a

1294
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 12: spot with the with the Cults right now where they

1295
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 12: they Jones played great, he played great. He fits perfectly

1296
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 12: with Shane psych and and and you can see why

1297
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 12: that could work for a long time. But the injury

1298
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 12: part of it, the injury piece of it, with his.

1299
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 7: His history is is tough. And I think it's also

1300
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 7: tough to make some of those.

1301
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 12: Decisions at quarterback the same way you would at other positions.

1302
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 12: I think there's other positions where you move off a

1303
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 12: guy earlier with an injury than you would at.

1304
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 7: The quarterback position. And this is an extreme example.

1305
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 12: But like you know, Cincinnati is not getting rid of

1306
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 12: Joe Burrow, and Burrow has his own injury concerns, so teams,

1307
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 12: for whatever reason, seem to be more willing to bet

1308
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 12: on the the what happens when a player is on

1309
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 12: the field at quarterback than the fact that they've been injured.

1310
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 12: And I think that that just speaks to how difficult

1311
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 12: it is to find a quarterback that you're comfortable with

1312
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 12: and that you believe can play.

1313
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 7: Now.

1314
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 12: Whether or not that works out is tough. Like Jones,

1315
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 12: you'd think, well, Jones can play for more from the pocket,

1316
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 12: but he did this year. He played more almost exclusively

1317
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 12: from the pocket this year. Obviously he scrambled and did

1318
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 12: some stuff with his legs, but like he was a

1319
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 12: they didn't run him designed very much and he still

1320
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 12: got hurt, so that that is a concern for them

1321
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 12: going forward. I do think the contract, though, the way

1322
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 12: it sets up, based on the comparisons that would be

1323
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 12: the obvious ones, probably gives them an out if if

1324
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 12: Ballard and the Colts are wrong going forward on.

1325
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 7: His injury availability.

1326
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 5: Joel, if I gave you the NFC West or the field,

1327
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 5: who would you take to win the Super Bowl?

1328
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 7: I think I think I'm gonna take the NFC West.

1329
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 8: Wow.

1330
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 12: I like the I like the defenses in Seattle and

1331
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 12: Los Angeles quite a bit. Vetting on Darnold's probably not

1332
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 12: the right idea. Kyle Shanahana seems to win.

1333
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 7: No matter what. I like the rams a lot. I

1334
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 7: think that's part of it is I like the rams

1335
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 7: a lot.

1336
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 12: I was talking about this with some some friends though

1337
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 12: over the weekend when were watching football.

1338
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 7: Like this is the year to like, this is a

1339
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:32,439
Speaker 7: year that I kill.

1340
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 12: When was the last time we had a year where

1341
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 12: we got in the playoffs and there was no like

1342
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 12: clear favorite?

1343
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 5: I know, I know, yeah, I mean in the opening round, Joel,

1344
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 5: I want to say you had road teams favorite. In

1345
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 5: four the six the Eagles were a slight home favorite.

1346
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 5: And who is our other home I think it was

1347
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 5: Patriots last night, which you know, so far this weekend

1348
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 5: has played up to me.

1349
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 12: It's so wide open that I can't remember who the

1350
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 12: one seeds are. I there were like twice, there was

1351
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 12: like twice this weekend that I was like, I was.

1352
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 7: Like, when when do the Broncos play? I know it's like,

1353
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 7: oh the Broncos is the one seat?

1354
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that happened to me a Bud.

1355
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 12: That's how wide open this field is, and so I

1356
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 12: think it makes it makes predicting it hard. But I

1357
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 12: do think I like the Rams with Stafford, and with

1358
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 12: that they've got that defensive line where you've got depths

1359
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 12: and they could kind of keep coming at you.

1360
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 8: Joel.

1361
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 5: Apologies, but technical issues as always great stuff. And uh,

1362
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 5: hopefully we won't talk to you very soon, because that

1363
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 5: usually means something unforeseen has happened.

1364
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 12: Hey, you know, it's good to get out and talk

1365
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 12: Talca football every once in a while.

1366
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 7: Even in the middle of January, Thank you, sir. Talk

1367
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 7: to them.

1368
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 6: When pitchers and catchers report, we got a couple of weeks.

1369
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 7: That is true. I am already paying attention to it.

1370
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 5: So you sick, Joel, Do you'd honestly know the date

1371
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 5: of when pitchers and catchers do report?

1372
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1373
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 12: I don't know the date this year because I think

1374
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 12: it moves up like a week or so because of

1375
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 12: the World Baseball Classic, but it's usually like right around

1376
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 12: Valentine's Day. See, here's here's my baseball thing for you.

1377
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 12: For you guys, the Brewers International Class.

1378
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 7: This is just the name thing.

1379
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 12: The kid's only sixteen, who knows if he's gonna be

1380
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 12: any good. But one of the players in the Brugs

1381
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 12: international class is named Ricky Money. Oh my, it's an

1382
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 12: incredible name.

1383
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 5: Gosh, that is.

1384
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 3: Ye have Joel scouting sixteen year olds.

1385
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like to call Joel out, but I

1386
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 5: was texing my brother over the weekend and I don't know, Joel,

1387
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 5: if you can relate to this. It is incredible how

1388
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 5: many times I've refreshed the Notre Dame message boards this

1389
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 5: weekend for portal updates. It's it's so.

1390
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: Time.

1391
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 5: I know, it's so pathetic, and I mean, I got

1392
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 5: to admit it out loud.

1393
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 12: Kab and I both get this question a lot at

1394
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 12: the Cults Complex, where it's like what team, what team

1395
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 12: do you care about the most?

1396
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 7: What?

1397
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 12: What team is is the one that you're most into?

1398
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 12: And like, I think that's that's the that's the factor

1399
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 12: is is in the off season, in the middle of

1400
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 12: the off season, like when it's you know, twenty degrees

1401
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 12: outside in baseball seems really a really long way off,

1402
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 12: or they just finished Notre Dame season and you're like

1403
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 12: you're interested in what's next. That's the team, that's the

1404
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 12: team you're most interested in is whichever one you can't

1405
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 12: put down even when there's nothing to pay attention to.

1406
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 5: I swear Joel and I are better fathers than we
