Who would have thought 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: Indiana would have a top ten team and it would 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: be in football, not basketball. Trevor Lawrence's back wake Forest 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: Dupe game postponed, NBA Draft coming up tonight. Thank you 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: for all of those saying you look like Alec Baldwin 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: in the movie Beatle Juice based off of the glasses 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm wearing and the flannel that I have on. Other 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: than that, I have no similarities between myself and Alec Baldwin. Yes, Paul, 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: if that's an insult, that's the nicest insult of all time. 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it. If I look like 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin. He does have the same exact flannel and 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: red shirt underneath that you do, and spectacles. Huh. I 16 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: don't have Gena Davis standing next to me, though. Gina 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: Davis had a great run, great run Fellman Louise also 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: a little cameo there in Twittsie, but Gina Davis a 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: nice little run there. Thank you, Thank you, Tod. All right, 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: final hour here coming up. Phone calls are always welcome 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: eight seven seven three DP Show email under stp of 22 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle at DP show. Mclovin 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: said prior to the show, I've got an unbelievable against 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: the grain. That is not a direct quote you said, 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: I said, hyping hot NFL topics against the grain, I said, 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: compared to the last against the grain, it is unbelievable. Well, 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: then anything compared to bar it's a lot lower than 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: all right, I got three takes for you, Okay, and 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: you can give me a report card on how I do. Okay, 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: you're ready right now, I'm ready. Let's go. Okay, we 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: need some music. There we go. I'm gonna start right 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: now with Jets. DM. Joe Douglas is a genius. I'm 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: just gonna leave it at that. He traded Jamal Adams 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: for two first round picks, and Jamal Adams goes to 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Seattle and they can't stop anybody. And now he's sounding 36 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: off against his former teams, saying they didn't play hard, 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: that they got rid of a headache. Yeah, he's got 38 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: like eleven first round picks. Now he's only got. All 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: he's got to do is bench Joe Flacco and not 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: win a game. He's got Trevor Lawrence. That is setting 41 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: up amazing you don't want will make him a genius 42 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: if he actually drafts good players with all of those 43 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: draft picks. He's made one draft pick of McKay Beckton, 44 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: who everybody loves. Okay, by the way, Pete Carroll's supposed 45 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: to be a defensive minded head coach they have. They 46 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: have a defense that is historically bad. Matt Naggy is 47 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be an offensive genius with the Bears. They 48 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: have won the worst offenses in the league. Continue mcluck. 49 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: I heard Jamal Adams is going to be the shadow 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray tomorrow night. That'll be good luck with that. Yeah, 51 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guarantee not only with the Pittsburgh Teelers not 52 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: go undefeated, They're gonna lose at least two games. Yeah, 53 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: who are they losing too? It doesn't really matter. But 54 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: they've barely beat the Cowboys. They they were outgamed by Dallas. 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: This is not a sixteen oh team. They're not a 56 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: great team over under two and a half losses. Anybody 57 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: taking the over with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I got two losses, 58 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: make it one and a half. All right, they got 59 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: at Jacksonville. They'll win that. But then the Ravens on 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Night, Ravens, that's the only game there'll be an 61 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: underdog in. Well at Buffalo. I don't know. They might 62 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: be like a one or two point favorite. There probably 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: will be, but it's close. And then Indianapolis late, All right, 64 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: are they like? But you look, you've been interested in 65 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: the Steelers, but they're not like when you think of 66 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: sixteen oh teams? Is that ever? No? No, I just said, 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: if Ben stays healthy, that's a That was my interesting 68 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: team to start the year because Ben everything else was 69 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: in place. It was the question Ben stays healthy? All right? 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: Over the third one, I got the new home for 71 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. It's gonna solve everything. Oh, can we stop? 72 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: What is the infatuation with Carson Wentz? Talk shows? One 73 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars quarterback who lost his skills? Apparently there's 74 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: a few of those, aren't there? Why why Carson Wentz 75 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: to night? Jared Goff? That's an interesting question. Although golf 76 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: has played better this year, the team is playing better 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: If Philadelphia was playing better and Carson Wentz was struggling 78 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Like this, it wouldn't be as big a story. But 79 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: I mean, here's bred far Bred farv on Sirius XM 80 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 1: Blitz yesterday. Here's the question. Can Wentz make others better? 81 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: Like Brady and Russell Wilson, etc. Every guy's different. You know, 82 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is a different dynamic quarterback than Aaron Rodgers. 83 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: But when he's in there, he makes it look easy. 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: And certainly Tom Brady, you know Russell Wilson that they 85 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: make the average jo's better. They make an average team 86 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: or maybe an above average team better year in and 87 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: year out. And that's what you're looking for to me. 88 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: But they're just okay and for a lot of reasons. 89 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: But can he make us better okay? Or can someone 90 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: else make us better than okay? That's the question. I'm 91 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: amazed at the national talk shows and ESPN with First 92 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Take or Undisputed with Skip and Shannon, like they spend 93 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 1: an inordinate amount of time it feels like talking about 94 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and the Eagles. Eagles aren't a good team, 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: They're not a healthy team. Carson Wentz has not played 96 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: well at all, but it feels like the balance of 97 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: the NFL hinges on Carson Wentz and I don't understand it. 98 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: All that being said, I got a team for him. Okay, 99 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: how about next year the Indianapolis Cults. My theory is 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: Frank Reich was a genius behind that Super Bowl offense, 101 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: not Doug Peterson. Get Reich, I might pronounce that right 102 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz together again? Sure one now, because the 103 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: problem in the Eagles he's coaching, it's not Carson Wentz'd 104 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: you ever see him throwing to an open player? It 105 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: hasn't happened in months. Either he's going the wrong place 106 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: or something's going wrong there. But Brett Farve has gone 107 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: from Hey, they should have kept Nick Foles instead of 108 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Remember that a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, 109 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: how stupid was that? Nick Foles is not are you 110 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: smoking crack? Falls? Is fine? He is what he is. 111 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Carson. At least he's not thrown to the 112 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: other team. Carson's been thrown to the other team. Do 113 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: you honestly think they should have stayed with Nick Foles 114 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: in A nine Carson Wentz? Well, I do think nick 115 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: Foles would be way better in Philly than he is 116 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: in Chicago. That's not saying a lot, right, I mean, 117 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. I think Chicago would be terrible Barbs. 118 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: Now come back to say wins can make players better 119 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: like Brady does and Russell Wilson. That's not happen. So 120 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: make up your mind, like you want Nick Foles. No, 121 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: you don't want Nick Foles as a starter. Wonderful person, 122 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: had an unbelievable Super Bowl, but he's not your every week, 123 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: every game starter. Okay, if he completed that past was 124 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Miller at the end of the game and they 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: had won that game, would we it's game to game. 126 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: You never he's not. I'm not going game to game, 127 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: but he can win you game, but I'm not going 128 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: game the game. I'm not going to play that. Yeah, 129 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: everybody plays the game to game. You know. Every week 130 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: we go our Power five rankings, our MVP is this, 131 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: it's every week and then it's subject to change. I'm 132 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: gonna stay with Russell Wilson was my pick to start 133 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: the season as the MVP. All stay with that, even 134 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: though Patrick Mahomes right now should be the leading candidate. 135 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: And then what happens on Thursday night if Russell Wilson 136 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: plays extremely well and Kyler Murray doesn't play well, then 137 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: we go what and Russell back as the MVP. Yeah? Yeah, 138 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: maybe Kyler's not ready for the MVP. If Kyler plays 139 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: well and wins that game, now all of a sudden, 140 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the number one candidate for the MVP 141 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: and come on weekend and week out. That's not how 142 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: you you base that award on. But it felt like 143 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: how we ran out of things to talk about? How 144 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: about MVP every single week? When did we start this? 145 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: And never when Peyton Manning was when all those MVPs, 146 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: we didn't go, who's the MVP this week? It didn't happen. Yeah, Polly, 147 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: all right, I got a backup quarterback question based off 148 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: Nick Foles. Ready, you have a very good team, a 149 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: very competitive team, with an entrenched starting quarterback, so he's 150 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: in no danger to be benched. Would you rather sign 151 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: for the same price Jameis Winston, Nick Foles or Andy Dalton? 152 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Those are your three choices. They're all the same price, 153 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston. Really yeah? On a competitive team, yes, I 154 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: think with the proper coaching, I think that Jamis Winston 155 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: got his lunch handed to him, and maybe his ego 156 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: got diffused a little bit. They led a little air 157 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: out of that ego, and maybe he understands what he 158 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: needs to do. He has all the talent to do it. 159 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: I just think that he made poor decisions based off 160 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: of I used to do this at Florida State, well 161 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: the Saint Florida State and understanding how to play the 162 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: game and manage a game, take what it gives you, 163 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: forced things when you need to, and I think that 164 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: he's getting like this is a master class. If master 165 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: class had a class on learning to play the position 166 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: at quarterback, you would have Sean Payton and Drew Brees there, 167 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: and then you'd have a tutorial on Jameis Winston listening, Yeah, club, 168 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: I think it depends on the team, because are you 169 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: still nervous that Jamis is going to turn the ball over? 170 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: Like if you had a good run defense team, might 171 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: you go like a Foles or somebody more conservative because 172 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: Jamis is high, high risk, higher reward though are used 173 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: to be at least Yeah. I mean, if I want 174 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: a boring offense, then Nick Foles. I want a conservative offense, 175 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: then Nick Foles. But who has a boring offense in 176 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: the NFL, well, like the Ravens the Niners like. But 177 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens had a boring offense just this year. Before this, 178 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: they were a great offense. But I run offense. I mean, 179 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: like a run, don't turn the ball over, let your 180 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: defense win control of the ball, all that stuff. I 181 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: just don't understand the Carson Wentz phenomenon, like the topic 182 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: bar that all of a sudden it was Baker Mayfield 183 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden we moved over to 184 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Here, Well, that's why's Dak is hurt? We 185 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: can't talk? Oh my god, you're right. If Dak was playing, 186 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: no matter how he was playing, that would be compic 187 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: bar number one. Yes, how old do you guys think 188 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: Nick Foles is? Doesn't he seem like he's about thirty 189 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: six and like one step away from being m accowen 190 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: brother thirty one? He's thirty one years old. Yeah, you 191 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: might say around it's Russell right, Yeah, exactly, Satan, that's 192 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: quarterback prime Brandon and Arkansas.

Thank you, Brandon, Brandon, 212 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: Brandon Brandon. Now, I didn't want to have him go 213 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: into the weekend with his Bills mafia thinking that maybe 214 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: he's a Dolphins fan closet one. Let me see a 215 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: couple more phone calls, and Tom Allen, the Indiana head coach, 216 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: they're they still twenty one point underdogs against Ohio State 217 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: coming up this weekend. Trevor Lawrence is back practicing Wichita States. 218 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: Greg Marshall the school and basketball coach of Parted Ways, 219 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: but not before Marshall got seven and a half million 220 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: dollars to leave. I would think there would be a 221 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,119 Speaker 1: clause and moral clause and moral's clause in your contract 222 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: that if you're accused of the things that he's been 223 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: accused of, the reason why you're getting rid of him, 224 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: and then you pay him seven and a half million dollars. 225 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: I know, supposed to be all about the kids, it's 226 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: all about the grown ups there. And let me see 227 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: what else do we have. Luba Meir is back from 228 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: the Ukraine. Luba Meir, how are you then? Petra? Good morning, Hey, 229 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: I live in Syracuse, Sima. I like Buffalo Bills too, 230 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: so Josh Allen for MVP. But two things about the 231 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: draft in NBA. Two players I like to watch. Number 232 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: one Elijah Use from Syracuse, very smooth composed, will be 233 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: an upgrade for any team. And number two, uh Dallas, 234 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks really like our Eastern European block boys, so 235 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: they will I go, I think they will draft Alex 236 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: say Pouski. Look him up? Yeah I did, Yeah, I 237 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: didn't look up. I know Pokaseevski. I saw some highlights 238 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: earlier today on him. And yes, Dallas usually takes that 239 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: European player. Are we Are we supposed to call him 240 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: European or foreign born players? Because I remember the commissioner, 241 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: David Stern admonished me, and I think it was European players. 242 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: You're admonished for saying European. I think I said foreign 243 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: born players. Okay, but if you're not from Eastern Europe, 244 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: I would you say foreign born about a Canadian player? Yeah? 245 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: I guess, I mean, I don't know. I didn't. I 246 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: just remember the commissioner scolded me about that. Are we 247 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: supposed to say foreign born or like, if you're not 248 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: from Eastern Europe or European player, then I don't know. 249 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: You got r J. Barrett or whatever his name is. 250 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: He's from he plays for New Zealand. I know he's 251 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: not far J. Hampton. RJ. Hampton RJ. Barrett was Canadian, right, 252 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: Yes he was. Yeah, that was Jamal Murray all those guys. Yeah, 253 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: but I remember Mannix promise the Canadian team was going 254 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: to beat the American team. But I don't know if 255 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: I would got that. I think we're so used to 256 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: Mannic saying a few things that we just let a 257 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: few of them blow by. But RJ. Hampton's from Dallas, Texas, 258 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: but played professionally in Australia or New Zealand. Yeah, so 259 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: you'd have to call him a Is he an American 260 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: player or European player or not even europe I don't know. 261 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how this goes Micronesia. Yeah, he's definitely 262 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: an American player, But yeah, is er a style like 263 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: we were doing the Israeli player player cops? Do European 264 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: players still learn the game differently than American players, like, yeah, 265 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: like the eurostep and all. Yes, absolutely. I don't know 266 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: how prominent is in where you're born brought up in. Uh, 267 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: you know a lot of these academies and what they teach. 268 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: But you know a lot of these guys and that's 269 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: why the big men have. You know, there's so much 270 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: more advanced with ball handling shooting, because it's been stressed 271 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: in that and they're not in a highlight driven environment 272 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: where I got to posterize you or I got to 273 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: drill one now from forty feet. It's still learning the game, 274 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: and I think that that's why when they come over 275 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: to play, you're still getting somebody who is a little 276 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: bit more of a finished product. Yes, mclova. Do you 277 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: think owners are saying that their gis Hey, get me 278 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: another Luca Donchez. I want that guy. Good luck with that. 279 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: Drew in Wisconsin, by the way, Indiana twenty and a 280 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: half point underdog against the Ohio State. Hey Drew, Hey man, 281 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: how's it going? I got a question about Milwaukee Bucks. 282 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: So you get Drew a holiday and you get bog 283 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: On bond out of it. Yeah. The forty second overall pick, 284 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: what do you grab? You got Marcus Howard or what 285 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: do you I have no idea. I love Marcus Howard. 286 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: He can score, but I I'm sorry I didn't do 287 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: a deep dive on this second round. Paulie, I told 288 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: you I should have done my homework on the second 289 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: round of the NBA. Love Marcus Howard. Though I do 290 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: love Marcus Howard, he can, he's inched an offense. Yes, 291 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: m there's no more death knew for a prospect than 292 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: actually playing college basketball at Cassius Winston, Marcus Howard. These 293 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: guys are all like thirtieth right. It feels like, oh, 294 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: we know those guys right. Nobody wants that. No, we 295 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: don't know. We don't want what's right in front of us. 296 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: It's the possibility. My god, that guy's got great upside. 297 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: His ceiling is so high. Instead of Anthony Edwards was 298 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: a really good player in college. I don't know how 299 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: it translates to the pros, but it looks like he 300 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: can play offense and defense and he can get a 301 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: basket when you need. He's built right now, he's got 302 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: an NBA body. But we've seen him. Therefore there's no 303 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: mystery Like James Wiseman. There's more of a mystery there 304 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: because we only saw him three games. LaMelo Ball, we've 305 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: seen him, but we haven't seen you know, kind of 306 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: what this finished product is and how that's going to 307 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: translate into the NBA. I mean, there's just so many 308 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: of these players where you've only seen them. It's just 309 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: a flash across the screen, and usually we you know 310 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: we fall in love with the player of players during 311 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: March Madness. We didn't get that benefit this year. Take 312 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: a break. More phone calls coming up. We'll talk to 313 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: the head coach of my Indiana Hoosiers, Tom Allen. They're 314 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: big underdogs against Ohio State. But how impressive is this 315 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: that they're even in the conversation right now this part 316 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: of the season nineteen after the hour.

Marshall Coaster, Carolina, Liberty, Louisiana, Tulsa, 345 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's number seven byu is eight. Indiana has also been 346 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: one of those great stories. This was something that stood 347 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: out to me. According to ESPN Stats, it's slightly harder 348 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: for a top twenty five team to go undefeated against 349 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's ten game schedule then Ohio State's seven game schedule, 350 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: which i found pretty interesting. I don't know if we're 351 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: putting a Cincinnati on the same level or BYU as 352 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: some of these other schools, but I hope they get 353 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: a chance. This is why I would have hoped they 354 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: would have had maybe an eight team playoff to allow 355 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: some of these teams the opportunity, because not everybody's going 356 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: to play the same number of games. The Indiana Hoosiers 357 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: four and o right now. Their head coach is Tom Allen, 358 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: who joins us on the program. Coach, Congratulations, how surprised 359 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: are you that you're four and o right now going 360 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: into the Ohio State game. Well, thanks, Dan, appreciate you 361 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: having me. You know, I'm not going to sit here 362 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: and say I'm surprised, because I'm not. You know, our 363 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: team has building to this point for the last several years. 364 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 1: I'm sure not everybody agrees with my assessment, but in 365 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: terms of our locker room and our players, you talk 366 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: to them, they would give you a similar response. Your 367 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: voice sounds about eight games into a season, not four 368 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: games into a season. Coach, You've got to take care 369 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: of that voice. Yeah, I need to, but I don't 370 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: do a very good job of that. I do quite 371 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: a bit of yelling you do, do the players understand? 372 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: Like if you yell, do the players know they're in 373 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: trouble or they're they're just that's how you coach that. Well, 374 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: they'll know the difference. I'm usually pretty loud in general, 375 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: but it'll change in tone when it's not positive. But 376 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: I just I like coach with a lot of energy, 377 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: So I do a lot of communicating with our team 378 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: and try to reinforce the good end of bad. Well. Also, 379 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: no fans, so the players can't say, hey, I didn't 380 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: hear your coach. That's right, they can hear everything. Now, 381 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: what did you think when you watch the Ohio State tapes? 382 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: It's impressive? You know. The thing that jumps out to 383 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: me is just justin fields. I mean, he just he 384 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: never hardly throws the incompletion. I mean, it's it's amazing 385 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: how he's so accurate and he's just playing at an 386 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: extremely high level. You know, they're always every year we're playing, 387 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: they look similar in terms of they're just so big 388 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: and physical a lot of great athletes. Scheme is really 389 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: really good, very well coached, you know, so, but when 390 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: he got a player like Jessica, that's why I thought 391 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: last year's team was different than the previous team we 392 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: played against because of his ability to throw the football 393 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: so accurately, so effectively, and in his athleticism is elite 394 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: as well, so eas or what makes them really really special. 395 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: I think makes them different than when Dwayne Haskins was there. Yeah, 396 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: because he can run it in throw it. You know, 397 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: Dwayne was just a passer and the run through I 398 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: wasn't the same, whereas now you have the passing ability 399 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: and the running ability that I think is extremely high level. 400 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: So it puts a ton of stress on the defense. 401 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: What is your message? Do you already know what you're 402 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: going to say to your team before they take the 403 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: field against Ohio's take, I've got an idea. It kind 404 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: of builds throughout the week. I kind of you know, 405 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 1: take a lot in pry about it, ponder a lot 406 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: of things, figure out what they need to hear at 407 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: that moment. Obviously, if the preparation matters more than that final, 408 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: you know, charge to our team. But at the same time, 409 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: you know, we got to play with a ton of 410 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: confidence and we just got to go there a little rip. 411 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's a great opportunity for sure, but we're 412 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: playing a team that Indian hasn't beaten very frequently in 413 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: the past. Maybe you should watch Miracle on Ice with 414 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: her Brooks and get that speech and maybe maybe sprinkled 415 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: that in. Your kids might not be aware of that speech, coach, 416 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: so you could sample from herb Brooks and maybe maybe 417 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: I'll resonate with your kids. Yeah, you never know, But 418 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't think our guys think it's gonna take America. 419 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: He's got player basketball. Why not an eight team playoff 420 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: this year? If you look at you know what you 421 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: guys have been through college football has been through. You're 422 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: not sure how many games you're gonna play. It's not 423 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: going to be the summer the same number with the 424 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: SEC and the AEC in Big twelve. Isn't it really 425 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: crying out for an eighteen playoff this year? Yeah? I 426 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: would have to agree with you on that one. I 427 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: think it would make a ton of sense. There's so 428 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: many things, There's going to be so many inequities with 429 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: everybody's schedule, number of games played, and how do you 430 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: decide what matters or how do you what number do 431 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: you come up with when when the kids have no 432 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: control of any of that. So it'd be a perfect 433 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: time to expand it to that number. So it doesn't 434 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: look like that's going to happen, but it sure would 435 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense. What was that feeling 436 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: like in the locker room when you beat Penn State 437 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: in overtime? It was unbelievable, you know, just a culmination 438 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: of a lot of things. You know, this is a 439 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: room full of guys that believed in the vision that 440 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: we had for this program, even when many did not believe, 441 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: and that these guys did. That's why they came here, 442 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: coach and staff included, and so it was a special, 443 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: special time. It was a great, great feeling and one 444 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. It's one thing when you're a coach 445 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 1: and you see one of your players out there injured. 446 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: It's another thing, I'm sure when you look out there 447 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: and you see that it's your son, Thomas, a reserve 448 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: linebacker who got injured. What's that like, as not a 449 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: coach but a parent when you're watching what's going on. Yeah, 450 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: rips your heart out, you know, It's just it is 451 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: a little different. You know, I have to be honest 452 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: with you when it's your son, and I didn't know 453 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: at the time how serious it was. But when I 454 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: got out there and our medical guys whispered to me 455 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: that it was a dislocated hip, I was I couldn't 456 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: believe it. I knew that was serious injury. And so 457 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: my heart just sank because I knew this season was 458 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: over and obviously even his whole future was in jeopardy. 459 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: So but you know, he's a tough, tough kid, and 460 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: you got to be able to separate the two. But man, 461 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: I love him my whole heart, and he's a special 462 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: young man. We've been through a lot together or so, 463 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: but he had surgery yesterday and he's on his road 464 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: back to recovery. Yeah, it's one thing for you. You 465 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: got to you gotta coach a game. How did Mom 466 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: feel about that? Watching that's really hard? Well, you know, 467 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: it's it's all the travel and everything. So she wasn't 468 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: even at the game, And so I had our DFO 469 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: caller immediately because obviously she saw what happened when watching 470 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: the game but didn't know the details, and just tried 471 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: to get her to be able to stay informed. And 472 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: so that made it really really difficult on her for sure. So, 473 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: but it's part of being in this profession and part 474 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: of being what we do. We've kind of learned a 475 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: gotta have thick skin and gotta be tough. How many 476 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: jobs have you had? This is my eleventh school that 477 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: I've been at. That includes high school and college, so 478 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: number eleven. Yeah, and you were at Newcastle High School, right, 479 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: that's correct. That's where I went to school. Played for 480 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: my dad a couple years after Steve Alford. Yes, he's 481 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: five years older than me. I was the seventh grade 482 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: when he was a senior, and he would patted. So 483 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: you watched him in that gym? What's that gym? See 484 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: ten thousand, ten thousand, nbelieve? High school? Avery? How about 485 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: that ten thousand pounds only got twenty thousand? What was 486 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: it like to to watch Steve Alford in high school? Unbelievable? 487 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: Every game was sold out. I'd sit there and we 488 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: had I keep track of his They didn't have a 489 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: three cornerback then, so I keep track of all of 490 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: his points, all his shots, all his free throws. He 491 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: never missed the free throws. Unbelievable. But his dad was 492 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: the head coach for basketball obviously, and so yeah, pre 493 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: special time. He was so fun to watch and Uh. 494 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: I've always looked up to him. I wonder, what would 495 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: you have averaged with a three point shot? Back then? 496 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: In high we average thirty seven without it, so he 497 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: had to think it's kind to be mid for forties, 498 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. Yeah. Well, who's the biggest name out 499 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: of Newcastle High School? Steve Alford? Okay, well, if you 500 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. Yeah, well, hey, you know, congrats. I'm 501 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: old enough to remember when Indiana was competitive back in 502 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: the eighties. I think the running back was Mike hark Raider, 503 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: and I think he ran for a thousand yards. Coach 504 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: Corso was there. I go back a long way now. 505 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: I grew up an Ohio State fan, but I remember 506 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: when Indiana used to be. Okay, but you've you've brought 507 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: him back. I mean this is more than bringing him back. 508 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: This is something that Indiana football hadn't seen in a long, long, 509 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: long time. So congratulations on that, uh, and good luck 510 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: against Ohio State. Thank you, d I sure appreciate it 511 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: having an awesome day. That's Tom Allen. He's got that 512 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: voice there. It's like Doc Rivers, you know, whenever we 513 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: talked to it could be like week three of the 514 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: NBA season and Doc would be like this, how did 515 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: that happen? And I wonder if you just get to 516 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 1: a point where you strain your vocal cords and it 517 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: doesn't go away, they never heal. But if you're a coach, now, 518 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: that sounds like a coach. If you didn't get to 519 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: see him, you know on the show on Peacock, that 520 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: sounds like a football coach. But what he's done at 521 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: Indiana is really remarkable because it's a basketball state, as 522 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: we all know, and nobody ever looked back at Indiana 523 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: football and took them seriously. This year you have to 524 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: even though they're a big underdog against Ohio State, they're 525 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: the ninth ranked team in the country. And last year 526 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: there were eight and five. They hadn't had eight wins 527 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: in a season since nineteen ninety three. But I remember 528 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: when Lee Corso coached there Indiana, there was always with 529 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: the Big Ten and the Pack or the Big Eight. 530 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: At the time, there were certain schools where if you 531 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: said Kansas or Rice, some of these schools they would 532 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: just get blown out. They were always on the receiving 533 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: end of seventy seven and then they'd have nothing. When 534 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: Ohio State in Michigan, we would be Indiana would get 535 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: just absolutely trounced. Northwestern would get tround. There were certain 536 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: schools where you go, they were on the receiving end 537 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: of getting their butt kicked there. But Indiana this year 538 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: ninth seed overall, ninth team ranked in the country. That's 539 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: why coach would like to see an a team playoff. 540 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: He'd like to see a ten team playoff. I'm sure, yeah. 541 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: And you remember every once in a while, Indiana will 542 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: have a good player, especially Antoine radd L, the wide 543 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: receiver played for the Steelers. He was at Thornton High 544 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: School on the South Side near Way Group in Chicago, 545 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: and he was very good basketball and football. But a 546 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: lot of people want to him to switch positions. Indiansset 547 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: you can come here and play quarterback, and he kept 548 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: him relevant. It was a lot of fun to watch 549 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: this program brought to you by Mercedes AMG. Mercedes AMG 550 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: giving one hundred ten percent isn't just possible to mandatory. 551 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: They squeeze every last drop or performance out of every 552 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: last Coop, Sedan Roadster and suv visitt MDUSA dot com 553 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: slash AMGE Mercedes AMG Driving Performance. Yeah, I found that 554 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: interesting that Cincinnati's undefeated, and it would be harder for 555 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: a team to go undefeated with Cincinnati's schedule than it 556 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: would be Ohio States. I you know, the the selection 557 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: committee has got a really tough job this year. If 558 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna well, maybe they don't, maybe they're not going 559 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: to factor in by You're Cincinnati like they should. But 560 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: if they do, I hope that at least give a 561 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: little leniency to Let's just take away the school's name 562 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: and just look at you know, what the results are, 563 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: and that's really what it should be. It shouldn't be 564 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: Oh this is Team A, they're always great, and this 565 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: is team B. They're a surprise. You know, BYU will 566 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: play anybody anywhere, and they got a first round pick 567 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Cincinnati has got a really good defense. 568 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: They're fun team to watch. And I'm not saying Liberty 569 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: and Coastal Carolina can be Clemson or Ohio State or Alabama. 570 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: But all we want is a chance, and we don't 571 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: give a chance to anybody. In college football. You never 572 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: have David versus Goliath unless it's Appalachian State opens this 573 00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: season at Michigan. North Dakota State has to travel it's 574 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: the only way it happens, but never when it comes 575 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: or you might get a bowl game, might get a 576 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: bowl game where you get David versus Goliath. Go back 577 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: to Boise State. When you know they won that game 578 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: against Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. It looked like the 579 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: varsity and the junior varsity were on the field at 580 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: the same time. Boise State. If you would have said 581 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: they're winning this game when they walked on that field, 582 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: I have said, there is no way. In fact, I 583 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: was told by somebody close to somebody who might have 584 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: been the head coach saying that they hoped hoped to 585 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: stay within two touchdowns in that game. Yeah, Dan, you're 586 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: completely right. And it's the only major sport in America 587 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: where the teams control their schedule. It's the silliest thing 588 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: of all time. That's the biggest flaw with college football. 589 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: College football so the second most popular sport in our country. 590 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: And imagine if the NCAA and ESPN and Fox decided 591 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: all team schedules, just like Roger Goodell and his people 592 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: do with their team schedules, and Alabama would have to 593 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: play Ohio State Week one, and then you know, ls 594 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: you would have to play USC Week one, and the 595 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: teams like Indiana, they would earn their way to playing 596 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: top end teams the following year. But I wonder if 597 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: you eventually get the Power five conferences together, do they 598 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: do this with TV involved, where you say, we're going 599 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: to have sixteen college teams make the playoffs and you 600 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: have a committee and instead just you treat this like 601 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, where you have these teams that way if 602 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: Alabama plays Ohio State earlier in the year because hey, 603 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: we got the Buccaneers playing the Kansas City Chiefs, like 604 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: we do this in the NFL and we don't think 605 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: anything of it. But in college football, we've allowed these 606 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: coaches and ads to kind of manipulate their schedule where 607 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: that's you're gonna get four wins five wins automatically, and 608 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: then you're gonna have a couple of tough games, and 609 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: U see what you have is a bye week or 610 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: an easy game, and then you have a tough game 611 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: and then an easy game. They don't do that in 612 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: the NFL, And I wonder if college football ever gets 613 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: to the Power five conferences where they say, as the 614 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: TV executives bidding on this, as we pay our players. 615 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: We're going to come up with a schedule that's conducive 616 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: to what we want to show. Now, you've got sixty 617 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: schools that are gonna be involved in this. You know, 618 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: that's twice as many as the NFL. But if I 619 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: have even if I want to expand this to twenty 620 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: four schools make the playoffs, then I could do that. 621 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: I cut it off at ten games. Ten games for everybody. 622 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: We tell you who you're going to be playing and 623 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: when you're going to play them, and then you have 624 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: a bracket, and then you have an elimination, and then 625 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: you create a super Bowl atmosphere for college football. I 626 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: think that's where we're headed. I don't know when, anytime soon. Yes, Tom, 627 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: you're scrunching your face. This must be something very serious. No, 628 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: I imagine a selection Sunday type reveal when you have 629 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: that many, if you have sixteen, instead of just revealing 630 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: it 're having four or even eight. Once you're getting 631 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: into a range of about sixteen, and you have the 632 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: cameras on the schools as they wait to find out 633 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: if they got that sixteen spot or the twelveth spot 634 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. That would be so cool. Well, 635 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the spot you get. It's the spot 636 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: you get, not that you get a spot, it's who 637 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: are we going to be playing? And if you get 638 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: to twenty four teams, you know you're gonna have somebody 639 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: play fifteen games, maybe sixteen games. But I think we'll 640 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: get to the point where there'll be so much money 641 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: involved in that that the players will get paid. Yeah, Paully, 642 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: look at Alabama specifically, in other schools do this. I'm 643 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: not singling at Alabama, but twenty nineteen, Alabama on September 644 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: seven to play New Mexico State, they might as well 645 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: take that weekend off. That's not a game. And Nick 646 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: Saban complains why the fans aren't there because you're playing 647 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: New Mexico State at home and you're favored by fifty seven. 648 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: And then later in the season in November in Alabama's 649 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: playing Western Caroline at home, they're favored by sixty. That 650 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: is not a football game. And imagine that game we're 651 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: replaced with a good opponent on national TV. I know, 652 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: but they don't want that. These coaches don't want that. 653 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: These coaches get paid so much money.

It's like the teams 742 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: are either really good or really bad in the MAC 743 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: because these point spreads are crazy. A couple of better 744 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: ones though, Toledo given six and a half to Eastern Michigan. Yeah, 745 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: Toledo is good. And then Western Michigan Game of the 746 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: night giving a point and a half to the Chippawas 747 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: Broncos five start. Yeah. I like that. I like that 748 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: a lot. There's a couple of running backs in the MAC. 749 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing on Sunday, but they're gonna be 750 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: draft in the third and fourth or probably so Yeah, 751 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: that's usually what happens. You go, where did this guy 752 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: come from? Like Kareem Hunt, When you go where did 753 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: this guy come from? Was Kareem Hunt? Toledo. I think so. 754 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: I remember watching him. He never fumbled in college, and 755 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,720 Speaker 1: didn't he fumble on the first play, first carry Sunday 756 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: Night football. Didn't fumble in college at all, and then 757 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, his first carry he ends up fumbling. 758 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: Anybody go different than Anthony Edwards tonight is the first 759 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: pick overall mclovin. Okay, I'm gonna. I want to take 760 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: LaMelo is my number one? Oh all right, Paulie. I 761 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 1: think the timber Rolls will take LaMelo Ball, not should, 762 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: but will. Yeah. I don't think that's the right choice 763 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: for them. I think the Warriors will trade out. Okay, 764 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: it feels like Minnesota should be taken Anthony Edwards. But 765 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: if you take LaMelo Ball and you got D'Angelo Russell, 766 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: that just doesn't make any sense unless you have somebody 767 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: who's gonna take D'Angelo Russell off your hands, and then 768 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: Carl Anthony town I don't know who knows it's Minnesota, 769 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: So all bets are off, yamlo, I mean every mock. 770 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm just looking him now. Have Anthony Edwards. Yeah, it 771 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,479 Speaker 1: feels like that's the safe pick, the right pick for them, 772 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: and he's ready to play ready to play. I don't 773 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: I don't understand. You know, James Wiseman for Golden State, 774 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: how long does it take for him to be ready 775 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: to play or do what Golden State does now? And 776 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: maybe that's why Golden State wants to trade down. Yeah, mclovin, 777 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: is this gonna be a fun draft like usual? We're 778 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna make fun of the outfit and everything isn't gonna 779 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: get completely lost in the show. Well, it's virtual. How exciting? 780 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that. Okay, it's virtual. Yeah, I 781 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be too exciting. Speaking of which, Todd, 782 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: what what You're not too excited?
