  [SPEAKER_00]: Grant Shows and my Cutsle, your Indiana Hoosiers are big 10 champions, congratulations.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is, I mean, this is, I mean, this is by far gotta be the biggest thing to ever happen to this athletic department, and know the five national championships in basketball, but this is the different level we live in at different age now where football makes the money.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're statistically the worst college football program of all time.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now you're 13 and now you just beat the number one team in the country.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: You beat that team for the first time, so it's 1988.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're the number one seed in the playoff.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's the biggest win in the history of this program.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the biggest win in the history of Indian athletics.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And for people who have watched this their entire lives, there are no question tears tonight.
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this has got to be one of the greatest things I think I've ever experienced.
• 1:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is a take of beer and sit by the tombstone of your father, grandfather, or something and poor one and have one together guys.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this is just something that a lot of people never thought would happen.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of people never could see ever happening.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of people never got to see it happen because in the end it was just such a feudal refuge of just futility for years and here we are.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: In 2025, the Indiana Freakin Hoosers are the big-ton champions and going into the college football playoff undefeated and the number one overall seed.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not crying, Grant, you're crying.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I quite literally am crying.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to see happen with Indiana athletics, and now two of the three things that happened.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Number one was for Bob Knight to make a men's with Indiana come back to symboly all.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that happened.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Number two is winning the basketball.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was winning a national championship at basketball.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And number three was just for the football team to beat fucking Ohio State.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hate Ohio State more than I ate Ohio State football more than any other sporting any other team in the world.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: This just feels so sweet that they won the big ten and they did it over Ohio State.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: to your point, this is a lot to the cemetery and crack open a beer with grandpa or dad out there.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can think of so many people personally within my family that just this has got to be one of the most unbelievable feelings for them, you know.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: First ever, I, you football game I went to is with my grandpa in 2011.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: They won one game and it was the game we were at
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: For them to 15, almost 15 years later, do this is just unbelievable.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking about my grandparents tonight, you get to experience this in their later years of life who listen to this podcast, hopefully because I dropped the F on, they haven't turned it off yet.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So because they do that.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is, you know, huge for them.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking of my dad tonight, everything.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've gone through this.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: We've gone to games, you know.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, when they were running out of the tunnel before the game onto the field, just the emotions kicked in then, because you, I mean, you just can't believe this moment at they played in the game.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: They did not play well in the first half, who cares, who cares, who cares?
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: What matters is is that they, they won when it mattered for an endomendous.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think just, I know I declare that he lost the Heisman.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is, I think, officially regained back.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He dropped that pass off the becker down the, down the sideline.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: The upstairs ball to Starrat.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Elijah Starrat has come through in every game.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: This year besides the Penn State game when he didn't play, he's come through an every single game when they've needed him to come through.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: This guy is one of the all-time greats.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: We are watching the greatest football team in the history of this university.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I mean, that's not even up for debate at this point.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, sorry to all you purest to love the 1967 Rose Bowl team.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: You've officially been surpassed now by just an amazing, not only team, but the coaching staff, man.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: The job that that team that those guys did, the offense was a little, obviously shaky, a little too conservative sometimes for my taste,
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: playing that defense, you kind of have to be because if you do something stupid, they're going to make you pay for it.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: Just like they did in the first half on that screen best that bumps straight up into the air and set up a short field for Ohio State's only touchdown.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: But the defensive line, the defensive coordinator, say and had not been touched this year.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they got to him five times tonight.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I just goes to
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: They took away the deep ball.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: They hit the one deep pass to Jeremiah Smith.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: But the way they were playing the safety is saying did not see anything close to that all season.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just in awe, I'm completely shocked.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: I did not, as much as I wanted to, I did not expect a win tonight.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: And here we are.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't either.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't either.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I can we said in the in the preview podcast, this is like the final boss and you may have to play the final boss twice, but Indiana finally slayed that dragon, there's absolutely no one Paul fine bomb Heather dennage Brandon Walker.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Ohio's Tate on Twitter.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: None of these morons can say well Indiana doesn't belong here.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_03]: The four horsemen podcast, who still thinks it's 1988 and Notre Dame matters.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: Congratulations.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Indiana just freaking put it right up your ass.
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: The losers are the best team in college football going into the playoff.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: All right, can you believe that might you believe it really say in this?
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can't it's unreal that I really try not to talk crap after games on on social media I've been posting Have to every game never satisfied.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is pretty satisfying.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is this is close to
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, can they win the national championship?
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: They can win the national championship.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they will.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And December on December 6th at 11.41pm right now.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I quite frankly don't care.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: These people need to know that Indiana was not a fluke in his here.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are here and they're not going anywhere.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: can they win the national title?
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, absolutely.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're going to be the number one seed going in, but it's really freaking hard to win.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oregon was the best team in college football last year.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: They got blitzed in one game, and it was over.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: Ohio State is a good team.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: You will probably have to face that team again if you want to win it all.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: But I'd like you, I don't care right now.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is something that I never thought in my life I would see happen.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Indiana, one, three things that I never thought I would see happen.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: Indiana, Bito, Ohio, state, and football.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 1988 was all, awful, long time ago.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: My sister graduated from high school that year, she's old.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: She has set a birthday yesterday.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: She's really old.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: I hope she's listening.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: to Indiana won the big ten championship game.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: Never thought I'd even see them play in the stupid thing.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: In three, Indiana's gonna play in passive freakin' Dina, man.
• 9:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, they've already played there, too.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: You play to Sean Foster on a Saturday night on peacock.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: Does it quite have the same vibe as you're gonna be playing in the Rose Bowl against,
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: Notre Dame or Oklahoma, whoever the eight nine matchup is, you're going to be playing that game on freaking New Year's weekend in Pasadena.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: The sun going down over the mountains.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: We've seen every team in the world seem to glue play in that game except for us.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yep, and in Ruggers, but you know, come on, it's Ruggers.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: And here we are.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: So I don't care about the national championship right now.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm still riding this because this is for all the crap we've heard for two years about, oh, you know, play anybody and you cancel games against mediocre ACC teams and that just shows how much of a fraud you are.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: You don't even get on a plane for the first five weeks of the season.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: I guess what?
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: In the last two years, it needed as 24 and 2 and now they're a big 10 champion.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, again, shove it up your ass, and I'm sorry, Grant, if you're great in parents or listening, but you could blame it, you could blame it on me.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, who cares about what happened in the game with this one?
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get into more of that on the I-Europe where it wants to be kind of.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, settle down for this is going to take a while to settle down because here's the thing is, this is what you all have to celebrate.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, this all about it's got to be all about the celebration who cares about the game.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: This, this, this, this really, I, here's the thing, the final snap, the final throw of the game was probably about what 20, 25 minutes to go at the time of this week, where I still have an open Twitter yet.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm waiting on Twitter to see what the reception is there from the national people.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: The thing is, is that every time this team does something, it seems as if the national media has an excuse on the Y Indian, I copped with what they accomplished.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they don't, you know, like Mike said, they don't play nobody, they don't schedule nobody.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: They can't play games.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, they beat Penn State in an unbelievable fashion, oh, Penn State's not very good.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, oh, they beat Oregon on the road.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, well, Oregon was kind of banged up, Dante Moore got banged up,
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, beat Illinois by 53 points at home.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Illinois was overrated at the time.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Beat Iowa, well, Iowa's not very good.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: You kind of got lucky.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they did.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they just beat the number one team in the country, the defending frickin' national champions to go 13 and out and win the big 10 title out right.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: outright when the big tent title makes seriously what's the excuse going to be all will julian say in like like in Ohio state Ryan day and them are they just didn't want to play hard because they didn't want the one see because they saw with the ones what happened all the by teams that's true they're still going to get a buy the excuses are gone like like you cannot come up with an excuse after this
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Indiana won the big thin championship and by the way, I know we're not here.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm really talking about the game.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: But can I just point out the fact that they pretty much dominated the second half?
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like they did.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Even season.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: But all you can't run on Ohio State.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: Well, they kind of did.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: They hit the 100 yard mark.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: nobody really had been doing that this year.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: You can't get to Julian say, and they sucked him five times.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: Indiana can't win in the trenches against Ohio State.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: They had a backup right tackle who's a freaking turn style, and they still won the freaking trenches against Ohio State.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: You can't just credit Indiana more, any more as a football team.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: If you wanted to say last year, they lost every good dinner they played.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: It is a fact, but the two teams they played and lost to played for the Fricket National Championship game, a lot of teams lost to those guys this year.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: Nobody's beaten them.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: 13 games and nobody has beaten them.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they just went and beat Ohio Freak in state, the defending national champs, like
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: and they beat him.
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they really didn't even any in a game Ohio State chances to put the game away early.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then thankfully Ohio State was the one who made the same bonehead mistakes in the animated and the first half in the second half.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: And how big we'll talk about the game more in death.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: But how big was that fourth down where they reviewed it?
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: play the game you had to start thinking then okay maybe this is going a different way because that is never gone in Indiana's favor and the history of this rivalry ever history of this rivalry it's never happened so I mean the myth field goal
• 14:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: When they missed the field goal, it made, I mean, you felt really good after, uh, when you knew Rattitch missed the field goal earlier on in the game, when he missed that field goal, I mean, I really thought it could get away from a minute could be a long night.
• 14:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then again, Indiana only gave up one touchdown.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: one touchdown the defense on the short field dominant.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that means that by the time they played their next game, it will be almost, well, yeah, it will be a month and a half.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Since they've given up a touchdown, it was that West constant touchdown that put being the hospital down there.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: think about that.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and we've talked about we've talked about this defense so many times this year where yeah, they'll give up the big vacation on big play and a lot of times it's against the team that there's so much better than that it doesn't matter.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: But teams will get yards a lot of times against this defense.
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: But when it truly matters, they can they rise up and they stop you in key spots.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: And that's what they did again tonight.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Ohio State had two drives into the red zone in the second half.
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: Neither one of them yielded points.
• 15:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: They had the fourth downstop and then they had the the door cubist the field goal.
• 15:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, Dork.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: But I did I did I did curse you once, Grant.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: Because you said in the you said in the preview, Indiana was better at special teams than Ohio State and then radish it went out and missed his first field goal of the year.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know, and as soon as I saw a miss that I knew, I knew immediately, I'm not going to lie.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was pretty horrible that preview podcast because I said that Indiana wins close games.
• 16:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not going to want to have a project in the loose by three, and they won by three, even though I said they went close, here, here, here, here's the thing guys true story, true story, this happened to me today at the Purdue, I was state basketball game, by the way, don't ask a Purdue fan, what happened on December 6, 2025.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like the worst day their lives.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, before the game, see the games on CBS, Brad Nessler, Bill Raffree, are on the call.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, Brad Nessler did the Indiana Oregon game earlier this year.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he's standing there.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I went up, I introduced myself and shook his hand.
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we had a, oh, probably two, three minute conversation about I.
• 16:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: You football and he asked me, he goes, how do you feel about tonight?
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I go, I think if it's the close game in the fourth quarter, I think though when he goes, I think they will too.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's no question.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's coming from someone who's seen this team, you know, on a couple of occasions this year, and you've seen Ohio State quite a bit.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that that's that's true story Brad Ness through there from CBS who's doing the Purdue game today told me told me that.
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just kept thinking where it kept getting tight because I really thought that Ohio State they chewed up that clock on their second, I guess, second to last drive of the game.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're marching down the field and I'm thinking if Julian's say and it's got anything to do to the highsmen, it's right now, they're driving down the field.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is his highsmen moment and the kicker, Jaden Field, and just screwed it up for him.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: Part line and day twice on that draw and those last, those two red zone drives, third and one.
• 17:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: They go to the air and they could, they did bullying and you ain't a little bit in the run game, it felt like.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: Both times they're incomplete and then they missed the fourth down and then they dorked the field goal.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, thanks, Heartline, and all the way.
• 18:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: Also, first time, maybe in my life, I ever saw an illegal block by a defensive player.
• 18:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, very interesting interpretation of the rules, but hey, it doesn't matter because we're sitting here on December 6th, 2025 and in the end of Hoosiers are the big-din football champions, and we'll be the number one seed when the brackets are reviewed tomorrow.
• 18:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unbelievable.
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Unbelievable.
• 18:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: We know that he's your path to a national championship.
• 18:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can't believe I just said that.
