IU-Western Kentucky Preview with Grant Shouse & Mike Hutsell (The IU Report, 3.42) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:07
[SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to a special edition of the IU Report with Grand Shops and My Cutsal, their preview of Indiana's game against Western Kentucky on Saturday, and it's only on Central Indiana Sports Report.
0:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Be warned there's some adult language and adult themes in this podcast, and maybe a little too much judging head coaches hotness, but before warned, it's also a lot of fun.
0:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Today's top story on the IE report, my cut soul.
0:39
[SPEAKER_01]: It was announced this week that Kurt Signetti is the second best looking head coach and college football.
0:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And Barriotum is the worst looking head coach and football.
0:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it needs to be celebrated.
0:51
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your thoughts?
0:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Once I want somebody to ask him about this in a press conference, that's what I want.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's dignity or barriotum?
1:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
1:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
1:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to know both of their thoughts.
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Wasn't Mani Diaz, Mani Diaz is number one.
1:11
[SPEAKER_00]: From Duke, Wisconsin, and somehow Davos snuck in the top five.
1:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently, like, dads are hot again.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I did hear Dabo was in there.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Sigdetti was in there.
1:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not realize Barriotum was chosen.
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he was, I mean, they've a ranked like all of them.
1:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He was dead last.
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, I mean, it's, it's, it rains a pores for the boiler makers.
1:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Could it get, like, is that really rock bottom for them?
1:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, you know, is that worse than an Indiana one than a astral championship?
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I'm sitting here, rocking my brain and I can't think of anyone ugly or than barriotum, so it's a rough go there.
2:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw someone point out when they hired him that he rarely looked like per gupey and now I can't unsee it.
2:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I saw a video of Bill Bella check this week, and as much as we're talking about
2:23
[SPEAKER_01]: No, kid, man, what a, I mean, I don't know what to say.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: The, how did this become the lead off of the show, Grant G. We're talking about Barry Odom's hotness, compared to Kurt Signetti's.
2:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sure.
2:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't make this list by the way.
2:44
[SPEAKER_01]: This was, I don't know who this is coming by.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, you know, this is a little unfair.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I got I got it is I get I'm gonna stand this is not me and anyway shape or form, but how can Barry Odom be considered less attractive than Brett Bielema?
3:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's true.
3:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got a good point.
3:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I never really thought of it that way.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Brett, we've all talked about it on the show before.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not want to see that
3:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We've made a song about it.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there was a song about it and everything.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: What Eli Dorkowitz?
3:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know where Ryan Day was on this list.
3:30
[SPEAKER_01]: He was pretty high from what I heard.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: That's insane to me.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Winning a sexy, that just for men is doing it's doing work.
3:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, where do you think like,
3:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, were you think Saben would have been on this list?
3:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, my galco, are we really judging the looks of men on the IE report right now?
3:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that what happened?
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm defending your boy here.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to find coaches that are more guard-boiled than my then-bariotom.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, we're trying to think.
4:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate it, I guess.
4:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt I was overly mean.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: to Purdue last week.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So Western Kentucky.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're incredibly handsome head coach Clay Hilton comes to town this weekend.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
4:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
4:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana.
4:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana has played them multiple times.
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, it's Tyson held not not Clay Hilton.
4:44
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Tyson
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Tyson, Clay was the USC coach that's his brother.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, my brother.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, my dad.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Dad was a believe Bruce Hilton or Barry.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Tyson, Tyson Hilton in a Western for a really long time.
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's kind of been a thorn in the side of Indiana a few times during his coaching tenure.
5:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's been the head coach there since 2019 and he's had Indiana on the ropes twice in that tenure in that Spanies had Indiana on the ropes twice.
5:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty twenty one you remember Indiana one thirty three thirty one.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the last when they had that year.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Got it right out.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: That was in Bowling Green.
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That was Indiana made a rare road trip to Bowling Green for that one.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the following year in 2022, they needed over time in a 51 yard field gold from Charles Campbell to walk it off against Western Kentucky 33 to 30.
5:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched a little bit of that game in 2022 and then I threw up and then I watched the one from 2021, just bits and pieces of it.
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know how that happened, man.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that was just disgusting football being played.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Western was a was being a key here.
6:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They've really hit some hard times.
6:17
[SPEAKER_00]: They were a good program for the level which they played for a while.
6:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and Helton has had multiple opportunities to look at other jobs, possibly leave for a slightly better job, never like a P4 opening, but he stuck around and loyalty is going to end up probably costing him in the end because a lot of the Louisville media, Western Kentucky is the Syracuse of Louisville media.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: all of our media went to Western Kentucky so we get more Western Kentucky updates then you could possibly ever hope for and they're not happy with their program right now and they just got blasted by Georgia.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Signetti is too interested in not matching what Georgia did to them because this is their last chance for an out of conference game
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They took a little bit of mercy on Howard with that five minute, run off in the fourth quarter.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to play for computers and style points and things like that.
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So I expect Indiana to be going out there looking for a big number on Saturday.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and obviously the goals to improve week to week and we've seen in the first two seasons that they've taken a big leap from week one to week three, one of their biggest leaps.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously you walk away from the North Texas game and they won 52 to 16 and you're still sitting there going, I just don't know, you got people playing that and then you come out and drop 55 on Howard and you walk away feeling really good about it.
7:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully the goal is to walk away feel and better than you did against Howard last week.
8:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Western Kentucky's going to, they lost in a vat at open the year and then they lost a
8:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what they did to get Georgia and Indiana back to back, but I guess when they scheduled this couple years ago, you know, they took a lot of money.
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's what they did.
8:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's like you looked at Jordan.
8:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we got to get a Georgia.
8:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, the next week, you know, we could we could sneak one out of Indiana.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how it used to be and then after that, they get rewarded.
8:31
[SPEAKER_01]: They play mercy her next week.
8:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know where that is.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's where they're playing next week, I believe it's an Ohio school that that's strictly against.
8:43
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't host an FBS team at home on a Saturday until November 14th because they play in the CUSA, where in the middle of the season, they're playing home games and they're playing conference games in the middle of the week, like on Tuesday and Wednesday.
9:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So they don't host a home Saturday game against an FBS spending until November 14th.
9:08
[SPEAKER_01]: They play Jack State.
9:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously this is not the Western Kentucky report, but there's just a little info on him here.
9:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana pretty much dominates every statistical category as as usual in these type of games.
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: The only one they the only three that they don't is path think first downs, Western Kentucky S19, Indiana as 18, Western Kentucky's ran the ball 79 times, Indiana's
9:45
[SPEAKER_01]: other than that Indiana weeds every statistical category as they should go into the smatch up.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you got to take for granted a short quarter in that Howard game as well.
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's no world.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, what's the spread like three straight.
10:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 44 and a half the spread here.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a three game stretch against Western or the Indian one by a total of eight points.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: and now we're 40, some odd favorites, for you, some odd point favorites going into this.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, these are these games that I know, and I understand why Indiana does it, and it drives everybody else in college football crazy, but it's really, really difficult to break down these games and discuss them, with any sort of like, I don't know.
10:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just hard to really just get to work up about these games.
10:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a four clock game.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be other games going at the same time that might draw attention away.
10:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't imagine.
10:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect what we've seen this year and he is going to have a pretty good crowd to start it out.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be 98 degrees by half time I think it stands out.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just the way it's gone so far this year.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Once conference play ramps up, that'll change.
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But right now the fan base is just kind of in wait and see, on hold, you know, wake us up.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a little arrogant to say that and sound that way.
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: These games are just really, really difficult to really get fired up about and, you know, hopefully we see a big day for Hoover, we get another big game for Charlie Becker, Hoover oddly enough, people are down on Hoover.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like for some odd reason.
11:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Through two games, he's got better numbers than Rork and Mendoza put up in there years.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he does eight touchdowns.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: going back a year.
11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you'd like to see a big name for him.
11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: See if Nick Marsh gets going a little bit.
11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think people are trying to make a story out of that that might not exist just yet.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He seems to be going along with things pretty well, but I think people are trying to say he's a now content, which he hasn't really shown any signs of.
12:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and stay healthy.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the
12:21
[SPEAKER_01]: do you have any recollection of those two wins the squeaked out against Western a couple years ago?
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The one in bowling green was a very well played Indiana didn't play poorly in that game.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds weird to say it was an ugly win.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an ugly win, but Indiana actually played pretty crisp.
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like offensively in that game.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Their defense was just getting gashed, which should have been a pretty good warning
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: things were not going to go well for the rest of that year.
12:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the game a couple years ago, it was one of those Tom Allen specials where you got so angry, you just swore you weren't going to watch the end of it, but then you ended up watching it.
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And they somehow come down.
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: They score in the last minute to force an overtime against a team that
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: It comes down to in college over time of all things, a 51 yard field goal, and thank God for Chuck Campbell just blasted away as he had a tendency to do one of the few highlights of that era, walk off.
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I do remember those two wins.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember a game and I think 2010 where I went to bowling green and watched, yes, you would have.
13:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, so that that that gives back a waste.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: In the end, we're going to game 38 to 21 in Bowling Green Indiana's never lost a Western Kentucky.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, they're five and out of all time against Western.
14:03
[SPEAKER_00]: A little trivia, a Western trivia.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we spent a lot of time on Western.
14:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And we didn't talk about how we're this much.
14:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about vice president.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: She wanted to drink with, but
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: What famous bloodline of coaches, one that has ties to Indiana University, one a national title with Western Kentucky football.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: That is so easy, Mike.
14:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be Jack Harball.
14:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Father of Jim and John Harball, Father of all of Mr. Tom Green, the running joke I had for years was, do you think Jack, John, and Jim, sit at Thanksgiving, and don't even let Tom sit at the table with them?
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Just thinking about that thanks giving set up though you got Jack.
15:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, here's my national title ring John.
15:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, here's my superbowl room.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: John Jim sitting there.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, here's my national title ring Tom, what do you got?
15:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I got this net from a big tin championship.
15:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We won where we lost the game.
15:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They're one more than one big 10 champions you come on you want to see it.
15:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We lost the game, but game it.
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a hell of a net out of it Hey, they they want a thriller up at Michigan to win the big 10 title They wanted out right with that one, but when they cut the net down after they lost it was like they were just gonna tie
15:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Right in Michael B.
15:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Back Saturday with an IU report breaking down IU's Dayton basketball schedule.
16:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Please make sure you are subscribed to YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple, or Amazon, so you don't miss it.
16:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We've been talking about it, and I've been telling you this is going to happen.
16:21
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to talk about Texas Ohio State.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: What a game.
16:27
[SPEAKER_01]: a great cloud football game that, unbelievable, come back, now 20 points, come back and win the game of your taxes.
16:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It should be a game that should be talked about because of how great it was.
16:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And fortunately, it's getting talked about because our expanding laughed at a fake AI video.
16:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And now everybody's losing their minds.
16:48
[SPEAKER_01]: We are now getting mad for laughing, and it is pretty pathetic.
16:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I grant.
16:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm older than you.
16:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to think sometimes that makes me wise or than you.
17:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is one of those subjects where I just feel like it's best to just stay on the sidelines.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't disagree, I think it's been an overblown story from the beginning.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Holly, as we, as I said in the last podcast, went out of her way to make it about Holly because she didn't get her in the game interview.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And she had to react on screen and, you know, my gosh, the world is the thing of the things
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: just because of sarca, I think it's just tiresome, it's so like who cares about that stupid on-field interview?
17:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody.
17:50
[SPEAKER_00]: If sarca doesn't talk to Holly Row,
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: My life doesn't change if Sart talks to Holly Row here's what I want to well we came back this has showed a lot of art and this just means so much for our kids and I'm so proud of Wow, I really needed that in my life so just get rid of the onfield in our view Well, well, and it I want to tie this into
18:16
[SPEAKER_01]: to doing games on the radio and you've covered it like you've covered high school sports you've been around it it's obviously different it's a different level but one of my things here and I'm not complaining about this I do think it's a little overbone is that my boss wants us to interview the coach after the game and that's fine I don't have a problem
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: when I'm doing a game and the football coach at Southwood, just lost 50 to nothing, he's not gonna wanna come up and talk.
18:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And quite frankly, I don't really wanna conduct the interview when they just lost 50 points.
19:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And his whole thing is, and I'm not bashing him, I don't think I'm doing this.
19:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm making this really clear, I'm not bashing him for this.
19:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a little silly to make these coaches have to do those things.
19:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, I work in it, dude, I deal with coaches every day.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I have to talk to them every single day almost.
19:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's something that I sometimes that you just particularly don't enjoy doing it.
19:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It may be...
19:34
[SPEAKER_01]: personally with the coach.
19:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It may be just something you don't feel is necessary.
19:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel that it's necessary to have to interview a volleyball coach after a game when they just lost three sets to nothing.
19:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's different the coach is being a douchebag.
19:51
[SPEAKER_01]: and isn't it going to come talk?
19:53
[SPEAKER_01]: There will be coaches that I will wait on because I know that they're going to come.
19:58
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to come up and talk or it's a coach that I've known and no personally.
20:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like I'm going to give them an opportunity.
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm never going to force anyone do that.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just using that as an example here.
20:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know your thoughts on that.
20:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to make this a bigger deal.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just my whole thing about it.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's kind of my rant.
20:21
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a video of Holly Row, like throwing Steve Sarquizian out of the stadium, like the ultimate warrior and then getting on a horse and riding up was, I mean, we say, why are we not bashing everybody for violence against Steve Sarquizian?
20:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the other, but the thing is, is like, this is harmful to women in sports.
20:45
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, what's really freaking harmful for women in sports?
20:49
[SPEAKER_00]: that no woman in sports is willing to address is Diana Rucini sleeping with an NFL coach.
20:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you know the stereotype and you know all the whispers that go on in the background is like, well, you know how she's getting her information.
21:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, guess what?
21:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw a pretty freaking up front example of that happening and not a single person has come out against Diana Rucini on that matter.
21:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what else I think herds women in sports
21:18
[SPEAKER_00]: going on a podcast and talking about how great hockey players butts are.
21:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine a guy going on a podcast and saying that about a W&BA player, but Aaron Andrews going in and saying, well, hockey players are the hottest and they've got the best butts.
21:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, how do you supposed to take that seriously?
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We're selecting outrage in these matters.
21:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just so frustrating because nobody, if you hadn't called attention to the slap video and just let it be what it was, which was a stupid AI video that a couple people chuckled at and then moved on.
22:06
[SPEAKER_00]: We're done, but we're five, six days out from the game now, and we're still discussing this.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: On what was a great college football game between two teams that could eventually face all for the national title?
22:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's be real.
22:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and unfortunately, the game itself has gotten lost in the shuffle of all this because
22:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's one of those things here, where if we're getting mad at people for laughing at a fake video, then I need to apologize to everybody's mom out there because when I was a little kid, I laughed at a yo mom and joking, I thought it was funny.
22:49
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the logic that we're using here as I need to apologize to every mother out there that I offended by laughing at that.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll heal together on this grand.
23:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you accept my apology.
23:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks so much to Grant and Mike.
23:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much for listening.
23:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Please do us a huge favor.
23:11
