0:01
[SPEAKER_01]: What you're listening to now is the syndrome and the in a sports report I you report with Grant Shows and now apparently as we found out tonight officially my cuttle as well That was kind of the plan, but We hadn't been able to make our schedules match to allow Mike to become the full-time co-host of the IU report
0:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He was contributing on our game previews and our game reactions, but had not been able to be on the IU report much, but now he's going to be, and we are very excited about that.
0:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Please join us Friday for our IU Indiana State preview, although we'll probably be most of our time talking about IU Illinois the following week.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: which we definitely won't get on to Saturday, hopefully earlier Saturday than later, but Grant and I are both covering high school football for a day night as it should be.
1:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So it may be a little while before we get to that on Saturday, but we are committed to reacting to every single IU football game and men's basketball game and probably women's basketball as well with Michelle Garmin.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: That's our plan.
1:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Please keep coming back and
1:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Help spread the words of the Central Indiana Sports Report is here talking about Central Indiana Sports every single day by sharing this podcast with anybody who you think would be interested.
1:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It would help us out a lot.
1:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we're sitting to the Central Indiana Sports Report with your host, Greg Mendel.
1:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, who's your fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for the IU Report with Grant Shouse, and today's guest, Mike Hudsel, to talk about some really good news Grant.
2:02
[SPEAKER_01]: What is it?
2:03
[SPEAKER_03]: My cuttle is not more of a guest as he is part of the I was going to say what point you are going to move into the neighborhood.
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, hey, if Grant says you're you get the title you get the title man.
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, dude Seriously, you're acting like he's sleeping in a tent just they got the street on we usually record the IE report on Tuesday at four o'clock and my cuttle would not be available so
2:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm good with with recording at late.
2:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, just include my to love it.
2:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, Lewis more finally for the next two weeks, which is what they keep doing.
2:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Which is starting to make zero sense because at this point, it's like, okay, if we keep extending this dude for two weeks and making him eligible, where are we actually going to declare if he's going to be ineligible or not?
2:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Because if you're just going to do this, then you might as well just let him play the all year.
2:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Christmas.
3:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, retro, retro, actually.
3:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, when they needing for the music city bowl.
3:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
3:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I gave a good start.
3:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I gave a good Clemson and the whatever bowl game we play the Tom Allen ball.
3:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Getting him eligible is big.
3:20
[SPEAKER_03]: He is such a crucial piece for them in that
3:28
[SPEAKER_03]: So you keep him and then of course you still have Jamari Sharpe and Amari Farrell, the Angelo Ponds, but he is one of the more crucial pieces to that defense.
3:38
[SPEAKER_03]: So for him to be eligible and of course with being eligible means you got to keep him healthy.
3:45
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to keep everybody healthy.
3:46
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's a good sign and I'm really excited.
3:50
[SPEAKER_03]: The other big news I thought you were referring to is that Indiana is pretty much
3:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Besides this coming Friday with Indiana State sold out for the rest of the year, they sold out the Michigan State game, they sold out the UCLA game, and they're limited tickets available for the Wisconsin game, which is probably going to be a sellout by the time that rolls around.
4:13
[SPEAKER_03]: We still have another two months before then.
4:16
[SPEAKER_03]: That's big, you know, to sell those games out Ellen always already sold out to, you know, we knew that back in July that it was sold out.
4:25
[SPEAKER_03]: So Memorial Stadium for the rest of the year, probably excluding Friday night, there's still going to be a lot of, so it'll be quite a few empty seats, but including yours.
4:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Memorial Stadium will be grand chalice, but there will still be a game happening.
4:50
[SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be NTC to there, but we'll be playing it without you.
4:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, right?
4:55
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like I don't know why they didn't ask, but if it was any game to be on a Friday, I'd rather be that one than literally any other rest that are.
5:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so excited about these selloffs.
5:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait to hear what the soundtrack is for some of these games.
5:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm thinking maybe we'll get some mother by Danzig.
5:17
[SPEAKER_02]: What, I mean, what's some crappy 1990s rap we can throw out there?
5:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't be who let the dogs out.
5:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish I was a little bit taller by ski low, maybe.
5:30
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be an upgrade.
5:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought maybe Greg's big news was it's kind of being hinted at.
5:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Now maybe I don't know who knows what.
5:39
[SPEAKER_02]: that it's starting to look more and more like next weekend is going to be a game day.
5:45
[SPEAKER_03]: And see, I've been talking to people about that.
5:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it could be too, but in my opinion, I think game day, if everything goes to the way it's probably supposed to go this week.
5:59
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think game day is going to be at the zoo.
6:01
[SPEAKER_03]: They're playing South Carolina.
6:03
[SPEAKER_03]: They have a traveling trophy game between that game
6:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Mizzou and 15 years.
6:12
[SPEAKER_02]: What historic traveling trophy rivalry can break in Mizzou and South Carolina?
6:20
[SPEAKER_03]: It's because they're both at Columbia, South Carolina, Columbia, Missouri.
6:26
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like one of those shitty house divided in the NN Illinois's rivalry goes back to the 1800s.
6:32
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like you see one of those weird house divided
6:40
[SPEAKER_02]: and Campbell or something.
6:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I, yeah, that's my image that I was driving through West Cots in this summer on my way to Minnesota and poor bastard.
6:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I, yeah, no kidding.
6:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw a car going down the road that had a flag in the window.
7:01
[SPEAKER_03]: It was one of those house-to-vited flags, but it was with funny enough Indiana and Maryland.
7:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
7:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And I can $22,000 to go.
7:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there was, yeah.
7:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, they never fighting in 2002, man, there was some, there was some happy and heartbroken people in that house in 2002, but it was out, I don't ever get it.
7:25
[SPEAKER_03]: It was south of Madison, Wisconsin.
7:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw that.
7:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, what in the hell am I looking at here?
7:33
[SPEAKER_03]: but you know with the game day thing and I could be wrong game day could be in Bloomington and I think it will and I hope it will but the other one that I think would be in consideration is that South Carolina Missouri game and also just due to the fact that it's a 730 game on NBC.
7:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that may be the trade-off, you know, no game day there, but still get to have a night game on national TV and prime time.
8:05
[SPEAKER_03]: That could be that could be part of it.
8:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we know if all things are equal, the just because of the relationship they have, they're going to go to the SEC school.
8:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
8:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
8:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, whatever shitty Columbia bragging rights nonsense that
8:23
[SPEAKER_02]: We're trying to create an out of thin air.
8:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's just throw it in Indiana and Washington rivalry.
8:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Just for fun, the battle for new Washington, my hometown.
8:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I got one.
8:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Chris Cross, I'll make it.
8:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Jump, jump, there you go.
8:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, heading into the fourth corner.
8:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get on your feet, everybody, and turn those red jerseys backwards folks.
8:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We're here to make it.
8:51
[SPEAKER_01]: jump jump jump jump.
8:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Or for some reason it would have to be the day I'm pet bay and playing jump jump.
9:02
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't exclude them.
9:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, God forbid.
9:05
[SPEAKER_02]: All right anyway, so we're not even going to really discuss Friday night, right?
9:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, S&P numbers, I think it's a 41.
9:14
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do a preview show guys.
9:18
[SPEAKER_01]: where we're going to talk a little Indian state and then mostly talk about Illinois.
9:24
[SPEAKER_03]: The thing is with Friday is that I mean, the two programs are night and day.
9:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Indiana states 2 and a they beat team.
9:33
[SPEAKER_03]: They've actually scored a lot of points and in the games that they've won.
9:36
[SPEAKER_03]: They put up good numbers.
9:37
[SPEAKER_03]: It's.
9:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, it is night and day and even Tom Owens worst teams beat Indiana State beat him handedly and I know we'll say that again in our preview.
9:49
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's one of those things where you can't overlook the opponent, but you also, I will.
10:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Great.
10:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of just touched based on this briefly over the weekend, but can we just get into
10:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it sounds like sour grapes or whatever, but these rankings are just an absolute far, right?
10:13
[SPEAKER_02]: These are used for playoff purposes, but like Grant said, Florida State would from unranked to 10th because they beat me, you, and Grant effectively, and a 77-nothing game.
10:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I play in Western Illinois and jumping 20 spots in the rankings.
10:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Has anybody seen the video of the AP voter who's trying to justify why it's okay that she moved Florida up to spots this week?
10:43
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not see that.
10:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's it's all over.
10:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all over the Twitter X timeline.
10:49
[SPEAKER_02]: If you if you get a chance to find it.
10:51
[SPEAKER_02]: She basically says like, you know, my vote really doesn't matter.
10:54
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of voters.
10:56
[SPEAKER_02]: She did not rank South Florida.
10:59
[SPEAKER_02]: She moved Florida up to spots.
11:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is a person whose vote is effectively maybe deciding where game day is gonna go, or potentially down the road, college football playoff rankings.
11:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Things like that, we just gotta get rid of these polls until what October, does that seem like the right way to do it?
11:26
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't rank.
11:27
[SPEAKER_03]: You have one ranking for one month.
11:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Instant October, you can start ranking it.
11:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think it's almost like it's a corrupt thing.
11:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Dude, like Indiana 156th and nine, and they moved up one spot.
11:43
[SPEAKER_02]: The Tennessee would have seven spots.
11:47
[SPEAKER_03]: They said they did FC and they beat a borderline FCS.
11:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they did beat an FCS.
11:52
[SPEAKER_03]: They jumped seven spots.
11:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And now we're sitting there and we now know why game day is going to Knoxville this week, and you now know why.
12:05
[SPEAKER_03]: They jump seven spots is because they wanted it to look closer between them in Georgia and the rankings and what happened to Georgia and the rankings when they only beat Austin P 28 to six.
12:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Did they drop like in the end of drop last week, because I don't think they did.
12:22
[SPEAKER_03]: My thing is because I think.
12:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Even as in the big 10, I know we're talking about this kind of from an Indiana standpoint, but I think this would still be the argument.
12:32
[SPEAKER_03]: if we were talking about it all on aoy was in this situation or if Michigan's date or one of the other schools because it sounds like we're belly aching it sounds like we're bitching it's Purdue that far fetch that you didn't mention the Purdue could one day be oh yeah they yeah burn then they're like they they should I don't care if they're undefeated they they're not in that they wouldn't be in my bowl oh that's when I'll start to hate my my thing is is
12:59
[SPEAKER_03]: is with the AP polls that I know it sounds like we're belly aching and all that, but it it truly is like it's almost not fair to these other teams.
13:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys is in the end, Indiana is going to get a chance to play itself into or out of any playoff position.
13:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I, yeah, 100% 100%.
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely great, but think about it from this standpoint, Indiana is too, you know,
13:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Great, and they haven't been in the mids, great, great opponents, but because of where Alabama started the season, they got steam roll by a team that went to in 10 last year, and they're still ranked ahead of Indiana.
13:38
[SPEAKER_02]: That's nonsense.
13:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And all of a sudden, the team that beat Alabama went from an afterthought, ninth place, ACC team to, oh, they're the 10th, best team in the country.
13:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty real.
13:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty real.
13:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, but again,
13:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why we need to have a large playoff field shorten the regular season by one game.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Have a large playoff field and actually find out who the best team is.
14:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a, I'm never, I'm not a big, make it bigger.
14:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always a, I thought four teams was learning.
14:16
[SPEAKER_02]: F, C, S, Mike.
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought four teams was too many.
14:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the perfect amount is, is where it's at with 12.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: 12's probably as good as it needs to be for every conference champion man that turn it would be so much fun after the first two weeks.
14:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Be everyone would fill out a bracket, everyone would pay attention.
14:37
[SPEAKER_01]: It would do nothing but great things for code football.
14:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I could tell you this week, we say all this stuff about the cost of a player of this little kind of semi not really off topic, but no matter how good they try and make that playoff,
14:52
[SPEAKER_03]: the college football playoff will still never be as good or as better as the NCAA tournament in March.
15:01
[SPEAKER_02]: The college basketball has made itself a one month sport because of it.
15:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So down you have college basketball which is huge because of March.
15:11
[SPEAKER_02]: But nobody gives a damn about games in December.
15:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Whereas in college.
15:17
[SPEAKER_03]: That's unfortunate.
15:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Because there's a lot of great records using college basketball games.
15:23
[SPEAKER_02]: But college football used to have that playoff every freaking week.
15:28
[SPEAKER_02]: You still do it.
15:30
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they don't.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't.
15:32
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't.
15:33
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't.
15:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Because watch when Alabama at nine and three gets the 12th spot this year.
15:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think that matters?
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think there's anything that's voted 24?
15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything that's deserving to even have a chance will get in.
15:49
[SPEAKER_03]: there was still the teams that we'll be talking about that were meant.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but any team that could realistically have a chance to win it will get in was was last year's playoff was last year's playoff worse because Miami didn't get in.
16:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I didn't get in all missed it and get in those are the teams that effectively you're sitting here campaigning for those teams to get in.
16:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Those are the teams you want to see and you want to see three loss at.
16:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Ole Miss who lost a garbage Kentucky last year and just like in the NCAA and Florida, the men's basketball teams aren't all good either.
16:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and we already decided diluted the regular season down to nobody gives a kid.
16:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Except for in football, it'll be different because there are fewer games and there are fewer spots and every so many games will have huge implications for the playoff.
16:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I'm sitting for the playoffs and they won't, it's because you're, you're, you're kind of judging your argument because I'm Ole Miss losing to Kentucky last year, would have done nothing to keep them out of the playoffs.
16:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like Purdue lost to IU and basketball last year and still deserve to be in the NZ tournament.
17:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Because there's 58 teams.
17:06
[SPEAKER_03]: There's room for air.
17:07
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my point.
17:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I, but in college football,
17:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there should.
17:14
[SPEAKER_01]: There should not be much resolution every other sport on the planet, including the NFL.
17:20
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not happens right now.
17:21
[SPEAKER_02]: You're allowed to do this again without taking an app ever because you're making the stupidest arguments I've ever heard of my life.
17:31
[SPEAKER_01]: There are more college football teams than NFL teams.
17:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Greg tired.
17:36
[SPEAKER_01]: They're half the amount of playoff teams.
17:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Greg taken.
17:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the question.
17:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to ask you guys here and it starts with this.
17:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you guys saw this, but Signetti was asked in the post game.
17:54
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, does it feel good to kind of be relieved that you played well?
17:59
[SPEAKER_03]: And finally got maybe got to where you wanted to see your football team and he's like, I'm never relieved.
18:04
[SPEAKER_03]: He goes, I'll be a little bit relieved when I go up to my office and crack a beer after this.
18:09
[SPEAKER_03]: My question to you is, what kind of beer is that dude really drinking?
18:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he's an upland who's your game day logger guy with no doubt.
18:18
[SPEAKER_02]: He's definitely an upland guy.
18:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're right.
18:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're right.
18:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he used to be, but he is now.
18:25
[SPEAKER_02]: He absolutely is now.
18:26
[SPEAKER_02]: He's done going up and cracking open a bush light.
18:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
18:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's a coarser of butch.
18:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if he's going that direction, he's definitely PBR.
18:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not.
18:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I can see that.
18:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I could see that.
18:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
18:41
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not a goodster.
18:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not a bad guy.
18:44
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not bad, why is there?
18:46
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't make a little filter out.
18:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you know what?
18:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, guys, I may have cracked it.
18:51
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a user, right?
18:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Steel City.
18:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I see.
18:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
18:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
18:57
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a good point, Mike.
18:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I like to thank you.
19:01
[SPEAKER_02]: You only like that shit if you're from Pittsburgh.
19:04
[SPEAKER_03]: So he's a West Virginia guy, but rolling rock.
19:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
19:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know.
19:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I just didn't know what you guys thought.
19:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe either he's faithful to the home brand and he does and he does the upland stuff or he's doing the steel city stuff Those those those those those are the only two options.
19:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see him be in a course.
19:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah If he started drinking beer when he was 17 his age he probably likes PBR
19:33
[SPEAKER_01]: when he was growing up they were five cents a can and and him and dad and brother and buddies probably gotten that gotten that bent seat car and dad drink about their four of them driving down the road you know went back when we were a proper country that's right with my congrats you never know where the conversation is going to go so you should check into the eye your report every week
20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: every Wednesday morning.
20:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I should say Wednesday morning.
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Every Wednesday sometime.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, we will have previews for every game the day before the game.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And we will have reactions that night or the day after for football and men's basketball with Grant and Mike.
20:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And with women's basketball with Michelle Garmin.
20:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Mike and Grant.
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And I enjoy that so much
20:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though he was my boss very rarely did I not have a good time when I was with my console at the news and tribune for three or four years there.
20:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for listening, always appreciate it.
20:46

21:11
