• 0:02
  Hey, what's up, everybody? Welcome to another
• 0:04
  episode of Fanatically Speaking. I'm Kent, the
• 0:06
  co -host and promoter. I am Log Off, the Log
• 0:09
  Off legend, the hater of all things social media.
• 0:11
  I'm the co -host and producer of the show. And
• 0:15
  today we're doing a nice quick episode for the
• 0:20
  college football national championship. We got
• 0:24
  the Indiana Hoosiers against the Miami Hurricanes.
• 0:28
  Oh, we already made it through March Madness?
• 0:32
  Yeah. Is that what it is? This is a this is a
• 0:36
  basketball ass matchup, isn't it? Well, it's
• 0:39
  at least one of them. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Indiana
• 0:44
  hasn't had a good football team in forever, but
• 0:47
  the last two seasons, they've been on the rise
• 0:49
  and now they're absolutely dominating mainly
• 0:53
  because of, you know, their head coach, Kurt
• 0:55
  Signetti and the transfer portal. transfer portal
• 1:00
  for sure. I think they get down on their knees
• 1:03
  and pray to it every night. It's been very beneficial
• 1:07
  for them. And like you said, maybe the best shoes
• 1:09
  by anybody years. Yeah. Any, any team. I think
• 1:13
  they then the short existence of the transfer
• 1:17
  portal, Indiana has mastered it. Yes. Yeah. They
• 1:22
  figured it out. They get the, they got the right
• 1:25
  pieces at the right school playing against the
• 1:28
  right teams. You know what I mean? Every season.
• 1:31
  And, um, you know, they've been able to create
• 1:33
  a, a large advantage. You talk about, you know,
• 1:38
  them blowing teams out. They also blew out a
• 1:40
  lot of bad teams that kind of pump those statistics
• 1:42
  up. Yeah. When you embarrass somebody like Alabama
• 1:46
  is gonna, you know, it's going to boost your
• 1:48
  resume, how people think about you. But, um,
• 1:51
  I don't know if their numbers are a little inflated
• 1:53
  because I've seen it like they beat a team like
• 1:55
  71 to nothing earlier this year like something
• 1:58
  ridiculous That's all that so that's always doing
• 2:00
  college football Yeah, yeah, so but but for them
• 2:04
  because their wind margins are so large I feel
• 2:07
  like something like that makes it a little you
• 2:09
  know bigger how whatever but I got So I guess
• 2:13
  my question for you is When you look at when
• 2:18
  you look at the Hoosiers Is it just about whether
• 2:24
  or not Mendoza can dominate the game? No, I mean,
• 2:30
  I think their entire team can dominate the game.
• 2:34
  And I think they've proven that. Even against
• 2:37
  Miami's defense? I think even against Miami's
• 2:40
  defense. I think. Wow. And again, a conversation
• 2:43
  I had again with one of our top listeners, Josh.
• 2:47
  We actually discussed this the other day. you
• 2:50
  know, office talk. And I think ultimately Miami,
• 2:56
  you saw a little bit of that against Ole Miss
• 2:58
  where they were headhunting and they got these
• 3:02
  penalties and they got these things. I think
• 3:05
  that's going to cost them. I think Indiana is
• 3:09
  more, one, I think if nobody knows yet, Signetti,
• 3:14
  like he tells recruits, like he tells people,
• 3:16
  Google me, go look at my record, all I do is
• 3:19
  win. And that's the truth. And I think he's got
• 3:23
  his team, I think he's coached them very well,
• 3:26
  is gonna have them well prepared for anything
• 3:29
  and everything where they are just going to be
• 3:33
  all over Miami. Now, I'm not saying it's gonna
• 3:37
  be a blowout. I'm just saying they're gonna be
• 3:40
  more well prepared. I think Mendoza, he just
• 3:45
  does everything right, says everything right.
• 3:48
  performs under pressure doesn't seem like he's
• 3:51
  under pressure and I think at the end of the
• 3:54
  day I think yeah I think Indiana's I'm picking
• 3:56
  Indiana if we're just gonna skip to it and we
• 3:58
  can get to everything else but I think that would
• 4:01
  be the difference some of that will be the difference
• 4:03
  in the game obviously turnovers are always big
• 4:06
  Miami is playing great you know like you pointed
• 4:10
  out and I don't want to take any of your takes
• 4:12
  here but the other 10 seed you know first double
• 4:16
  digit C to make it to the championship. There's
• 4:20
  a part of me that's going to root against Miami,
• 4:22
  which I normally root for Miami, but I'm going
• 4:26
  to root against them only because I do think
• 4:28
  Indiana is going to win. But, you know, that
• 4:30
  Notre Dame in me, I don't want to see Miami win.
• 4:35
  Oh, you a hater. I am a hater on that part. But
• 4:38
  looking at it without that, I do think Indiana,
• 4:42
  I think this is just. There was two teams I wanted
• 4:46
  to win going in. It was Ole Miss because of Lane
• 4:48
  Kiffin not being there. I just wanted them to
• 4:52
  win. Or Indiana because it's just a great story
• 4:56
  to turn a program around like that in two years
• 5:00
  that was not even a football school. And the
• 5:05
  U is. And they used the portal, obviously, to
• 5:09
  get back from Georgia to play another year of
• 5:12
  college football. And smart for them though,
• 5:16
  and smart for him. Yeah, I mean, it's worked
• 5:19
  out great for him in ways I'm sure he couldn't
• 5:22
  imagine. So you talk some of the match up, and
• 5:27
  while I respect everything that you're saying,
• 5:34
  I think the caliber of athlete that they're going
• 5:36
  up against with that Miami D -line. I think they're
• 5:43
  going to be in an amount of trouble that they
• 5:47
  aren't anticipating. If they can get pressure
• 5:50
  on Mendoza and just rattle him early and get
• 5:54
  him and, you know, have him second guessing out
• 5:56
  there, the the Carson Beck led offense that gets
• 6:02
  the ball from a turnover will be able to produce
• 6:05
  points, whether it's a field goal or, you know,
• 6:07
  a touchdown and response. So for me, I like the
• 6:13
  athlete for athlete matchup in Miami's favor.
• 6:17
  And I think that they've only played tough games,
• 6:23
  you know, all playoffs, like they've been playing
• 6:26
  good football for the last six weeks and we haven't
• 6:31
  seen Indiana rattled. And I think that if a team
• 6:36
  gets rattled first, it will be them on the biggest
• 6:40
  stage. And Miami's been doing it all season.
• 6:44
  So I'm taking the Miami Hurricanes to win. I
• 6:49
  think it's an ugly win. Like it's been every
• 6:51
  single win for them this postseason, just, you
• 6:53
  know, five, four, six point win, but something
• 6:57
  that gets the dub and they get to host the trophy
• 7:02
  at the end of the night. Okay. The advantage
• 7:06
  I give Miami is that they're playing at home.
• 7:14
  That's gonna be huge. My goodness, how are you
• 7:17
  gonna let me, are you gonna let me forget that?
• 7:19
  It's in Miami. Yeah, so for them, that's a huge
• 7:23
  advantage. I don't think Indiana cares about
• 7:27
  that. You gotta thank Indiana. They overshadowed.
• 7:33
  you know, winning their conference over Ohio
• 7:37
  State, the defending champion school, Michigan,
• 7:41
  which, let's be honest, Michigan had other issues
• 7:44
  going on. But again, a non -football school overtaking
• 7:51
  Ohio State, Michigan, and now rolling into the
• 7:56
  national championship. I mean, I just think it's
• 8:01
  the story. They're undefeated. Whoever gets put
• 8:06
  in front of them lately, they just beat. So again,
• 8:12
  I mean, how can you go against that? I'm rolling
• 8:16
  with them. I know that Miami's gonna have their
• 8:19
  mascot out there, Michael Irvin, but. you know
• 8:24
  and and good for him I mean his Cowboys can't
• 8:27
  win anything so he you know he decided to jump
• 8:30
  on the Miami his college which hey he did go
• 8:32
  there so hey get out there he's literally on
• 8:36
  the field sometimes like two steps from the field
• 8:40
  He may you better leave Michael Irvin alone.
• 8:43
  You ain't never seen a human being had more fun
• 8:45
  on the sidelines. This is a mascot Stop hating
• 8:48
  mascot. Stop. Hey, yo, they've got Michael Irvin
• 8:51
  and a Alleged former porn star in a Bell of Danger
• 8:55
  as they're tough, too If that doesn't save Miami,
• 8:59
  I don't know what does oh I mean is there some
• 9:04
  you're missing cocaine and some ass. Well, I
• 9:06
  don't want to I don't want to mention that you
• 9:09
  know I mean, I mean, no, no, no, no. I don't
• 9:13
  mean Michael Irvin. I mean, the fact that cocaine's
• 9:15
  on that sideline. Yeah. If they could get like
• 9:18
  a halftime show, like bring back G reg Greg Olson
• 9:23
  to rap with that seven, seventh floor crew and
• 9:28
  G reg with his third leg. Let's get them out
• 9:30
  there. Halftime show. Oh, man. I would rather
• 9:38
  see that than the Dr. Pepper two kids who don't
• 9:42
  know how to throw a football, and they throw
• 9:44
  it underhanded just to get it through the hole
• 9:46
  to win a goddamn scholarship. Throwing it like
• 9:53
  a shot foot. No, they were. Oh, my god. That
• 9:56
  was horrible. I can't watch that anymore. Oh,
• 9:59
  that's hilarious, dude. A bunch of smart kids
• 10:01
  don't know how to throw a football. But I got
• 10:05
  to go. I got to go. I'm sorry. We can wrap it
• 10:07
  up. I was enjoying it. Let's go with that. But
• 10:11
  yeah, so you're taking Miami. I'm taking Indiana.
• 10:14
  I think we got all our takes out, right? Yeah.
• 10:19
  And I hate to kind of point this out. But I'll
• 10:23
  just go ahead and I'll say it to you. I know
• 10:25
  you'll get the reference. Those are some very
• 10:29
  similarly opposite ass picks. Oh yeah. Two different
• 10:34
  schools for sure. And two different. Yeah. Like
• 10:37
  Mendoza, Mendoza back is two different and the
• 10:41
  schools too different. Can't wait. It'll be fun.
