0:00
[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to a special edition of the IU Report with Grant Shouse and my cuddle.
0:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Their reaction to Indiana's 177 win over Marquet at the United Center on Sunday.
0:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
0:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome Hoosier fans to a special edition of the IU Report with Grant Shouse and my
0:30
[SPEAKER_01]: their reaction to Indiana's 177 win over Marquette.
0:36
[SPEAKER_01]: At the United Center, my cuddle was there.
0:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Grant Shouse, of course, watched on TV.
0:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And about to get their reaction.
0:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I want to know first is, this mean that the Indiana Purdue rivalry is back on, Mike.
0:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's still got a little ways to go.
0:54
[SPEAKER_02]: But at least Indiana is going to,
0:57
[SPEAKER_02]: of an entertaining brand of basketball to bring to it.
1:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not gonna be, that's phase it.
1:03
[SPEAKER_02]: The last eight years we've talked about it at Nazium at this point has just been so freaking frustrating to watch and Archie had never be Purdue, famously.
1:13
[SPEAKER_02]: What's actually had success against Purdue, but any of them have not been back where it'll find the nut.
1:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Even, but no, it's fun to watch this.
1:26
[SPEAKER_02]: team, point blank, and it'll be fun to see how they progress.
1:30
[SPEAKER_02]: There were some things that you saw today, and we'll talk more during the season.
1:33
[SPEAKER_02]: That'll be concerns, I think, that can linger from now to March, but if you score in basketball, you can overcome a lot of things, and this team is going to be able to score in basketball.
1:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So just a really, really good day to be at Hoosier fans.
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: They've already scored almost 200 points on the season through two games.
1:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They're averaging nearly a hundred points per game.
2:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty impressive.
2:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it's only the first two games, but that's a quality win over what's probably going to end up being a quality opponent later on.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you've got to think about it with Mark Kett.
2:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to navigate with losing Cam Jones to the NBA.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: when they went to the NCAA tournament last year.
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're trying to navigate all that while Indian has got this fresh new roster that plays well together.
2:32
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see the chemistries there amongst everyone in the program.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have assistance being shunned behind closed doors probably.
2:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have a head coach.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: unbelievably large.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's promising sign for Indiana basketball to start.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the rivalry back with them and Purdue?
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they haven't even played each other yet.
3:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I had that win against Evansville earlier in the weekend.
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they kind of struggled with Oakland.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But that Purdue team, I think, would have done the same thing to mark
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Indiana is a good team, but I'm not entirely sold quite yet, I was pleased today.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I was pleased on Wednesday after the Alabama and M. Game, but it's still, I don't think real yet.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a lot of work to be done.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of, there's a lot of, uh,
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of things that need to be proven here at the start of the year and I think they will get proven if they can continue what they've done in these last two games and there's no question I think that they're going to be a team to look out for.
3:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
3:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still cautious optimism.
3:55
[SPEAKER_02]: to be a fan right now.
3:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But this game was the hurdle in the early season schedule.
4:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And now you can realistically look at the schedule and say, nine and oh, going into the level, it looks pretty promising.
4:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And that level game is looming pretty large because that's a legitimate top five, top 10 team going into that.
4:22
[SPEAKER_02]: But like I talked about a few minutes ago, that game was ragged.
4:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And there were three people making it.
4:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So everybody who paid today to go watch three officials completely try to take over, got what their monies were.
4:38
[SPEAKER_02]: But with the foul trouble in the interface, first half read Bailey was out with three fouls, less than four minutes in the game, taking Conway, the best point guard they have, he went to the bench with three fouls.
4:51
[SPEAKER_02]: that would have gutted teams from Indiana in the past to lose guys like that.
4:56
[SPEAKER_02]: But what you saw tonight was Tucker to freeze just absolutely took over the first half of that game.
5:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he got in voucher.
5:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he got his fourth file pretty early in the second half and then what happens?
5:08
[SPEAKER_02]: You think Markets going to go in a run.
5:10
[SPEAKER_02]: They got it out of ten once, but then Lamar Wokerson just
5:20
[SPEAKER_02]: the big the best mascara and basketball is shooting and scoring.
5:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody who says you want to be a great defensive team, be a great defensive team, but if you can't put 60 points on the board, it might not matter.
5:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And Ian I had 80 points with 10 minutes to go in the game.
5:38
[SPEAKER_02]: That's nuts.
5:40
[SPEAKER_02]: That that is nuts.
5:42
[SPEAKER_02]: That's efficiency at it's best and
5:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Not only do you have the two guys who you expect to score 18 to 22 points a game now, you see these other guys who are capable, they're not necessarily going to do it every night.
5:56
[SPEAKER_02]: You had Trent Sicily 13 points tonight, where did that come from?
6:00
[SPEAKER_02]: He'd look completely overmatched against, as against Baylor, but this is a team that's very athletic, very long, difficult to guard, but Sicily gets out on the break a few times.
6:16
[SPEAKER_02]: but he booked points up and Connor in right.
6:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I made fun of him in the last show, but he's already got a legendary moment and has been the anti-corrier, hitting that half-court shot right before the horn expired for the first half.
6:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Keeps going back to, it was just, it was a fun day to be in the arena.
6:35
[SPEAKER_02]: The mood was light, the market fans were cool.
6:38
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, well, you guys just pretty much beat our ass and they did.
6:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to ask you, Mike, what was the contingency of IU fans there today?
6:48
[SPEAKER_02]: It was, I'd say, 60, 40 Indiana over Marquette, as far as told by that, you know, there were some patches in the inzone balcony that were absolutely empty.
7:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I was not even close to being a sellout.
7:05
[SPEAKER_02]: But you got to remember one of the trademarks of the Mike Woods in era was these neutral court games where the fans would get excited to play a higher level opponent.
7:15
[SPEAKER_02]: They go to those games and they'd lose by 30.
7:20
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, the Indian fans are feeling a little burnout and still trying to win back their faith.
7:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you actually went a little ways towards that again today because the people that were there, I guaranteed, enjoyed every minute of being there.
7:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just a completely different experience than what we've been going through over the last few years.
7:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And props to both head coaches, Darren DeVries and Chocca Smart for.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: getting this game on the schedule in Chicago.
7:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Indiana has the largest alumni base in the country.
8:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You've heard Stig talk about that a lot.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They have one of the largest alumni bases in the country.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of those alumni are in Chicago.
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: The business people, they end up in Chicago.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of Indiana alumni in that area.
8:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Marquette is only an hour and a half drive,
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a good chance that that crowd was going to be there like that to be out for the team.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure there's a lot of market fans, probably in Chicago being that close to Milwaukee.
8:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, props to them for meeting on the neutral floor there in Chicago and Indiana we've seen on neutral floors here in the last few years, especially with Mike Woodson have been bad, like the NCAA tournament, they've been bad a couple times when they've been in it.
8:57
[SPEAKER_00]: when they play a game at game bridge against Harvard and there's 4,000 fans there in a 17,000 arena.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been bad and today that didn't seem to be the case.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the first time at Indiana team at scored.
9:14
[SPEAKER_00]: at least a hundred point since the Tom Cranera.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: There've been two coaches since then.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, for him to be on the call of this game today was a nice, a nice little treat.
9:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for both fan bases that got to sit at home and watch it.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He's one of the best in the industry.
9:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He's one of the best analysts in the industry, I think.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And he did it.
9:37
[SPEAKER_00]: phenomenal job today.
9:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Told great stories.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He actually spent some time there at the beginning talking about Indiana football and talking about Kurt's dignity.
9:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So that that that was pretty cool, you know, the Tom Creen invitational and Indiana just happened to dominate it today.
9:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll go tell Coach Creeney did a nice job on Twitter, but he still hasn't been blocked.
10:01
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can't chime in and tell him how great he was and I saw that graphic and I think I sent it to you about.
10:12
[SPEAKER_02]: the 100 point club, what's and did get to 100 a couple of times?
10:16
[SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
10:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that was completely accurate.
10:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Now if that's accurate, that's the first time anybody scored 100 points on Shaka Smart.
10:25
[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty bold.
10:26
[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty wild.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the field of six to eight post in that.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got to kind of take down the grain of solid I suppose.
10:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It could have been an
10:39
[SPEAKER_02]: But I will tell you, well, anything that makes Indiana look positive, we'll take it because it's been tough and tough to find and you talk about neutral core games and you mentioned Harvard in the Big Ten tournament and I'd forgotten about those like, yeah, Avery, my son and I were at the Oregon game last year where I think they pulled 57 on the board in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.
11:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I was thinking more along the lines of, you know, when they went to Atlanta and played Auburn and all those IU fans were in Atlanta made that trip and just it was a 36 point game with like 13 minutes to go.
11:18
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just never competitive and then I think about when trace and Xavier Johnson and that team went to Las Vegas and played Arizona, they got ran, they made a little bit of
11:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Basketball game and the NTA tournament you're absolutely right the two losses the woods ahead in that They look like they quit with about ten minutes to play and just so disheartening and Don't forget the the trip down to the Bahamas last year Well game what a debacle not just the little will you had the market game eight by eventually they played a Providence team that
11:57
[SPEAKER_02]: At that point in the season, I think five a good junior high team might have given run to because of the injuries and everything proven inside.
12:05
[SPEAKER_02]: What's in care to be as much about recruiting as you did neutral court games apparently and they were a pain point for the fan base so that's another thing What a weekend you get your first win and happy Valley and football and you actually go blow somebody out for once on a neutral court as opposed to being the team that gets laughed at walking off the court
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the next thing.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's two things I wanted to ask you in the first one is why does Tom Creen have you blocked on Twitter?
12:41
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of Twitter's great mysteries.
12:43
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, I've got a list, an impressive list of people who have blocked me through the years.
12:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Tom Creen, my starting five, I think, Tom Creen, Jason Whitlock, Elizabeth Warren.
13:00
[SPEAKER_02]: The editor, the editor, the editor, the senator for Massachusetts has me blogged.
13:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I need the stories to all of these blockings.
13:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to know some of them, myself.
13:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Scarlet Johansson, not quite sure about that one.
13:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Garlet Jelaine.
13:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I've never said anything bad about the lady, but my personal favorite and one that my son is going to laugh at when I say it here in the hotel with me, Denny's.
13:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm blocked by Denny's.
13:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's worth it.
13:35
[SPEAKER_02]: At least you're not blocked by waffles.
13:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a waffle house enthusiast because of how much I hate Denny's.
13:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Moons over my hammy my ass.
13:53
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no Denny's in Bloomington now, so.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's good.
13:58
[SPEAKER_02]: That's one nice little breakfast diner there.
14:01
[SPEAKER_02]: There's one in Scott'sburg, and let me tell you, like I've said about the Waffle House in Scott'sburg.
14:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure it's seen some things.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That didn't real, dude.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: The second thing Mike, I wanted to ask you, I know that we're reacting to this Mark Hat game of what you thought on yesterday.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And happy about it.
14:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I was at the airport.
14:32
[SPEAKER_02]: and I was not in a good mood.
14:36
[SPEAKER_02]: They did what Indiana's done in the past in games, and they just let a team hang around just enough, and they made just enough mistakes where it looked like, oh, this is the Indiana football we've remembered.
14:52
[SPEAKER_02]: They're playing a team, they should be beating.
14:53
[SPEAKER_02]: They let them stick around, now it's gonna end up burning them.
14:59
[SPEAKER_02]: and you talk about a legacy moment for Fernando and I still don't know how that catch was physically possible.
15:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Unreal.
15:11
[SPEAKER_02]: When I watched it, as soon as I watched it and he called it, I was like, that's never going to stand up on replay.
15:16
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no physical way.
15:18
[SPEAKER_02]: He, when the guy pushed him out of bounds, the guy did exactly what he should have done.
15:23
[SPEAKER_02]: He pushed him out and how he
15:27
[SPEAKER_02]: with, and I thought the dumbest rule in football was gonna come into play because I thought the heel was gonna come down out of bounds, but he actually got the heel in.
15:37
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a moment that Indiana fans, especially if this team accomplishes anything close to what they think they're capable of doing, we'll talk about for, that's a remember where you are moment as a fan.
15:52
[SPEAKER_02]: and I was sitting outside gate b 17 watching on my little iPhone here with Avery and a guy across the aisle from me and I think he was slightly ahead of me because he asked me what down are you on and I said third he said you're about to be happy and wow just
16:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And I did not think that was gonna stay in the replay and by God, if it absolutely did.
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't believe it either.
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I was incredibly disciplined when it looked like they were gonna lose the game.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But I weirdly had a feeling when they got the ball back.
16:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they had no time-outs, but when they got the ball back, I thought to myself, you know what, maybe there's a chance here.
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they gotta go the length of the field,
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen Indiana football put together a couple drives where, like at the end of halves, where they've been able to go down and get in field goal range, a field goal wasn't gonna cut it.
16:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But they've gotten yards down field to get into field goal range to set them up with not a whole lot of time.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: They put drives together at the end of halves to go down and score a touchdown.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it in that game.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it in the Maryland game.
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it in the,
17:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember what game it was.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They did it in the morning.
17:17
[SPEAKER_02]: They did it in the morning.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they've done it multiple times.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought to myself, if they can get down here and get into solid range here, Fernando's got the arm, and we have the receivers to get a ball in the end, though, comfortably from 35, from 30, 35 yards away.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And they got him just right down where they want him, where when Becker made the catch, he he mosses the dude from Penn State and makes the grab, I thought to myself, yeah, there's no way they're losing this game.
17:50
[SPEAKER_00]: All the momentum immediately swung to Indiana.
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's to remember where you were moment and Omar Cooper, his co-dact moment.
18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That that was just unbelievably impressive.
18:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And talk about Charlie Becker, man, making that grab, that catch was almost as good.
18:15
[SPEAKER_00]: If they score on a little dumb town over the middle where there's no question it's attached down, then that that's the play of the game.
18:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlie Becker's catch, the underrated play of the game that is going to go un-
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of forgotten about was the throw down field to rightly know a calmsky to set them up into plus territory.
18:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the play that people are always going to forget about.
18:37
[SPEAKER_00]: But that play set them up for success to get them inside.
18:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was the 30 or down about the 25.
18:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they hit backer for the catch and a couple plays later.
18:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We know what happens.
18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Mark Cooper makes the catch.
18:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But think about it.
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Penn State had two opportunities there to force the turnover.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The the past right before the touchdown was so close to being intercepted guys.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember like holding my breath like Because I thought that because I got that in the air hung there and I was like, that's getting picked and it just dropped.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And thank God it did.
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what championship teams do.
19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: All the people are going to talk crap about how Indiana.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, Penn State should have won.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no kidding, Penn State should have won.
19:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I have 100% agree with you there.
19:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But Penn State had what 82 yards, not 82, like 80, 75 yards.
19:38
[SPEAKER_00]: to stop Indiana.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: They had all that time to stop Indiana and get them off the field and force to turn over and try and get the ball back or turn over on downs and all that.
19:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just an improbable win and Penn State, even though they're not the team they were at the beginning of the year.
19:58
[SPEAKER_00]: they, they still have the athletes that they had.
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we're going to discredit Indiana's whenever Penn State, then we need to discredit Alabama's win over South Carolina, we need to do is a great win guys.
20:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, it was a great win.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: This league is so deep at Penn State, still is a good team and they're the best 3 and 16 in the country.
20:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It was fun.
20:25
[SPEAKER_02]: It was
20:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Good to get a game against a quality opponent, a big East opponent, a team that's regularly in March madness.
20:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And just kind of an enjoyable time with a fan base that you don't really see a whole lot of.
20:42
[SPEAKER_02]: It was very civil.
20:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Both teams were there to have fun, no no trash talk, no pushing people down the escalator when the game was over, it was
20:55
[SPEAKER_02]: just market admitting, yeah, you absolutely killed us.
21:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Good luck the rest of the year.
21:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope like Hill Market has a great season now because when he comes to March, if you have a 23 point win and they're the second best team in the big East, third best team in the big East, that's gonna look awfully diagonal and good on your resume.
21:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So, good luck to market the rest of the year.
21:17
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a lot of fun, good meeting some of you
21:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's build off this as an Indiana team and get ready for that Louisville game because there's not a team in the country, I would love to beat more than the Louisville F. and Cardinals and the Kentucky Wow cats I'll take Louisville and you don't understand you don't understand until you live with them well Kentucky I've lived with all of them and Kentucky's the worst to me
21:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing is Indiana will have another crack at another power for power five opportunity with Kansas State in a few weeks at assembly hall.
21:58
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be another test right before the Louisville game.
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Indiana, I think will win that game, especially if they keep playing the way they have.
22:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But that would be another decent add to your resume if you can pull that one off.
22:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Teams to beat Indiana I think are going to have to score a ton of points.
22:19
[SPEAKER_00]: If Indiana is hitting shots every night, then they're going to have to, they're going to have to do everything they can to, to stay with them.
22:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So, Andy, one concern that I do have coming out of this game is, any of it has to get healthy.
22:34
[SPEAKER_02]: They've got to get bodies out on the court, man.
22:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there was a stretch there at the end of the first half.
22:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Tucker had not come off the court and he was, he probably couldn't see it watching it, but he was absolutely on fumes.
22:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And a few people in our section were like, man, I guys gas.
22:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, of course, he stepped up and just drained a three right after we said it.
22:56
[SPEAKER_02]: he obviously found some a little bit left in the tank, but you had on the second game of the year in November, Lamar Walker since putting up 38 minutes.
23:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not sustainable.
23:07
[SPEAKER_02]: They need their back court debt to come in.
23:09
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to ignore and they need Jason Drake.
23:11
[SPEAKER_02]: They need these guys.
23:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And they don't have anybody.
23:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Read Bailey.
23:17
[SPEAKER_02]: God love the guy.
23:18
[SPEAKER_02]: The fourth is Eller brother.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's not an interior guy.
23:25
[SPEAKER_02]: They've got to have, and he got in foul trouble so quick because he just cannot handle any sort of physicality in the post.
23:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So other than Sam Alexis, there's done a lot behind him.
23:37
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to hear, and Harris doesn't look close.
23:39
[SPEAKER_02]: He's on crutches, he's in a boot.
23:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know, it's probably too late to fix that issue, but you've got to get bodies bagged, because if you're running up huge mileage numbers,
23:52
[SPEAKER_02]: before January, before you get into the the depths of the big 10, then you're really going to start running the odometer on some of these guys.
23:59
[SPEAKER_02]: This can team can wear a can see the team wear down over the course of the year.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I would agree with you there.
24:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you had to nail on the head pretty much got to get healthy and if Indiana can get healthy and stay healthy, then I think there's going to be a tough team to beat in the big 10.
24:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Mike, you probably didn't hear this because you're at the game, of course.
24:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know if Greg heard it, but I thought this was a nice nugget from Tom Creme that started the broadcast that when Tom Creme worked at Pitt, and was an assistant coach at Pitt for basketball, Kurt Signetti also worked there at Pitt, and was an assistant football coach at the time.
24:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said they got to work together on a couple projects and new each other there.
24:50
[SPEAKER_00]: a little bit there at at the University of Pittsburgh.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So and he could see how dialed in that dude is and you could tell from just back then on how great of a coach he was going to be.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought that was a nice nugget for people listening if they missed that, but that is I think one of the those are kind of things I like to hear.
25:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the cooler things.
25:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought it'd point that out.
25:13
[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool.
25:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'll reach out to Tom and we can meet up at Denys and talk about it a little bit further since I
25:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Good, he's been shopping at the Bloomington Walmart after.
25:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he hit the Walmart with Elizabeth Warren and Tom Green.
25:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, talk about Elizabeth Warren's policies, which I'm sure you love.
25:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely, and who doesn't love Elizabeth Warren's, is he?
25:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much to Mike and Grant for joining us.
25:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Always appreciate it.

26:12

26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: People say, oh, hit the like, blah, blah, blah, blah.

26:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds stupid, but it does.
26:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I ever once had a like button on YouTube because I didn't think it does anything, but stroke people's eco.
26:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But it really does spread the podcast for once.
26:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need my ego strenght, but I do want people with a pocket.
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's kind of something.
26:49
[SPEAKER_02]: She can still really come back to Roost on that one.
26:52
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
26:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I should have hit the pick button.
