Transcript
- 0:08[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn, every Wednesday on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:16[SPEAKER_01]: The final week before our third season begins in August, a little bit mixed up.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_01]: Jake will be back next Wednesday with another Purdue Report.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, Boiler, Maker Fans, the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's Purdue Report with Jake Dunn,
- 0:38[SPEAKER_01]: The boilermaker basketball team.
- 0:41[SPEAKER_01]: and Canada for the last week or so I haven't gotten to see a whole lot of it.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen some highlights that are running now in the background of this video if you're watching on YouTube.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_01]: But I do have some thoughts of what I have seen and mostly that it's hard to tell the starters from the reserves.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like 10 different guys could be a starter.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of talent.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say maybe top-end guys, at least yet.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_01]: But man, Antoine West really stood out to me.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_01]: Your thoughts on what you've seen, Jake?
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: Purdue had a pretty good week, I would say.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: They went for no, but I think the record isn't the story.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of the way that they how they won those four games.
- 1:29[SPEAKER_00]: It looks completely different than Purdue teams that we were kind of used to and of watched over the past several seasons.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_00]: maybe one of the biggest kind of stylistic changes we've seen under Matt Painters regime produced no longer built around, like overwhelming size, like produce had historically in the past.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_00]: This team seems to be built around like guard depth, speed, defensive pressure, forcing turnovers, transition offense, and shooting behind the arc.
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: And Purdue kind of seems more like a full
- 2:09[SPEAKER_00]: But the defensive aggression and defensive pressure, I think, might be some of the biggest changes.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: This level of competition certainly was not great.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: Greg, I say you a text and during the first game, I was like, there might be some ice-cold teams in Indiana that are a little bit better than this team.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: Although they could have sat back and just kind of coasted through this trip.
- 2:32[SPEAKER_01]: I will say, Jake, about the competition
- 2:35[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like the teams that I saw had some skill.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_01]: They were pretty good basketball players, but Purdue was just so much bigger and faster and stronger than they were.
- 2:45[SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, they're going to be bigger and stronger and faster than a lot of teams in college basketball.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_01]: This is a nice roster.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_00]: pretty really put on the pressure here for for these kind of inferior opponents.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: Purdue was really good in ball pressure, got some deflections, it's particularly Antoine West, Jakara Harris, they got a lot of steals, forcing turnovers and bad passes.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_00]: And again, they're switching with was also on point for most part as well.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: And because they like to play fast and and force turnovers, you know, those go hand in hand to generate a lot of offense and transition.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: That's
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: turning a ball over, you know, we've talked about rebounding being kind of a big issue, a big hole for this team.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, if you can force turnovers, that's one less rebound that you have to get.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's a nice adjustment that kind of flow and Matt Painter and staff have brought, and they have a little bit better personnel to do it this time around compared to last year or years past.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_00]: So I think you
- 3:47[SPEAKER_00]: What we saw here during this trip, Purdue really pushed the ball off of those rebounds, off of seals, and off of made baskets, and even in the half court, I think these possessions have started a lot earlier once to play with a faster tempo, so they may not be leading the nation in tempo, but I think from what we've seen historically, you know, proved taking their time
- 4:15[SPEAKER_00]: You've guessed some guys here, Antoine Wests had a really good showing from behind the arc.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_00]: So did Jacob Weber, you see guy who in this last game went off from three.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a little bit more athleticism and skill to be able to drive, I think on this team and when he drives, he's going to open up opportunities to kick it out on the way or kick it out to the corner for open threes.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_00]: And I think
- 4:41[SPEAKER_00]: If this camera trip tells me something, we're going to see a lot of three point attempts for this season.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_01]: No, get them.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: So, Jake, way too many.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_01]: They've got to fix that.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_01]: That I'm sorry, I get that you're going to shoot a lot of three pointers.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_01]: They are just, again, they had size speed and strength advantages and just were chucking three pointers.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: The man they could really hit them.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_01]: They were really hitting them.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_01]: But, come on, let's do some stuff besides just shoot three pointers.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Jakari Harris, you know, obviously, Antoine West was a nice surprise for some we've been able to really see him play for a year.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: Jacob Weber was a nice surprise as well, but I think Jakari Harris really stood out here and through four games he could argue he may be.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_00]: produce best player in that stretch.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_00]: He was aggressive off the dribble, creation, creating his own shot.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: Occasionally, he's developed quite a jumper, pushed the pace and all in transition on offense.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked in the past, but he'll have been a really good defensive player.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: And I think his passing and playing making has also improved as well.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: So although the competition was,
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: little lackluster in the gaming.
- 5:52[SPEAKER_00]: It's currently Western.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: That was probably a little closer than what Purdue really wanted.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_00]: And when Matt Paneer needed somebody to kind of close out this game, he turned it to Corey Harris.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_00]: And he came in and hit back to back threes.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that's pretty pretty pretty meaningful until I.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_00]: So him and Antoine West.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think Purdue fans should be pretty excited about.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: Antoine West did not look like a freshman.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: He looked ready.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: He looked.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: like he can score consistently, especially creating after-tribal, is not afraid to push in transition.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: And we mentioned he has got a lot of steals as well.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not afraid to put pressure on defense on the ball.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm real excited about him.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think people compare him to a young J-9v.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_00]: Don't want to make that comparison myself, but the scoring ability sure reminded me of a guy like that, or a guy like Carson Edwards.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_00]: Once he said this is him for a few years, I think he very well could be a guy and a guy that could lead the team in scoring.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, smart kid, very capable of running things.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about Daniel Jacobson, who had a clear advantage, size wise.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_01]: So that's not what I'm going to talk about, not what the numbers he put up and all that.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_01]: man, he really has a nice touch around the basket.
- 7:10[SPEAKER_01]: If he can get more on balance, like Zack Edy was always on balance.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_01]: If he can do that and kind of force his will on defenders, with that kind of touch around the rim, he's going to score so many points.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: That mixed side for him.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like he's playing with the different mentality.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously,
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: But I think really is added to he kind of looked like he was trying to dump everything trying to he was he was trying to establish that deep post position of play physical and that you know isn't something that we've done so seen for him you know in the past and he's still got a way to go yeah for sure but that that kind of mentality is exactly what Purdue needs from him and I think between him and Raleigh Burgess they're going to be I think decent but I really hope that which is the quality standpoint.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_00]: uh... in zosharvan can can come in and get cleared by the into double way and and i think you would provide quite a bit of help rebounding a ball and also just physicality in general so hopefully that can get all cleared up here soon um... you can be cleared to play with with the boy makers man from what i saw i'm not sure there's room for another guy yeah good players not getting a lot of minutes
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, sir, we're one guy who, you know, as a central Indiana sports report, we're kind of obligated to talk about, and one who we do want to talk about is Luke Earl, he looked pretty good as well, and like somebody who can come in and help immediately is game was my knowledge topic.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_01]: He, again, I've resisted making the comparison, but I think he's better than Braden Smith was at this point right now.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he, he is that good.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: He made some smart decisions for sure.
- 8:56[SPEAKER_00]: It was a pretty good passer.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: Made effort to go and rebound the ball.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_00]: Made effort on defense.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_00]: So he did not look like a freshman at all.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's exactly what you want to see from him.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_00]: And I texted you this as well as I do not envy Matt Painter.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to have a hard time kind of with this room.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: It's guards here.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_01]: They got three now and all starting point.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: Guards on their team.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_00]: in the strip of Omar Meyer, he didn't really shine here in this trip, and I'm not necessarily concerned, but he looked overshadowed by Luke Earl by Antoine West, by Jakarta Harris.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: We came in expecting Omar Meyer to be the guy in this trip.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: He did not look like the guy.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_01]: It looked like there were times in those games he was the guy and you could see it.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not concerned at all.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not neither.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying that I think he'll be okay.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was trying to fake too much, trying to force some things.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: but I'm still confident in him and his ability.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_00]: But in this trip, these young cards did shine.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: I think he'll end up probably being the best player on this team and you're right.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: It'd probably get enough being jacari here.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: But it might just end up being the best player being on my mind.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_01]: I think he has that much potential for this season.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: Regardless of who the star guard is, I think this team is going to be fun to probably get a win some games that they shouldn't win.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: But I think it'll be a fun season and a season that there's not as high expectations and being able to play free, so to speak, and a guy who, you know, we haven't talked about yet, but I think.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: It really kind of fits Purdue perfectly, and what they needed was Caden Pierce.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_00]: He impacts winning, and kind of every aspect of the game, he proved to be an elite rebounder.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we got to take the level of play in the consideration here, but I showed a wheat remounting skills, very athletic, he had a really nice dunk.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_00]: His versatility on defense being able to switch on to guards and be able to hold his own, I think, is huge.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_00]: and something pretty wasn't had kind of a foreman in a while.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_00]: He can push the ball and transition as well, and then obviously he's physical on me.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_00]: He's six, eight, I think, and pretty well built looks like a tight end.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: He's a pretty best rebounder.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_00]: I would say that we've seen.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_00]: So I think once he gets more comfortable and acclimated with the system, I think pretty fans are going to like him.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm really interested to see the development of Raleigh Burgess because there are signs of a really good player there.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_00]: I think he got hurt his senior year in high school.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: And then played a little bit, his freshman year, red shirt and then now he is fully back here.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: So he hasn't played a lot of basketball here in the past couple of years.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_00]: I think once he gets kind of back up to speed, I'm excited about him and his kind of energy and leadership.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
- 11:50[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he does, and he can shoot as well.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_01]: And Jake, going to be a little wild before more Purdue basketball.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be September before we probably hear much from them again, but we'll continue to monitor them and talk about them when there is news.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to start to turn our attention now to Purdue Boyle and make her football team.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_01]: And what we expect to be a better year,
- 12:19[SPEAKER_01]: We're from Barrio to heading into his second season, a really big season for Purdue football on Big 10 Media Day Wednesday, Jake, what did you hear and what's your reaction to what you heard?
- 12:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_00]: I've mentioned this before on the show, but I'm an optimist, so I just have a hope that this season will be better, and I think it will be better.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: Then at the last season, but very autumn, he came out and said that they can't make excuses anymore.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_00]: It's all about results.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_00]: He once again owned the last season's record of 2010.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: He never blamed it on roster turnover
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: It could just send him, hey, you know, this wasn't acceptable.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's my responsibility, and now it's about figuring out he knows it's a results business, and that's a, he, uh, he admitted to.
- 13:13[SPEAKER_00]: I think stability may be the biggest.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_00]: kind of difference this year.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: Last year there were 83 newcomers.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_00]: They were the leader and nationally and roster turnover.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yet players arriving at first spring practice was already complete.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: The coaches were trying to install schemes while still we were learning their players.
- 13:32[SPEAKER_00]: So now this time around spring rosers, the state and tact, they have a full offseason, you know, spent developing these players and said they're replacing them.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_00]: And this summer
- 13:46[SPEAKER_00]: you're just trying to compile a roster like it was last year and it's a big difference for sure.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: He mentioned things about this roster, genuinely enjoying spending time with each other and making that effort to form a brotherhood from the relationships.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: And through that, he's in a while leadership in accountability, finally getting to establish his culture.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: And it's really seemed that the team chemistry, the way thrive, and especially cold out, you know, but that the locker room is strong.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_00]: And when thinking about a rebuild, that's something that is very important.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_00]: And not everybody can be an IU and have success right off the bat.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_00]: So when you kind of take the slow route, like Purdue does, this stuff is crucial for that.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_00]: So Ryan Brown, he mentioned, right around his aren't his complete confidence, uh, had been very odom, very odom, praised his consistency, decision-making, his efficiency and his playing smart football.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_00]: And he called out Josh Henson, uh, OC, he kind of echoed those same thoughts as well.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: and the staff really believes that the Brown has taken a significant step forward last year he joined right around springtime when he transferred back to Purdue from UNC.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_00]: So now he's had a full winter workout full spring practice and it's been a lot more time inside of the offense, whereas last spring he just arrived after spring ball was complete.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_00]: So he's actually learning the team and leading the team.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_00]: this time around.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with guys, you know, the improvements on both sides of the ball and the trenches, often to fly and deep into the line.
- 15:25[SPEAKER_00]: That was very encouraging and, you know, that was a place where Purdue really struggled last year, keeping people away from lying around and then also trying to generate pressure through it.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really hard time doing that.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: So that that's better.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_00]: You call it out the defense has a lot more depth, has a lot more experience.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: has more rotational pieces and legitimate depth, and then kind of wrapping up here the, just finally the overall toughness, I think, yet he hasn't proved.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: He talked a lot about last year, there were hand-folding one possession games that pretty, if the ball bounces the other way, pretty wins that, and we're kind of having a different conversation here.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_01]: Now, by ball bounces a different way, you mean, Purdue make a stupid mistake, right?
- 16:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, essentially, if Ryan Brown doesn't turn the ball over, I think, for real, yeah, but I think pretty wasn't mentally tough enough to finish those games.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: And this year, I think, you know, go have that mentality and it started to build it.
- 16:22[SPEAKER_00]: But that's something that we as fans will see until September count was when there's September, October, when these games really start.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_00]: So,
- 16:35[SPEAKER_00]: I got I'm optimistic about this team.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_00]: I think they'll be better than last year, but I'm trying to contain my optimism.
- 16:41[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I think Purdue can definitely win four or five games this year But we'll take I can contain your optimism for you right here the schedule is brutal man There are teams like Illinois and Minnesota and Washington that maybe you could beat but Maryland is a win I think if they're if there's good as we think they're gonna be right
- 17:03[SPEAKER_01]: Wake Forest is a win if there's good as we think they're going to be an Indiana State clearly is a win.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_01]: If there's good as we think they're going to be, but man, how many more are you going to win between UCLA, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington, Penn State Iowa, Wisconsin, India?
- 17:20[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_01]: It's the only thing that's keeping me from being optimistic is that brutal schedule.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_00]: The schedule as we talked about before, it is it's better the last year.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_00]: But is it's never going to be easy in the big 10 and that's that's the biggest challenge for Barrier women and for potentially her teams like Illinois and Minnesota are good, right?
- 17:40[SPEAKER_00]: So those are your peer programs that you kind of have to be in order to to be in the top kind of half of the big 10 and So that we haven't seen here for for a few years.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think Barrier them can get this turn around I hope that he will and confidence that he will but we won't see it till the game to play
- 17:59[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like to say that this team for what I'm here in from the talent level maybe as a 6 and 6 team, but with the schedule, I'm just not sure you can get there.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I'm saying.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I'd really appreciate him go 6 and 6 and make a bowl game.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_01]: That'd be a really nice milestone.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure, even if you're 5 and 7 and get invited to a bowl game, I think that's still a win compared to last season.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of my
- 18:26[SPEAKER_00]: It's not necessarily benchmark, but that's like, you know, if things go better than expected, that's kind of what I'm expecting.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_00]: If that makes sense, five and seven bulgain.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_00]: And the last thing here about proof of all practices will start here on August 6th.
- 18:39[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll start to have some more kind of content talk about here going forward.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_00]: So next week we can kind of preview the season and roster officially and start to look
- 18:57[SPEAKER_01]: Back on our regular time, wins day next week.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_01]: Talking about some Purdue football.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_01]: Jake, can you stick around for a couple more minutes for some bonus time?
- 19:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sounds good.
- 19:09[UNKNOWN]: You get more and more in bonus time.
- 19:13[UNKNOWN]: Most sports talk in bonus time.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_00]: Bonus time.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking today that we needed to talk a little bit of Purdue basketball history, even though yours doesn't go back that far, but you do probably remember a guy who, and Twan West reminds me a little bit of, and that it is.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_01]: Lewis Jackson, a guy who's just always in control of where the offense is, knows where everybody's supposed to be, and that was kind of his role, and also could put the ball in the basket, and that kind of reminds me of Antoine West, not necessarily style and body type, but that kind of command of the game.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, how much do you remember Lewis Jackson?
- 19:57[SPEAKER_00]: The biggest thing I remember, Lewis Jackson, was his oversight shorts.
- 20:01[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I think that was kind of the style of basketball shorts back in the day, so you as a notorious for always having shorts that would not as ankles that looked like, but you as a user heck of a player, like you mentioned, kind of always in control, it was kind of thought of as one of the best point guards up until you guys like Braden Smith came in, came into the program.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, if it's on us, you can live up to that comparison, I think pre would certainly you know, I agree would be okay with that.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_01]: It one of the winnings for sure, K-Men and never didn't win.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, that senior year with Robbie Hummel got to come back for his senior year, play with Lewis Jackson.
- 20:40[SPEAKER_01]: It was just those two carried in the team.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that was not a very good team that almost beat Kansas in the sweet 16.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_00]: You remember that game?
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: I hope Purdue can one day get their redemption on Kansas.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_01]: How about this year?
- 20:59[SPEAKER_01]: any years of good year to beat Kansas.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_01]: I always think it earlier about becoming a Purdue fan and Troy Lewis was the crux.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: He was a Madison County hero.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_01]: I went to some of his games in high school, Tim Bronimer used to take Craig and me.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_01]: to the wigwam or to marry and to watch Anderson marry and her rich linder, Muncie Central on a Saturday when Elwood didn't have a game, because it felt what had a game we were there.
- 21:34[SPEAKER_01]: It was even a little before that that I was a Purdue fan and then Troy Lewis getting there.
- 21:39[SPEAKER_01]: I just remember going to the YMCA at Anderson, he was playing there.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of that kind of star to us, you know.
- 21:47[SPEAKER_01]: For I Lewis is here, and it starts to spread around the YMCA, the Troy Lewis is in the dam.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody tip to go to Purdue?
- 22:01[SPEAKER_00]: There's a guy named Kyle Coleman who went, I don't know if he really is.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_00]: played a whole lot.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_00]: You might have just been like a walk on but that's the only only guy from from Tipped in that data that I know went to Purdue to like, you know, play something like that.
- 22:17[SPEAKER_01]: So, Tipped and said to my you guys, it's, yeah, I always think of Tipped in this oven a lot of Purdue fans.
- 22:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'd be curious to know like the official breakdown of my friend and I'm sure it changes as teams, you know, do well or not do well, but of my host group of friends really only like one or two other produce fans.
- 22:42[SPEAKER_00]: from tiptoon that I, that I, that I, can I know of.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_00]: So I think there's probably a fair amount that are kind of just, you know, they've kind of root for everybody or they're definitely are a good group of three fans in tiptoon, but for me, personally, most of my friends are their IU or Notre Dame fans.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, when I was growing up, it's school Craig Brunner and Mike Ritchew, you know, and I had to battle all the IU people all the time.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_01]: And a couple of girls like Purdue as well, but the three of us were the Purdue guys, and I got to be honest, I love the colors, that was part of the attraction, yeah, and the school song, I like the school song too, yeah, to go, it is, and the Farm Bureau insurance ad before the game, I always love that, yeah, and when I was growing up, the quarterbacks at Purdue were really good as well with Jim Everett, Mark Herman,
- 23:39[SPEAKER_01]: The teams weren't bad.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_01]: They weren't horrible.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_01]: And Rod Woodson was, you know, huge stars as well.
- 23:45[SPEAKER_01]: So, while Purdue would never won when I was a kid, they weren't always horrible.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_00]: For me, Produce Football, what kind of got me really hooked was, I was Curse Painter, cold selection, Curse Painter.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, cover him in high school.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:01[SPEAKER_00]: From Vincent's, right?
- 24:04[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yeah, I don't know.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not, I'm not sure.
- 24:06[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they beat Floyd Central in a regional one year.
- 24:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's, okay, whoever it was somewhere down there, I think it was Vincent.
- 24:14[SPEAKER_00]: Gotcha.
- 24:15[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, I remember a high school, that's for sure.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it was pretty solid of Peruvian good enough to be, to be drafted by the Colts now.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, you go back and probably wouldn't draft them, but yeah, I remember being sick, one night and watching their bowl game, the little Caesar's bowl and the Troy, I forget who they're playing, but they're playing somebody there and end up winning the game, I believe, that kind of got me hooked on proof of the bowl.
- 24:47[SPEAKER_01]: There was a bowl game, 1998.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it's 98.
- 24:56[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Taylor's first year, they beat Kansas State, who was ranked fourth in the country in the Alamo Bowl.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_01]: And that really, the win over Notre Dame earlier that year changed the momentum of the program, but then that win over the Kansas State team that had they not lost the previous game on a fluke play.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_01]: The week before in the Big 12 championship, would have been playing for the national championship
- 25:24[SPEAKER_01]: with Billy Dicken, his final year before Drew Brie's came in and took over and took it to new heights.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_01]: Billy Dicken was a good one.
- 25:33[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's probably forgotten among Purdue fans, but he started the great quarterback play at Purdue during the Jotiller era.
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and hopefully Ryan Brown or Spurio, maybe not Ryan Brown, but one of these
- 25:53[SPEAKER_01]: uh... can be the next uh... great quarterback and uh... the cradle in the cradle we need a new credeler it's been a while guess we do i think drew breads of the latest in what you consider the cradle right because we're talking about hall of famous i mean the hardest pain of his five and these a couple of guys to fight or talking about lindosan and drew breads and bob greasy and we're talking about the all-time greats
- 26:23[SPEAKER_01]: guys who won Super Bulls in the M.B.P., and a couple others who were Heismantrophy finalists as well, so I think they are also included.
- 26:33[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you have a great, great college career, you're included.
- 26:36[SPEAKER_01]: It's not just that you went on to be great, and by the way, Purdue quarterbacks of one more Super Bulls than any other quarter, any other college except for Alabama.
- 26:46[SPEAKER_01]: So, there you go.
- 26:48[SPEAKER_01]: And it was tied with Alabama until Jalen Hertz.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_01]: Bob Greasy 2, Lindosen 1, Drew Breeze 1, how about that?
- 27:08[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks Jake for bonus time.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not your ally if bonus time can go any direction.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yes it can, yes it can.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_01]: It also has music.
- 27:17[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you were able to hear that, but it has music to it.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, awesome.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_01]: and it's disco music, it's amazing.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_01]: With lyrics and stuff.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_01]: That's good.
- 27:28[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're going to imagine a word here at the Central Indiana Sport before.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_01]: All right, thanks so much, Jake.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_01]: And as always, boy, they're up.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're a surboarder up.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know the music's ending.
- 27:44[SPEAKER_01]: The Central Indiana Sport report is a proctivite G. Media, and I love CZ.
