Indiana indiana Wins the National Championship & NFL Conference Championship Previews · Height Differential

• 0:16
  We back. It is the height differential.
• 0:18
  We are one night removed from the Indiana Hoosiers doing the
• 0:24
  absolute unthinkable and winning the national championship in
• 0:28
  football. We will talk about that plenty.
• 0:30
  We will break down the NFL divisional round, preview the
• 0:34
  AFC and NFC championships, talk a little college hoops and a
• 0:38
  little bit else. That's the six foot six NIL.
• 0:41
  I'm the four foot 10 NIL. Like I said, this is the height
• 0:43
  differential. You're the four foot 10 Who?
• 0:46
  Nick, what did I say? You said 4 foot 10, Neil.
• 0:49
  Oof, oh, do we need to start over?
• 0:51
  Do you want to be like me? My do always, always knew you
• 0:54
  wanted to be like me. That's cool.
• 0:56
  Do we need to start over? That's cool.
• 0:58
  Or do we just roll with it? We got roll with it, now we
• 1:00
  just. Roll with it.
• 1:02
  The four foot 10 Nick. The six foot 6, Neil.
• 1:04
  This is the height differential. How many bottles of champagne
• 1:09
  did you drink last night, Neil? We popped a couple, we had two.
• 1:13
  We had two in the fridge ready to roll.
• 1:17
  I mean, it, it got a little dicey there in the fourth
• 1:19
  quarter. I wasn't, I wasn't convinced I
• 1:21
  was going to be able to pop them.
• 1:22
  But you know, they, they found a way.
• 1:25
  The defense stepped up on that last drive when they needed to
• 1:28
  and, and got that dub. So we were popping bottles. 2721
• 1:35
  Miami with the ball pretty, I mean, had I would say the
• 1:39
  momentum in the second-half after control, controlling the
• 1:43
  whole game, that it did make you a little nervous on that last
• 1:46
  draft. I mean, yeah, they had what, 60
• 1:49
  something yards of offense in the first half and they finished
• 1:51
  the game with 342. So the second-half adjustments
• 1:55
  by Miami's offense. I mean, they were moving the
• 1:57
  ball up and down the field on a really, really good how you
• 2:00
  defense. So they figured it out and we
• 2:04
  were talking about it. It's like, you know, earlier in
• 2:06
  the fourth quarter, instead of taking the field goal, Sig
• 2:10
  rolled the dice, went forward on 4th and five couple 4th downs
• 2:13
  had that that yeah, had two on the drive, had the the call
• 2:17
  design QB draw with Mendoza, who made maybe the play of the year
• 2:22
  bouncing off tacklers and diving into the end zone.
• 2:24
  But you know, if you're going to go for it in that situation, you
• 2:28
  you got Miami on the ropes. They're out of time outs with a
• 2:31
  minute and whatever was left out of timeouts.
• 2:34
  It was about a minute 50. It was a minute 47 I believe.
• 2:36
  Minute 47, fourth and four, you have 4 yards and the national
• 2:40
  championship is yours. And they kicked the field goal
• 2:42
  in that situation and you and I both agreed we thought they
• 2:45
  should have gone for it. Especially the way that the way
• 2:47
  that Sig had called the game earlier and the way that the
• 2:50
  Miami was moving the ball. It's like I wasn't convinced and
• 2:53
  you weren't convinced either that three points to get that
• 2:56
  six point lead was going to get it done.
• 2:58
  So 4 yards to win the championship.
• 3:00
  They decided not to and luckily it it paid off but.
• 3:05
  In that case, I mean, after, especially after seeing him go
• 3:08
  for it twice earlier, I was surprised.
• 3:12
  I was honestly surprised that they did bring out the field
• 3:15
  goal unit. And look, like I said, Miami did
• 3:20
  kind of have the momentum in the second-half and their offense
• 3:22
  was moving the ball. And whether you're up three or
• 3:25
  you're up 6, the other team's offense can still go in the
• 3:30
  game. Yeah.
• 3:32
  And to me, being up 6 was not that big of an advantage of
• 3:37
  being over three to not take that shot on 4th down to try to
• 3:41
  just go ahead and win it right there.
• 3:44
  I agree. And it, it did surprise me a
• 3:48
  little bit because I, I think it kind of, it kind of was not the
• 3:53
  mold of what we're used to seeing with Signetti.
• 3:55
  And look, and I know his thought process is, look, now they got
• 4:00
  to get a touchdown, a field goal doesn't send this to overtime.
• 4:04
  And, and I get that, but if you give me 4 yards to win a ship
• 4:10
  and even if I don't get it, even if I don't get it, we're still
• 4:13
  up three, yes. And, and they've got to go 80
• 4:17
  yards, yes. And it's not a score, a
• 4:22
  touchdown or nothing. They could kick a field goal on
• 4:24
  4th down if even if they get in that area and then you still
• 4:28
  have a chance in overtime, correct?
• 4:31
  It worked out, it worked out. But if they go down to score and
• 4:36
  get that and kick an extra point to win it, I, I think you regret
• 4:40
  not going forward on 4th down for a long, long time.
• 4:44
  And the one earlier in the fourth, he was going to kick it
• 4:46
  and change his mind and decided to go on the on the Mendoza
• 4:49
  touchdown. He had the field goal team
• 4:50
  running out there. The play clock was running out.
• 4:52
  So he called time out and changed his mind.
• 4:55
  And I mean, it worked out on that one.
• 4:57
  So I mean, I'm putting the ball. I, I would rather put the ball
• 5:01
  in in the Heisman trophies winner to get me 4 yards and win
• 5:04
  that national title then risk Miami coming back, especially
• 5:07
  when Miami put up, like I said, almost 300 yards in the
• 5:09
  second-half. Your defense was tired.
• 5:11
  They were allowing yards and even on the last drive, Miami
• 5:14
  was they were moving it. They were moving it until Carson
• 5:17
  Beck, until Carson Beck turned into Carson Beck.
• 5:19
  Finally, at midnight and. He he to be fair, he didn't
• 5:23
  throw the ball downfield a ton yesterday and hasn't really been
• 5:27
  asked to do that a lot in the playoff.
• 5:29
  And maybe that's something that you're relying on the fact that,
• 5:33
  you know, he's not throwing the ball downfield a ton.
• 5:36
  And if he does, he doesn't have the arm straight to some other
• 5:38
  quarterbacks and it's going to hang up there and it's going to
• 5:40
  get picked off. And and that's what happened.
• 5:43
  But even on the play where Mendoza had the 4th and five,
• 5:48
  the clock management and the timeout management was still a
• 5:51
  little bit odd with with Sig and even at the end of the half
• 5:55
  where they kind of just. You thought they were, yeah,
• 5:57
  they were going to run the ball and just go to halftime because
• 5:59
  they had the ball start the second-half and they ran the
• 6:02
  ball, didn't call a timeout, then all of a sudden they're
• 6:04
  starting to throw it. It's like you're going.
• 6:06
  To do that then. You get into the 15, you have
• 6:08
  two timeouts and there's really nothing you can do with it.
• 6:11
  Yeah, I so it was, it was odd. It was very odd.
• 6:14
  So there were some moments, but the 4th and five by Mendoza and
• 6:19
  Sig talked about this after the game, how they kind of thought
• 6:23
  that that play, that draw would work against the defense that
• 6:26
  Miami ran on 3rd down. And they were just banking on
• 6:29
  the fact that they're going to run that same defense.
• 6:31
  And they? Did.
• 6:31
  And they did. And I'm telling we were watching
• 6:34
  it together. And I'm like, he, he stopped.
• 6:38
  He stopped. Yeah.
• 6:39
  What's your dudes right there? Yeah.
• 6:41
  He bounced off tackles and, and every championship game or most
• 6:46
  when it's a good game, there's a play that is just that iconic
• 6:48
  play that you're going to see over and over again.
• 6:51
  And it reminds you a little bit of John Elway in the Super Bowl
• 6:55
  with the flip to get to the end zone.
• 6:57
  At least that's what it reminds me a little bit of him just
• 7:01
  flipping and giving his all to get in the end zone.
• 7:04
  And I mean, it was a Heisman moment for the Heisman Trophy
• 7:07
  winner. Yeah, and he he won, you know,
• 7:10
  the game's MVPI mean his stats weren't eye popping.
• 7:13
  He didn't throw a touchdown 186 yards was 16 of 27.
• 7:17
  So he now has more incompletions than touchdowns finally in the
• 7:20
  playoff. But the guy that I thought
• 7:23
  really stood out and and and I thought won the game and was
• 7:26
  also deserving of that. I mean, it was the the plays
• 7:28
  that Charlie Becker was making that for the 4th down conversion
• 7:32
  that they had was to him on the back shoulder.
• 7:35
  And then he made another outstanding back shoulder catch
• 7:37
  on 1/3 and I think it was like third and 10 in the fourth
• 7:40
  quarter to keep the chains moving in the clock running for
• 7:42
  Miami started having to use their time out.
• 7:44
  So I mean, Charlie Becker in the second-half of the season has
• 7:47
  just been an absolute monster. He had, I think, what 6 catches
• 7:50
  through October and all of a sudden in November he's a
• 7:55
  monster. Well, Sir, I got hurt in the
• 7:57
  Penn State game and that's kind of where his coming out party
• 7:59
  was. But no, it a lot of it was
• 8:02
  Miami's defense. They were getting pressure the
• 8:06
  entire game and really taking Indiana out of what they wanted
• 8:10
  to do in the passing game. They really didn't have a lot of
• 8:12
  opportunity to throw down field and made those back shoulders
• 8:16
  were about the only thing that was working.
• 8:19
  And Becker was they made unbelievably catch, unbelievable
• 8:22
  catches the to continue some drives.
• 8:25
  And yeah, he deserves a ton of credit.
• 8:27
  I mean, without Mendoza, I mean without Becker, Mendoza's might
• 8:31
  not be the MVP because I don't know if they win the game.
• 8:34
  Correct. That is correct, yeah.
• 8:36
  But on Miami's defense, though? They played a great.
• 8:41
  Game the pressure that they got the entire game.
• 8:44
  Mendoza was under duress the entire game.
• 8:47
  We we both said last week that we thought if Indiana played the
• 8:52
  way that they've been playing, they're going to win by 2030
• 8:55
  points. Maybe we underestimated the
• 8:58
  Miami defence a little bit because they did things that we
• 9:02
  hadn't seen since that first drive against Alabama where
• 9:05
  Mendoza got sacked 2 out of the first 3 plays and.
• 9:08
  Painted with three, three sacks total, I think on the game, but.
• 9:12
  Even that, even with just that, he he was under pressure the
• 9:15
  entire game. He was and and the IU plan of
• 9:18
  attack, I mean it was it was a run heavy attack.
• 9:20
  They ran the ball 45 times compared to only 27 passing
• 9:24
  attempts and you know, 45 carries for 131 yards, only two
• 9:28
  point 9A carry. So and when it wasn't much, they
• 9:31
  did give up a couple big chunk plays, a couple maybe a 20 yard.
• 9:35
  They had a 20 yard run from black and a 15 yarder from him
• 9:37
  be but the the IU plan of attack was was run it, run it, run it.
• 9:42
  So Mendoza, you know, with especially with the pass rush
• 9:45
  and I mean that Miami did a great job.
• 9:48
  I think I'm on on on stopping the run in in the past.
• 9:51
  Yeah. But I will say to their credit,
• 9:53
  they ran the ball even more in the second-half and they just
• 9:57
  stuck with it. And there were a lot of times
• 9:59
  where they lost a couple yards on 1st down where it was first
• 10:02
  be second and 12. And they'd still run it on 2nd
• 10:06
  down and be able to get 5-6 yards to get back on schedule
• 10:09
  where they have a chance on 3rd down.
• 10:11
  And, and I think that was a big part of the game.
• 10:14
  Yeah. But I, I mean, Miami's defense,
• 10:18
  I think just deserves a ton of credit.
• 10:20
  And you knew you knew Fletcher was going to make a play
• 10:23
  eventually. You knew Malachi Tony was going
• 10:25
  to make make a play eventually. And they both did in the
• 10:28
  second-half to give them a chance.
• 10:32
  And I mean, I ain't alive for a second.
• 10:35
  I thought, I thought Miami's going to figure out a way to
• 10:37
  pull this thing out. And then you're right, Beck just
• 10:39
  had to throw the ball down field and it hung up there a little
• 10:42
  bit. And it fell into the hands of of
• 10:46
  Jamari Sharp. Yeah, and I mean every time that
• 10:51
  you know, Miami like after the Fletcher play and like they they
• 10:55
  would draw close, you know, I you had an answer.
• 10:58
  So like Miami that Fletcher made it 10-7 and then IU has to have
• 11:04
  a big play. What do they do?
• 11:05
  They block the punt for a touchdown.
• 11:06
  Which, yeah, we haven't even touched.
• 11:08
  On that yet I mean that was that that put them right back up by
• 11:10
  10. And then Miami starts the fourth
• 11:12
  quarter with a touchdown. It's back to a three-point game
• 11:15
  and that very next Dr. Mendoza goes down.
• 11:17
  I mean, that was the the the the play we were talking about.
• 11:20
  They go 12 plays and 75 yards and once again, they're right
• 11:23
  back up by 10. So every time that Miami cut it
• 11:26
  to that 3 point, you know, score, that one score game,
• 11:30
  Indiana needed a big play or a big drive and their their
• 11:32
  players stepped up to the occasion and they made those
• 11:35
  plays that they needed to make. And and with the punt, I mean,
• 11:39
  that's their 8th blocked kick in two years.
• 11:44
  Yeah. And which is just a phenomenal
• 11:48
  stat. Yes.
• 11:50
  And the possession before Malachi, Tony tries to catch the
• 11:54
  ball at the four trying to make something happen.
• 11:57
  They get they get caught what? He was tackled at the five and
• 12:01
  they they go 3 and out, they punt on 4th, they put on 4th and
• 12:05
  one yeah. And then you get that block punt
• 12:09
  and it it just changes. I mean they you win by 6 and you
• 12:11
  get a block punt block puts big reason why you won the game.
• 12:16
  That is a huge play, no doubt. But just a couple, Like, they
• 12:23
  talked a lot about Mendoza growing up, you know, just a
• 12:26
  mile from Miami's campus. His dad was a teammate with
• 12:30
  Mario Cristobal. His mom played tennis at at
• 12:33
  Miami. And how him not not getting
• 12:36
  offered a scholarship in Miami and the whole story.
• 12:38
  I mean it, it is it's going to be a 30 for 30.
• 12:41
  But how about Jamari Sharp too, Also a Miami native, also not
• 12:47
  offered a scholarship at Miami, The nephew of Glenn Sharp.
• 12:51
  The nephew of Glenn Sharp. Who was passing her?
• 12:54
  The famous mass interference against Ohio State in 2002, Just
• 13:01
  a lot of connections there. Like it wasn't just Miami
• 13:04
  playing at home, it was a lot of Indiana kids going back and
• 13:07
  playing in their hometown. Yeah, no, a lot of good
• 13:10
  storylines in this game. You know, I'm just good for
• 13:14
  those kids. You know, they, they weren't
• 13:15
  given the chance at the hometown school that, you know, that they
• 13:18
  probably wanted to go to in Miami.
• 13:20
  They got passed over and, you know, they got there.
• 13:23
  They got their revenge last night.
• 13:27
  Yeah, so I just, I'm glad like we both predicted to be a 2030
• 13:32
  game point game. I'm glad it wasn't because it it
• 13:34
  was an entertaining game. It was a very good game.
• 13:37
  They so Indiana obviously their first championship in school
• 13:43
  history. They entered the season with the
• 13:46
  most losses in FBS history with 715 and now they're national
• 13:50
  champions. They had six wins versus AP
• 13:55
  ranked teams this year. The the previous record was 3
• 14:00
  under Signetti. Their record when scoring 20
• 14:02
  plus points is now 26 and O. Their record when allowing 27 or
• 14:07
  fewer is 26 and O. When they out rush opponents,
• 14:11
  they're 25 and O, They're two and two.
• 14:13
  The the games where they don't out out rush opponents.
• 14:16
  Well, you, you throw these snats out and Signet, he's only lost
• 14:19
  one what, 2 games? Two games.
• 14:21
  Since he's paid IU, so they're going to be a lot of, there's
• 14:24
  going to be a lot of something in OS going on here because he's
• 14:26
  only lost two games. Will we continue on that note?
• 14:32
  Indiana 3 ball wins this year from 1899 to 2024, three ball
• 14:40
  wins. Kurt Zignetti has a 931 winning
• 14:46
  percentage. As you said, he just has those
• 14:48
  those two losses. He has three ball wins and one
• 14:51
  national title. All others have a 414 winning
• 14:55
  percentage. And as we just mentioned, those
• 14:57
  three ball wins Prior Mendoza becomes the 5th quarterback in
• 15:05
  the BCSCFP era to win the Heisman and the National
• 15:11
  Championship in the same season. Do you know the other 4?
• 15:16
  Joe Burrow. In 2019.
• 15:19
  Wasn't it? Was a was it Eric Crouch?
• 15:22
  Maybe from Nebraska? No, that was I think that was
• 15:25
  before the the BCS era. Oh, but oh, BCS era.
• 15:28
  Sorry, sorry. All right, So Joe Burrow, I was
• 15:32
  going to be in Ohio. Did Troy Smith.
• 15:35
  Troy Smith, was he? Zeke didn't.
• 15:40
  In the state. No Ohio State.
• 15:42
  No Ohio State Alabama quarterback, right?
• 15:46
  Nope. Or not.
• 15:47
  I'm sorry, Oklahoma quarterback is what I meant.
• 15:49
  Oklahoma quarterback. No Tim Tebow.
• 15:51
  No. What, not even Tim Tebow?
• 15:55
  No. Hey.
• 15:57
  You got Mark. Ingram, Mark Ingram.
• 15:59
  No, there's no Alabama. You do have one SEC school, one
• 16:04
  ACC school and then they were a PAC 12 school at the time.
• 16:10
  On ACC school Clemson. Nobody from Clemson won a title
• 16:15
  or won the Heisman now. It's not Clemson, that's why.
• 16:20
  Oh, Jameis Winston. Jameis Yeah, in 2013.
• 16:25
  One SEC School. Yep.
• 16:32
  And you said no, Alabama? No, it's not Alabama.
• 16:40
  Are we counting what Texas in this or Oklahoma in this?
• 16:44
  No, it was an SEC school at the time.
• 16:47
  Dude, this is hard. This is hard.
• 16:49
  All right, 2010 Auburn. Oh, Cam.
• 16:55
  Cam, 2004 USC. Reggie, Matt Leiner.
• 17:02
  Oh, Leiner So it's the year after Reggie.
• 17:06
  But just so many stats. And what we learned yesterday,
• 17:12
  Indiana was the first, first time champion since Florida in
• 17:16
  1966. They said that on the broadcast.
• 17:20
  Really just an historic night. And do you think the party is
• 17:26
  still going at Kilroy's? At Nick's?
• 17:29
  100% did you see they were lined up the night before, camped out
• 17:34
  in single degree temperatures to get a spot in the bar at 11 AM
• 17:38
  when the bar opened? I mean just the amount of time
• 17:42
  that you spending at the bar. So you get in at 11, you're
• 17:46
  probably not leaving until they close.
• 17:48
  Is it 2 or whatever it is? I mean, no, I mean, the scenes
• 17:52
  were absolutely on Kirk Wilber were absolutely electric.
• 17:56
  Dudes climbing on poles and light poles and trees and just
• 18:00
  massive amount of people in the middle of the street.
• 18:02
  And if there's one thing that IU knows, the the students know
• 18:05
  what to do. They know how to party at IU.
• 18:07
  Yep, have a. Yeah, you've been there.
• 18:10
  Yeah, they do. You've dabbled in that scene
• 18:13
  before. Curt Cignetti.
• 18:16
  One thing that he earned last night was a lifetime supply of
• 18:22
  beer from the What's the Upland? Burger Lifetime beer.
• 18:29
  So does Kirk Signetti drink beer?
• 18:31
  You look more of a wine guy to me.
• 18:32
  Did you watch the post game? I was too busy drinking my own.
• 18:37
  The first thing he says, they ask him how he's gonna
• 18:39
  celebrate. I'm gonna give me a beer.
• 18:41
  And then the press conference, he said that beer tastes pretty
• 18:44
  Dang good. I, I wouldn't mind tasting
• 18:46
  another one. And I know what he means doing
• 18:49
  all this again. But who's your game day logger
• 18:52
  from Upland Brewery. He mentioned that by name in the
• 18:54
  in the post. Game I had.
• 18:56
  I had two of those last night. And he has landed lifetime
• 19:01
  supply. Good for him.
• 19:04
  That might be, I mean is that that's that's better than that
• 19:07
  might be a little bit better than any bonus in his contract,
• 19:09
  a lifetime supply. Lifetime supply and, he says,
• 19:13
  his favorite beer. Good for Kurt.
• 19:16
  Good, good night for Sig and I hope we don't own a T-shirt
• 19:22
  company. We we used to, we don't, I, I
• 19:25
  used to, we don't anymore. But I have you seen anybody
• 19:28
  print the Sig Natty T-shirt yet? Is it I've?
• 19:33
  I've not seen it. I've not seen it.
• 19:35
  It's a good idea though. How much gear did you buy last
• 19:39
  night? None yet.
• 19:40
  None yet. I haven't haven't had time to to
• 19:43
  get on and really look at it and got to get some gear, got to get
• 19:46
  some stuff for the basement. You know, maybe the Sports
• 19:49
  Illustrated cover that where Mendoza's diving over the end
• 19:52
  zone was pretty cool. That might look good on the wall
• 19:54
  down here. But we will.
• 19:55
  We will get to that this week. And before we move on.
• 20:02
  I'm going to give you one more stat.
• 20:04
  Best point differential in the season in the A poll era.
• 20:10
  The number one is the 2013 Florida State team.
• 20:13
  Their point differential is 553 points.
• 20:17
  Second, I would make you guess this, but it's 1944 and it's
• 20:23
  Randolph Field. Never heard of them. 489 points.
• 20:27
  Indiana ranks 3rd all the time with 479 point differential.
• 20:35
  I mean, they were what was the average over?
• 20:37
  It was over 20. I think 27 somewhere in the 20s
• 20:41
  we have to do. That divided by 16.
• 20:44
  Incredible. And look, that's why after
• 20:48
  saying, well, you kind of saying you were worried in the first
• 20:52
  two rounds when they're facing Alabama and Oregon, I think
• 20:54
  that's while we finally both had the gumption to be like, hey, if
• 20:58
  they do what they're going to do, they're going to blow,
• 21:00
  they're going to win this thing by 20-30.
• 21:01
  And I do think they didn't play an A game.
• 21:07
  I think they probably played ABB plus game.
• 21:10
  And I thought Miami's defense played exceptional.
• 21:15
  Their offense didn't have an A game.
• 21:16
  But I, we said Indiana didn't have to play their best game to
• 21:21
  win. And I, I kind of think that's
• 21:22
  what happened. No, I agree.
• 21:25
  I mean, the the Miami defence is a big part of that, but I yeah,
• 21:28
  it was not their best, but it wasn't their their worst.
• 21:32
  I mean, I think probably the Penn State game might have been
• 21:34
  their worst and they still end up winning that game.
• 21:36
  But no, I would agree with the the BB plus and that was good
• 21:40
  enough to win. And now they're running the
• 21:43
  portal, so just don't do it again.
• 21:46
  But this is also the fact that a program like Indiana, who
• 21:52
  historically is the worst powerful program in college
• 21:56
  football, the way that everything is designed now with
• 22:01
  the portal, with NIL, it allows something like this to happen
• 22:06
  it. Does.
• 22:07
  And look, there's a lot of negative things with everything
• 22:11
  that's going on, but the fact that a team like Indiana can
• 22:15
  come out of nowhere and hired a new coach and two years later
• 22:18
  make two runs in a tournament and then win the whole thing is
• 22:22
  a positive. Because I do think it team
• 22:24
  people get tired of seeing Alabama, Ohio State, Oh yeah,
• 22:29
  every single year in the national title game.
• 22:31
  And I think it was refreshing to see Indiana play Miami.
• 22:34
  And I know Miami's in historical program, but they just, they
• 22:36
  haven't been there in the last 20 or so years, right?
• 22:40
  No, I mean it, it starts with, with fan support and donor
• 22:43
  support. You know, you, you, you got to
• 22:46
  get the, the money flowing in to get to get the players and the
• 22:49
  coaches. And you know, they, it's been
• 22:52
  talked about a lot that Indiana has the largest living alumni
• 22:54
  base in the country. So when you got that kind of
• 22:57
  support and like those bigger numbers behind you, you know it,
• 23:01
  it's, it's possible to do something like this.
• 23:04
  And and now Mark Cuban has seen what SIG can do, and he's got
• 23:07
  the wallet open. He's writing checks.
• 23:09
  He's he's writing checks. I'm surprised you didn't pull
• 23:11
  out the fumble stat on IU. Did you hear about the fumble
• 23:13
  stat? Blow it out.
• 23:15
  There one. I provided like 20 something
• 23:18
  statue. Only one lost fumble on the
• 23:21
  entire season for IU. It happened in the first quarter
• 23:23
  of the first game. Well and never lost the fumble
• 23:26
  again. Longest streak in college
• 23:28
  football history. Which is what, 15 games now?
• 23:30
  I think the previous was 12 is what I read so.
• 23:35
  Just really. And they didn't turn the ball
• 23:37
  over in the postseason. No, they that's that's a big
• 23:40
  part of why why they're national champion.
• 23:42
  Does they take care of the football?
• 23:43
  Well, and we've talked about it over and over again, they're
• 23:46
  just so fundamentally sound. They are.
• 23:48
  And maybe a lot of that has to do with the fact that their
• 23:51
  roster average age is the age of some of the youngest teams in
• 23:54
  the NFL. Yeah.
• 23:58
  But they didn't make mistakes and neither did Miami until
• 24:01
  until the last drive. And they had a chance there.
• 24:04
  And just ironic that Sharp would get would get the pick 20 years
• 24:11
  after his his uncle got called for pass interference against
• 24:14
  Ohio State. I mean still one of the the I
• 24:17
  still don't think it was a pass interference.
• 24:20
  I know and I haven't looked at him forever, but I just remember
• 24:23
  seeing it when it happened. Correct.
• 24:25
  There was no way. I agree.
• 24:27
  It was on 4th down, wasn't it? It was more than the end of the
• 24:30
  game, Yeah, No, no pass interference.
• 24:32
  I agree with you on that. And when we transition to the
• 24:35
  NFL, we get to talk to a little bit more about pass
• 24:37
  interference. There were some controversial
• 24:41
  ones. There were what, just to put a
• 24:44
  bow on it, and we've mentioned this several times, just nothing
• 24:47
  like it in the history of sports.
• 24:50
  There's there's nothing that you can compare this to, no.
• 24:53
  It's it's the one. It's the greatest, one of the
• 24:55
  greatest sports stories of all time.
• 24:57
  Yeah. Anybody checked on Has anybody
• 24:59
  checked on Michael Irvin this morning?
• 25:03
  They didn't show him as much as I thought they would last.
• 25:05
  Time they were winning, so you're probably not going to
• 25:06
  show Michael Irvin when you're not winning.
• 25:08
  Well, even on like the the big. Welfare.
• 25:10
  We need a welfare. They I just thought they would
• 25:13
  show me more. Yeah, no.
• 25:16
  But he he definitely needs a welfare check.
• 25:18
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he had a nice little run,
• 25:22
  got a lot of pub out of it. He did I, I think he's doing OK.
• 25:25
  Yeah. So Indiana Hoosiers are your
• 25:31
  2026 national champions in football, and Indiana University
• 25:38
  has the last two teams to go undefeated in both college
• 25:41
  football and college hoops. Yep.
• 25:46
  In NFL divisional weekend, I will say I think it's the best,
• 25:53
  it's the best weekend of the of the NFL calendar.
• 25:57
  Yeah, I mean this one, it had its, this one had its ups and it
• 25:59
  had its downs. We had two great games and two
• 26:02
  games that were kind of not so great.
• 26:04
  I'm just. Saying in general though, year
• 26:06
  after year this is I look forward to the divisional round
• 26:08
  because you get 4 games, you get 2 games on Saturday, 2:00 on
• 26:11
  Sunday. I agree, no, But I'm a big fan
• 26:13
  of the divisional round and I mean, I just want to make sure.
• 26:15
  Are you OK? I mean, I know you're becoming a
• 26:18
  big 49ers fan here late in the season and they just absolutely
• 26:21
  got destroyed by the best team in the NFL, the Seattle
• 26:25
  Seahawks. So I also want to make sure that
• 26:26
  you're you're doing all right today.
• 26:27
  You all right? The Seahawks made the 49ers
• 26:31
  depleted roster look like AD two team and it's like AD One team
• 26:38
  and AD Two team. Yeah.
• 26:41
  I mean, we, we don't need to get into that game.
• 26:43
  Just an absolute butt whooping. I mean, I turned it off at
• 26:46
  halftime and did not turn it back on.
• 26:48
  And then I was like, I need to look and see to make sure the
• 26:51
  Seahawks won. And they won by what, 35?
• 26:55
  41 to 6. Yes, I, I was baking on that Sam
• 26:58
  Darnold, you know, lost as the number one seed last year with
• 27:02
  the Vikings. And then you're like, is he even
• 27:04
  going to play? Well, they sure didn't need him
• 27:07
  to play. Well, I mean, right off the
• 27:08
  jump, they returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
• 27:10
  I mean right off the jump it was a basically over.
• 27:14
  But not much to go into that. I who's going to go into Seattle
• 27:19
  and when it's got to be, it's got to be the Rams only option.
• 27:24
  But they just, they just looked, they just looked unstoppable.
• 27:27
  I mean, they, they had, we, we watched that game.
• 27:29
  Well, I don't know if you were there.
• 27:31
  We were watching it at brownies. The last time that the Rams
• 27:33
  played the Seahawks, you know, in November, maybe actually it's
• 27:38
  early December and they, they were up what, 16?
• 27:43
  They had that weird 2 point can. Was it a 2 point conversion or
• 27:46
  the yeah, yeah, like whatever that was.
• 27:51
  So it, it took the Seahawks kind of some fluky things to, to beat
• 27:53
  the Rams that day. So I wouldn't, I wouldn't put it
• 27:57
  past the Rams to be able to do it.
• 27:59
  But I've, I've, I've had Seattle at the top of my, my rankings
• 28:03
  almost every week that we've talked about it.
• 28:05
  So I I expect Seattle just to still win.
• 28:08
  Well, since we're talking Rams, like we can go ahead and talk
• 28:13
  about the Rams Bears the the finale on on Sunday night.
• 28:19
  Do you get that fourth down play on Caleb Williams?
• 28:23
  He's running for his life. He's running backwards.
• 28:26
  Running for his life and and like honestly, like we talked
• 28:32
  about how in college, like all these teams are, it's new it's
• 28:35
  it's nice to have it So I'm kind of I'm pulling for the bears a
• 28:38
  little bit to have a new team and I'm not pulling for anybody
• 28:41
  else, you know so and you're like, well, it's over and he
• 28:45
  just flings that thing I. Mean it was a Hail Mary.
• 28:47
  It it was a big the equivalent to a Hail Mary.
• 28:50
  Yes, throw it up. And Durant just looked like he
• 28:53
  was in position and it kind of just he ran forward what he was
• 28:56
  doing. I.
• 28:56
  Don't. He just ran forward.
• 28:59
  It was weird. And comet is right there catches
• 29:02
  it. We talked Tao Sig.
• 29:07
  We thought he should have went for it on 4th and four.
• 29:09
  If I'm Ben Johnson, I'm going for two.
• 29:11
  Like you have all the momentum on your side.
• 29:14
  That Rams defense is completely flustered.
• 29:17
  You thought you had the game. One like their defensive lineman
• 29:20
  are celebrating because he's just flinging the ball thinking
• 29:23
  it's over. And then you got to regroup
• 29:26
  right away and get a 2 yard stop.
• 29:28
  I don't know, man, I'm going to disagree with you on that,
• 29:31
  especially not at home. Not at home and not in those
• 29:34
  weather conditions. You know, you, you play for
• 29:37
  overtime. They got the stop that they
• 29:39
  needed in overtime and then they were moving the ball and before
• 29:42
  the the pick. But I you play for overtime,
• 29:46
  you, you try to, you know, maybe get a get a turnover or
• 29:48
  something to where you can just kick the field goal at the end
• 29:50
  and and win it. So no, not imagine not going for
• 29:54
  two because. But we talked about the fact
• 29:58
  that you have it in your hands. All you need is 2 yards to win
• 30:03
  the game. Yeah, but you're at home and
• 30:06
  you're in your elements. I get that.
• 30:08
  Like you play for a tie at home, you play for the win on the
• 30:11
  road. Like that doesn't apply in all
• 30:13
  scenarios. Like you're the dog in that
• 30:15
  game. You're the dog in that game.
• 30:18
  What made you so confident that they would get the two like I
• 30:20
  would? I was confident that Indiana
• 30:22
  would get the four yards like they've done it earlier in the
• 30:24
  game. They've done it time and time
• 30:25
  again. I would have no confidence that
• 30:27
  the Bears could get those two yards.
• 30:30
  I'm not so sure that Indiana would have got that four yards
• 30:33
  either. Like look what it took to
• 30:35
  convert the 4th and five. Like the pressure that they were
• 30:37
  getting on them. I, I don't know, but I still
• 30:41
  would have gone for it in in this situation.
• 30:44
  I'm just rolling the bears what they've done all year, figuring
• 30:47
  out ways to win and I've got a chance to close it.
• 30:50
  And Ben Johnson's been aggressive all year.
• 30:52
  I think he kind of got out of his element a little bit.
• 30:57
  I don't know. I, I, I'm not, I'm not mad at
• 31:00
  him for for kicking the extra point.
• 31:01
  I think that was the right call. I'm going to disagree with you
• 31:03
  on. I I don't think it's completely
• 31:05
  a wrong call. I I don't, I don't think it's an
• 31:08
  ignorant call to go to overtime. But they had the ball.
• 31:10
  They they had the ball with a chance to win in overtime.
• 31:13
  They were on their side of the 50.
• 31:15
  Yeah, I. Mean so it was right there for
• 31:17
  the take and you just got to take care of the ball.
• 31:19
  You do and like that play. I don't know if DJ Moore quit on
• 31:25
  the route or, or what happened. Yeah, but there was a
• 31:30
  miscommunication there, mate. Do you need to take that risk in
• 31:34
  that point or you just keep drinking and dunking and getting
• 31:36
  10 yards and to where you're kicking, You know where you're
• 31:40
  getting to where you can kick a 45 yarder, 40 yarder, but you
• 31:44
  you can't throw that pick, No. No, you can't.
• 31:47
  You can't, certainly can't do that.
• 31:48
  Certainly can't do that. And oh, I mean, once that pick
• 31:52
  happened, yes, you get that feeling that the the bears magic
• 31:58
  maybe is going to run out, but then you never know because you
• 32:00
  just saw what happened on 4th down in regulation.
• 32:03
  And like, do they have one more up their sleeve and Matt Safford
• 32:07
  just kind of calmly drove them down the field and they get a
• 32:11
  game-winning kick. But I mean, dude, what a
• 32:15
  incredible season. For the great season, absolutely
• 32:17
  fantastic season for the Bears. I mean, but they have 6.
• 32:21
  Was it six wins where they were trailing under 2 minutes?
• 32:24
  It was 7. Seven wins when trailing under 2
• 32:27
  minutes. Yeah, Damn, they had another
• 32:29
  one. Yeah.
• 32:30
  They go. Tuesday might have it.
• 32:31
  But like, I mean, that's that's just incredible.
• 32:33
  What an incredible stat. And like, it's like great turn
• 32:37
  around in Chicago, but the Bears magic finally did run out.
• 32:42
  And look, they lost and but Caleb Williams at the Blackhawks
• 32:48
  game sitting right up against the glass last night.
• 32:50
  And you got to be excited about the future.
• 32:54
  If you're a Bears fan, you you got an exciting new young head
• 32:57
  coach. You got an exciting team.
• 32:59
  And now you just got to see if you run it back.
• 33:01
  Because that's the thing we've seen when you win all these
• 33:04
  games the way they did, remember the Chiefs did this two years
• 33:07
  ago. It actually become one the other
• 33:10
  way. So you get you got to prevent
• 33:12
  that from happening. The first game of playoff
• 33:17
  weekend was I was probably looking forward to Rams, Bears
• 33:22
  the most, but this probably the one I was looking forward to the
• 33:24
  second most. Yeah, Bills at Broncos.
• 33:28
  Great game. Great game.
• 33:31
  How much blame does Josh Allen deserve for this?
• 33:34
  1-2 picks, 2 lost fumbles. He fumbled.
• 33:37
  The ball, yeah, he put the ball on the ground.
• 33:39
  Yeah, like that was. Like I feel like people aren't
• 33:42
  talking about that. I mean, yeah, no, he does
• 33:47
  deserve some of that. I mean, he deserves the blame.
• 33:49
  There's no doubt. I mean you.
• 33:51
  Also miss a wide open Dawson Dawson Knox where that would
• 33:55
  ended it. Yeah.
• 33:56
  Oh, yeah. He, yes, yes.
• 33:59
  Then I mean, they, the officials let some pass interference stuff
• 34:02
  go, you know, and then on that last drive in, in overtime,
• 34:10
  they, they call those back-to-back that were very,
• 34:12
  very questionable, I would say questionable.
• 34:16
  Yeah, the pick. It's just my thing is.
• 34:22
  I think it was a good pick. I still don't know for sure, but
• 34:27
  the fact that they went through it as quick as they did when I
• 34:32
  watched them review plays in Week 2, that I'm like, this is
• 34:36
  clearly a fumble. And they feel like they look at
• 34:39
  it for 15 minutes in Week 2 and you're in the AFC Divisional
• 34:44
  round in overtime, where if it's a catch, the Bills are in field
• 34:49
  goal range. If it's a pick, obviously the
• 34:51
  Broncos are going the other way, right?
• 34:54
  And McDermott had to call Tom out even to get them to feel
• 34:57
  like they might look at it a little more.
• 34:59
  I mean, isn't it the rule in the NFL?
• 35:00
  Like to make it a catch, you got to survive the ground and all
• 35:03
  that? I mean, it was dual possession
• 35:04
  and when they hit the ground the to me it was like dual
• 35:08
  possession. When they hit the ground, the
• 35:09
  defender came out with it. I have no problem with it.
• 35:12
  I mean, I think it was a good pick.
• 35:14
  Look, and I'm not arguing the call, I just think it was rushed
• 35:17
  a little bit, like it needed a second look.
• 35:20
  And Joe Burrow tweeted for the first time in like.
• 35:23
  Four years. I saw that today.
• 35:26
  Look, it's strategy. He's trying to get on the good
• 35:28
  side of the refs. He's trying.
• 35:30
  It's strategy, I guess. So let's see that like I'm not
• 35:33
  arguing that it was a bad call. I just a call of that magnitude
• 35:39
  to me deserves a little more time to make sure you're getting
• 35:43
  it right. And I just felt like they kind
• 35:47
  of rushed it. It was, it was right.
• 35:50
  I mean, it was very quick. It was definitely very quick.
• 35:53
  And then on the assuming possession, there's 2 plays in a
• 35:56
  row that. Here's the thing that sucks
• 35:59
  about overtime is a 3040 yard pass play every single time when
• 36:05
  you're inside a field goal range.
• 36:06
  If you see a flag, your team lost or your team won.
• 36:11
  Yeah. And and that it's just you watch
• 36:15
  that whole game and it's such a good game.
• 36:19
  And the play before, like I'm looking, I was like, is this
• 36:23
  going to be a flag? And there wasn't one.
• 36:25
  And then the next play you see it and once they throw that
• 36:29
  flag, it's curtains like it don't matter.
• 36:33
  Like the refs just ended the game.
• 36:35
  And I mean, all you got to do is hit a kick and and the Broncos
• 36:38
  are moving on. Yeah, not late.
• 36:43
  It was questionable, definitely questionable, but.
• 36:47
  It just like when you're watching the whole game, it's
• 36:49
  just you lose some value I feel like when a game ends on API.
• 36:54
  Yeah. And yeah, I mean, in hindsight
• 36:57
  now, I mean, I feel bad for Buffalo.
• 37:00
  I mean, but like if they were never going to, there was ever a
• 37:03
  chance that they were going to win a super bad.
• 37:04
  For them a. Little bit is.
• 37:06
  That is that the Do you feel bad for them?
• 37:08
  I mean, they've went to four straight Super Bowls, lost them
• 37:11
  all. They're in the driver's seat.
• 37:13
  A golden opportunity without Mahomes, Burrow and Jackson in
• 37:17
  the playoffs for Josh Allen, the reigning MVP, to take this team
• 37:22
  to a place it's never been. And they choked.
• 37:26
  Well, I mean, there's a reason why they were on the road at
• 37:28
  Denver because again, we kept saying like, we think they could
• 37:34
  win the Super Bowl because they got Josh Allen, but they still
• 37:36
  haven't been that top team all year.
• 37:38
  They were. 12:00 and 5:00 I mean, it was still like in a lot
• 37:41
  of years, 12 and five probably gets you hosting a this playoff.
• 37:44
  Game 12:00 and 5:00. 12 and five wins the division a lot of
• 37:47
  times. Yeah, but it's not going to get
• 37:49
  you being the one seed overall. No, but it's going to get you in
• 37:52
  this round of the playoffs. It's good you win the division.
• 37:54
  You're hosting this game, you're not on the road in this game,
• 37:58
  right? That's not necessarily true.
• 38:02
  Only the top 2 host, so you got to be a top 2 divisional seed.
• 38:07
  Well, twelve, I mean, I'm. I'm at 12 and five.
• 38:10
  You're not usually going to be the one or the 2.
• 38:13
  I don't. I think you could be.
• 38:15
  They, but they they are what they've kind of been all year.
• 38:18
  They haven't been a great team and I think a lot of us jumped
• 38:23
  on the Bills bandwagon in the postseason because they had the
• 38:26
  one quarterback who has been there done it a little bit
• 38:30
  before. This is his chance.
• 38:32
  There's no Borough, there's no Mahomes, there's no Jackson.
• 38:35
  He's got to take advantage of it and he had four turnovers, 4
• 38:40
  turnovers and miss Dawson Knox and a chance to clinch the game.
• 38:43
  And because of that, they're not moving on from Josh Allen.
• 38:46
  Be smart. You move on from your head coach
• 38:49
  instead. So.
• 38:50
  Harbaugh and Sean McDermott are both out.
• 38:54
  And it's because of, well, Harbaugh's because of one kick
• 38:59
  and because I I still don't think he gets fired if they make
• 39:02
  the playoffs, regardless of what happens against the Texans.
• 39:05
  And Mcdermott's out because because the referees decided to
• 39:11
  say. It was an interception instead
• 39:12
  of, yeah, I mean, that was a big part of it, but.
• 39:14
  Also, if you don't have 4 turnovers from your star
• 39:16
  quarterback, you you probably don't lose that game either.
• 39:21
  I mean, yeah, and it sucks. Because next week I think, I
• 39:24
  mean, I kind of wish the Bills would have won because next week
• 39:26
  I think it's just going to be a boring match up with Nobo
• 39:30
  Knicks. I'm I don't think Jared Stidham
• 39:32
  is going into Foxborough with a chance to win.
• 39:34
  I think Josh Allen, the Bills would go into Foxborough with a
• 39:37
  chance to win. But with Noble next I could see.
• 39:42
  This being a close game but. It's going to be a low if it.
• 39:47
  Is a close game it's going. To be a, it's going to be a 13
• 39:50
  to 10. Type of close game I could be.
• 39:52
  A 17 to 14 with and. 17 being a final score with somebody
• 39:56
  kicking a game-winning field goal.
• 39:58
  We don't need to go a ton into the the Texans the Patriots game
• 40:03
  boring like bring. In Davis Mills.
• 40:08
  Like do what? Bring in Davis.
• 40:09
  Mills CJ Stroud was terrible. Davis Mills bring him in.
• 40:14
  Like, I don't think they. Lost the game when?
• 40:16
  CJ Stroud was hurt in the middle of the year.
• 40:18
  He kept him. He kept him afloat.
• 40:20
  Yeah. And CJ.
• 40:21
  Stroud. Not you.
• 40:24
  Are not winning the game with. The way he was playing, I mean,
• 40:26
  how many total turnovers? How many?
• 40:28
  Total turnovers do we have in that game from both sides?
• 40:30
  I mean it was we have 4 picks. 5 turnover IF8 total.
• 40:37
  Turnovers 5 from the Texans and three from the Patriots.
• 40:40
  Like that's bad football. 4 picks and you complete. 20 of 47
• 40:45
  passes that's. Brutal.
• 40:48
  And really, they still had a. Chance.
• 40:54
  But. It was still.
• 40:57
  The game was not. Over in the second-half, like
• 40:59
  they still had a chance if he would have figured out how to
• 41:02
  make some plays. And that's why I say like, it
• 41:05
  was 21, it was 20. 116 going to the fourth in the New England.
• 41:11
  Yeah. Goes bad.
• 41:14
  So now we look. At the AFC.
• 41:16
  And the NFC Championship games, and you just think it's with
• 41:22
  Jared Stidham. There's no way the Broncos can.
• 41:26
  I mean, I know their defense. I know their.
• 41:27
  Defense is is good, but New England's defense is also good.
• 41:31
  I mean, when that happens you, like you said it, it could be a
• 41:35
  low scoring game, but I'm going Drake May has a chance to put up
• 41:38
  points and Jared Stidham does now does the Nick Foles tweet.
• 41:42
  To the Broncos fans, does that give you any encouragement?
• 41:45
  I did not see Nick Foles tweet to the Broncos.
• 41:47
  Fans, as you know, Nick Foles. Had some success against the New
• 41:52
  England Patriots in the postseason as a as a rack up
• 41:55
  quarterback you could run the Phillies special.
• 41:57
  Is that what? Is that what Nick Foles is
• 41:59
  telling the Broncos to do? They they might, but.
• 42:03
  I don't, I don't think, I don't think it's a no doubter that the
• 42:07
  Patriots are going to win this game.
• 42:08
  I think the Broncos defense is that good.
• 42:11
  If if you made me pick, yes, I'm going to Patriots because you've
• 42:15
  got a quarterback who's going to finish second in MVP voting
• 42:19
  against a guy who hasn't thrown a pass since 20/23/2020.
• 42:26
  Four, it's. Been a couple years since he's
• 42:29
  even thrown a pass. They did give him AI mean they
• 42:32
  gave him a two year contract I think for six or 10 million
• 42:37
  something like that. So they they paid him some money
• 42:40
  to be their backup. Sean Payton obviously believes
• 42:42
  in him. I I think it's going to be a
• 42:45
  close game. But I think the Patriots doing.
• 42:46
  Differently. No, actually I'd forgotten.
• 42:48
  I I. Misspoke.
• 42:49
  I thought the game was in in Foxborough, but the Broncos were
• 42:51
  the one seat. So I mean, being at home, yeah,
• 42:53
  being at home maybe makes it a little bit better, but I just
• 42:59
  don't see a way that Jared two guy who hasn't thrown a pass in
• 43:01
  three years is going to move the ball and score on the Patriots
• 43:05
  defence. So just got to rely on that
• 43:06
  defence on, on. The Denver defence, that's
• 43:09
  that's what you have to do. Hopefully you get it takes away
• 43:12
  touchdown a. Special teams.
• 43:13
  Touchdown or something like. That maybe.
• 43:15
  It definitely takes away some luster.
• 43:17
  From this game, seen a lot of injuries affect teams in the
• 43:21
  playoffs. Yeah, and.
• 43:24
  Obviously losing. Your quarterback is as big as
• 43:27
  the injury as it gets, but I never I didn't even notice that
• 43:29
  he did it. Did you?
• 43:32
  No. And I I still think it's not.
• 43:34
  Completely certain what play it happened on because he he.
• 43:39
  Threw the the yeah, because the ones where they had the pass
• 43:41
  interference like it had it happened before.
• 43:44
  That is what they were saying. Like he threw the ball with this
• 43:47
  injury. I mean, it wasn't when.
• 43:49
  He went and took the knee in the.
• 43:50
  Middle of the field, so it had to happen, but there's a lot
• 43:54
  there's. People out there on the Internet
• 43:56
  saying it was, which it wasn't. No, but you can see there's
• 44:01
  video of him where you can see him kind of grimacing a little
• 44:04
  bit on the sideline. And then you are also with his
• 44:07
  because he, he was interviewed by Tracy Wilson after the game.
• 44:12
  You can tell that he is not putting any weight on that
• 44:15
  ankle. You can tell that his legs kind
• 44:17
  of bent if you look at it closely.
• 44:20
  So I I don't I would think that he probably knew something was
• 44:24
  was really bad and the fact that they had already ruled him out
• 44:28
  when Peyton was doing his post game yeah.
• 44:32
  So they. Knew.
• 44:33
  Yeah. So yeah, but.
• 44:36
  The on the other side, you got the Rams going into the Seahawks
• 44:42
  divisional division opponents. Yeah, Seahawks favorite, I think
• 44:48
  that's what. I just saw 2 1/2.
• 44:51
  I expect that to be a pretty good game.
• 44:52
  You know, like kind of close to what it was in the regular
• 44:56
  season when when Seattle had that that come back.
• 44:59
  But, you know, Seattle just looks unbeatable.
• 45:04
  Based on what they just did to the.
• 45:05
  Niners. So I I just think it's going to
• 45:07
  be hard for for LA to I mean, I don't LA is familiar with it.
• 45:10
  They, they do it every year. But so was yeah, or so was San
• 45:13
  Francisco. I just think going into the
• 45:15
  12th, man, it's going to be hard.
• 45:18
  To hard to do. It's going to be hard to win.
• 45:20
  I I think it's going to be hard, but that.
• 45:22
  Other side has Matt Stafford and they they have Sean McVeigh and
• 45:28
  obviously they've done it before.
• 45:33
  These two teams are familiar with they're not they're not
• 45:35
  going to be intimidated by the 12th man.
• 45:38
  I mean, they've played in, I mean, a lot of these players.
• 45:40
  Have played in in this environment, you know, from
• 45:41
  multiple years. Yeah, I I think I've been
• 45:44
  higher. On the Rams for the most of the
• 45:46
  year to switch now I think would I got to stick to my guns.
• 45:52
  I I'm going to go Rams here. I but what they did last week to
• 45:57
  the Niners is just it makes it tougher.
• 46:00
  That was your team. That was your team.
• 46:02
  I know. I would, but let's also take a
• 46:06
  look back. How many games did I get right
• 46:07
  last week? I picked the bills.
• 46:11
  OK, Yeah. They don't.
• 46:14
  They did not win. No, you picked the Patriots.
• 46:17
  I picked. The Patriots.
• 46:20
  I picked the Rams, I picked the Rams and then you picked the
• 46:24
  49ers and I picked the 40. Niners 2 and 2. 2:00 and 2:00.
• 46:28
  But let's talk. About, you know, talking about.
• 46:30
  What you got right and what you got wrong?
• 46:32
  What's this on here? And this your favorite bet of
• 46:35
  all time was what? A four leg parlay.
• 46:37
  It was terrible. And how many legs did you get
• 46:40
  out of your favorite bet of all time?
• 46:42
  I got the. I got the last leg which.
• 46:44
  When you're already dead, it doesn't matter.
• 46:47
  But I had the Bills money line. That was the first one.
• 46:50
  I felt real great about it. They they get screwed on Josh
• 46:54
  Allen not knowing how to protect the ball and fake interceptions
• 46:58
  and passing. Air Francis.
• 46:59
  Don't really think it's a fake interception, but when you're
• 47:02
  betting, you'd think that the next game that night was the
• 47:05
  Niners, Seahawks. Oh, I had, I had the Niners in
• 47:07
  the points plus 7. Felt real good about that one.
• 47:10
  Yeah. And then what do we have all?
• 47:14
  I had the under in the first half of the Texans and the
• 47:17
  Patriots under 20. That did not happen and the only
• 47:23
  one I got was the Bears plus 3 1/2.
• 47:27
  OK. Yeah, Carl said.
• 47:30
  Carl said you texted him. I was like, this is my favorite
• 47:32
  bet ever and you were just. I do.
• 47:36
  It a lot. I do it a lot.
• 47:37
  It's wondering like how they allow somebody like this to talk
• 47:40
  sports. Well, in this day and age,
• 47:42
  anybody in the world can host a podcast and you can be the
• 47:44
  dumbest person alive and still do it.
• 47:46
  Nobody has to listen to it, but you can host it.
• 47:48
  That's true. So I'm officially going Pat's
• 47:54
  Rams. I'm going to go rematch.
• 47:59
  Of the Super Bowl, when Pete Carroll.
• 48:02
  Decided to not give the. Ball to Marshawn Lynch and lose
• 48:05
  the game for Seattle. We're going to go with that
• 48:07
  rematch and we're going to go the Seahawks and Patriots with
• 48:11
  the Seahawks this time. The bad news is that the
• 48:15
  Patriots are in the. Playoffs.
• 48:16
  It's probably going to be a rematch because they've been
• 48:18
  there 47 times. The Patriots, Rams, also a
• 48:22
  rematch. It is a rematch, yeah.
• 48:24
  And we talked a. Little bit about this, the
• 48:28
  Patriots dynasty with Tom Brady. You get so tired of them being
• 48:31
  there and they're like, Brady's gone, Bill Checks gone.
• 48:35
  They're going to be down for a little bit.
• 48:37
  They did. They stunk for a couple years.
• 48:39
  They were. 4 and 13 two years in a row.
• 48:43
  And now they're on the verge. Of going back to the Super Bowl,
• 48:46
  Mike Rabel's first year, because they got a very.
• 48:48
  They got a Really. Really good coach.
• 48:49
  And Mike Rabel, a guy that's had proven success in the NFL when
• 48:53
  he took the Titans, is the number to the one seed in the
• 48:55
  AFC. So you get a coach like that.
• 48:58
  I didn't expect it to happen in Year 1, but here we are, yeah.
• 49:04
  So won't get a ton. Into college hoops, but the the
• 49:09
  game of the week to me was Florida going.
• 49:15
  Into Nashville and handing. The Vanderbilt, their second
• 49:17
  loss of the week. Yeah.
• 49:22
  Do you know? Did you see?
• 49:23
  Did you watch the game? I did not, no.
• 49:26
  So. Florida's managers.
• 49:31
  Forgot like 3 jerseys. What?
• 49:36
  And like. Xavion Lee was wearing 99,
• 49:41
  Boogie Flam was wearing 33 and had somebody else's name on the
• 49:45
  back of his jersey. Like, how do you do that?
• 49:49
  I. I don't know, I was talking to
• 49:51
  former. Louisville women's basketball
• 49:53
  managers Nick Newman Brady walls about it on on Saturday.
• 49:58
  Like you, you're fired. You have to be fired.
• 50:02
  But in a weird way, it might have turned around their season
• 50:06
  because Xavier Lee played the best game that he's played all
• 50:09
  year where number 99 and I'm guessing that all Florida fans
• 50:14
  are hoping that he wears that jersey the rest of the year
• 50:17
  because he finished with a season high late.
• 50:19
  He had like 20 points and and was great.
• 50:22
  But their guards are starting to play a little better with that
• 50:25
  front court. I'm not saying it yet, but if
• 50:29
  they they keep improving, they might have a chance to they're
• 50:34
  starting to look. I mean they're.
• 50:35
  Looking now like starting to look like the Florida we
• 50:38
  expected him to look like. I mean, ever since they lost
• 50:40
  that Missouri game on the 3rd of, of, of January, you know,
• 50:44
  they, they beat a ranked Georgia team by 15.
• 50:48
  They beat a ranked Tennessee team by almost 30.
• 50:50
  They won by 24, whatever it was. They then go to Oklahoma, he's
• 50:55
  not very good. They win that game by 23 and
• 50:58
  then they go into Vanderbilt and, you know, another ranked
• 51:00
  win. So what is that what 123 ranked
• 51:02
  wins here in the last 12 days? Yeah.
• 51:06
  So this. Is this is the Florida?
• 51:08
  Team that we expected to see at the beginning of the end they
• 51:11
  won again tonight. They beat LSU by 18.
• 51:13
  So they're not just winning they're they're they're beating
• 51:16
  some good teams and right teams and they're winning them by
• 51:19
  double digits, you know upwards of 20 points almost every night.
• 51:22
  So no. And the issue with.
• 51:25
  Them was was Boogie Flan and was Xavier Lee.
• 51:28
  Were they going to be able to provide the production that they
• 51:30
  lost last year with Walter Clayton and the rest of those
• 51:32
  guys? Because you know how good Condon
• 51:35
  and Hawk and Chin Chin like Yelu all are in in in the front
• 51:39
  court. And you know what Todd Golden
• 51:43
  can do as a coach and they're definitely turning in the right
• 51:46
  direction. And like, here's another thing,
• 51:49
  like last week undefeated Vanderbilt.
• 51:52
  I'm like, dude, this team can win it all.
• 51:54
  And then what do they go do? Lose 2 in a.
• 51:57
  Row because they get. They get the Nick Jinx.
• 52:00
  Well, another team that you know that.
• 52:02
  That was right there. That was also undefeated.
• 52:04
  You know, we were talking about there was those five teams on
• 52:06
  the field. Iowa State, Yeah, they've gone
• 52:08
  and dropped two in a row. It is one on the road to a a
• 52:11
  Cincinnati team that has really been struggling this year.
• 52:14
  So I mean that was kind of my surprise of the weekend was Iowa
• 52:17
  State going to Cincinnati and Cincinnati coming out with a
• 52:19
  nine point victory. Well, you talk Wes Miller
• 52:22
  needing to win. Man, that he, he needed that
• 52:24
  one. Hey, look, you.
• 52:27
  Go to. A kind of a desperate Kansas
• 52:29
  team that's kind of starting to figure things out.
• 52:32
  You're getting rolled the whole game.
• 52:33
  You never really make a run like, look, it's your first loss
• 52:36
  of the year. You kind of can push that one
• 52:38
  aside. But then the yeah, to follow
• 52:40
  that one up with another loss at AUC team that you said is has
• 52:44
  really kind of struggled and under Wes Miller.
• 52:46
  And that was really not explainable.
• 52:49
  But they did go and they won by 30 tonight against UCF, trying
• 52:52
  to get that back right. But Kentucky, I guess you kind
• 52:57
  of got to talk about them. Their last three games, they've
• 53:02
  came back from 12 down against Mississippi State, from 18 down
• 53:07
  against LSU and then 17 down against Tennessee.
• 53:11
  Two of them on the road, Yeah. Two of them on the road.
• 53:15
  You. You get that the pass to Moreno
• 53:19
  again at at at LSU, Yeah, the lightener style.
• 53:22
  Yeah, yeah. I mean it, it really did remind.
• 53:25
  You of the the lightener catch he he didn't bounce it.
• 53:29
  He didn't have as much time. But did you even go up and catch
• 53:33
  that ball like his catch was contested.
• 53:36
  Leitner's catch was just not contested.
• 53:38
  They're behind him. Just let him get it like his
• 53:40
  catch was contested for him to go up that I get it turn around
• 53:43
  and make that shot was was pretty awesome.
• 53:46
  And then to follow that up with coming back and beating
• 53:50
  Tennessee again, you lose like you're down 12 against
• 53:54
  Mississippi State and and Big Blue Nation is about to be like,
• 53:59
  let's go, all right, Mark Pope, we've seen enough.
• 54:01
  And now, then you win that one. And then you're down 18 against
• 54:06
  L against the LSU team is not that great.
• 54:09
  Nope. You figure out a way to win that
• 54:10
  one. And then you get down. 17 you're
• 54:12
  like, we going to do this every game and it it looks like that
• 54:16
  might be and in a way they're finding a way.
• 54:19
  Louisville. Got it going right by just
• 54:24
  absolutely putting on a Pittsburgh team that did not
• 54:28
  look like they even wanted to be there.
• 54:31
  No, I was. Yeah, that was a dominating
• 54:35
  performance by the cards from start to finish there.
• 54:37
  I think they jumped out. What was it, 12 O, 14 O?
• 54:39
  Something like that. Yeah, Mcneely hit a couple
• 54:41
  threes there to start. And it was they were off to the
• 54:44
  races for From. The beginning of the game.
• 54:46
  So that was kind of it. So we only have three undefeated
• 54:50
  teams now? Yeah, we have.
• 54:53
  Arizona. Nebraska, Yeah, in Miami, Ohio.
• 54:58
  Well, I just saw that one in double.
• 55:00
  Overtime, I believe the RedHawks on.
• 55:03
  Saturday we're down late and. They got a three.
• 55:10
  At the buzzer to send it to overtime and then they end up
• 55:15
  winning overtime and who my guy Peter Souter had 37 points was 7
• 55:22
  to 10 from 3 and hit the game went hit the three.
• 55:24
  They kind of sealed it in in overtime.
• 55:27
  It was Ian Emer or Ian Elmer who hit the three to to force
• 55:31
  overtime. He had 17 points, but they are
• 55:35
  they and they cracked the top 25 for the first time this year.
• 55:38
  I mean, if you're 19 and O, I don't care who you're playing,
• 55:42
  you need to be in the top 25 S Give give the Red Hawks some
• 55:45
  love. I'll give them some love.
• 55:46
  Yeah. I mean they like.
• 55:47
  I said they did it again tonight.
• 55:49
  They had a shot with six seconds left to force overtime against
• 55:52
  Kent State and pulled that game out on the road by 6:00.
• 55:54
  So I mean, yeah, I mean, you're 20 and O, you can only play the
• 55:59
  teams that are on your schedule. So, you know, you might say they
• 56:04
  they're Mac teams, but 20 and I was. 20 and O so yeah, you got
• 56:08
  to put. Them in in in the rankings and
• 56:11
  does that ever loose up? Yeah.
• 56:14
  So we're we're. Wrapping up college football's
• 56:17
  done, we're wrapping up NFL. So this, our show will really
• 56:21
  kind of start being all about college hoops and I'm excited
• 56:26
  about that. There's a, there's a lot of good
• 56:27
  teams out there, a lot of lot of fun guards.
• 56:30
  I'm I'm going to, I'm going to put together my favorite guards
• 56:34
  to watch list here in a couple weeks because I've got a, I've
• 56:36
  got a few guys that I really like watching play.
• 56:38
  OK. And that was why I was.
• 56:41
  Such on Vandy because I. Really like watching Tyler
• 56:43
  Tanner play and Texas Tech Christian Anderson.
• 56:47
  But we'll, we'll put, we'll put together, maybe you could put
• 56:50
  together some bigs that you like to watch.
• 56:51
  I'll put together some smalls, bigs and some smalls.
• 56:55
  Got it, but before we get out. Of here we talked a little bit
• 57:00
  about Liv last week with with the move with with Brooks Kepka.
• 57:05
  I thought this story was was pretty interesting.
• 57:09
  Michael Osaso, who won the NCA individual national championship
• 57:15
  last year, played it. Played it, Ole Miss had.
• 57:21
  Because he was a national. Championship you, you get, you
• 57:24
  get an invitation to to the Masters.
• 57:26
  So was was eligible playing the Masters, but instead he is
• 57:31
  elected to join Lyft and he's getting a $20 million straight
• 57:37
  away. He's playing on Phil's, uh, high
• 57:40
  Flyers team. You you think this is going to
• 57:45
  be something? That that so the the advantage
• 57:47
  with Liv is you get your money right away.
• 57:49
  You don't have to go through all the the different levels of
• 57:53
  tours to get to the PDA. You don't have to go through
• 57:55
  Korn Ferry get getting that $20 million bonus.
• 57:58
  Will we see other? It's hard man like I I.
• 58:02
  Understand why you want to do it because you want to get that
• 58:04
  guaranteed 20 million payday and you don't not have to go through
• 58:07
  Qualifying School in the corn fairy.
• 58:09
  And you know what if you know you don't, you don't make it
• 58:12
  like what if you know you all of a sudden your game isn't what
• 58:15
  you thought it was and you don't end up making it the PGA Tour,
• 58:18
  but you're throwing away like as a golfer, like you're throwing
• 58:20
  like you're never going to play in the Masters now.
• 58:22
  You're never going to play in the Masters.
• 58:24
  You're never going to play probably in the Ryder Cup.
• 58:27
  Like, you're never going to like, as a golfer, like these
• 58:30
  tournaments that you probably dream about, you're never going
• 58:34
  to get a chance to play in them now.
• 58:37
  Yeah. And.
• 58:39
  Your average. Golf fans, Not ever.
• 58:41
  Going to know who you are? No.
• 58:43
  No. No, because you're you're not
• 58:46
  going to get. Invites to any of these majors?
• 58:48
  No. So is there's no way for.
• 58:50
  You to really find a way to. Qualify.
• 58:52
  No, you're, you're. Done like you're yes, you're
• 58:55
  never going to play in the Masters or, you know, the US
• 58:58
  Open or the British or the PGA. You're never going to be on a
• 59:01
  Ryder Cup team. You're never going to probably
• 59:03
  on a Presidents Cup team like you are just going to go get and
• 59:06
  forgot about, but you got 20. Million in your pocket, yeah.
• 59:12
  And how hard would that to be? Pass up?
• 59:13
  How hard would that be to pass up as a Well, I guess it all
• 59:17
  depends on he's. Also foregoing his senior year
• 59:19
  too. Like you can make.
• 59:22
  Like if you're if, you're good, if you're as good as you're
• 59:25
  supposed to be, Like you're an NCAA champion if you're as good
• 59:29
  if. You if you have confidence.
• 59:31
  In your skills and you think you can make it, You can probably
• 59:34
  make the 20 million on tour and then some.
• 59:38
  To me, it's all. It's all about.
• 59:39
  Do you have? Confidence in yourself.
• 59:41
  Do you trust your game enough to where you know what, I'll go to
• 59:44
  the corn, the Q Qualifying School in the Corn Ferry Tour.
• 59:46
  I'm good enough to win on these those tournaments.
• 59:49
  I'm going to go on the PGA Tour and I'm going to be good on the
• 59:51
  PGA Tour. And then I'll get my 20 million
• 59:54
  and then, then, then some. Yeah, it's it's the long game.
• 59:58
  Against It's the long game. It's the long game versus.
• 1:00:00
  The guarantee. And there's a lot of, there's a
• 1:00:06
  lot of national champions that never make it on the PGA Tour.
• 1:00:10
  So it's it's not a given. It's not a given, but it's all
• 1:00:13
  about the. Confidence in yourself and in
• 1:00:15
  your game if you think that you can do it and.
• 1:00:19
  There's a lot of talk like live. I don't I don't think they
• 1:00:23
  wanted they changed the rule from 54 to 72.
• 1:00:25
  I don't think you can wear shorts anymore either.
• 1:00:28
  I think that's a rule that they changed.
• 1:00:30
  Why? Which is stupid because it's
• 1:00:33
  live like who cares but I was watching it anyway.
• 1:00:37
  They're saying that they should. Let him wear shorts because
• 1:00:40
  dudes just got absolute trunks and he wears.
• 1:00:43
  Small shorts. He's got freak, he's got trunks,
• 1:00:46
  dude. And like his swing is if you
• 1:00:50
  tried to emulate, if I tried to emulate his swing, my body would
• 1:00:53
  fall apart. Like every bone would just
• 1:00:57
  break. Also, why wouldn't he?
• 1:01:02
  Why wouldn't he play? I would have, if I was him, I
• 1:01:06
  would have probably have played the Masters and then maybe tried
• 1:01:10
  to join live after that. If you had saw that opportunity.
• 1:01:12
  Yeah. If you get a top five, you get
• 1:01:13
  to qualify the. Next year I would have probably
• 1:01:16
  I would. Have probably would have played
• 1:01:18
  the Masters because you were never playing it.
• 1:01:22
  No, like as a golfer, like as a. As a golfer, like that's the,
• 1:01:26
  that's the Mecca, Like that's the golf Mecca and they ain't
• 1:01:29
  making no pathway for you to get.
• 1:01:30
  Back in. Oh, you're out.
• 1:01:32
  No, he's, he's. You don't have any.
• 1:01:33
  Name recognition. He will never.
• 1:01:34
  Play, I guess that he'll never. Play on the PGA Tour.
• 1:01:37
  He'll never play in the major tournaments, Ryder Cups or
• 1:01:39
  anything. Like he's throwing it all away,
• 1:01:40
  but he's throwing it away for $20 million.
• 1:01:45
  Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's a tough.
• 1:01:46
  Call, it's a tough a lot of people.
• 1:01:48
  Would throw away that. Opportunity for I guarantee 20
• 1:01:50
  mil. That's it's a tough call, but
• 1:01:54
  he's got a figure out a way if this is what he's going to do
• 1:01:58
  and obviously this is what he's going to do.
• 1:01:59
  Like you got to play it a lot like Bryson does to where you're
• 1:02:03
  you're making your name otherwise, because you're not
• 1:02:05
  going to make your name by winning on the on the lift.
• 1:02:08
  Some some Youtubes and some tik Toks.
• 1:02:10
  I think it's the only way to do it to.
• 1:02:12
  Really build that right. Name recognition.
• 1:02:14
  Yeah. So have you watched?
• 1:02:16
  Any of the TGL. I was on at the bowling alleys.
• 1:02:19
  I. Haven't watched a lot.
• 1:02:21
  I did see was on the bowling alley today.
• 1:02:23
  Jupiter was losing again. I'm assuming they lost.
• 1:02:27
  They still haven't won. They're they're, they're
• 1:02:29
  terrible. What are they like?
• 1:02:30
  Wait, they didn't want single? They didn't.
• 1:02:31
  Win a single match last year rowing 2.
• 1:02:33
  This year they have. They had a chance and they won
• 1:02:39
  like they did the hammer and got it back to one and then they
• 1:02:42
  lost a nice hole and it was over.
• 1:02:45
  Poor Tiger. I don't know, like the ratings
• 1:02:47
  are down, I. Think pretty significantly from
• 1:02:50
  year 1. And I mean, Tiger's there, but
• 1:02:54
  he ain't playing. He's just kind of being the
• 1:02:56
  hammer guy where he's got the hammer in his pocket and and
• 1:03:00
  helping them read grains. Like I enjoy watching it because
• 1:03:05
  I just like watching those guys play, but I just don't know if
• 1:03:08
  it appeals. Did they start it earlier this
• 1:03:10
  year like? No, it's probably at the same
• 1:03:11
  time it did. OK.
• 1:03:13
  I mean, there's like. I'm not watching it only because
• 1:03:16
  there's other stuff I want to watch on on.
• 1:03:18
  Like I'm watching ranked college basketball, like I'm watching
• 1:03:20
  Arkansas and Ganderbilt tonight. Like, you know, if if there was
• 1:03:25
  if it was in April after the bat, like college basketball
• 1:03:28
  season's over and it's just 162 baseball games on.
• 1:03:31
  Yeah, maybe I'll watch TGL on a Tuesday night instead of Reds
• 1:03:35
  baseball. But it's it's hard to do that
• 1:03:38
  because. I mean, prime time is going to
• 1:03:40
  be going up against something for the most part.
• 1:03:43
  And they normally what they do is they have that 7:00 slot
• 1:03:46
  where they're leading into the the second game of, of college
• 1:03:49
  basketball. And whether it's on ESPN or ESPN
• 1:03:52
  2, they've got a double header. So they're always going up
• 1:03:55
  against games. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:03:58
  I, I think it's a good concept. Like I said, I enjoy watching
• 1:04:01
  it. I, I just don't know how much
• 1:04:02
  the, the casual golfer or the casual sports fan is watching
• 1:04:06
  that overheating college basketball.
• 1:04:09
  Yeah. And I watched it.
• 1:04:10
  More last year than, like I said, than I have this year.
• 1:04:13
  Well, the novelty of it and I. I think that's a lot.
• 1:04:16
  I think that's why their numbers are down, because it was the
• 1:04:18
  novelty. People kind of just wanted to
• 1:04:20
  check it out to see what it was. I enjoyed it, I got it.
• 1:04:23
  I enjoy. It I got I if I sat there and
• 1:04:26
  watched it, I would I would like it, but there's just other
• 1:04:29
  things that I would rather watch.
• 1:04:30
  They need like they mic up. The guys and but like you give
• 1:04:36
  Cam Smith a microphone and it's just like, dude talk, right?
• 1:04:41
  And like that's the thing about Jupiter's team.
• 1:04:44
  They're they're entertaining, but they never win like Max and
• 1:04:47
  kiss are are fun, like they're, they're funny and they say stuff
• 1:04:51
  and tigers, tigers there, which adds another element.
• 1:04:55
  But and they added Akshay this year, which they actually give
• 1:04:58
  them a player that can that is not owed.
• 1:05:02
  But I don't know. I, I was just interested to see
• 1:05:06
  that the numbers are kind of down and I, I do think it kind
• 1:05:08
  of makes sense and maybe they need to keep adding new elements
• 1:05:11
  every year to what the teams are, are the teams like.
• 1:05:14
  The teams are the same, right? What?
• 1:05:15
  Max on Jupiter last year. Yeah, like why don't we just
• 1:05:18
  redraft? Well, I I think you.
• 1:05:21
  Want some consistency? There because the the the goal.
• 1:05:24
  Is to have people. Develop fandom like so like they
• 1:05:28
  like. I'm a Jupiter fan.
• 1:05:29
  Or I'm a I think that's the goal I.
• 1:05:32
  Mean I I think in golf, I think in golf fans root more.
• 1:05:37
  For players well, and that's why you take your your.
• 1:05:41
  Like I cheer for New York because Ricky's on it.
• 1:05:43
  Like I think that's the you cheer for Jupiter because
• 1:05:46
  Tiger's on it, right? Like, like, and that's the
• 1:05:50
  point. Like golf is an individual sport
• 1:05:53
  and everybody has their favorite golfers like they want.
• 1:05:56
  Like I'm not ever going to have the connection to.
• 1:05:58
  The the Jupiter, whatever they call themselves or like the
• 1:06:01
  Boston Commons because Rory's on it.
• 1:06:03
  Like I'm not going to like, I don't care what the team name is
• 1:06:06
  or like all that. Like I'm just want Rory to win.
• 1:06:09
  I want him to win if he's on Boston or if he's on Jupiter or
• 1:06:12
  if he's on Atlanta or LA or whatever.
• 1:06:14
  The teams don't even play in the cities.
• 1:06:16
  Like the city names are just stupid anyway.
• 1:06:18
  I yes like like. They don't even play in.
• 1:06:20
  Boston Rick's from California and lives in Florida.
• 1:06:23
  And he plays for New York like, like, no, like, you're not I.
• 1:06:27
  Don't think you're going to get that connection to the teams
• 1:06:29
  that you're looking for. No.
• 1:06:30
  And look, I'm as. Big of a Rick fan as there is I
• 1:06:34
  and I'll watch New York every time they play, but how much New
• 1:06:37
  York Golf Club gear have I bought?
• 1:06:41
  And. I I don't know how many.
• 1:06:43
  People are more like of a golf fan of an individual player than
• 1:06:48
  I am. I mean, there probably are some
• 1:06:50
  people, but I just. It's got a ways to go.
• 1:06:54
  Yeah, before I I think it's cool concept.
• 1:06:57
  I enjoy watching it but if I'm not by merch I don't know who
• 1:07:00
  is. Not many people, not many
• 1:07:04
  people. But you got to get.
• 1:07:06
  Your Indiana merch before. That it's gone, they will
• 1:07:10
  restock. It dude.
• 1:07:12
  They maybe won't. Like the?
• 1:07:15
  Braves won the World Series in. 21 That night I bought the
• 1:07:18
  toboggan. The next day you couldn't get it
• 1:07:21
  and it was never available again.
• 1:07:23
  So if there's something that you want, you better get it.
• 1:07:26
  I'll. I'll look into that, yeah.
• 1:07:28
  And then also come back. Like 3-4 months later and see
• 1:07:32
  what's on sale, but get what what you want right now that you
• 1:07:35
  make sure that I like there's something that you definitely
• 1:07:39
  have to have buy it tonight and then go back 5456 months later
• 1:07:44
  and see if stuff's 50% off yeah, because I I got.
• 1:07:48
  A ton of Bengals. AFC Championship stuff like 6
• 1:07:52
  months to a year later. Yeah.
• 1:07:54
  Bought all the nephews Christmas presents and there you go.
• 1:07:59
  T-shirt jerseys with the Super. Bowl patch on it, all kinds of
• 1:08:03
  stuff. But the Indiana Hoosiers, they
• 1:08:10
  won the Signati, crazy won the Signati and y'all won bowling.
• 1:08:16
  Congrats, we did. But.
• 1:08:19
  That's all I got for this one. We went like.
• 1:08:21
