INDIANA 38, ALABAMA 3: Rose Bowl Reaction with Grant Shouse & Mike Hutsell (2.130.3) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

• 0:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, Mike, I guess let's just what we do now here.
• 0:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't be Anna.
• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just beat the, it out of SCC teams and win the Rose Bowl by 35 points.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, just what we do here now.
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely dominated this game.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now, two wins away from winning a football national championship.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: And you declared the game over at 414p.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: and we set the line at 413 p.m.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: I know, but I didn't factor in the pre-game ceremonies and, you know, I thought it would be, you know, I didn't, that was a bad move on my part.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Great.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: Clared it over when Ohio State was losing on the night before.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: For anybody who doesn't know or isn't familiar with the podcast, the running joke is the game doesn't start until Grant declares Indiana dead.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: after us after a sack in a mediocre, not even gonna say a shank plant, just a mediocre plant.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: Grant texts the group and says, this is bad guys.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't like this.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here's my thing is that you called it a little early.
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you set the line at 413 PM and I actually was
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: text it as a joke at like four 12 p.m. because you both bet the under.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I was going to text it at four 12 p.m. and then he just happened to get sacked right there at four 14 p.m. so that's on ice in it.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So overbetters were like, thank God, Windows, it got sacked there.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: Other than, but see the highlights, the highlights for Bama stopped there.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: That was the end of the day for Bama
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was just going to say that a like after that, they didn't do a thing else.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: You could tell they, they were pretty much depleted when they could figure out whether or not they wanted to punt the ball on fork down or try and sneak it and ended up running right in Indiana.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and Indiana stopped them on defense and retro aspect of the game was never more over at that point.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's correct.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: when Indiana went down when they went out right before halftime as methodically as they did with one time out that he really didn't even need to use and went up 17 to nothing.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: You could just see but Bama was done.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: Their defense completely tapped out at that point and my one area of concern was okay Simpson's out there was no chance like Greg said in our group chat.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Simpson was never
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: I was a little nervous because I've seen that too many times where a backup comes in that you don't really prep for.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: He maybe has a different style.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: He can do things with his legs at the other guy.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: I can't do.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's maybe got a better arm and they got more downfield.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: But there was a little bit of that when they made the switch to Mac, but didn't matter.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: The white flag of a 24 to nothing
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know, barriotum special.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Turned up.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: Wrapedly chunked to a three possession game.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But only guys Pat Cougan's been named the player of the Rose Bowl.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then again, another team of work, because it could have been, well, different guys.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that actually went to the just offensive line as a whole, not just Pat Cougan.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Pat Cougan was just the representative that they're for that airline.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: But, uh,
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: they, they did dominate, they dominated all three phases.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like that's obviously what you have to do.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: This was probably the most dominating performance as the teams had in the playoffs.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, honestly, I didn't see much of the two lane.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't see much of the two lane or misgain, but I can't imagine that Ole Miss just dominated like Indiana did tonight.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And in the end is now the first team in the 12 team playoff era to have a first round by not played around New Years and win a game that's not been done now or that's officially been done after the previous six at loss.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And now it's the fact that we can finally make fun of Ohio State fans for getting their
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, pretty great times here, and now Indiana, I still think the fields wide open.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they can, absolutely, win the national championship now.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think you just kind of wanted to get the monkey off your back a little bit and now that you've played a game like this, there's really no There's obviously still pressures go out and win, but now that you feel like you're comfortable, you just go out and do what you do now and You've put that on tape there for, uh, Oregon and whoever the opponent in the national championship would be And I just want to remind you that Indiana football is in the final four
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, thanks for participating Ohio State.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: Wait, or represent the big 10.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: You dildose.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: Big nut 469 in the rest of the boys can go wine about Ryan Day for another offseason.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_03]: But Kurt'signity is either an assassin or sociopath.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: I can't decide.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: He may be both.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Everybody else is talking about how hard this is and how having time off before the, before the game, the month off and how you possibly ever perhaps for that and it's 0 and 6.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: And so now he's just looking at the cameras like this isn't that hard.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, they went now and just and surprised grant me Greg, anybody who follows college football, I think was at least a little surprised by
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: And everyone surprised by the 38.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: You don't want to be right, ninth, and play Kurt Signetti in any situation.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: We've learned that this season, 63 to 10 against Illinois, 38 to 3 against Freakin' Bama.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: And it wasn't, you still there, I think I lost 38 to 3.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: If I mean, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen by about
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: the second drive of the second quarter.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: The first quarter was scoreless, but Indiana was just bulldozing on that 90 some yard drive they had on their second possession.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then when they put points up,
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then they got the, you know, they turned Bama over on that 4,000 stop and went and that right down in scored, it was effectively over at that point.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: Bama's just the, the, the air was out of the balloon at that point and then they just took their soul on that drive before half time to go up 17 to nothing.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Charlie Angerman.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that does the next thing I was going to bring out Charlie Becker was was just unbelievable.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: The throw to him there in the end zone for the first touch down, he had a nice catch on the opening drive as well, or the second drive of the game, I guess, again, outside of the opening drive Indiana plate perfect on offense and all three phases, the online just dominated, like we said, man.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I I just really hope that they can keep the foot on the on the gas here against the Oregon if you don't think Dan landing is it's going to have that Oregon team ready and and I you and them think they can pull a fast one and knock them off the way they did last time and you're crazy because I think that I think landing and then we'll be ready I think it'll be a
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: They could be more of a tighter game than it was from the first time they played each other.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But here's my thing for the preview pod.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: With Indiana and Oregon now coming up for the Peach Bowl, it is now required that Greg and Mike get into the biggest fight possible before that game.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, yeah, we saw it happen the last time so was that the Oregon game I can't remember what game that was.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was a good game.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's been, it's been about 60 days.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're due.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: It'll have.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that, that may have been the mode Joe there was for you guys to get a big fight.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if we could get one of those again, then I really like in the S chances against the ducks.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then we'll do a post game pod like nothing ever happened.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: So just like the last time.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I picked Oregon to win the National Championship going into the tournament.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I can stick with that now.
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, we've gone this far into this podcast and talked about all these different things and how dominant Indiana was and haven't once talked about Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman trophy winning quarterback had more touchdown passes than incompletions today.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: best game played all year probably I think you're right and then he made plays with his legs which is a little frightening for him to take a hit but he absolutely at the right time picked his spots got first downs on on the ground kept the clock running and it was just
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was methodical.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: It was just a surgical performance by both the offense and the defense.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: It looked at times like like the Illinois game, like the Nebraska game last year.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: It just, they completely had an opponent overmatched who had no, and their head was just spinning.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: And it's freaking Alabama that Indiana just did that to you guys.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's the thing is I think this game would have been a, like you said, in Nebraska or Illinois kind of game if Indiana didn't have to have the possession there, their second possession where they ended up with three points where they took about eight minutes off the clock.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it really could have been one of those games if they would have been able to have a quick hit or down the field and go down and score quickly.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: but to win this game the way they did and front of so many I, you fans out there.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Seriously, it sounded like a home game.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you know any members.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the game that when they introduced Alabama, you hear booze, and then I was expecting the same when they introduced Indiana, but it was the practically the whole stadium cheering.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was amazingly more Indiana fans there than Alabama fans by far.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: I have two family members that are out there in Pasadena, my niece and her dad, and they both have said they just can't believe Indiana took over Los Angeles this week, and I've even seen like Bama, Michael Cosa Grande, a famous Bama writer coming out this week and saying he's
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: take over a city quite like Indiana did is it was like just such an authentic like you could tell it was just the excitement level of the fan base to to be where they are and has it's never really happened in any of these people's lifestyles and people are delivering the moment and and good for them and with that said.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_03]: I've already bought tickets for Atlanta as I told Greg and Grant before the fourth quarter-read and ended.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: I already had my tickets bought.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting in the car Thursday and I'm headed to Atlanta.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm I'm I'm super excited to be joining this process.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're excited for you.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It seems as if Indiana's had now at least three moments this year, maybe four,
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: that have been the biggest moment for the athletic department, or the biggest, the best thing that happened for the athletic department sits March of 1987.
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is this arguably surpasses that.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: When in a basketball national championship, the 1987 was was huge and unbelievable for its time.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if this team can now win two more games,
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know the cults want to support you.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know the cults want to super bowl and in this millennium almost 20 years ago, but I think this would arguably be the biggest thing to ever happen to the state as a whole from a sport's perspective.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think it would be bigger than the cults winning the super bowl.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, all the doubters are the, all, all the, uh, 1967 Rose Bowl tri-thers are really close right now.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have to agree.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're starting to come around on maybe Mendoza being a little bit better than Harry Gonsa.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we're not quite sure they need a little more evidence, but
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_03]: They'll start to listen to the conversation suddenly.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, guys, I, I, I, I kind of want to tell a quick story here and it won't take long.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know we don't have much time, but, um, but me broadcasting games appear in in little Marion, Indiana, and the surrounding counties.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a, there's a guy that, uh, also has done the same thing, but he's that for 55 years and he's the longtime voice, the Marion Giants, his name's Jim
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: and Jim's in the Hall of Fame, great dude, and I get to work with him a lot.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: He and I meet about every morning to record a little sports segment for our radio stations.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he's a big sports guy, and is an IU grad but told me the other day, with a straight face,
• 14:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: that the 1967 Rose Bowl team would beat this IU team now by at least three touchdowns.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: At least three touchdowns.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I said, Jim, I said, Jim, if you ever heard a rage baiting, he goes, no.
• 15:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I go, Jim, that has like, like you're only saying this to get a rise out of me.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm serious, I really think that they would beat this team by three touchdowns.
• 15:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he goes, I wouldn't be shocked if Indiana got their ass beat by Alabama.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I said, Jim, aren't you an IE grader?
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, oh, yeah, man, I went there for five years, five years, I went there.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I said, so, why are you thinking to handle get beat?
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think they're that good.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, Jim, they're the number one team in the country.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, more than that, I knew team lost 33 to 7 to Minnesota, which was unranked.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just don't throw that out there.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: But this isn't like, I don't want this to turn into, let's shit on the 67 Rose Bowl team, because I appreciate their contributions to the athletic program.
• 16:01
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: Because this is, we do have to remember one thing.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is a team that is still in some ways largely James Madison University Bloomington.
• 16:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: They took so many guys from the group of five when they came there.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they're dominating SEC teams, there's not a single player on this team that I you that Alabama would have recruited.
• 16:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: So Cicdetti, Cursignetti has to be the best talent evaluator in college football.
• 16:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I don't think I'm overstating what I'm saying when I say that because I look at like Riley Noah Kelsey and who is Riley Noah Kelsey.
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's a guy who played tight end on a
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: didn't really do a whole lot on the offensive side there when he was there, but he comes to Bloomington and now he's one of the best weapons on a in the passing game for a team that's playing in the final four in college football.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: You have a zero star talent in Elijah Serrat, who's probably going to be a third round in a self-draft pig.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_03]: Omar Cooper, a really highly regarded guy that Tom Allen got, but he was still a three star dude, not supposed to be torching DBs for Alabama.
• 17:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: And signetti is just, he's masterful at finding the pieces to his puzzle and putting together a masterpiece.
• 17:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: And this is just,
• 17:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: We've talked so much and so many, you know, you can't overstate this is, and I'm now seeing national media people.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: For the first time, say, look, I've been trying to wait and to say this for years, but it's zig-saving.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: And if that conversation is actually starting to take place now, and it's, it's crazy.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Because two years ago, would we have ever even thought that it was a sentence that
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting question.
• 18:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've started to think about myself to be honest with you because there's so much, there's so much statement in figmetti.
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a guy that had the same path as Nick Saben.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like this guy had the path of being a division to egg coach and having to work your way up.
• 18:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the people who have been with him,
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: and probably the old administrators at IUP and Elon and probably even some of James Madison are probably sitting there tonight like, nah, we're not necessarily really shocked by this because this is what we got with the guy back in 2011, 2012.
• 18:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he still saying some of the same things that he used to say back then, if you go back and really dig and watch.
• 18:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just after watching this tonight and what they did in him in the celebration, getting the roses dumped on him and everything.
• 18:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's honestly like almost hilarious at this point to think that people really sat there and were like, yeah, he's going to go to Penn State.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to go be the head coach at Penn State.
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Or he's going to leave and Kaylin DeBours going to get fired and he's going to go be the coach at Alabama.
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why?
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, hey, guys, that's an area.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's an area of still in play after tonight, Grant.
• 19:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: Let's not get too tired out here.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: Nah.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: on.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: No question.
• 19:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: And everybody's going to want it.
• 19:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're not going into that conversation tonight.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: Tonight we're focusing on the man in the team that just beat the ever living dog poo out of the Alabama team that we're accusing him of potentially going to one day.
• 19:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: So Grant.
• 19:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: You're much younger than me, but we've both been to a lot of really, really, really bad moments in person with a knee and a football.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_03]: I keep going back to the Rutgers game where the student body took all their shirts off because there was nothing else to do with the game because they were so far behind.
• 20:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: You talk about the Idaho game.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: where they could barely be moved the ball against a really crappy FCS team.
• 20:13
  [SPEAKER_03]: There's the Ohio State game in the rain and everything.
• 20:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: So just I was at both of them.
• 20:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: Dude, we just watched Indiana blow out.
• 20:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: Alabama and the Rose Bowl man.
• 20:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, you know what you can't say anymore, Grant?
• 20:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: What?
• 20:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Indiana hasn't won a bowl game since 1991.
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, they have not lost the game since 2024 and it is now 2026.
• 20:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he just wanted to throw that out there too.
• 20:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to have an IE report coming up later in the next few days at the beginning and next week and then a peekful preview.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So beyond the look for beyond the look out for those things because those things are things are going to be here soon.
• 21:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just really, really exciting times.
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mike, do you got any final thoughts before we close this out?
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_03]: The power of the bison t-shirt is back because I was really, really scared.
• 21:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: My homefield bison t-shirt, I lost it last year before the Notre Dame game.
• 21:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: And we know what happened there.
• 21:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: And then I found it.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: I've worn it all season for game day.
• 21:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: They're still undefeated.
• 21:28
  [SPEAKER_03]: And on Tuesday, I went to where I thought it was and it wasn't there.
• 21:33
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I started to freak out.
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: But late Wednesday, sletter of all people, the MVP found my shirt, my dog.
• 21:47
