  SPEAKER_00: Let me ask you one question.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_02: The North Florida is a big thing.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta get a lot of things.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_02: And one of them is Miami.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_02: Got Miami contributor Justin here.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_02: We're gonna preview the tactile championship between Indiana and Miami.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_02: Monday night in Miami.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's a big game.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: The games are actually gonna be wearing their own white for the game.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, I know.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_02: They're the lower speed.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_02: So they're gonna be wearing the that stupid combo that they like to call Stormtrooper or whatever.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, all white, baby.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's been working for them.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't I wouldn't want to wear anything else if I was them.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: I I might just retire every other uniform combo.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta go with what's working.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: Indiana is now what, like nine points?
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_02: Let me check it.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_02: But what do you think, man?
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_02: What's your gut feeling?
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: Gut feeling?
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Miami wins, of course.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah?
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot that's gonna go into that.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Miami actually winning.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I actually one of the things that I think is working in Miami's favor, um, with all the like surrounding noise of the game, is the fact that they are nine points underdogs.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's down to seven and a half.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it's because of all that.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: And people starting to realize that it's just one game and Indiana is a great team.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: They're well coached, and they had familiarity.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_02: But if you look at a one common opponent for me, it's Ohio State.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: They both played them pretty close together in time, one in the Big Ten championship, one in the playoff.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: And they both won, but Ohio State missed a chip shot.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: And Indiana loses that game.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Miami beat Ohio State pretty handily.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: And then, you know, so that that shows me right there it's gonna be there's no it's gonna be a physical war, and it's whoever makes a mistake.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: You know, is Mendoza gonna make that type of pick Ohio State did with a pick six.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I feel like that was that game.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: That was ballgame.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, absolutely, dude.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's what kind of game it's gonna be like.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: So they're not gonna come out and do what they did to Miami to or like what they did to Oregon.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: I think they already knew how to beat Oregon.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: That game was already decided.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: This is gonna be a war.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: You have Miami with that defense and what like the best friends are coaches for both teams, the DC at Miami and the DC at Indiana.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, and Mendoza's dad played high school football.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: So much little like familiarities here.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: This is gonna be there's no there's not gonna really any sneaking up on anybody.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone's gonna be prepared.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um and then it's gonna come down to who makes the big plays.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh man, this sucks.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: Because I think like Miami's gonna win.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I I feel exactly why this spread's coming down a little bit is people are starting to realize, you know, I'm gonna take the points.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh yeah, no.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you I I think you'd be a fool to not take the point uh just on a straight up gambling uh perspective.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: I mean the game opened up at like five, five and a half, and then so much money came pouring in on Indiana, that's what pushed the spread all the way up to eight and a half, nine points.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_02: And and be yeah, they just it's the way they won that that game against Oregon.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they just dominated them.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: So that's just gonna bring I mean anybody but that's the sport that happens.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you see that in every sport.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: And if you come out and you dominate, it's gonna be like, oh my god.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: Look at this powerhouse.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: But you have to look at it, you have to look closer than that.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: And I that's what I I mean what the first thing I looked at was Ohio State game for both teams.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: I I think that's a good judgment of where to what kind of game this is gonna be, and I feel like it's gonna be that kind of game.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_02: No one's gonna get away from either team, and it's gonna come down to who makes the mistake.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, that's exactly what it is, because I mean, if if you look back at the uh the old miss game, yeah, uh if Miami doesn't shoot themselves in the foot over and over that game, it's a blowout.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, drop dropped interceptions, free snap penalties, yeah, and then a bunch of things get that game close.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: And they we gotta we gotta do a similar, it's gotta be a similar strategy uh in this game too, because you gotta keep the ball out of Mendoza's hands.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um because I mean the kid, he he's a really good player.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: They've got the NFL body of the wide receiver.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: He loves those damn back shoulder throws that are like indefensible almost.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he he he just kills people with those back shoulder throws.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: And we just can't let him get comfortable.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: There's actually a imagine on the D-line where in Indiana you're you're gonna have to feel around because uh the Indiana great factors are given up 14 characters a year.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: And just overwhelm that one week fight.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: And just overload it with the best players and go after that one week fight.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: And you give Mendoza shook.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he needed a miracle to beat 10 state.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean this guy lost to this guy lost to Florida State last year.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: Mendoza lost to Miami last year, too, in that miracle comeback that Cam Ward had in the fourth quarter.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was a shootout.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: He was able to put some points on the board for a Cal team, but uh you can get pressure on him, and he doesn't have the escapability that a Trinidad has.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: So I think in that regard it's gonna be on if Miami's offense can make anything happen, I think it's gonna be low scoring.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: And but I I I think Miami's gonna win.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: I really do.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: And I hate it.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: I absolutely hate it.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: I love it.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: They can't even get to the damn ACC championship.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_02: Don't need to.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_02: Don't need to waste the time.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: We don't hang conference championship banners, dude.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: We hang nattties.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you can't because you don't have one, but uh, we got five.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: Not in the ACC.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Zero.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: Well, we're about to have one.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll have that natty banner hanging without an appearance.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Without the ACC.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, well, um Alright, so what how did what happens if Miami loses this game?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, it's gonna be heartbreaking, but I mean, my god, it's still if Miami does lose, um, I mean, it's still a hell of a season for Crystal Ball in the game, man.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: And it just it just sets up moving forward to Crystal Ball to just be rolling in NFL guy after NFL guy.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: He's definitely got the the Miami culture building there very strongly.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: I think both these teams are on the rise.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: I think both these teams, you look at the look at both of them, what they're doing.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: They're going out and getting the best recruit best transfer portals, and they got the backers financially, and they got the right coaches in place to get the recruits there.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: And who knows, man?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_02: You might see it again.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: You can already see it with Miami, the uh the old Miami culture, you know, like Michael Irvin and all the old guys always talk about.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um Mark Fletcher already announced he's coming back for his senior year and was out on the recruiting trail with Crystal Ball after the Texas AM game.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's the kind of culture that Miami's got going right now.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and they need money too.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: Because that's all that matters.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they don't fucking co don't give me that shit.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: Don't give me that culture.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody's going there for that.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: They're going there for money.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: Hey man.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, you want to come here for culture?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: No, here's six and a half million.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_02: Get the fuck out of here.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hear that shit.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not gonna hear that shit.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: Why was the Duke quarterback?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Why was the Duke quarterback at Duke in the first place?
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: For money.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: Money.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: I know, that's what I'm saying.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: That's what it is.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: So it's not you have money now.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: You have money and you've all ever been.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: That's all it's ever been, exactly.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_02: So it's not this culture.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, oh man, I'm going there.
• 10:04
  unknown: Bobby.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: The culture at Florida State had had nothing to do with it.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: It was because of the booster money.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_02: Well, at least it was behind the table, and you could at least not know about it.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: And there were some sort of rules.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: Unless you worked at Dilly.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well, my yeah, Miami wasn't doing any of that either.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody always was.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: Let's let's get out of here.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: Peter Ward's finally in the call hall of fame because he got free clothes from the mall.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: Are you kidding me?
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we're just giving these kids six and a half million now.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_02: And and and now that it's all free on the table, you see where the money who has the money.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: Miami does.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's always been that way.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: We can just give you t-shirts.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_02: Don't give me that shit.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: We don't have culture.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's all we had.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_01: It was all for the money.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_02: It was all for the money.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: All right, this is it.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: It was all for the money.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: You got any more, you got anything else?
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: There is no Miami culture.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: They only made two documentaries about the Miami culture, but yeah, no culture.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: Well, culture, yes.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_02: A culture of that.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_02: Kicking ass and taking names.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Good.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, getting the best players.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: It requires the culture of, you know, it's Miami.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they were good.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not trying to downplay it.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that does matter, but it I'm just saying it doesn't matter any.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_02: There's no team that's getting it because of that.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: They have to have money.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: You have to have money.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_02: This is a this is professional sports.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_02: And no one's gonna go there and be like, oh man, I'm gonna take like less money because did you see Michael Irvin coked up on the sideline?
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: I want to be a part of that.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: No, but if all things are even.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, they're not.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: All things aren't even because you don't have a you don't have a salary cap.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: You can literally wait to the last minute of the transfer portal and just they can't match this deal because I'm just gonna go higher and higher.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: But enjoy the championship, buddy.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: How'd that work out for Jaden Roshada?
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Shuttle.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: We gotta get on out of here.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: Right here.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: Shuttle to nowhere.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: Suttling, settling down, settling down to Miami Garden.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_02: Big game tomorrow.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: Come on, Hoosers.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: Gotta get this win.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: But all uh Carson back, can they get to him?
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: He he can you know throw it away.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: And he has been, really, throughout the whole playoffs.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: I've been waiting for him to make that typical Carson Beck mistake, and he he hasn't yet.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: So that does kind of scare me.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: We'll find out who does.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's like Crystal Ball hasn't crystal balled yet.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean you got to get away.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he hasn't.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's true.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: And you're waiting on Beck to do a Beck, man.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, like both things are very plausible in this game.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: And my God, would that be the most Miami shit ever?
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta get up on Miami.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: Don't let him play from they've been playing with the lead.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: Let's see.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: And if I'm Indiana, get up, get the lead.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_02: Get the lead, make, make Carson Babe.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: All right, we've got to get back.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's when the mistakes come.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: He hasn't had to do that.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: He's always been like, well, we're winning.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have to do this.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: I got my defenses rolling, and that's gonna be the difference.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_02: Who's gonna come out and score first?
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: Is I think really gonna matter.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: You don't want Mark Fledger.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Mark Fledger, Mark Pledger, Mark Fledger.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: All day long.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they should run the ball over and over again.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's all I do.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: I would be full-on crystal ball on this, dude, and I would just run it, run it, run it, run it, and even when they stop it, run it some more.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Oh boy.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_02: One game left in the college football season.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: We're in the middle of the NFL divisional round.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: The Niners got the but he turned the ball over four times.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: You know.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: He's no one to blame but himself for that one.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like the fumble at the end of the half was just.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's just too many mistakes.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: Can't beat a good team with too many mistakes.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: If he would have done that, if he would have made one of those mistakes against Jacksonville, they'd have lost.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_02: So you can't do that.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: We got a bunch of those games and the national championship.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_02: We'll react to it and we'll talk to you next time, right here on the North Florida Sports Network.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta give us a shot.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know what?
