Speaker 2 (01:52):
Good luck. So.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
We also had some games in the NFL Wildcard weekend
on Saturday, Jonas.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
They were good. Go ahead and go out and go
get excited.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
I don't, I just don't understand how the Packers lost
that game.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I don't, I don't get it. I don't. I don't
understand was it a collapse or a great comeback? How
are we described?

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I would say more collapse to that bit of both,
I would say more collapse if I had to pin
it on one. I mean, you need a willing participant
on both sides. And Green Bay it was almost like
the second half started and the Packers were like, oh,
we're still going, and there was just no And even

(02:41):
in saying that there were so many opportunities for them
to put the Bears away, and you know, you miss
a pat you miss a field goal, and offensively that
you know, whatever that final drive was, they just there was,
whether it was clock management, like I it just I
can't even exploane what that was. And I don't even

(03:04):
think Bears fans. They haven't won a playoff game in
fifteen years. I'll say that now, yeah, but they probably
shouldn't have won that game, you know what I mean.
It's just I don't And so that's why the conversation
surrounding Matt Lafleur is was being discussed and being had

(03:25):
before the game, and now it's really being had afterwards.
And Matt Lafleur spoke about his own job security following
the collapse on Saturday night, and you got.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
A year left on your contract and Policy has said
he doesn't like playe duck seasons. Do you expect to
be back next season? Have you guys already started negotiating
that deal.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
Or Yeah, with all the respect to your question, Pete,
now it's not the time for that. I mean, I'm
just hurting for these guys. You know, I can only
think about just what just happened, and there will be
time for that.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
Do you think your team has a confidence that the
leadership of this organization can get more than one to go.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
Yeah, again, with all due respect, Pete, definitely, now's not
the time.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I mean, whatever, it feels like there's going to be
a change there. Like I just that's the vibe I get,
is that there's going to be some sort of a.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
A move made.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
And I don't agree with it, but the way Albert
Breer was discussing it last week that it's a contractual thing,
and you know, he talked about you know, the Falcons
and the Matt Ryan ties and all that stuff. And
now Adam Schefter is trying to you know, tie in
John Harbaugh and his relationship.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's like dude, the body wasn't even cold, and the
schefter's already releasing out like information about Harbaugh, the contract
situation for Lafleur.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean it was pretty immediately after the loss. Is
it warranted? Do you guys feel like it's warranted? I
mean it was a collapse. It was a collapse. But
is it warranted? Like it seems like it's taking that
dealt with a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, but it is. This is the part of the
NFL that I think if you want to, you know,
garnish a greater audience, you have to kind of play
into or lead into, Like the off season of the
NFL is rapidly approaching, even though we're in the best
part of the season. But I think this is also
like the stuff that like it draws in people who

(05:32):
don't just love the sport. Like I could sell this
drama probably to my wife, who'd be more interested in
hearing about, Wait, so what happened? So he might go
where because of who? And then who might replace him
because of his relationship with this? And then oh okay,
Like there's more just non football that may be harder
for people to understand. Drama that's more like a soap

(05:54):
opera that makes it entice into people. So I don't know.
I think some of it's probably warranted because the timing
with Lafleur's contract situation and obviously the availability of Harball.
Our guys won a Super Bowl. That makes a lot
of sense. I'll say this much though everyone wants to
connect the dots with Harbam Stefancy would be a way
better fit up there, and in my opinion, he'd be

(06:17):
a way better fit to be the head coach in
Green Bay, I think than Harbaugh. And I know there's
ties and stuff, and everyone's like, he's got a house
open up, you know, the Upper Peninsula. For those of
you who aren't aware of what that means.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I would have known that, and I still don't even
know what the hell up of peninsula.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Is weird he that it's Mischa Gander would would tell
you what that means. But okay, I just everyone's trying
to connect the dots for Harball in like every place possible.
You know, we did it with the Dolphins people doing
all the packers, well they oh, you interviewed with the
giants and they are the giants. I was like, Okay,
he can't take every job like, we realized that, right,

(06:56):
he can only take one of these, and most of
you says, no, has it. I don't want to go
to any of them. Is there any propaganda connected to this?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I mean, it could be a masterful job of driving
up the value of harball. Right now he is available
to coach a different team. I mean, we do have
to kind of circle back around and come back to
the realization that he was fired.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
He said he was he was fired.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
He said that he's only going to interview with a
few select teams.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So basically Miami, it's Miami, Well Miami.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Look, if green Bay became available, I'm sure he'd be
interested in that. The Giants would be one, and then
which one does he have the better opportunity of winning
right now? Because that's got to be the one that
you'd look at.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm talking about it like it's like the job's open.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
You are really if it were open, I would say
green Bay.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
But I'll be honest with you, the best job on
the market is one that he just left so.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Baltimore that he couldn't get it done with. Yeah, so
maybe they'll hire him back.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I don't know. I just the whole Matt laflor conversation
test a portal.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm declared, I'm going into the portal declaring I will
come back. He's coming back. That would be a first,
wouldn't it. That would be interesting.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
The whole Like the Lafloor stuff, I just I don't
know why he would be. They were riddled with injuries too,
like they lost a lot of key players, and they've
been in contention and been in the conversation for every
year he's been there, outside of maybe one, he's got
one year below five hundred. But I just the fact

(08:43):
that the contract wasn't renewed, that there's been this much
smoke out there, that there's been this much conversation. The
Stefanski thing is interesting because he Stefanski spent years in
that division with the Vikings, so he knows that division.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
He knows there's familiarity there. That would be something. But yeah,
it does.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
It does feel like Lafloor could be on his way out,
which is surprising.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
He sounded beat spent. I mean many they botched that game.
I don't know. I mean he was a part of
the twenty eight to three He was the quarterback coach
of the Falcons. Then were they were what up twenty one.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
And twenty one three, Yeah, twenty one six, twenty one six,
twenty one three at halftime, and it.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Was twenty one six going at the end of the
third quarter. Correct, my god, I mean that is to
me a collapse. All credits of Ben Johnson and Caleb
Williams and the Bears, but if it was switched, Like,
if you were the Bears and you're really being critical
about that performance, you can't think you're gonna be able
to do that again. Even though that being said, they've

(09:49):
kind of done it the entire season, but there's an
element of saying like, yeah, they dropped that game. If
the Bears rubbed twenty one to three and a half,
you know in the third quarter, you'll be seeing ourselves
like we've got this game one, Like if we don't
win this game, it's on us for collapsing because.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
We didn't do the things the right way. Like no debate,
especially no way around that one. That's too many points,
that's too many US three possessions. There's no way if
the game going the way that it was going to
rest like before then that you would be able to
forecast that they could generate that much offense in that

(10:32):
small amount of time, and you had Ben Johnson going
forward on fourth down in crazy situations in the first half,
setting him up with short fields. Then they missed the
field goal at the end of.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
The first half, but Green Bay got the ball first
out of halftime, and it was like a.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Completely different game.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
And look, Dennis Allen and whatever he you know, figured
out or whatever they started doing defensively had an impact,
but it was almost like the Packers had no counter
to the counter, and even defensively, like Jeff Hafley's getting
all this, you know, head coaching love, like defensively they
looked awful down the stretch. And it's the second time
that's happened against your biggest rival, like they gagged away

(11:15):
that game a couple of weeks ago. It just that's
why I think you look at this and Packers fans
almost are kind of bewildered, like what is happening? Why
is this going down the way it's going down? And
then it all coincides with this, you know, the discussion
about you know, Matt Lafleur and and you know how
people feel about him in the building and whether or

(11:36):
not he's going to be back. It's just it's surprising
to see where they're at considering how much success he's had.
But I think people will expected better results. I mean,
that's that's the business though.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I mean, let's be clear here, like like for a moment,
you could feel bad or you could have a little
bit of sympathies towards it, but you get paid big
dollars to have respond have adjustments. They did everything they
were supposed to do. People were feeling really good about
the Green Bay Packers and then you weren't. People were
feeling really really like a Chicago had a great season,

(12:12):
but they're doing what Chicago does. They're having a Chicago moment,
and then they weren't. But again, I think that that's
why you play the games, you know, Q you mentioned
it being a soap opera and certain things that other people,
other fan base people can get a hold of and

(12:32):
be interested in. This is what's most interesting to me.
The playoffs is always the most interesting time of the
year for me. Once it is less games more you
can focus then on. But two, what are the storylines
that come from what takes place in these games? Stars
are born in these games, stars are buried in these games.

(12:55):
People disappear in these games, people pop up in these games.
There's so many different things that happened during during the
playoff season, and when you have a game like this,
it it brings in intense conversations. And Green Bay unfortunately
happened to fall on. You know, the pendulum was was swinging,
and it was swinging their way, and then it swiftly

(13:18):
started swinging in a different direction and it didn't go
their way. And not Now you find yourself in a
production business at at the epicenter of conversations that would
maybe sound like you're going to lose your gig. Just
how it all works, there's no way around it. You

(13:39):
got accepted. Hey, by the way, I'm looking up this
Upper Peninsula. This up your front, say the famous rock there.
Upper Peninsula Longston, Michigan bordering in Wisconsin to its west
and is a distinct, heavily forested region known for its
natural beauty, mining history, and unique culture. So preeze Lower

(14:01):
Peninsula on.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
A great lake. Well, I think what you're missing is
when you have a house up in the up even
though it could be in Michigan, it's close in proximity.
Is that status? Is that up is the up of
status spot Is.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
That like oh yeah, like going to like the hampton
or something like that, like.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
The Midwest Hampton's is how I put it really, if
you're oh, yeah, torch Lake, those areas, Yeah, you go
up there, it's it's really nice, super super nice. I
mean it's more like it's not like yuppie by any means,
but like there are some really really nice places. Yeah, Okay,
Well I don't I don't know that you could put

(14:44):
it in the same breath as Hampton's like that's an
entirely different world. Well it's trust me, it's it's a
that's a whole different world. I don't really think those
are comparable. But okay. Also, I just love how it
becomes part of the conversation like oh, he's got to
play something in the up It's like, oh, okay, of course,

(15:06):
I'm just gonna go with the Packers. Then yeah, it's
all tied together.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
It's also can I make a statement, I think that
there should be a change made if you are and
this should be a new rule going forward. If you
are a double digit favorite on the road in a
playoff game and you don't cover that spread, you should
be eliminated from the playoffs, so Carolina would move forward

(15:36):
or yes, okay, yeah they played.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Or the Bears just get a buy yeah, bye bye, whatever,
like that's.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
The I can't figure out the Rams, man, I really can't,
because I think the Rams are the best team in
the NFC.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
They almost got clipped.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
And and there's times where they go through these stretches
and they're awful, like and you could go through all
these games that they had this year where like that,
I think Thursday night game against the Niners at home
where they just completely melted down like that, that was
just a terrible game. They were a big favorite in
that game. Like you just go through some of these
games they've lost. They almost lost that.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Gad to Carolina almost.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
What do we how Carolina is closer to being good.
They're closer to being good than they are to being bad.
I said that when we were making our picks, like
they're closer to being good than they are to being bad.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
And that explained to That explains a lot for LeVar
this week. Oh you were on fire, dude, was on Yeah.
I do want to hear the results of sticks. Tell
yeah you missed every single one so far. Here you go.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, I was about to say I didn't think. I
didn't think I was because I picked Carolina's messed up man,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
I was okay with my picks. I tried to play
this a little bit like more drama there was, but
the day I love about Levares. He cares to a degree,
but not too much where he doesn't really remember what
he picked. I don't, so he was for a second
he was like I did, like, oh, there's a glimmer
of hope.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Oh I did the best though is Jonas was gloating
at one point because he wasn't the lead until last night,
and that's that's kind of unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
This is my nightmare.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Yeah, I got smoked those final two games last night.
I thought, for like, Philly was the game I felt
most confident about. It was that the man the Niners
or or bank Habs Seattle finish.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
But I said it when we all picked it, the
Kiss of Death. We all picked Philly to cover, and
of course the foot just went out right. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
I was on the right side of my bets. It's
just teams one on the right side of the way
they played.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I'm with you. That's the story. Of my life.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah, that was bad the charge I took the Chargers
over to Patriots.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
You're getting three and a half points. Yeah, I wouldn't
figured the Pats were going to win. But I'm not
sure Justin Herbert is gonna be That's could have won,
just not by you know, four points or more. I'm
not sure Justin Herbert is gonna I took points on
that one. Yeah, I'm with you on that, by the way,

(18:21):
But but their offense allowed to be healthier next year.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
I hope so, because I don't think he's gonna last
much longer. If that's if that's the way, this is.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Who Herbert all my day. It could have lasted his
spirit and his soul.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I saw his spirit and soul start to fly away
up and started to leave the stadium, and then it
came back, and then you can yeah, he came back
to life, but his he was dead on that field
for a moment.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
It looked like the movie Ghost where Patrick's Crayzy's on
the street.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Next thing you know, he's overlooked.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
He's like like the ghost of Justin Herbert was still
in the play. He was about like go downfield and
go through a continuous progression.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Justin Herbert standing over, Justin Herbert going.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Hey, buddy, with trow with your hand, he torched brow.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
I ain't never seen no By get hit like that.
I ain't never seen no By get like that. That
was crazy. That man's body, that just was lifeless for
a moment. Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
But you know you lose your uh your You're highly
drafted and compensated one of them already compensated tackles, and
you know your running game has been inconsistent at best
all year.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
And it's like he just had no chance.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
And I don't know why I thought that, you know,
they'll keep it close with that offensive line. I don't
know why I thought that would be the case, but
that was. And then look, Harbad turned down the chance
for three points early on, probably thinking don't worry, we'll
get We'll get plenty of opportunities there. And then they
just couldn't figure anything out.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
That was rough.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
So some of these games were a little bro I'm
telling you. The same Frand Eagles game was the roughest
one to watch. It was the roughest one.

Speaker 7 (20:09):
Man.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
It just didn't make any sense. It just didn't just
didn't make it just didn't make any sense. It just
didn't Why they dropping all these balls? Why they beefen?
Why is the defense not doing more? Why isn't the
offense doing more? Why aren't they doing more? That damn
wind they hit the White Boys for a double pass.

(20:32):
I knew it was a rap. You get you get
what you mean? There was no discipline. Wait, so you're
saying they're the last line of defense and discipline. Once
you fool the White Boys on double pass.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
A rap, you have no chance. You had no chance.
I knew, I knew. We were sure. Yeah, I always
wondered what was going through. Uh. Some of my teammates
heads as as like a trick play gets running, our
our safety gets beat. They're like, oh gosh, are they
just like, oh well, we expected that to happen. They

(21:06):
more like he got beat on that. Damn you can't
step out. I know he was. I know Cass was
sitting there like he bit on that, like.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Just stay over top, you know you you should have
stayed over top. Come on, that's McCaffrey running past you,
man like you saw your brother and run right patch
You like you don't come down to try to make
the tackle on that. You gotta get he's running too fast,
he's running too hard. Why are you gonna let him
just run?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Right? Patch? Do you like that? You gotta smell the
rat on that one. I'm joking.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
I'm joking, of course, been funny, but I'm just saying, yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Know I did. I do recall one of one of
my teammates, I not there, Dame. We played on High
State in the festival. They ran a play action and
I think it was uh, I don't know if it
was san Antonio Holmes or who of us was Ted
Ginn but one of them as he kind of like,
you know, he like, you know, he made it look
like he was running a post and then he just
got vertical off of it. But he kind of made

(22:09):
it look like he was like stock blocking him for
a second. But as he like kind of cut in
and then he kind of started to like release up upfield,
he goes, peace, bitch.

Speaker 8 (22:24):
I just think myself, damn them like a good ten
to fifteen day on that. And I looked back and go, oh, yeah, okay,
I see what happened.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
I see what happened. Because, like you know, when you're
on offense, you're not really always watching what's happening on
the field for the defense. So you like sometimes like
we're so immersed and like looking at things and talking
to the what we're doing next drive, you're not seeing
seeing as much. And so when someone told me the
story after the game, I was like, well, how bad

(22:55):
was it? I went back watched the film. I go damn.
I mean, dude, there was there was maybe a first
down and a half between ten and like our next
closest defender. I was like, I was like, okay, yep, ye.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
All right, one one quick observation while we're you know,
talking about other things. There were a lot of fingers
hit in the games yesterday, the biggest one I felt
in terms of altering the way they played with Stafford.
Do you guys think he'll be okay come this next game?

(23:34):
Like like was that is that a shake off able
deal or is it? Or did he really really injure
one of his fingers? And when he did that, they
said X rays came back negative. What that don't mean
it ain't that don't mean he ain't jacket up.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I don't care. I mean, it's just he's it depends
on if it's negative, like he should be okay, But
and he's got time. I would be more concerned if
it was a younger quarterback who hasn't been in the playoffs,
you know, or has very limited experience.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
So you wouldn't be more concerned that he's getting older
and injuries like that don't heal as quickly as they
did when you are younger.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Well, if it's on your fingers, it's not gonna heal
that fast anyway, because because it's an extremity and those
don't there's not as a lot of blood flow to
your fingers, so they don't. They don't heal as fast,
you know as you know, like foot, ankle, you know, wrist,
hand like, it doesn't heal as fast anyway, So it's
going to be cold. I'm more. I'm more, I guess

(24:32):
optimistic because if there's no structural damage, which I don't
think there is based on their initial report, he should
be okay. They can probably get it feeling better by then.
I'll be curious to see if it'll wear a glove
type thing if there, if grip's an issue, I think
that'd be the first thing i'd look for if he
if he's out there thrown with a glove on then yeah,
it's cold, but like grip could be an issue, and

(24:53):
that might be one of the things that he's he's
doing to overcome some of the pain that he's dealing with.

Speaker 3 (25:00):

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yeah, it's two pros and a cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. Coming up next, though, we are
going to get into something that seems almost improbable in
the world of football, and it's yours right here on FSR.
But thanks to Home Serve for sponsoring this show. Look,
owning a home is amazing until it's not. One minute
you're sipping coffee, the next your ankle deep in water

(26:17):
from a burst pipe. Repairs don't care about timing, and
they definitely don't care about your budget. You protect your health,
your car, even your phone, but what about your home.
It's probably your biggest investment, and when things go wrong,
the cost can hit hard and fast, and that's where
home Serve comes in. Regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover
a lot of the day to day wear and tear,
plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues. You're often on your

(26:39):
own for those, and that's where home Serve comes in.
It's like a subscription for your home for as little
as four ninety nine a month. They've got your back.
Repairs hit fast, and they hit hard. You could be
searching for a contractor in a panic, or you could
already be on the phone with Home Serves twenty four
to seven hotline scheduling a repair.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
It's super simple.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Choose a plan for your needs and budget, and when
something on your plane goes wrong, just call their twenty
four to seven hotline to start the repair process. They've
helped homeowners like you for over twenty years with a
trusted national network of twenty six hundred local contractors with
four point five million customers, a four point eight out
of five post repair rating, and a plus BBB rating.

(27:17):
They're the real deal. Look, I use home Serve and
you should too. Help protect your home systems and your
wallet with home Serve against covered Repairs. Plans started just
four ninety nine a month. Go to HomeServe dot com
to find the plan that's right for you. That's HomeServe
dot com, not available everywhere. Most plans range between four
ninety nine to eleven ninety nine a month. Your first

(27:38):
year terms apply on covered repairs.

we can't share everything with the audience. But it was
really good. Man.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Well, just like we congratulations at Carry Rhoads and Andy Furman.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Wo, they're they're at the top, top at the bottom,
no top for what? Okay, so let's get into it.
Let's do it. How the hell is Indiana beating these
teams the way they're beating them.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
I don't get it, My god, I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
They got the question and if Dan Landing is on drugs,
well they beat the brakes off them so bad?

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Can I tell you what, I honest to god, my
thought was watching them against Oregon. I swear to god,
I thought there's got to be a catch, like there's
either some sort of this is AI, this is like
there's something going on here, because it doesn't make sense
that they're beating teams the way.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
That they're beating not a mercy rule bro against Oregon. Yes, Now,
now here's the hard part is there's two ways of
looking at this. I think for IU fans, there's no
doubt your team has played phenomenal wire to wire. There
has been no letdown. There might have been games where

(31:14):
things were close, like Iowa was one kind of a
tight game, you know, in Notts and they had to
come back. We had them, We had literally there you
go and stayed at them. We had you know, they
make the plays down the stretch. So there's a there's
some people out there who like floating this conspiracy theory,
and I'll just I'll address this because this is what happens.

(31:36):
I think when you see a team that's so dominant
or beating teams and changing narratives right like they're the
only team that's gotten a buy in the playoff in
the last two years, they expanded that has moved on,
that has won and moved on. So they changed that
in narative because everyone's like, well, if you get a buy,
it's not to your advantage, you know, it's you don't
want to buy. Well, Indiana changed that, and then if

(31:58):
you looked at the rematch, is at least of the
power of four teams, not you know, Old miss playing
Tulane again, but again Alabama, you know, and their rematch
earlier like like they you know they lost to George,
they beat Georgia, or excuse me, they beat George and
the regular season Georgia beat them in the SEC championship game.
You go through the one like down the line of

(32:20):
Oklahoma Alabama. Alabama lost to Oklahoma, they beat them in
the first round. Uh, And then you kind of you
move on throughout like every rematch, the team that lost
the prior game won, And in this case, Oregon Indiana
played each other rematch, Indiana just beat them even worse,
ben worse. And I thought this Oregon team had gotten better.
Now now, look, when you start the game on a

(32:42):
pick six and you spot Indiana seven points, that doesn't
help you know, when you're throwing an RPO and try
to throw a screen on the outside and the ball
hits the running back. You know, that's not like any
conspiracy theory. That's just poor play from our sloppy play
from Morgan. I mean, that's fourteen points right there. You
essentially gave an Indiana team that was already favorite of

(33:06):
the number one team undefeated, So there really didn't need
to be And by the way, the fans for IU
have shown out and supported them wherever they have been
this year. They are ecstatic, they're wild, and that stadium
was probably ninety ten at worst eighty twenty, which is correct.
It felt like a home game, and they have the

(33:28):
largest living alumni base in the country if any school.
I mean, fact check it all you want. Like they're
showing out right now. The only thing that's going to
hurt them now in the National Championship Game is the
fact that it's a home game for Miami Hurricanes. So
we'll see how much ticket access they get because the
prices are astronomical. But I will say this, you know,

(33:51):
if you're an IU fan, you've been waiting for this
for generations. Not just this is like a once in
a lifetime, This is generations that have not seen them
have this measure of success in football, so maybe it's
worth the price of the ticket. But the conspiracy theory
is this, and it's being floated around by some people
and let me I'll lay out, so take with it

(34:15):
what you will. For is it odd that they've now
had four games this season where the first or second
play of the game for them defensively has been a
pick six? That seems like rather than probable? Yeah that is.
It might be five, It might be five for all
for all I know, but it's like four or five

(34:36):
games where they've like literally had a pick six in
the first or second player of the game. So there's
a thought or idea, And this was floated out on
social media, which you know, it might be some coaches
leaking this stuff out because they've got someone on their
defensive staff that has like a cyber intelligence background, which
I have no idea what that means, like what role
that's going to play, But they feel like there's the

(34:56):
potential that there's some cloud hacking that could be going on,
so they're hacking into their game plan, their prep. There's
people who have said that they're hacking into their microphone system.
So they know what play is coming, so they're able
to connect that in with like wearable tech. There's all
sorts of like little theories on this. I just say, like, look,

(35:19):
they're beating the crap out of teams. I think have
the Heisman Trophy winner. He's playing like the Heisman Trophy
winner every single game. I don't know that we need
to read more into it, but I don't know. You
tell me, var is it improbable the way they have
been able to turn this thing around so fast and
in the manner in which they're doing so Like, do
you think there's an edge? There's something else that they're

(35:40):
doing that everyone else hasn't caught up with yet.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Mean, whatever it is, it's possible that they're doing something differently.
They're clearly doing something differently because they are better than
everybody else. They are better, and they've even had to
deal with you know, starters going down due to injury.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I mean, I.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Say this, if you're talking about the first scripted drive
and it led to you know, getting points, I could
see that if somebody wants to throw that out there,
that you were able to get a competitive edge through
you know, hacking or whatever. But I mean once you

(36:26):
get out of that scripted part of the game. I
don't you could, we could turn off to you an't
even guys, I don't feel I'll say this, it really
comes down to in that Oregon game, especially your one
game away from the national title game. They had a

(36:47):
disappointing departure last year versus Ohio State after having such
a fine regular season organ that is, and that game,
I think it just came down to execution and winning
your matchups, and they were able to consistently have an

(37:11):
answer to what organ was trying to do, and Orgon
consistently did not have an answer.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
If we want to.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Blame that on cheating, I guess if it makes those
people who are saying it feel better live in it,
if that's what you want to live in. But I
got to tell you, it looks like superior preparation. It
looks like maturity and leadership, and it looks like a

(37:38):
bunch of guys that love playing for one another and
with one another. As far as the coaches are concerned
as well, I just think that it's a complete team.
It's one of those magical teams, and you got to
deal with it. But I'll say that about Miami too.
Seems like a magical team a magical year.

the FSR IR report.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
All right, who's got it? Who got it? Something? Anybody
fire off me. I'll easily file this one off. So
my my daughter's basketball team, they were like six and oh.

Speaker 9 (40:37):
I think seven to oz and they got their ass
what oh no, I mean it was a I mean
I was frustrated as a parent, and then it turned
from frustration into.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Just complete defeat and then into embarrassment. Like I was
just like I really didn't have much to say to
my daughter outside of I was like, you should be
embarrassed about what y'all just put on on display. So
I know you're young, but like I'm just being honest,
Like that was embarrassing. And the next game they came back,

(41:13):
they played a little better, but they lost their first
two games. But that first one, bro, it was bad.
And the worst problem was is they played a team
they had already beat but they I guess they didn't
have this one little girl, and man, she was a
little baller, like she was crossing girls over, just taking

(41:34):
them right to the rim. I was just I was
watching pone like, oh okay, yeah, that girl's gonna be
a star one day, like or she's she at least
is on the track to being one of those girls
you're gonna talk about at one point playing in college
or something. Because she was legit like getting baseline jumpers.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
On your daughters team, no playing, and they didn't have
her the first time around.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
They didn't have the first time around. It was like
I guess they beat them in close game because they
had one other girl who was really tall, and that girl,
uh it was was just a monster.

Speaker 10 (42:05):
On the boards. There's like nothing you could do. And
I was just like, just foul, just fouler. You got
five to get him. I'm trying to give him like
I'm trying to give them the old dad tricks. I'm like,
all right, here's what we got to start doing. These
girls can't shoot free throws.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
We kinda we gotta get them to the free throw
line because otherwise they're gonna kill us, like shooting let
up salted man.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
These Notre Dame people at their kids' sporting events is
real dicey at times.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Oh here we go, what here we go? What I'm
just saying doing Bar's work, saying like he was the
one that got a costa.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
I mean, Notre Dame legends at their kids sporting event.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I don't know. I wouldn't have been surprised, That's all
I'm gonna say. I didn't do it. I didn't do it,
But I didn't attack anyone with an oxygen tank last night,
all right. I didn't have no police reports drawing up
on me. Yeah. Which version of him did they get? Right?
They got the original version. By the ways, they don't

(43:08):
called Delta that ask how that lady is doing? Hey,
how are you gonna look that different? That's crazy.
