Rob and Kelvin argue whether or not football fans should be rooting for the upstart Indiana Hoosiers to win the College Football Playoff national championship this season, and tell us why they would rather start a 70% version of Lamar Jackson in a must-win game against the Pittsburgh Steelers than backup quarterback Snoop Huntley.

I want to thank you for wash History month myself.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, well they didn't say he wasn't doing. I'm just
gonna tell you everything he had going on.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
All right, quick update right now at halftime Miami and
Ohio State. The Canes man up the U fourteen nothing
against the defending check.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I'm gonna tell you something. I gotta be honest. The
way that they dominated. They don't lead by enough like
that like a great point.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm like, they dominated this first half right because Miami
also fumbled in the red zone and they're only up
by two scores. You get the ball the second half,
you score, and it's a it's a game like that's
how quickly it turns around. But I'm sure you're happy
to have a lead. But they dominated this.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
They have.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
But they've been dominating everybody Defensively.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
I don't think they gave up more than twenty four
points all season or something like that. I mean they defensively,
they've been incredible. Uh And it's one of those things
you got to see the old too much celebrate irving.
But that's the thing they've been able to hang their
hat on say look we got to shot. We talk
all the time defenses keep you in the game. Go
see the Houston Texas for that. This is one of
those games. If you look at the box score, you
might be deceived. You see total yards and Miami only
(09:02):
has eleven more total yards than Ohio States.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Don't feel like you got the pig six is one.
Ohio State is only one for six on third down.
That's huge, that's big. And then this is the big one.
This to your point, Rob dominating the game, Miami time
of possession almost double what Ohio.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
This is what I'm saying, Like, that's what it feels
like just watching the game.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
You know, their their punter had a couple of nights
they were able to get Ohio State down in like
the two or three too to keep you, you know,
keep them in their own side of the field too.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All right, hey, speaking of go ahead sticking in college football,
this is college football Eve Day weekend, however you.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Want to call it, college football playoffs in full effect.
And tomorrow afternoon, big game We're going to talk about,
especially on the Herd tomorrow morning. Shameless plug, Rob Parker,
carry Roads.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That's right, Cam, wait tomorrow you producing? Yes, sir, I
ain't you double.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I was about to say, let me check your forehead
talk about double producer. Yeah right, you guy. You think
I told you I from the grind.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, He's like, what I could do the show I
could be get be done by now?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah? Oh yeah yeah, I'm out all right.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
So a big game, of course, Indiana, undefeated team, number
one team in the land taking on Alabama, the Crimson Tide,
the mystique that is Nick Saban and Bear Bryan, all
those folks. Big game and surprisingly, even though it's Alabama
and the brand name the Coca Cola Football Indiana according
(10:30):
to bet MGM Lamar Mitchell, friend of the Show, seven
and a half point favorite in that game.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I'm gonna say this, Calvin, and I'm not even gonna
mince word. I'm rooting against Indiana. I'm rooting against this
fraudulent underdog story that has been painted for Indiana. And
here's the reason why why, Cause they're not This is
not a real like, oh my god, Indiana is in
(10:59):
a big college football game. They don't have any history.
They're a basketball school, right, no history. You know that
even in the Big Ten all these years. Look at
how much money they spent for players. Two million for
their quarterback alone, right, rob g two million for their quarterback.
They use the transfer portal for getting players and they've paid.
(11:21):
They're in the top half, top part, top ten of
money spent on their program. It's not underdogs. They should
be where they are.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They've been able to accumulate players, good players from the portal,
paid for other players, good players to add to their team.
And that's why they're coaching just his second year. He
didn't have enough time to change the culture. He changed
the money clip. That's what's changed.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So it's not the little engine that couldn't you know,
like looking at Indiana, going, oh, what.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
A great story. Indiana.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
They're gonna beat the big bad wolves of Alabama and
these other schools.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
No, they're a big bad wolf. They're in that realm. Now.
That's why it's not to me a classic underdog.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
When you could rally behind Indiana, I'm sorry, I'm rooting
against Indiana.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Man, if you don't stop it, you just said it.
Indiana is known for basketball. He ain't nobody thought of
Indiana football ever in their life. And the fact that
he's been able to do this now, winning twenty three
Believe games in two years. Secnaty is doing something amazing. Rob,
he ain't doing nothing. The you the U Miami University
hasn't been quite what they used to be back in
(12:40):
the eighties, nineties and the two thousands. Right, you got Texas, Oh,
we got arch Manny rank number one, You got Sarking
that office that they ain't did nothing like you thought.
Usc they got Cayleb Williams and Ry Lincoln. Right, they
haven't even done anything. I could go on and on
and on. We talk about James Franklin Penn State, good
but not able to get over the hump. And now
(13:01):
he's got a chance to win a national title in
two years. And mind you, he brought James Madison players
thirty plus transfers and some most of them were from
James Madison. He didn't get all of these massive, big
time transfers from of the those big schools. He got
a lot of them for the schools that he was
at at James Madison. So what he's been able to
do in a short amount of time is remarkable when
(13:21):
you think of the schools that have been able to
do this for decades. And haven't had this kind of success.
So I definitely give him credit. Definitely think is amazing
what he's done. And you, my friend, have sat next
to me and we've talked about it. We said, nothing's changed.
It's the same blue bloods. Until I see as out
of the blue random school win, then nothing changed. You're
about to get it with Indiana if they win.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
No, but they're not. They weren't.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Like they don't have the players, or they haven't spent
the money.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No, it's not the same, but that.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Will never happen because that basketball has a greater chance
in football.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
They're not an an underdog on also ran or they
have a or like when you looking at some sports,
you go, it's unbelievable the Mets and Yankees and Dodgers
have these payrolls, and uh, poor little Arizona the city
or Kansas City wins the World Series? Do you like, Like,
that's one where you can really look at it and go,
it's unbelievable what they've did with so much less. All
(14:17):
I'm saying is Indiana's in the top ten. They should
be competing with the big boys because of the money spent.
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
I'm just saying so many other schools have spent money.
Just like you mentioned in baseball, they stand a bunch
of money.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
They automatically mean that you're gonna win. But to act
like there are some underdog then not another.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
They have no history.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
But I'd give you if Missouri or some other teams
that you know, they've had. Sorry, they've been good from
time to twur here they popped up on the radar
here again, you know in North Carolina State they've popped
Indiana ain't never been nothing, one of the worst football
programs in the country, and now to be good for
two years and specifically this year where they got a
chance to compete for a championship. Come on, Rob, is
(15:00):
a underdog story, all right?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

Robin Is. We've been having fun day, having fun, and
we kind of agreed on some things.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Not this.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
You're calling Indiana fraudulent. I'm saying this has been amazing,
the run that they've been on the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
What's say you? Eight seven seven ninety nine one, And
let me give you some numbers.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Indiana coaching and support staff makes twenty million dollars a
year combined. Okay, they have spent more money in football
every year since twenty twenty one. Last season they spent
over sixty one million, which is more than the average
(17:44):
Big Big ten spending amount. They reportedly spent even more
this year, but the numbers on and yet and they're
receiving millions from more Cuban. That's all I'm saying is like,
this isn't Oh my god, I can't believe. What are
they doing? How would they winning? It's just because you
ain't the culture. No, they have big time players.
Speaker 2 (18:03):

Beckham saying it's hard to live on one hundred million dollars.

some money. They haven't been relevant football since I was

thirteen years old, which is like nineteen sixty nine. Nineteen
chepany dead coach called out the whole program, saying, hey,
y'all gotta do better. I'm creating Missolotis.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Real quick?
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (21:07):
All right, all right. I've been watching Rob for years
and for years, Tom Brady used to make Rob Parker
look like a full his his win rate was super low,
and it made me smile every time as much as
I love you vote. But then Tom Brady retired and
ever since then, Rob Parker's football takes are on fire.
(21:29):
He is shooting eighty percent and I don't like it.
And Kelvin, you were supposed to come in and bring
back that Tom Brady energy to Rob Parker's life, and
it isn't happening. He is still on fire. Now.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I tell you what.
Speaker 11 (21:41):
I love it you the trash Tuesdays because you shouldn't
let Rob keep doing this on football.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So here.

I give to Calvin.
Speaker 2 (21:49):

And I'm telling you your Tiger Woods stories something telling
you do they fight then have sex.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Or his order?
Speaker 6 (25:51):
That's important, it's the opposite. It's just because it was
like saying that he's like I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
No he did that. You're not gonna spend some time
with me.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
It's just it's it's the fight before the sex. No,

a little bit more diner.
Speaker 7 (26:40):

Fox Sports Radio Hot Couple, Rob Parker Kelvin Washington, Wor's
your Wednesday, last one of the twenty twenty five year.
Thank you, thank rocking with us, Thank you for the calls,
thank you for the last, thank you for the disagreement,
thank you for it all. We're just appreciative if you're
listening to us, engaging, and it means a lot to us.
I think I speak for Rob and the whole crew
(28:11):
when I say that, So we appreciate you. We don't
take you for granted at all. And thank you for
rocking with your boys all twenty twenty five and we're
just getting started to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
On the way, all right, Rob Ga, the game real quick.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Ohio State scored fourteen to seven, Miami up with eight
left in the third.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Plenty of time.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
It's a long You and I were talking off the air.
You had said it earlier on the air, but we
kept the conversation going. And just if you're Miami, you
wanted to maybe just be up seventeen nothing. You know,
you gotta get some points here because the extra those extra.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Points are crucial.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Man, being up three scores, even if it's just seventeen,
it's different, especially in the defensive game of your defense
is playing very well, so points definitely matter. If you're Miami,
you want to get it, even if it's a field goal.
Just just get it back to a two score game.
Manti had mentioned that Lamar practiced today. Lamar Jackson practice.
We know he has been nicked up. He's been this
(29:06):
whole Season's been in and out. Rob g in a
lot of speculation because Harbo has not said who the
starter will be thus far.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
No, he has not, And in fact, you have a
wide spectrum of NFL analyst, former players, and so on
and so forth trying to debate who should actually start
this must win game on Sunday night. On one hand,
Stoop Hunley looked fantastic and that way last week the
must have got to have it win against Green Bay
on the road at lambeau Field, and Lamar Jackson, to
(29:37):
put it lightly, has been uneven. This season started off
like Gangbusters, came back from the injury, looked really sluggish,
and then once he finally started to find his footing
there in week sixteen, he got hurt right away and
he couldn't reportedly couldn't even move. That's why he missed
last week's game, and he came back and practiced on Wednesday.
We don't know how much of a practice he got in.
We don't know how fluid he looked, only that he
(29:59):
had a massive flack jacket around his midsection protecting his back.
So the question is you start a very healthy snoop
pun leader backup quarterback, or do you take we'll call
it a seventy percent version of Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I'm taking seventy percent of Lamar I think most importantly, Rob,
I think you might feel me on this.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I think he's earned it.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
You know, if he gives me the look and says, coach,
I'm ready to go, then I have to just believe him.
This is a do or die game. They win, they're
in the postseason, and then at that point everything zero zero, Right,
it's the new It's a tournament you get in you
never know. And yes, it's been up and down season,
Yes it's been rough. Yes it hasn't been the season
you'd hope for. But if you get in you got
a chance. And if Lamar Jackson tells me coach, I'm ready,
(30:42):
let's put everything behind us, let's get in here and
let's run the football, because I do believe that is
gonna be key a key element to their success.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Running.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Derick Henry and obviously Lamar are making plays here there
when he needed, as he's been doing his whole career,
and that also matters to me. He's earned this. He's
been a multiple MVP, He's been incredible. His winning percentage
is like seventy two percent of his games. He has
been everything that franchise could have ever hoped for in
a quarterback in the six or seven years he's been
in the league. And I absolutely believe he earned He
(31:13):
has earned that chance to say, hey man, let me
go out there and win. It's a game and get
us in the posts.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Unless he's hurt, unless bad, if he can't play, then
I'm against it. Like if he's really hurt and you
go out there and you're hurting your team by playing.
But if he's seventy percent, seventy whatever, he's still going
to be better than anybody else you tried out there.
I don't care what game, and I could live with that.
If you put Lamar out there and you still lost,
I could live with that. If you didn't play him
(31:41):
and you lose, you go, We'll go to second guess yourself.
I do remember this, and I'm just I know it's
kind of apples and oranges, but I remember when the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You might remember this.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
We're playing the Cardinals in the World Series in two
thousand and six. Kenny Rodgers was the left handed pitcher,
had an unbelievable postseason. But he pitches better at home
than he does on the road.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Just the fact.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Jim Lee Linn, the managers now in the Hall of Fame. Yep,
the Tigers were in a must win situation. He held
Kenny Rodgers to pitch Game seven in Detroit and didn't
pitch him in Game six in Saint Louis.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Guess what happened. The series was over in six game
s Aggress a good example, do you know what I'm saying? Like, Yeah,
I know he ain't the greatest on the on the road,
but dang it, he's our guy.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
He's our guy.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I don't know if so the season ended without Kenny
Rodgers pitching. Again, you can't do that same thing. If
your season's gonna end, Lamar has to be in there,
and it has to end with Lamar, and then chalk
it up as it wasn't our year.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We had a bad year. When we blew that first
game and we had forty points in Buffalo, that was
a sign of that this wasn't gonna be our yeame.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
And Lamar has been banged up and he's been hurt,
and you know, listen, I believe that at some point
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will be good again. They're
I'm not saying they're winning five super Bowls. My point
is I believe Lamar Jackson healthy, gets right, the team's right,
like you'll be fine. Nobody has these amazing seasons every
single year of their career. Right, there's ups and down
talking about Tom Brady not winning for nine full seasons.
(33:19):
So the idea that like, yo, if you had a
rough year, that this year has been even if they
get into post, he's still been a rough year. But
you can hopefully cleanse your palateque, can wipe your hands
clean and say we're in but it's been a rough year.
But that's the guy. If he looks at me I
can pick them, but I can't to win that game
or yeah, to win that game. They have been so
bad all year it's hard for me. I'm dead serious,
(33:42):
like like not just Lamar fumbles, you know what I'm saying,
something only something like forty points. Their defense gives up
like I'm Mark Andrews. I know was last year, but
my point is.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Just you know what I'm saying, Like it just it
just seemed like something's over. They're never in sync at
the right time is the issue I agree with.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And we haven't had a full like a full game
from them to me, like Willie, all right, last call time,
let's do this is the last.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That's right, Thanks d C. Shout out to d C.
All right, Sammy in Orlando. Wow, you're there on a
couple of Fox Sports Radio and you are the last call.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I just want to say, if you go to waffle
house and the cook is not outside smoking a cigarette,
it's not the it's not the.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Waffle house experience. That ain't a real waffle house. You're right.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
And and those things on your pancakes those are ashes.
I'm just trying to right chocolate flavor. Hey, he hay, lying.
That's like my rob g. You know I've told you.
Thanks Sammy, if the people barbecuing for me, if he
ain't have a little fat back on.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
His arm, Nah, you gotta fat back? Oh yeah, arm? Yeah, Alex,
I'm sorry. You can't. You too? You built like a DNAs.
You can't. You can't.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
That's not cool. I'm just saying, why not. I don't know,
I'm body shaming. I guess you gotta be.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Gee, where are you.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
When I go to Mexican restaurants? If it has like
higher than to be in the window Ironstein?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Really? All right?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
I'm with you, except there's a few like Javier, but
that's not real Mexican.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Yeah, that's what he's talking about.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
What I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
See the way the pounced on you Mexican.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I respect it because you know I'll be the first
tell you about some real somebody walked in here with
a punkin pie me and robill throw you out already.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Tell what is that restaurant that I don't go to?
Speaker 10 (35:43):
Is?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Name which one?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
There's a few, there's so many on your list, you loco?
Panda Express?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
What else? What else don't you like? I'm going to
Panda Express and they are black people working behind the counter.
I don't know. You want five more years? For five
more years, we're not gonna.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
Make it's a bad thing.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Rob. His point is you would want maybe ethnically to
fix I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Know what what I'm just saying.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
You got to go into a hole in the wall
Chinese food place.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
All right, if you want to. If you are to
the hole in the wall and drawn was like, y'are
welcome to us? Such and such?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Would you would you be like you would not be eating?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
My first should be how did you get here?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, you can't say it sounded crazy? What you mean?
You're right?
Speaker 6 (36:33):
The mom the mom and pop joints. You do need somebody.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
And there is a real hack.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
This has been proven on a lot of social media outlets.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
If you go to an authentic Asian restaurant, people be like, oh,
I want to order this, this this is and if
they tell you stop no, because they only cook one
at a time.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
That's how you know that it's a real authentic place.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
Stop because allegedly if you go to Asia and like
real that's how they cooked they cooked the meals.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
If you order your meal, then I'm gonna cook Rob's meal.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
It's not a big.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Potting seven different things. If they don't tell you to stop, no,
we're not too much food, then it's the wrong place
to be at.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
That's what I feel about that.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Nobody got time for that.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I'm hungry.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Come on, hey, Happy new Year. Every new year, y'all,
New year, y'all, wonderful, wonderful year looking forward to Yeah,
twenty twenty six, that's right. We all gonna get healthy
and get fit and go eat something and I mean

I want to thank you for wash History month myself.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, well they didn't say he wasn't doing. I'm just
gonna tell you everything he had going on.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
All right, quick update right now at halftime Miami and
Ohio State. The Canes man up the U fourteen nothing
against the defending check.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I'm gonna tell you something. I gotta be honest. The
way that they dominated. They don't lead by enough like
that like a great point.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm like, they dominated this first half right because Miami
also fumbled in the red zone and they're only up
by two scores. You get the ball the second half,
you score, and it's a it's a game like that's
how quickly it turns around. But I'm sure you're happy
to have a lead. But they dominated this.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
They have.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
But they've been dominating everybody Defensively.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
I don't think they gave up more than twenty four
points all season or something like that. I mean they defensively,
they've been incredible. Uh And it's one of those things
you got to see the old too much celebrate irving.
But that's the thing they've been able to hang their
hat on say look we got to shot. We talk
all the time defenses keep you in the game. Go
see the Houston Texas for that. This is one of
those games. If you look at the box score, you
might be deceived. You see total yards and Miami only
(09:02):
has eleven more total yards than Ohio States.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Don't feel like you got the pig six is one.
Ohio State is only one for six on third down.
That's huge, that's big. And then this is the big one.
This to your point, Rob dominating the game, Miami time
of possession almost double what Ohio.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
This is what I'm saying, Like, that's what it feels
like just watching the game.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
You know, their their punter had a couple of nights
they were able to get Ohio State down in like
the two or three too to keep you, you know,
keep them in their own side of the field too.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
All right, hey, speaking of go ahead sticking in college football,
this is college football Eve Day weekend, however you.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Want to call it, college football playoffs in full effect.
And tomorrow afternoon, big game We're going to talk about,
especially on the Herd tomorrow morning. Shameless plug, Rob Parker,
carry Roads.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That's right, Cam, wait tomorrow you producing? Yes, sir, I
ain't you double.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I was about to say, let me check your forehead
talk about double producer. Yeah right, you guy. You think
I told you I from the grind.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, He's like, what I could do the show I
could be get be done by now?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah? Oh yeah yeah, I'm out all right.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
So a big game, of course, Indiana, undefeated team, number
one team in the land taking on Alabama, the Crimson Tide,
the mystique that is Nick Saban and Bear Bryan, all
those folks. Big game and surprisingly, even though it's Alabama
and the brand name the Coca Cola Football Indiana according
(10:30):
to bet MGM Lamar Mitchell, friend of the Show, seven
and a half point favorite in that game.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I'm gonna say this, Calvin, and I'm not even gonna
mince word. I'm rooting against Indiana. I'm rooting against this
fraudulent underdog story that has been painted for Indiana. And
here's the reason why why, Cause they're not This is
not a real like, oh my god, Indiana is in
(10:59):
a big college football game. They don't have any history.
They're a basketball school, right, no history. You know that
even in the Big Ten all these years. Look at
how much money they spent for players. Two million for
their quarterback alone, right, rob g two million for their quarterback.
They use the transfer portal for getting players and they've paid.
(11:21):
They're in the top half, top part, top ten of
money spent on their program. It's not underdogs. They should
be where they are.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They've been able to accumulate players, good players from the portal,
paid for other players, good players to add to their team.
And that's why they're coaching just his second year. He
didn't have enough time to change the culture. He changed
the money clip. That's what's changed.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So it's not the little engine that couldn't you know,
like looking at Indiana, going, oh, what.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
A great story. Indiana.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
They're gonna beat the big bad wolves of Alabama and
these other schools.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
No, they're a big bad wolf. They're in that realm. Now.
That's why it's not to me a classic underdog.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
When you could rally behind Indiana, I'm sorry, I'm rooting
against Indiana.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Man, if you don't stop it, you just said it.
Indiana is known for basketball. He ain't nobody thought of
Indiana football ever in their life. And the fact that
he's been able to do this now, winning twenty three
Believe games in two years. Secnaty is doing something amazing. Rob,
he ain't doing nothing. The you the U Miami University
hasn't been quite what they used to be back in
(12:40):
the eighties, nineties and the two thousands. Right, you got Texas, Oh,
we got arch Manny rank number one, You got Sarking
that office that they ain't did nothing like you thought.
Usc they got Cayleb Williams and Ry Lincoln. Right, they
haven't even done anything. I could go on and on
and on. We talk about James Franklin Penn State, good
but not able to get over the hump. And now
(13:01):
he's got a chance to win a national title in
two years. And mind you, he brought James Madison players
thirty plus transfers and some most of them were from
James Madison. He didn't get all of these massive, big
time transfers from of the those big schools. He got
a lot of them for the schools that he was
at at James Madison. So what he's been able to
do in a short amount of time is remarkable when
(13:21):
you think of the schools that have been able to
do this for decades. And haven't had this kind of success.
So I definitely give him credit. Definitely think is amazing
what he's done. And you, my friend, have sat next
to me and we've talked about it. We said, nothing's changed.
It's the same blue bloods. Until I see as out
of the blue random school win, then nothing changed. You're
about to get it with Indiana if they win.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
No, but they're not. They weren't.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Like they don't have the players, or they haven't spent
the money.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No, it's not the same, but that.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Will never happen because that basketball has a greater chance
in football.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
They're not an an underdog on also ran or they
have a or like when you looking at some sports,
you go, it's unbelievable the Mets and Yankees and Dodgers
have these payrolls, and uh, poor little Arizona the city
or Kansas City wins the World Series? Do you like, Like,
that's one where you can really look at it and go,
it's unbelievable what they've did with so much less. All
(14:17):
I'm saying is Indiana's in the top ten. They should
be competing with the big boys because of the money spent.
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
I'm just saying so many other schools have spent money.
Just like you mentioned in baseball, they stand a bunch
of money.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
They automatically mean that you're gonna win. But to act
like there are some underdog then not another.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
They have no history.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
But I'd give you if Missouri or some other teams
that you know, they've had. Sorry, they've been good from
time to twur here they popped up on the radar
here again, you know in North Carolina State they've popped
Indiana ain't never been nothing, one of the worst football
programs in the country, and now to be good for
two years and specifically this year where they got a
chance to compete for a championship. Come on, Rob, is
(15:00):
a underdog story, all right?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine. Are you rooting
for Indiana because I'm not. They're not underdogs. This sweet
poly pure bread, that's what they are.

seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I completely disagree with
Robin Is. We've been having fun day, having fun, and
we kind of agreed on some things.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Not this.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
You're calling Indiana fraudulent. I'm saying this has been amazing,
the run that they've been on the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
What's say you? Eight seven seven ninety nine one, And
let me give you some numbers.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Indiana coaching and support staff makes twenty million dollars a
year combined. Okay, they have spent more money in football
every year since twenty twenty one. Last season they spent
over sixty one million, which is more than the average
(17:44):
Big Big ten spending amount. They reportedly spent even more
this year, but the numbers on and yet and they're
receiving millions from more Cuban. That's all I'm saying is like,
this isn't Oh my god, I can't believe. What are
they doing? How would they winning? It's just because you
ain't the culture. No, they have big time players.
Speaker 2 (18:03):

Oldell Beckham Parker. Okay, because you sound like going to
Beckham saying it's hard to live on one hundred million dollars.
I'm it's a bog time Indiana bucked up and spent
some money. They haven't been relevant football since I was
(19:23):
thirteen years old, which is like nineteen sixty nine. Nineteen
chepany dead coach called out the whole program, saying, hey,
y'all gotta do better. I'm creating Missolotis.
Speaker 4 (19:34):

Fox Sports Radio Hot Couple, Rob Parker Kelvin Washington, Wor's
your Wednesday, last one of the twenty twenty five year.
Thank you, thank rocking with us, Thank you for the calls,
thank you for the last, thank you for the disagreement,
thank you for it all. We're just appreciative if you're
listening to us, engaging, and it means a lot to us.
I think I speak for Rob and the whole crew
(28:11):
when I say that, So we appreciate you. We don't
take you for granted at all. And thank you for
rocking with your boys all twenty twenty five and we're
just getting started to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
On the way, all right, Rob Ga, the game real quick.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Ohio State scored fourteen to seven, Miami up with eight
left in the third.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Plenty of time.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
It's a long You and I were talking off the air.
You had said it earlier on the air, but we
kept the conversation going. And just if you're Miami, you
wanted to maybe just be up seventeen nothing. You know,
you gotta get some points here because the extra those extra.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Points are crucial.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Man, being up three scores, even if it's just seventeen,
it's different, especially in the defensive game of your defense
is playing very well, so points definitely matter. If you're Miami,
you want to get it, even if it's a field goal.
Just just get it back to a two score game.
Manti had mentioned that Lamar practiced today. Lamar Jackson practice.
We know he has been nicked up. He's been this
(29:06):
whole Season's been in and out. Rob g in a
lot of speculation because Harbo has not said who the
starter will be thus far.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
No, he has not, And in fact, you have a
wide spectrum of NFL analyst, former players, and so on
and so forth trying to debate who should actually start
this must win game on Sunday night. On one hand,
Stoop Hunley looked fantastic and that way last week the
must have got to have it win against Green Bay
on the road at lambeau Field, and Lamar Jackson, to
(29:37):
put it lightly, has been uneven. This season started off
like Gangbusters, came back from the injury, looked really sluggish,
and then once he finally started to find his footing
there in week sixteen, he got hurt right away and
he couldn't reportedly couldn't even move. That's why he missed
last week's game, and he came back and practiced on Wednesday.
We don't know how much of a practice he got in.
We don't know how fluid he looked, only that he
(29:59):
had a massive flack jacket around his midsection protecting his back.
So the question is you start a very healthy snoop
pun leader backup quarterback, or do you take we'll call
it a seventy percent version of Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I'm taking seventy percent of Lamar I think most importantly, Rob,
I think you might feel me on this.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I think he's earned it.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
You know, if he gives me the look and says, coach,
I'm ready to go, then I have to just believe him.
This is a do or die game. They win, they're
in the postseason, and then at that point everything zero zero, Right,
it's the new It's a tournament you get in you
never know. And yes, it's been up and down season,
Yes it's been rough. Yes it hasn't been the season
you'd hope for. But if you get in you got
a chance. And if Lamar Jackson tells me coach, I'm ready,
(30:42):
let's put everything behind us, let's get in here and
let's run the football, because I do believe that is
gonna be key a key element to their success.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Running.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Derick Henry and obviously Lamar are making plays here there
when he needed, as he's been doing his whole career,
and that also matters to me. He's earned this. He's
been a multiple MVP, He's been incredible. His winning percentage
is like seventy two percent of his games. He has
been everything that franchise could have ever hoped for in
a quarterback in the six or seven years he's been
in the league. And I absolutely believe he earned He
(31:13):
has earned that chance to say, hey man, let me
go out there and win. It's a game and get
us in the posts.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Unless he's hurt, unless bad, if he can't play, then
I'm against it. Like if he's really hurt and you
go out there and you're hurting your team by playing.
But if he's seventy percent, seventy whatever, he's still going
to be better than anybody else you tried out there.
I don't care what game, and I could live with that.
If you put Lamar out there and you still lost,
I could live with that. If you didn't play him
(31:41):
and you lose, you go, We'll go to second guess yourself.
I do remember this, and I'm just I know it's
kind of apples and oranges, but I remember when the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You might remember this.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
We're playing the Cardinals in the World Series in two
thousand and six. Kenny Rodgers was the left handed pitcher,
had an unbelievable postseason. But he pitches better at home
than he does on the road.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Just the fact.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Jim Lee Linn, the managers now in the Hall of Fame. Yep,
the Tigers were in a must win situation. He held
Kenny Rodgers to pitch Game seven in Detroit and didn't
pitch him in Game six in Saint Louis.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Guess what happened. The series was over in six game
s Aggress a good example, do you know what I'm saying? Like, Yeah,
I know he ain't the greatest on the on the road,
but dang it, he's our guy.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
He's our guy.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I don't know if so the season ended without Kenny
Rodgers pitching. Again, you can't do that same thing. If
your season's gonna end, Lamar has to be in there,
and it has to end with Lamar, and then chalk
it up as it wasn't our year.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We had a bad year. When we blew that first
game and we had forty points in Buffalo, that was
a sign of that this wasn't gonna be our yeame.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
And Lamar has been banged up and he's been hurt,
and you know, listen, I believe that at some point
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will be good again. They're
I'm not saying they're winning five super Bowls. My point
is I believe Lamar Jackson healthy, gets right, the team's right,
like you'll be fine. Nobody has these amazing seasons every
single year of their career. Right, there's ups and down
talking about Tom Brady not winning for nine full seasons.
(33:19):
So the idea that like, yo, if you had a
rough year, that this year has been even if they
get into post, he's still been a rough year. But
you can hopefully cleanse your palateque, can wipe your hands
clean and say we're in but it's been a rough year.
But that's the guy. If he looks at me I
can pick them, but I can't to win that game
or yeah, to win that game. They have been so
bad all year it's hard for me. I'm dead serious,
(33:42):
like like not just Lamar fumbles, you know what I'm saying,
something only something like forty points. Their defense gives up
like I'm Mark Andrews. I know was last year, but
my point is.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Just you know what I'm saying, Like it just it
just seemed like something's over. They're never in sync at
the right time is the issue I agree with.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And we haven't had a full like a full game
from them to me, like Willie, all right, last call time,
let's do this is the last.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That's right, Thanks d C. Shout out to d C.
All right, Sammy in Orlando. Wow, you're there on a
couple of Fox Sports Radio and you are the last call.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I just want to say, if you go to waffle
house and the cook is not outside smoking a cigarette,
it's not the it's not the.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Waffle house experience. That ain't a real waffle house. You're right.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
And and those things on your pancakes those are ashes.
I'm just trying to right chocolate flavor. Hey, he hay, lying.
That's like my rob g. You know I've told you.
Thanks Sammy, if the people barbecuing for me, if he
ain't have a little fat back on.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
His arm, Nah, you gotta fat back? Oh yeah, arm? Yeah, Alex,
I'm sorry. You can't. You too? You built like a DNAs.
You can't. You can't.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
That's not cool. I'm just saying, why not. I don't know,
I'm body shaming. I guess you gotta be.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Gee, where are you.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
When I go to Mexican restaurants? If it has like
higher than to be in the window Ironstein?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Really? All right?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
I'm with you, except there's a few like Javier, but
that's not real Mexican.
Speaker 8 (35:27):
Yeah, that's what he's talking about.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
What I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
See the way the pounced on you Mexican.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I respect it because you know I'll be the first
tell you about some real somebody walked in here with
a punkin pie me and robill throw you out already.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Tell what is that restaurant that I don't go to?
Speaker 10 (35:43):
Is?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Name which one?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
There's a few, there's so many on your list, you loco?
Panda Express?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
What else? What else don't you like? I'm going to
Panda Express and they are black people working behind the counter.
I don't know. You want five more years? For five
more years, we're not gonna.
Speaker 8 (36:02):
Make it's a bad thing.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Rob. His point is you would want maybe ethnically to
fix I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Know what what I'm just saying.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
You got to go into a hole in the wall
Chinese food place.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
All right, if you want to. If you are to
the hole in the wall and drawn was like, y'are
welcome to us? Such and such?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Would you would you be like you would not be eating?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
My first should be how did you get here?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Okay, you can't say it sounded crazy? What you mean?
You're right?
Speaker 6 (36:33):
The mom the mom and pop joints. You do need somebody.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
And there is a real hack.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
This has been proven on a lot of social media outlets.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
If you go to an authentic Asian restaurant, people be like, oh,
I want to order this, this this is and if
they tell you stop no, because they only cook one
at a time.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
That's how you know that it's a real authentic place.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
Stop because allegedly if you go to Asia and like
real that's how they cooked they cooked the meals.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
If you order your meal, then I'm gonna cook Rob's meal.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
It's not a big.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Potting seven different things. If they don't tell you to stop, no,
we're not too much food, then it's the wrong place
to be at.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
That's what I feel about that.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Nobody got time for that.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I'm hungry.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Come on, hey, Happy new Year. Every new year, y'all,
New year, y'all, wonderful, wonderful year looking forward to Yeah,
twenty twenty six, that's right. We all gonna get healthy
and get fit and go eat something and I mean
it work out. I think I'm gonna start reading books.

listening to the show after I'm gonna get the jab.
