here's what I want to make sure that you understand.
Don't let hey, Downtown's going to be packed and everybody's

(01:17):

you not to show up, because we're going to have
a badass time. And you know when I suggest we're
going to have a badass time. That's exactly what is
going to take place, because we are talking at great
length about a lot of things including Ohio State IU tomorrow,

(01:40):
eight o'clock Lucas Oil Stadium.

The ticket prices are through the roof right now.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
You if you have them well done, if you have
your bulls eye passes well done, because that thing is
going to be packed as well. You may want to

but that thing is going to be off the hook,
as they say, coming up tomorrow as well.

Obviously I'll go over tomorrow where all.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
We can get together and hang out because I do
truly enjoy that and I want to see you here
at Tiebreakers because this is very easy to get to.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And let me give you a little background.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
I was sharing this with Jake and the Crossover brought
you by Love hitting an Air.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
But Rob is the owner. I know Robin Wayne.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Wayne, by the way, is from sene Grove, which is awesome,
but Rob is the owner. Rob also owns the whistle Stop,
so you know what the elite level quality of the
whistle stop. So you can just imagine exactly how tie
Breakers are going to be here on MASSV. And when
I say mass EV, it's right here at the beginning
of Mass F right across from Bakersfield. It is easy

(02:46):
to find. Hey, pull up park that bad boy me,
my dumb ass, has been able to get the parking app. Now,
I will say this, I had the parking app last
week dev when we were in broad and I still
I have no idea how I still got a ticket?
How do I have the parking app? Does that mean
I'm doing that wrong? I still came out of there.

(03:08):
There's a ticket on my windshield. So I'm gonna have
to have some words with you and Broader Ripple. But
I get the app and I park, and we're right here.
It is a beautiful thing. The guys that were doing
some work right out there in front are now done.
We have plenty of room for you in an incredible
environment at tie Breakers on Mass AV. This is a

(03:31):
bud Light Blue Friday. No, James, you're calling you know
what I think he may be calling us. I apologize, James.
I think DJ Jones is going to call us. I'll
explain that coming up in just a minute. But bud
Light Blue Friday means you can win some Colts tickets
while you're here. The football toss is going on as well,
and we still had that trip for you. I'll explain

(03:52):
those rules and what you can win with a football toss,
But again I scoll bud Light, great Food, tie breakers
and basically what this he is a springboard to what
is going to be a fantastic weekend here in Indianapolis.
When you think about it, I mean tomorrow you get
obviously p'ding Iowa State's gonna be awesome too.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're gonna watch that, and then IU.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
And Louisville two teams that need to make up for
a little lost ground last time out gamebridge Field House.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
So I'm going to try to make that.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Coming up tomorrow, and then Bullseye, and then you've got
obviously I you in Ohio State, and then coming up
on Sunday. Oh, by the way, just a little must
win got in Jacksonville for the Colts against the Zacksonville Jaguars.
We'll have all that conversation for you coming up in
just a bit too. I should remind you again tie

(04:45):
breakers on mess F But Chris Philika, the Bear from Fox,
going to join us coming up here at the five
o'clock hour with his breakdown of this Big Ten Title game.
And honestly, you look around the college football landscape of
title tilt's going on this weekend, what could most significantly
rock the boat? Because we are keeping in mind exactly

(05:07):
the standing of Notre Dame right now, and I know
Notre Dame fans are a little bit skittish about what's
going on or what could happen around them. But we'll
talk to Chris Filika again, the Bear Fox coming up
in the five o'clock hour, five thirty.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
He will join us and we shall discuss that. Now.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Don Fisher, voice of the Hoosiers, going to join us,
coming up a little bit later on too. Don is
doing the double dip, and I kind of wonder how
much I'm going to utilize Don today because he's got
to save it.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
He's going to do that double dip tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Are you basketball Louisville and I you Gamebridge field House?
And then the Big Ten Title game. He is going
to be doing that. We'll talk to Don coming up
here in the five o'clock hour. I think Mike Wells
is going to join us too, of ESPN Radio I
know our good friend Amparris is going to slide by
or I don't know either that, or he's gonna call James.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
He's going to talk with us a little bit later
on as well.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Bob Lovell too will joined as he normally does on
a Friday and coming up in a minute. And my
good friend Mike Poe and a lot of you know Mike.
Mike is a friend of everybody, but Mike Poe set
this up with me. He has recently met the Jones family,
and the Jones family from Ohio. They have a significant

(06:26):
situation going on. So the father, DJ Jones, is a
former tight end at Ohio State back in the nineties,
had really an incredible story, kind of a life saving
story back with the teams in the day. I think
he was at the tail end of the Herb Street era.
I think Stanley was a Stanley Jackson and Joe germain

(06:49):
eras kind of coinciding right there as well. But DJ
Jones was a tight end and had to overcome of
some health issues and certainly some things going on while
in Columbus. But his legacy, Isaiah Jones are you fans
know him very well as a standout linebacker on defense

(07:13):
for the Hoosiers and a guy I don't believe Isaiah
was recruited at all by Ohio State, and they may
wish that they would have him around right now because
he has been spectacular defensively for Kurt Signetti and IU.
The son of DJ Jones is Isaiah Jones, and DJ
is going to join us coming up here in just

(07:34):
a couple of minutes rund about three ten or so,
and we'll get some things started because it's kind of
an interesting dynamic, a little family thing to where you know,
normally you've got a legacy of Ohio State in the
football program, and you know, everybody around DJ Jones and
the family will be rooting now for the upstart Indiana
Hoosiers and Isaiah Jones because obviously he's a part of

(07:56):
that team.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
But the story is really cool.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
And DJ's going to join us in a couple of
minutes and we'll talk about Ohio State, his time there
in the nineties, what he went through, and then obviously,
you know, sitting back and watching his son play at
a level on which his son has and being a
part of this IU program.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
All right, that and more for.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
You again, Tie Breakers on mass af bud Light Blue
Friday will further explain and just a moment, I think
Haygen is going to drop by, maybe even Trisha Whittaker
coming up too, So you guys sit tight for that
meantime of the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
I mentioned this kind.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Of broke it down a little bit, but further discussion
means we're going to bring on board the father of
Isaiah Jones of IU, the lineback of the Red Shirt Junior.
The father is the former tight end at Ohio State,
DJ Jones, who's on the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline
right now.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Hey, DJ, thank you very much for the time. How
are you? I'm well, how are you outstanding? Now?

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I didn't want to mention this that I know that
you get to hang around with Mike Poe a great deal,
so I'm sure you're thrilled with that.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
As he is.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I may bring him on, I may bring him on
to just a second to converse with you. But hey, honestly, DJ,
there's no better due to the world than Mike Poe.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
And I know you know that too.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, he is. He's a great guy, absolutely.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
So what's the emotional dynamic going on in the Jones
family with what you have accomplished, what you were a
part of, and with what your son is accomplishing and
what's he's a part of it. Certainly going into that
matchup with your former team coming up tomorrow night, what's
the emotional dynamic in the family right now?

Speaker 8 (09:42):
Well, I think our family is one hundred percent converted.
Who's your fans this season and will be tomorrow in
that stadium. I've actually been amazed at how many you know,
family friends, relatives, you know, acquaintances have had actually posed
that question to me as to who I'm going to
be rooting for tomorrow. Obviously growing up a buck guy

(10:05):
and having played there any time.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
That Ohio State is in a situation.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
Like this, I'm a diehard buck Eye at heart, but
blood runs much deeper than school loyalties and Isaiah having
a chance like this on this national stage for he
and is who's your teammates to basically write history for
who's your nation? We're all going to be wearing the
cream and crimson and cheering loudly for Indiana tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
He is the father of Isaiah Jones.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
DJ Jones is a former Buckeye football player who's on
the Andy More out of Moni group potline. I asked
this of everybody, DJ, but I want to ask somebody
that certainly is closely related to the situation here. Did
you ever think when Isaiah goes to IU that we
would be in this situation as we find ourselves right now?

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I mean, you're close to it.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
How amazing is it to you compared to I guess
the rest of the college football world right now?

Speaker 8 (11:03):
Well, you see all these these articles, you hear these
pundits on these talk shows, and and they're all just floored.
And I think I'm right there with them, right So,
I having grown up a big Tin fan, and and
there's just that, you know, every now and then there's
that season where Indiana's competitive and they're winning more games
than they're losing. But to see what they've done the
last two years has been nothing short of remarkable. You know,

(11:26):
It's I still am having, you know, problems getting over
just the logo on the helmet and the success that
they're having because it's clearly not something that I was
used to seeing when I played there.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
What did you when Isaiah decided to go to IU?

Speaker 5 (11:41):
What did you think about the IU football program then
as a former Buck guy compared to how you feel
about it two years in with head coach Kurt Signetti.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
So when he when he made the decision and he
was looking at schools, there was there was a few
of the Big ten schools that were recruiting him that
he had an opportunity to play for. And I think
he in his mind, he came down to like he
wanted to be a Big ten linebacker. He wanted to
play for some place that was close to home, where

(12:15):
his family and relatives could see him play on a
consistent basis. He wanted to be a part of something
which at that time Tom Allen had had a couple
of successful years and they were kind of coming out
of one of the more successful years that they'd had.
Now that didn't quite work out as well his first
couple of years there, but in his mind, he wanted

(12:35):
an opportunity being an Ohio kid, to be able to
play Ohio State every year. Was it highly recruited by
Ohio State kind of came in late in his recruitment process,
but did not receive that offer. So in his mind,
he wanted an opportunity to play the Buckeys. At that point,
they were still in that East West Division. Now it's

(12:58):
kind of a wide open with the addition of the
to West Coast schools are the four West Coast schools.
So I've enjoyed watching his progress. I've enjoyed watching the
development that he's made, and I think everybody that's a
Hoosier fan has enjoyed the success that Signetti and just
the process that coach Signette's brought to the Hoosiers.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
What has that been like for you? I mean what
stands out to you?

Speaker 5 (13:23):
And I know your son obviously is more into it
as a part of that football team, but as a
former player, what does Kurt Signetti bring to the table
that gets out of these players and programs wherever he's been,
whether it's James Madison prior to this or now at IU.
What is it about him that gets so much and
has such an understanding about the guy he's coaching guys

(13:44):
here coaching up at a high level.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
DJ Well, I.

Speaker 8 (13:50):
Think in talking with Isaiah and just you know, kind
of being a process oriented guy and understanding what makes
football program successful. In watching some of these these high
level coaches, I think it's a process orientation. There's no
wasted motion. Uh, it's attention to detail. I think when

(14:11):
you look at where coach Signettes spent a large portion
of his his tenure was under a guy like Saban
at Alabama who did it as well as anybody. Just
just the attention to detail, the ability to find the
right people. Any great organization, it's about finding the right people,
the right coaches, the right players that fit that system.
And I think coach Signette's brought that to Indiana over

(14:34):
his progression through through his head coaching stops. Is just
we're not going to have any wasted motion. We're going
to recruit the right people, high character guys, guys that
have a chip on their shoulder, guys that have potential
and the athletic ability. And then we're going to surround
them with the right coaching staff. And and and you
get your coaches trained up. Your coaches didn't train up

(14:55):
the players, and just there's no stone left unturned, there's
no scenario and situation that you're not prepared for. And
and I think that's what has led to to Indiana's
you know, remarkable two year turnaround is just getting the
right guy in the right situation and and and let's
not be coy like Indiana has a large uh you know,

(15:17):
it's a large state school. They have a large support
staff out there, they have a large alumni base. There's
a large contingency of industry and businesses that you know
are contributing to to all of the revenue sharing. So
you know you're bringing in the right pieces. You have
the funds to compete on that national level. And I

(15:38):
think what you're seeing is when you when you see
a guy with with Coach Signett's process, you know, coupled
with uh, you know, an administration, athletic director and president
and university board that's going to support him with the funds,
It's amazing what you can do in a short two
year window.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah, DJ Jones shows as a former Buck guy. He's
the father of Is Jones, the IU linebacker with IU
and Ohio State coming up tomorrow night at eight o'clock
Lucas Oil Stadium for a Big Ten title and DJ's
on the Andy.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
More Automotive Group highline.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
It's interesting, right, I mean, you and I are about
the same age here, and when you look at the
landscape of what your college athletics would be right now
and how a team like IU can be a part
of it compared to what the past might be. It
is absolutely a one to eighty and sometimes it's recognizable.
But when you do it right like IU has from
Scott Dolson through Kurt Signetti and how they're doing it

(16:33):
right now, I mean, you can find something when you're
a program that historically you've never really found this level
of winning DJ.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Oh absolutely, and I think coach Signetti has made that clear.
It's the support from from the ad Scott Dolson, Pam
Winton down to administration, just just everybody, you know. But
you know, there's examples over the last few years with
this whole nil thing where it's employed where you get
the coaches that have unlimited budgets and and they go

(17:04):
out there and just and just buy teams and pay
for teams and things like that, and it hasn't worked well.
And so I think there's there's still that component of
finding high character individuals, uh, you know, finding uh kids
that have been raised in the right way that is
not necessarily all about chasing the dollar, that are coming

(17:24):
in here for the right reason to become a part
of something great.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know, guys like Coogan and some of these guys
that that he's been.

Speaker 8 (17:32):
Able to you know, Mendoza and bring in here coupled
with the ones he brought from JMU, coupled with the
ones that held over from from the coaching change a
couple of years ago. And and it's all about people,
you know, any successful organization, any successful team. Uh, it's
all about the right People's.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
DJ Jones, who is with us? You got a good
scattering report for us? Give us the uh the father Scott,
because I mean, you're a unique to the show. You're
a former player and a father of an eye you
play right now, So a former Buck guy, a father
and I you player.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Give us a scouting report for both teams for tomorrow night.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
Well, I certainly don't win Indiana to resend my tickets
that they set me side.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
But but what I.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
Can tell you, what I can tell you is, uh,
you know we're and I only know it from the
defensive side. I can't tell you what they're gonna do.
I can tell you what I think they're gonna do.
But uh, from a defense his perspective, I think they're
gonna try to pressure the quarterback. I don't think that
he's been pressured much this year, and I think they're

(18:36):
I think they're gonna play loose. I think they're gonna play,
you know, care free. I I just think that Indiana
has nothing to lose. I think Ohio State has everything
to lose. No one expects, per se that Indiana is
gonna come in there against the mighty buck Eys, and
I think that's gonna bode well for for coach Signetti
and his team. I think his guys are juiced up

(18:57):
and ready to play, and I think the defense is
gonna in their ears back and try to get after
get after that.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Quarterback and uh without without indulging too much.

Speaker 8 (19:06):
I just that's that's part of the way I see
it going. And I think offensively, I think they're going
to try to establish the run and uh, you know,
kind of pop pop Ohio State in them out, which
no one's been able to do this year either.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
No, no, they haven't too You take anything away from
last year in Columbus in November compared to what may
happen coming up tomorrow night, because I don't like I
think Kurtz Signetti's references before. I mean, it's a new season,
got some new guys in there. I don't take a
great deal away from what took place at Columbus last
year compared to what we expect tomorrow night, do you no?

Speaker 8 (19:43):
And And to be honest with you, just kind of
what I know on the inside from what happened last year.
You know, you know, we stop Ohio State, we go down,
we score, the quiet, the crowd is quiet, you know,
and we've got a couple of botched special teams. We
got to drop punt inside the ten, we gotta we
got a punt that was supposed to go right that
went left, resulted in a in a return for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Some of these things are.

Speaker 8 (20:04):
Just you know, you don't have that that window of
air against a team of Ohio State's caliber. I think
Ohio State's better than they were last year. I think
Indiana significantly better at different facets of the game. I
think in the trenches were better. I don't think we
were intimidated last year. I just think that we got

(20:24):
beat up in some certain areas. So I think this
team is the moxy of signetti that you know, they're
willing to swing and fight with anybody out there. And
I think you're going to see that tomorrow in Lucas
Oil Stadium.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
He is DJ Jones, the former Buck Guy. He's the
dad of Isaiah Jones, linebacker for the Hoosiers. He's on
the Andy Moore Automotive Group potline. Let me bring in
a mutual friend of ours, DJ, right here. I feel
like I know you a great deal now because Mike
Poe was standing by with us too, and he's he's
the one that set this up. This is well done out.
If you do a lot of great things, Mike, this

(20:59):
is one of them.

Speaker 7 (21:00):
Well, thank you very much.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
I want to say hi to a big sexy Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
I didn't know I could reference you as big sexy DJ.

Speaker 10 (21:10):
That's just kind of you.

Speaker 9 (21:13):
He may he may act like it, but he doesn't
hate it. When they call I gotcha, I got you to,
I'll just say it's an honor and a blessing to
know the Joneses and through them, to get to know
you know several of the players, uh, all three of
his kids, and you know, the youngest son plays for Kolgate.
He's a linebacker there. The oldest son, Jackson, happens to

(21:37):
work with us. When you talk about character, they're they're
the epitome of it. And and guys like Carter Smith,
I mean just good folks, work hard, you know all
they make good grades, they're uh, just good people. It's
been a blessing to me to be a part of
it for the last couple of years.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Well, you guys are both awesome, There's no question about that.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
DJ.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
I know you've you've gone through a lot, especially back
during your your football career. I was privy to one
of the articles back in the nineties from you you
have persevered and congratulations with all that you've accomplished. And
you know, being a father myself, you know a lot
of those accomplishments comes with those that like Isaiah and

(22:21):
your family that continue to do what they do. And
that makes it even extra special, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
It absolutely does.

Speaker 8 (22:28):
I I tried to raise all of my kids to
be individual and to to you know, achieve, achieve what
they wanted to do based upon their desires, not necessarily
what their their dad wanted them to do. So they're
they're all special in their own way, and it's it's
it's been fun to watch each and every one of
them kind of excel in their own in their own way.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
So Isaiah's forging.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
His own path and and I'm I'm super proud to
see where all of them are and especially proud of
what Isaiah has the opportunity to.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Be a more of tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
We are incredibly happy for you. It has been an
absolute pleasure to be introduced to you. So I don't know,
like Poe's gonna get me wrapped up in some things
coming up tomorrow, I think, are you going to be
a part of these things that Mike Post putting together
to wrap us up in?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Absolutely, we're going to be there. And so we're having
a We're gonna.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
We're We've got we've got a big contingent coming over
from Columbus. I've I've warned a few of them not
to be too raucous of a Buckeye fans, but I've
got some former teammates that are coming over. Uh, but
it's it's all of it's uh, you know, that's that's
part of what the brotherhood of any team is is
just you know, And I've got a lot of Isaiah

(23:44):
Jones fans that are probably gonna be wearing Ohio State
gear tomorrow's here on the buck Eye, but they'll be
cheering on number forty six as well.

Will be back. I love this, like this place right here.

pretty funny. I got James Boyd a fighting a LINEI

(28:20):
Kevin Bowen notre Dame Jake, I you Eddie Garrison, gut Cincinnati.
They made an Indiana State Sycamores for me. But shout
out to Spencer who joined us yesterday of Thompson Furniture.
It was an outstanding time meantime in the Andy Moore
Automotive Group potline. He's a good friend of the show

(28:40):
per usual. He's got a lot to talk about. I
know that the High Score Football finals on the rear
view now, but you've got high school basketball, you've got
college basketball, you've got college football with I you playing
the like seventy situation that we never thought we would
ever see. Bob level It joins us now, Good afternoon, Bob.

(29:02):
How are you?

Speaker 6 (29:03):
I'm great, John, how are you?

Speaker 5 (29:05):
What if I were to tell you, like three four
years ago that this would be the IU football team
in their position in twenty twenty five, would you have
smacked me around a little bit and said you're crazy?

Speaker 6 (29:16):
I would have done what most people should try to
do with you is ignore you. But uh, I don't
don't look add me to the list. I never I
didn't think it was possible. You look at all the
through the years they've hired you, They've they've missed some
on hires, but they brought in some people to who
are pretty good football people, and uh, no one ever

(29:39):
won and clearly no one to this level. And so
I thought it was one of those kinds of positions
and if you're looking to in your coaching career, take
the iued football job. And so that's a that's all changed.
That's that's all all changed dramatically. And uh, I think
the amazing thing to me is two years, only two years,
and I understand it's a a new world and things

(30:01):
are different in terms of how to build rosters and
all that stuff. For two years, there's two years. That's
that's not a lot of time to move from the
worst having lost the most games in the country at
the Division one level to beings, uh, potentially playing for
a national championship. That's that's incredible.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
It is among one of the more amazing stories in
college athletics especially.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
It's right there.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
Well, there's no question, and it's you know, what's fun
is that they just go out and play. You know,
they don't listen to the And it's also equally I
think frustrating is the national media continues it not that
we care or should care what the national media says.
They give them no respect. Uh, they just don't. Uh,
they don't know what we know. We appreciate what they've

(30:53):
done and understand it. But the idea now is take
care of business, do what you're supposed to do, and
let things happen.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
It is River Now.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
I mentioned a little bit earlier high school football. We
make that not so subtle transition to really high school basketball.
But final thoughts on last weekend Downtown Indy may have
been one of.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
The best weekends they've ever had. John, to be honest,
the great every time you go in, you know, from
my position, every time you go in and talk about
the terms of previewing the state finals, you're always talking
about that this would be a great game, that'll be
a great game. Invariably you have two or three that
are blowouts, and then you're looking at how did this
team get in? Now, I just think that last weekend

(31:38):
they were literally all closely played games. It wasn't determined
in most cases until the end, and there were some
truly magnificent performances by some individuals and buy some teams.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
So I think.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Everyone should be happy because I thought it was a
great end to another tremendously well played football season.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
It was big glens in the house making that transition.
Now to basketball, you know, in the part of this
weekend here, I mean, obviously you go to West Lofiett,
Iowa State, Purdue coming up tomorrow, number one rank Perdue.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
We got a lot more for that.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
I you, Louisville gets things underway here downtown coming up tomorrow,
and then you know, obviously in the Big Ten title
game of Ohio State and IU. But thoughts on the
college basketball season, the one thing that stands out to
me is I love the way that Matt Painter challenges
his guys. And while his guys, you know, raise their

(32:34):
level of play, you want to see right now what
you got, And certainly that schedule for Purdue has done
that and will be doing even more than that coming
up tomorrow, given an Iowa State team that loves to
get up and down the floor and shoot at high
volume threes.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
I do think it's it's Matt. Matt doesn't shy away
from a challenge. I think, when you're as good as
they are, this is the kind of non conference schedule
you should play. You need to challenge your guys. Uh,
and they're they're clearly being challenged. Uh. I love their
their emerging depth. I think it's going to get better
and better. The new bigs, the Cluff Kid and the

(33:14):
Jacobson Kid, they add different dimensions to it. I still
wish they could shoot the ball. I will still wish
they had one or two more guys who were consistently
able to knock down jumpers. But there's plenty of time.
But they play hard, they defend you, they share the ball,
They're relentless.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
They have a toughness that a whole lot of teams
don't have, and so I think legitimately they.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Deserve to be number one, and no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
Are you, Louville both trying to get back on track
after disappointments? What do you like about that game coming
up tomorrow a little bit after too at Gambridge Field House.

Speaker 6 (33:50):
Well, I think you know from the IU perspective, how
do you bounce back? This is the first time, first
Chancy to bounce back from a loss, So how are
you going to respond to a loss? Haven't had any
obviously until UH Minnesota, So how do you bounce back
the same thing for Louis? How do you how do
you both recover from a loss? Uh and you're getting
ready obviously for your conference play. So I think that's

(34:13):
one of the big indicators.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Secondly, Uh, you know, I you maybe have some.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
Exposure in terms of their loss to Minnesota. Let's think
they defended as well as they need to. Uh, then
shoot it like they need to.

Speaker 7 (34:26):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
Tucker Debris had a tough night not being able. They
guarded him well, Uh, they couldn't get any relief off
of him, and so I think there are a lot
of things going on. Incredible. I think it's an important
game for both teams. Louisville in the same situation in
some respects. But you get very few of these non
conferences left before you toss it up and get back

(34:47):
into it full time in the conference.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
He is Bob Lovell of Indiana Sports Talk has got
you covered top to bottom with everything going on around
here this weekend. He's joining us on the Andy Moore
Automnic group plotline. Should mentioned this too, the Marian football situation.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
Uh huh.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
So they were set to play the NAIA football quarterfinals
tomorrow instead of the season is over because of an
ineligible player.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
All that surrounded that decision and what went down?

Speaker 5 (35:18):
What were your thought somebody that certainly has been close
to college athletics your entire life.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
What do you think about what went down there?

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Well, when I was at iupuis the athletic director and
basketball coach. We remember of the NAI. So I have
dealt with a similar eligibility situation. It did not preclude
It was basically our baseball team when we had a
baseball team, and they were very similar situation. Wasn't in

(35:46):
the national tournament, but they were denied the opportunity to
play in the district playoffs. And so I've been through it.
I understand it. It's an unbelievably empty feeling for the
administration and for the people there to be rolling along
and doing what you're doing and then suddenly because of
literally an administrative there. I don't know specifically what it was,

(36:09):
I can speculate, but uh, it's just it's a situation
where you didn't there was no malicious intent. There was
no intentionality to it. More than anything, it's just an
oversight in terms of the part of fulfilling your obligations
and the paperwork and those kinds of things, assuring more

(36:30):
than likely you're making sure that you assure everyone has
passed the requisite number of hours to maintain their eligibility,
and so it is, it's unbelieved you feel I felt,
I would still feel this way for the mistake that
was made when it happened to us, And you can
always say you're sorry so many times, and then you

(36:50):
have to go out and make sure it doesn't happen
to anybody else. And it impacted impacted the eligibility of
a couple of kids, you really did, and so you've
got to go to them and face them and say, hey,
through no fault of yours, uh, we're not going to
be able to play. And I'm sure that was an
extremely difficult, uh message for coach Kerris and everybody to
have to deliver to a group of guys that were

(37:13):
legitimately on on a pace to compete for a national championship.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, Steve Downing is the ad and everybody that I'm
around has told me that you could not have handled
that any better in such an unfortunate situation as he has.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
Oh, well that's Steve. I mean, Steve's the classy guy,
always has been, always will be. And so you know
it knit your mistake, do the best you can to
make sure it doesn't happen. You know, even though it's
a small campus. You know, they talked about, you know,
we have to review our procedures and and that's that's
what it was. I mean, that's exactly some procedural type
of situation where you know, you got to have a

(37:52):
good knowledge and understanding between the Register oar's office, between
your athletic department's office, and and unfortunately sometimes it happens.
I argued as vehemently as I could with the NAI
why would you punish kids for a mistake that we
made and they didn't. And that's that's always been my
contention is, Yeah, we screwed up. Why punish our kids

(38:14):
for it?

Speaker 5 (38:16):
So, Bob Lovell of Indiana Sports Talk, I thought you
probably have a really good angle with that, and I
appreciate that very much.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
And and it.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
What's a store that sometimes people have a tough time understanding.
There's no doubt about that, Bob love.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Yeah, thanks for making me read those difficult moments. I
appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah, that's that's That's what I'm all about on the

(40:41):

Speaker 3 (40:43):
I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
They still have enough talent and it still is the
beginning stages of upfront. Offensively and defensively. Well, zero reason
why you need to be going down there and losing
to Jacksonville. Get this thing back on track. And that
is for both lines and the head coach. Those are

(41:07):

Speaker 11 (42:55):
Two quick things, yes, I noticed right away, like that
hockey style arena style jumbo tron there. That's awesome. Nice
touch into speaking of tie breakers. Due to tiebreakers, Ohio
State is actually the home team tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
They'll be in there.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (43:11):
What do they call that jersey color? They don't call
it red. They call some scarlett, scarlet and silver whatever
they help. So yeah, you will be in all white
and technically due to a lengthy amount of tie breakers
Buckeye's home team tomorrow, even though we're playing here in Indianapolis.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Well, thank you for adding. You know, I come in strong,
I come in. I have a take about the Jumbo Tron.

Speaker 11 (43:30):
I give some information about the game, and now I
just set up and have this beverage while you guys
talk to them.

Speaker 5 (43:35):
I called bud Layers. What Heygen is having Robin Wayner
here right now. Robbie is the owner and obviously Wayne
is also a part of you guys are both of
us right?

Speaker 11 (43:44):
I want to I want to short side my friend
who owns the Jumbo tron. Though, if you take that home?
Who's taking that home? We'll cut it right down in
the middle.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Hey, can I get one of those who put in
my living room? Absolutely absolutely? I saw that and I
was like, I wish I had that at my house.
You're gonna have people on different sides of the room.
How would get a shot of that jumbo trunk?

Speaker 2 (44:05):
So right here?

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Retweet it? All right?

Speaker 5 (44:08):
So we got we got robbing. You know, rob from
the whistle Stop. We've been to the whistle Stop before,
no doubt about that. But how'd you guys get together
on on tiebreakers here on mass af Uh.

Speaker 12 (44:19):
Wayne's asked me for years to do a bar with him,
and this place came of. There was two spots. I
was looking at the one on mass app came available.
Hit him up, so you want to go look at it.
We came and looked at it and was like, yeah,
this is it mass Ave Heeds the sports bar.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Wayne's never asked me.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
I'm in Center Grove too, never asked me to do
Jack Squatt. I'm telling you, man, so what is this?
You what other businesses Wayne, do you have besides this?
And then you're taking on this?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Why?

Speaker 13 (44:49):
Yeah, well I own a construction company called che W Construction. Yeah,
and uh, like I said, Rob, he asked me if
I wanted to do a bar with him, and ironically
I said.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Yeah, yeah, Well that's that's a good idea too.

Speaker 5 (45:01):
How much played into it just with the success he's
had at whistle Stop and the type of place that was,
knowing he knows what he's doing around here.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (45:09):
I was a frequent person that I used to attend there,
so I felt like that he managed it really well
and everything was the food was good and drinks were cold.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
So here we are.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
You know.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
The one thing I noticed Rob too, and I loved this.
I brought up Tommy s a little bit earlier too,
And you know, over the years I've gotten to know
you know you and others. Sure, I love the fraternity
you guys have formed because you guys are really rooting
for one another and it's an incredibly cool Yeah, is
incredibly cool. How long have you been doing this? Not tiebreakers,

(45:43):
like two weeks? I know that to be yeah, but
whistle stop, whistle stop.

Speaker 12 (45:47):
I was there four years. Stadium Tavern had for eight years. Yeah,
and before that I bartended.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Did you really That's how this all started.

Speaker 12 (45:54):
I used to run the Ugly Monkey back in the day.
At one point in time, I was had a security
I can.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Now.

Speaker 11 (46:02):
I know way back he threw me out of there
one night.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Well you had to pry me off of Debbie.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
Yeah, fucking my stonewashed cuff gee slowly grinded to poison
by Bell Bevdo.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Back in the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no Ike. In
Jonesy's ninety Stories, where do we.

Speaker 12 (46:21):
Begin to you, gon Man, that place was wild, That's legendary, legend.
That's the only place I ever worked at where there
was a bar fight that made CNN, and that's was legit.
It was during the World Police and fire Games.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
Okay, and it made what didn't make CNN. It was
just a was did they break up into? Was it
cops versus fireflce?

Speaker 12 (46:50):
It was well, it started out as as a fireman
smacked one of the waitresses. I grabbed the cop that
smacked her, and then it was that's our brother.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Right, right, right, yeah, and the cops and fireman became brothers.

Speaker 12 (47:06):
It and ended up with everybody just choking, everybody else
waiting to be saved from being choked.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
But it was it was massive, that is right. Yeah,
it was crazy.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
I did not know you you did that at ike
in Jones? How long was I in Jonesie's open?

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Oh man?

Speaker 12 (47:23):
For years? I'm not even sure. It was a legendary.
I know when I when I first started there, I
was like, man, I made it, you know, I mean,
like this is yeah, this is it.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
And I was just a kid then.

Speaker 5 (47:31):
I would always go on there to try to pick
up strange I'll be that's all.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
It's all about the whole reason I got the job there.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
Looking for no cougars, no so it and then the
Ugly Monkey. Yeah, I had I had one show and
this is at a different station, at the Ugly Monkey
back in the day with me and Jack Trudeau. That
absolutely went crazy.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
I mean with that Union station, the one next to
thee that was one next to the whistle stop.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
And it was before a Colts preseason game against the Eagles. Okay,
and it got I mean, I don't even know if
I want to like share some.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Of what happened. And you stand.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
I mean, ugly Monkey was the right thing to say
because he got ugly and he got ugly early.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Brother, let me tell you that was the place.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
All right, Die Breakers is our place right now on
Mass So the big idea, here's who's the star, Rob Wayne?

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Who started the.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
What are you thinking about when you're trying to transform
this place to good food?

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Yeah, good drinks, good vibes. Well that's what we're looking for.
We were talking about this a little bit earlier.

Speaker 5 (48:38):
And also really good prices the price tag on stuff,
but can be people go out, they go WHOA get
you get sticker shock on the menu?

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Yes you don't want that. You got sichburger and fries.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
That said exactly what Jay Crerey had mentioned to me
a little bit earlier too. What's in front of me
right now?

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Deep fried ribs? All right?

Speaker 12 (48:55):
So what got spicy peach barbecue sauce served with the
waffle fries?

Speaker 3 (48:59):
You can that's the other thing on our Is that
diet for me? Right there? No carnivore, carnivore, you got
a live carnival. I can do protein though, Oh yeah, yeah,
that's good. Better give me the fries.

Speaker 12 (49:11):
No doubt to think about our ribs is that we
we we deep fry the ribs and then most places
they put barbecue sauce on it.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
You pick what sauce you want on it.

Speaker 12 (49:19):
So if you want garlic parm on your ribs, put
garlic parm buffalo, put buffalo.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
We got you covered. Love it. Hey, guys, thanks for
having us. Can we do this again? Two hundred percent?
Tell it.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
Tell everybody about this weekend, in particular what you all
have going on, and certainly after that too. So hours
and all this here on mass today. By the way,
you're in the heart of mass ab which is incredibly yea,
we're right.

Speaker 12 (49:40):

all your live scores or standings, we've got the ticker

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Hell, the thing's going down to CG for you two.
You got any big ideas going on down there too?

Speaker 1 (51:10):

on Mass half here with us on a bud Light
blue Friday. That's Chris Hagen and at Paris. He's shooting
video over there right now. He's going to join us
coming up.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
In just a minute. This weekend is unprecedented around here?
Is it not? For college football?

Speaker 6 (51:45):
You know?

Speaker 11 (51:45):
I was thinking barring now Obviously the super Bowl was
here and the Final four was here. But barring that,
this might be the biggest weekend here in town and
in Central Indiana sports wise, barring final fours in Super Bowl.
When you think, I know some of the lusters off
that IU Louisville game, but that game IU in the
championship game perdue right up the road playing a top

(52:07):
ten opponent. Uh, that's gonna be great. Butler's at home too.
Let's not sleep on that. But yeah, as far as tomorrow,
the excitement level for sports and it's such a big day, John,
I'm even working on a Saturday.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Ridiculous. So are you working on a Saturn? Working on
a Saturday? What are you doing on a Friday? Though?
Hanging out with me? Hanging out with you?

Speaker 11 (52:22):
Got You know what's funny is when you go to
text somebody a picture. I was going to text Alexa
Ross a picture, but Amps thing popped up to air drop.
I'm like, I'm like, AMP somewhere, Amp somewhere in the picture.
He's within air dropping. This is Alexa coming out And
I looked up. She's at Lucas Oil. I saw her
up there. Where's where's Whittaker Whittaker's coming up from uh

(52:43):
you know, she and Mike Wells are teachers down there,
so they had some kind of teachers meeting and our
professors whatever because staff meeting. And she's heading up. So
if she could make it in time, she's gonna come
by here.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
I think, Hey, James is Wells on at the bottom
of the hour, Yes he is. Oh, Wells is coming
on here to the lot we go. That should be good.
Would you rather see Wells or Tricia in person? What
do you think? Exactly? Mike Wells. It is a good
idea right there.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
That's how Chris Sagan am Paris amp is here as well. Man,
load up here. I know you've got we love you
for a variety of things because you're a legend around here.
But you also this time of year, I mean, you
really engage obviously to try to give back to the community,
and you do it once again.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Now.

Speaker 14 (53:22):
Yeah, man, Reggie, Wayne and myself we're doing the annual
am Paris and Friends put a Smile on a child's
face toy giveaway, something I've done, man for probably the
last eighteen to twenty years, and it's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Man.

Speaker 10 (53:35):
I get to partner with my favorite sports.

Speaker 14 (53:37):
Organizations right here in Indianapolis out the Indianapolis Motive Speedway.
Shout out to my people over there, Mark Miles, Doug Bows,
Jimmy McMillan, Alison Malinkedin for allowing me to come in
in and allow families to get a chance to experience
the Indianapolis Motive Speedway. A lot of families Jay that
may not ever get a chance to experience the greatest

(53:58):
racing and spectacle, spectacle and racing here in Indianapolis. And
then shout out to the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis
colts Man because they come alongside with me big time.
And the Pacers give me five hundred tickets to give
away to the families, the Coats. They donated a lot
of money for me to be able to purchase toys
to get back to the families.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Man.

Speaker 10 (54:18):
And today we're up to eighteen thousand kids.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
That's great man. How long have you been doing this, Sam.

Speaker 14 (54:23):
Yeah, I mean I think it's anywhere between eighteen and
twenty years. I thought, Yeah, it's been a long time.
I actually started it when Edren was here, When Edrew
James was here, he and I and my attorney at
the time. Who's like my big uncle, Nathaniel Lee. We
started doing it, Man, you.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Were Nathaniel, where's your uncle?

Speaker 10 (54:39):
That's what I call him. He's like my big brother,
my mentor.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
I don't know. I can't drive down the street, but
I've seen the damn billboard of him.

Speaker 14 (54:47):
Shout out date many in the country.

Speaker 10 (54:50):
Man, He's got billboards and signs everywhere.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Jus right now, I had no idea. Yeah, is completely different.

Speaker 10 (55:00):
I keep it in the family.

Speaker 14 (55:01):
So we started it, man years ago, and every since then,
I just built on it.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
You know.

Speaker 14 (55:08):
We went from like fifty seventy five families and one
day I woke up and said I wanted to do
three hundred families, Jay, And then you know, it was
like crazy because it was myself, George Hill, Robert Mathis,
Darius Leonard when he was a rookie, t Y Hilton has.

Speaker 10 (55:24):
Been a part of it, Paul, George.

Speaker 14 (55:26):
So I love it because, like this moment, sitting here
talking to two of my favorite people who just happen
to be in sports, to be able to come on
here man and share this word and give this information
and the reality is the toy giveaway for me, Jay
is what I call my magnet. That's the topical stuff,
that's the stuff that makes people happy. But the most

(55:48):
important thing is to be over here to talk about why,
the impact and the intent of why I do what
I do. Being a black kid man growing up inner
city family, youngest of eight, know what it's like to
wake up on Christmas and you don't know if you
got French fries under the table, a pair of socks,
or an empty box. But I know my mother did
the most she could with the best she had. So

(56:10):
to be in a position now to be able to
have the privilege to give back to our community and
have my community come alongside of me, That's that's what
it's really about. Because then to the families, they see Hope,
they see Reggie Wayne out there, they see race car
drivers out there, and they see themselves driving on the track.

(56:33):
That's like, if amp can do it, Reggie can do it,
you can do it.

Speaker 11 (56:37):
And what's said is is when you get older in life,
you realize the difference in socioeconomics and you realize, you know,
life can be tough, But when you're a kid, you
don't realize, Hey, why is Bobby and Susie getting this?
And I'm not getting anything. You don't realize why doesn't
Santa Claus care about me? So in that moment, it's

(56:57):
even more confusion. So to fill that gap and make
it with parents that are having struggles and trying to
make their Christmas as special as other kids, you can't
really explain that. And that's the gift that you keep
giving because I'm sure there's folks out here now you
say fifteen twenty years there's probably folks out there now
thirty years old that benefited from that and really appreciate that,

(57:19):
and now they carry that forward.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
Absolutely, I mean it's a blessing man.

Speaker 14 (57:23):
Like yesterday, I was volunteer at a senior citing sensn's
event and you know, someone's grandparents came up to me
and said, hey, I just want to give you a hug.

Speaker 10 (57:31):
And I'm like, oh, that's nice.

Speaker 14 (57:32):
I'm thinking she's like, oh comm here, you got a
pretty smile. I said thank you, but she really was like,
I remember, like seven years ago, you blessed my family
because my baby had heard my daughter had lost all
of her kids toys because their house caught on fire.

Speaker 10 (57:50):
And I'm like, oh wow, And so you to your point.

Speaker 14 (57:53):
You don't know the impact of the people that you
may have touched along the way, and so you know,
I just want to be a beacon of hope. Man,
that you see somebody like myself. I'm not an athlete,
even though I'm in the sports business. I'm in the
music business, entertainment business, but I'm not the person that
they glorify. And you know the old additive, you can

(58:14):
go pro at something else other than being a professional athlete.

Speaker 10 (58:17):
I'm just something else.

Speaker 14 (58:19):
Yeah, So that's the biggest thing that when people see me,
I want them to see that.

Speaker 10 (58:23):
Like when I talk about and.

Speaker 14 (58:24):
I take pictures with you guys, they're like, oh, man,
I didn't know you knew Chris Hagen.

Speaker 10 (58:29):
Oh you know dam V.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (58:31):
So see, you can know those same people.

Speaker 14 (58:33):
But you don't have to be in a football uniform
or in a basketball uniform.

Speaker 10 (58:37):
Hell, you can be go pro at underwater basketball.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Christ I tried that, right, I got cut. But it's
like this too.

Speaker 11 (58:44):
It's not like you're a billionaire and you're just writing
checks and saying go take care. I mean, you're in
the trenches, you're going up, You're meeting folks, you're getting
gifts you're going out to the speedway. This isn't like
you just I'll put my name on it and I'll just
sit back and take the accolades.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
You roll up your sleeves and you get busy each
every year.

Speaker 10 (59:00):
Yeah, I mean, like literally people don't.

Speaker 14 (59:02):
And that's why I give a huge shout out to
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway because they open up their doors
to the am Paris Foundation for.

Speaker 10 (59:09):
Two and a half weeks, and for two and a
half weeks, I.

Speaker 14 (59:12):
Have the opportunity because that's how long it takes for
this event to take place in order for us to
build it out.

Speaker 10 (59:18):
You're talking one thousand this year.

Speaker 14 (59:20):
The need is so much greater because I normally do
a thousand people to like one thousand to fifty people.
This year, I'm up to twelve hundred kids already. And
when we opened up the portal, it filled.

Speaker 10 (59:33):
Up in like an hour and a half.

Speaker 14 (59:35):
So that just tells me how important what we're doing
it really is. So I tell people, if you want
to make a donation, you can go to my foundation
website which is Amparisfoundation dot org, or you can find
me on social media under am Paris and we can
figure out if you got toys, money.

Speaker 10 (59:51):
Whatever you have to help. Is not about just me
and Reggie.

Speaker 14 (59:55):
It's about our community and that's what our people get
a chance to see.

Speaker 5 (59:58):
Man, you're an incredible deal, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
I'm not looking at my right. Hey, Amp. Have you
seen the new old building, Joe?

Speaker 6 (01:00:10):
I did?

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
I think.

Speaker 14 (01:00:11):
I can't wait to go in there day mans you
to see the beauty of it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I mean, JMV.

Speaker 14 (01:00:17):
When I moved in to Emma's building. You know I've
shared this story with you, Chris. I picked out the
gym downstairs there. No, yes, I told Jeff Simony and
I need a basketball court. There's like, we're gonna put
a gym in there. I said, you have to put
a basketball court in there, because that's what I do.
And he was like really, So we used to have
half court basketball games when I was on the radio there.

(01:00:37):
So I picked out the I put I'm responsible for
the basketball court, the jamb and them.

Speaker 10 (01:00:42):
Don't you use anymore?

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
Well, I mean my jumper kept hitting the roof. Now
that's true because Cili is about.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
Seven feet that's why. So you can't get any arc
on your shot down there.

Speaker 10 (01:00:57):
That's the worst place to work. I used to go
like because we used to play games, Like like we
used to play and we.

Speaker 14 (01:01:05):
Would go play back then Consco Fieldhouse when it was
first open and it's because you know, we had the
sponsorship there we played. They gave us like two weeks
out of the month and we could go play balled.
So these guys go play and it's like after playing
in the gym and edness, then you go to.

Speaker 10 (01:01:23):
Short Yeah, so it's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Man, Hey am for closing here. How can people get
involved with what you're doing right now?

Speaker 10 (01:01:31):
Simple?

Speaker 14 (01:01:32):
Like you can go to am Paris Foundation dot org
again and you can make a donation there, or you
can follow me on any social media platform and Paris
on x AM, Paris on Facebook, and Paris.

Speaker 10 (01:01:44):
On Instagram and again whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
You can do.

Speaker 14 (01:01:48):
Rather if you join forces with myself from Reggie Wayne,
you could do that, or just do something for somebody else.
That's all I ask, Like, be kind to somebody else,
because Lord knows in this place in time that we're in,
we need humility and humanity to show its face up and.

Speaker 5 (01:02:05):
No doubt about that. That is the legend a Paris.

when when Amp says he was gonna set you up

him and Epp said I was gonna be the opening
acts for him on the show, and I laughed and
I go, that's funny. And then a week later I'm like, hey, Amp,
where's my tickets? And Amp said, oh no, man, you're
opening act thing you know. Next thing you know, I'm

(01:04:35):
on that stage in front of a sold out crowd,
And I'm like, if Am says as a sing off,
you better not think he's joking.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Say less.

Speaker 10 (01:04:43):
All you gotta do is tell me where Mike we're
gonna get.

that song right there, and you don't sing Johnny's part.

Speaker 10 (01:04:51):

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
Oh my god. That's that is gonna be spectacularus. Mike Wells,
the ESPN Radio is with us.

Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
So you've been out an IU this week obviously teaching
kids and such uh fever pitch for this football program.

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
I mean, there's really nothing like it, Mike.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
I mean, it's unbelievable. Honestly, you're funny.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
I am.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
I'm my way from.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Boomington right now that.

Speaker 16 (01:06:16):
I you have overshadowed Ohio State in popularity this year.
I mean I never thought that would happen. Nobody has
even been been talking about Ohio State as they've been
in the number one team in the country for most
of most of the year. It is all about what
Kurt Signetti has done down there, what Fernando Mendoza has
done on his way to potentially win Wadning Heids and

(01:06:38):
trophy ceremony, and just the height that IU was playing
in his backyard, in his big in the Big Ten
championship game tomorrow night, and according to.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
A student of my head, was on the last i
U football team to beat Monday morning. When back on.

Speaker 16 (01:07:00):
Campus, if we can be talking in class about IU
knocking off the big boys over there in.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
Columbus Wells, this is something I was going to bring up, and.

Speaker 11 (01:07:13):
It may not be a popular opinion, but let me
get your take on this. I think, big picture, IU
is better off if they lose tomorrow because if they win,
they may have to well play Ohio State again. And
history will tell you that college football rematches of a
team go back to Alabama and Georgia when they played

(01:07:34):
for the title LSU Alabama, Oklahoma Nebraska way back in
the day. Rematches in the postseason of college football seldom
favor the team that won the first game. So it
would be well and good celebrate if IU wins tomorrow.
But then in the playoffs, you're already going to have
an Oregon team that's looking for a rematching some payback,
and then you'd also throw in an Ohio State team

(01:07:56):
looking for rematching payback. I just think it'd be hard
to beat Ohigh State twice, not taking anything away. I mean,
if you're better than them, just go out there and
beat them twice. I'm just saying history says it's awful
hard to do that. You'd hate to win that game
and throw a parade and hang a banner and next
thing you know, you see him again in the playoffs
and you lose.

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
All right, Listen, heygen I love my check from Indiana
University Blumittin, and you try to set me up. But
in all seriousness, I'm gonna put my jungeralistic hat on.
I actually agree with you on this.

Speaker 16 (01:08:27):
But the thing is, I think Ohio State is very
vulnerable right now. They have not played the game closer
than eighteen points to their first week game against.

Speaker 4 (01:08:37):
Texas, so they truly haven't been tested. I you went
on the road and be the Oregon team. They had
to go on the road and get an incredible touchdown
catch against Penn State to win. So I came from.
If you look at a vulnerability.

Speaker 16 (01:08:50):
Standpoint, Ohio State is more vulnerable right now than I
you because they don't know what it's like to play
in a close game. It's been it's been three months
as they played in a close game. But with that said, right,
it will be hard to be tohiose fight. And if
you're gonna lose once to them, let it be now
and get revenge in the college football playoffs and we're
gonna take a step forward on them college football playoffs.

(01:09:10):
If you're I you, I think you want to play
Old Miss. You want to get an Old Miss team
that it that it just lost with coach A L
s U.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
You want to It's like the NCLA tournament.

Speaker 16 (01:09:20):
You want to be able to avoid the better team
until the national championship game. So you want to play
the kind of the bracket game and hope you get
an easier role than the national title.

Speaker 11 (01:09:31):
Well, wells that you you brought up a great point,
as you always do. It's the same thing as in
uh in the March madness. Sometimes it's not who you beat,
it's who you didn't have to beat. You know what
I'm saying, teams you didn't have to play. Maybe there's
an upset somewhere else, or you caught a break as
far as the scheduling, And I guess a better way
to reframe it instead of saying, I use better off
if they lose. I'll say it like this, if they

(01:09:54):
lose tomorrow, it's not the end of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
Let's leave it at that right there.

Speaker 11 (01:09:57):
So there's bigger there's bigger fish to fry than just
saying you beat Ohio State to win and today's landscape
of the playoffs and what their ultimate goal is. Everything,
everything doesn't die with the loss tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
So it does. It does not off of that. Hey, John,
I know you do not have to.

Speaker 6 (01:10:16):
Kick me off.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
So, hey, what's up with that team? The other team
that plays in Lucas Oyo Stadium.

Speaker 5 (01:10:21):
Brother, they they're not getting to help they need with
the offensive line and defensive line. And certainly, I think
the head coach calls plays and I know that's the playbook,
but calls plays like he's got a Daniel Jones quarterback
that was in September and not to where he's been
compromised with that crack stick right now.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
I think that's all led to problems.

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
And you know, I think we look at Sunday as
if you don't get back on track and win for
the first time at Jacksonville since twenty fourteen.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
I mean, you can honestly look at this.

Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Team maybe getting the squeeze out of the AFC playoff picture.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
Ultimately, I mean this is one of those must.

Speaker 5 (01:10:59):
Win situations that absolutely mix that must win Sunday.

Speaker 16 (01:11:03):
Yeah, and then honestly, yeah, I mean you take a
couple of weeks ago, bro, it was about, Okay, everything
is perfect with this franchise, Daniel Jones are gonna set
himself up for a night's long term contract. Could no
more job questions about Chris Ballards general manager. You don't
make the playoffs and you have Carly Ertze in.

Speaker 4 (01:11:22):
Her first full year of having.

Speaker 16 (01:11:24):
Control with her sisters, you got to worry about what
the trickle down effect will be off of everything.

Speaker 11 (01:11:31):
Yeah, because that's what John and I talked about on
Sunday night about we thought foolishly perhaps we thought, oh no,
doubt gonna win in the vision and we were only
talking about the one seed and where the seating is.
And now not only is all that back on the table,
so too is job security if this thing really goes sideways,
I mean, is that discussion back in the mix as well.

Speaker 16 (01:11:52):
Oh, you have to think, because man, the reality is,
we know how this business works. You got to win
the say on and the fact Chris ballet A still
general manager after only being in a playoffs twice and
being hired in a winner of twenty seventeen. Doesn't that
is a rarity in professional sport that you keep a

(01:12:13):
job that long without having long term success.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
I mean, they're trying to run Mike Tomlin out of
Pittsburgh right now, and he hasn't had to lose the
record in nineteen years, but the fans are chanting fire
Mike Tomlin at hind Stadium.

Speaker 5 (01:12:29):
What's going to be weird about this is, let's just say,
for example, the negative health continues to happen, and you
look at the general manager and you look at the
head coach. But everybody tells me, well, they're going to
have to rebuild. They don't have the assets right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Now to rebuild.

Speaker 5 (01:12:44):
You've got to reboot and then go on with others
that are probably going to go, well, I don't know
if I want this guy. Maybe that's not my quarterback.
It is going to be a really awkward situation. And
that's why I think this is going to be the
worst of scenarios, because it's almost like it would have
been better off they've been bad the entire year and
not teased everybody in the first.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
Two months or blown it all up back in.

Speaker 5 (01:13:06):
January, as opposed to fading out the way they have
recently for the remainder of the season. Again, that even
magnifies more of the importance of that game on Sunday
in Jacksonville.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
Mike, without a doubt.

Speaker 16 (01:13:19):
I mean, listen, Hagen was a foot taller, had more
here the last night.

Speaker 4 (01:13:26):
The last time that the coach beat.

Speaker 16 (01:13:28):
The Daguars down in Dakonville and Andrew Luk as quarterback
and last thing.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
And I'll let you guys run. And I think am
Harrison can agree with me on this one. I hate
we're not spending any time talking about the Pacers right now.
It sucks that, you know, this team was a tyree
Halliburton's town or two away from potentially winning the NBA
title and we're not even they're one of the worst

(01:13:54):
things in the NBA. We're not able to talk about
them after such a great run that they may June.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
Yeah, that's why this has to be a gap year.
This has to be the gap year. You gotta jump
right back on next year.

Speaker 11 (01:14:08):
Think of the Spurs when the Spurs had David Robinson
out for a year and that the draft pick they got.
And look how I mean you you can make Hay
down the road, but right now.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
You got to you gotta pay the consequences.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
So I as long as aint Mike, as long as
I have to watch that Robinson earl shooting another jump shot.
I mean he can go in there and rebound stuff,
but man, his jumpers broke ast.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
Mike, I don't know what I can do with it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
Stay warm, and hey, it's gonna be a hell of
a time in downtown.

Speaker 16 (01:14:37):
Indianapolis for sports tomorrow. Man, half fun and stay safe. Hagan,
keep your ass out of trouble this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Come on.

Speaker 11 (01:14:45):
I will try my best, but you're on speed dial
if something happens.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Yeah, Mike, appreciate your brother.

Speaker 4 (01:14:51):
Be good fellas.

Speaker 5 (01:14:52):
Mike Wells of ESPN Radio. It's Chrisagan. Real's we go
to break on the topic.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
Amp.

Speaker 11 (01:14:58):
I know you guy a Mitchell. You gotta be happy,
I mean, fresh start and had a huge game.

Speaker 10 (01:15:04):
Yeah, man, I was.

Speaker 14 (01:15:05):
I was excited to see ad Man finally get hisself together,
get his feet up under him, man, because I know
mentally how tough it was for him to be in
a situation like that, to think that your future is
one place and then overnight you wake up and it's
like you're like Chris Paul, You're like you're out of here,

(01:15:25):
and you're like, what, I didn't realize it? So now
it was a great thing because I know, like in
talking to Reggie, Reggie put a lot of time in
to mentally get him prepared, to get him to become
and working on him to be a professional, which a
lot of these people don't understand how difficult that is
to come into the NFL as a rookie, especially as

(01:15:47):
a wide receiver in a situation like this, and you
don't You have these expectations and you don't meet those expectations.
So I was super, super proud of ad Man because
he bounced back, and you know, behind the scenes he
was happy for himself.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Uh, Tian Paris, you gonna hang around more?

Speaker 10 (01:16:03):
Yeah? Man, What I got to do is Friday had

Speaker 11 (01:17:22):
Here, John, I hadn't been with you in a while,
you haven't I know, I was back in Alabama and
I wanted to say thank you and to all your
listeners who reached out to me when my mom passed away. So, yeah,
it's been rough, but it's always good to hear from
folks and see him in person. And you and aunt
both reached out so appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (01:17:39):
Yeah, I know it's been been tough. I could tell
when you called me on your way back there. I
don't know if I've ever heard you, and rightly so,
as emotional as you were on that particular evening.

Speaker 11 (01:17:52):
Everybody knows I have no feelings. I have no heart
when it comes to my mom, I certainly do. Yeah,
I have no doubt about that. Anne Paris is here
as well. And the holiday cheer you're trying to spread.
To tell my buddy again how they can get involved
by them, hold on, say go ahead and head them on.
There you go go ahead, There we go.

Speaker 14 (01:18:12):
It's the am parents and first of all, man again
talking about your mother, Bro, I could I told you
I can't even understand or even relate.

Speaker 10 (01:18:21):
All I could do is give you an air hug
at the.

Speaker 14 (01:18:23):
Time, brother, because I could in that moment it was
really hard to see someone who's a mama's boy right
that lose their best friend.

Speaker 10 (01:18:34):
So that's tough.

Speaker 14 (01:18:35):
And when we talk about like the things of giving
back and being in a philanthropic space, that's again part
of my story is what I had to go through
and I shared it yesterday when I was on with Jake,
But brother just came up to me and was like, Man,
you almost made me cry talking about my story and
the part of it that people say, well, amp, why

(01:18:56):
do you do what you do? Most people don't understand
trauma could either do one or two things. It could
eat you or you eat it. And so in my space, man,
at thirteen, you know my story. At thirteen, I watched
my brother get shot in the head by my stepfather,
and at the time, my mother lost her son, her husband,

(01:19:19):
and also she thought that she was going to lose
her youngest son, which is me mentally because she experienced
the same trauma that I did when we watched that together.
So as from thirteen years old to the person that
I am today, that is.

Speaker 10 (01:19:36):
What makes me stronger. And I tell people all the time,
I know a lot of.

Speaker 14 (01:19:41):
Strong, physically strong men and women, Jay, but at the
end of the day, my mother is the strongest person
I've ever met in my entire life.

Speaker 10 (01:19:50):
I grew up with the Bible.

Speaker 14 (01:19:51):
So at that moment, you know, we're taught to retaliate
and get back. And my mother was like, no, amp,
I don't care what you want me to do. My
Bible teaches me you don't do an eye for an eye.

Speaker 10 (01:20:04):
So as I.

Speaker 14 (01:20:05):
Grew up and I started realizing how thankful I am
with the privilege that I have.

Speaker 10 (01:20:11):
Like sitting here right.

Speaker 14 (01:20:12):
Now, I look at this as a privilege. You know,
some people come up to us say, man, you guys
are amazing. You do this, you do that, you do this,
But I was one of those products that you wasn't
supposed to make it. So to be in a position
where I can say, I can use my influence to
be on this show, but I also can use my
influence to get the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And when I

(01:20:34):
look up at that pylon and I see the amp
Paris Foundation, that's not representing me, that's representing all of
those that come from humble beginnings, white black, purple green.
So to influence people with what I know is one
of the most impactful magnets sports music.

Speaker 10 (01:20:53):
So that's why I'm thankful.

Speaker 14 (01:20:55):
To have like you guys are Reggie, Wayne, George Hill,
the Pacers, Coats, Motor Speedway, come alongside of us and
give back to our community.

Speaker 10 (01:21:04):
Because as one of my slogans is, we are one.

Speaker 14 (01:21:06):
So my toy giveaway is not just about me, It's
about all of us people that are hearing this. I
just got a text from someone telling me Jy, you
was going to the restroom. Hey, I want to make
a donation. I just heard you on JMV. I want
to be able to do my part. I don't have
a lot, but whatever I have, I want to be
able to give to you. So that's when you know,
you know, these kind of moments are impactful because people

(01:21:29):
are listening to this show every day, the biggest sports
show in the state of Indiana, and we're talking sports.

Speaker 10 (01:21:35):
But we also can't just stick to sports.

Speaker 14 (01:21:38):
So you know, if you can help somebody, it ain't
got to be the Amparison regguaying toy giveaway. Help somebody
in your neighborhood, help the person down the street. But
if you do have money at the end of the
month you want to donate it, you can donate it
to the as Foundation to give back to.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
Toys, and that's what I do.

Speaker 11 (01:21:57):
Like today at lunch, I saw a lady, older lady,
she's she's busting her tail waiting on tables. I'm like,
you know what, it's time to double that tip today
because you know she's.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
Out there working for some other folks.

Speaker 11 (01:22:09):
Yeah, and that that little extra that's going to come
in handy this time of year, especially for some of
you guys going no.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
Doubt about that amp hangout.

Speaker 5 (01:22:15):
Whether U's okay, it's Sam Harris right here, he is

Speaker 13 (01:23:00):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:23:00):
Hey, I see my friend Doug over there, and the
lovely Lisa in the house.

Speaker 11 (01:23:05):
Hey do you like uh? Do you like Lisa's christmasweater?
Lisa Rock's sweater. I said it's a nice Christmas sweater
and she said it's an eye You want to say that?

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
She said, it's an eye you sweater. I don't want
to finish. She's mad at me because I think it's
a Christmas Lisa can rock a sweater?

Speaker 13 (01:23:19):
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
Well she can, but it's also a Christmas sweater in
my opinion.

Speaker 5 (01:23:24):
I love Lisa nuggers here. Chris Hagen is also here.
An Paris is here as well, and we've got on
the Andy Moore Automotive Group Potlin. We gott to hustle
him in here because he's going to be doing the
double dip. I am so stinking proud of my man
Don Fisher, even though I know it's going to compromise
our our table time later on tonight because my man's

(01:23:46):
got to get some rest.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
But the double Dip for Don Fisher coming up tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (01:23:50):
Hoops and football and Don's on the Andy Moore Automotive
Group potline.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
My brother, well done, well done, well, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
You, John, I appreciate it. I'm like, I'm like the
boys in the Morning show who wanted me to be
carried over from Gainbridge Field House to UH to Lucas
Oil Stadium on a on a Pharaohs uh, the Pharaohs
from the Egyptians back in the day.

Speaker 6 (01:24:16):
They want to be carried over there through that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
But I wouldn't get on that thing anyway, number one
because they probably drop it, and number two, it would
be too cold.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
To do that. So yes, I'm going to try and
get a better ride of that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:29):
Trust me.

Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
I am.

Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
I am. I am thrilled you. And I talked about
this along with your incredibly lovely and awesome wife Susie
last week when we were doing our table thing, and
we we kind of talked about, you know, whether or
not you were thinking about doing it, So it was
just kind of how you feel right now as far
as the reason behind it, because you thought maybe at
the time you're going to split it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Yeah, I mean, here's the thing, John, You're always to
do something like that like this when you have too
awesome to do in the same day, even if it
was just two basketball games. The voice takes a beating
in those situations, especially when you're my age. But I
went through last week and did the Friday night football game,

(01:25:13):
and of course I got about five hours sleep after that,
got up the next morning, and then did a basketball
game at eleven o'clock, the game at for Indiana down
in Bloomington, So and I passed those two ball games
with flying colors. So I think I can handle this.
I'm going to get a good about an hour and
a half or two hour break in this matchup. But

(01:25:35):
at the same time, it does give you a little
bit of rest that I think it can handle it.
If I can't, somebody will step in. If you know
what I mean.

Speaker 11 (01:25:44):
Well, Fish, what you want to do is between games,
just have a couple of beers relaxed for a second.
I text on this. I saw him the Big Ten
Network the other night on the IU basketball game. They
put him up on the camerage on it. I don't
know if you saw this. They were singing his praises,
and once again I'm reminded that Don is too handsome
for radio and I'm too ugly for TV. But people

(01:26:07):
are well aware, not just here don, they're well aware
of the plight ahead of you. Two huge games. And
I was talking to some folks when I was down
in Bloomington earlier this week to do some interviews, and
I literally said, not just blowing smoke, I said the
person I'm happiest for about all this with the football
team as you, for all the years you've put in
and way back when before Signetty had even coached a

(01:26:30):
single game for you, you were telling John and I
in the preseason. You were telling us how excited you
were about him as a head coach and about what
kind of expectations you had, and you were the first
one to say it. You've been there forever. So I'm
excited for you, my friend, and I know you're going
to enjoy the call.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
I am going to enjoy it, There's no doubt about that, Chris.
I've looked forward to this now for a while, and
obviously I didn't know what was going to happen for
sure this year, but I had a good feeling about it.
After we'd Oregon at Oregon this year, I thought, man, uh,
this team's got a chance to run the table here
and in the regular season, and that's exactly what they did.

(01:27:09):
So all I can tell you if this juncture is
I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
You know, even if I couldn't do both, I could
still do the football game. And I would do the
football game because I've always given football the leeway when
it before basketball seasons, because back in the day when
Indiana wasn't playing great football and everybody wanted the football
season to be over with so basketball could get started.
I've never felt that way, and I've always thought football

(01:27:36):
kind of has been the redheaded stepchild of Indiana.

Speaker 7 (01:27:39):
Hey, whoa, whoa whoa redheaded stepchild?

Speaker 3 (01:27:45):
Yes it is, you're about to get canceled done.

Speaker 4 (01:27:52):
Whoa?

Speaker 3 (01:27:54):
Okay, carry on as you were.

Speaker 11 (01:27:56):
You've built up enough good uh a good credibility that
I'll let that slot once.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
Well, I won't ever say it again.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
Christ Hey, please do it again. The next time you
go to the hard table. I'm bringing hand until we
can do that again.

Speaker 15 (01:28:09):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
No, but.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
I've always done, I've always done. I've never I've never
given up a football game for a basketball game because
it's the end of the season and you just don't
do that it just makes it look bad for the program.
And so I've never done that. In fact, I've missed
a couple of trips to Hawaii with the basketball team
because of it over the years. So that's that's lamentable.
That's lamentable, but it is I just look at it

(01:28:38):
from this perspective alone. That's the way to do it.
That's a professional way to do it, and that's what
it's all about.

Speaker 5 (01:28:46):
It is Don Fisher, Voice of the Hoosias, and I
you in Ohio State eight o'clock tomorrow night, so I
mean seven p your coverage coming up with AU football
coming up tomorrow evening too. And before that, I you
basketball were Louisville and the Hoosiers and Gambridge Fieldhouse. I'll
get to that in a second, but I want to
tell you, I don't know if you're listening.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
Earlier.

Speaker 5 (01:29:05):
DJ Jones was on the show former tied into Ohio State,
whose son is a really good linebacker for IU, Isaiah Jones,
and we were talking about that entire dynamic, and I
think among the stories of this game coming up tomorrow night, Dawn,
that is one of the best whole how all that
went down, and certainly somebody that has been a part

(01:29:27):
of the Ohio State program that has a son now
in the IU program, and the whole evolution of it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
It's a great story.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Oh, there's no question about it. I don't even think.
I don't think Isaac was even They didn't even recruit him,
did they, or maybe they talked to him briefly.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
They did not.

Speaker 5 (01:29:45):
They didn't. They did not recruit him, and I think
that I don't. I think they were a little sore
about that at the beginning too. I think they feel
better about it now considering they'd probably like to have
him now, but back then, I think they're a little
bit sore.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
Yeah, yeah, Well, whatever the case Isaac is, I'll tell
you what, Isaiah Jones is really a good football player.
And I just think he's a class act. I had
a chance to interview him this year, and who's your profile.
I just think he's a young man that came to Indiana,
that Indiana gave him an opportunity, and man, has he

(01:30:20):
taken advantage of it and just been an incredible source
for this football team. Because he's come in last year
coming off the bench most of the time. He's did
the same this year. But when they've gone to a
three linebacker, you know, situation. Defensively, he's been the third
guy in every single time, and he's made play after
play after play this season. Just a terrific player and

(01:30:43):
a guy that's going to get his role changed next
year because he'll be the leader of the defensive side
of the football along with Elijah Harding, because most of
those guys, both those guys will be back.

Speaker 11 (01:30:53):
Hey, Fish, I'm a proud Heisman Trophy voter, and our
deadline to vote comes up after this championship games, and
I've heard a lot of people talking about, well, this
big ten championship game will decide who wins the Heisman.
I don't have that theory. I don't think you based
your vote on one game. I look at the whole
body of work. You know, this will be thirteen games

(01:31:15):
for both teams. Not that I'm gonna let you tell
me what to do, but what's your opinion on that.
Do you think you can base Heisman Trophy on one
game or do you look at the whole scope of
what these two players have done over the course of
the season.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
Well, I think you have to look at the whole scope.
But at the same time. Both of these guys have
had terrific years. I don't think there's any doubt about that.
And at this juncture, I can't say Fernando isn't the
best quarterback. I think he is the best quarterback in
the country this year, but that doesn't mean that I'm
right about it. All I can tell you is this

(01:31:51):
game will be a deciding factor for a lot of people.
I mean it will if Ohio State wins this ball game,
and say in place terrific and he's played terrific all year.
I mean his percentage, his accuracy has been phenomenal. I
don't I think he's got the receivers have helped him
pretty dramatically, but they've also helped the receivers on Indiana's

(01:32:13):
team have helped Fernando pretty dramatically, as we know. So honestly,
I think both are very talented guys. I think Fernando,
in my opinion, I think he's the one guy that
has been the difference maker for Indiana this year in
many of these ballgames. Not so much last week, but
no question, or maybe it was yeah, yeah, last week

(01:32:35):
because I didn't think he played well against Purdue. But
that's only the only game this year that he hasn't
performed up to expectations in my mind, and if he
hasn't in other ballgames, it's because he didn't have the protection.
So I just look at Fernando as one of those guys.
I think he's definitely an NFL prospect and one of
those guys that's going to be drafted very high, if

(01:32:55):
not in the you know, as a quarterback in the
first round, I would I would be shocked if somebody
would take him in the first rounde if not the
first pick as a quarterback. So all my I just
point that out simply because I'm biased because I've watched
this guy play the entire season. I know Sayan's very good,
but he's a red shirt freshman. Into my mind, you

(01:33:15):
always give that to the guy that has performed the best.
It's a tie, and without doubt, in my mind, it's
a tie right now.

Speaker 5 (01:33:23):
So don Fisher voice to the Hoosiers double dip tomorrow
with obviously IU Ohio State Big Ten title game Lucas
will Stadium eight o'clock seven peak coverage right here coming
up tomorrow evening. But you get your afternoon started at
Gambridge Field House with Louisville and IU. So I'm gonna
be down there with you, and I'm gonna come by

(01:33:43):
and see you a little bit because I need to
see from Darren Devrees's crew a little bit of rebounding
and a little bit more shot making than what we witnessed.
I think earlier in the week, did we not at
the Barn in Minneapolis?

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
I think on the road of the Big Ten is
a lot different.

Speaker 5 (01:34:00):
But there were some disappointment surrounding certainly what took place
earlier this week in Minneapolis.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Well, nobody was more disappointed than Darren Debrees. I can
tell you that I understood that the paint came off
the walls in the locker room after the game. That
stuff all I can tell you. I know he was
not a happy camper about what he saw out there.
They just didn't look as cohesive offensively number one and
then number two. I didn't think their defensive play was

(01:34:27):
as strong as it has been so far this year,
either in that ball game. Part of it, maybe I
don't know. You know, it's far be it for me
to sit there and try to cycle analyzed college athletes
and how they approach games. I watched this team play
thirteen times this year now, seven or eight games in
the regular season, the three in Puerto Rico, and the

(01:34:50):
two exhibition games prior to the season getting started. And
I've really been impressed with how Darren Debris has coached
these guys, how these guys have responded his coaching and
what they been able to do. But I thought this
was the first time this year we've seen them maybe
not as focused as you should be, and maybe looking
ahead a little bit. And I don't want to say
that for sure, because I don't know that, but it

(01:35:12):
just kind of looked like they just didn't have the
same fire in them as I've seen in these other ballgames.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Well, Fash, you don't have to say it, but I'll
say it.

Speaker 11 (01:35:20):
Both Louisville and IU were looking ahead to Saturday's showdown
ranked opponents undefeated.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
It was going to be such a great storyline.

Speaker 11 (01:35:28):
We got IU and Ohio State undefeated for the Big
Ten title. We're going to sit here and have this
undefeated showdown between IU and Louisville. Up the road, We've
got undefeated Purdue and top ten team Iowa State. I
believe they're still undefeated. So it just had to happen
that way both teams and granted, as John said, Minnesota
can be a tricky place to play. We know about

(01:35:50):
going into mud Walton Marina in Arkansas can be a
tough place to play. So no fault in that, but
it just seems like maybe a little bit of a
peek ahead and looking forward to see how AYU responds
to that first loss, because I mean, you can't get
a tougher test in this situation, so you don't want
that to compound it back to back losses. So I

(01:36:10):
think all is forgiven if you show up tomorrow and
turn that into a w well.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
I don't think there's any doubt about that because this
is going to be the toughest team that they've played
thus far. Everybody saw what Louisville did to Indiana last
year down to the Bahamas and how that got the
season off to a roaring start for the Hoosiers. And
I say roaring in the sense of how the fan
base reacted to it, because it was not pretty and
it was not a very good performance to say the least.

(01:36:38):
But this Louisville team is really good. They're averaging over
ninety points a ballgame offensively and they are shooting lights
out most of the time. They didn't against Arkansas in
the first half, but then the second half they lit
them up. And still they were down seventeen I think
at halftime, and or twenty at one point in the
first half, and then seventeen at halftime and came back

(01:36:59):
roaring back, but could not close the gap. In the
final minutes of that ball game. I think they were
up or close, getting close to by four or five
points down and just couldn't finish it. But give Louisville credit.
Pat Kelsey's done a remarkable job with that program. And
you can do it in basketball. Heck, for a lot
easier you can do in football, But in basketball, kelsey

(01:37:21):
turnaround of that program in one year's time was pretty
remarkable in itself.

Speaker 5 (01:37:25):
It is Don Fisher voice of the Hoosiers. So I'm
assuming there's no our table with us tonight, right.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
There is not. We will be staying here at home
and we will be having dinner with the lovely Susie
here in about forty five minutes or so fifty minutes
what usually she says. We'll be ready in about fifteen,
and it's about twenty five after she's.

Speaker 3 (01:37:50):
So I just don't give you.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
I won't give you a time I won't give you
a timeframe on it. To be honest, I.

Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
Should Hi gotscha.

Speaker 11 (01:37:56):
Well, I just hope tonight don that you get treated
like a red headed step try because that's what you deserve.

Speaker 1 (01:38:05):
They do.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
I deserve that shout. I deserve it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:38:10):
I got a message from Mike Kemper last week and
he wants to start joining us too. But man, I
don't have to sit here and talk about golf the
entire time, do I? If Kemper shows up at our
table in the future, good lord.

Speaker 2 (01:38:23):
Well, well he's got to here. Here's what christ needs
to know. Kepper's got a red headed step or.

Speaker 3 (01:38:29):
Not he does.

Speaker 2 (01:38:32):
Kepper's got a red headed daughter, not a step child daughter.

Speaker 5 (01:38:36):
Yeah, and uh yeah, it's it's interesting too because I
think everybody there's no redhead in the fam. Yeah, that's interesting,
but because only he's bulling up before. Yeah, I don't
know how that happened.

Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
But now I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:38:57):
I don't think. I don't think Kemper's gonna want to
go to dinner with us.

Speaker 5 (01:39:01):
Well, I just it's okay. I just don't want to
have to sit there and talk about golf the entire time.
That's all I was asking.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
So, yeah, well, you know, Keeper and I are sitting
there at the table, We're going to talk some golf,
you know, no doubt.

Speaker 5 (01:39:15):
Well he's a great dude, and I like his wife
a great deal as well, and his entire family pretty awesome.
But now we'll get back on track whenever you get
past this. But I'll come down and see you coming
up tomorrow. I'm gonna go with Matt Gowin's at Triple
A and check out IU and I'll come over and
see it. But congratulations on the double dip. I know
tomorrow is going to be very special for you. It's

(01:39:35):
really cool.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
Yeah, it is really cool. Let me give you one
little tidbit. It's David against Theliath tomorrow night. I can
tell you that Indiana, prior to Indiana's little short spurt
with buck Or in charge of the running backs back
in nineteen eighty and seven, eighty eight, and eighty and
ninety back in that era, they won three, won two

(01:39:57):
games and tied one against Ohio State prior to that,
but Buckeyes had beaten Indiana thirty one times before Indiana
got that win in nineteen eighty seven, and after since
that little three year stint, in that four year period
where they had two wins at a tie, Indiana's lost
thirty six straight stints on bow.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Yeah, it is unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (01:40:21):
As we mentioned, Don, and I've talked to a lot
of people about this too.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
This is a stinking new era.

Speaker 5 (01:40:26):
It's a new era, a new landscape, so you know
who knows what can and will take place.

Speaker 3 (01:40:33):
It's not like it used to be.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
Yeah, it's not right.

Speaker 1 (01:40:37):
It's not like it used to be.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
Our best at Susie too.

Speaker 5 (01:40:40):
We'll get back on track at our table, coming up
here soon when it fits the schedule, Okay, buddy, all.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
Right, guys, I appreciate you having me as always, and
Chris again, I apologize.

Speaker 11 (01:40:50):
It's just all right, Fish, lovey brother, you know that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
Thanks doub.

Speaker 5 (01:40:57):
We'll see tomorrow see Don Fisher, Voice of the Hoosiers.

Speaker 3 (01:41:02):
Right there, Hey, James, is Bruce still on hold? Right here?
He is all right? Bruce joins us A two three
nine ten seventy.

Speaker 5 (01:41:09):
I think Bruce has a question for am Paris regarding
the holiday season. Bruce, go ahead, you're on with Bru,
you're on with AMP and Chris and John. How are you, Bruce?

Speaker 8 (01:41:19):
I'm good, brother, No.

Speaker 17 (01:41:21):
I was listening to you guys talked to AMP earlier
and I've not had the pleasure to meet in them,
but I love what he's doing, and as you know,
I use music to try and help those in need
in our community through concerts for a Cause. So I
wanted to let him know that I'm going to go
to his website and make a donation of a thousand
dollars on behalfy with Concerts for a Cause. And secondly,

(01:41:44):
I just I know you have a lot of listeners
that are friends of mine, and I hope some of
them will step up and go to his website as
well and make donations so we can help some more
kids this holiday season. So if we need to give,
get that website out again for a hopefully some guys
that go online and kind of join.

Speaker 6 (01:42:03):
The challenge here.

Speaker 14 (01:42:05):
Well, first of all, Bruce, I appreciate that, sir, more
than what you know, concert for calls. Whatever I can
do to help your organization, please let me know. But
that website is Amparis Foundation dot org.

Speaker 10 (01:42:20):
It's a M P H A R R. I foundation
dot org.

Speaker 14 (01:42:24):
And again, man, I appreciate that because that's what is
when I come on and I speak and do interviews
like this, this is what the purpose is all about.
It's not necessarily about me coming on and saying, hey,
I need two dollars or I need two hundred thousand dollars.
It's really about spreading the word of kindness, and in
this day and age, during this time of the year, man,
we just need to spread more love. So I love

(01:42:46):
you for this, My men and the families are going
to appreciate it even more.

Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
My pleasure, my friend. Glad to do it and keep
doing what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
It's awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:42:54):
Bruce saw great, dude, Thank you very much.

Speaker 11 (01:42:57):
Bruce sits around, hold and listen to us talk patiently, waits,
and he doesn't say, Hey, I'm gonna give you fifty dollars.
He drops the grand Oh. Man, that's what I was
swell time.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
Listen, Bro, that's that's all you over there, man, that's
your voice.

Speaker 10 (01:43:12):
It's all us again.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
I got a small part.

Speaker 7 (01:43:14):
I had a small part a half first, like it
was worth five dollars of that.

Speaker 10 (01:43:18):
Listen, bro.

Speaker 14 (01:43:18):
When they added they said redheaded step child was gonna
be here, and I knew we were gonna get some
people in the.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Building when you heard that. All right, the Bear, Chris
Pholick Fox on the other side, Hey, this is right
up here. I'm ready. I'm ready because he's a sports wagerer.

Speaker 5 (01:43:33):
We're gonna get into the Big Ten championship game and
all these other games that could cause a great deal
of chaos and the playoff landscape of college football.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
The Bear is gonna join us.

Speaker 5 (01:43:43):
On the other side, we're at a great place called
tie Breakers on Mass alf. We would love to see you,

Oil Stadium, bud Light Blue Friday, thank you for joining us,
Chris Hagen and Paris I'm JMV and joining us now

(01:44:39):
the Andy Moore Automotive Group.

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
Potline part of the big noon kickoff.

Speaker 5 (01:44:44):
Which I'm assuming it's going to be moved to the
big incredibly big time nighttime kickoff coming up tomorrow night
here for what is going to be a Big ten
championship game, at least for Hoo's your fans of the
ages i U in Ohio state, you know him. Simple
put us the bear. Chris Felicka Fox joins us. Now,

(01:45:04):
Hello Chris, how are you?

Speaker 15 (01:45:06):
I'm doing well? Yeah you have big six thirty Eastern
kickoff doesn't quite have the same ring, but yeah, yeah,
six thirty six. Their men an hour and a half
high prior to the game tomorrow will be uh, we'll
be getting with we'll be gone from Lucas Oil.

Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Hey, hey, Chris and your wildest dreams, did you ever
think you'd be talking of a game of this magnitude
and telling everybody about the IU football program?

Speaker 3 (01:45:28):
Come on, seriously, No, not at.

Speaker 15 (01:45:31):
All, and it's fair to say, and I think it's
accurate to say it's the biggest game in IU football history.
I mean your years looking at a team that can
go thirteen and oh can win the Big Ten Championship,
can beat Ohio State and go into the Cohole Football Playoff.
It's the number one team in the country. It's it's
pretty it's pretty amazing. I can remember talking to my

(01:45:52):
old colleague ly Corso about his time coaching at IU,
with all the gimmicks that he would pull at his
coaching show, and he loved time in Bloomington. I know
when you finally got there last year to do a
show with Gabe, he was excited. And it's great to
see that they're one of the big success stories of
this era of college football. With that il on the

(01:46:12):
portal and bring in coach Sig and the players that
he did, it's been an absolute success.

Speaker 11 (01:46:19):
Hey, Chris, not only am I named Chris, but I
also work for Fox Sports here on the TV side,
but now also on radio row. Every year at the
Super Bowl, I have your buddy Jeff Schwartz on. He's
always great, So it's fun to listen to you guys
on bear bets. That's a must listen for not only
sports fans, but particularly sports gamblers.

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
So John over here, he's.

Speaker 11 (01:46:39):
Allowing me to take control of this interview because I'm
with you. I love this weekend. I love this weekend.
I love looking at numbers. And this is what's curious
to me about this matchup you have. You know, good
teams win, great teams cover. IU has not covered as
much as they've won. But Ohio State a public team
where usually those lines get skewed and you're paying a

(01:47:02):
premium for an Ohio State or a Michigan or Alabama. Somehow,
I believe, according to my numbers, is Ohio State ten
one and one against the spread.

Speaker 3 (01:47:12):
That's unbelievable to me.

Speaker 11 (01:47:13):
And that number has dropped from the opening line here,
So it's like almost like they're begging you to take
Ohio State and lay the four.

Speaker 15 (01:47:21):
Yeah, ten one and one or eleven in one, depending
on the closing number that you had. And I forget
what game game it was, maybe the Rutgers game. It
might it might have been, but it's amazing they can't
make these higher numbers high enough in a lot of instances.
The same thing with Texas Tech Texas TEXA eleven and

(01:47:41):
one against the number as well, they can't. I mean,
the usually way when you're a big favorite sharp better
is like to go the other way and take the
dog and inflated lines. But this year you've had a
couple of the favorites there with Texas that seemingly cover
what we and some money on Indiana this week, and

(01:48:03):
some respected bets have come in on IU out in
Vegas and speaking with with John Murray at the West
Gat super Book and Chris Andrews out there at the
South Boy Lake. I you started the week it's six
or so, and now it's come down to a four
four and a half or so. And I bet in
the look ahead line a couple of weeks ago, I

(01:48:24):
bet Ohio State minus three and a half expecting an
opportunity to see this number run to six six and
a half and potentially opened myself for a nice middle.
So that theory kind of worked out for me. But yeah,
it seems like a majority of the the majority of
the money, the majority of the smart players right now
seem to like IU plus the points.

Speaker 11 (01:48:45):
What's funny is and you talked about this not making
the spread big enough. You remember when the Patriots flirted
with perfection and they were undefeated, and some books just
stopped posting numbers on the Patriots because no matter how
big they made it, they just smashed them week in
and week out.

Speaker 15 (01:49:01):
Yeah, nine nineteen twenty one. Whatever ye do they do,
they couldn't make may make them make the numbers big enough.
And they always say the points spreads are great equalizer.
But when you can't, you can't book the game. High
en up. It's it's very usually these things kind of day,
even out throughout the year, but it just didn't happen.

Speaker 11 (01:49:20):
And the way that gambling, like degenerates like me who
was gambling illegally back in the day, was always just
points spread. It was just exactly that's fine. There's there's
a statute of limitations, I think Chris there. It used
to just be the traditionalist you would bet on the game,
you would bet on maybe on the total. But now

(01:49:41):
I mean, we can wait after the first drive and
we can bet on there's going to be an updated spread.
You can bet on you know, prop bets on players,
and we've seen some trouble because of that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:52):
Do you do you look for your bets?

Speaker 11 (01:49:54):
Do you are you like me and you make your
bet and that's your bet, or do you do you
watch some of these games after you've seen a couple
of dry wives, or maybe an underdog jumps up seven
to ten nothing, Do you make any wagers matter?

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
Is that kind of fools goal?

Speaker 4 (01:50:07):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:50:07):
I think a good number of my wagers now are live.
I like getting a little bit more information and being
able to determine which way game might be going. And
you talked about some of these other derivative markets. One
of the best bets that I like this week, I've
bet under twenty four and a half in the SEC game,

(01:50:28):
twenty four and a half points in the first half.
I just think the way that game is going to
play out. You've got the Alabama team, which really has
been struggling offensively lately. Second half of that first meeting
with Georgia, they made Georgie kind of figured about a
little bit. Georgia's d's gotten better as the year has
gone on. The Bulldogs are going to be without their

(01:50:48):
starting center Drew Bobo. By Bobo's son, I think they're
going to have trouble blocking Bigton Keenan there and that
Alabama defensive line, so I think we could see a
pretty low scoring, uneventful half in Atlanta. So yeah, twenty
four and a half as a total in the first
half in that game. I went under there.

Speaker 5 (01:51:06):
So Chris Felinka the Bear Fox Sports the Big eight
o'clock kickoff coming up tomorrow nights on Fox. You can
catch him and all of his friends, which is always awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
How do you feel this game is going to go.

Speaker 5 (01:51:21):
With IU in Ohio State tomorrow night, Chris, I.

Speaker 15 (01:51:25):
Think what happened at Austin earlier this year really validated Indiana.
I think after the playoff last year and after the
game in Columbus last year, I think people will kind
of still a little bit out on Indiana, a little
little bit of freshion. And I think the big drive
in Iowa to get the wind really the game at

(01:51:46):
Oults and beating Wargan the top five team in the cartry,
and then the drive again and said, I think a
lot of people are Okay, this is more. They just now, ah,
they played as off schedule and of course they're going
to win the games. They they have great wide receivers
at a quarterback who if IU wins is going to

(01:52:06):
win the Heisman Trophy, I ultimately think push comes to
shove tomorrow Ohio State does win because I think Ohio
State is still just better than that Indiana. I think
you saw in a couple of the games this year,
Indiana did have a trouble running the ball at times
against some of the better teams on their schedule. But

(01:52:27):
I will say this, I wonder if there's an opportunity
for Indiana to start fast tomorrow night. You've got an
Ohio State team coming off of the game against Michigan
where they put every emotional egg in the basket and
winning that game and breaking that streak and they finally
did doubt. People are going to be talking about them
repeating as national champions, and they know, regardless of what

(01:52:51):
happens to tomorrow night, they're going to get a first
round by and then the playoffs, and their focus is.

Speaker 1 (01:52:56):
Going to be on repeating.

Speaker 2 (01:52:57):
And this game kind of is in the middle.

Speaker 15 (01:53:01):
And I'm not saying that they're looking past it or
overlooking Indiana, but I mean, you're are still twenty twenty
one year old, nineteen year old kids who have a
finite amount of energy and it's human nature to ups
and downs throughout the year. So maybe there's a chance
here for IU to get up on Ohio State early

(01:53:22):
in this game, and that certainly could change the complexion
of things.

Speaker 11 (01:53:26):
Chris, My unpopular opinion here in Indianapolis was that big picture,
IU is better off if they lose tomorrow, if they're
thinking making a run in the playoffs, because like you said,
as tough for IU, I think to beat Ohio State anyway,
but to go out there and beat them twice would
be extra difficult. And also you're already going to have
an Oregon team in the bracket that's looking for some

(01:53:47):
peg back against the Hoosiers as well. So I don't
think all is lost if they lose tomorrow night. And
like I said, a very unpopular opinion here, no, they're.

Speaker 15 (01:53:55):
Going to get a bye regardless of what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:53:58):
Tomorrow.

Speaker 15 (01:53:58):
Is just gonna be a question of whether they fall
to three or to four. You just have to try.
And look, I actually think you're kind of right there.
If you lose, you're going to go to the bottom
of the bracket, and I think that potentially would mean
maybe a second round game with either Ole Miss or

(01:54:21):
a group of five team or BYU there as an
eleven seed, I would love their chances in that game.
So I think if you're playing the long game, maybe
you do have a better path to get to the
national title game if you are to say the three seed,
and you can avoid the top which is going to
have the probably the SEC champion, you would have Ohio State.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
Maybe you have.

Speaker 15 (01:54:47):
An eight and nine game with Notre Dame in Oklahoma.
Like yeah, I think the bottom could be the place
to be. But again, you want to win a you
want to win a Big Cat champion. If you've got
an opportunity to go down as the best team in
the out of all history and winning tomorrow night, I
think is certainly they're they're focus and they're they're not
They're not thinking of that inside that football.

Speaker 5 (01:55:07):
Don't be prompt, hey, Chris, before I let you go here,
what has to happen coming up this weekend for Notre
Dame fans to be sweating things out?

Speaker 15 (01:55:15):
I think Notre dth fans are. We should be sweating
things out regardless of b BYU winning. Absolutely docks Notre
Dame and Miami both at UH because BYU would be
the big talk champion, and then both Texas Tech and
BYU would go to the playoff. BYU would job and

(01:55:36):
Notre Dame to Miami. Will book be out b YU
losing though, however, would put Notre Dame in Miami right
next to each other and like the committee's mind on
the big board, and finally, for the first time, you
would have like a true comparison. And I think they
would really look at that head to head and say, Okay,
at this point, now they're right next to each other.

(01:55:58):
They did play Miami, he did beat him, and that's
when the flip might happen. Now, that's my opinion. You've
never had an instance in the college football playoff rankings
where you've had Team A beat Team B and TB
is right ahead of them in the final standings if
you both have the same record, and that's where we
are now, So it would be unprecedented for Notre Dame

(01:56:20):
to stay ahead of Miami. But again, this is a
different committee, and who's to say they just will go
in there and say Notre Dame, we think Notre Dame
is better than Miami, even though they lost the head
head They have every right to do that. So but
I think based on committee past habits, I think Notre
Dame is in a very difficult situation. I think the

(01:56:42):
one thing that could also give Notre Dame some hope
is if Alabama were to lose, its had to not
look good in the SEC Championship game. I think Notreame
should be ahead of Alabama, right, I think Miami and
Notre Dame should both be in. But Alabama hasn't been
playing great football for a month. If they were to
lose a third game, does that offer an opportunity now

(01:57:04):
to say, hey, they lost Florida State as well. Is
the worst loss of any of these contenders that are
in the in the playoff? Does that open up an
avenue to say, okay, maybe Ala Baba falls out at
both Miami in order. Didn't get it.

Speaker 11 (01:57:19):
All right, Chris, Before they kicked me off the show
along with you, I just wanted to give a little
mention to Bear Bets, the best podcast there is love
listening to you and Jeff, And like I said, he

good futures Bets after these championship games as well.

in Bear he drops the knowledge. I tell him, Ohio

You hate that he knows this stuff. Anybody who gets
I mean, look, sports gambling is like the stock market.

Speaker 3 (01:58:42):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:58:42):
You can go in there blind and lose all your money,
or you can make some educated things. You got a
guy like that that knows numbers. He's breaking down matchups
and he threw it out there. I'll repeat it for him.
His free tip for everybody. He likes the under first
half of Alabama Georgia first half under twenty four and
a half.

Speaker 3 (01:59:00):

this phone and I'm making me some free money. You

Presban because he's you know, kind of in the building
at times now.

Speaker 5 (02:03:21):
But uh, I've had everybody on the Bell you know,
Rendezvou and Michael Bivens and Ricky Bell, and I've had
everybody but Bobby Brown.

Speaker 3 (02:03:30):
So I'm gonna work on that. Yeah, it seems like
that'd be a hard one to do.

Speaker 13 (02:03:34):
No, is it not.

Speaker 14 (02:03:36):
It's really just about his availability. Yeah, yeah, Bobby, Bobby's
in the collected kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (02:03:40):
I'm sure he is.

Speaker 10 (02:03:41):
Yeah, talking sports and stuff like that, that's right up
his alley.

Speaker 3 (02:03:45):
So we could do that.

Speaker 10 (02:03:46):
We just can't talk about anything.

Speaker 5 (02:03:48):
No, no, no, But I will say this man Tresman
and I and then Johnny Gill has been on the
show before.

Speaker 3 (02:03:54):
We get along great, I mean great time.

Speaker 10 (02:03:56):
I mean that's what I said.

Speaker 14 (02:03:57):
When you talk sports, man, it doesn't matter what you
from what, no matter your education, no matter your financial background,
sports brings everybody together and rather if we're fighting about
your team, my team. I do got a question because
when you think about this big IU Ohio State match
this weekend, is this considered a home game for IU

(02:04:18):
as close as O House state state travels?

Speaker 6 (02:04:21):
Well?

Speaker 5 (02:04:22):
Yeah, I mean and it's it's it's sold out, the
ticket prices are fit the roof, but I mean the horseshoe.
They get about forty k more in that building I
think over there. So yeah, yeah, I don't know about
a home it's a real home game for I would
call it that, but I don't know people wise, if
it's going to be I just think you people put
this up more of a premium than Ohio State people. Robert,

(02:04:42):
you mean right, rights, I'm here, Yeah, I mean it's
like all new for AU for all iur States are going, well,
we're just trying to make it that in the one seed.

Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:04:50):
Yeah, So having.

Speaker 14 (02:04:50):
Conversations with people, they're like, but this is IU's backyard.

Speaker 10 (02:04:53):
And this is uncharted territory for IU, even.

Speaker 14 (02:04:57):
Though they're playing at Lucas Oil Stadium, to be playing
up against a juggingnut like Ohio State, there's been there,
done that, Like, is that added pressure for IU?

Speaker 5 (02:05:06):
I don't know if there's any pressure on you other
than maintaining a competitive balance here.

Speaker 3 (02:05:12):
I think that's the only thing. You just want to
be competitive and I want to see them win and
I want to then play well.

Speaker 5 (02:05:18):
But I think if you're an I, you fann you
just want to see your team remain competitive, because that's
what they struggled within.

Speaker 3 (02:05:24):
Columbus, Like, we don't want to get dog walked.

Speaker 5 (02:05:25):
No, you do not, because then that could affect who
knows how the committee is going to look at that
after that.

Speaker 3 (02:05:30):
So yeah, win Shoe's credibility.

Speaker 5 (02:05:32):
You can get it at Myer locations Neeman's Harvest Market
and Gordon's Food Service. The spreadability elite level snack and
of win Shulers, spreadable cheeses. Guys, Rob, one more time
