Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's certainly a lot of excitement throughout Who's your Land
because of the success of that football team Saturday beating
Ohio State. Ohio State fans still smarting you, like when
they singing the Wizard of Oz, Come out, come out,
wherever you are. I don't think there's many of the
Buckeye fans that are coming out right now. They're being quiet.
A guy who visited both the Indiana Ohio State football

(00:23):
game as a fan and the Indiana Louisville basketball game
in Indianapolis on Saturday is our own, Joe Lincoln. You're
a grad, right.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I am a grad twenty twenty four, baby.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Congratulations on that. But look who we have in the
studio with us here at Sports Bros.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Times, Sports Bros.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Sports Bros, Sports Bros.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Sports Bros.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Sports Bros, Sports Bros. Sports Bros. Sports Bros. George and
THEO Lawrence are with us. They are nine and eleven
years old, and they're the sports Bros. They talk sports
pros all the time, sports pros stuff. THEO. How are you, buddy?
I'm good, welcome, Good to have you on board. George,
what's up?

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Not much?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh? Okay? Are you ready for broadcasts? It's time to go. Okay, guys,
welcome back. It's good to have you here. The football
games over the weekend were great. They were riveting in
many ways. But let's start with University of Louisville basketball.
Joe was there, he saw the Lieuisville and Indian first
off was it was it Okay, it's not It's not

(01:24):
a hateful rival.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
No, no, no, no, no, I have no problem with Louisville.
I was you know, Pat Kelsey is, you know, one
of my favorite coaches in college basketball. Great to see MIKEL.
Brown in person for the first time. He was fantastic.
He kind of had an off game.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
But you know, but it's not like a uk U
of L thing where there you feel the venom among
the fans.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Everyone's very friendly.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I figured it was more like that. Yeah, what's your
takeaway theo from Louisville and Indiana the basketball game over
the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I mean, I think we made our free throws Louisville
pretty well, and we could have made some more threes.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
But oh man, they made a bunch of threes.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Really a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well, we did shoot a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Do we shoot like eighteen in the first half?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah? They popped a few.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I gotta shoot a lot to make a lot that's
exactly right from the field. Is not too shabby.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
No, No, that was still good. I like it that
Pat Kelsey gives our guys the green light, George. It's
so that they can just shoot and feel confident.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
They Ryan Comwell had a couple of threes. Yeah, Isaac
and Kunel is just.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Oh yeah, you know those are dependable guys. What did
you see out of your Indiana Hoosiers in this game?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Joe a lot more miss threes than Louisville, for sure,
But you know, I did like the fight at the
end of the game. It was so they got out
to the sixteen nothing lead. Did Louisville at the very
beginning of the game held Indiana scoreless for six and
a half minutes. The offense finally gets going for the Hoosiers,
but at that point you're already sixteen down. You dig
yourself that big of a hole. But I think it
ended up being an eight point victory for Louisville at

(02:58):
the very end, So being able to fight your way
back and get into that game. You know, I was
happy with the fight, but you got to be off
to a better start if you want to be in
a game like.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
That THEO and George, don't you think Louisville has a
lot of people that can throw in, Like you feel
good about the second team that comes in, Guys like
Adrian Wooley, These guys, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I really like.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
When Ali Khalifa, Like, does that pass by the free
thrown line to Adrian Wooley or Goby Rogers?

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Does he make you nervous when he shoots a three?

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Every time he's not alone? Is that in the playbook?
Is that really there? Ali show Kluak was it had
twelve seconds left, he made one. He did make.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
One against like Michigan.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
And what about guys like Kobe Rogers, George.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
I mean he's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah. I mean these are guys that are popping in
with a lot of energy, that are coming in and
moving the game forward for Louisville. I think they feel
pretty good about, you know, the second tier that comes in.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
You remember the blue and white platoons for UK back
in the day. I feel like you could run something
similar this year at U of L and have no problems.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
All right, this weekend we have Memphis. If you guys
don't any research on Memphis for that Loyvill's next opponent.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, I know they're not ranked in their coaches
Penny Hardaway and it was our old rival.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh it was. It was wicked back in the days rough.
So I don't think maybe those bad feelings are still
percolating this far down the road. But it was rough
back in the day, that's for sure. Anyway, Louisville's got
a special honor they're going to bestow upon the family
of the late Junior Bridgeman on Saturday're going to retire

(04:47):
his jersey. There are only a few jerseys retired in
Louisville history, not many west Ants, Soul, Darryl Griffith, Purvis, Ellison,
Russ and Russ. And so Junior's jersey's going in the Raptress.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's going to be a fantastic ceremony.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
That's Saturday. So anyway, Georgia, you's surprised that Louisville fell
five places in the top twenty five? Yes, where do
you think they should have had? They were six? And
then they lost to Arkansas, but then beat Indiana.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
I thought we were gonna be like a but maybe
we should.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Have been like yeah, and then Arkansas jumped way up.
They jumped up eight places. Yeah, so I guess beating
Louisville is a good thing.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
But Arkansas, we were on the road. They're pretty good.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, that's right, And I think we found out tough
place to play. Cal Perry loves mentioning the fact. Let's see,
yeah we've played them, if you know, we've beaten them mostly.
I mean he said he was trying to be of course,
he was a big Denny Crumb fan, that's for sure.
All right, let's get to college football. Everybody happy with
this bowl situation? No, you're not at all. What's the
matter to you?

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, the only thing I know about Toledos that they're
the Stingrays.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Like I think, yeah, they won the MAC, they're dangerous.
I don't know about that, they won their league.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
It will be a tough, tough customer.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, yeah, so the never ever, you don't know who's
gonna play in the bowl games either, because it gets
to be a sort of a gray area as well,
like you don't know if the best of the best
players are available. So that's something to worry about anyway.
You still you've already kind of finished your regular season.
We still want to win your bowl game. Anyway, let's
get to Indiana, Ohio State surprised by the outcome at all?

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, I thought Ohio State would win.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
M what about you THEO Did you pick the Buckeyes
in that one?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah? I did, but like but not a lot.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I did not think that Indiana's defense would allow them
to score.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Here's a guy who never doubted the outcome from the start.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I may have doubted it for a couple of seconds. No,
I mean it was it was spectacular. Shutting out an
offense like that completely in the second half was something
that I wouldn't have thought was gonna happen. And you
watched the game on TV, all of you, Right the
stop on fourth down where they said, Sayan's knee was down?
Was it down or was it not? Because I couldn't

(07:03):
my vantage point, I'm like, I have no idea, and
they come back out on the field they say the
call is overturned and I went, are you serious?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
What it was like?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I had no idea. So that was the play where
I was like, Okay, this is a real, this is
a reality. I had to pinch myself a little bit.
I'm like, happened?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Could you feel the mood swing in the oh my
good place.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
So the good thing about where I was sitting it
was it was kind of striped row by row Indiana fans,
Ohio State fans, Indiana fans, Ohio State fans. So if
you needed to get some you know, high fives off,
you'd have to reach over one row and get to
the other, and that would, you know, get people riled up.
But you know, it's just the changing of the energy
in an environment like that's always really cool for me.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's great for Indiana. I know people have worked up
about it, especially the colts now are having a little issue.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So all the attentions focused down on Indiana Hoosiers football squad.
All right, fellas, you have your brackets. Who wins out? George?
Who's gonna win in this playoff situation?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Indiana?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
All right, we're gonna make it all the way through.
Who do you think their next opponent will be? THEO?
You feel one out too?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Didn't your next opponent?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay? So you think Bama's going to going to advance?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
I had Georgia winning it all and uh yeah, I
had Indiana playing Alabama.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, And and you have what who's the champ Georgia.
Oh you have Georgia winning it. Okay, all right, there
you go. So there you go. You got a fifty
percent vote on I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
What you what's your thought process?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, of course you know bracket India as the guy
that's the Indiana graduate. You of course you want to
see Indiana get there, and I think they have a
definite path to get there. But I told I told
the bros. I think Texas Tech is another team to
keep your eye on. And you know, also a Bama
team that slips in, I agree, could make some noise.
Kaylin de Boor really looking to make his first real
run at it as head coach of Alabama, So keep

(08:47):
an eye on them. But you know, I also can't
disagree Georgia with Kirby Smart, you can never count them
out either.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
So I'm taking Oklahoma and knock off Bama. I am,
I'm going that way.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's bold.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I want to see how that goes. And yes, George
will beat Ole Miss and A and M's gonna beat Miami,
and then Ohio State's gonna beat A and M. And
so advance we go. And I like Indiana's chances as
much as anybody else. So yeah, why not making Who's
Your Land? First time since nineteen forty five? Is that
what I heard?

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Now?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Are we talking national championship or number one overall?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
That was the last thing I saw the graphic I
saw on TV. The last time was nineteen forty five.
I don't know if they were talking about when Kurt
Signetti was born, or was the last time a championship?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Whatever it is, right, whatever success Indiana football has had
was a long, long, long time ago, So it's about
darn time that they're up there again.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Well, we'll see how it plays out. Fellas, Let's see
what happens with U OFL basketball too, and see if
they can keep things rolling. We know they're having some
challenges in Lexington. We'll just let that sit until we
see some more they got they got a tough road
to hoo ahead too.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
So we played Tennessee in their twenty Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, there's a lot of tough stuff coming ahead for
for the University of Kentucky, so we'll see. There's just
a lot of pressure over there, So we'll see how
this plays out in the coming weeks. They got Rick
Patino clash coming up, you know that?

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, after Indiana?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, and so do they beat Patino? Is Mark Pope
gonna beat Patino?

Speaker 3 (10:16):
No? Well, I think it's gonna be pretty intense because
he put for or coach for Louisville and Kentucky. So,
but Saint John's is four and three. Pretty sure they
might be different, but last time I checked, they were.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's a personal thing though, between Pope and Patino. It's
a matter who has the assets, and I think Pope
has more talent. But we'll just see if Patino figures
out a way to take them down and make all
the UK fans have a bad Christmas. We don't want that, now,
do we. Oh, there we go. Sportspros, Thank you, Sports Pros.
Good to see again. Theo Sportsbroo. Here's too, George sports

(10:54):
bro all right, Bud Sportspros, Joe start, go ahead, go
ahead and get read your national championship trophy, make a
space D trophy. It's coming back in a minute. On
