1 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,840 And welcome back to Bison Chat. It's been too long, Joe Cronin. 2 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,240 We've only been off for a week. We had people asking for the 3 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,760 show last week. There's a hunger for IU football 4 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,360 content and we are your caterers for what's gonna be a great 5 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,840 meal, a homecoming meal as we get ready for IU taking on 6 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,840 Nebraska this upcoming weekend. A huge week in sports at the the 7 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680 the lovely grounds of Indiana University and Bloomington here, 8 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,840 Joe, as we've not just got football, we've got Hoosier 9 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,240 hysteria. We're not gonna talk about that 10 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,400 on the show today, but so much to talk about with this football 11 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,200 program. How are you doing? 12 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,680 How was the off week for you? I'm good. 13 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,800 I enjoyed the bye week went up to Green Bay, caught the Packers 14 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,240 Cardinals game, got to see the Packers, you know, little belt 15 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,120 to butt against against the birds. 16 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560 So that that was fun. Fun to see Jordan Love back in 17 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,960 his form. It it was good to have a week to 18 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,720 kind of, you know, hang out a little bit, enjoy the weekend, a 19 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,120 lot of travel, but can't complain. 20 00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,720 It's one of those things where I've loved this football season. 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,440 It's been such a joy to participate in as a fan, as a as 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,800 a media commentator, but it was like week after week after week. 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,120 And it's like much like the team and the coaching staff needed a 24 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,320 little bit of a respite just to reset, get ourselves set and 25 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,440 ready to go for the second-half of the season. 26 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,440 I feel like we needed that as as media folks and his fans. 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,920 So we got the week off, we got a breather. 28 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,840 We are back. We're loaded for bear. 29 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,400 We got Emily Fox producing once again here behind the scenes. 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,240 You can't see her, but we can. And she's got some great stuff 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600 cooked up for us here today. We're going to be diving in and 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:06,040 talking all about IU, Nebraska, Oska today as ultimately this is 33 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,479 the biggest game of the season so far for Indiana. 34 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,680 It won't be the last biggest game that Indiana has, but it's 35 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,160 by far the biggest one that they've had up to this point. 36 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Best opponent and probably the most on the line because this is 37 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,760 really Joe, If we try to boil it down, this is where Indiana, I 38 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,280 think really determines whether they're going to get the 39 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,760 national recognition and the respect that they've more or 40 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,120 less, I think, earned up to this point with the way that they've 41 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040 played. But a lot of people have been 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,800 able to brush that off, say, oh, you played a weak schedule. 43 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,040 We're not applying that logic to anybody else in the country, but 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,320 we're going to apply it to Indiana. 45 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,040 Here, though, it's going to be hard to argue if Indiana can go 46 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,400 in and play a good game and beat Nebraska at home. 47 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840 It's going to be hard to argue that this IU team doesn't belong 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000 in the conversation among the nation's best teams. 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,040 Yeah, if they continue what they've been doing this season 50 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,760 and win by multiple, multiple scores, then I think without a 51 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,440 doubt this is a team that is now in the top 15 in the nation for 52 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,840 the AP poll. I mean, the College Football 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,800 Playoff rankings are are looming around the corner here in a few 54 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,840 weeks. So that will be on the radar. 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,760 The national media will have attention. 56 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,440 I'm pretty sure Coach Cignetti's hopping on the Pat McAfee show 57 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440 this week. So that that will certainly be 58 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,320 exciting as this starts to buzz a little bit more. 59 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880 But I mean, yeah, big new off is a good way to start. 60 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840 I mean, Dus Johnson, what a guy to be calling, calling some 61 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,120 Indiana football. Really excited to see what kind 62 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,920 of nickname he comes up for, for maybe Coach Shig or how many 63 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,000 times he references Waffle House with Elijah Sarat, stuff like 64 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,360 that. But like you mentioned, this is 65 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,240 a really tone setting game right here. 66 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,160 Week off, both teams coming off their bye week, but Indiana's 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,080 six and O. And like you said, it was, I 68 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,600 guess the easy part of the schedule. 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,080 But with so much unknown going under the year, it's kind of 70 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,640 surprising that there's Six and O rolling so far. 71 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,600 So if they're able to continue what they're doing and they will 72 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280 earn, I mean, they've earned the respect up to this point. 73 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,880 They're ranked team, they've been winning. 74 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,840 But this is the one because like you said, this is the start of 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,960 the toughest schedule. This is when the real Big 10 76 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,400 slate starts, I guess. Yeah. 77 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,000 And and look, I mean, what Indiana did a couple weeks ago 78 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,960 up at Northwestern I think has been brushed aside a little bit 79 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,959 too easily. They yeah, that was a tight game 80 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,880 going into the fourth quarter. Indiana took care of business, 81 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,880 end up winning by 17 points. And again, like every time we've 82 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,880 seen this team have to answer the bell, so to speak. 83 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,880 It hasn't been very often because they've generally 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,400 knocked their opponents out before that, but they've been 85 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,760 able to answer the bell. And certainly as we look at this 86 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,560 team, the the strength of this offense continues to demonstrate 87 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,000 with Curtis Rourke under center, with this array of receivers and 88 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,160 running backs that they've got and with this offensive line 89 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400 which has been grading out amongst the best in the country 90 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,200 on a week by week basis. Watching that unit in particular 91 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,520 really gain some steam and come into its own in these games. 92 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,160 It's going to be really fascinating because as we go 93 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,800 into Nebraska, this is going to be strength on strength. 94 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Indiana with one of the top offenses in the country taking 95 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,560 on what according to S&P Plus is the top defense in the country 96 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,760 with Nebraska that you know, that is an exciting match up and 97 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,840 it makes what is already a good match up of teams in terms of 98 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,520 like where they are. IU obviously in the in the top 99 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,000 20 in the poll, regardless of which poll you're looking at. 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880 Nebraska just outside, both of them are hovering, you know, 101 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,960 right there trying to get back in. 102 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,960 You know, both of these teams are among the top 30 teams in 103 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,800 the country. I think that's that's abundantly 104 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,720 clear. And to be able to have such a 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,280 cool match up early on of offense versus defense, I'm 106 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,800 really excited to see where that takes us in this game. 107 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,680 Yeah. Something I want to add off of 108 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,720 that is kind of the magnitude of this game so early, I guess not 109 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,960 really midway point of the season for both programs as a 110 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,080 whole. Because Nebraska, this is a this 111 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,280 is a school that's been really desperate to try and be back on 112 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,760 that college football empire totem pole that they used to be 113 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,680 back in the 90s. And they found themselves ranked 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,280 earlier in the season. And then again, you know, 115 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,200 against Illinois, they were at home and they lost that ranking 116 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,360 real quick. So now they're looking here's 117 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,280 that away ranked game and you know, Indiana still a team 118 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:21,560 that's trying to prove themselves, prove that they 119 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,760 belong at this point. So both teams, they're there, 120 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,800 They have a lot to prove in this game because it's going to set 121 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,320 up. That was last five games for 122 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,120 both teams. I think very well like win for 123 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 either. And we got some some comments 124 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,680 coming up later from that rule that you might chortle at a 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,080 little bit given the context of what you just said there. 126 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,280 But let's get to some of the comments from IU head coach Kurt 127 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,960 Zignetti first and foremost, as he had his press conference 128 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,360 after a week off here. And really start, you know, 129 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,560 let's start it off talking about the program and where the 130 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,200 program's at. This is one of the questions 131 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,080 that was asked to him early on and had some interesting things 132 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520 just in overall discussion on, you know, how he's gotten this 133 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,360 IU program to where it's at going into this game ranked Big 134 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,280 noon kick off, noon kick on Fox. I mean, this is big stuff 135 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,240 already. Here's what Kurt Signeti had to 136 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000 say about how the program gets built and where it's at at this 137 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,880 point. Well, the first thing you got to 138 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,920 do as a leader, you got to change the way people think 139 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,960 inside and outside the program. And then you got to have a 140 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,360 blueprint and a plan. You got to have high standards 141 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,520 for everything you do, high standards, expectations and 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,040 accountability and consistency day in, day out. 143 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,040 How you do something's, how you do everything. 144 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,000 And you have to be fully committed to being the best you 145 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,600 can be. Be a great team guy. 146 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Those are non negotiable, you know. 147 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,440 Be early, do your best, improve as much as you can every single 148 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,920 day. We talk a lot about culture with 149 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,680 team sports in general, Joe, and I think one of the things that's 150 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,800 impressive about Signetti is not just the success. 151 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,960 I mean, IU by any metric is one of the two or three most 152 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,440 improved teams in the country. They're one of the few 153 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,400 undefeated teams left. They were the first bowl 154 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,280 eligible team in FBS. But the fact that this culture 155 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,400 has been established so quickly and so effectively by Kurt 156 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,400 Signetti and his staff. Using a an interesting 157 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,440 combination of leftover players from last year of transfers, 158 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,520 some of which came from JMU where they already had a little 159 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,560 bit of an idea of what culture Kurt Signetti wanted. 160 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,720 But also transfers from elsewhere, whether it's Curtis 161 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600 Rourke, whether it's the entire starting backfield or most of 162 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,440 the starting backfield in terms of the running backs, you know, 163 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,679 the bits and pieces on the defensive line, they all seem to 164 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,039 have bought in to a pretty remarkable degree. 165 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,680 And there's a complimentary nature to a lot of what IU does 166 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,280 that is clearly connected to this culture that Kurt Signetti 167 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,920 is talking about. Yeah, and something that he 168 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,440 talked about in his introductory press conference back in 169 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,760 December of 2023, He said arguably the most important year 170 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,320 of his career was 2008 when he was with Nick Saban. 171 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,760 And and that right there I think speaks or I don't know if it was 172 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,840 2008 to be exact, but the year with Nick Saban when he was part 173 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360 of the Sabin tree, he was a recruiting coordinator. 174 00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:18,960 That was his most says his most influential and important year. 175 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,920 And I think his mentality, the way he he talks to the media, 176 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,800 the way he addresses his team is a resemblance of that Sabin 177 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,520 tree. I mean, he is all business. 178 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,160 And it comes in with this almost never satisfied approach where 179 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,280 it's like, yeah, they're six and O, but it's like, what else? 180 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,240 Like is the sky really the limit for this team? 181 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,080 And he believes so. And when you when he's at JMU 182 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,960 and he's able to create a winning culture at James 183 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,040 Madison, making a leap to FBS, take 20 transfers from there, 184 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,360 bring him to IU. He already has an established 185 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,800 culture with those guys, those guys that believe in their head 186 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,600 coach, that believe in the winning ways. 187 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,760 And I think that's a more smooth transition when you add the IU 188 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,200 guys that were already here that they hadn't really seen, that 189 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,040 they hadn't seen this kind of like hard nose, like, hey, we're 190 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,200 going to win, we're going to do it my way and you're going to 191 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:12,160 figure it out as you go. And they have responded to when 192 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,640 when their name has been called and passing really flying 193 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,800 colors. Yeah, and it's, you know, it's 194 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,320 one of those where a lot of times fans, media you, you get 195 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160 caught in the comparative battle between like, well, you know, 196 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,120 the culture is here now. It wasn't here before. 197 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,200 And I do think it's interesting to note, like, culture's been 198 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,200 something that you have to have at any football program where 199 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,680 you're not just bringing in top talent on top of top talent. 200 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,520 Culture's still important there too. 201 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,400 But I think especially at places like Indiana, one of the things 202 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,960 we've talked about on Crimson Cast for so long is what really 203 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,840 separates in Indiana from like an Iowa or from a Wisconsin. 204 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,640 Historically, maybe not so much now. 205 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,720 They were getting essentially the same types of recruits that 206 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Indiana gets, but it's been kind of two things. 207 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,480 They developed those recruits better. 208 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,840 And there's a culture that people buy into where they feel 209 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,280 like they're a part of something bigger. 210 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,920 And for whatever reason, as much as culture was a big part of Tom 211 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,920 Allen's approach in terms of how we talked to the media and how 212 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,920 we talked to fans, it it didn't really seem to consistently work 213 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,200 in terms of the way the players approached the game. 214 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,920 And certainly that's not all. And it's, you know, and, and 215 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,520 some people are just, I think more effective in certain 216 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,440 circumstances than others. And I think what's been 217 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,080 impressive about Signeti is there's such a track record of 218 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640 this working in his last couple of stops early, his last three 219 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,080 stops, if you include the Indiana PA, that that coaching 220 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,360 stop, establishing that culture becomes paramount. 221 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,080 And then that gives you a spectrum within which you can 222 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,800 provide the kind of training and the kind of improvement from a a 223 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,600 technique perspective or a tactical perspective that really 224 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,400 makes the difference in games. And that's been the big thing 225 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,240 here. Like this team looks like they 226 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160 buy in. They believe in what their coach 227 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,360 is telling them. They believe in what the 228 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,520 assistant coaches are telling them. 229 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,240 They believe in each other. But on top of that, they're also 230 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,640 executing at a very high level the kinds of things you need to 231 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,360 do, especially in higher leverage moments. 232 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,360 We saw it in the third and fourth quarters against 233 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,200 Maryland. We saw it in the fourth quarter 234 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,280 against Northwestern. When they need to make plays on 235 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,560 both sides of the ball, they've been able to do so. 236 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,520 And on the offensive's case, they've done it at a a leading 237 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,320 level within college athletics. And you don't do that unless 238 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,640 you've got that foundation. Yeah, and something that Coach 239 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,920 has talked about, especially in these past few weeks, is how to 240 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,480 go in and take over a program like this. 241 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,360 It's all about the mentality and what he said, changing the way 242 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,120 people think. If you go in thinking, oh, how 243 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,520 am I going to turn around? Arguably the losingest program 244 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,280 in power. Power Conference. 245 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,560 Football. Not. 246 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,640 Not arguably. Joe not arguable. 247 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,720 The the the power conference football team with the most 248 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,560 losses. He didn't go in there thinking, 249 00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:54,560 how am I going to turn this around? 250 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,200 He went in there thinking let's win. 251 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,320 And and that's that's it's been the result of that. 252 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,360 It hasn't been what's dwell in the past. 253 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,480 It's what can the present be and build from that. 254 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,600 And I mean in the present moment. 255 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,720 It is an undefeated Indiana Hoosier squad. 256 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,760 They had a bye week, as we've talked about, and Kurt Signeti 257 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,400 talked a little bit about how do you approach a bye week, 258 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,400 especially as a team that started 6 and O and has been on 259 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,920 such a roll? Here's what he had to say about 260 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,920 that. It's balls the wall all the time 261 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,240 because you're getting better and getting worse. 262 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,600 Never stay the same. So I mean, we practiced three 263 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:32,920 times and we did some prep on the this upcoming opponent. 264 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,560 And then you're looking at other people across the country, 265 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,880 seeing who's doing what well and trying maybe to get a few ideas 266 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,280 that may help you down the road. So using that time wisely. 267 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,440 Balls to the wall all the time, Joe Crone. 268 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,360 And this is this is how I approach tailgating and podcast. 269 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,960 So it's good. It's good to have a coach that 270 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,560 echoes that sort of approach. But I got to say I one of the 271 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:03,880 things that I love about Signeti's press conferences is 272 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,640 how real they sound and how straightforward they sound. 273 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,960 And I'm excited constantly when I hear him talk about what his 274 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,200 team does in such a matter of fact style. 275 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,000 It's like, well, yeah, of course, like we're doing this, 276 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,440 we're doing that. We're grabbing things from 277 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,200 elsewhere, we're working on stuff because it feels like you 278 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,000 see a tangible output of that when you go out and watch them 279 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,680 play the next time. And that's been the case since 280 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,440 the first press conference, as he had at the beginning of the 281 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,400 year. Yeah, something I I really enjoy 282 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,080 about is the authenticity. It's just he, he seems so 283 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,400 unscripted when he's up there. He's like, yeah, we're doing 284 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,920 that. But we're we're not good here. 285 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,120 And we'll just say exactly what's going on and dive into 286 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,080 the XS and OS of things sometimes. 287 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,520 And there are a few questions asked about, you know, fans and 288 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,240 how people are starting to rally around Sig as an icon. 289 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,560 He's just like, it's more the result of the team that's been 290 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,920 been the performance. And I don't know if you saw 291 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,200 there was a towel that is supposedly going to be out at 292 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,920 the game on Saturday saying study later with Kurt Signetti, 293 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,320 Kurt Signetti's signature. So there, there. 294 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,360 There is a cultural back to the culture standpoint. 295 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,920 It took him half, half a year to establish what is considered a 296 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,760 real football culture at a place that I mean, have you seen real 297 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,240 football culture here at Indiana? 298 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,760 It's, it's been a long time. I mean, you have, you really do 299 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,480 have to go back to the 80s, early 90s to really feel like 300 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,200 that was happening. There's been like some some 301 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,240 close moments where it felt like things were going in the right 302 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,920 direction. And then they've always tended 303 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,000 to devolve. And so that's what, and look, 304 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,120 it's early. You're half a season. 305 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,600 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, there's still like. 306 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,200 But but I think what's got so many IU fans and so many long 307 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,760 time observers of the program so excited, myself included, is, 308 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,960 and it's hard to put into words, but it's like you can tell, you 309 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,520 can, you can sense it when the culture has changed. 310 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,400 And that has been, I think, evident from certainly from Game 311 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,040 2, certainly from the UCLA game, Like you just felt like there 312 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,080 was something fundamentally, tangibly different about this 313 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,240 group and what they do. Obviously, IU taking on 314 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840 Nebraska, as we've talked about, we're going to dive into that 315 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,000 now. Kurt Zignetti with some thoughts 316 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,960 on that Nebraska team and what sorts of challenges they might 317 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,840 present to his Indiana squad. Well, they got good players, 318 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,360 they're very well coached, they play really hard. 319 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,920 They're very multiple in their scheme. 320 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,680 They've got guys that can affect the passer, that a couple big 321 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,840 guys inside, you know, 315 plus type guys. 322 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,840 They play a lot of people and they do everything they can to 323 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,560 keep you off balance. They also deflect a lot of 324 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,040 passes. They've sent 7 interceptions, 325 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,200 giving up about 85 yards rushing a game, I think, Yeah. 326 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,160 Nebraska's gonna be a really interesting challenge and it's 327 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,400 it's an interesting team in that if you look at their advanced 328 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,040 statistics and and you know, if you follow Crimson cast, we are 329 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,640 a big believer in the advanced stats here. 330 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:03,360 They are a team that is very good on defense. 331 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,000 As we mentioned earlier, they're 22nd in S&P Plus, which is a a 332 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,560 resume based calculation of how you've done, how your 333 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,079 performances have been. Nebraska first in the country in 334 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:20,640 defense, 83rd on offense, 126th in special teams. 335 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,760 Their defense has really done a lot of good things over the 336 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,400 course of this season, but their offense has struggled and and 337 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,920 they're A-Team. That's certainly got some 338 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760 interesting pieces. A lot of the press coming into 339 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760 the year surrounded Dylan Ryola, the five star freshman 340 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,960 quarterback who's been starting from day one. 341 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,000 And you, you think about Nebraska, you know, they, 342 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,800 there's clearly a desire to put this team back up in the 343 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,880 national echelon by media. It's why they got ranked so 344 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,840 early. They they've been fairly 345 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,120 impressive this year. They did stumble at home versus 346 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,040 Illinois. They had a little bit of a 347 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,240 struggle 2 weeks ago against Purdue. 348 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,360 They had a struggle last week or against or I guess it was three 349 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,280 weeks ago and then two weeks ago against Rutgers. 350 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,960 But they have taken care of business. 351 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,080 They're five and one. They're off to their best start 352 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,240 in quite a while. And certainly I think Kurt 353 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,040 Zignetta hits on a lot of interesting points there. 354 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,920 Like you can see teams that are playing hard on tape. 355 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,880 You can see that, you know, they're they they use a lot of 356 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,800 different formations. They're coached by Matt Rule, 357 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,920 who of course has been one of the top college coaches in the 358 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,760 game for quite a while. Turned the Baylor team around in 359 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,480 a very short period of time, went to the NFL. 360 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,320 That didn't work out, but it was the Carolina Panthers who does 361 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,760 work out with the Carolina Panthers. 362 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,080 It's hard to hold that against him, you know, But Nebraska's 363 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,120 going to present some interesting and unique 364 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:44,840 challenges to Indiana based upon what they've already faced so 365 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,640 far this season. Yeah, and I want to go back to 366 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,480 really the defensive line of this Cornhuskers team. 367 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,840 They lead the Big 10 sacks with 21. 368 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,880 They lead the big 10 in tackles for loss with over 40. 369 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,600 They got they got two guys that really just get in the back for 370 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,720 the lot. Ty Robinson, James Williams, 371 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,360 they each have 4 sacks, which you know, it's tied for like 372 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,920 tied for second and a long list of guys that also have 4, but 373 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,480 they're like the only two pair of the same team to have 4. 374 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,680 So they got big guys. So this is going to be a real 375 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,920 test for the IU offensive line who has really looked sharpened 376 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,400 every game so far. Really outside, I'd say the 377 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,200 first half of the Maryland game, they gave up a few sacks. 378 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,280 Seemed like Rourke didn't have the cleanest pocket. 379 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,440 But outside of that, I mean, Justice Ellison, Tyson Lauden 380 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,720 have been able to get to that second level pretty much with 381 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,240 ease. And then Curtis Rourke has had a 382 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,200 pretty clean pocket up to this point. 383 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,120 So this is going to be arguably the biggest test for for the 384 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:41,040 fronts. And I mean, Kurt Signate is a 385 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,480 guy who's a firm believer that it all starts up front. 386 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,760 I mean, that's football all starts up front. 387 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760 And you know, that's going to be really the iron sharpens iron 388 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,480 test I'm going to be looking out for through throughout this game 389 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,840 because with a guy like Riola, true fair, true freshman, but 390 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,520 wicked arm talent, this is a guy 2 years from now that's probably 391 00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,720 going to be top ten in the draft. 392 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,360 Yeah, probably. I mean, with his physical gifts, 393 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:06,120 I'd, I wouldn't be surprised at all that Rule did have some 394 00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,800 comments about Indiana. Let's hear what he had to say 395 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,920 about the Hoosiers. I mean, well, they're they're 396 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,960 leading the big 10 in passing and I believe, but they're 397 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,440 close, if not the top in rushing. 398 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,840 You know, they're top ten in the country in in offense, they're 399 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,080 top ten in the country in defense. 400 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,760 They're the only team that hasn't trailed all year and 401 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,280 they've scored 80 points in the fourth quarter. 402 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,120 So this is this is this is probably a top 10 football team 403 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,440 we're facing right. Just it's one of them. 404 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,600 They started the season on ranks. 405 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,320 They're not they're not maybe getting to do that. 406 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,880 They supposed to get right. I mean other people can lose to 407 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,120 a bad team and they'll keep them in the top ten because whatever 408 00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:44,080 they started in the top ten were, you know, but coach 409 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,400 Schenetti's done an amazing job, quarterbacks absolutely 410 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,160 fantastic. They got playmakers, they're 411 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,840 good on special teams. It's a it's a it's it's a great 412 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,480 team. You know, this this is this is a 413 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,520 game, though, where we're facing. 414 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,040 You know, this is probably I don't I don't try to I try not 415 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,600 to look at the lines and all that, but I'm pretty sure we're 416 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,760 probably the underdog, right. So this is the our guys first 417 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,200 time for doing that right. So I much prefer that. 418 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,240 You know, I love I love turn on game dancing and them all pick 419 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,880 the other team. That's good for us, you know, 420 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,600 So, you know, it's just kind of who I am and who a lot of our 421 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,120 guys are. You know we're, you know we're 422 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,880 not, you know, we are who we are so. 423 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,440 I got to say there's a there's just this delightful irony in 424 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,680 Nebraska's head coach of all programs playing the underdog 425 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,800 card and talking about, you know, we we prefer to be the 426 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,240 underdog. Like this is this is one of the 427 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,920 blue blood types of programs in college football. 428 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,400 And it's just so hard to get your brain wrapped around the 429 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,320 fact they are underdogs. It's somewhere between 4:00 and 430 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,840 5:00 point underdogs from what I've seen on the betting lines. 431 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,560 But for Matt Rule to be playing that up of all things going into 432 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,040 a game against Indiana, I just think is delicious. 433 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,600 I'm not sure how you feel about it, Joe. 434 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,800 I mean, I imagine Matt Rule has seen some of Signetti's or heard 435 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,480 some of Signetti's comments. And I think it comes to some of 436 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,080 the confidence that Indiana, and it's obviously it starts with 437 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,760 the guy at the top, Signetti. The confidence that they have as 438 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,360 a team has has propelled them into this top 20 spot. 439 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,280 And so they're a confident team that thinks, you know, another 440 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,600 game, another business, another take care of business kind of 441 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,960 game where Nebraska is like they're still proving themselves 442 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,360 as a team. They're still trying to find 443 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,040 that find that extra, extra fight. 444 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,200 And you know, this is a this is a stat that I found. 445 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,320 I really love it. Nebraska in their last 25 ranked 446 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,280 games is O and 25. And that rule in his is 2 and 20 447 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,600 going back to his days of Baylor, 2 and 20 in his last 22 448 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,600 games against top 25 opponents. So I mean, got to play that 449 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,960 underdog card a little bit. Look at look at that right 450 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,680 there. Because the history hasn't been 451 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,800 so kind for either rule or Nebraska as a whole. 452 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,760 So you know. You know, and you expect coaches 453 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,800 to talk like that. And is it is as sorry as Daniel 454 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,840 pointed out, you know, at least Matt Rule didn't stick his foot 455 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,200 in his mouth like Scott Frost, which like that was all Scott 456 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,320 Frost did while he was there. But look, Matt Rule, he really 457 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,520 was. But no, Matt Rule is a good 458 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,360 coach. He knows the buttons to press to 459 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:18,960 try to get his team fired up for this. 460 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,400 And it's interesting. We're going to share a a graphic 461 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,560 from our our good friend Taylor Lehman over at Bite Sized Bison. 462 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,720 I'm going to blow this up a little bit so we can get a 463 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,280 closer look at it. But what you'll see here is 464 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,280 maybe a little hard for some of you to see, but hopefully you 465 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,040 can you can zoom in. The green numbers are good and 466 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,600 the darker green the better. But you can see like going into 467 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,120 this game, looking at S&P Plus, looking at the advanced 468 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,320 statistics, Indiana is a 63% favorite. 469 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,080 They're projected to be about a 5 point victory in this game. 470 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,600 And that's where a lot of the betting line stuff started is is 471 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,720 right around that four and a half five point margin. 472 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,640 But you can see if you look at the comparisons here, you know, 473 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,280 what Indiana does really well is what Nebraska does really well. 474 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,560 But I would argue that if you look at the numbers, Indiana 475 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,720 does the offensive stuff better. You know, they're so good at 476 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,480 past success, they're so good at EPA per play, They're so good at 477 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,760 early down, EPA, third down success. 478 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,360 Like those things have been consistent. 479 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,120 Nebraska is good in most of those, but they're not 480 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:23,960 overwhelmingly good. And I, and I do think that 481 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,200 that's going to be an interesting thing to to track 482 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,840 throughout the course of this contest. 483 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,560 And when you look at the defense of Indiana versus the offense of 484 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,840 Nebraska, to me, this is where the game ends up being, you 485 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,400 know, maybe won or lost because Indiana's defense has come under 486 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,240 some criticism. And certainly I think they got 487 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,200 maybe a little unfairly criticized in that game versus 488 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,520 Nebraska or excuse me, against Northwestern, 'cause as as we 489 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,560 saw, I'm gonna turn off the screen sharing there. 490 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,280 It turns out in the Northwestern's offense might not 491 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,200 be bad after all, as they went into Maryland and just waxed the 492 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,200 Terrapins on fire week. So, you know, maybe I you woke 493 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,640 them up. I'm not sure what happened. 494 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,200 But I do think it's interesting thinking about like Indiana's 495 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,240 defense. They're gonna have to deal with 496 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,160 Dylan Ryola. Nebraska's got some playmakers. 497 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,520 They've got some people that can do things. 498 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,000 But it does feel like Indiana's got the capability potentially 499 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,320 of getting Nebraska's offense off the field. 500 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,800 And if they can give their if they can keep giving their 501 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,920 offense additional chances, which is essentially what the 502 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,400 defense did versus Maryland. People forget about that. 503 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,360 Like, the defense for Indiana kept them in the game when their 504 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,560 offense wasn't quite doing what it needed to do. 505 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,000 And then in the third quarter, Indiana's offense got rolling. 506 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,960 And from there on, it's like, well, we're running the 507 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,720 daylight. That might be a little bit of 508 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,920 what we see in this game as these two teams battle strength 509 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,560 on strength on the other side of the ball. 510 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,120 Yeah, I mean, you saw the kind of the opposite against 511 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,480 Northwestern where it was the offense, both offenses going toe 512 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,600 to toe really for a while. And then all of a sudden, you 513 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,160 know, when it mattered the most, you know, IU takes that, you 514 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,600 know, gets that score lead and then the defense gets to stop. 515 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,080 And now IU is able to open up and get that 2 score lead and 516 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,480 really put that game on ice. So it's been kind of give and 517 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,560 take with both sides. They've played for each other 518 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,040 and they've played as a team. Not really going to show the LED 519 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,120 light strand. It goes around my window and 520 00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:18,120 then around the corner. I need to invest in maybe 521 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:21,280 another one that wraps around. Well, maybe, I think perhaps, 522 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,520 perhaps on the next Bison chat, a GoFundMe to buy an extra 523 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,440 string of weights for Joe Cronin. 524 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,880 You know, it might be I might be able. 525 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,880 To chip that up. I might be able to chip it out 526 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,680 of the Crimson cast budget. We'll see what we can do, but. 527 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,600 Yeah, wow. Yeah, same for lights. 528 00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:39,960 Crazy. That's there. 529 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,480 There you go. Yeah, That's that's. 530 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,680 Yeah. Chad's got it down, but no, 531 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,240 you're if you. Want to get it set up? 532 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,320 I'll be happy to happy to promote it and. 533 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,760 The Joe Cronin lights fund. I like this all. 534 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,040 Funds All funds will go into a new set of lights. 535 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,280 We want to. We got several great comments 536 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,240 and questions from the the crew here in the YouTube chat. 537 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,240 I want to get to some of those and talking about it. 538 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,000 Some of them are are game focused. 539 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,280 Some of them are experienced focused, but pit Hoosier asked. 540 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,720 I, I saw this the first time IU's had two sellouts in a 541 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,320 season since 2021. And actually, so they did it 542 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,440 that year and they did it in 2017. 543 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,520 And as far as when the last time Indiana had three sellouts, I 544 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,680 think we're going back to like 1988. 545 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:27,760 And I'll tell you like I, I've got ticket numbers which I, I 546 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,080 won't put up on screen, but the last I checked today, there are 547 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:34,120 not that many tickets left for the other games. 548 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,600 There's 4000 tickets left for Purdue, and that's with some 549 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,960 tickets that got added today. And there's about 5100 tickets 550 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,440 left for Washington. It is possible Indiana will sell 551 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,000 out four games the rest of the way. 552 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,800 Like the last four home games are absolutely possibilities for 553 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,160 sellouts, which would be amazing. 554 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,360 And I think if you watch that Kurt Signetti interview, that 555 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,240 Hoosiers Connect, did you know one of the things he talks about 556 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,520 is like, is the institution going to continue to invest in 557 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,760 the football program more or less was kind of the message 558 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,120 when people have asked, like, is Kurt Signeti potentially leaving 559 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,840 that investment? Like IU fans showing up and 560 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,720 going to games, Like the fact that there's a sell out, the 561 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,560 fact that, you know, all the students came out for the 562 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,440 Maryland game despite there being bad weather. 563 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,240 There's a lot of really cool stuff that I think we're seeing 564 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,240 in the IU fan base. It's going to be awesome. 565 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,760 You know, if if, if Indiana makes the sell out thing a 566 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,360 regular priority down the line. The fans do. 567 00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:29,240 I mean, given the success that this team is having so far. 568 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,480 Yeah, you OK, Joe? I'm all good. 569 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:42,440 I'm just I wonder what I did. To Ross I. 570 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,640 Think Ross. Ross is just he's. 571 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,360 Concerned aesthetically about what you're putting behind you 572 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,600 here, so you know, it's fine. Well, I, I will send an interior 573 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,920 designer over. We have a great fashion program 574 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,160 here at IU, so we'll get someone from Eskenazi to come over and 575 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,040 and talk through things. It'll be OK, OK. 576 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,720 I promise. Yeah, but. 577 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,680 But I will, I will say, I mean, this is actually a comment that 578 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,080 I liked. This is in regards to Kurt 579 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,120 Signetti's wife. She has been very adamant how 580 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,120 she really likes it here. And there's a question in that 581 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,640 who's just connect podcast. It was really long winded, like 582 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,080 if you could time travel, I don't know if you saw that. 583 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,000 And it's like, could you go in the future of the past? 584 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,800 And what Kurt said is I want to be in the present. 585 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,240 I've loved it here, loved what's happening. 586 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,640 And I think just goes to show that there there's been a lot, a 587 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,560 lot happened. I mean, once the season gets 588 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,560 going, it flies. And it seems like as a head 589 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,120 coach, it's hard to kind of soak it in. 590 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,840 And I think having that bye week was a nice time to, you know, 591 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,040 sit back and realize like this seems 6 enough like, and, and 592 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,680 kind of realize some of some of the positive feedback from a fan 593 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,600 base that has been so dormant for so long and all of that. 594 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,280 So I mean, I, I think that's just fueled in a positive 595 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,400 response from from, from what Kirsten that he's had in his 596 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,960 time here so far. Let's tackle a couple others 597 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,760 while we got time here. So David asks. 598 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,360 I hate to ask or have to ask. I'm coming to the game with a 599 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,960 full house. Should I bring my own food and 600 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,560 beverage? Will the food and beverage 601 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,280 service be overwhelmed at the stadium now? 602 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,520 Our, our buddy Hooperazzi noted accurately that at the last game 603 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,120 there were 48,000 fans and the Food Lions were short. 604 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,600 I, I, you know, obviously you're adding another 5000 or so fans. 605 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080 But I'm telling you folks, we talked about this a few weeks 606 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,360 ago. The, the in person experience is 607 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,960 significantly upgraded from what it was in 2021 when a lot of you 608 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,880 came last time. There's a lot more concessions. 609 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,080 They're much better worked. There's there's, there's 610 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,200 personnel free, like place where you can grab food and beverage. 611 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,920 You know, obviously there will be some lines. 612 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,520 I think 'cause you know, there's going to be a lot of people 613 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,120 there, but I don't think you're going to be stranded for hours 614 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,960 trying to get water or anything like that. 615 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,120 I mean, it's a much better set up. 616 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,880 There's a lot more food stands. So I wouldn't worry about that. 617 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,920 And if you know, certainly, I think, you know, the, the 618 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,320 athletic department has really kind of doubled down on trying 619 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,160 to make sure that that's a good experience and I think they've 620 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,520 done a good job making that happen. 621 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,720 So. Yeah, I do want to comment on 622 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,720 the on the concessions went to it was right before the year 623 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,800 started. They they unveiled some of the 624 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,160 new things they were adding. And one was like with the 625 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,040 Hoosier dog, the how they're adding Buffalo Louise ever bowl 626 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,520 and got to test out the food. And I will say very good. 627 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,560 So if if you're going and want to get some food at Memorial 628 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,720 Stadium, I would recommend one of the one of the newer options 629 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,360 because I think they did a really good job. 630 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,360 And they they did some of those little convenient like grab and 631 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,920 go marts all around the stadium as well. 632 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,400 Very easy to get in and out. So they did a good job investing 633 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,240 into something that is more accessible and not just these 634 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,800 long winded lines that, you know, take half a quarter to get 635 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,520 your cheeseburger. Ross asked a question we fielded 636 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,760 on on the main arms in Castro. If the fever dream continues, is 637 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,040 it better to go to the College Football Playoff and get crushed 638 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,760 like or lose a couple games and win a bowl against an on level 639 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,600 opponent? Yes, Joe, go. 640 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,200 Ahead, I find this, I find the exact comment pretty funny 641 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,080 because in my household, you know, the five guys here we've 642 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,080 talked about like the potential like this was after week 3. 643 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,840 It's like I really have a chance to kind of naked into the CFP, 644 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,680 stuff like that. And we were always joking, like 645 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,480 how cool would that be to go to Athens, get smacked by 70, but 646 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,600 be able to report on a game in Athens, a college football game. 647 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,600 So as a reporter standpoint, I would love to be able to go to a 648 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,160 College Football Playoff atmosphere no matter the score 649 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,000 line. I think that would be surreal 650 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,480 and kind of an unforgettable moment. 651 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,160 And as a program standpoint, I mean, you got to start 652 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,560 somewhere. And I think getting to that even 653 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,440 more national level like that is pretty much the highest you can 654 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,040 go outside of winning the national championship is making 655 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,520 it onto this new 12 team format playoff. 656 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,120 That's that stepping stones right there. 657 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680 I mean, that's how a team is able to generate some traction. 658 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,640 I know there's been some history with teams that come in and get 659 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,600 blown out and then they're not able to completely rebuild the 660 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,760 way they did. But I mean, you got to start 661 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,240 somewhere. I mean, I, I think the 662 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,960 commenters that responded in Chad hit the nail on the head. 663 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,920 You, you take them if you're I don't, I first of all, don't 664 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,840 think you would necessarily get drubbed in the College Football 665 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,000 Playoff. I think this team is too good 666 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,760 offensively. You know, that that at the very 667 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,040 least they would keep at a a sprightly game. 668 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,680 Or maybe the score was like, you know, the over under needed to 669 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,960 be like 85 or something like that, that. 670 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,920 Is true, I think. I think depending on who they 671 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,240 played, like if they got, if they got a draw like against 672 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,040 Oregon or something like that, that over under might be upwards 673 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,160 of like 70 just because the two offenses. 674 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,360 But even more on that, and I think you hit a really important 675 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:47,440 part of this, the the juice that you get now in a 12 team 676 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,320 playoff. Like now, like in the old days, 677 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,400 it's like what you could say, well, IU hasn't won a bowl since 678 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,800 1991 and they barely been to bowls since then. 679 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,280 And going to a bowl was kind of like the if you get your New 680 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,440 Year 6 bowl, that'd be great. But any bowl was fine in the 12 681 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,760 team playoff format. Recruits, transfers, coaches, 682 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,120 you know, financial resources, they're going to look like who 683 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,000 are the 12 teams that made the playoff. 684 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,719 And if you're one of those 12, especially in the first year, 685 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,560 like there's juice there that you can squeeze for quite a 686 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,639 while in terms of being able to bring people into your program. 687 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,520 Now, people take Indiana seriously because Indiana made 688 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,840 the playoff. What's frightening in a good 689 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,320 way, if we're talking fever dreams, Ross and Joe and Emily, 690 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,639 is a lot of the projections I'm seeing right now, and they're 691 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:34,040 just projections I know. Just projections. 692 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,440 It's not just Indiana in the playoff, It's Indiana hosting a 693 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:44,360 first round playoff game because the top four teams, the top four 694 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,880 teams get buys. Teams 567 and eight host the 695 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,600 first round the weekend of graduation at IU, Friday the the 696 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:59,120 20th, Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd. 697 00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:03,680 So imagine if you will, IU hosting Alabama, which is 698 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,960 actually a draw that I saw in a College Football Playoff game in 699 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,680 Memorial Stadium. That would be a level of wild, 700 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,200 and it would cause so many travel issues for so many 701 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,800 students who should be home at that point spending time with 702 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,160 their families, but are instead sticking around Bloomington for 703 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,120 an extra few days. It would be amazing. 704 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,000 I. I will say just out of the topic 705 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,480 of the whole 12 team, I really I really like the fact that the 706 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,320 first round is at the the better seeded. 707 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,560 He gives one more home game. I think it's going to be a 708 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,280 really cool atmosphere for the for whichever schools are 709 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,120 hosting. But I mean, if we're getting 710 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,640 real hypothetical, I mean we can come back five weeks from now 711 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,560 and be like, wow, how about how about those talks? 712 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,840 But. Hey, you know what they're 713 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,520 hosting? Alabama for the College Football 714 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,000 Playoff. Wow, it's all Caitlin de Boer 715 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,480 Homecoming, too. Look at that. 716 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640 All, all I'll say is this and then we got to wrap up on this, 717 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,320 'cause we're over time now. But what I will say is right 718 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:07,280 now, if you go to ESPNS NCAA Football page and you go to the 719 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,040 the FPI, which is the football power Index and you look at the 720 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,320 particulars as far as percentage chance to make the playoffs. 721 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,200 I will note that right now of all of the teams in college 722 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,600 football, here are the here's the order of the teams in order 723 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,680 of like the percentage that they're likely to make the 724 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,840 playoff. It goes Texas, Oregon, Ohio 725 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,800 State, Penn State, Miami. That's your top five. 726 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,400 Alabama, excuse me, Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame, Iowa State 727 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,000 and Indiana. Indiana has the 10th highest 728 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,480 odds to make the College Football Playoff. 729 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,960 This is not fever dreaming. Now, there's a lot of football 730 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,280 left to be played, but my God, everybody embrace the fever 731 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,080 dream. Embrace talking about this 732 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,520 stuff. You may not get a chance to talk 733 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,840 about it in these optimistic terms moving forward. 734 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,520 You might as well enjoy it while it's here. 735 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,600 And look, if Indiana goes out and loses to Nebraska, well, 736 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,560 that sucks. But your reset priorities and 737 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,200 reset expectations until they lose the game, in my mind, 738 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,360 they're going to win every game. And I think that that's a that's 739 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,760 something we can all hopefully agree on and just embrace the 740 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,160 optimism. Yeah, I, I mean, I will say it's 741 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,680 been something that I've monitored and and very curious 742 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,720 about how Kurt Signetti is to the media after a loss. 743 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,520 I have been not waiting for it, but it's just like when the time 744 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,480 comes, if if the time comes at this point, what that's going to 745 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,840 be like. But from a from a fan 746 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,720 standpoint, like you said, 10th best percentage to be in the 747 00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:41,200 College Football Playoff 6 and O one of two teams in the entire 748 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,400 nation that has not trailed for a single second. 749 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,560 Indiana, an army of all teams. Let's go go service academies, 750 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,880 but embrace that, like you said, I mean, go to Memorial B Rowdy. 751 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,640 I mean, Memorial Stadium has been a dormant to land for a 752 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,320 while. I mean, it has a chance to be a 753 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,760 real raucous atmosphere. I mean, it's not capacity wise. 754 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,440 It doesn't stack up with, you know, Beaner Stadium, Neyland, 755 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,360 any of the, you know, top venues like that. 756 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,360 But it's more of a compact type environment and it can generate 757 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,840 some noise. And it all starts with the fans. 758 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,240 And like the players and like coaches said, the energy the 759 00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:21,360 fans give relates to the energy they have on the field. 760 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,120 And we've never really, yeah, we've never really had a game in 761 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,840 the current configuration of Memorial Stadium, where 762 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,200 everything went right and we heard the full voice of Memorial 763 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,880 Stadium. I'll be fascinated to see what 764 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,800 we get this weekend as Indiana host Nebraska. 765 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,600 Noon kick, 7:00 AM gates, for those of you that are going to 766 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,120 be tailgating, I will be out there at 7:00 AM. 767 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,320 I mean, early morning, but I'm looking forward to it and I'm 768 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,000 excited already. I can't wait until we get 769 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,840 further on into the week. So much fun stuff. 770 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,840 It's going to be going on, of course, starting with Hoosier 771 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,960 hysteria coming up on Friday and then feeding right in the 772 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,200 Indiana versus Nebraska on Saturday at noon. 773 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,720 So we'll go ahead and wrap up. Joe, any final thoughts from you 774 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,560 before we do so? I like this comment right here 775 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,560 of Winner owns the Go Big Red slogan. 776 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,000 But no, not really. I mean, this should be a fun 777 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,400 one. I think the atmosphere in 778 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,240 Bloomington, the buzz in Bloomington is real from all 779 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,120 sports. I mean, soccer plays on Friday 780 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,760 night, Hoosier stereo Friday night. 781 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,080 It's homecoming week as well. I mean, in a foot six and O 782 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,880 football team is just the icing on the cake for you know, this 783 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,840 is a school, a city that hasn't had this type of football, like 784 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,960 you've said in quite a while. Been seeing comments. 785 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,800 It's been since the 80s. They've seen a dis complete of a 786 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,760 football team. So embrace the times that are 787 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,800 here and cursing that is for real. 788 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,920 And he could get me running through a wall. 789 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,880 I can't lie. We will be back next week. 790 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,800 We'll recap what happened in the Nebraska game. 791 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,040 We'll be previewing Washington with that next one. 792 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,240 Be sure to check out all of the content on IU sports media as 793 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:07,040 Hoosier Network, IUSTV, Indiana Daily, Student, WIUX, all with 794 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,880 some great stuff coming out throughout the course of this 795 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,440 week.

With all of these things going 799 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,200 on simultaneously, this is the best time. 800 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:25,000 To be an IU fan.
