1 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,440 You're listening to the Back Home Network presented by Home 2 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:23,520 Field Apparel. Hi folks, welcome back to 3 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,400 Crimson Cash. We're keeping the podcast streak 4 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,240 alive. This is like the 7th podcast 5 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,520 this week. Galen has been all over it. 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,240 Tons of good stuff. Actually just got off with 7 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,760 Galen. We did our I hopped on a 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,360 preview. I was like, this is a big week. 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,560 I got to do a preview. I totally screwed up last week. 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,640 I completely forgot about Crimson Cash. 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,200 It was a bye week stuff going on. 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,280 So that's that's on me was not on James. 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,520 And I know if the, the, the line out there was probably, you 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,000 know, definitely, you know, plus 500. 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,280 James was the one who missed it. But no, it's my fault. 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,600 Then we do want to. So before we get started though, 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720 do you want to shout out to our friends over at home field 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,440 apparel?

But this is the week, man. 24 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,120 This is the week it could all happen. 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,480 Oh man, I'm so stoked for this. Like, I don't even care about 26 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880 any of these other games. Like, you're just going to throw 27 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,840 each game. I'm just going to pass, pass, 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,160 pass. Let's get to the IU game because 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,760 that's all I really care about this week. 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,720 I am all over it from all sorts of different betting angles. 31 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,040 I can't wait, but there is also a shitty slate of Big 10 games 32 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880 going along with the premier match up in college football 33 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,200 this weekend. There is. 34 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,000 It's funny, if you would have asked me beginning of the 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000 season, what's the premier game this week, probably would have 36 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,680 been Wisconsin, Nebraska. Yeah, probably. 37 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,160 That would probably been the best one on the board. 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Yeah, yeah. All right, let's let's go 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,560 through the lines quickly. Then we can talk as much IU Ohio 40 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,320 State as we want because that's that's fun to talk about. 41 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,840 Let's go to the other side of the Big 10, the worst team in 42 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840 the Big 10. So much fun to say. 1 to 9 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Purdue, where's my there we go. Purdue music, even not at home. 44 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,520 Just when you suck this bad, you get to be made fun of every 45 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,360 week. Purdue is going to Michigan 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560 State. Michigan State is a 13 1/2 point 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,440 favorite at home against Purdue. Purdue sucks. 48 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,240 That's just, I mean, it's just a straight out fact. 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840 I don't like a huge spread like this, but I do love that it's 50 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,000 under 2 touchdowns. Sparty seemed to game against 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680 the Hoosiers and they don't have a lot of chances to beat up on 52 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,120 other teams, so I think they're going to take every opportunity 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,200 to do so. So give me Sparty to roll here. 54 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,040 8:00 PM Fox game, too. That's odd. 55 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,840 Yeah. I actually, I actually don't 56 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,040 mind the under on that either. 48 1/2 I think that might be in 57 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,520 play, but I I like the spread. Michigan State to cover that 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,880 better. Not a bad call, all right? 59 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,240 Illinois going out to New Jersey to play Rutgers. 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360 Illinois still not sure if they're good or not. 61 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Like we still wonder. Illinois goes in as a one point 62 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,320 favorite going into Rutgers. All right, Well, I will let you 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,680 know, Scott, Illinois is not good. 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,120 They're not good. They are the vaunted big win 65 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,480 that Penn State has, right? You know, and because, you know, 66 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,440 I believe Penn State has a bunch of frauds. 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,040 So Illinois, I don't believe they're that good. 68 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,760 Rutgers has kind of bit me in the ass a few times this year. 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,240 So I'm kind of hesitant to take them, but I do like them in this 70 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,720 game. They've looked a lot better the 71 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,000 last couple weeks. They do both have a recent 72 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,160 common opponent in Minnesota. Illinois lost, Rutgers won. 73 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680 So I don't know what to do this. I'm going to stay away from it. 74 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,120 I'm not going to bet it. But if I were, I would take 75 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400 Rutgers on the money line and get some plus odds. 76 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Oh, you're not going to bet, but we lost your audio. 77 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,480 Hello. Maybe we lost. 78 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:09,140 My audio, Nobody's calling me now. 79 00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:14,700 You're muted, Scott. I can see the mute button on 80 00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,740 your screen. Can you hear me? 81 00:04:18,779 --> 00:04:20,459 All right, So you're going to stay away from this? 82 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:22,560 I I am going to stay away. Yeah. 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,600 But if I were to bet it, I would probably take Rutgers. 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200 I might, I maybe if you're watching the game, I thought you 85 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,360 will be. But if if somebody's sitting 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240 around watching that game, maybe just keep an eye on it. 87 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:35,560 Whoever gets up first, maybe take the other team to cover the 88 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,360 spread over a touchdown at that point. 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,360 Yeah, it's a noon game. No one else is watching this 90 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,040 game. Yeah, no, Next up we have Iowa 91 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840 at Maryland. What's funny, I have we have the 92 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:48,080 songs for our teams on at home. I have a Maryland song. 93 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,240 Don't, don't tell me anything. I, I was like looking through 94 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,920 the slate today, loading up my my Rd. caster to get the audio 95 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,720 in. And I was like, man, I was like, 96 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,640 we don't have a Maryland song. And I looked at my files. 97 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920 Oh, we do have a Maryland song. I totally forgot what it is. 98 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,680 So I'm about to find out what a song what? 99 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,120 It's not a song, it's a movie. Quote Crab. 100 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,440 Jason and football, that's what. Maryland does. 101 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,360 That's. Right back. 102 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,520 Now I remember OK, Iowa, Maryland, Maryland is a 6 1/2 103 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,520 point underdog at home with their crab cakes. 104 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Yeah, and over under 48 on this game, which Iowa seems about 105 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:26,960 right. He's. 106 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,480 Doing 45 1/2. Wow. 107 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,240 So we have seen some movement there. 108 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Yeah. But we still have Iowa at -6 109 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,680 1/2. I'm going to take the Hawkeyes 110 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,920 to cover. OK, Next up we have Wisconsin at 111 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,840 Nebraska. If I had the sound of a balloon 112 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,000 being let go, I think that's what we could do, but we don't. 113 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,720 Nebraska is a 1 1/2 point favorite at home against 114 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,360 Wisconsin. What a what an interesting and 115 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,480 horrible game this will be. I, I think both, if there's a 116 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440 way both teams could lose, these are the two programs that would 117 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,200 probably do it right now in the Big 10. 118 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,680 But I'm going to take Wisconsin to win outright, so that's where 119 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,640 I'm at on this. I think it's hilarious if 120 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,920 Nebraska does not become bowl eligible. 121 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,320 Would be like the funniest thing after they started 5:00 and 1:00 122 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,920 and then we destroyed them and literally broke their souls and 123 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,080 they couldn't become bowl eligible. 124 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,400 That would be pretty fantastic. If you're true, they went from 125 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,160 being good to suck like just as as quick as possible. 126 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,000 All right, Next up we have Northwestern playing Michigan, 127 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,640 who I guess sucks now because we beat him. 128 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,840 I, I always, you know, it's just keep getting the whiplash on 129 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:39,960 whether teams are good or bad depending on how we're playing 130 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,000 them. But Northwestern goes in as a 10 131 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,240 1/2 point underdog to Michigan. OK, now I've got a total on this 132 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,080 of 36 1/2. That's what I'm seeing too. 133 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,360 Which is one of the lowest totals in the Big 10 all year. 134 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,680 So I'm going to take the over it just it, it, it just screams to 135 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,640 me this is out of the norm. This is different. 136 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,320 And of course, yes, this could be like a, you know, 20 to 10 137 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,000 game. Weather's not going to be great 138 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,360 on Saturday in northern Indiana or southern Michigan. 139 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,840 So I don't know. I, I, I like, I like the over 140 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,760 here, though. I I think Northwestern can put 141 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360 some put up some points and Michigan will as well. 142 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,560 Since I'm also on the fraud bus with you, with Penn State, they 143 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,320 get the they get a Penn State, the kitties. 144 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,760 I've got a new one for them. Next time it's going to be the 145 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,680 song Kitty by Lump or by by President of the United States 146 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,080 of America. It's a song, Lump. 147 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,640 We'll see. Let me, let me think. 148 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,960 Let me think about that one for a SEC. 149 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,720 This is deep, Deep cuts Penn State going into Minnesota. 150 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,000 Penn State is a 11 1/2 point favorite on the road, a double. 151 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,120 Digit Rd. favorite against a fairly decent Minnesota team. 152 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Yeah, screw that. I'll take the Gophers and the 153 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720 points frauds. They're frauds. 154 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,280 All right, last up this this is for both of them. 155 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,520 It's just a battle of California's in the Rose Bowl. 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,480 USC, which has had quite a disappointing season, is going 157 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,440 into the Rose Bowl. They are a four and a half. 158 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,200 USC is a four and a half point favorite and on the road against 159 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,160 UCLA. This is one of the best football 160 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,920 games to watch every year because not only is it in the 161 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880 Rose Bowl, but both teams have great uniforms and they wear 162 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,480 their home kits like that's. It's just fantastic. 163 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,799 I love watching it. I like points, points, points, 164 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,679 points, points, points, points. 51 and a half, 51 1/2, 165 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,480 ridiculous. Take the over here. 166 00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,320 This is a no brainer to me. These these teams look at their 167 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,840 head to heads. Over the past five years, the 168 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,280 winning team has scored over 51 in three of those, I believe. 169 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,200 So I think we're pretty good here taking the over. 170 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160 All right, we get to it. The game we've been waiting for, 171 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,000 ranked IU. That's nuts to say against 172 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,920 second ranked Ohio State. Indiana comes in as a 12 point 173 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,160 underdog at home. Give us your thoughts on the 174 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,240 line movement and then feel free to talk about all of the lead up 175 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,080 to this game and then your thoughts on what's going to 176 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,360 happen. There's so much meat on the bone 177 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840 here, so go nuts. This line's bullshit. 178 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,120 I'm just calling that out right now, OK? 179 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Before the Michigan game, this early line had come out at 9 180 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,600 1/2. After IU beats Michigan, the 181 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,120 line starts to creep up and they have the bye week and the line 182 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,800 keeps going up. We were at 11 before Ohio State 183 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,280 dismantled Northwestern. Then it got up to 1313 1/2 at 184 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120 some books. We're sitting at what, 12 now, 185 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,480 right? All right. 186 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,520 You can still get it 12 1/2 at Bet MGM as of right now. 187 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,960 So, but most of the others are at 12. 188 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,080 So we've seen that go back down. I think that's probably where 189 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,240 we're going to settle in. We may see it go back down to 190 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,280 11:00, somewhere in that range. So you may lose the point. 191 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,680 Get it while you can. I got it at 13 earlier in the 192 00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:12,040 week. It's kind of like watching the 193 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,040 stock market. I mean, you know, with these 194 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,040 early line bets, you got to kind of follow where the trends are 195 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,440 going and look at multiple books. 196 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,120 So that's one thing to keep in mind with this. 197 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,120 But this line being bullshit is because do you know what they 198 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,240 have the IU team total at? No, I mean if you want and 1/2. 199 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Some books you can get it at 17 1/2, some at 19 1/2. 200 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,280 Indiana University, who has not scored less than 20 points all 201 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,600 freaking year. All right, I think that I use 202 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,080 offense as being vastly underrated and Ohio State's 203 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,160 defense is being vastly overrated in this matchup, and I 204 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,120 think that that's where Vegas is really wrong. 205 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720 I'm going to give you some other stuff that I love on this game, 206 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,680 all right? You guys like prop bets, you 207 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:01,800 like single game parlays. They're suckers bets, all right, 208 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,920 but we all want to do them because we get the bonuses and 209 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,920 we get the boost or we might get a, you know, a bet, a risk free 210 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,640 token or whatever. Here's some things this is 211 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,240 ridiculous to me. If you ever bet prop bets look 212 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,200 at this Justin Ellison to score a touchdown plus 1/29 plus odds 213 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,640 for Justin Ellison to score a touchdown and Tyson Tyson Lawn 214 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,480 at plus 156 and get this miles price at anywhere from plus 3:50 215 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,560 to plus 485 anytime touchdown score. 216 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,600 I like all this. I mean, five, you can get almost 217 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,080 5 to one on Miles Price to score a touchdown and you don't know 218 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,080 what his over under yards are. 24 and a half, 24 1/2 receiving 219 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,960 yards for Miles Price. I mean, they're practically 220 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,520 giving you money here, people. Now, Ellison and Lawton, they've 221 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,640 got 40 and 34 1/2 are their over under on yards. 222 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,360 One of those is going to go over, right? 223 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,960 I don't know which one. I don't know which one. 224 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,440 And so that's a little scary and you may want to stay away from 225 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,160 that. But here's another one for you 226 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,040 because Shawn Williams, 25 1/2, this is over under yards. 227 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,080 So I mean, we've got some really, really low stuff here, 228 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,760 some low hanging fruit that I think you can kind of pick off 229 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880 if if you really want to. And I, I love this IU team 230 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,680 total. And 17 1/2 is ridiculous. 231 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,320 You can take some points off of that, you know, parlay with, you 232 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,040 know, something else too. You know, maybe you want to 233 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,000 parlay IU on the spread with, you know, the team total that 234 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,840 you know, over 13 1/2 or something like that and maybe 235 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,120 take plus 17 1/2. You're something to get plus 236 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,960 odds on that. So there are a lot of different 237 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 ways to come at this if you want to do that. 238 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,160 I also recommend sprinkling a little on IU to win. 239 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,840 Now. I have a lot riding on IU to win 240 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,080 currently because if they make the Big 10 championship game, my 241 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,320 $10 bet pays out over $1100 from earlier this season. 242 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,920 So I have a ton riding on this game. 243 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,720 But my buddy texted me he's like, are you going to are you 244 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,200 going to hedge? Are you going to hedge on Ohio 245 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,640 State? I'm like. 246 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,120 No. I'd have to take it like a 247 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,240 second mortgage to like get that amount like to, you know, cover, 248 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,480 you know, the minus odds, they're like, the thing makes no 249 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,120 sense, you know, So no, we're not doing that. 250 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:09,880 I do like hedging when it's appropriate. 251 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,520 And in in this instance, it's not because the original odds 252 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,040 were just so unbelievably insane that IE would make the Big 10 253 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,520 championship game. But here we are. 254 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,120 And I like their chances in this game. 255 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,400 I actually like them to win in this game. 256 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,360 I, I think they've got a 40% chance to win. 257 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,160 Ohio State's offensive line, the injury to their centre, that's a 258 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,400 huge thing. I mean, a centre injury is, is 259 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,240 big. And they're playing with kind of 260 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,200 a makeshift unit anyways. And we have a defensive line 261 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,680 that can create a lot of problems that they, they show a 262 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:46,080 lot of different looks. We're not afraid to blitz. 263 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,440 It's, it's, it's just, it's, it's great. 264 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,640 And the other thing we do is we tackle, we wrap up. 265 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,440 And that's what they rely on is not being, you know, not getting 266 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,280 wrapped up, not being tackled. So can we get Judkins, 267 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:07,400 Henderson, you know, Smith, who's their freshman wide 268 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,480 receiver? I can't remember his name, 269 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760 Jeremiah something or other. I don't know. 270 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520 Anyways, he's really good. I don't know his name, but I 271 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,520 guess he's really good, you know, but Abuka and you know, 272 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,680 and and so you know, those guys, can we get them down? 273 00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,280 Can we wrap them? Can we keep them from getting 274 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,920 those extra yards? That was one of the things in 275 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,640 the second-half against Michigan, Don and have been 276 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,520 Edwards. I don't know if it if the stats 277 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,080 showed out, but watching the game, being at the game, it felt 278 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720 like every time he got hit, he was able to squirt ahead for an 279 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,120 extra yard or two in that second-half. 280 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,520 And and it's just it's just like that's that's demoralizing for a 281 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,240 defense, you know, So can we stop that from happening? 282 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,160 The other thing I'm really worried about is Will Howard 283 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,760 rushing for, you know, some wacky first down a couple times, 284 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,240 you know, and then my biggest, greatest fear is it's a close 285 00:14:54,240 --> 00:15:00,480 game and there's some wacky call that goes against IU that 286 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,000 completely turns the tide of the game. 287 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,160 The Big 10 literally changed their bylaws four years ago to 288 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,640 keep IU out of the Big 10 championship game. 289 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000 They are not above that and so that worries me a little bit 290 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600 The. Other week with Oregon and 291 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,000 Wisconsin where Wisconsin like just a wild chop block call that 292 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,480 wasn't there. The exact same thing there, you 293 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,360 know, And so that worries me a little because I don't, I don't 294 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,080 know that they think we're that good of a story, although I 295 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,720 would disagree. I think we're the best story 296 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,320 there is. We're the fucking Dirty Dozen, 297 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,600 you know, So you know, which is the we're, we're a group of guys 298 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800 that nobody wanted that have come together. 299 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,080 I don't know if you've seen the the listing of like star 300 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,120 rankings of the two teams and like where they where they were 301 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,600 in their classes. Yeah. 302 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400 It's ridiculous. You think Curtis Fork didn't 303 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,200 want to go to Ohio State, he said. 304 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,960 They're playing at Ohio. You know, like he was Mac Player 305 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,360 of the Year. You think Ohio State even 306 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,640 sniffed or reached out to him? No, he wants to stick it to 307 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,280 them. All these guys want to stick it 308 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,440 to teams like this and to me, that's every bit as powerful as, 309 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,400 hey, we're Ohio State. We deserve to win because we're 310 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,280 Ohio State. I think Signet is going to have 311 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,000 a chip on these guys shoulders and they may, they may lose this 312 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,400 game, but there's no fucking way they're losing by double digits. 313 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,360 I just, I can't see it. I just don't see it. 314 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,560 I, I agree, I, I think that line, I'm going to hammer the, 315 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,280 the points there because I just, I think, I think Indiana's 316 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,120 getting vastly overvalued. I mean, The thing is, if you 317 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,880 just look at, you know, so last year, Michigan I think was a 318 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,280 three-point underdog at home against Ohio State, if I have 319 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,040 that correct. But you look at, you know, 320 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,920 Michigan didn't play a killer schedule last year, but they're 321 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,520 Michigan. And so when they play Ohio 322 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,920 State, you know, maybe it was a one point spread. 323 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,400 It was it was a tight spread, but it was, you know, all right, 324 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,920 they placed the soft schedule, but it's Michigan. 325 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,240 They're still there. You know if if any of if this 326 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,920 was Penn State or Michigan, not Indiana, this would not be a 13 327 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,359 or 12 point line. It it would be a 7 1/2 point 328 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,319 line at most, probably like a 6 1/2 or a 5 1/2 point line. 329 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,960 Take advantage of this. We have the we have the coaching 330 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,400 advantage in this game too. Yeah, I'm just going to say that 331 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,480 Ryan Day is not a great coach now tip Kelly, he knows what the 332 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,079 shit he's doing, you know, so I I'm worried he's going to scheme 333 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:23,880 up something brilliant. But we've also had a bye week. 334 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,480 What was the last time Signetti did coming off a bye week? 335 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,520 We won 56 to 7, you know, So I don't know, man, like I, I just 336 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,680 really like the fact that we've had a week to get rest, to 337 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,280 prepare, to be ready. And I don't know if Ohio State's 338 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,880 looking for head to Michigan. Yeah, there may. 339 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,920 Be there may be people looking forward to Michigan. 340 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,360 That's why I've said a while that that's a game they have to 341 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:49,560 win, like they have to win that Michigan game. 342 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,200 And you know, don't don't sleep on this. 343 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,360 And I, I do really believe this is a factor. 344 00:17:55,040 --> 00:18:00,000 If Indiana just can land a punch, get up, all of the 345 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,200 pressure goes on to Ohio State. You know, if Indiana gets up 346 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,920 2:50 and Ohio State goes, you know, 6 and out and then 347 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Indiana's got the ball and they're driving. 348 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,480 It looks like they might go down 17 three. 349 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,040 That whole place is going to be like, what the hell is going on? 350 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,560 All the players are going to be like we this we can't lose the 351 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,000 Indiana like, you know, it's, it's funny, I mentioned this in 352 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,800 the podcast with Galen. You know, all the conversation 353 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,680 has been about, you know, how how do we deal with an 11 and 354 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,680 one Indiana team? How do they stack up against the 355 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,000 two loss SEC team? Like just all this talk, there's 356 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,240 been very, very little talk about what happens if Indiana 357 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,360 beats Ohio State and where does Ohio State fit in? 358 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,560 They probably still they fit in just fine in the in the playoff, 359 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,640 But so I mean, now they're they're a loss of Michigan away 360 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,480 from being out of the of the College Football Playoff, You 361 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,080 know, having coaches fired. I mean, it, it gets real, real 362 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,640 messy real quick there. And I just, I look at it, you 363 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,280 know, outside of Indiana just completely getting, you know, 364 00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,120 throttle, which I don't think is happening. 365 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,520 Not that they have nothing to lose, but, you know, if it's a 366 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,240 tight game, they'll be some pressure. 367 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,600 There's going to be a lot more pressure for Ohio State. 368 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,520 They they, in my mind, they have way more riding on this and if 369 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,920 they're down, I I can feel their assholes puckering up a lot more 370 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,560 than Indiana's. Well, I think that's the plan is 371 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,640 to be aggressive, strike hard, strike fast. 372 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,880 And that's what he's been all year. 373 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000 Yeah, I mean, you know, I, I hate to go on Mike Leach here, 374 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,600 but you know, the term blitz is a defensive term that they use, 375 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,440 right? But it really comes from the 376 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,160 German word blitzkrieg, which was an overwhelming offensive 377 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,520 force coming at an opponent, right. 378 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800 And then so I think that's really what we're looking at 379 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,800 here. I mean, Cnetti wants to get that 380 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,200 that ball moving. I think we're going to see a 381 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,360 little bit of tempo. I think we're going to see, I 382 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:49,120 think we're going to see the offense looking a little bit 383 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,320 different. I think we're going to see the 384 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,120 kitchen sink. There is no play in the playbook 385 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:56,600 that is off limits this weekend. And I, I think because of that, 386 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,360 I really like our chances. I do too. 387 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,160 I do too. All right. 388 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,320 We got to get to the hot streak. All right, Yeah, it's pretty 389 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,280 simple. I win. 390 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,680 Google me. All right, we got the hot 391 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,280 streak. Give us, I have it up here. 392 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,560 Give us and there's a lot of ways you can go here, but show 393 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,680 us we're back down to 2, two games. 394 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Give us a hot streak for the week. 395 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,760 Well, this is an easy one. Pick Purdue to lose and IU to 396 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,880 cover. And who doesn't like that, 397 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,600 right? So that makes for a pretty good 398 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,120 college football weekend. Yep, Indiana to cover. 399 00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:31,240 I love all the props. You're by the way, Indiana has 400 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,880 covered 8 out of 10 games this year. 401 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:41,040 Ohio State five and five. All right, So just just remember 402 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,240 that too when you're looking at this, you know, and this is the 403 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,000 first time I used been a dog. All year too. 404 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,600 That's fairpoint. I, I. 405 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,800 Cannot they've trailed like for a total of like what, 5 minutes, 406 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,520 10 minutes all year so. Hasn't been much I I, I, I 407 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,520 cannot wait to talk to you next week because we're either going 408 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,160 to be looking college ball playoff or if we win it is you 409 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,760 know, this is where I keep. If we win, you'll hear me 410 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800 screaming in delight from Fort Wayne all the way to Westfield. 411 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,240 You will hear me screaming. Same here man, I'll be. 412 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,080 Screaming. Unless the sound of Galen 413 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:18,760 screaming from Columbus drowns me out. 414 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,120 Yes, it's. It's something where, you know, 415 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:26,720 I, I, I understand most IU fans are, are just can't fully grasp 416 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,840 the idea of going into Columbus and winning. 417 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,240 And I'm in that boat too. But I also, you know, I enjoy 418 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,520 these moments where it's all possible and 11 and O is 419 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,240 possible. And I like, I, I like just 420 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,040 playing in that space just a little bit and thinking about 421 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,720 what it would be like. And I keep coming back to if we 422 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,600 go in there and win, I really think we come out now with a 423 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,720 case to say we're the number one team in the country. 424 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,200 Like the SEC can suck and we're the number one team in the 425 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,040 country because the number one team right now is Oregon and we 426 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,000 have a common opponent in Ohio State. 427 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,320 They played them at home. We were on the road and we we 428 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,960 won. So I would say we're the number 429 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,600 one. Although I joke somehow Penn 430 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,720 State will still be above us. Like when they come out the 431 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,360 ranking, they'll find a way to put Penn. 432 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:13,760 State If we go in and we win by 17 points, Penn State will still 433 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,840 be ahead of us, Yeah. Penn State will be ranked one, 434 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,760 and they'll be like a really good strength of schedule and, 435 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,280 you know, just keep them. They got that big Illinois win. 436 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,480 Don't forget about that, Scott. Yeah, It would be really funny 437 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,640 when we win this to see what the SEC reaction would because 438 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,520 they've been, you know, trying so hard to protect themselves 439 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,640 and protect their seeds. You know, if we win, does some 440 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,560 of that ire go? Does it just go away or does it 441 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,120 go toward Penn State or Ohio State? 442 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,240 No, they will have to now bow down before their new football 443 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,320 overlords from Bloomington. So. 444 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:45,360 Or we just get the man. Ohio State really sucks. 445 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,880 Yeah, that's what it'll be. Ohio State's not any good. 446 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Yeah, I mean, Indiana hasn't beaten a, you know, a top five 447 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,240 because they'll then Ohio State will be ranked like 7th or. 8th 448 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,240 Ohio State's lost two games. Come on. 449 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,400 Beat a top five team like they're just yeah, they're 450 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,400 they're who are they going to beat? 451 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,640 Oh man, would you go to who's? Wait, wait, question. 452 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,760 Who's stupider, Ryan Rosillo or Joey Galloway? 453 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,080 What did Joey? I didn't hear Joe. 454 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,160 I heard. I heard Rosillo. 455 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,040 Galloway suggested that the Hoosiers bench Curtis Rourke for 456 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,400 the Ohio State game so he doesn't get injured. 457 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,960 That, and they can assure themselves a spot in the College 458 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,920 Football Playoff. That's ridiculous. 459 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,680 I heard Ohio State Ohio State's barstool Twitter or Instagram 460 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,520 account was had today. We should just forfeit the game 461 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,600 because. If you forfeit. 462 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,880 The NCAA shows it as a one nothing loss and like that would 463 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,040 be enough to get him in versus going in and getting throttled. 464 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,320 It's like, this is not what you would normally say, like when 465 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840 Alabama's playing Auburn, no one's like Auburn should just 466 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,760 forfeit. Like the the amount of like, oh, 467 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,800 this is so great. The kid with, you know, no legs 468 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,360 and no arms is getting to play basketball. 469 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,960 It's it's absurd. Some of the people with a little 470 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,320 respect we get. Nothing I love more than flying 471 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,920 in under the radar like this, though. 472 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,800 And nobody thinks you're going to win. 473 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,240 Nobody expects you to do anything except for the guys in 474 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,520 that locker room, and I guarantee every last one of them 475 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,800 thinks they can win this game on Saturday. 476 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,600 Saturday. I guarantee it. 477 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800 If we make the if we make the Big 10 Championship, are you 478 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,000 coming to that game? Well, hell, I'll be able to 479 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,640 afford tickets right So. Yeah, you all have 1100 bucks. 480 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760 You might be in a tweet, baby. We'll see. 481 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,080 We'll see. Would you go College Football 482 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Playoff or you host a home game? Like what? 483 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,880 What are you? I've already I did put in for 484 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480 tickets for if we host a College Football Playoff game. 485 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,320 So I've I've put in for tickets for that. 486 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,320 So I will be there if if that ends up happening. 487 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,520 OK, yeah, I would be, I would go Big 10 Championship. 488 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,160 I would go first round and then I'd probably be in watch the 489 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,720 games. Although we're we're taking a 490 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,280 trip over Christmas break. I, you know, wasn't planning on 491 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,160 having IU football in my life this long. 492 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,200 So we might, I might miss one of the games being able to go to if 493 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,880 we make like the second, third round of the college. 494 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,040 Football playoffs. If we end up in the Fiesta Bowl, 495 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,680 I know I'll be able to talk my wife into that because she loves 496 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,640 Arizona. So. 497 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,160 So fingers crossed on that. Let me ask you this. 498 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,560 I'm I'm coaching my son in basketball. 499 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,960 The schedule could not be worse for me. 500 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,080 The bat. Our game this weekend is at 1:00 501 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,880 on Saturday. I was talking to Galen. 502 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,520 He's like, just stop coaching youth sports. 503 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,240 Like all right, well, that's that's I know that's I'm I'm not 504 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,640 I I'm going to coach. I'm good father got to keep 505 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,960 doing it. I think where I've landed after 506 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,240 talking with Galen is I'm not going to try and time shift 507 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,920 this. I'm not going to try and go off 508 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,920 and then just catch the game. You know, at 3:00 when I get 509 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,320 home, I think I'm just going to watch it up until 1:00 and then 510 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,320 when I coach the I will coach my game. 511 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,240 Just keep, you know, I actually won't have my phone 'cause that 512 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,480 we we have an app where we can record the games. 513 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,400 So I'll be that'll be my phone will be recording the game. 514 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,840 So I'm just going to be, you know, just just an hour not 515 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,000 paying attention and then right back into it. 516 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000 That's kind of my, there's a local bar up here. 517 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,560 I might just hop right over to there with my family and just 518 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,120 watch the end of the game there. That's what I think I'm going to 519 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:10,560 do. I'm curious your thoughts. 520 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,160 You talked me through the last time I had to deal with this 521 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,320 coming off a plane with the Nebraska game. 522 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,680 Galen's got the better idea. So just I'd call, I'd call the 523 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,200 game, I'd cancel it. I'd say, sorry, there are, there 524 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,200 are better games going on than this piece of shit Little League 525 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,240 basketball game. I got better stuff to do, 526 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,080 fellas. I'm out. 527 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,600 That's what I do, OK. And my and my son, see, my son 528 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,640 would totally respect that. So that's where I would be. 529 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,400 I, I, I, I can't imagine a scenario where I would miss this 530 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,840 game to be at a damn Little League basketball game. 531 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,480 Like the only way is if my like wife was threatening divorce or 532 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,520 something. Like is like the kid would 533 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,880 understand, man. Like, I don't know. 534 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,160 My parents didn't go to all my shit when I was a kid and I 535 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,960 turned out OK. But I'm the head coach. 536 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,160 I'm the I, I'm the head coach. Yeah, you. 537 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,040 Cancel a game. You're exactly in the position 538 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,680 to do that. Like I mean. 539 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,960 The other kids, it's I, I hear you. 540 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,480 There's got to be some other asshole parent that's always 541 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,160 yelling at you about how you're not doing it right or playing 542 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,640 their kid enough. Tell them, hey, this Saturday 543 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,920 you get the chance to coach the team, step on up shooter, and 544 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,360 then you hand in the little playbook. 545 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,680 Shooter comes in, you know you. Know that's not this is not a 546 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,240 bad idea. Maybe that's what I do is I go 547 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,480 there, I start like two kids. I keep the rest of the team on 548 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,840 the bench. The parents start yelling and 549 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,760 say, oh, you think you can do better? 550 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,120 Fine, take my spot and then as well. 551 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,880 There you go. Yeah, just get into it with some 552 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,400 local pair. I guarantee they're probably a 553 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,240 dime a dozen in Westfield. You can probably find a carrot 554 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,760 anywhere you look. Or I get into it with the I 555 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,000 actually know the refs well, like they're, they're good guys. 556 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,760 I just be like, hey, man, just throw me out of the game, yeah. 557 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,720 Exactly. You got, oh, you got to go 558 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,000 Hackman on them. Throw me out of the game. 559 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,400 Throw me out of the game and I'll yell like a like I yell 560 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,320 like a crazy stuffed pig or something like. 561 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:01,720 On the tank, we we found your play. 562 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,280 There you go. No. 563 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,280 We got the ball on the tip. Come on, what the F you talking 564 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,400 about? And like boom, I'm out and I'm 565 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,200 like all right, see you guys later. 566 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,720 Go to the bar. Dude, I would take it a step 567 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,440 further and make such a scene that I was banned permanently 568 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,520 from the venue and then I didn't have to worry about coaching 569 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:14,280 anymore. So. 570 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,640 But. As a former Little League 571 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,040 baseball coach, that was one of the most unrewarding things I've 572 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,480 ever done in my life. None of the kids wanted to be 573 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,400 there. I didn't want to be there. 574 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,120 Nobody wanted to be there. Nobody wanted to play baseball. 575 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:29,600 Their parents. It doesn't make them do it. 576 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,680 Because baseball's no fun. Basketball's been a fun. 577 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,400 I asked all the kids who their favorite baseball player was on 578 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960 the 1st like day of practice. Just trying to get him to know. 579 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:45,120 Only one kid knew a baseball player, so that's. 580 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,680 A That's a more of a baseball problem that I think. 581 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,760 Yeah, but. I like the idea. 582 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,560 Maybe I'll just yell at the ref, but I'll do it like this. 583 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,280 I'll be like watching the game while I'm yelling at the ref 584 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,440 being like, hey, like that's a foul, That's a foul. 585 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,920 Like throw me out. Come on, we had a deal. 586 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,840 Throw me out. What would Bobby Knight do to 587 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,080 get kicked out? Yes. 588 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,600 Yeah, exactly. Chuck a chair. 589 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,440 It's awesome. Enjoy the game. 590 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,120 I will enjoy the first, third and fourth quarters. 591 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,320 I will be coaching the second quarter and not watching it. 592 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,280 And by the way, like you just know this. 593 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,320 If if we're up like 17, nothing and then going into the second 594 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,800 quarter and the second quarter, we give up 17, like I will be 595 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,440 like, I don't know if I can watch anymore, like I'm I'm the 596 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,880 bad luck. So just everyone keep that in 597 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,800 mind too. Anyway, James, you've gone long. 598 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,000 I appreciate it, man. I will see you next week. 599 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,840 Thank everybody for listening. This is Scott for Crimson Cash 600 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:40,600 signing off. Post time.
