Morning Checkdown.  1:06:20 - 1:17:56 Butler Men’s Basketball Head Coach Ronald Nored joins us to recap Sunday’s exhibition vs Indiana. He was impressed with the atmosphere in Hinkle Fieldhouse, and the excitement of the fans. He says that this exhibition season is about learning and improving by the time the regular season starts. He also comments on what it was like to have Brad Stevens in the building to support him.  1:17:56 - 1:23:55 More discussions on Colts roster changes throughout the years and how it affects the team in the current day.  1:23:55 - 1:48:30 We continue our flashback of the 2006 Colts Super Bowl season. We hear Antoine Bethea’s thoughts going into that season and how he could make an impact. We have truly been impressed with both the return of Tyrese Haliburton, and how Ivica Zubac has been able to blend into the lineup with him. This will be a very exciting season as we get it started here in a week. Morning Checkdown.  1:48:30 - 1:58:58 We talk about the ticket prices for IU vs Ohio State. Ohio State has only given up one pass play for more than 30 yards this season. Kevin and James name that Pacers players that they feel haven’t been talked about enough and are excited for. Kevin continues to plan how he can watch the Notre Dame game while at a wedding.  1:58:58 - 2:04:06 Jake Query joins from Rally House today, and he previews his show as well as opportunities for fans to win gift cards.

00:00 – 15:51 Kevin breaks down his scary Colts thoughts. Many of Ballard’s draft picks throughout his tenure have been very horrific and underwhelming. The issues with the Colts are from the top down, and there are ten years' worth of evidence.  15:51 – 28:06 ESPN’s Stephen Holder joins to explain the Colts’ involvement in Marvin Harrison Jr. and how heavy they were in pursuing him. The Colts much rather would’ve had a healthy Michael Pittman Jr., and that Keenan Allen has been underwhelming this season. Recycling former Lou Anarumo players is a tactic that doesn’t work in the NFL.  28:06 – 37:01 Butler Men’s Basketball Head Coach Ronald Nored joins us to recap Sunday’s exhibition vs Indiana. He was impressed with the atmosphere in Hinkle Fieldhouse, and the excitement of the fans. He says that this exhibition season is about learning and improving by the time the regular season starts.

We hear Antoine Bethea’s thoughts going into that season and how he could make an impact.

Steven Godfrey from Yahoo Sports joins to give Kevin advice on his wedding and Saturday Night Football situation. He also provides some insight on the matchup between IU and Ohio State. He also says that he wants some chaos and wouldn’t mind Big Ten success to disappoint SEC fans. He also talks the Notre Dame and BYU matchup. Steven also gives his take on Arch Manning and is the criticism around him is justified.

00:00 – 12:51 Kevin is still buzzing from last night’s Monday Night Football game. The first overtime win for Josh Allen came against the Rams. James is back from Pittsburgh and got a chance to catch up on some sleep and errands. The weather in Pittsburgh became a bit of a non-factor, despite what we were thinking going into last Sunday. Minimal cause for concern for Tyrese Haliburton tweaking his ankle during the Pacers’ first preseason game We’re still looking forward to seeing him in the new ABA jerseys later this season.  12:51 - 20:07 Morning Checkdown  20:07 - 42:10 The Ohio State matchup is very achievable for the Hoosiers. We’ve seen this team lose, but the Hoosiers defense will need to be on their best behavior. The Texans have made a move for Marvin Harrison Jr. Are we surprised the Colts didn’t pursue harder? They haven’t done much for their WR room aside from the late acquisition of Keenan Allen.  42:10 - 1:05:35 There will be many eyes on Indiana in the world of college football this weekend with Purdue playing on Friday and seeking their third consecutive Big Ten win, Ohio State vs IU in Bloomington, and Notre Dame vs BYU. Kevin revisits Curt Cignetti’s quote of how “Good teams find a way to win.” They discuss what this win could mean to the Hoosiers, but also what effects a loss could have. Cignetti spoke about Jeremiah Smith and called him a “Freak” and a “wild player.” Kevin faces a potential disaster this weekend, since he has to attend a wedding during Notre Dame’s game.

He also talks the Notre Dame and BYU matchup. Steven also gives his take on Arch Manning and is the criticism around him is justified.  1:22:48 - 1:24:51 We close out Hour 2 by debriefing the discussion of Indiana and their differences in playmaking compared to last season. Nick Marsh was truly impressive against Nebraska, proving it’s not just a Charlie Becker receiving room.  1:24:51 - 1:45:16 As we consider the problems that the Colts have dealt with this season, we need to give more attention to how Jonathan Taylor hasn’t been able to splash like he usually does. Part of it is due to Daniel Jones not producing on his end, so the run becomes more predictable and stoppable. The Titans aren’t relatively strong in any category, so a lopsided win shouldn’t be a reason to believe the Colts are back. More of attempting to find a way that Kevin can watch the Notre Dame game at the wedding. Morning Checkdown.  1:45:16 - 1:55:30 The Pacers’ new throwback uniforms are truly amazing. There are few opportunities left in the preseason for Tyrese Haliburton to get more reps with Ivica Zubac. He’s mentioned he hasn’t had this much space when playing alongside a big, but Zubac also can’t stretch the floor like Myles Turner did.  1:55:30 - 2:03:50 Jake Query joins to close out the show. He and the guys discuss who could be next in the Colts Ring of Honor. Kevin previews his conversation with Bob Sanders and how he could potentially be a candidate.

00:00 – 16:36 There will be many eyes on Indiana in the world of college football this weekend with Purdue playing on Friday and seeking their third consecutive Big Ten win, Ohio State vs IU in Bloomington, and Notre Dame vs BYU. Kevin revisits Curt Cignetti’s quote of how “Good teams find a way to win.” They discuss what this win could mean to the Hoosiers, but also what effects a loss could have.

He also provides some insight on the matchup between IU and Ohio State. He also says that he wants some chaos and wouldn’t mind Big Ten success to disappoint SEC fans. He also talks the Notre Dame and BYU matchup. Steven also gives his take on Arch Manning and is the criticism around him is justified.  33:19 - 49:04 As we consider the problems that the Colts have dealt with this season, we need to give more attention to how Jonathan Taylor hasn’t been able to splash like he usually does. Part of it is due to Daniel Jones not producing on his end, so the run becomes more predictable and stoppable. The Titans aren’t relatively strong in any category, so a lopsided win shouldn’t be a reason to believe the Colts are back. More of attempting to find a way that Kevin can watch the Notre Dame game at the wedding. 

00:00 – 15:47 Redzone struggles were the name of the game for the Colts as they couldn't get anything going on the run and couldn't put anything in the endzone. There were also problems with missed tackles throughout the game. Jaylen Warren couldn't be stopped from having a big game with a touchdown in the air (80-yards) and on the ground (50-yards). It's wild to accept that the Hoosiers have become the Chiefs-like team that will inevitably find their way to a win. They now face the possibility of being played out of the CFP depending on how the matchup goes with Ohio State. We also learn that Greg Rakestraw's TV debut in Indiana was for singing of all things.  15:47 – 42:48 Weather conditions were expected to be an issue going into yesterday's game against the Steelers but it ended up not being the case. Daniel Jones avoided turnovers, which has been one of the key conversations surrounding him. He was still not much of a factor in the loss. It has been a great season for Spencer Shrader considering he was fighting for a roster spot during training camp, but it does not fare well at all for the Colts as a whole. We look down the Colts schedule within the coming weeks and wonder if they'll matter. Greg Rakestraw breaks down his ultra-busy weekend and previews some high school football action. Morning Checkdown.  42:48 – 1:12:26 James Boyd joins and breaks down what he saw at Acrisure Stadium yesterday. He tells us about the tone in the locker room after the loss. He said that players are not properly holding themselves accountable. This team also has not had a notable win in the Shane Steichen era. In Bloomington, this obviously isn't the same team from last year but they have still been strong going into Saturday's game against Ohio State. Morning Checkdown.
