Kevin & Query - Friday 02/24 - Purdue and IU talk from Don Fischer and Alan Karpick, Greg Rakestraw talks IHSAA Girls State Finals. Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

(00:00 - 14:33) - Alan Karpick of the On3 Network as well as GoldandBlack.com joins the program to talk about the big matchup with IU coming up in West Lafayette this Saturday. Karpick starts off by talking about what a week off for the Boilermakers basketball team could mean in this matchup. He views it as a new positive to reset and rest the team before a rough schedule. A win over IU this weekend paves the way for Purdue to win the Big Ten Championship. Will Mason Gillis get significant playing time against the Hoosiers? Karpick believes that Purdue can finish the season strong once they manage to control the ball better and mitigate turnovers. What teams could possibly give Purdue a hard time in the Big 10 or NCAA tournament?

(14:34 - 34:28) - From one guest right into another as Greg Rakestraw calls in to talk about the IHSAA girls' basketball tournament going on right now. Rakestraw stresses the special moments that come from these tournaments and how both students and parents will form these lifelong memories that stick with them for life. The 1A and 3A finals are being played between teams that are next door neighbors making for heavy rivalries in these championship games. Marc transitions to the conversation to IU and Purdue happening on Saturday. Will Ball State make the NCAA tournament? Conversation closes with some Colts talk as Bubba Ventrone has officially departs for Cleveland. Rakestraw would have liked for the Colts to keep him, but understands that the primary issue is still with the Colts roster.

(34:29 - 52:08) - Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer joins Jake and Marc to give another side of the IU vs. Purdue matchup taking place this Saturday. Jake wants to know if the Hoosiers can plug Xavier Johnson back in after injury and if he can pick up where he left off. Fischer believes that Johnson's absence has been their primary missing piece defensively. Regardless, Johnson likely will not be back for the Purdue game and is slated to possibly be available for the future Iowa matchup. Trace Jackson-Davis may not be as tired as people think he is and just had a rough night against Michigan. Jake wants to know if any type of team is IU's kryptonite. Fischer believes that it is just the consistency of the players that has lead to the Hoosier's shortcomings this season. IU's track record at home is amazing with only one loss this season but they are away at Purdue where they have struggled this year.

Kevin & Query - Friday 02/24 - Pacers Lose to the Celtics in Their First Game Back From The All-Star Breaks, Bubba Ventrone is officially gone, Purdue and IU talk from Don Fischer and Alan Karpick Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

(00:00 - 21:22) - Jake informs Marc that Professional wrestling is fake. The St. Louis Battle Hawks defeated the Seattle Sea Dragons in their XFL matchup last night. The XFL's rule changes are seemingly fun to watch even if it isn't considered to be top-tier talent in the league. Despite the loss, the Pacers game last night against the Boston Celtics was a fun one to watch. This is a big weekend for college basketball, including IU vs. Purdue. IUPUI defeated Robert Morris, snapping a four game losing streak. Aaron Rodgers is becoming more of a burden off the field compared to helpful on the field.

(21:23 - 29:36) - Morning Checkdown

(29:37 - 47:44) - Alan Karpick of the On3 Network as well as GoldandBlack.com joins the program to talk about the big matchup with IU coming up in West Lafayette this Saturday. Karpick starts off by talking about what a week off for the Boilermakers basketball team could mean in this matchup. He views it as a new positive to reset and rest the team before a rough schedule. A win over IU this weekend paves the way for Purdue to win the Big Ten Championship. Will Mason Gillis get significant playing time against the Hoosiers? Karpick believes that Purdue can finish the season strong once they manage to control the ball better and mitigate turnovers. What teams could possibly give Purdue a hard time in the Big 10 or NCAA tournament?

(47:45 - 1:11:05) - From one guest right into another as Greg Rakestraw calls in to talk about the IHSAA girls' basketball tournament going on right now. Rakestraw stresses the special moments that come from these tournaments and how both students and parents will form these lifelong memories that stick with them for life. The 1A and 3A finals are being played between teams that are next door neighbors making for heavy rivalries in these championship games. Marc transitions to the conversation to IU and Purdue happening on Saturday. Will Ball State make the NCAA tournament? Conversation closes with some Colts talk as Bubba Ventrone has officially departs for Cleveland. Rakestraw would have liked for the Colts to keep him, but understands that the primary issue is still with the Colts roster.

(1:11:06 - 1:31:54) - More Colts talk regarding the draft. When Jim Irsay said he liked the "Alabama Guy" did he mean Bryce Young, or another Alabama player? The bad news about being #1 going into the combine is that everyone is looking for a reason to make sure you are not that person anymore. C.J. Stroud and Will Levis could suddenly become huge names due to scrutiny that Bryce Young will face from the combine. Receivers are going to start selling like hotcakes around pick number 15. The Colts can't risk drafting an Ohio State player due to their history of bad luck with them. Would Arizona be willing to trade out in order to get more picks and acquire more depth.

(1:31:55 - 1:35:28) - Seinfeld talk and a quick tease of the upcoming Don Fischer interview.

(1:35:29 - 2:00:35) - Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer joins Jake and Marc to give another side of the IU vs. Purdue matchup taking place this Saturday. Jake wants to know if the Hoosiers can plug Xavier Johnson back in after injury and if he can pick up where he left off. Fischer believes that Johnson's absence has been their primary missing piece defensively. Regardless, Johnson likely will not be back for the Purdue game and is slated to possibly be available for the future Iowa matchup.

IU's track record at home is amazing with only one loss this season but they are away at Purdue where they have struggled this year.
(2:00:36 - 2:11:17) - Pop Quiz.

(2:11:18 - 2:25:04) - A little extra trivia as Jake reveals New Jersey is the only state with a non-public university that uses the state in its name. Universities now have robots delivering food on campus. Weekend plans, Jake is going to Kansas, Marc is going to Chicago.

Best of Kevin & Query 02-23-23 Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

(00:00 - 15:06) - Scott Agnes of the Fieldhouse Files calls in to the show to talk about the Pacers return to action tonight against the Boston Celtics. Agnes was in Salt Lake City to watch the All-Star game and enjoyed the experience and seeing both Haliburton and Hield in the three-point contest finals. What will the All-Star weekend look like with Indianapolis next year. Is there a chance that the All-Star game will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium. Ratings were low for this year's All-Star game. Agnes says that until elite stars take the game seriously the event will always be a casual watching experience. Should the All-Star game be about determining the home court advantage in the NBA Finals? Agnes thinks the Pacers are going to reset and try to get something out of each game for the rest of the season.

(15:07 - 33:47) - Zak Keefer of The Athletic and WISH TV calls the show to talk Colts and their current coaching conundrum. Keefer anticipates that Bubba Ventrone will be leaving for Cleveland and Gus Bradley will be the only coordinator to return on the 2023 season. What coaches are currently out there that the Colts can snatch up before the season starts. Bubba finds Cleveland appealing because it was a place where he excelled during his playing career. Ballard's challenge as GM is going to be on if they can take the right QB at the four spot or move up to the first pick and lose future picks. Will the Colts have to settle for signing a bridge quarterback with an offensive line that did not protect their quarterback well last season.

(33:48 - 49:38) - Mike DiRocco ESPN's Jacksonville Jaguars reporter closes out the show talking about Jim Bob Cooter, the Colts new offensive coordinator who is coming over from Jacksonville. DiRocco gives a brief summary of Cooter's gameplan as an offensive coordinator and what he will bring from the Jaguars that will be effective for the Colts. Cooter will have a lot to work with in Jonathan Taylor, a more skilled running back than he had to work with in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence establishing himself last season as well as Doug Peterson's coaching helped establish the Jaguars as the team to beat in the AFC South. The Colts are perceived in Jacksonville as a talented team that can't seem to get the quarterback situation down according to DiRocco. This offseason is their chance to really turn that situation around and change the perception.
