This is a “Can’t Lose” game, but Kevin argues this is a game that the Colts could struggle in. The Colts need to win, but we will really need to see something great from Daniel Jones and the defensive ends.  1:16:42 - 1:24:34 More on how the rumored 24-team CFP would affect the world of college football. This would require teams to play 10 P4 opponents every season to receive consideration. Is this even necessary? The best teams find their way to the end. What happens to the bowl games?  1:24:34 - 1:47:24 Matt Taylor, Voice of the Indianapolis Colts joins to get us prepared for Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.

    Thursday 10/15: Rick Carlisle Joins, Previewing Massive College Football Weekend!

    00:00 – 14:02 The Fan Morning Show begins discussing Shane Steichen’s intriguing opening statement after yesterday’s practice. Not really addressing the Titans and what they’re skilled at is understandable, but still out of the ordinary. The Colts injury report also had some interesting wording for some of the listings.

This is different to last year when he came in from the Raiders, but this season he is coming from a role with NC State. Kevin has a weird feeling about Sunday’s game. Nothing specific, but just an odd feeling... As part of the 2006 Colts Super Bowl Anniversary, we caught up with Bob Sanders and heard what he’s been up to.  40:41 - 1:07:22 Greg Rakestraw joins in studio to help us break down the final week of Indiana high school football.

    Stephen Holder Breaks Down Colts Pursuit on Marvin Harrison Jr.

    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.  Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Wednesday 10/14: Butler HC Ronald Nored, Pacers Preseason, More Colts Memories!

    00:00 – 14:34 Tyrese Haliburton seemed to return to form last night against the Thunder in preseason action. Ivica Zubac also looked great, so we can look forward to that pairing throughout the season. Kevin has had some scary thoughts about the Colts, and James compares them to candy corn on Halloween.  14:34 - 20:28 Morning Checkdown  20:28 - 42:10 We got to see all of the starters for the Thunder last night and it was a bit jarring to see them again lined up against the Pacers. However, we did see glimpses of the potential of what this team could be. The regular season begins in a week. 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.  42:10 - 1:06:20 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. LeBron James recently spoke on Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers, and could they be a good regular season team? We’ve seen them become risers in the playoffs, but becoming better in the regular season could take them to another level. 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.
