What lessons can we learn from Indiana's national championship season?

Doug Lesmerises 0:07
Welcome back to Around the Shoe on the Bill & Doug Show. Doug LaMaurice and Bill Landis joined every week by two fantastic members of the Ohio State media. We usually do it on Monday. We're doing it on Tuesday this week, Bill, because we wanted to wait and see what happened in the game on Monday night. And as we know, the Big Ten won a third straight championship. So we're here on Tuesday. Andrew Gillis of Cleveland.com. Blake Biscardi of the Silver Bulletin joining us. Andrew, you're back for your second trip Around the Shoe. Why did you decide to come back? I can't believe we got you again.
Andrew Gillis 0:37
I can't believe you guys asked me to come back.

How should Ohio State fans balance respect and regret towards Indiana?

Andrew Gillis 0:39
I figured – we talked enough Ohio Bobcats football the first time. I went, yeah, they're done. Yeah, they're not going to – you know what? We've had our Mac Phil. I've heard enough about Frank Solich and Tim Alvin. We're done. Yeah.
Bill Landis 0:53
Actually, I've got a lot of questions about what's going on at OU now. Oh, believe me. I do too.
Doug Lesmerises 0:59
Actually, that's scrapped the show, Bill. This is actually maybe more interesting. If Andrew has insight into this, what was going on in that hotel?

What is the final assessment of Ohio State's transfer portal strategy?

Doug Lesmerises 1:06
So, Andrew, thanks for joining us again on Around the Shoe. Blake Biscardi, debut here. Blake, tell the people about the Silver Bulletin. And I'm sure a lot of the folks here know this. Maybe some of them don't. Say hello to everybody.
Blake Biscardi 1:19
Well, Bill and Doug, I appreciate you guys both having me today. I'm looking forward to the show. Silver Bulletin, we started four years ago, and we have built this from zero. And it's been great getting to know the world of Ohio State media, cover the Buckeyes, and now we get to do all of Ohio State sports. So really excited to be here. You can find us on our website, tsilverbulletin.com. We've got you guys covered.
Doug Lesmerises 1:38
All right.

How do we predict the outcome of the Ohio State vs. Indiana game in October?

Doug Lesmerises 1:39
So, you know, you're going to listen to Andrew, you're going to listen to Blake, and then go consume their content elsewhere. We appreciate these guys sharing their expertise and their time. We'll start with Andrew. Five questions, five topics about Ohio State football. We're dipping in a little bit in the National College football. What's going on with the Indiana Hoosiers? We do have a game date for Ohio State Indiana in 2026. We'll get to that in a moment. We'll start with this. Andrew Gillis. Indiana national champion, 16-0, Kurt Signetti. Everybody knows the story. What's your number one lesson from Indiana's national title this year?

Which Big Ten team could emerge as a national champion next after Ohio State and Michigan?

Doug Lesmerises 2:10
Maybe it's a lesson that you learned as a consumer of college football, something that Ohio State could have learned, something other programs could have learned, something maybe that we just all should have realized inside ourselves, that Kurt Signetti made us look inward, Andrew. You know what I'm saying? He made us all better people by the Hoosiers winning this national title. What do you got?
Andrew Gillis 2:29
Kurt Cignetti might just be Ted Lasso. You watch that show, and you're like, I'm a better person because of it now. So I think we had that run with Cignetti, and I think we're all better people for it.
Doug Lesmerises 2:38
Kurt Cignetti would punch Ted Lasso.
Andrew Gillis 2:41
Oh, 100%. And Ted Lasso would smile and say, you know what? Sure. We all have our own demons. So I totally get it. The thing that I would say is that in this new kind of expanded world of college football that we now live in,

What impact does coaching have on a team's success in college football?

Andrew Gillis 2:58
I think coaching is going to matter way more. And I think coaching is, is the, the be all end all of this. I think everybody's going to point to, you know, Oh, Indiana was 39 years old and that's crazy. And that's not wrong. I think that matters, but, I think if you were to go back and watch that Indiana-Miami game, I think you would probably watch the lines of scrimmage and be maybe a little bit more surprised at like, Reuben Bain and Mesidor kind of got after Mendoza maybe more than I thought. Or, you know, Roman Hemby just could not block any one of those guys. And that to me was where... talent matters like i'll be bold i'll say it i think talent still matters like i think i think i think just i think talent's important i don't think it's just if you're 24 years old then you're great like i think i think that matters so i think when you have these players that are older they also got to be coached up though and that's the thing like
