You haven't been tested. Our minds, bodies, and spirits have been in hell since Halloween. You're walking into an asylum.

Dan Lepetard. Tell me the big game that a Mario Cristobal coach team has not shown up for since he's been in Miami.

I double dog, dare you?

I think they're actually going to be shocked at how not home gamey this is going to feel for Indiana. They thought that they were going to fly into this town because no one on my plane is a Miami fan. It's crazy. And they're going to be hit in the mouth by not just the football team, but by the crowd.

The same folks picking you have been pouring dirt on our grave for two and a half months. We're still standing.

Miami is going to average at least four yards of rush. Miami matches up really well here. I think Miami is going to go on 14 play drives. I think Miami is going to lean on these guys. They present a matchup problem that they haven't really encountered. And I think we're going to see a team wear out over the course of the game. I think sales make fights, and this is a really good matchup, and it's going to be a difficult one for Indiana, I think. I think Indiana is going to know right away they're in for a fight, and I think Miami wins. Go, Cains.

We're forged and fire and been fighting for our lives longer than you've mattered. See you in a week. Spot the goddamn ball.

All right, I stand by it. I will be beating it for number 6.

Go, Cains. How do I get put in the parade of gas bags just reading a quote from Mike Ryan. None of those were my words.

None of them. You said it. It's unfair.

Jeremy, you were secretly delighted last night, weren't you? Secretly?

Midway through the second quarter, he's like, I'm going to get going on the montage.

Greg, do you have a back in my day? It's Tuesday.

No, I just didn't have time. I've been a little busy lately.

Can you guys get me as much Rolf Banershka information as you can here?

Hold on. Let's rewind this for a second. Who are these people They're kickers.

Ralph Banershka? It's Uwe von Schamen and Rolf Banershka.

Uwe von Schamen.

Dig up a picture of Uwe von Schamen. He was quite a looker. That was a professional athlete. You have to keep in mind as you stare at his bald head.

Is it Ralf or Rolf? Rolf. Oh, hell, yeah. Rolf?

Schamen? Rolf. Sweetie pie. Let's go. Can you find out for me the why he was hosting Wheel of Fortune? Was Pat Sajak on strike? What was happening that made Rolf Banershka be the host of Wheel of for a very brief period of time? It was a very strange thing, and I'd like as much information on this as you guys can get me.

Passion project.

Is everyone just going to look at me and no one's going to look this up? Because I'm sure it's not that hard to find whatever it is that Rolf Rolf Banershki. He didn't host for very long. Incidentally here- Is that R-O-L-F-F? I think it's just one F. One F. I was remiss in not mentioning this yesterday, so forgive me for this. He had all colitis.

Good for him.

Inspirational story.

Forgive me for not mentioning this. Yesterday, Stugatz returned to live radio. Yesterday, 3: 00 to 5: 00 Eastern Fox Sports Radio on 270 affiliates. You should check out Stugatz and Company. He is building out an empire, and he's going back to his first love. I've expected him here for months. I don't know why He's not here. Hopefully, we'll get some clarity on that soon. We do not have clarity. I expected him back this month. Tony, what did you find on Rolf Bernershka?

In 1989, he hosted Wheel of Fortune for a short period while Pat Sajak left to do a version of his own late night TV show. About six months' worth of Wheel of Fortune for Rolf Bernershki.

Can you guys imagine that? I don't even know. I really don't know. Who I can put as a kicker in the modern game with a funnier name as the random host of Wheel of Fortune- Sebastian Janakowski. Then Rolf Bernershka.

If people know who's a kicker, they're like, Oh, that guy. I know who he is.

No. He's like, Who's this guy? No. If you think kickers are not famous now... I had an idea, actually. I didn't pose it yesterday, and I meant to. I really failed in this regard. Xavier Lucas was out for the first half of the game yesterday because of the targeting call in the previous game. And given the general anonymity of football players inside the uniform, I was actually thinking, what if they just put Xavier Lucas in another uniform Now you're talking. And didn't tell anybody that it was Xavier Lucas? Everybody like, holy shit, that guy's... Who is that guy? Just put him in a different uniform that no one has seen play all season and don't tell anybody.

Oregon's kicker is named Atticus Sappington.

Oh, Nice. That name I've heard.

That guy's nice.

Yeah. Sappington. What a name. Atticus. I love that guy.

Lucy, the game last night, because one of the things that was most wrong, that we got most wrong around here, is it wasn't really a home game for Miami in terms of the feeling and the energy of the crowd, right? Yeah.

I feel like I said that I thought there would be a lot of Indiana fans. To me, we were up top, so we got to see the overhead. It looked like 60, 40. I did not expect this to be... I mean, 50, 50 was probably closer to what maybe I thought it would be, but I never expected it to feel entirely Miami, because the thing with Indiana fans is one, that they have a wealthy alumni base. They have a top 10 business school. Also, they've never been here before. So why would you not splurge and get this ticket? I thought it was a great crowd. I think it was interesting of walking around the stadium before the game. You could feel the difference in the sections where Miami, there was an intensity to it of just knowing how much this game meant, whatever. And Indiana was like, We're just here, and this is awesome, and life is great. It was very different vibes.

Look at Tony back there. He will never forgive Roy Bellamy. I don't know if there's anything that we've taken from today more than Tony promising us But 60 years from now, he will still not have arrived at forgiveness for Roy Bellamy. Never.

I said never. I will never forgive him. Look at that face, Dan. As the ball's in the air, and all of a sudden, number 22 is intercepting it. And I'm just thinking, Interception is coming here, and I'm like, I'm going to never forgive him.

I don't know if you find it funny, but do you find it interesting in the way that history forgets the details that you may remember going forward the way that that game ended, and it'll stick to Carson Beck forever, that he's got six losses in college football, and four of them, he had the chance to win at the end and through an interception. But the fact that very possibly he was concussed, and he's telling you, My ears were ringing. I'm taking snaps, and it's not crowd noise, it's not anything else. The fact that history will forget that in that moment, you've got a quarterback who's quite possibly impaired, making a decision that ends up being the totally wrong decision to make you do not throw to that receiver in double coverage in that spot. Marion took the blame for that, which I don't even know what he's doing there. He said he never saw the ball and that he's supposed to go and contest the play. Quiet as it's kept, Pukina Kua got the Rams to advance because he played defense on a throw that would have been intercepted against Carolina. He said that interception was all on him.

Marion said the interception was all on him. But how do you do this? We're famously bad at concussion talk. We become doctors and we do diagnosis. But when on second and 15, you're getting the penalty that is showing you on video, Oh, he's hit the back of his head there on the turf, and now he tells you his ears are ringing, that's an impaired quarterback. And I wonder whether those details matter at all. They don't, right? History forgets all of them.

Yeah, I think it matters in the immediacy if Carson Beck admits that he may have been woozy.

But he did. He was woozy. He doesn't have to admit it. The way he got up made it obvious.

He was wobbly, and everybody was like, Let's still roll with concussed cars and back and forth.

Spoiler alert. If the Patriots go on to win the Super Bowl, it will be a footnote that they beat the backup of the Broncos to get to that Super Bowl.

Well, let's talk about this for a second. It's not just merely that they've had the easiest schedule, which the Patriots did this year. Go look at just the history of good fortune here that they've had the entirety of the season, which is nuts, but all of that stuff gets forgotten. Nobody cares at the end if it's an imperfect measurement system. It doesn't matter.

I don't discount what Diana Rossini said on this show earlier today. I think that the Broncos now have more incentive than they did, if that's possible. I think the defense is good enough. I think New England is overrated enough based on their schedule. It wouldn't shock me in the least for Denver at home plus five and a half to win that game. I'd be pretty surprised.

I mean, it would be shocking.

I don't think it would be.

It will definitely come up as a factor that I think is one of the most overrated things mentioned in sports, the advantage that Denver teams have at home. Oh, it's the thin air up there. Then why don't they all go undefeated? Why don't they all have remarkable home records? They don't. Spoiler alert once again.

I don't think that's how spoiler alerts work. I don't think that- You can't spoiler.

I was spoiling you looking up their records to disprove my point. I am right. None of them went undefeated at home in any given state.

Aren't they like eight and one at home? I could be wrong. That's off the top of my head.

I'm talking about the nuggets in the abs. You get my larger point. In the what? Can I jump in real fast? If you think you've got the boldest take of the week, we want to bring that segment back. Prove it. Call 305-486-GOTS.

Also, per Jeff Passon, the Miami Marlins are acquiring right-hander Bradley Blaylock from the Colorado Rockies for a minor league pitcher.

Blaylock was DFA by the Rockies last week. This will give Miami additional pitching depth after trading away Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers.

I'm still confused by what happened on that phone call between Barkley and his bookie.

I know.
