Let's do Beer Sample Friday.

Nigel (0:02)

Right now!

Hammer (0:03)

Hammer and Nigel present...

Nigel (0:05)

Beer Sample... I got some beers!

Hammer (0:10)

Let's drink them, huh? Beers on sale, people. Come down, get you some.

Nigel (0:15)

Brought to you by Thompson Furniture and Mattress in Columbus. Free delivery within 75 miles. I'm Nigel, that's Hammer. Uh, I went shopping today. Oh, and because the Hoosiers want to buy last week, the football Hoosiers and we are patiently awaiting and praying for the safe landing of USC, who, according to sources, is still waiting to land at Indianapolis International Airport.

We're going to drink some. We're going to drink some Hoosier Game Day Lager. OK, if that's OK with you. I think we've had this before, but that's OK. I don't mind, because it's very, very good beer.

Hammer (0:56)

Yes. And it's a little topical, because this is a big one for your football Hoosiers, like Cignetti in the game. They feel disrespected with that latest poll that came out from the College Football Playoff Committee. They fell five spots and they didn't even play last week. Meanwhile, Alabama could beat the Little Sisters of the Poor and that they get jumped up two to three spots.

Nigel (1:22)

Is it one of the reasons because Ohio State keeps losing and they lost to Ohio State? Is that one of the reasons?

Hammer (1:29)

Yeah, and really, based off of their wins, Northwestern is probably the best win Indiana has because Nebraska and Michigan have also taken some other hits.

Nigel (1:40)

That was real good.

Hammer (1:41)

But if IU takes USC to the Shed tomorrow, then they could make a statement.

Nigel (1:48)

Nine and a half, minus nine and a half. The Hoosiers are favored.

Hammer (1:53)

So that started as a six point game.

Nigel (1:56)

Did it really?

Hammer (1:56)

And the line has jumped up three points because the betting community thinks that Hoover, the starting quarterback that was injured and was removed, is going to play.

Nigel (2:06)

Oh, wow.

Hammer (2:07)

The betting community feels like Hoover gives them the better chance to win as opposed to Wilson.

Nigel (2:13)

Okay.

Hammer (2:14)

Now, a lot of IU fans say, hey, Wilson came in and was throwing the ball around the yard like a boss. But betting community feels like Hoover and the weather.

So when the line opened up at six, the original forecast for Bloomington was upper fifties, not a lot of rain or anything like that. Well, now kick off at 330 tomorrow, 44 degrees in Bloomington. And by the time that sun goes down, it's going to be in the thirties.

Nigel (2:39)

Okay.

Hammer (2:40)

USC doesn't like to play in the cold.

They don't like to fly cross country and play in the cold. So you factor all these things together. And Cignetti going after the college football playoff committee with some snarky tweets this week. They think that IU is going to try to take them to the shed. So that's gone up three points in terms of sports betting.

Nigel (2:59)

Happy Beer Sample Friday, dude. Look, and by the way, can I say happy anniversary to my wife?

Eighteen years this weekend to the lovely Lindsay.

Hammer (3:09)

I lost that over under.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Nigel (3:14)

Thank you.

Hammer (3:15)

The weekend is underway in Indy. More on the airports coming up.
