| 0:04.7 | So when you see Indiana on the Michigan basketball schedule coming into play, |
| 0:09.6 | Dussie, me, obviously there's that connection that Dussie went to Indiana, he's from there, |
| 0:12.7 | et cetera. |
| 0:13.0 | We have that connection. |
| 0:13.8 | But I don't think that many of us really thought a whole lot about the fact that Indiana fans, |
| 0:22.2 | whichever however many fans they bring to the basketball game tonight. I don't, I mean, they were a, they were a basketball school. |
| 0:28.4 | They were a basketball school. And, but we're going to watch them play basketball tonight. |
| 0:33.2 | And they're now about football school. It's a remarkable story. |
