(00:00 - 23:25) - The Colts game turned sour at the drop of a hat last night. Kevin and Query dig into the Colts loss to the Dallas Cowboy's last night right away. Is the magic of Jeff Saturday as head-coach starting to fade already? Kevin notes that the game was competitive in the first half, but a stale third quarter lead to a turnover filled fourth quarter. Dallas scored 33 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. Pacers are struggling on the road dropping their third game in a row in Portland. IU basketball fell hard to Rutgers as well. Jake give his predictions on the NCAA Football playoff between Michigan, TCU, Ohio State, and Georgia. (23:26 - 27:45) - Morning Checkdown (27:46 - 47:38) - Joe Reitz calls in to the program to close out the first hour.

Reitz closes off with turnovers being the main reason this Colts team is one of the NFL's basement franchises this year. (47:39 - 1:13:47) - It's time for callers to weigh in on the disappointing Colts loss. The absolute shock from some callers waking up to see that the team lost by such a wide margin. Some fans are rooting for the Colts to lose for the first time in their life so they can get a good quarterback in the draft. Is Harbaugh on a short list to become the head-coach next year? Why would Harbaugh leave Michigan? (1:13:48 - 1:26:34) - More talk about the Colts loss last night. Matt Ryan is starting to really let on that he is not feeling great at this point in the season. Team owner Jim Irsay sat in the owner's box watching the loss happen while General Manager Chris Ballard packed up to leave. If Jeff Saturday is only the coach for five more games, then what point is there in Saturday holding players accountable who may as well not be here next year because of him.(1:26:35 - 1:30:52) - Louisville is looking for a new head-coach for their football team, and Jeff Brohm is a prime candidate to take over that position. Should Purdue fans be worried that he will depart the team during the offseason.(1:30:53 - 2:02:45) - Fan Tweets of The Game. Colts had three offensive players registering on the defensive box score.

Kevin & Query close out the segment by taking more callers. (2:02:46 - 2:15:13) - Ballard counters roster building through the draft by saying you can pick up free agents during the season. Yet he hasn't signed many if any free agents this season. Other teams have shut the Colts down with their mid-season acquisitions. More callers join the show, one asking how Chris Ballard has made it this far with such little luck inthe draft. (2:15:14 - 2:18:54) - The show winds down with speculation over Jeff Brohm's potential to leave Purdue and move to Louisville to become their new head-coach.
