00:00They've never won 10 games, they've never been number five in the country, they've never

00:09been in a conversation for, you know, frankly, a BCS playoff, any kind of anything.

00:19I don't ever remember them being that highly ranked as they head to Columbus for an absolutely

00:27huge game Saturday against the Buckeyes.

00:30Yeah, I don't think I feel like maybe that 67 season they might have been ranked higher.

00:35There was a stretch there.

00:37And obviously, I'm not old enough to remember it with the AP only did a top 10, I think.

00:42And so I think they were in it, and then out of it, and then back in it.

00:46Because if I'm not mistaken, that is the only other time in Indiana's history, it's played

00:51a game and both teams were ranked in the top five.

00:54So this is the first time it's ever happened in the regular season.

00:57The 67 Rose Bowl was obviously a postseason game, but the only time it's happened in the

01:02history of the AP poll.

01:04I mean, as you say that, you know, they'd never won 10 games in a season, this is obviously

01:07their best start to the season.

01:10I mean, this is, you know, I feel like I've lost track of all of the sort of, you know,

01:14firsts that I mentioned in every story I write.

01:17It's been that that kind of year for Indiana.

01:19So does he make more money than Woodson?

01:25I guess, you know, he did already, if I'm not mistaken, and I'd have to go back and

01:30look at where the two contracts lined up after Woodson signed his extension.

01:35I'm assuming that that contract extension has gone into effect.

01:39But either way, the point is, if you think about it on a year by year basis, he actually

01:42makes more than any other Indiana University employee has ever made.

01:46And I believe any public state employee because Jeff Brown didn't make this much money at

01:51Purdue either.

01:52So I mean, obviously, Notre Dame, I think is paid coaches more and that's a private

01:56institution and we never know quite what those come out to.

01:59But I think he is the highest paid employee in the history of basically the state of Indiana.
