CrimsonCast

Scott and DoctorGC return to preview the impending IU football home game versus Western Kentucky. We talk a bit about the uncertainty of this matchup and how the numbers are both unfavorable for IU and hard to fully trust at this stage of the season. We take a boatload of questions from the listeners, including questions about IU's defensive performance, a standout player on defense, the reason wh...

The guys take a crack at breaking down the fully announced schedule for IU men's basketball. We talk about some of the early pitfalls, give some KenPom analysis of a few of the under-the-radar teams in the non-conference, and look across the Big Ten schedule to see how many wins there potentially are this season. We also take a couple of audience questions.

On an ambivalent and somewhat abbreviated episode of CrimsonCast, Scott and DoctorGC talk about Indiana's underwhelming victory over Idaho and the trust issues that still permeate the relationship between the football program and its fans.

GC flies solo on this pod, as we delve into the important elements of the upcoming Idaho game, recap some of the things we learned in the Illinois victory, and think about needed areas of improvement. After that, the monologue turns to some tailgate questions, as we discuss the right type of grill for first-time tailgaters, the importance of not adding cream cheese to certain dishes, and the key f...

Scott and Galen reconvene for a recap podcast following Indiana's 23-20 victory over Illinois. We talk about the impressive nature of the Hoosiers' last-minute drive, the encouraging signs from new starting QB Connor Bazelak, and the importance of Indiana picking up a win in this particular manner to start the season. We also dive into some real concerns about the offensive line and what IU may ne...

Scott and DoctorGC reunite on the eve of the 2022 IU football season to discuss the offseason, evaluate the storylines, and anticipate what lies ahead for the program as it tries to recover from last year's on-field disaster.

We chat about the overall sentiment of the fanbase heading into IU's week 1 game with Illinois, and what Indiana could do to get people more excited about the game.

Scott joins Galen for a rare face-to-face podcast in Bloomington. We dive headlong into the new Big Ten media rights deal, how it will operate in practice with the conference spread across three networks, what the implications are of leaving ESPN behind, and why neither Apple nor Amazon was involved. We also talk extensively about football, now that we sit two weeks from the start of the season. C...

Zach Osterman stops by to talk IU football --- but rather than dive right into an evaluation of the team, we spend most of the podcast discussing the psyche of IU football fans right now. We look at what went wrong last year, what went right the previous four years, how fans should consider thinking and feeling about Tom Allen, and how the program's cyclical nature might be Allen's biggest enemy a...

We continue CrimsonCast's football coverage by welcoming the Hoosier Network's Max Parker and Evan Gerike to the show. They give us their impressions of fall camp thus far, and we talk about the atmosphere and environment around the team and the program going into the middle part of August. NOTE - the sound quality on this one wasn't great due to a malfunctioning internet connection. Thanks for yo...

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Thomas @tbeindit from @BTpowerhouse to chat about B1G expansion, what could be coming next, answer Twitter questions and how the B1G will deal with basketball schedules and the B1G Basketball tournament.

It's mid-July, which means IU football kicks off in less than two months. We start off our podcast coverage of the program by bringing longtime friend of the show Bill Connelly of ESPN to talk about what went wrong for IU last year, the outlook for this upcoming year, and the current state of college football.

The awesome CrimsonCast listener collective had a bunch of questions about conference realignment, so we tried to answer as many of them as we could. We tackled everything from the Pac 12 / Big 12 standoff to the ACC's peculiar situation, to what Notre Dame might do (and at what cost), to how Big Ten basketball schedules might be impacted by expansion.

We've broken down the addition of USC and UCLA from a variety of perspectives, but we haven't talked about the impact of the move on the psyche and mentality of Pac 12 or west coast fans. Fortunately, we have longtime friend of the pod Matt Zimmerman --- a native Angelino and a sports expert --- who was willing to join the show and give his perspective. We talk about USC/UCLA sports culture, recru...

DoctorGC is joined by the IndyStar's Zach Osterman to talk about the Big Ten's addition of USC and UCLA to the conference, the implications for college sports as a whole, and what might happen next --- both to Indiana athletics and the broader world of college football.

The news of the Big Ten growing by two members is always going to be a big story, but the news that the Big Ten has added USC and UCLA to the mix is of an entirely different order. Scott joins Galen on the second CrimsonCast of the day, and this time we do it live, as we discuss the reasons why this move is happening now, what it means for the Big Ten and IU, and what sorts of things might happen...

Galen is joined by longtime contributor Zach to talk about the ridiculous and tantalizing news of the day that USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac 12 and joining the Big Ten starting in 2024-25. We discuss the background of these moves, the butterfly effect that led to the current moment, and what may happen next in college sports as a result.

GC and Griffin Gonzalez are joined by Indiana men's basketball players Anthony Leal, Miller Kopp, and Jordan Geronimo at Switchyard Brewing Company in Bloomington, in partnership with the Hoosier Ticket Project. We talk with each player about their perspectives on the end of last season, what they're up to this summer, and what they're looking forward to for next year. Our thanks to Jerod Morris a...

Scott and Galen are back with a nearly two-hour episode, talking about Trayce Jackson-Davis's return to IU and what it might mean for the Hoosiers next year, where Indiana's improvements may come from in terms of long range shooting, and what the expectations for this team are now that the roster is set. At about the hour-15 mark we switch to football and field some questions about this vintage of...

On this episode of CrimsonCast, we tackle some questions and concepts about IU basketball as we head into mid-April. We discuss roster composition, how to evaluate the incoming recruits (and what to expect / not expect), and how this offseason might be remembered. We also take a detour and discuss Purdue’s unfortunate end in the NCAA tournament.
