Surprise! It's like March in July! Jordan Matthews transfers to Gonzaga and all the pieces (especially a HUGE piece) are in place for a great 2016-2017. We discuss. Also, top three Olympic moments we can remember right now. 

It's that time of the season again, dear FIBbers. The gym's closed down, the Kennel stands pushed back. The scoreboard has been unplugged, the Heisterisms boxed up and put in storage. We here at Free Ira Brown have turned in our final assignment of the season...in the form, of course, of our final episode of the season (Season 2, Episode 25).      Before we shut it down for the spring/summer, we t...

  Yes, this one stings. But fear not, dear FIBbers. Despite the pain, despite the agony, despite that sting, the Free Ira Brown crew is here to close out this roller-coaster season. In our latest episode (Season 2, Ep 24), our heroes go over the Sweet 16 loss to Syracuse from front to back, tipoff to final buzzer. What went right (Wiltjer, Sabonis), what went wrong (turnovers, defensive rebounding...

In this, our newest episode (Season 2, Ep 23), our heroes sit down to discuss some of the Sweet Memories of Gonzaga’s best weekend of the season. Big East champions? That’s terrific, we’re happy for you. Next. Pac-12 Player of the Year? Isn’t that Sweet. Get out of the way. We've got it all covered, from the defensive domination to the offensive efficiency to the sheer capitulation-causing concent...

And then there were 64 (well, really, 68, but that's pretty lame and doesn't have the same ring to it so we're gonna go ahead and ignore that)! And the Free Ira Brown crew has you covered. In our latest episode (Season 2, Episode 22), our heroes cover everything you want to know about Gonzaga in Denver.  Those stories, plus we have actual basketball coverage (no, really). What are the Hall's weakn...

Chris, Adam and Marty can hardly contain themselves after Gonzaga wins its 14th of the last 18 WCC Tournament finals. We celebrate, elaborate, and discombobulate with joy at a fantastic performance from the Zags. Oh, and the fact that St. Mary's is firmly on the bubble makes this victory all the sweeter. Go Bulldogs!

Well, where do we begin this week? Gonzaga drops another big game, a disturbing trend this season against top opponents . . . and St. Mary's. An anemic offensive performance results in a profoundly disappointing loss and Adam, Chris and Marty are dejected, but thankfully not alone.  Join us as we vent our frustrations at a dismal performance against the hated Gaels. We discuss the game, at length...

You’ll forgive us if we’re a bit cranky this week. You see, in a weekend where we are supposed to celebrate the folk who have led this great nation (like Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln), the leaders of the free world (like Roosevelt & Kennedy), the pillars of our society (like Eisenhower and Thayne), we are left scratching our collective heads. Because after watching the prettiness that was...

I don’t want to alarm you, but here they come. Creeping up when no one’s looking, skulking in the shadows of the polls, it’s Free Ira Brown! In our latest offering, our heroes lustily look back on Gonzaga’s successful sojourn to Los Angeles, starting with a lambasting of LMU and finishing with a solid, no-frills win over Pepperdine.   We preview the upcoming trip to the Rose City and see how we me...

Hey, well now THAT was better! We recap the USF massacre and the SCU win. We also engage in some bubble talk, some top three and a moment with Heister.  Thanks for Listening!

Hey everybody! It’s a happy-go-lucky Free Ira Brown! In our latest episode (Season 2, Episode 15), our heroes keep an eye on the bright side of things despite a tough road loss. We’re down but not out. We’re not letting this game get us down. We took one on the chin but we’re keeping our heads up, our thoughts positive, our -- Lies. These are all lies. We also recap the horror show that is the sec...

We won’t lie, it’s not been the best of weeks here at Free Ira Brown. So in order to prevent our heroes from overdosing on their preferred coping mechanisms we brought in a special guest. Our latest offering (Season 2, Episode 14) has a member of the House McCarthey – yes, those McCartheys -- to help us dissect the BYU cluster (breathe…deep breath…breathe), share stories from the road and get a li...

Welcome to Free Ira Brown! Adam, Chris and Marty tackle the Portland game, look at St. Mary's hot start (FRAUD!) and preview this week's games against BYU and some WCC rabble.

Also, the top three most significant injuries in GU history AND a moment with Heister. freeirabrown@gmail.com;  @freeirabrown

AAAAARGH! Another non-conference home loss to a Pac-12 team. Karnowski remains hobbled with back trouble and the guards are hobbled with a complete lack of shooting touch. Is it time to panic? Can we Panic?!! Please? Adam, Chris and Mard say NAY! Don't panic, but do engage in some grave concern. We take at look at the Battle In Seattle, give out non-conference player grades and enjoy yet another m...
