The boys are back and fired up about the start of the 2021 Indiana Football season. We start off the podcast by discussing our greatest hopes and fears for the upcoming campaign, before giving our prediction for this weekend's Iowa game. We then roll through the entire rest of the schedule, giving some thumbnail analyses and predictions for each game on the docket.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined as always by James @CrimsonCast260 for a CrimsonCASH quick hitter on the one and only B1G game this weekend. Let's start of the season right and make some money! Also, enjoy the history of the first sub 5 minute CrimsonCast!

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Martha the Mop Lady @TheMopLady.

Martha talks about the new non-profit they are working on. Then they answer a wide range of great Twitter questions about #iubb and #iufb.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Adam Rittenberg @ESPNRittenberg to preview the upcoming #iufb season.

They discuss what some of the key games are, what IU needs to do to become part of Adam’s Top 25 for the next 3-5 years, and why we SHOULD (I repeat SHOULD) beat Michigan this year.

We've gotten a lot of questions about tailgating at IU football games this year, thanks in no small part to the excitement surrounding this year's IU football team. So Galen and Scott sat down and talked for about 90 minutes about tailgating. We cover most of the bases, including where to park on gameday, what time to get to Memorial Stadium, what equipment you need to get started tailgating the right way, what kinds of food to bring, what kind of grill to get, and a bunch of other important items.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Rob @RobDFB from Black Hearts Gold Pants to preview not only the IU v Iowa game, but what those traveling to the game should expect for tailgating, parking, The Wave, etc.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Connor from @HomefieldApparl to discuss NIL and how they navigated things with their new Tiawan Mullen T-Shirt. They also chat about the upcoming #iufb season and what expectations should/could be.

CrimsonCASH is back for another season!

To start off the season, Scott @CrimsonCast317 and James @CrimsonCast260 go through all the Season win totals for every B1G team and give you Over/Under picks.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Joshua Perry @RIP_JEP from the Big Ten Network to chat about how IU stack up in the upcoming football season.

Learn about what it was like playing against IU, what "The Ball is the Issue" means and how our turnover success from last year could carry-over into this year. What is IU doing to have success on the recruiting trail, and what IU has to do to move up in the upper tier of B1G teams, and what the key games for IU are this season.

They also talk about realignment and what the B1G can do to position its-self for success.

Finally they spend a few minutes talking about some issues happening at Michigan and if IU could take their spot in the top level of the Big Ten East.

We're joined by ESPN college football stats guru Bill Connelly to talk IU football! Bill is the originator of the SP+, an efficiency-based ratings system for college football. We discuss the 2020 Hoosiers in depth, and dive into why IU's SP+ numbers didn't match their poll rankings. We then look to the current season and evaluate how Indiana is projecting forward, why they have so many toss-up games, and what areas IU might improve upon. We also take a specific look at a couple of key early-season matchups and talk about what Hoosier fans might expect in those games.
