CrimsonCast

Scott and Galen record a live podcast after the news that former Indiana head coach Bob Knight has passed away. We discuss his legacy, his cultural impact, and a bunch of other aspects of his nearly 30 years at the helm of IU.

Scott is joined by Rapheal Davis of the Big Ten Network to preview the upcoming B1G Basketball season. Some of the topics they hit:

• The adjustment Trey Galloway is going to have to make this season
• How Rapheal sees Woodson making the coaching adjustment from the NBA to College
• Purdue’s recruiting advantages in Northern Indiana
• An honest discussion of NIL and how it didn’t just start the last few years
• His record recruiting players at Purdue
• How important embracing the past is for a program like IU, and how Woodson is doing that, and how it’s helping the rivalry game against Purdue
• How the 2013 IU win at Purdue really set the stage for Purdue to attack IU in the future years
• Get to many listener questions, along with a great one about the story behind a certain Tech against Rapheal during his senior season.

Our old friend Chronic Hoosier joins the podcast, as we break down what we witnessed in Indiana's exhibition victory over the University of Indianapolis. We discuss how the new players looked, what the returning players are bringing to the table, and what the most promising and most concerning aspects of the game were.

We then pull the lens out and discuss IU's prospects this year. We chat about the general atmosphere around the program, some of the differences we perceive between this era and previous eras, and how the recruiting philosophy has taken a needed change of direction. We also discuss where this team might be better than last year, why the offense might take some time to round into shape, and how we expect the defense to be an upgrade over what we saw last season.

Scott is joined by Taylor Lehman to recap the IU Football loss to Penn State. They discuss how we should feel about the result, was IU to conservative on Offensive to end the game, did they miss an opportunity, and is this something that can be built on for the remainder of the season.We also learn that we are now in Playoff Mode for the rest of the season.

Scott is back for CrimsonCASH Week 9. He has to clean-up the wreckage from his week away, as James couldn’t last one week without betting an Iowa Over/Under. They look at this week’s slate of B1G games, and now most of the Pac 12. James gives out his parlay of the week, then they talk some NBA future bets.

Indiana stands at 2-5 on the season, coming off a crushing 31-14 loss at home to Rutgers (on Homecoming, no less), and now faces a road test against a very angry Penn State team. What are the Hoosiers' prospects in this one? Well, not ideal, but we give you a preview podcast anyway.

Scott is joined by Mike DeCourcy from Fox Sports and the B1G Network. They chat about:

• Why Mike thinks the next two years are pivotal for IU Basketball
• How important the change in non-conference scheduling has been for IU
• Grading Woodson’s first two years at IU
• Why Archie Miller wasn’t successful at IU
• The Big Ten struggles in the last 3 years in the NCAA tournament and how league expansion might continue that trend
• How the Big Ten will schedule basketball with an 18 team league
• The difference between covering college football and basketball coaches
• Mike’s favorite college coach to cover over the last 20 years

Scott is joined by Alex Bozich from Inside the Hall to preview the upcoming IU Basketball Season. They chat about where IU could finish in the Big Ten, why this is such a pivotal season for Kel'el Ware, why Scott hasn't been this optimistic for the basketball program in almost 20 years, and finally they dip their toe into some IU Football talk.

Indiana dropped another important game, losing to Rutgers 31-14 on homecoming. We discuss the loss, settle into the dim grey reality, and also talk a little bit about men's basketball at the tail end of the show.
