Happy 1000th Episode, CrimsonCast listeners! We celebrate the milestone by talking about some of the early history of the podcast, reflecting on the various twists and turns that this podcasting sojourn has taken us through over the years. It's been a joy and a pleasure (most of the time) and we're happy you've been with us for so much of it.

We then turn our attention to our first bona fide preview of the 2023-24 Indiana men's basketball team. We talk about the roster, working our way through the key players, the X factors, and the question marks that surround the team. How high is the celing? How high (or low) is the floor? Will the loss of TJD and JHS be too much to overcome, or is IU in a position to remake its image quickly and effectively? We delve into some of the interesting statistical elements of the team and discuss where we think the Hoosiers can find success, and talk about how we think the season will unfold.
