We re-enter the atmosphere of IU sports podcasting with a bit of a "state-of-the-program" talk about IU football as the 2023 season approaches. There's a lot to talk about on this one, so we dive in and discuss the general trajectory of the program, what to make of the Allen coaching era and how it compares to previous eras of IU football, and why there are reasons for feelings of both optimism and pessimism in 2023.

We will be back with future podcasts that dive into the positions and players on a more granular basis, but this episode's focus is really about setting the landscape and figuring out our own expectations of things.
