Prof. Sam Ehrlich joins the pod to discuss grilling, the House settlement, how it opens up as many questions as it answers, the origins of the striped pants, IU being good at a sport (swimming), and a fun game about national titles by school.

Blu and Geoff kickoff with some Indy 500 cooler planning, Indy 500 calendar discussion, and then head in to the chaotic world of commissions in college football (the one or two them), and then dive into the history of playing the national anthem at sporting events in the US (such as the Indy 500).

Blu and Geoff are back together to discuss graduation season, some ancient history of concessions, some modern history of concession, the history of specific snacks, and the recent changes in the space of concessions.

Due to life things, episodes have been thin, so its time for a very special aviation history episode about that time Purdue had an airline, and how it has to do with an airline you might fly today.

Blu took a trip to Norfolk for his alma mater's spring game, and broke down the sights, sounds, scheme, and energy with first year coach Michael Vick. And Blu's 900 photos, some of which will end up on Instagram.

Blu and Geoff discuss extreme weather tips, the difference between watches and warnings, space weather, Coastal Carolina's free concession plan, stats (or the lack thereof) on doping in college football, and speculate on the causes of such.

Blu and Geoff continue their offseason shenanigans with a discussion of journalistic corrections, a correction, the Ship of Theseus, the USS Enterprise (real), the Starship Enterprise, Kent State's Kenni Burns administrative leave, Stanford's firing of Troy Taylor, a lot about Andrew Luck, the oldest mascots, and talking about both weather and climate.

Blu and Geoff enter fine offseason form with a guest appearance from our favorite sports law professor to discuss an anti-climatic legal action from the state of West Virginia, efforts to revive the IU Bison mascot, the history of the Bison, and a very long sidetrack into Greek mythology, including asking if the Minotaur can block, Geoff forgetting Polyphemus has a name, building a defensive line out of mythological figures, and maybe the meanest thing Blu has ever said about Pete Carroll (Jason is a shitty person and we are not afraid to say it).

Blu and Geoff start with a whopping 45 minute cold open on schools having men's and women's basketball success at the same time, and then do a bit of March Madness themed discussion of an ideal tournament format (spoiler: if you are a selection committee, some things you here may be disturbing).
