Hoosier Network Podcasts

Welcome to The Hoosier Network! Josh, Eddie, Teddy and Zain introduce 'The HN' to the world and describe their motives behind creating a new site for Indiana Athletics coverage.

ESPN College Basketball analyst Jay Bilas joins the pod to talk Indiana basketball, college basketball, the NCAA, Bob Knight and a whole lot more.

IT'S OUR LAST SHOW :'(

The gang recaps their trip to Philly for the NCAA College Cup, discusses the new Big Sean and Quality Control albums that dropped, the MLB Hot Stove, Big Baller Brand going to Lithuania, and plays the game "2 Truths and a Lie".

On this episode of the Long Two, Ben Ladner (@bladner_) and Murphy Wheeler (@Murph_WheelerIU) discuss the red-hot Cavaliers, Golden State's challenges without Steph Curry, and Utah's rejuvenated offense.

Greg Schiano and “Twitter mobs.” What is it about Twitter that gives it so much power in our media environment? What the heck happened to Jason Whitlock? The Fall of Matt Lauer. How shocking is this particular story? Is the sports version of this coming anytime soon? Car subscriptions and treating what we have traditionally thought of as consumer goods as services. Brian is super intrigued by this.

WE'RE BACK!!!

This week, we discuss the crowd at Assembly Hall following the IU vs Duke men's basketball game, Grayson Allen's Tinder profile, IU men's soccer having a chance to go to the College Cup, and some bomb new albums that have been/will be dropped. All that and more on this edition of the Third Wheel.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Unfortunately for us, our third wheel member, Eddie, could not be with us today for our show. Apparently he has to go home and "visit family" (lol). Nonetheless, we discuss the MLB 2017 MVP picks, trades, teams trolling themselves on social media, and our plans for thanksgiving.

The boys are back with a new streamlined format and the same-old background noises. Topics include ESPN on Snapchat and what it means for sports media and for the social media platform; Twitter at 280 and whether or not the new character count fundamentally changes Twitter; Does College Basketball Need Saving? and what people really want from the sport.

On this episode of the Long Two, Ben Ladner (@bladner_) and Murphy Wheeler (@Murph_WheelerIU) discuss how the Rockets have won without Chris Paul, the Celtics' 13-game win streak after losing Gordon Hayward, and the Cavs' struggles.
