Could IU Indianapolis become the first Division One team in 19 years to average 100 points per game? In this episode, we break down their explosive season opener against Ohio State, Ben Howlett’s fast-paced offensive system, and what it would take to reach this rare milestone.

Highlights Include:

• IU Indy’s high-octane debut and offensive strategy

• Lessons from LMU, VMI, and Troy State

• How Ben Howlett’s West Liberty system could redefine mid-major offense

In this episode, I’m getting real, and for the first time, it’s my actual voice. After a few comments about the AI-cloned version of my podcast, I wanted to sit down and talk openly about it — no filters, no tech, just me in front of a mic.

I get into why I started the podcast, why I used the AI clone of my voice, some of the criticism that have come with it, and I talk about the process of building the voice clone itself. I also share a bit about my background and what led to creating TheResourceNexus.com.

This one’s more behind-the-scenes. If that’s not your thing, totally get it , see you next time.
