Hoosier Town Breakdown

After a hiatus, we are back, much like our beloved Hoosiers.  IU is playing it best basketball of the year over the last month, despite (or some might argue because) Mike Woodson's announced retirement at season's end.  IU marches into March with a chance to make the NCAA tournament, which seemed all but lost mid-conference play.  We discuss what is ahead for the tourney, a new coach, a new lineup next season (if not a totally new roster).  Mail bag and a hot dog of a new sponsor.  All for you for the very low price of free!! It's the Hoosier Town Breakdown.Support the show

After a month hiatus, we get started in 2025 with a new episode discussing IU football's off-season recruiting and transfers, as the only 2 teams to beat the Hoosiers played in the National Championship Game on Monday.  We get into the mailbag and talk about whether the hardcourt Hoosiers are what we saw against OSU in a tough win on the road or the dismantling against Illinois at home and then look forward and make predictions on the next 4 games facing the Hoosiers.  Finally, we for some reason decided to use the word meaningful in this episode more than any podcast in America.  You giving it a listen is....meaningful to us! Happy 2025! Support the show

We breakdown the true Tale of Two Programs that is IU Basketball and IU Football right now.  Hoosier basketball feels evermore like it is at a crossroads and always trying to "get over the hump" and IU Football is reaching new heights, if not the most important game in its history when the Hoosiers head into South Bend on Friday in the College Football Playoffs.Support the show
