Then it's the head coach of the last remaining Snohomish County football team left on the bracket: Joe Cronin of the Archbishop Murphy Wildcats.

On this episode of the Tuesday Night Bison Chat, GC and Joe Cronin are joined by NBC Sports and Indiana Rivals reporter Zach Browning. We discuss Indiana football's big win over the Maryland Terrapins, the sudden but not entirely unexpected departure of Donovan McCulley, and the matchup this weekend in Evanston as the Hoosiers get ready to take on the Northwestern Wildcats. The Hoosiers currently lead the Big Ten Conference, and look to attain bowl eligibility at a highly unusual early point in the season (for Indiana, at least!). 

On this episode of the Bison Chat, we discuss IU's trip out west, their 42-13 win over UCLA, and the overall atmosphere surrounding the game. Join DoctorGC, Joe Cronin, and the IDS's Daniel Flick as we talk through the best aspects of IU's offensive and defensive performances, and how the Rose Bowl stacks up as a football viewing venue.

There were some big events that happened this weekend with Tough Mudder Infinity in Pittsburg, the final Conquer the Gauntlet under the Mainprize ownership, the first of the Savage Point Series races in Maryland, and the Spartan European Championships, but we covered the final BoldrDash OCR in Exeter, RI! BoldrDash as a race series had a huge role to play in our overall OCR history!  It was Mike's 9th ever OCR, and Katelyn's 7th ever OCR back on May 3rd 2014 (video here).  We have also volunteered more at this race than any other, whether it was Mike waking up really early to volunteer all day at an obstacle, or helping people through the course with the Find Your Bold/all abilities team! While it didn't have the huge reputation around the country or even world like FIT Challenge had with the annual community awards, it was still an integral aspect of local OCR in New England!  Lynn Hall started these events back in 2011, has put on events at incredible venues such as beaches, ski hills, and former amusement park land, before settling at a permanent course at Canonicus the past few years.  We wish Lynn the best in what she continues to do with Find Your Bold!

On the first episode of Tuesday Night Bison Chat, DoctorGC and IUSTV's Joe Cronin introduce the concept of the show - a weekly Tuesday night football talk show where we recap how IU did in their most recent game, talk abut the comments from head coach Curt Cignetti, evaluate where the Hoosiers did well, and discuss what they need to do better.For this episode, we evaluate Indiana's 31-7 triumph over Florida International, and focus on the solid play of the defense throughout. We also discuss some of the issues related to the offense, the impact of new additions to the roster, and getting a chance to see Cignetti on the sidelines for the first time. We also discuss some of the game day atmosphere at Memorial Stadium and dive into the question of attendance and fan retention at games.Tuesday Night Bison Chat was produced by Emily Fox, and is available exclusively on the Back Home Network and IU Sports Media.

On this edition of The Brief Case podcast, Trail Blazers beat reporter/Insider Casey Holdahl discusses...• The Trail Blazers selecting UCONN center Donovan Clingan with the seventh overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft• The Trail Blazers' long-running interest in Clingan and whether they were prepared to trade up • What Clingan brings to Portland's roster• Clingan's workout with the Trail Blazers in Tualatin• Talent being more important than position in this stage of Portland's rebuild• Trading the 14th, 34th and 40th picks for... something• A lack of roster spots• The next few weeks which will include a press conference, summer league training camp and then at least five games in Las Vegas• Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin's comments after the first round

The Blazers have been lacking a clear direction for the entirety of Joe Cronin's tenure. The Blazers have felt largely adrift. But the general manager's efforts this week have helped illuminate a path forward for Portland by two strong pieces to a growing core. Donovan Clingan and Deni Avdija are in — is Anfernee Simons about to be out? Bill Oram and Brenna Greene discuss that and more on this episode of The Oregonian sports podcast. Topics discussed: • Why the draft felt like such a big break for the Blazers • What Clingan's arrival means for incumbent center Deandre Ayton • Interpreting what Cronin said about Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson — and what he didn't say about Simons.
