Indiana is a national champion. Say it again. Indiana. Is. A. National. Champion.On this celebratory edition of CrimsonCast, Scott is joined by Jerod Morris of The Assembly Call for a full-on IU football retrospective — from Bill Mallory roots and Memorial Stadium childhood memories to the Peach Bowl, the Rose Bowl, and that unforgettable national championship night in Miami.This isn't just a recap. It's therapy. It's joy. It's disbelief. It's perspective. It's what happens when a program that spent decades building brick by brick finally stands at the top of the sport.Jared shares what it was like growing up the son of a Mallory assistant, how Indiana football shaped his identity long before basketball ever did, and what this title means to fans who lived through 0-11 seasons, coaching changes, near-misses, and rivalry heartbreak. They dig into the signature moments — the Ohio State statement, the CFP run, the championship game atmosphere — and why this wasn't a fluke, but the culmination of vision, culture, and belief.There's laughter, there's nostalgia, there's a little Purdue ribbing, and yes — there's a reminder that no one can ever take this away.You're a champion. We're all champions.(Note: These may not be clickable depending on your podcast app.)03:30 – 14:00 – Jared's IU football origin story: Bill Mallory, childhood memories, Memorial Stadium, and growing up in the program14:00 – 22:00 – The Peach Bowl feeling, when belief became real, and the shift from “great season” to “we can win it all”22:00 – 36:00 – Building a champion: culture, leadership, recruiting, development, and the vision behind the rise36:00 – 45:00 – The National Championship Game: atmosphere in Miami, signature moments, and why beating elite teams mattered45:00 – 54:00 – The Ohio State factor, rivalry validation, and what made this title feel complete54:00 – 1:03:00 – The emotional aftermath: pride, identity, what it means for IU fans everywhere (even in Texas)1:03:00 – End – Legacy talk, perspective, and the simple truth: you can never take away a national championshipIf you've ever sat in Memorial Stadium in bad weather.If you've ever defended IU football to skeptical friends.If you've ever believed — even just a little — that someday it could happen…This episode is for you.

Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield open with a quick detour into Olympic hockey chaos, then dive into two big Indiana topics.First: Indiana football's new reality—Curt Cignetti's massive contract extension, what it signals about IU's willingness to spend like a true power, and why the next phase has to include real Memorial Stadium upgrades to match the program's new level. The guys also discuss the NCAA's latest bout of pettiness and why the Louis Moore injunction chatter isn't something Hoosiers should lose sleep over. Then it's basketball: Indiana's week goes sideways with losses at Illinois and a 29-point blowout at Purdue (the biggest margin in the series since 1969). They break down why IU's early offensive stagnation doomed the game, the troubling defensive trendlines, and why the path to the NCAA Tournament is suddenly far narrower than it looked a couple weeks ago.
Grace Ybarra and Galen Clavio are back with a packed Hoosiers episode that starts on the hardwood and ends… in the Max Mendoza Cinematic Universe.They open with Indiana men's basketball's rough loss at Illinois—why the game got away from IU, what the run problems and rebounding issues reveal, and why the margin for error gets tiny fast when the supporting scoring disappears. Then it's a forward look at the toughest test on the schedule: Purdue at Mackey, what Indiana must do to have a chance, and why this matchup is especially unforgiving given Purdue's offensive efficiency profile.After that, it's football: Bryant Haines winning the Broyles Award (and what it signals for Indiana's defensive brand), plus a staff update with Bryson Bonds joining as a special teams assistant and what it says about the program's culture.Finally, the show turns into a brainstorming session on how to upgrade the Memorial Stadium experience (bathrooms, concourses, audio/visual, lights, premium areas, and where the “National Champions” banner/trophies should live)… and then pivots to the must-follow phenomenon: The Max Mendoza Show—including clips, commentary, and a ridiculous over/under game about X follower counts.

Galen Clavio sits down with Griffin Gonzalez for an “exit interview” that turns into a perfect snapshot of what the last few years of Indiana football have felt like from inside Memorial Stadium.Griffin shares what it was like serving as IU football's on-field mic personality through the program's lowest moments — and then watching the place transform into a full-blown destination as the wins (and the crowds) exploded. They talk about the unseen work that goes into fan experience, the pressure of “being the ambassador of fun” even on brutal Saturdays, and the upgrades that changed the in-stadium production along the way.Plus: Griffin explains why he's leaving Indiana for a new on-air opportunity in Boston, tells the behind-the-scenes story of Hoosier the Bison's return (and the stress of introducing him), and reflects on the playoff run as a lifelong IU fan who never really let himself believe something like this could happen.

You know Andy Bottoms from Assembly Call, but he's also a lifelong IU Football fan. For Andy, football—and Memorial Stadium in particular—represents a deep, personal connection shared with his father.Wanted to get him on to talk about his history with IU Football, and what this season and journey to a National Championship has meant to him.
Indiana football's historic season officially gets its punctuation mark.On this episode of CrimsonCast, Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield reflect on Indiana's championship celebration at Memorial Stadium, what the moment meant for fans and the program, and why holding the event in the stadium mattered — even in brutal weather. From there, the conversation widens into the big picture: roster decisions, NFL calculus for players, national perception shifts, and how Indiana's run may have fundamentally changed the way college football can be built.The guys dive deep into why Indiana's championship matters beyond Bloomington, how Curt Cignetti's approach challenges long-held assumptions about recruiting and roster construction, and why the Hoosiers' rise is sending shockwaves through the sport. This is both a celebration of what just happened — and a thoughtful look at what comes next for Indiana football and college football as a whole.
Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka welcome back one of the most iconic names in Nebraska football history—Dave Rimington—for his first appearance on the show since 2018. And it doesn't take long to remember why a conversation with Rimington always turns into a mix of laughs, perspective, and some real talk about the state of college athletics. The guys kick things off on a bitter-cold January night—while the national championship game is literally starting in the background—then go straight into the origin story of Husker Doc Talk and Rimington's role in helping get the podcast off the ground in the first place. From there, it's classic Rimington: quick wit, candid honesty, and a few “only Dave” stories (including a deep dive into AI prompts, Facebook ads, and whether that Tai Chi chair guy is even real). But the heart of the episode is a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion on what college football has become in the NIL + transfer portal era. Rimington and Zatechka unpack what “commitment” even means anymore—for players and coaches—why the portal timing feels broken, and how the sport is drifting toward a professional model without the guardrails the NFL actually has. The conversation also hits on local recruiting, development vs. “buying” older talent, and why the current system feels unsustainable for programs trying to build the old-fashioned way. There's also plenty of Nebraska and Omaha pride: Rimington is back in town for the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre, honoring this year's winner, Logan Jones (Iowa), and the episode highlights how the event has grown into a first-class weekend while raising millions for cystic fibrosis research over the years. Rimington shares what it's like to still have his name attached to a major national award—and why maintaining the quality of the event still matters to him. Add in some NFL war stories, a little Memorial Stadium beer talk, a wrestling sidebar (because of course), and a heartfelt remembrance of Jim Hartung, and you've got an episode that feels like catching up with an old friend—who just happens to be a legend.

Ian can't get enough of the Demond Williams story, and it's not because of his Cougar roots - it's because of what a fascinating story it is. Can it be the tipping point in college sports to make changes for the better? While it's splashy here in town, this isn't the first time it's happened. Ian hopes this is the start of a better system, but has very little faith it'll happen. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum tells Ian what we saw last weekend from the Seahawks was one of the best defensive performances he's seen from any Seattle team. It's right up there with anything we saw from the Legion of Boom. What does Nick Emmanwori mean to this team? Finally, a preview of the 49ers vs. the Eagles this weekend, in which Corbin sees Philly winning easily. The Daily Power Play!

Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth welcome IU historian and author Bill Murphy for a deep dive into the legendary 1967 IU football season - the "Cardiac Kids" who gave fans heart attacks every Saturday on their way to the Rose Bowl.Bill's Personal IU JourneyBill Murphy shares unforgettable stories from his youth as an IU superfan in the 1960s, including some decisions that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time. There's the 11-year-old refusing to wear his coat at halftime (mom got blamed for the loss), the 14-year-old challenging Bubba Smith to a fight outside the locker room, and the simple joy of $1 knothole tickets at a Memorial Stadium that looked completely different than it does today.Memorial Stadium and Old BloomingtonThe evolution of Memorial Stadium from its 1960 opening through the temporary bleachers era, plus what Bloomington looked like before it became a modern college town. The stadium was built to double capacity and prove IU was "a Big Ten team," while married student housing trailers sat where the south end zone parking is now. TV games were rare - maybe one per year if you were lucky - so most fans relied on radio broadcasts with Max Schumacher.John Pont's Revolutionary OffenseHow Pont's innovative system featuring dual-threat quarterbacks and remarkable player freedom created one of the most entertaining teams in IU history. Harry Gonso at 5'9" ran the option and rolled out to see over linemen, while John Isenbarger's notorious fake punts got him benched mid-game against Michigan - only to be brought back to score the winning touchdown after Gonso pleaded his case. "Punt, John, Punt!" became the rallying cry, and Terry Cole even predicted his own star performance the night before the Purdue game.The Cardiac Kids: Nine Games, Nine Near-Heart AttacksBill walks through a season where every game came down to the wire, featuring comebacks, fake punts gone wrong (and right), and a fumble on the 4-yard line that saved the season.Down 10-0 to Kentucky, scored twice in the 4th quarter (one called back, scored again anyway)Michigan: Blew 20-0 lead, Isenbarger benched for fake punt, brought back to score winning TDPurdue: Boilermakers on IU 4-yard line, 19-14, roses on the line - then the fumbleOnly blowout all season? Arizona at 42-7The 63-yard punt that sealed the Bucket Game and sent IU to PasadenaThe Forgotten 1945 Championship TeamA brief detour into the team that might deserve a share of a national title, featuring future MLB and NFL Hall of Famers returning straight from World War II. Bo McMillan had players hitchhiking from Camp Atterbury with discharge papers to make the season, and famously soaked footballs in hotel bathtubs the night before rain games. With Ted Kluszewski, Pete Pihos, and George Taliaferro on one roster, Galen Klaviyo thinks they deserve co-national champion recognition.Part 2 will cover the Rose Bowl game itself and the Branch McCracken basketball transition.On the mics: Bob Moats, Mike Wiemuth, and Bill MurphyThis episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Galen Clavio opens the show with a handful of Indiana football news items as the Hoosiers await their Rose Bowl / CFP quarterfinal opponent — including the wild scene at Memorial Stadium's rally towel distribution, reflections on Fernando Mendoza's Heisman win, and why keeping coordinator continuity (including Mike Shanahan's extension and Bryant Haines on defense) matters for sustaining IU as a national power. Then Galen is joined by former On3 reporter Andy Wittry for a wide-ranging conversation about the college football landscape: Utah's groundbreaking private-capital partnership and what it could mean for athletic departments nationally, the Big 12's reported pursuit of private capital, the growing financial squeeze (including high-profile student-fee debates), and how the CFP is evolving amid ongoing political pressure from major brands like Notre Dame.

Twenty-six years ago, this week over 40,000 people came to Seattle to protest at the World Trade Organization's ministerial conference. Labor organizers, farmers, and environmental groups planned and executed peaceful action against what many saw as anti-democratic elements of the WTO, and the profound risks from the unfettered expansion of global trade. At events from Memorial Stadium to the waterfront and marches in downtown Seattle, advocates for the global south joined arms with American steelworkers, decrying the outsourcing of jobs. Ultimately, the “Battle of Seattle” pushed trade policy to the front page. But for many, the enduring memories from that week in Seattle are the clouds of tear gas deployed by police and broken windows at downtown businesses. A new documentary called WTO/99 tries to capture the events on the ground as they happened. It’s composed entirely of archival footage. And it highlights the way narratives around power and protest are shaped by media images.

The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg and Minnie reacting to the major news that quarterback recruit Dayton Raiola has decommitted from Nebraska. Minnie explains that while disappointing, the move may be in Dayton's best interest given Nebraska's depth chart and limited early playing time. The hosts also discuss speculation about Dylan Raiola's future, including social-media activity linking him to Oregon, and emphasize that any decision to leave would be his choice, not fan-driven. Conversation shifts to Nebraska's offensive struggles, particularly the offensive line, recruiting challenges, and Donovan Raiola's development timeline. The hosts highlight NIL changes, Pipeline Jerky's pause, and Troy Dannen's comments on improving Memorial Stadium revenue and NIL alignment. Attention turns to upcoming on-field matters: Nebraska's matchup with Penn State, Emmett Johnson's rising stardom, and whether he should turn pro after the season. They preview Penn State's run-heavy scheme, Nebraska's defensive adjustments, and excitement around quarterback TJ Lateef, whose mobility adds a new dynamic to the offense. The episode wraps with humor, fan banter, score predictions, and another performance of Five Heart Theater, before closing with optimism about Saturday night's game in Happy Valley and the classic sign-off: Go Big Red.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another edition of the Helium Boys Podcast to discuss USC's big 21-17 road win over Nebraska and the upcoming Northwestern game. Chris spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' discussing his interactions with USC fans in person after a long week with his lay off news. Shotgun takes the time to note the hospitality at Memorial Stadium with Husker fans, all the good and one sour interaction. The Helium Boys then dive into Stock Up, Stock Down from the road win, which includes Jayden Maiava's legs, Desman Stephens, Marcelles Williams, winning ugly and much more. The second half of the show revolves around the upcoming Friday matchup with Northwestern (5-3, 3-2), which is coming off a bye week. The Trojans will take their Friday night conference date against visiting Northwestern, their first meeting since the Rose Bowl in 1995. This is the first time these two teams have met in the Coliseum since 1969. USC is the second ranked opponent Northwestern has faced this season (then No. 4 Oregon) and first on the road. The Helium Boys takes some quick questions before telling each other some movie secrets.

On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, the boys look back on the hard-fought win over Northwestern, which featured a spectacular kickoff return for a TD by Kenneth Williams that ended up being the difference in the game. Emmett Johnson was the workhorse on offense, and per usual, the referees missed calls, and made weird calls, which enabled the Wildcats to erase a two-score deficit in the 3rd quarter. After a fantastic drive engineered by Dylan Raiola, the Big Red scored the go ahead touchdown with 2:44 to play. Northwestern had a chance to convert on 4th down deep in Husker territory, and for one, the good guys didn't draw the short straw on the final defensive play, and went on to become bowl eligible in October for the first time since 2016. Join Coach, Justin, Scott and Ken as they recap the game, and then turn their attention to the big time night contest coming up next week in Memorial Stadium against the 23rd-ranked USC Trojans. #Nebraska #Huskers #Football #Northwestern #USC Want to grab some GenRed Merch?

UNL announced yesterday that Cross Canadian Ragweed and Turnpike Troubadours will play on Saturday, August 22nd, 2026 at Memorial Stadium, a week before the football season begins Apparently this exact same concert sold out 4 straight days in Stillwater and also did well at Colorado State and Baylor, so there's been some success in stadium capacities…is the Stool way off on this or is this odd to the Breakers as well?

What an absolutely strange day in Lincoln on Saturday, as Nebraska jumped out to a 14-0 lead thanks to a blocked punt for a TD, then fell behind 21-14…before going up by 17 again and ultimately winning, 38-27 The wind was a factor all day with punts struggling going into the wind and passes sailing downwind…and a kickoff being muffed because of wind issues that helped Nebraska to the win. The offense struggled most of the day which is concerning but a win is a win, and now it's on to Maryland Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Luke Altmyer's career-high 390 yards helped lead the way to victory, aided by a monster performance from Hank Beatty and the surefooted David Olano.

Offense vs Central Michigan Starts at 1:00 Michigan's biggest blowout since the 2016 Hawaii game. This game was trending towards a total rutger for a while and was a nice palette cleanser. More Biff Poggi interviews, please. Listen for the Chip's chips. Do we think "Sherrone's not here so let's play with the kids"? Who's your Crippen comparison, Andrew Vastardis? David Molk? This is what Bryce Underwood looks like when he's not under siege. What did Bryce see on the interception? He had someone open. One of the special things about Bryce is he can just go and get you 20 yards on the ground. Is he putting a little extra zip on the ball? McCulley had a couple nice catches, other guys need to catch the ball. Running backs did a better job of re-gapping in this game. The offensive line had a nice day with some [redshirt] freshman mistakes. Jadyn Davis played several drives with no passes. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defense vs Central Michigan Starts at 44:32 Couldn't quite get a total rutger but felt like it would for a while. They played a 3-4 for most of this game. Jaishawn Barham found the backfield a lot. Manuel Beigel had some meaningful time in the first quarter. Central Michigan ran a lot of down G. A lot of guys were hurt in this game but backups looked good. Michigan has a little Channing Stribling now. Rolder was up and down but had some good stops. Does Biff even understand Batman's hero abilities work?? 3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:05:11 Takes hotter than the Georgia Tech radio announcer after the bees hit a fire drill field goal from 50 yards and they SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE THIS. There's a list of things you can't bring into the stadium but they're handing out versions of the thing! Someone teach the students how to do the wave and when to do it, we didn't even get a fast or slow wave. And not when the game is happening! We like Jake Butt as a commentator. What's Semaj's plan when he's fielding punts? Definitely a sad field goal. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:38:31 Too many Big Ten teams so notes are reduced. Nebraska 59, Houson Christian 7 Maryland 44, Towsend 17 Penn State 52, Villanova 6 Penn State is struggling to convert on 3rd down on Drew Allar's arm. Rutgers 60, Norfolk State 10 Iowa 47, UMass 7 Indiana 73, Indiana State 0 ISU with 77 total yards, not a total rutger. Oregon 34, Northwestern 14 Most of Northwestern's yards were in the 4th quarter while down 34-0, but Northwestern had a pulse at times. Alabama 38, Wisconsin 14 No Billy Edwards in this game. Wisconsin couldn't do anything, this was a debacle. If they don't beat Maryland, do they get a win the Big Ten? USC 33, Purdue 17 It wasn't particularly close, but Purdue had some long drives (that ended in picks). Michigan State 41, Youngstown State 24 This was a bit of a game for a little while?? Michigan State was always in control but gave up some big plays. The Spartans lost some starters to injuries. Ohio State 37, Ohio 9 The score looks close but it was not. Ryan Day's decision making kept the scoring low. Illinois 38, Western Michigan 0 Is Illinois really a top 10 team? Which Memorial Stadium is the real Memorial Stadium? California 27, Minnesota 14 A game that was fairly even statistically except for a couple turnovers. New Mexico 35, UCLA 10 UCLA is BAD bad, and they fired their coach. This was not a fluke. New Mexico got pressure on 52% of Nico's dropbacks. The Big Sky says "no thanks" to adding UCLA.
