A podcast that is solidly 80% about IU football! We talk about the Hoosiers and their fascinating offseason - the hiring of Charlton Warren and what that means, the return of Deland McCullough and what that says about both Tom Allen and the IU football culture, and the reveal of the "new" 2021 football schedule (which looks an awful lot like the "old" 2021 football schedule if we're being honest). There's a bit of basketball talk at the end, too.

We're back talking IU basketball, as the Hoosiers prepare to start a two-game stretch that will likely decide the fate of the 2021 season with need-to-win games at home against Minnesota and Michigan State. We discuss what's happened since we last podded, including the Iowa and Northwestern wins and the Ohio State loss. We touch on the "messages" being sent by Miller to some of his players and whether those will have their desired effect. We also touch upon some of the structural deficiencies of...

We're back by semi-popular demand, talking IU basketball, some IU football, and food. Indiana's basketball fortunes haven't gotten particularly better than we last talked, so we talk about the general malaise of the program, the most troublesome aspects of the current situation...and how despite all that, there's still a chance that this team makes the NCAA tournament. We also field questions from you folks about the coaching situation, the football program's offseason development, and a little-...

IU men's basketball is in a bad place right now, coming off an extremely disappointing double-digit loss at home to Purdue. With the team now under .500 in the conference and barely above .500 for the season, some questions have to be asked about what's happening and why. We dive into the reasons for the Purdue loss, the problems that have stubbornly refused to go away this season, and the macro-level issues that the program is facing.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Tony Adragna @CoachAdragna to chat about his new IU Film Room website - iufilmroom.com They also look at the issues this offense is having: getting in rhythm, getting good open looks for the guards and keeping aggression and confidence up. How is Lander’s lack of playing time going to affect future recruits, and they answer some Twitter questions.

Zach Osterman of the Indy Star joins the podcast to talk about Indiana football. We recap the Outback Bowl and what the the outcome meant, before pulling out the lens a bit and taking stock of the season for a whole. We also discuss the upcoming offseason for IU, the importance of the DC search, and the areas of improvement that Indiana needs to make as Tom Allen continues his project in Bloomington.

Scott and Galen chat IU hoops, and specifically the problems that Indiana seems to be facing in a problematic 2020-21 season so far. Is it a scheme issue? Is it effort? Is it some combination of the above? We discuss why the team has struggled to look compelling, and give a quick preview of tonight's home matchup vs Maryland.

We give our thoughts on a disappointing Outback Bowl performance and talk about why things went down the way they did, and what Indiana missed out on by losing the game.

Scott and GC are back, talking about both IU football and IU basketball. On the football front, we discuss the unfortunate departure of Kane Wommack, the difficulty in building a sustainable program at a place like Indiana, and the sportspolitik of the Big Ten "crossover games" and the bowl situation. On the basketball side, we look at the first six games of the year and debate what we're seeing, as well as discussing some of the finer points of IU's defense this season.

On this relatively short podcast, we delve further into the autopsy of the Big Ten's decision to remove Indiana from the Big Ten title game. We talk about how the conference created the situation and then exacerbated it, and why the realities of the situation don't make it any more palatable for IU fans. We also discuss the CFP Committee's rankings, and what might be behind them.

The Big Ten decides to arbitrarily change its rules and remove IU from the Big Ten title game. The College Football Playoff committee decides to goofily misapply criteria to Indiana to keep them on the sidelines of a New Year's Six bowl. Chronic Hoosier joins to discuss 24 hours of theft and outrage.

Indiana plays a sublime game at Camp Randall Stadium and comes away with their first victory over Wisconsin since 2002. We talk in depth about the game, the performance by the defense, the coming out party for Jack Tuttle, and the buzz and energy surrounding the game. We then talk about the future prospects of this IU team for the rest of the season --- the looming Bucket Game matchup vs Purdue, the Big Ten Championship Game (or not), and where the Hoosiers may end up bowling. 90 minutes of fun ...

On a live Friday night podcast, GC breaks down what we saw from IU basketball in MauiAsheville, and tries to make sense of what IU basketball is this year. Then we move to football and spend a good 30 minutes talking about the various elements of Saturday's Indiana - Wisconsin tilt. In a weird season, this may be a weird game --- certainly one that's hard to figure out, given that Wisconsin has barely played this year and Indiana is starting essentially a rookie QB under center. But there are so...

A big Sunday Show for you, as Scott and Galen react to Indiana's 27-11 win over Maryland. We talk about the slow start for the offense, the Penix injury, and the professional nature of the Hoosiers' victory. The defense deserves a tremendous amount of credit for their ability to take over games, and we give them their due in discussing the way the game played out. Lots of questions filtered in from social media, so we addressed many of those, including questions about a potential future with Jac...

We think the basketball season is going to happen now, so let's talk about it! We tackle the projections that show IU on the fringes of the top 25, the media projections that show Indiana squarely in the middle of the pack, and then try to evaluate what to make out of all that. There's a lot of interesting questions surrounding this program right now --- recruiting, player development, in-conference comparisons to other programs, and the arrow of time. There's a glass-half-full picture of this p...

IU came close, but Ohio State was a bit better. Still, it's a pretty positive episode of CrimsonCast as we talk about the game and the things we took away from it. Indiana made some tremendous plays on both sides of the ball, overcoming their mistakes and demonstrating a resilience that fans can be excited about. What does it mean for the rest of the season? We talk about the remaining schedule, the prizes still out there for IU to grab, and the implications for beyond 2020.
