S4 Ep21: Discussing Indy
Robert and Carmen discuss what it's like to be in Indy during the Tournament. Maybe moving the whole thing here every year is something the NCAA should consider? Also, lots of dancing around "what if?" questions as they relate to this Illini team.

Was fortunate to have Coach Bielema on the podcast today. We discussed his first 27 days as the Illini head coach, his phone calls reaching out to former players, his perfect day, and his high school revenge on a rival tuba player. The first 12 minutes of the pod are my thoughts on this first month after attending the assistant coach Zoom pressers (including audio clips of defensive backs coach Aaron Henry).

S4 Ep11: Bret Bielema Hire - Instant Reaction
This is just raw audio from the highway, so I’ll warn you, it’s rough. There’s no intro and it cuts off at the end about 2 minutes before we finish. But Illinois has a new football coach, so I called my friends Brian and Carmen from the highway to talk about it.

From The Sun Room - Illini 83, Duke 68
Incoherent rambling warning: immediately after the 83-68 win AT Duke, I went out to the sun room (so to not wake up my wife) and recorded 12 minutes of my brain on overdrive.

S4 Ep7: Basketball Talk With Tyler

S4 Ep6: Introducing The Board Room
Robert introduces the hosts of our new IlliniBoard basketball podcast - The Board Room. The origin of this podcast traces back to the Michigan State football game in 2019 when Robert, the four hosts of The Board Room (Josh, Matty, Sam, and Jonny), and two other friends (Carmen and Bricker) all road-tripped to East Lansing for the game. The first 57 minutes of this episode is simply our trip back through that football game, from Friday night to early Sunday morning. And then, you know, since this...

From The Stands - Minnesota 2020
I went to the same corner of the pressbox to put all of my emotions in recorded audio form. I have to keep my mask on at all times, so the audio is bad, but here's 13 minutes of my shattered psyche.

S4 Ep4: Bob Zuppke
Robert interviews @BobZuppke. Not the real Bob Zuppke of course - he passed away in 1957. This is Illini Twitter legend @BobZuppke, whose real name will remain a secret. Which, honestly, is the best way to Internet.
