From The Stands - Purdue 2022
I'm only posting this because I've posted a From The Stands after every game since 2010. So I feel obligated. But this is just 26 minutes of a devastated guy processing emotions and making everything all about how bad he feels. I already hate every second of it. But I promised to make these as raw as possible, and this is me being raw immediately after the game. This one HURTS.

S6 Ep14: 7-1 Illini Football w/ Nathan Grimm
Nathan (who writes the Postscript article every Monday on the site) and I discuss the 7-1 Illini. I want to type that again. Nathan and I discuss The University Of Illinois Fighting Illini, a football team with a 7-1 record on the season. 7-1.

From The Highway With My Youngest Son
Now, when I say "youngest son", he's 27. So don't get to thinking this is me recording a podcast episode with a nine year-old. But we're driving from Idaho to Lincoln, Nebraska today. So we decided to hit record.

From The Stands - Minnesota 2022
Me losing my mind in the northwest stair tower immediately after the game.

S6 Ep13: Martin O'Donnell on YOUR #24 Fighting Illini
Martin and I have had so many conversations after games as I would drive back to St. Louis after yet another loss. So this one flips the script. He's driving this time, and we're talking about the #24 Illini.

From The Stands - Iowa 2022
OK so this is maybe the zaniest one yet. And I don't have much of a voice. So just... please forgive me for being me. But we're 5-1 and I'm losing my mind.

S6 Ep12: Suddenly Dominant Illini Football w/ @BobZuppke
This is basically an hour and 12 minutes of Robert & Bob trying to sort through what it's like to cheer for a team that has a chance to win the Big Ten West.

From The Stands - Wisconsin 2022
This is probably different from any From The Stands you've listened to. Because my feeling after this win is different than any game I've watched.

S6 Ep11: Seventeen Questions with Josh and Jonny
Josh & Jonny from The BoardRoom ask me 17 Illini football questions. Apologies for getting so excited near the end that I slam the table and accidentally unplug Josh's mic for the final 10 minutes. But you can kind of still hear him in the background? Kind of? Maybe?

From The Stands - Virginia 2022
I got a little excited here. And I rambled a little too much. But I don't care. I'm as excited as I've been in a long time.

From The Stands - Indiana 2022
There's not much to this one. 7 minutes and 41 seconds of me trying to come up with words and failing. All I know: this is painful.

From The Stands - Wyoming
The first From The Stands that's actually from the stands (after watching an entire home game from the stands) since 2012.

S6 Ep10: Choosing Our Guys - 2022
Craig and I have done this since 2014. Before the football season starts, we choose our guys. Who are the stars? Who are the breakout players? Walkons to watch. Freshmen to keep an eye on. This episode: our guys for 2022.

S6 Ep8: Illini Basketball 2018~2022 with Brandon Indianapolis
We have reached the end. For this episode, my friend Brandon joins me to discuss the Underwood era. Yes, we were there in Indy for the Loyola loss and we were there in Pittsburgh for the Houston loss, but there's a lot more to this era than just those two losses. No, really, there is.

S6 Ep7: Illini Basketball 2013~2017 with Jonny from The BoardRoom
This entire series was his idea. And these were his years in school. So Jonny from The BoardRoom (our basketball podcast) joins me to discuss the next five years in our journey: the five John Groce years. Year one? Pretty great. Years 2-3-4-5? Not so much.

S6 Ep6: Illini Basketball 2008~2012 with @BobZuppke
Bob Zuppke (not his real name) joins me to discuss the end of the Bruce Weber era. It was working until it wasn't. We had fixed recruiting until we didn't. And the end was very, very bad.
Jul 12, 2022•2 hr 19 min•Season 6Ep. 6
S6 Ep5: Illini Basketball 2003~2007 with @WhityRemarks
Length warning of all length warnings: this episode is three hours and nine minutes long. It's three episodes, really. The build-up to 2005, 2005, and then the tumble from 2005. But mostly 2005.

S6 Ep4: Illini Basketball 1998~2002 with Erik (The Stats)
My friend Erik (who maintains The Stats) and I recap the years 1998 through 2002. Three Big Ten titles in five years. Not too shabby.

S5 Ep22: Marc Davidson
I talk to Marc Davidson about his two seasons at Illinois, his professional career playing in France, his years as a high school coach, and his current cancer battle. His honesty, openness, and faith are quite inspiring.

S5 Ep21: Tyler & Robert - Houston Loss Therapy Session
We have to stop doing these. Last year, after the Loyola loss, Tyler and I recorded what we called a "therapy session." And now, one year later, here we are recording another one.

From The Hotel Room (at 1:18 am)
This is basically one long From The Stands from my hotel room at 1:18 am after trying to write (and failing) for nine hours. No other way to say it: Loyola + Houston has me completely devastated.

S5 Ep20: Tourney Preview w/ Will Leitch
Robert talks with Will Leitch about Illini NCAA Tournament appearances in the past, present, and future. But mostly present. And past.
