It’s A Ref Show

I am back... after a few year hiatus, I am back on the mic with a new show! Just a little introduction to the new podcast. Full episodes coming your way soon! I hope you all enjoy and follow along!

I make my triumphant return to the podcast after a long hiatus.

I get into the reason for my hiatus.  (family)

I touch on the Kobe Bryant tragedy.

Indiana's road woes continue.

Bob Knight makes a statement in returning to Indiana and Assembly Hall.  Indiana makes a statement in the loss to Purdue.

Indiana recruits shine in recent games.

Iowa comes to town on Thursday, will the Hoosiers be ready?!

Alexander Hutson joins me to talk about how he got started with basketball, (hint: it takes place at a water park back in the 90's), how his dad has molded him into the man he is today.  The beginning of our friendship.  How he is motivated by bettering the people around him.  A little NBA playoff talk, plus why we both hate CP3!  The audio is spotty in some areas, but I had a ton of fun doing this interview!

On this weeks show I talk about all things surrounding Indiana Mens Basketball, everything NBA, NHL playoffs and how my Cardinals are doing in the MLB so far this year.  

Also, I hint at some changes coming up in the next few months regarding the show.  Exciting things are coming!

Indiana is coming off a big win at Michigan State.  The real question is, can they build on that success? Or will they lull themselves back into a hole?  Is the schedule easing up at the perfect time? Listen in to find out!

On this episode I dive into a Indiana High School Basketball game I went to last Saturday, as the Western Panthers beat the Twin Lakes Indians. 

APR - What it means, stands for, and how it effects the current state of the IU basketball program.

Indiana Basketball goes into East Lansing and takes down #6 Michigan State.... What? Yeah you read that right!!  Listen in!

It was a terrible week for Indiana basketball fans. The Hoosiers continue their downward spiral as they looked awful against Michigan.  The Pacers have to learn to live without Victor Oladipo for the foreseeable future...  Why can't we have nice things?

Is it time to panic?  Listen to what I have to say and decide for yourself.  Indiana gets another opportunity tomorrow night at Northwestern.

I go on a mini rant when it comes to the State of the program, and the impact the fan base has on recruiting, and the team in general.  Maybe the fan base should relax a little bit (hint hint).  I discuss a few bench guys that should maybe see some extra playing time.  I answer some listener questions as well.

IUBB travels to College Park, MD to take on Mark Turgeon and his Maryland Terrapins.  The Terps are 13-3 overall and 4-1 in the BigTen.  The Terps are coming off a huge win at Minnesota, which was preceded by a home win over Nebraska.  Maryland has been playing well, and are lead by a three headed monster in Anthony Cowan Jr, Bruno Fernando, and Jalen Smith.  Indiana hopes to bring their A game on Friday night, after another slow start doomed them earlier in the week in Ann Arbor.  This has certainly changed to a tougher matchup for IU.  A tough January continues for the Hoosiers.  Plus we get to some listener questions!

What a weekend it was for Indiana sports.  I talk the Colts big win in Houston, IUBB's slow start woe's continue and eventually lead to their demise in Ann Arbor, and IUWBB takes down a ranked opponent in front of an impressive crowd.

Jerret Hastings joins me to discuss college bowl mania, how our picks turned out, the heart break that was Notre Dame, and how we think the title game turns out with Clemson and Alabama.  We talk favorite bowl games, plus a mascot showdown in the Sugar Bowl.  Plus we tell you who Drake's favorite college football team is. Hint, you won't be surprised.

We take a dive into The Colts season after a 1-5 start.  Give you keys to the game vs the Texans, along with our game predictions.  We also make picks in the rest of Wild Card weekend games.  And we go all in and make Super Bowl picks.  You might be a little surprised by one of the picks.

A slight look into IU's next opponent, the Fighting Illini of Illinois.  Hint they're not good.  Recapping IU's non-conference resume.  A new Gold Jersey recipient.  Then I talk about the Indianapolis Colts and what a turnaround season they had.  How they earned a playoff berth and a look ahead at the schedule for the Playoffs.
