Scott and Dr. Clavio,
Thank you both so much for your coverage of this historic football team these last 2 seasons! I was at IU from ‘93-97 and really didn’t have much to cheer for. I then traveled to SFla for medical school and was introduced to ACC and SEC football. We took our first jobs in Durham where my 2 daughters were born. They are now 14 and 16 and huge Duke bball fans.
I tell you this, like many other Hoosiers my age, because I was starting to loose my IU passion. I found your pod ... more
I am awed by the football success. But I need analysis on men's BB! Thanks
Enjoy the pod but lost respect for Galen for not standing up forThe I.D.S newspaper. Looks like he sold out the kids to protect his own interests.
I have followed for decades (MD, '80 IU). Galen is the smartest and most efficient analyst I have ever heard. Strong work!
I enjoyed this show. As a boomer I watch games on ESPN but I don’t watch any of the shows. I think they are boring. I wasn’t aware of the effort to recoup money with the betting angle. But I get it now.
I prefer listening to podcasts on the Apple app over watching on YouTube. So many podcasts encourage watching on YouTube. What am I missing?
Also, I really like Substack.
