  • Thank you!

    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Indiana Weekend Preview with Kamady Rudd: Lee Beebe Jr. Injury, Road Game & Hoosier Watch Party
Q: What are the injury updates for Indiana's backfield heading into the Rutgers game?
Beebe Jr. is questionable but likely to play; Turbo Richard is dealing with injury concerns but expected to play; Cuono is also questionable, leaving Indiana with limited healthy backs beyond Jerrionne Campbell, which may force them to rely on freshmen or altered depth in the game.
HN Indiana vs Rutgers Preview: Josh Hoover, KJ Duff & What IU Must Fix Before Ohio State
Q: What did the hosts see as the big takeaway from the Northwestern game that Indiana needs to carry forward?
They highlighted reestablishing authority and the ability to close out a game, especially after a strong second-half performance and the need to translate that consistency to future road games.
Ben Portnoy on LSU-SEC Chaos, Michigan Clock Controversy & CFP Expansion
Q: So tell the people, what are you doing with Fox Sports, and how does this role differ from the last one?
Ben Portnoy explains that he is now the lead college sports writer for Fox, focusing on big-picture developments in college football and sports more broadly, with a shift toward mainstream coverage while maintaining his previous beat but at a national level.
IU Men's Soccer 2026 Preview with Todd Yeagley
Q: Who should people be watching out for? Who's made some leaps in this off season?
Several returning players are highlighted as anchors and breakout performers, including Josh Mayer at center back, Nolan Kinsella at right back, and captain Alex Barger; on the attacking side, Collins Durrell and Easton Bogard are noted as key contributors, with new transfer GK Stefan and attacking players like Oliver Muller-Jansen expected to make immediate impacts. The coaches emphasize depth and versatility across midfield and defense, with young players stepping up to fill gaps left by graduates or transfers.
IU Football Fall Camp Q&A: Josh Hoover, Daley/Wyatt & Purdue AD Comments
Q: What are the signs we'll see Hoover adapt early in the season to the system?
Hoover is expected to show improved timing with receivers and better decision-making in a more simplified initial game plan, with emphasis on completion percentage over yardage as the offense keeps play-calling relatively contained.
