The Hoosier Hysterics Podcast

Latest Episodes:

COACH JERRY YEAGLEY Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

Jerry Yeagley is the greatest coach in the history of collegiate soccer.

6 NCAA Championships, 10 Big Ten Titles, 544 career wins.... all the most of anyone to ever do it.

Arriving in Bloomington in 1963, Coach Yeagley built the now storied Hoosier program from the ground up. Borrowing equipment, washing dirty uniforms, and scouting talent anywhere it could be found, he took soccer from an after-thought club sport, to at long last earning varsity status, to the premier soccer program in the nation for over four decades and counting.

TRAVEL NOT ADVISED plus RAPHAEL DAVIS Jan 16, 2024

TRAVEL NOT ADVISED: A Cold Day in Hell

Two Hysterical Hoosier fans criss-cross the country battling wind, rain, snow, ice, sub-zero temperatures and way too many calories in a harrowing odyssey to watch their two favorite college basketball teams play. Will these bumbling middle-aged men survive the elements and finally return home to the civilized climate of southern California?? Tune in to find out!

Finally, in honor of Purdue week and in a move no one ever saw coming, the Hysterics converse with a bonafide Boiler and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Raphael Davis. While these attributes make him a sworn enemy of Hoosiers everywhere, he does give objective insight on all conference teams with his stellar analysis on The Big Ten Network. For this a truce has been called so they might pick his brain on how, precisely, Indiana can beat Purdue yet again!

SARA SCALIA Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

Sara Scalia arrived in Bloomington last season and helped lead the Hoosiers to a Big Ten title and first ever #1 seed in the Big Dance. This year, however, she has unlocked a whole new level and is a huge reason IU is rolling into the new year determined to reach even greater heights.

Once you get to know this young woman from Stillwater, Minnesota you'll understand why she's so good and getting even better... 100% absolute laser-focus on ball.

Before the conversation with Sara, the Hysterics rejoice in the men's beatdown of the Buckeyes and touch on the recently hired "GM" for IUFB.

New Year's Resolutions & Losers in Lincoln Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

It's a tale of two pods as The Hysterics recorded this podcast before AND after the game in Nebraska.

In the run-up to tip-off against the Huskers, Eric and Ward once again make their New Year's Resolutions, including those for IU men's & women's basketball, football and soccer. Hope and optimism is bountiful in their Hoosier hearts... anything and everything is possible in 2024.

And then they watched the game.

Chaos and catastrophe reign as the angry and depressed duo try to make sense of what this team is and who is to blame. In other words, the default mode of being a Hoosier men's basketball fan in the 21st century.

TYLER CHERRY Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

There is no better Christmas gift for Indiana Hoosiers everywhere than the signing of an in-state quarterback, especially when it's a young man like Tyler Cherry. This 6'5" 4-star stud out of Center Grove led his school to a state title and compiled ridiculous stats along the way. And after hearing him in conversation, you'll realize he's every bit as special off the gridiron.

Thank you, Santa Cignetti... Tyler is just what we wanted!!

STATE OF THE SEASON with JEFF RABJOHNS Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Ten games into the season and there is so much to discuss about IU Men's Basketball, so who better to talk to than the one and only Rabbi of Recruiting, "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Rabjohns?

Nobody, that's who.

The much heralded publisher and intrepid reporter from 24/7's beloved Peegs, Rabby gets into what this team has been, what it can be heading into Big Ten play, and what is the overall trajectory of the program in year 3 of the Mike Woodson era.

THE LEGEND GEORGE MCGINNIS Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

In tribute to one of the greatest basketball players to ever take the court, with heavy hearts the Hysterics discuss the legend of Big George and proudly replay their incredible conversation with him from May of 2020. May this Hoosier hero forever rest in peace.

ANTHONY WALKER (also... we got a football coach!!!) Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

IU's Anthony Walker joins the show to talk about how he's adapting to life in Bloomington, and how both he and the team are finding their groove as Big Ten season begins. You're not going to find a more engaged and likable young man anywhere in the college game, and we couldn't be happier he's now a bonafide Hoosier.

And oh yeah, let's talk about our new head honcho in Memorial Stadium.... the take-no-prisoners, my way or the highway, Coach Curt "Purdue Sucks!" Cignetti.

IUFB COACHING SEARCH & COACH STEVE AIRD Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Tom Allen is out, but who will be in as the Hoosier's next gridiron guru?? The Hysterics consider just who might be the right coach to lead IUFB out of their historic lack of success, and at long last into an era of sustained prosperity.

One program that clearly has the right person in place is IU Women's Volleyball, who under the guidance of Coach Steve Aird is coming off one of the best seasons in team history. Coach Aird's energy, experience, humility, confidence and intelligence not only makes for a great conversation, but has his Hoosiers poised for even greater heights in the seasons to come.

And, of course, no Hysterics episode would be complete without some lively discussion about Coach Woodson's now 5-1 squad, fresh off their best showing yet against a pesky Harvard team.

THANKSGRIEVING with BRIAN EVANS Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the first, and hopefully last, edition of this Hoosier Hysterics holiday special, Thanksgrieving!

Shunning gratitude for what we have... a 4-1 record in hoops... and instead focusing on how ugly all five games have been, we truly embrace the spirit of the season. The Hysterics and Dutch zero in on everything we lack... shooting, leadership, a discernible style of play... you name it, we lament it. And don't worry, we find some time to bitch and moan about football, too.

So grab a turkey leg and pour a stiff drink, it's time to commiserate on Thanksgrieving!
