MIKE PEGRAM Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Mike Pegram ushered Hoosier fans into the internet age by creating the first, and still the very best, online IU community. Peegs.com quickly became the place in which the faithful gathered to read top-notch reporting on Indiana sports, gaining access and insight like never before.

And if it wasn't for Mike Pegram and Peegs.com there is a very good chance you never would have heard this podcast. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up to you to decide, but regardless this man has given us all so much, including this funny and introspective "exit interview" as he retires from running our favorite website to devote himself full time to his new passion... pickleball.

JON McGLOCKLIN Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

Jon McGlocklin is so legendary he has not one, but two nicknames… Jonny Mac and Mr. Buck.

Jonny Mac grew up in Franklin, Indiana a fan of the Hurryin’ Hoosiers and spurned all others suitors to join fellow sought-after recruits, Tom and Dick Van Arsdale, to play for Branch McCracken. All three went on to put up prodigious numbers at IU, all three went on to be drafted, and all three went on to become NBA All-Stars.

Jonny Mac was not only an All-Star, but started alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson on one of the greatest basketball teams ever assembled, the 1971 NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. After retirement he joined the Bucks broadcast team as color commentator, a job he held for an astonishing 45 years.

His greatest accomplishment, however, is off the court. This real-life Hoosier hero has raised almost 80 million dollars to fight childhood cancer with his remarkable Macc Fund https://maccfund.org/donation/
