The Hoosier Hysterics Podcast

Latest Episodes:

DON FISCHER (Part 1) plus special guest JARED JEFFRIES Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

The absolutely legendary Don Fischer is this week's very special guest in honor of this, the premiere Hysterics episode on the The Varsity Podcast Network.

As the honored and cherished play-by-play man for Indiana University football & basketball over the last 49 years, Fisch and his iconic voice are forever woven into the very fabric of Hoosier sports. Whenever we remember or revisit any of the great moments of the last five decades... or really any moment at all... Fisch's voice is always there brilliantly describing the action while channeling Hoosier nation's joys & frustrations.

Having Fisch on the show is a total dream come true for Eric & Ward, so please listen in and learn from the man himself about how he got started in the radio biz, how he landed the IU gig, and of course, how things went down the first time he met Coach Knight.

And oh yeah, before Fisch shows up, Hysterics fave Jared Jeffries hops on from his local Outback Steakhouse to try to make the Hysterics feel better about the current 5 game losing skid, but in this he utterly fails.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - GEORGE LEACH Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Oooooweeee at long last our favorite BBQ big man has arrived!
George Leach is the gentle giant with a heart of gold and a major funny bone, who left his childhood home in North Carolina to play for Indiana and learn what basketball was really all about.
Despite an unexpected redshirt year and the devastating dismissal of Coach Knight, George and his teammates rallied together and took Hoosier nation on one of the most unexpected and exhilarating runs to the championship game in the history of March Madness.
After graduating IU and having a wildly successful hoops career overseas, George and his towering twin, Jeff Newton, returned to their southern roots and set up shop with Ooowee BBQ… the most delicious food that anybody has ever eaten anywhere in the history of the world.
So grab some napkins, hit play and dig in!

Show notes

Armond “Money” Hill grew up hooping on the legendary playgrounds of NYC, earning his way into the hallowed halls of Princeton where he won Ivy League MVP and an NIT Title under iconic Coach Pete Carril.
A top-ten draft pick, Coach Hill played 8 seasons in the NBA for the likes of Hubie Brown, Lenny Wilkens and Don Nelson before he himself turned to coaching. After 18 years in the prep and collegiate ranks, including 8 years as the head coach of Columbia, Hill broke into the NBA under Terry Stotts in Atlanta.
A year later Doc Rivers brought Hill on as an assistant coach in Boston where they won an NBA championship in 2008 before moving on for a seven-year run with the Clippers. Hill has coached such greats as Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kawhi Leonard, Blake Griffin and yes even Chris Paul, who gave Coach Hill his incredible nickname… MONEY.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - A VERY PANKOWSKI VACATION Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

Step aside Clark, the Griswolds ain't got nuthin' on the Pankowski fam as they invade Indiana for the holiday season.
Eric and his three kiddos start off in Indy to watch the Hoosiers beatdown the Irish, only to cap off the day watching Straight No Chaser live in concert. They then make their way to Bloomington and meet up with Eric's parents, thus exceeding the legal limit for Pankowskis in any one city or township.
Regardless the good times roll on as the IU men and women's teams go undefeated for the week, tons of great pizza and ice cream is consumed, and the kiddos get to meet the players, the coaches, and yes.... even the one and only Robert Montgomery Knight!
