Show notes

Before escaping Alcatraz or dedicating his career to advancing healthcare for your schnauzer, Steve Eyl left his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio and became an Indiana Hoosier.
Arriving in the wake of Coach Knight and Steve Alford's gold medal run in the '84 Olympics, expectations couldn't have been higher, nor the results more disappointing his freshman year. But after a trip around the world and a season on the brink, the two Steves and their legendary teammates brought home a Big Ten title and IU's 5th national championship.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - THE BOYS GO BACK TO BTOWN Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

Eric & Ward head back to Bloomington for good times, great food, wonderful people and three disastrous sporting events. While many argue their very presence is to blame for IU’s athletic woes over the weekend, it didn’t stop them from enjoying everything else the world’s greatest city had to offer. Except for the unrelenting hellish heat. They didn't like that part.
Tune in to hear all about it, with special guest appearances from Teri Moren, Miller Kopp, Michael Durr, Tamar Bates, Trey Galloway, Anthony Leal and Great Dane Fife! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - RICHARD MANDEVILLE Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Hailing from beautiful Pasadena in sunny southern California, Richard Mandeville grew up a USC fan and almost wound up a Wildcat playing for Lute Olson. Ultimately, however, he just couldn't say no to Coach Knight and everything Bloomington had to offer. He even grew to love the frigid winters!
Richard battled for five years alongside such Hoosier legends as Damon Bailey, Alan Henderson, Brian Evans, AJ Guyton and Michael Lewis, always ready to set a screen, grab a board, or knock down an open look.
It wasn't an easy five years for the towering big or the IU program, but Richard refused to quit and by the end this California kid became a proud Hoosier for life.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - MIKE WOODSON RETURNS Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

Coach Mike Woodson is back, not just on the pod, but way more importantly he's back in Bloomington as the head coach of our beloved Hoosiers!
And so many wonderful things have happened since his return, leading to arguably the most dramatic mood swing in the history of IU's fervent fanbase. From retaining key players and staff, to landing sought after studs in the portal and on the recruiting trail, to waxing a professional team twice in international waters, to reuniting a fragmented program after two depressing decades, there is no doubt good times are here again!
Hearing Coach Woodson speak about all this and more, it's easy to understand why joy and confidence has returned to the men's basketball program right along with him... the ultimate prodigal son.

The Hoosier Hysterics! -- Race Thompson Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode breaks ground on two exciting fronts! Early on Brandon Straub joins the show, whose generous donation to the Hoosier Hysterics! NIL Collective had landed him the dubious honor of being the first ever "Hysteric! of the Week."
And while being on the show with Eric & Ward is hardly a prize, Brandon did get to come back later in the episode and chop it up with the first ever current IU player to appear on the pod, Race Thompson! Few players have endured the hardships Race has faced since arriving in Bloomington. From redshirting his freshman year, to suffering a brutal concussion, to missing out on the NCAA tourney due to a frigging pandemic, to watching his head coach get fired, the hits have just kept coming. Fortunately, Race is tough as nails and mature beyond his years. He has not just survived, but thrived with his hardhat play and team first mindset, becoming a leader on the court and in his community.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - BAHAMAS BOUND Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

Eric, Holly, and Board Ward all happily left Los Angeles together, embarking to the Caribbean for every Hoosier's dream vacation. But for one of them... the dream became a nightmare.
Surprisingly it wasn't Holly, who thrived in the island sun, chaperoning Eric as he ran amok, starting pep rallies and stalking anyone wearing cream or crimson. The coaches, players, their families, and even fellow fans... no one was safe. Especially Board Ward, who went on to meet with a mysterious and grisly fate.
Coach Woodson and his basketball team fared much better, and we have the game footage to prove it! In what is certain to irk the Big Ten powers that be, step right up and get yourself an eyeful of our boys playing honest-to-goodness basketball.
Witness for yourself... IF you are Peegs Premium Member... why Indiana's back-to-back beat downs of Serbia's BC Mega has all of Hoosier nation abuzz!

The Hoosier Hysterics! - TOM CREAN: PART 2 Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Tom Crean returns, proving that after nine seasons at IU his tolerance for insane Hoosier fans remains incredibly high. More importantly, he provides his open and honest perspective on the post-Cody & Vic years. Fascinating details abound.
Coach Crean shares insight on how he helps his players' stock, right up until their name is called on draft night. He speaks to how Yogi became the unquestioned leader of his 2nd Big Ten Championship team, and about the meteoric rise of O.G. and Juwan. We learn about the super cool Leopard offense that took down UK in the tourney, and better understand the tragic events on Halloween night that led to Devin Davis nearly losing his life.
Most importantly, get answers you've always wanted to burning questions such as: What really happened during the Kyrie Irvie in-home visit? And what the hell was in that green liquid he drank on the sidelines?

The Hoosier Hysterics! - KENYA, YA, BENNY, WALSH & maybe DANE?? Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

We're not sure how this happened either. What was meant to be a singular conversation with everybody's favorite spice bomb, Coach Kenya Hunter, suddenly gave way to a 4x100 relay of the IU men’s basketball staff appearing on the podcast.
After a great start with Kenya, he smoothly handed off the Hysterics baton to Coach Ya, who during a lively discussion informed us Kenya had, in fact, left the office and was getting in a work out. What??
Eventually Coach Ya had to depart and we were left all alone, on a Zoom, staring at Kenya’s empty chair.
Before long the unsuspecting Director of Operations Benny Sander, and the Team & Recruiting Coordinator Brian Walsh, wandered into the office. Wise as he is, Benny insulted us and quickly left, but Walsh took pity and hung around to talk shop. Ultimately, however, he had to get on with his life, too.
Fortunately, this IS our life, so we decided to stick around, wondering what might happen next. Maybe Kenya would finally return? Perhaps Dane will make a last second and overall disappointing appearance? Possibly both of those things??
Suffice to say, this madness resulted in not only a one-of-a-kind episode, but one jam-packed with first-hand insight to the seriously good vibes coming out of the IU basketball program under Coach Mike Woodson.
