The Hoosiers Hysterics! - YOGI FERRELL May 11, 2021

Show notes

To leave Indiana University as a top-10 scorer in program history makes you a star. Graduating with more assists than anyone to ever play for IU makes you a legend. But to depart Bloomington having accomplished both of those feats… while winning two Big Ten titles… that makes you one of the absolute greatest Hoosiers of all-time. Toss in two Indiana high school championships from back in the day, plus just weeks ago inking a deal to play with the Los Angeles Clippers, and it should come as no surprise that the Hysterics are very, very, very excited to be speaking with Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - COACH YASIR ROSEMOND May 03, 2021

Show notes

The final piece of the IU coaching puzzle is at last in place as Assistant Coach Yasir Rosemond has climbed on board and wasted no time getting to work. Hear all about how he is not only recruiting new players, but how he and the staff are emphasizing fun and instilling confidence in a program that have hurt for both in recent seasons. Growing up in Georgia and dreaming of playing for Coach Knight, his road to Bloomington has been long, winding and yes, even controversial. But after finally hearing him speak at length, it's hard to deny Coach Ya is exactly where he's meant to be.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - TAMAR BATES & MILLER KOPP Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

Not one, but TWO brand-new Hoosiers visit the Hysterics to discuss joining ranks with the greatest basketball program of all-time. Tamar "Scoop" Bates is even more impressive as a person than he is playing ball, and believe you us that is saying something. His all-around greatness is due in no small part to his delightful mom, Lajasmia, who was kind enough to join in on our fun.
But wait, there's more! Miller "Terminator" Kopp was dragged out of the gym by a team of wild horses to make his appearance. Miller proves yet again Coach Woodson and staff aren't just recruiting stone cold killers to his squad, but fantastic human beings to boot. If didn't think you couldn't get anymore excited about the new-look Hoosiers, think again!

The Hoosier Hysterics! - XAVIER JOHNSON Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

Xavier Johnson is a complete and total bad ass, now bringing his scintillating game and alpha dog mentality to Bloomington. Still, the highly sought-after transfer is kind and generous enough to chat with two Hysteric dorks, both who are terrible at disguising how geeked they are about his arrival, and what it means for Coach Woodson's Indiana Hoosiers. Tune in to hear from "X" about his game, his mindset, and how he plans to bring IU back to the Big Dance.

Hoosier Hysterics! - DANE FIFE IS BACK Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

The prodigal son has returned. And with him, so too does the hope of countless Hoosiers everywhere. Reclaimed from the barren wastelands of East Lansing, this beloved member of Indiana’s last Final Four team now resides in Bloomington and the rest of college basketball is officially on notice. After several minutes of learning how to use his phone, Dane dives into his earthshaking decision and explains how he, Kenya and Coach Woodson will go about restoring IU back to its former and most righteous glory.

THE HOOSIER HYSTERICS! - Dane & Khristian & Jordan, Oh My! Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

The good times roll on as Woody keeps two more key players at IU, and recruits another to come back home to coach. As if that weren't enough, in Final Four action Baylor humiliated Kelvin Sampson en route to assuring the 1976 Hoosiers remain the last unbeaten NCAA champs. For a special bonus, honorary Hysteric Brian Evans pops in to celebrate this Indiana winning streak, earning himself a makeshift Hysteric emoji.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - WELCOME HOME, COACH WOODSON! Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

His teammate, his GM, his player, and his fellow coach. Four Hoosier legends join us to celebrate Mike Woodson's triumphant return to Indiana. First, a euphoric Landon Turner proudly shares why his old teammate is the perfect man to lead IU back to glory. Next, a giddy Glen Grunwald extols the virtues of Woody not just as his teammate, but as an NBA GM who hired him to be head coach of the storied Knicks franchise. Jared Jeffries then takes a brief hiatus from his eternal spring break to reflect on his time in New York playing under Coach Woodson. Finally, his fellow assistant at the Cavaliers, Keith Smart, displays incredible class and unity by showing up to praise and support his brother, despite being passed over for the dream job that ultimately went to Woody.

The Hoosier Hysterics! - NO COACH FOR YOU! Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

In 120 years of Indiana basketball has there ever been a week this insane where absolutely nothing happened?? Sure, we all THOUGHT Brad was coming home, and what a fun ride that was until it all came crashing down. Never daunted, we quickly regrouped to lose our collective mind over Beard, Beilein, Matta, Muss,Woody, Calbert, Dane, Lewis and whoever else could maybe perhaps possibly be our next fearless leader. Fact is we still have no clue who it will actually be, so let's do the only thing we can... talk about it some more!

Hoosier Hysterics! - JAY BILAS Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

When Jay Bilas calls out the Indiana fanbase, the Hysterics answer. He's the preeminent voice in college basketball and even though we are the opposite of that, we just couldn't let his comments slide. Much to his credit, Jay immediately agreed to hop on the pod and discuss these points of contention, despite having no idea of the lunacy that awaited. Let the games begin!

The Hoosier Hysterics! - MICHAEL LEWIS SPECIAL EDITION Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

Wow. It happened. ARCHIE IS GONE. So who better to help make sense of it all than IU legend & UCLA assistant coach, Michael Lewis. His old teammate & Michigan State assistant coach, Dane Fife, was SUPPOSED to join us for some lively shit-talking prior to their showdown in the tourney, but Dane straight ghosted it us. Instead, we got extra quality time with Michael. He delves into how he is transitioning into the bubble, and how gross it will be to play in Mackey Arena. As the subject shifts to the head coaching vacancy in Bloomington, you'll hear just how much IU means to Michael, and what it should mean to any person leading our beloved Hoosiers program.
