COACH TODD YEAGLEY Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

Indiana Men's Soccer is once again at the pinnacle of their sport, claiming the #1 ranking after a gritty 5-0-1 start to the season against a gauntlet of top opponents. As Big Ten play finally starts, the Hoosiers look to win not just another conference title, but clearly have the squad to add an unprecedented 9th star to their jerseys.

Head Coach Todd Yeagley joins the show to talk about the team, the season, and the long term outlook for a program that continues to thrive in the ever-changing NIL, revenue sharing, and transfer portal age.

So much about the sport and all of college athletics has changed since his legendary father Jerry Yeagley started it all over 50 years ago, but one things remains the same... Indiana soccer is the best program in the country.

PUERTO RICO HOOPS & IUFB RANKED #19 -- OVERREACTION POD!! Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

The title says it al! The Hysterics go off on how Coach DeVries and his shiny new squad did in their first public exhibition, while also revisiting the raging debate on just how important Year 1 is in a new coaching tenure.

After a historic Year 1 in his own IU coaching tenure, Curt Cignetti's peers ranked his Year 2 team as #19 in the pre-season Coaches Poll, a full 7 spots behind those loathsome Illini who are coming to Bloomington in the not-too-distant future.

JEFF GOODMAN Returns: Opinions on Coach DD, NIL's Future, Recruiting and a Bob Hammel Tribute Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

Some love him. Some hate him. Some love to hate him. Some hate to love him. He is never shy to share his opinion. And he is never boring. The co-owner and founder of The Field of 68, JEFF GOODMAN returns to the podcast. Jeff weighs in on what he perceives to be the historically weak class of 2026 and why so many top college coaches aren't on the recruiting circuit like they used to be.

We also dig in on the current state of money in college basketball and how the balance of power continues to shift.

Then, we take a deep dive on Coach Darian DeVries and what has impressed Jeff as he has gotten to know Coach DD better. We talk about why Coach DD can succeed where Woody and Archie failed before him.

And we get into what his expectations are for Indiana this season and he gives us his off-season grade for IU.

Controversial at times, but Jeff Goodman has given his 10,000 hours to the game of covering college basketball and we welcome his perspective to the show.

In addition, I take some time to pay tribute to an IU legend, Bob Hammel, who passed away this week.

Behind the Scenes of Recruiting (and more) with BRIAN SNOW! Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

For years he tormented IU fans with his sarcastic wit and blunt honesty as a national recruiting analyst for 247. But no one could question his knowledge, connections or insight. Then, he crossed the line from analyst to become the director of recruiting for Micah Shrewsberry at Penn State before following Micah to Notre Dame for the last two years. Today's guest is none other than BRIAN SNOW.

In this week's episode Brian gives us his perspective on the current state of college basketball in the world of revenue sharing and the changing world of NIL. Brian breaks down which jobs might now be the best in the country and we talk about Indiana's place in the ever-changing landscape.

Brian breaks down what it was like to recruit against Indiana and what the overall perception is of the Indiana program while also getting into specifics on why it just did not work with Archie and Woody and why it very well could with new head coach Darian DeVries.

Brian is a guy who does not beat around the bush and calls it like he sees it. Some of which is VERY positive for IU and its future while he also brings up some areas of potential concern.

It is a wide-ranging conversation that covers a lot of ground with a guy who has the unique experience of being a national analyst and also a guy who was in the trenches recruiting for a power 4 school. Sure, we love to bust his chops, but can't argue with the man's knowledge!

JEREMIAH JOHNSON Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

A guest appearance over 30 years in the making, the Hysterics are delighted to welcome the Indiana Pacers very own Jeremiah Johnson to the show.

Of course the discussion covers JJ’s long tenure with the Pacers as a producer, sideline reporter and pre & post game host, hearing his insights and experiences of the last decade, all leading up to this magical playoff run and how the franchise finally got back to the finals.

But this episode goes even further back… all the way back to 1990’s Peru, Indiana where Jeremiah’s dream of covering his local sports teams was born alongside his childhood pal and public access television partner in crime, one Mr. Ward Roberts.

That’s right, it’s a Channel 19 (aka Tiger Television) reunion for the ages you don’t want to miss!!

Later, the discussion dives into the state of college basketball, including the enormous presence of agents in today's game, and how it compares to being a fan of your favorite NBA team... in this case, the Pacers!!
