S7 Ep13: Discussing the Terrence Shannon case w/ attorney Mitch Gilfillan
Jan 20, 2024
Show notes
You might have seen Mitch Gilfillan offering legal clarifications regarding the Terrence Shannon case on Twitter. With the news today that Shannon has been granted his TRO against the University, returning him to the roster and the rotation, I spoke to Mitch this evening to ask maybe a dozen legal questions. This was very helpful for me - I hope it's helpful for you as well.
S7 Ep12: Highway Q&A Leaving NYC
Dec 07, 2023
Show notes
I asked for questions on Twitter and Slack and then answered those questions live on the air. And then Carmen called me while I was recording so his phone call went in this pod as well. Also, I finished by playing some Richard Wagner through the car speakers and recording it with my laptop. As always, this is the finest podcast audio possible.
From The Seats - Madison Square Garden
Dec 06, 2023
Show notes
I had noticed him the first half. A guy wearing an Ayo jersey in the front row of the Illinois section getting his entire section to stand up and make noise. I tweeted about it, and then I tweeted about it some more, and then, after the win, I went over to talk to him. That's this conversation. After that conversation, I wander through the arena back to my seat while rambling on and on about how good we might be.
From The Stands - Northwestern 2023

I waited 45 minutes to see if I even wanted to publish it. It's 22 minutes long. I went to the spot where I recorded the audio during Covid and I just kept talking and talking. So this is a warning. I think this the most painful loss of my lifetime (not with the most on the line, just the most pain I can experience), and people immediately reacted to that statement negatively on Twitter, and so I talked about all of that. There's no game analysis here. Just feelings analysis. You have been warned. I decided to publish because of the promise I made 14 years ago. From The Stands = my raw emotions the moment a game is over. These are those emotions.
From The Stands - Iowa 2023
Nov 19, 2023
Show notes
What can I say? We were all thinking it, and then what we were thinking happened. And for me, he happened inside a giddy Iowa pressbox. I went to find an empty room to record this... and I ended up right next to an Iowa celebration in the booth next door. That kind of day.

Apologies for posting this late but my granddaughter was at the tailgate so I recorded this, ran directly to the tailgate without passing go, and didn't even think about posting this until 4 hours later. Here I am trying to process ~all of that~.
From The Stands - Minnesota 2023

85 yards. He came into the game on 4th and 11 with a minute left at his own 15 and he needed to lead his team 85 yards for the winning touchdown. That's the distance he needed to go in that photo right there. And it took him three throws. For maybe the second time in From The Stands history, I have a special guest for this one. Ladies and gentlemen, here's crazy Illini fan John Paddock joining me for the first four minutes of this 15 minute FTS.
S7 Ep11: Train Q&A w/ Carmen
Nov 04, 2023
Show notes
I convinced Carmen to join me on the train for this road trip. And since we had nothing better to do, I asked for questions on Twitter and Slack and Carmen and I spent some time in the observation car answering those questions. We're interrupted by the conductor on the PA about ten times, but in between those announcements, we got to most of the questions. Sorry about the audio quality but... we're on a train.
From The Stands - Wisconsin 2023

Show notes
Skip ahead. Seriously, just skip ahead a few times. I kind of find a point around the 10 minute mark but really it’s just 22 minutes of me lamenting that pouring your heart into a team leads to pain while pointing and laughing at your team (and mocking those who believe) is a much safer way to go. Also, I had to check the “explicit” button here because I drop my first-ever From The Stands F-bomb. It just slipped out. Sorry.
From The Back Yard - Maryland 2023

Well this stomach bug might have kept me from attending but it wasn't going to stop me from recording From The Stands. I simply turned it FTS into From The Back Yard. Special guest: Lucy.
