INDIANA - Northwestern Postgame LIVE
Indiana – Northwestern Postgame LIVE IndianaVOCFB | Alec Keezer, Bradley Loomis, Jamie Jordan (Hoosier Huddle / IU Reactionaries) Presented by FanDuel
00:00–02:30 | Open: 4-0, enjoy it
Keezer intro with Loomis (“master of the eye test”) and new Sunday regular Jamie Jordan. IU 4-0 after a road-to-home scare vs Northwestern. Third time a Big Ten team has started 4-0 this century (Urban Meyer twice). Consensus: stop over-criticizing, enjoy top-10 / 4-0. Northwestern is legit; they hung around at a top-5 defending champ and showcased talent. No moral victories, but they can contend in the Big Ten.02:30–07:30 | Cignetti presser, refs, “Northwestern is good”

INDIANA - Howard Postgame LIVE
IndianaVOCFB — Indiana vs. Howard Postgame LIVE Hosts: Alec Keezer & Bradley Loomis Presented by FanDuel
Intro & overall takeaways (0:32–3:00)
Alec and Brad open on a quiet Sunday after Indiana handled Howard. Both treat it as a non-conference/preseason-style game with limited information on the 2026 Hoosiers.
Brad: “I learned absolutely nothing” about what this team will be this season. They look like a top-tier contender that happens to be playing Howard. Biggest observation is that this is a different team than last year — offense now appears to be the strength, with defense complementary (inverse of 2025). Defense is still w...
Indiana BLASTS Howard - Postgame Thoughts

Alec and Brad will go live tomorrow for the full game + weekend breakdown. Recorded while other games were still ongoing (Minnesota, Oregon-Oklahoma State, later Ohio State-Texas).
Intro & Context (0:00–0:47)
Indiana “splattered” Howard 55-0. Game was not live; this is Alec’s first-look thoughts before hearing Kurt Cignetti’s presser.

Intro & Big Picture (0:32–6:20)
Hoosiers 1-0; seven-game winning streak; haven’t lost at Memorial Stadium in 1,000+ days. Both call it the best Week 1 of the Curt Cignetti era — “not even close.” Theme they keep returning to: Indiana can win 52-16 while still looking imperfect and having clear room to grow. That’s the exciting part. Credit North Texas: good game plan vs. Brian Hanson’s defense, David Jackson and Jaheim White looked the part. Neil Brown era has juice in the American.

Hell of a week for IU: Little 500 (biggest college weekend), NFL Draft (Thursday), and spring game (Thursday night at Memorial Stadium). Hosts are in high spirits: Weather turning, summer vibes, Cubs win, and some light Bama trolling. Bama fans beef: Discussion of "dusty old trophies," national title count debates (hosts jokingly simplify to "six since '90"), and pre-1998 scheduling critiques (short seasons, fewer games).

NFL Draft Odds & Prospects (FanDuel)
Keezer and Loomis reacted to fresh first-round odds ahead of the draft (aligning with IU's spring game timing):
Omar Cooper Jr. (likely DB) — Heavy favorite at -2000 to go in Round 1. The hosts viewed this as near-lock "free money" territory (e.g., bet $2,000 to win $100), though they joked about potential last-minute slips like Laremy Tunsil. D'Angelo Ponds (corner) — +1500 (Keezer "sprinkled" on it; Loomis called the odds attractive given size/athleticism risks and team needs at corner). They noted scouts' evaluations and limited first-round CB slots as variables, but saw value. Elijah Surr...Indiana Spring Ball Roundup / Indiana Hoosiers LIVE 76

Show opens with the hook: Indiana’s offensive & defensive lines expected to remain elite / “nasty” in 2026. Major segment on the stunning Max Crosby trade saga: Raiders appeared to agree to trade Crosby (to Bears/Cowboys reports) for two first-round picks. Trade reportedly fell apart / was rescinded (first time hosts can recall in NFL history at that scale). Conflicting reports on physical: initial “failed physical” narrative → Adam Schefter update saying Crosby never even took the physical. Hosts speculate Raiders possibly panicked at public backlash over the price → backed out. Massive implications: Raiders keep Crosby’s cap hit, lose plan...NFL Combine Fallout and Spring (Ball) is in the air! / Indiana Hoosiers LIVE 71

Breaking news: Chandler Whitmer accepted the QB coach job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (reported by Pete Thamel & Tom Pelissero). Initial reactions: Not shocking; produced a Heisman winner (Fernando Mendoza) in his first full year as QB coach. Previously passing game coordinator / assistant QB coach in NFL; rose fast. “Players develop players” philosophy emphasized — coaches & programs help, but players drive development. Welcomed & deserved move; part of success cycle — winning programs lose assistants to NFL. Signetti will replace him quickly and well (third major staff replacement nailed).
