The podcast is a great listen. To me, they're like the IU version of Bill Simmons before he blew up and he was known as the "Boston Sports Guy". A lot of people hated him because he wasn't a reporter, he was a fan that turned his fandom into a career, but there was a jealous "why not me" kind of attitude towards him. Very similar from some IU fans toward the Hysterics IMO. Couldn’t agree with this more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a whole lot about these guys, but do they really have the level of success that people could be jealous of? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 It is funny on this site a lot like these guys but over BTB they can't them. There was a tweet someone posted about how rude these two were towards a band member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 As of now the crowd looks a lot smaller than Hysteria. People may still be out in the concourse area. The band is here tonight which beats that DJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely I agree! I personally like those two a lot and the Hoosier Collective they started is very smart! They’re not keeping any of the money, all those donations go to the players. Not mention Pankowski started Carpool Karaoke and is definitely not hurting in the wealth department. He’s doing this for the players to give our program an advantage.. I don’t see any one else complaining about them doing anything to help our program. Edited November 6, 2021 by Jackson Kellogs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they made it happen. It’s not like they were just handed access to the program. They clearly worked to get to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any doubt. They are some of the few who have evidence and proof to connections to the program and fanbase. All someone has to do is listen to the Fife, Hunter, etc. Interviews. What is more interesting to me is that other platforms who pickup any IU sports news story has not pushed this event, when its for the kids. Those other platforms have no problem posting everything else. I get that peegs.com is behind this; however, this is a big event to the basketball programs, and those other platforms make a profit from the IU brand and the names of the players without ever having to give them a dime.

I mean, they built a podcast that secured A-list IU basketball guests, then parlayed that into a partnership with Peegs, and have now parlayed that into a formal relationship with the team, the program and Mark Cuban. All of that also produced an event that was able to deliver Bob Knight into Assembly Hall again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
