[1085] Schedule Talk, New Commit, and Reflections on a Memorial Stadium Beatdown
IU football's dominant win over Illinois provided the perfect backdrop for discussing both the Hoosiers' incredible transformation under Curt Cignetti and the anticipation building around Darian DeVries' basketball program.
Coach Tonsoni was on the scene at Memorial Stadium to witness the atmosphere firsthand, and broke down everything from the defensive front's relentless pressure to Mike Katic's legendary shirtless beer-chugging performance during "Mr. Brightside."
Segment 1: Football Euphoria [00:00:00-25:00] - We dive into the electric atmosphere that had 56,000 fans waving towels in a sold-out Memorial Stadium, the complete dismantling of Brett Bielema's offense, and what this program transformation means for all IU athletics.
Segment 2: Basketball Anticipation & Chase Brandham [25:00-36:00] - Discussion of the 2027 guard's commitment and that heartwarming video of Coach DeVries learning the news, plus early practice observations and the growing excitement around the new-look roster.
Segment 3: Schedule Deep Dive [36:00-end] - Comprehensive breakdown of the released Big Ten schedule, including that brutal nine-game stretch from January to February and why IU's early conference slate could be crucial for building momentum.
Key discussion points:How Cignetti's "standard is the standard" philosophy has created something unprecedented in BloomingtonWhether we're more excited for football's playoff chase or basketball's fresh start under DeVriesBreaking down IU's Big Ten schedule into tiers and identifying where those crucial four road wins might come fromThe challenge of rating teams in the transfer portal era when everyone has new rostersWhy that January 17th Iowa game is already circled on our calendars
Plus, as always, debate about preseason rankings meaning anything anymore, Coach's tailgate adventures, and Ryan's impossible question that had everyone choosing sides between football and basketball season. That's all in this edition of The Assembly Call.
On the mics: Andy Bottoms, Coach Tonsoni, and Ryan Phillips
