    BUCKEYES BUMMER with BRIAN EVANS

    Ah yes it's that old familiar feeling. The chips are down, our backs are against the wall, and with the whole season seemingly on the line, the Hoosiers go out and totally sh*! the bed. We are, of course, talking about IU men's basketball, with an all-time great player who played on some all-time great teams, Brian "Dutch" Evans. This year's team is not one of those teams. And while this episode could have been recorded after any one of many, many, many such disappointing outings by the Hoosiers over the last 30 years, this one happened yesterday against the Buckeyes in what now seems to be an annual "Battle of The Bubble Teams." But hey... we're still the undefeated Big Ten and National Champions in football!!

All that and so much more from two of the greatest Hoosiers to ever don the candy stripes!

    FERNANDO MENDOZA FLASHBACK!

    BONUS FLASHBACK EPISODE Last year a largely unknown QB from Cal-Berkeley showed up in Bloomington to lead Indiana's offense in Year 2 of the Cignetti Era. One year later, that same QB is a household name across America... Fernando Mendoza. Shortly after arriving at IU, Fernando was kind enough to join the Hysterics for an in-depth conversation, touching on everything from his family and childhood, to his love of Star Wars, to why he chose to join his brother Alberto in playing for Coach Cig. It was impossible to predict at the time of this interview that Fernando would go on to win the Heisman Trophy as he and his teammates went undefeated, winning both the Big Ten and National Championships, and forever securing their place not just in the hearts of Hoosier nation, but amongst the greatest stories in the history of sports. After this conversation, however, it was very easy to understand that Fernando is an absolutely special human being... warm, funny, intelligent and inspiring... and someone we'd all be very proud to have represent Indiana University.
