Hoosier Town Breakdown opens up Season 9 with the National Champion's opening their 2026 season and title defense. While it is a new season, the message is that the same standard is expected and Cignetti keeps that as the theme through Fall Camp.  We discuss the upcoming game with North Texas, get into the mailbag, a Predict-A-Hotline call and much more.

The guys jump back on the pod for a first ever summertime episode to break down a Post-Season, Pre-Season look at Hoosier Football and Basketball.  The effort to reload on the gridiron and rebuild in The Hall is seriously underway in Bloomington. And we are here to talk about it.  All this and a new theme song, a new show sponsor, and the ever-present mailbag provide all the fixins' for A Summer Classic.  Thanks for joining!  Support the show

We breakdown the three game stanza for the IU hardcourt Hoosiers against Purdue, UCLA and USC. From the mailbag we explore what the "brand" of DeVries' basketball team is, and get a prediction for IU's next game against the Badgers.  So, while it is February and we now need to talk about basketball, like all Hoosier fans we remain in the toasty warmth and glow of the national championship and take a way-to-early look ahead to next season as Cig enters his 3rd season in Bloomington.

The title says it all.  We are living in a Hoosier Football Fever Dream of an undefeated season, 25-2 over the last 2 seasons, the hottest coach in the country, the leading Heisman Trophy candidate, the #1 ranking, the top seed in the CFP. It is a dream we do not want to wake up from.....so let's don't! Support the show

We had lots of wins to breakdown, as IU football in consecutive weekends dispatched MSU and UCLA with beatings in Memorial Stadium and IU's new basketball team and coach got off to a nice start in Gainbridge with an exhibition win over the Baylor Bears. As our guest predictor said "What a time to be alive (as an IU fan)."  Indeed it is.   Support the show

We talk about one thing: Indiana University Football success. Let that sink in. After being the losingest team in Division I history, IU Football, led by Coach Cig, is winning, winning big games, rising to heights never imagined and appears to have road to run ahead.  We break down the Oregon win and what it means to the program. Plus, there is a mailbag question, Predict-a-hotline, and even some romantic roller-skating. It is time for THE Hoosier Town Breakdown! Support the show

We recap an absolutely dominate win by the Hoosiers over the Illini and their Coach who never missed an opportunity to run scores up on IU when he was at Wisconsin.  The Hoosiers feed he and his 9th ranked Illini a 63-10 fast, furious and relentless beatdown. IU moves to 4-0 and we look ahead to the Iowa Game, get another mailbag question and fan favorite Predict-a-hotline.   Support the show

Just like Hoosier the Bison parachuted onto Merchant bank Field at The Rock, Memorial Stadium on Saturday, The Hoosier Town Breakdown parachutes back into your earholes for Season Ocho!  We breakdown the ODU game, we dig in the old mailbag and introduce a new segment that reaches out and touches people.  Get in here and listen to the HTB!  Support the show

After a hiatus, we are back, much like our beloved Hoosiers.  IU is playing it best basketball of the year over the last month, despite (or some might argue because) Mike Woodson's announced retirement at season's end.  IU marches into March with a chance to make the NCAA tournament, which seemed all but lost mid-conference play.  We discuss what is ahead for the tourney, a new coach, a new lineup next season (if not a totally new roster).  Mail bag and a hot dog of a new sponsor.  All for you for the very low price of free!! It's the Hoosier Town Breakdown. Support the show

After a month hiatus, we get started in 2025 with a new episode discussing IU football's off-season recruiting and transfers, as the only 2 teams to beat the Hoosiers played in the National Championship Game on Monday.  We get into the mailbag and talk about whether the hardcourt Hoosiers are what we saw against OSU in a tough win on the road or the dismantling against Illinois at home and then look forward and make predictions on the next 4 games facing the Hoosiers.  Finally, we for some reason decided to use the word meaningful in this episode more than any podcast in America.  You giving it a listen is....meaningful to us! Happy 2025!  Support the show

We breakdown the true Tale of Two Programs that is IU Basketball and IU Football right now.  Hoosier basketball feels evermore like it is at a crossroads and always trying to "get over the hump" and IU Football is reaching new heights, if not the most important game in its history when the Hoosiers head into South Bend on Friday in the College Football Playoffs.
