Beschrijving

Dusty May is headed to the NBA to coach the Dallas Mavericks — so does that open the door for him to one day come home and coach Indiana basketball? Trent and Tim debate, then dig into EA Sports' early rankings (Indiana's #3 overall but somehow has no top-10 skill position players), recruiting momentum, the origins of "tarps off" student sections, and hints from Curt Cignetti's recent interviews about a possible Memorial Stadium expansion. Then it's the weekly hot seat rankings: Trent and Tim predict, in order, the first 10 power conference coaches who'll be fired this season — from Dave Aranda to Bill Belichick to Kalen DeBoer.

The Podfather Galen Clavio, Cignetti’s Aflac Commercial + IU Recruiting Heats Up

It's a Father's Day special on Kirkwood and Dunn! Trent and Tim talk Indiana's hot recruiting stretch (headlined by four-star linebacker picking IU over Georgia and Miami), debate a possible Curt Cignetti commercial, and judge Kyle Whittingham's motorcycle entrance at Michigan's Victors Day. Then the Indiana Podfather himself, Galen Clavio of Crimson Cast and Back Home Network, joins for a wide-ranging conversation: the lean Bill Lynch years, why Indiana and other basketball schools were slow to take football seriously, the business problems plaguing college athletics, Memorial Stadium's facilities gap, and Galen's tailgating tips and favorite gameday recipe. He also shares whether a book on IU football's turnaround is coming — and gives his prediction for the 2026 season. Follow Galen at Crimson Cast and Football Weather.

Tornado Warnings & Big Ten Threats | Did Curt Cignetti Change College Football Forever

We are recording early today to dodge some real-time Midwest tornado warnings! On this week's episode of Kirkwood and Dunn, Trent and Tim react to the massive ripple effects of Indiana's historic national championship run. Has anything actually changed, or are programs frantically spending to keep up with the Curt Cignetti effect? Plus, we look at the final chapter of the Brendan Sorsby gambling fallout, break down the leadership collapse at Michigan State, and drop our official blind rankings of the Big Ten teams that pose the biggest threat to the Hoosiers' crown. Hit that LIKE button, SUBSCRIBE, and tell us your top Big Ten threats in the comments! * Midwest Weather Disasters & Storm ChasingThe guys dodge severe weather as Trent tracks how tornado alley followed him from Kansas to Ann Arbor. Plus, they laugh at national media members turning into amateur storm chasers. * The "Cignetti Effect" on College FootballWe are 80 days away from kickoff against North Texas! The guys discuss how Cignetti proved proper investment yields instant titles, forcing historical basketball schools like Kentucky and Kansas to frantically pour millions into football. * The Final Brendan Sorsby FalloutThe saga is over. Sorsby withdrew his lawsuit, dropped his injunction, and is entering the NFL supplemental draft. We react to Texas Tech officially folding and why billionaire booster Cody Campbell's legal bullying completely backfired. * Chiefs OTA Surprises: Khalil Benson’s SurgeIn a massive development, the Kansas City Chiefs traded backup tackle Wanya Morris, signaling immense confidence in rookie Khalil Benson. Tim and Trent eat their words on Benson's pass-blocking limits. * The Continuous Meltdown at Michigan StateEast Lansing is a complete dumpster fire. The guys dissect the total governance collapse of the Spartans' board, their AD jumping ship to Kentucky, and Tom Izzo publicly calling out the lack of leadership. * Darren DeVries & The Quiet Bliss of IU BasketballThe best news for Indiana basketball right now is that nobody is talking about them. Tim explains why a complete lack of practice clips is a massive blessing for Darian DeVries as he silently cleans up the program. * Weekly Blind Rankings: Big Ten Threat SpectrumThe segment that gets the internet completely unhinged. Tim and Trent count down from 10 to 1 the exact Big Ten teams they feel most threatened by this season. With BetMGM releasing updated win totals, Purdue is left off entirely after pulling a conference-low 3.5 line. * The Bottom of the Board: "Rutger" sits at #10, followed by Minnesota at #9. Tim names Northwestern at #8 as a sneaky 1% threat due to a Friday night kickoff and Aiden Childs' mobility. * The Off-Schedule Giants: Trent places Iowa at #7, while Tim spaces out Penn State at #6 and USC at #5—pointing out that West Coast teams will struggle coming to Bloomington in the crisp fall weather. * The Dangerous Top 4: Tim places Washington at #4, while Trent locks in Oregon at #3. The board concludes with a heavy-hitting top two: Michigan at #2 and a loaded Ohio State squad at #1.

Peak Improbability Debates, ESPN Future Ratings, & The Absolute Weakness of the Cignetti Defense

Welcome back to another packed episode of Kirkwood and Dunn! This week, the guys are diving into the ultimate sports thought experiments, reacting to where the national media expects our program to head over the next decade, and taking a microscopic lens to the 2026 Hoosier roster with their first official positional breakdowns. Plus, we look at the wild, ongoing aftermath of the Brendan Sorsby gambling fallout—including Texas Tech’s horrendous public relations roundtables and the unhinged meltdowns happening on our newly launched Facebook page. We close things out with our favorite topic: designing a giant, 200-foot permanent monument to celebrate our 16-0 National Championship run. EPISODE BREAKDOWN * The Ultimate Sports Miracle: IU vs. Team USA Trent throws a wild historical thought experiment at Tim: What would be more improbable—the United States Men's National Team winning the soccer World Cup, or Indiana winning the 16-0 college football National Championship? The guys break down why IU coming out of nowhere as the historically losingest program in division one football to completely dominate the sport remains the biggest hill any team has ever climbed. * A New Era of NBA Parody & The Knicks Drought Reacting to the New York Knicks breaking their 54-year championship drought, the guys look at the massive talent redistribution across professional basketball. With an unprecedented run of eight different champions in eight straight years, Tim weighs in on how the NBA has transformed into a college football style portal era. * ESPN Future Power Rankings: Snubbed at #7 Adam Rittenberg and the ESPN brain trust released their future power conference outlooks. Last year they checked in at #20, and this year they jumped all the way to #7. Tim brings out the broomstick, completely trashing Notre Dame sitting at #1 on the backs of CJ Carr and Marcus Freeman, explaining why Curt Cignetti’s portal evaluation means our future is vastly undervalued. * Defensive Backfield Predictors & The High-Upside Rover * The Absolute Weakness of the Defense: The Linebackers * The Sorsby Fallout Part 2: White Dude Roundtables Texas Tech’s internal damage control continues to crash and burn. The guys react to Tech releasing a horrific 22-minute roundtable video featuring university presidents and administrators attempting to act virtuous about protecting a known gambler who was actively betting against his own locker room. * Designing the 200-Foot Limestone Trophy Monument Listener Jordan writes in to ask where the school will permanently place the 2026 National Championship banners. Tim advocates for stripping out the mismatched fonts on the West press box, while Trent demands the university paint the massive Memorial Stadium elevator shaft limestone structures so fans can take permanent photos.

Brendan Sorsby Shockwaves | Cody Campbell Never Stops Talking & The Indiana Football Threat Rankings

Welcome back to another unfiltered episode of Kirkwood and Dunn! This week, college football was sent into an absolute tailspin, and all roads somehow lead right back to Bloomington. We are unpacking the massive Brendan Sorsby gambling saga, reacting to the Texas court injunction, and calling out the absolute clown show surrounding Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell. Plus, we look at the wild news of the Chicago Bears potentially moving across state lines to Hammond, Indiana, before diving into our weekly blind rankings to break down the non-Big Ten teams that actually pose a threat to our national championship repeat path. * The Brendan Sorsby Gambling Saga Explodes The biggest story in the sport centers on former IU quarterback Brendan Sorsby. The guys lay out the staggering timeline: 9,000 micro-bets, betting across state lines under the age of 21, and actively betting the under on Indiana games while sitting right inside the Hoosiers' own quarterback room. * Lubbock Legal Injunction Mockery A Texas court just granted Sorsby a temporary injunction, pushing his official trial date until a week after the national championship game. Trent and Tim break down the incredibly weak "mental health and camaraderie" justification used by the judge and explain why this sets a terrifying precedent for the absolute integrity of college athletics. * Cody Campbell & Outkick Meltdowns Texas Tech billionaire booster Cody Campbell went on with Dan Dakich to defend the program, hilariously trying to compare their gambling disaster to Penn State. The guys rip into Campbell's thin-skinned Twitter habits and explain how his mental gymnastics completely undermine the basic premise of sports betting integrity. * JD Pickell’s Silver Lining butt-KissingThe guys react live to On3's JD Pickell attempting to talk out of both sides of his mouth to find a "silver lining" in a player betting on his own locker room. Tim calls out the grade-A media pandering and explains why the court of public opinion needs to make a complete mockery of Texas Tech all season long. * The Hammond Bears? Real Estate & Billionaires As a lifelong region resident, Tim reacts to the Chicago Bears' board advancing a project to potentially build a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana. The guys discuss the classist reactions from Chicago media, the reality of Illinois legislative gridlock, and what a multi-billion dollar state-line border jump actually means for the region. * Curt Cignetti: Time Sports Icon In entirely unsurprising news, our fearless leader Curt Cignetti was officially named to the Time 100 sports icons list. The brand growth is relentless. * Weekly Blind Rankings: Non-Big Ten Daunted List Trent and Tim close things out by going back and forth on a completely blind ranking of the top 10 non-Big Ten programs that make them nervous in a potential playoff matchup.
