Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast
Three alumni/superfans, Marty, Chris and Adam discuss Gonzaga Basketball with previews, recaps and game analysis, all presented with good humour (spelled the English way because we're fancy).

With the greatest non-NCAA Tournament competition in college basketball history behind us, Free Ira Brown has it all covered. In the latest episode, our heroes breakdown the beat down of the Buckeyes (Baby Daddy!), the fall to Florida (oh, Silas) and the Rui-breakout-that-was-almost-a-disaster-but-turned-out-OK victory over Texas.

Those stories, plus we check in on the polls and the Gonzaga women, the Tweet of the Week makes its triumphant return -- and just might send us off into a three-on-five rabbit hole -- and we preview the upcoming games against Incarnate Word (don’t call it Incarnate World) and the Creighton Blue Jays (don’t call them the Jays…or Rays).

And finally, we finish up with our Top 3 takeaways from the magical weekend that was the PK 80.

And now, the real (turkey) meat of Gonzaga’s schedule begins. Stuffed with top-100 (and hopefully top-10) teams the Bulldogs head down to the beautiful (and wet) Rose City for the PK 80 tournament in Portland, and Free Ira Brown has the main course and all the side dishes covered.

In the latest episode, our heroes take an in-depth look at Ohio State (including the return of two beloved segments), then break down the (hopeful, likely, probable, if-someone-doesn’t-screw-it-up) matchup with Florida. What would success look like? Will the Bulldogs end up playing Duke? What would constitute disappointment?

Our heroes are joined by heroes in their own right: the editor of this very Web site, Peter Woodburn, and Slipper Still Fits writer Keith Ybanez team up for a wide-ranging chat covering their Slipper Still Fits origin stories, their fight against the evil forces that are other fan sites and what their hopes are for this multiverse’s Bulldogs.

Those story lines, plus: the polls are back (like a villain who just. won’t. die.), there’s an update on the recruitment of new members to the team and a quick glance ahead (or behind, in the case of Howard) to the next foes.

And finally, this week’s story arc ends with a rundown of the Top 3 musical acts we’ve seen.

No more season previews, no more scrimmages, no more exhibitions. Thankfully. Mercifully. Adverbily. We finally (FINALLY!) have real Gonzaga basketball. No, really. It’s a dream matchups with … er … Texas Southern. But still, it’s a real Friday evening tipoff with real repercussions and real lineups and … what’s this? It’s a real Free Ira Brown season preview?!

That’s right, our heroes are back, finishing up the preseason rabblerousing with a real look ahead to Gonzaga’s 2017-18 season. We’ve got real injury news (get well soon, Jesse, Jeremy & Emma!), real recaps of the fake game against the College of Idaho, and is this really going to be our starting lineup?
