OK, let’s get this out of the way at the top: We recorded this week’s episode before Killian Tillie’s injury was announced. We didn’t ignore it. You can’t accuse us of being in denial. Mostly. You know…ish.

So what CAN you accuse us of? How about a high level of excitement as we help you count down the days until Thursday’s exhibition season-opener?

That’s right, dear FIBbers, Free Ira Brown is back with part two of our season preview. In our latest episode, our heroes go over what little info we have from GU’s victory over Michigan State in the “secret” scrimmage, take a peek at the polls and exalt at the most important news of the day.

Those stories, plus we pick our starting lineups for the first game (seriously, you couldn’t announce Tillie’s injury before we recorded? Sigh), have a festive Italian dinner with our non-conference schedule, take 90 seconds to discuss the other relevant non-conference matchups across the WCC and make our predictions for the season.

And finally, we end the episode with a riveting game of “Who’d You Rather?”

All this and more in the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast. Do come preview our preview, won’t you?

*Scrolls through old posts* ”Good God, That’s Free Ira Brown’s music!” No, no, we did that one already.

*Scrolls further* “From the depths of the darkness of despair rises a podcast…” Nope, did that one already, too.

*Looks closer* “We’re baaaaaccck!” Did that one, as well (note to self: Still use the Randy Quaid GIF from Independence Day on Twitter).

Maybe just go back to basics: Hey, everybody! Free Ira Brown is back!

That’s right, as the calendar switches into God’s season (college basketball season, of course), our heroes are back for another season of podcasting (our fifth!). With Kraziness in the Kennel in the books, it’s time for the first of our two-part season preview. In this episode, we'll discuss Larsen leaving, Geno joining and a bevy Bulldogs on preseason award lists.

Those stories, plus, we take a quick look back at Kraziness, breakdown the individual players and our expectations for them and opine for more Rem/Dakich twitter beefs.

All this and more on the season-opening episode of Free Ira Brown, THE Gonzaga Hoops Podcast! Do join in the fun, won’t you?
