The Kids Are(n't) Alright?

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2021/12/16

A lackluster team performance against the Merrimack Warriors last week had us yearning for another tune-up game before Texas Tech on Saturday. A game the Huskies ruined. We recap the Merrimack game, discuss the ups and downs, and give you the 411 on the Red Raiders. We close with the inagural FIB Gonzaga Hall of Fame Class! With a surprise guest. (It's Steven Karr). @freeirabrown patreon.com/freeirabrown

A Tarle-ton of Turnovers

2021/11/30

Gonzaga suffers it's first loss on the season in Vegas to a solid Duke team, primarily due to turnover issues, which somehow continued against Tarleton State on Monday. Should we be worried? Should we panic? Listen to find out! (But probably not). Support the show at patreon.com/freeirabrown!

The Chet Has Hit the Fan

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2021/11/24

Gonzaga CRUSHES three teams no one has heard of to continue their undefeated start to the season . . . wait, one of those teams was UCLA; YIKES! We revel in the walloping of Westwood and Chet, the Wonderboy, coming into his own in front of Dickie V and a National audience on Tuesday. We then preview the game against a team that failed to make last year's NCAA tournament. Coached by some guy named Chichevsky (or something). Marty sends him on his way with a song. (58:34).

Timme Takes Texas

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2021/11/18

Drew Timme is now the undisputed king of Texas. We recap his tremendous performance against the Longhorns, Andrew Nembhard's eight (!!) assists and the return of the Mark Few seven man rotation. Meanwhile, the Ladies' sweep big sky country and look ahead to a big opportunity with Stanford coming to town. You should also expect a lot of UCLA talk. Lastly, we discuss all the wonderful things we're thankful for. ( 1:10:00 ). Support the show! Patreon.com/freeirabrown @freeirabrown

Cattle Called To the Kennel, with Steven Karr

2021/11/11

After a dominating, if initially disjointed, effort in the season opener against Dixie State, the Zags are set to welcome Chris Beard's bevy of experienced transfers. The FIB Boys take a few things away from the opener and give you the rundown on the Longhorns. Former podcast host, Steven Karr, then makes the correct takeaways from the opener and gives his insight on what may be the most anticipated game in the history of the McCarthey Athletic Center. After all that we take the time for some

Hype Train Whistling Dixie State

2021/11/08

Can you believe it’s been seven months since Gonzaga last played a game? Thankfully, that interminable wait is about to end. Gonzaga will shake off the rust and actually get back on the court Tuesday in a meaningful game, and Free Ira Brown is here to get you prepped for big game … or at least, the game before the big game! We’ll tell you everything we know about Dixie State (did you know former BYU coach Dave Rose went there?), look at what we expect from Gonzaga and wonder if this game is enough

On the Brink of a New Season, With KREM 2's Brenna...

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2021/11/02

There’s nothing quite like a season tip-off on Halloween. Well, a kinda-sorta-mostly season tip-off. Exhibition games, at least. But hey, it’s games! And soon! Really soon! And Free Ira Brown is back to make sure our brains are full and ready to go. Not to fight off a zombie apocalypse (brrrraaaaaaaaaaaiiiins), mind you, but to finally fight off the final dregs of the preseason. And to help with that we brought in the great Brenna Greene to lend her expertise to the proceedings.

There’s nothing quite like a good off-season podcast, is there? No games to distract you, no sudden or breaking news to divert your attention. Just three hosts, three microphones and a blank canvas. And just like that, Free Ira Brown is back! Yes, dear FIBbers, we are back with our (slightly delayed) summer pod. We go thoughts on Gonzaga’s schedule (at least what we know of it), we share our feelings on Duke and Coach K (we’re super positive...!), we join in on the heat wave in the northwest by

We turn from the open sore of the Baylor loss to reflect on an unprecedented Gonzaga Basketball season before saying our goodbyes to those who won't return next year, especially newly-minted legends, Ayayi, Suggs and Kispert. Do raise a glass to lads with us! All that and more including, Do you believe in life after Lloyd? We close with some sports history shenanigans.

Trojans Trampled and Into the Final Four

The Free Ira Brown Boys break down Gonzaga's demolition of another NCAA tournament team as they crushed the much ballyhooed upstart Trojans of USC. Turns out even Evan Mobley wasn't long enough to slow down this juggernaut of an offense. Congrats to Drew Timme on most outstanding player in the West Regional. We also take a look ahead to another PAC12 opponent in the UCLA Bruins, breaking down our expectations for the upcoming tilt. All this and more on the latest episode of Free Ira Brown! THE

Spartans Spayed, Sooners Swamped

2021/03/25

In the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, we celebrate the ongoing brilliance of the Bulldogs. A comfortable win over Suffolk Norfolk St. followed by an at-arm’s-length victory over Oklahoma (NOT gifted to GU by the refs, like many Sooners fans would have you believe) extends the nation’s longest Sweet 16 streak, and we have it all covered. Those stories, plus our thoughts on the NCAA Tournament in general, from the Pac-12’s dominance to the Big 10’s, uh, something less than dominance to the which

We're Number 1! But There Is Work To Be Done

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2021/03/16

In the past year, we haven’t had a ton of good news as a society. The same has held true for the sports world. But now, finally, after two long years, the NCAA Tournament is back. And we here at Free Ira Brown couldn’t be happier. In our latest episode, we look at the #1 overall seed (spoilers: it’s Gonzaga…perhaps you’ve heard of them?) and the Bulldogs’ route to the Final 4. Did we like the bracket? How does Gonzaga’s bracket compare to the other #1 seeds? Do we HAVE to play the same teams again

SMC Smushed, BYU Broken

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2021/03/12

Admit it: It’s a bit more fun when there are some nerves attached, right? If Gonzaga had just waltzed through things, blown BYU out of the water, of course it would have been fun and enjoyable. But having taken a punch, having withstood the best BYU had to offer, to come back and not just win, but win by double digits, THAT was a lot more fun. And we’re all about fun on the latest episode of Free Ira Brown. So much so, that we brought in Will Maupin, writer extraordinaire for The Inlander, to help

Broncos Bushwhacked, Lions Lambasted. 24-0!

2021/03/04

A perfect regular season. Twenty-four games, 24 wins. The first time in the 116-year history of Gonzaga basketball the Bulldogs have finished the regular season unbeaten. It’s not everything, obviously the goal is still a national title. But it’s certainly not nothing, and here at Free Ira Brown, our latest episode celebrates this weirdest of seasons. From Jalen Suggs’ first basket against Kansas to Corey Kispert’s 3-point barrage on Senior Night, we look back on a season most memorable. Those

Gaels Grounded, Toreros Trounced

Do you remember when the Gales were actual rivals? Not really sure Gonzaga does, as the Bulldogs smacked around the artist formerly known as Saint Mary’s with ease, their 20th win in the past 24 matchups with SMC. Some rivalry. But that doesn’t stop us at Free Ira Brown from enjoying yet another Bennett bashing. It also won’t stop Adam from having a go at some of the Gonzaga haters across this great land. Those stories, plus we now know who Gonzaga plays the last week of the season, so we’ll look
