A Toast to the First Win of the Season!

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/11/08

Finally! The rock has come back to Spokane! Because, see, the basketball is sometimes called “the rock,” and basketball is back and The Rock was a wrestler who used to say…you know what, never mind. Basketball is back! Gonzaga basketball is back! Real, live, actual basketball! And you know what that means: A full and proper Free Ira Brown is back! That’s right, dear FIBbers, in our most recent episode, our heroes react to the Tillie injury in a timely manner, revisit our own expectations for the

Free Ira Brown Season Preview to End All Previews!

2018/10/31

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

*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).

We're Here for the Summer

2018/08/28

OK, just hear us out. It’s late-August. We know. Lots of things happened since we last podded. We know. We’re sorry. We were trying to find a Chik-Fil-A. But. Much like that one terrifying week after that foam party you don’t like to talk about, we’re late…but we’re finally here! That’s right, Free Ira Brown is back with a mid- … er … late-summer night’s pod! In our offseason recap, our heroes … well, it’s fair to say our heroes are a little rusty. We’ve got premature beer openings, computer/audio

Commiseration and Celebration

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/03/29

Through all the frustration and pain and tears; through all the rage and alibi hours and beers, it’s important to keep perspective. It’s important to not let one game ruin the whole season. Except, that’s what the NCAA Tournament does, right? It builds you up, it gives you hope, only to have your (and 66 other) seasons come to a sudden, crashing halt. The excitement and enthusiasm of a(nother) Sweet 16 appearance dissipates into regret and hand-wringing, students and alums alike becoming vessels of

There will come a time when your heroes, brave and mighty, will return from an in-person meetup with their bodies and brains fully intact. There will come a time when Free Ira Brown, borne of strength and purity, returns from its annual NCAA first-weekend meetup full of voice, vigor and vivacity. This, dear FIBbers, is not one of those times. And yet, despite being on limited sleep and voice quality, our heroes -- showing the type of intestinal fortitude, sheer force of will and cojones to rival one

How the West (Regional) Was Begun

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/03/14

How do we feel about Gonzaga’s draw (hint: we’re not upset)? Where can UNC-Greensboro cause us trouble? What concerns do we have? What’s our dream path to San Antonio? How is Saint Mary’s going to do? We’ve got it all covered. Those stories, plus we take a quick look at the other regions and what intrigues us in each, we check in with the Gonzaga women (They got hosed! They were robbed!), we throw some (listener-fed) crazy statements at you and we share some of our favorite tournament facts. And

Another March, Another WCC Championship

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/03/08

It’s important to peak at the right time. College basketball seasons are marathons, not sprints, after all. What no one wants is to be the Champion of November (ahemsaintmarysahem). It’s with this in mind we here at Free Ira Brown, much like a certain set of basketball teams from Spokane, primed ourselves to be at our best when March rolls around. And in our latest episode, our heroes are in postseason (read: possibly beer-aided) form as we break down Gonzaga’s victories in the WCC Tournament

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/02/28

Complacency in fandom can be tough. When the exceptional becomes routine fans run the risk of being spoiled. That’s why, here at Free Ira Brown, we take care to point out: winning the WCC regular season title never gets old! And in our latest episode, our heroes break down the wins over San Diego and BYU that secured Gonzaga’s 17th regular season title in the last 18 years. From the late-game heroics we’ve come to expect this season (We have a Rui!) in Southern California to the outstanding play of

It's the End of the Regular Season as We Know It

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/02/21

These kinds of podcasts are always bittersweet. First, the sweet: A pair of conference wins (one comfortable, one relatively so), Saint Mary’s losing and Gonzaga where it belongs, alone atop the WCC standings. Then, the bitter: beginning to say goodbye to seniors who have meant so much to the Gonzaga program. And so, in the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, our heroes begin that process, recapping the wins over LMU and Pepperdine (hey, we actually won on Senior Night!) while taking a look back at

Sometimes, when you break into the world of predictions, you’re made to look crazy. Other times, you’re David Jenne. On the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, our heroes are rejoined by David Jenne so he can gloat and reign supreme before we kick him to the curb. And then the real fun begins as we break down every aspect of that delicious, delightful, defensive masterpiece on Landale and the rest of the pretenders from down south(ish). From Rui’s dominance to JW3 anchoring the defense to the

The State Of The Zags

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2018/01/31

As we speed past the halfway point of the West Coast Conference season (where has the time gone?) a thought occurred to us here at Free Ira Brown: It’s about time to give a State of the Team address. It is, after all, about that time of year. And so in our latest episode, our heroes give their thoughts on where we are as a team. Are we more or less optimistic than when we started conference play? In what areas are we doing well and where are we struggling? Why can we not guard the bloody 3-point

They say misery loves company. And, man, do we hate to suffer alone. With that in mind, we here at Free Ira Brown decided we needed to bring in some help. And so, joining our heroes on our latest episode, from about a mile on the dark side of 395, is guest host Lissa Tripp — Spokanite, FIBber supreme and patreon patron. With our powers combined — and maybe a touch of alcohol — Lissa (don’t you dare call her Lisa. Trust us. Don’t do it.) helps the guys break down Gonzaga’s first loss of 2018

And finally, after what feels like such a long while, it’s here. That’s right: it’s Santa Clara Week, baby!!! And in the latest episode of Free Ira Brown, our heroes have it covered top to bottom! Enough about the so-called big names, who on the Broncos do we really need to worry about? What’s Coach Sendek done to really get this team humming along

Yes, dear FIBbers, in our latest episode, our heroes are joined by our hero: Bulldog legend Dan Dickau. The man with the best hair in Gonzaga history joins the pod for a wide-ranging interview covering basketball (What does he like about this year’s team? What are his concerns?) to sort of basketball (Who did you get in a fight with on the court?) to not basketball (Dogs or cats?) and back to basketball again (Why is Brian Michaelson such a grump?).

Episode 10: Smokin' the WCC Scrubs

2018/01/04

You guys hungry? Don’t know about you, but after the distasteful display in San Diego, we here at Free Ira Brown were in need of some good home cooking. Thankfully, Gonzaga provided a pair of performances that could fill any king’s table. And in our latest episode, our heroes break down that appetizing performance against Pacific and the sumptuous spectacle that was Santa Clara. A cutdown in fatty turnovers? That’s on the menu. An uptick in defense? Already ordered. And the FIB crew scarfs it

In our latest episode, our heroes turn over every stone in dissecting the loss to San Diego State (see, because of all the turnovers in the game. There were lots of turnovers by Gonzaga … yeah, sorry). Frustrations about our offense, our defense, our rotations…all are drilled down. Those stories, plus with the holidays come the end of the semester. And with the end of the semester comes grades! Grades for players, grades for coaches, grades for the non-conference schedule.
