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

We're A Little Upset

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

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.

Episode 6: Gonzaga Crushes Creighton, 'Nova Looms

Free Ira Brown! - The Gonzaga Hoops Podcast ·

2017/12/04

After a second half as dominant as the one Gonzaga had against Creighton, we just couldn’t wait until Monday. That performance got us so excited, the Free Ira Brown crew got going early, and finished…uh…before our normal finishing time. And so the latest episode of Free Ira Brown is here, in which our heroes cover the crushing of Creighton in the Kennel. The Blue Jays were game, but Tillie and Norvell were too good. We break it all down. We also take a look ahead at the jewel of Gonzaga’s

2017/11/29

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 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
