  • Summary

  • On this edition of Xs & Joes, Bob and Mike step back into their wheelhouse: busting myths … or in this episode’s case, maybe killing sacred cows?

    They open with a wistful goodbye to the Irish Lion and discuss everyone’s most beloved collegiate apparel company.

    Then it’s time for a frank discussion about the film that helped cement Indiana’s reputation as the basketball state in the minds of so many.

    Segment One dives into the real story that inspired Hoosiers: the Milan Miracle.

    • What really happened in 1954?
    • How did the timing of Hoosiers’ release impact its cultural significance?
    • Why it is still such a great and relevant movie

    Segment Two then dives into the misguided mythos of Hoosiers.

    • Native Indiana players always have a reputation for punching above their weight
    • Personal fan preferences are superior to proven methods by winning programs
    • Teams should win more with less talent


    Bob and Mike close with a discussion about the recently deceased Tates Locke, who had a strong Bob Knight connection, and another Indiana-based basketball movie.
