Hammerin' Ales Football Podcast #11: Spring Ball Wrap-Up

It was the last day of the season for Manchester United as they were set for their match with AFC Bournemouth. A huge win, and a Manchester City loss, could propel them to finish in the Top 4 of the Premier League, giving them a place in the Champions League. But a suspicious device was found in Old Trafford, leading to an evacuation and a rare postponement for Man U. Sure enough, our friend, Paul Banks of the SportsBank.net was actually in attendance. Today’s LGWS podcast is a unique one where Paul gets to share his first hand experience as the stadium was evacuated and the drama that ensued afterwards. It’s going to be a cold few days in the Midwest (or warm if you’re on the west coast like me), so why do you cuddle up next to the fire, add some more marshmallows to your hot chocolate, and listen in to this fascinating story.

Just a warning about this podcast: it’s definitely a bit more on the PG-13 rated side of things. Normally, that doesn’t matter, but I just wanted to warn you in case you decide to listen to this podcast with your kids in your car. Just in case you don’t want to explain what Playboy is and what not. Now that you have been warned, it’s time for a new edition of the Let’s Get Weird, Sports podcast, with our friend, Paul Banks. In this episode, Travis and Paul discuss the famous 1983 Illinois team that went 9-0 in conference play, and is the last team to beat all Big Ten teams in a single season. Despite their record, and the mediocre record of their opponent, the UCLA Bruins, the Illinois Fighting Illini were destroyed in this game, and was one of the most lopsided Rose Bowl games in history.How could this be? Well, legend has it that the Illinois team rung in the New Year at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion. Hugh, being an Illinois grad himself, wasted no time inviting the players to his house for an official visit when they first arrived. But were the Illini invited back for New Years, or is this just a myth?Listen to our podcast and decide! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

LGWS #4: 1984 Illinois Rose Bowl Team and the Playboy Urban Legend

We decided to record a quick episode of the H&amp;R Podcast as we react to Carsen being drafted by the 76ers (and then traded to the Celtics). The first half is basically just Travis and Juan being silly and waiting for Carsen to be drafted. Given some of the frustrations Purdue fans had last night as they waited, we figured you guys would enjoy some of our pre-selection banter. Afterwards, we react to Carsen's selection, how he ended up in the 2nd round, and whether or not he'll fit at the Celtics. It's a short podcast, so we hope you listen in!

H&R Basketball Podcast #3: Reactions to Carsen Being Selected in NBA Draft

Albert Berg

With the offseason in full swing, we bring back our "Let's Get Weird, Sports" Podcast, a pod where Travis and Paul (and formerly Casey) talk about random sports subjects that interest them in their spare time. Today's LGWS pod actually has a Purdue connection, as Travis and Paul talk about Purdue's first football coach, Albert Berg. What makes this a subject for the LGWS pod? Well, Coach Berg only coached one game at Purdue, their first ever game, which they lost; he also happened to be deaf and struggled at speaking as a result of his deafness. Additionally, we go off on a tangent as Paul reads a section from his new book, "No, I Can’t Get You Free Tickets", as he talks about his encounter with...Bobby Knight.
