Doyel and Derek Podcast

Doyel and Derek weigh in on a huge offseason for IU basketball, Purdue expectations and Butler’s future. And then they reveal some personal news.

IU hires Mike Woodson as new head coach.

The IU coach search isn’t just dominating NCAA Tournament chatter … it’s also dominating the Doyel and Derek Podcast. Other topics: Purdue’s great season/lousy ending, T.Y. Hilton, Carson Wentz and the pros and cons of chocolate mini-wheats.

Doyel and Derek talk about the IU coaching job (Doyel thinks he knows who the Hoosiers will hire) and Purdue’s Final Four hopes (both are bullish), along with some Colts and Pacers insights … but only after Doyel starts the pod by chewing out pretty much everyone on Twitter.

On the latest Doyel and Derek podcast, they discuss the implosion of Indiana State, ascension of Purdue and malaise of IU, and use Gregg’s story on novelist Pat Conroy to discuss heroes – Patrick Ewing, Derek, really? – and take a shot at Marilyn Manson, Because why not.

Doyel and Derek celebrate Purdue basketball, lament IU and applaud Indiana State's Greg Lansing.

On the latest “Doyel and Derek” podcast, they dig into the Colts’ Carson Wentz trade, the IU basketball team’s Archie Miller problem, and Gregg Doyel’s story on the IHSAA’s unacceptable treatment of kids and parents during eligibility hearings.

What’s up with those Kokomo billboards? Doyel and Derek get into that, as well as a rough recent stretch for area basketball teams – starting with IU, but also Butler, Purdue and the Pacers – and debate Carson Wentz vs. Sam Darnold as the Colts’ next QB.

Doyel and Derek try to make sense of this IU basketball team and the tenure of Archie Miller, while giving proper attention to Purdue’s surge, the Colts’ quarterback search and the winning QB of the Super Bowl, that cheater (Gregg’s word) Tom Brady.

On the latest Doyel and Derek Podcast, they debate Colts QB options (Matt Ryan vs. Carson Wentz vs. Mac Jones), discuss who’s to blame for the Pacers’ being off your TV (it’s Sinclair’s fault), applaud Matt Painter and get into the Super Bowl, where Gregg offers the following: “Antonio Brown? Seriously? Screw YOU, Bruce Arians.”

On the latest Doyel and Derek podcast, they demand the Colts trade for Matthew Stafford, wonder what on earth was that IU loss to Rutgers, and dream about the national championship Gregg Doyel’s promising to win. In boxing. Seriously!

Doyel and Derek discuss the Caris LeVert trade, the rise of Purdue basketball and the fall of IU, and a crazy Colts offseason.

On the new “Doyel and Derek” podcast, they discuss IU, Purdue and the NCAA Tournament; a Colts offseason already riddled with huge holes before the Tuesday retirement of LT Anthony Castonzo; and the big-time college football coaches Doyel likes the least, a list he angrily starts at his alma mater before hitting the Big Ten.

What has Gregg Doyel so fired up? Good grief he was roiling on the latest Doyel and Derek podcast, where they celebrated Indy getting the NCAA Tournament and the Colts getting into the playoffs, but where they – OK, Doyel – ripped sports conspiracy theories and the idea of Sam Darnold or Carson Wentz in Colts blue.

Join IndyStar columnist Gregg Doyel and host Derek Schultz as they discuss IU football, AFC playoff picture and Pacers' Oladipo.

After the Colts manhandled the Raiders to advance heir playoff destiny, Gregg and Derek try to figure out the Colts’ ceiling while wondering the same about IU football. Plus a special shoutout to our heroes in healthcare.

Did you know Gregg Doyel once challenged an angry reader to a fight? The guy actually showed up! It’s in the latest Doyel and Derek Podcast, where the feisty IndyStar sports columnist and handsome hipster Derek Schultz discuss IU-Purdue, the Colts on fourth-and-1, Philip Rivers vs. Sam Darnold vs. Carson Wentz, and more.

On the latest Doyel and Derek Podcast, IndyStar’s Gregg Doyel gets emotional talking about Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez’s cancer diagnosis, and sympathetic about IU QB Michael Penix’s latest devastating injury. And he talks noted hater Derek Schultz off a ledge about Purdue’s and the Colts’ coaches. It’s possible Doyel wrote this synopsis, with no input from Derek.

On Thanksgiving week, the “Doyel and Derek” podcast gets grateful at the end – but starts with the special football seasons of the Hoosiers and Colts, a special season for Purdue derailed by a bad call, the return of Rondale and the Pacers’ offseason decision to stay put. And we’re not saying Kevin Pritchard won that negotiation with Boston’s Danny Ainge for Gordon Hayward … but Ainge absolutely lost.

So much to address on the latest Doyel and Derek Podcast, including a coronabro attacking Doyel. Talk about irony … Also: The 2021 NCAA Tournament’s (probable) move to Indianapolis, Rondale Moore’s (potential) return to Purdue, Pacers star Vic Oladipo’s (painful) public statements, IU football’s (possible) lurking at Ohio State … oh, and the 6-3 Colts bear down on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
