It's crossover week! Assembly Call and CrimsonCast have traded places, and Andy Bottoms and Coach Brian Tonsoni take over hosting duties this week. Here's what's up in this all-football episode of CrimsonCast:

We opened the episode by discussing how we became fans of the IU football program, and in both cases the seeds were planted during the Mallory era. We discussed a few favorite games, moments, and players that shaped our fondness for the program before moving into a discussion on the upcoming season.

To start, we recapped changes to the coaching staff and how a couple of them may be exaggerated by the delay in the start of the season. We also touched on how we feel Tom Allen has evolved as a coach, the health of Michael Penix, and our excitement over the depth of this year's team. We then took a quick run through the schedule and allowed our optimism to suggest the team could be bowl eligible before the schedule really ratchets up.

We closed with some tailgating discussion, which was loosely sponsored by visitbloomington.com.
