8:10Send us a text 1979 marked a pivotal year in basketball history, with Larry Bird leading the Indiana State Sycamores to an undefeated regular season. Before this, Bird remained relatively unknown, despite his exceptional talent. The national broadcast of the Sycamores' game against Wichita State, championed by individuals like Rex Lardner and Al McGuire, brought Bird's skills to the forefront. This game, a resounding victory for Indiana State, solidified their position as the nation's top team and marked the beginning of Bird's legendary career. The rising popularity of college basketball coincided with a decline in the NBA's appeal, possibly due to factors like drug issues and a lack of a dominant team. Bird's captivating journey, from his early days to his national recognition, is a testament to his hard work, resilience, and undeniable talent.

Send us a text This week, we take a look at the media frenzy surrounding basketball star Larry Bird during his undefeated season at Indiana State. Bird's refusal to engage with the media created a unique challenge for Ed McKee, the school's sports information director. McKee was inundated with requests from various outlets, from major publications to niche magazines, all eager to speak with the star player. However, Bird's silence forced McKee into the uncomfortable position of denying these requests. Indiana State President Richard Landini recognized the extraordinary nature of Bird's talent and supported his decision to avoid the media. Landini understood that individuals with Bird's abilities are rare and deserved respect for their choices. This situation highlights the delicate balance between a player's right to privacy and the public's desire for access to celebrated athletes.

The Spartans, a strong team led by Magic Johnson, were expected to easily defeat the struggling Wildcats. However, the Spartans played poorly, shooting a season-low 32.8 percent from the field. They were unable to overcome Northwestern's zone defense and reliance on jump shots. The Wildcats, energized by the home crowd, dominated the second half, leading by as many as 15 points. This upset victory left the Spartans questioning themselves and their ability to compete. Magic Johnson, despite scoring 26 points, was left feeling sick to his stomach, expressing his disbelief at the team's repeated losses. The team's struggles highlighted their over-reliance on Magic Johnson to generate offense and revealed internal problems stemming from their recent string of losses. The episode will explore the factors that contributed to this unexpected outcome and its impact on the Spartans' season.

10:15Send us a text The 1979 college basketball season was a pivotal moment in the sport's history. It was the year that two future NBA legends, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, first faced off in the NCAA championship game. The game was a clash of styles, with Michigan State's fast-paced, high-flying offense led by Johnson's passing going up against Indiana State's deliberate, disciplined approach anchored by Bird's shooting and rebounding. Michigan State won the game in a thrilling finish, but Bird's performance solidified him as a star. The 1979 season also marked a seismic shift in college basketball. The Big Ten Conference was finally stepping out of football's shadow, and smaller conferences like the Missouri Valley were now in the spotlight. The NCAA tournament, which was limited to two teams per conference, had incredibly high stakes. This made the atmosphere electric and packed the arenas, creating incredible battles and controversial calls. The 1979 season set the stage for one of the most iconic rivalries in sports history. Johnson and Bird would go on to face each other in the NBA Finals three times, with each player winning two championships. Their rivalry helped to bring the NBA back into the mainstream and paved the way for the sport's massive popularity today.

Send us a text While Larry Bird and Magic Johnson would become forever linked in basketball history, their paths to success were starkly different. Magic , from the start, was a showman , and sought out the spotlight . Bird , in contrast, just wanted to play basketball , and largely shunned publicity . This difference in personality would be reflected in their choice of colleges: Magic opting for Michigan State , a program with a rich history and a large, passionate fanbase , while Bird chose Indiana State , a smaller, less-heralded school where he could focus on the game. These choices, in many ways, set the stage for their contrasting, yet ultimately intertwined, careers.

Growing up in poverty with a father battling PTSD, Bird developed a sense of grit and determination early on. His older brother's basketball scholarship showed him a path to a different future. The episode tracks Bird's early successes, such as clutch free throws, and how playing under the shadow of Steve Land, a future Indiana University player, pushed him to refine his unique skillset, especially the art of the assist. Local sports writer Jerry Burge becomes a key figure, championing Bird's talent in the Jasper Herald. During Bird's senior year, his physical transformation led to dominant performances and record-breaking stats, generating buzz and even drawing the attention of coach Bob Knight. The episode recounts a legendary, close matchup against Loogootee, a controversial loss, and Bird's initial omission from the Indiana All-State team, which Burge fought hard to rectify. After high school, Bird faced challenges, including his father's passing and a short-lived stint at Indiana University, but ultimately chose to continue his basketball journey at Indiana State. The episode concludes by reflecting on Bird's journey and the potential for overlooked talent, encouraging listeners to recognize greatness in unexpected places.

1:03:12Send us a text This episode of The Anxious Rambler podcast focuses on the host’s recent concert experiences seeing The War on Drugs for two nights in Ohio and Kentucky and a solo trip to see My Morning Jacket in Savannah, Georgia. The hosts begin by talking about their road trip to Columbus, Ohio, the first stop on their concert adventure. They discuss the enjoyment of driving into a city at night and listening to music and their excitement about the upcoming shows. The host shares that, other than a previous two-night stint with The War on Drugs in Louisville and Indianapolis, this is her first experience attending back-to-back shows by the same band. They also talk about their positive impressions of Columbus and Cleveland. The first concert took place at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The host recounts the beauty of the venue, located in a national park, and its history as the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra. They go on to describe The War on Drugs’ setlist, noting standout songs and moments. The setlist included “Oceans of Darkness,” “Pain,” “Ocean in Between the Waves,” “I Don’t Want to Wait,” “Harmonious Dreams,” “Strangest Thing,” “Come to the City,” and “In Reverse.”. The host shares a story about reconnecting with a former coworker, Lane, during the show. She describes how she thought she recognized the woman sitting in front of her but couldn't believe it was actually her. They hadn’t seen each other in 16 years. Lane later turned around and told the host she had been talking about her on the way to the show, specifically mentioning how much the host loves The War on Drugs and wishing she had more friends with similar taste in music. Next, the hosts talk about the second concert, which was at the Bourbon and Beyond festival in Louisville, Kentucky. The host compliments the festival’s side-by-side stage set-up and voices her distaste for VIP sections at shows. The setlist for this performance was similar to the previous night's but with the addition of "Red Eyes," which was played instead of "Strangest Thing," and the covers "Play It All Night Long" and "Under the Pressure." It started to rain during the last two songs of the set, a phenomenon that the host believes is a regular occurrence at outdoor War on Drugs shows. Due to her enthusiastic dancing and energy , the host is dubbed the "fan MVP" by other concert attendees and even manages to score a copy of the setlist. The final part of the episode focuses on the host's recent trip to Savannah, Georgia, where she saw My Morning Jacket with her best friend from home, Shaie. The host describes becoming emotional upon hearing that baseball legend Pete Rose had died just before My Morning Jacket took the stage. Rose, a Cincinnati Reds player and an important figure in the host’s family, had even recorded a Cameo video message for the host's father four years prior. The host shares that she and her friend were then escorted to the front of the stage by an usher just as the lights went down. The host goes on to highlight standout moments from the 20-song setlist, which included “Gideon,” a Chris Kristofferson cover, a Nina Simone cover, and an encore consisting of “Golden,” “Off the Record,” and “Dance Floors”.
