Ep 1330 - Griffin Gonzalez on IU Football’s Transformation, Hoosier the Bison & Leaving for Boston
Podcast: CrimsonCastPublished On: Fri Feb 13 2026
Description: Galen Clavio sits down with Griffin Gonzalez for an “exit interview” that turns into a perfect snapshot of what the last few years of Indiana football have felt like from inside Memorial Stadium.Griffin shares what it was like serving as IU football’s on-field mic personality through the program’s lowest moments — and then watching the place transform into a full-blown destination as the wins (and the crowds) exploded. They talk about the unseen work that goes into fan experience, the pressure of “being the ambassador of fun” even on brutal Saturdays, and the upgrades that changed the in-stadium production along the way.Plus: Griffin explains why he’s leaving Indiana for a new on-air opportunity in Boston, tells the behind-the-scenes story of Hoosier the Bison’s return (and the stress of introducing him), and reflects on the playoff run as a lifelong IU fan who never really let himself believe something like this could happen.
