Knives Out // Football 2022, Episode 10

Ohio State beat Iowa 54-10, but did it really feel like a typical 44 point OSU win? Adam isn't so sure because of Ohio State's offensive numbers, especially on the ground, but Zack feels good.

Adam and Zack both share their updated CFP Predictions to answer a Viewer Question before Big Ten Takeaways where some talk about Iowa's offense and the Big Ten West leads nicely into our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks.  Michigan tries to exorcise their Mel Tucker demons this week (spoiler alert: Adam thinks Michigan will do just that) and Ohio State heads to Happy Valley to face Penn State in our Game of the Week!

Finally, we wrap up with our Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week. 

Annihilation // Football 2022, Episode 9

"We all agree Penn State will shut down, or slow down, the Wolverine run game. There's no doubt." -Urban Meyer.

We start off by talking about just how dominant the Michigan running game was against Penn State, to the tune of 418 yards. Adam and Zack both focus on Illinois for their Big Ten Takeaways after there's more of the same for our Picks Standings. Then on to the Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks, Varsity Games, and our 3 Games of the Week!

To round things out, Adam and Zack share their Things No One is Talking About and then Adam has a few Tweets of the Week and a rant or two while Zack shares his Tweet of the Week.

Football 2022, Episode 8

We were forced to record late and over Zoom this week because Zack is a world traveller but, hey, at least Justin Fields is still in the NFL. 

Michigan dropped in the polls after playing a nearly identical game as the team (Clemson) who passed them. Regardless, is the first half of Michigan-Indiana a sign that Michigan isn't legit or not a big deal? Ohio State wrecked Michigan State yet again.

We get into our condensed Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks and a couple varsity games, with Ohio State playing nobody to avoid the having-beaten-Michigan State curse. Game of the Week: Alabama at Tennessee -- does Alabama finally stop getting away with these bad showings?

Finally we wrap up with some Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week! 

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly // Football 2022, Episode 7

Michigan took care of Iowa while Ohio State wrecked Rutgers again. Viewer questions get discussed for a while regarding Wisconsin's next head coach, who the 4th best team in the Big Ten is (maybe nobody?), and predicting the rest of Michigan State's schedule.

Then we get into our Big Ten Takeaways, which smoothly transition to the Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks, then the Michigan, Ohio State, and Game of the Week picks. Last we talk about some Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week!

Cape Fear // Football 2022, Episode 6

Should Michigan fans be panicking after their win this past weekend? Zack and Adam talk about the Wolverines' 34-27 victory over Maryland and if it means anything for Michigan moving forward before briefly touching on Ohio State wrecking Graham Mertz and Wisconsin.

We update our picks standings and have some Big Ten Takeaways heading into the thick of the conference schedule before jumping face first into the Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks, Michigan's and Ohio State's games -- spoiler alert: Adam is not comfortable with Michigan heading into Kinnick. Then our game of the week: Oklahoma State at Baylor.

Wrapping up this week's show we have some Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week!

Made // Football 2022, Episode 5

Ohio State wrapped up their out of conference schedule with a blowout win over Toledo and Michigan wrapped up theirs with a blowout win over UConn, but Zack and Adam still had a few fun stats to share from those so-called "games."

Viewer questions: Is Penn State Legit? Is Michael Penix legit or is Michigan State's secondary that awful? Our Big Ten Takeaways flow from a little more about Michigan State right into our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks, back into more MSU-Minnesota is the first Varsity Game of the week even though the game really could tell us nothing about either team. 

We wrap up with some Things No One is Talking About and our Tweets of the Week give Adam a segue way into comparing Mel Tucker to Brady Hoke again. Big Ten season is finally here! Cupcakes still abound for Michigan and Ohio State for a few weeks but now they're decorated with the Big Ten logo!

We recap Michigan's and Ohio State's games against really weak teams before answering the viewer questions of who we think Nebraska SHOULD go after and who they WILL go after, after Scott Frost was fired following Nebraska's loss to a really weak team.

Then we have a couple of Big Ten Takeaways with some discussion on Kirk & Son over at Iowa, our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks along with the rest of the Big Ten Games and Game of the Week featuring Michigan State. Adam gets Zack back with a sneak attack of facts during Things No One is Talking About and we wrap up with our Tweets of the Week!

The Great Outdoors // Football 2022, Episode 3

The outdoors sure are great to some but apparently not to Gene Smith, probably on behest of Ryan Day & company. On a scale of 27-42, how soft is Gene Smith's comment? We recap Week 1 and then answer a viewer question about if Notre Dame-Ohio State close because Notre Dame is good or because Ohio State isn’t as good as we thought.

Zack is out to an early lead after a perfect week of picks and we have quite a few Big Ten Takeaways before our Rapid Fire Turd Pile Picks for Week 2 and our varsity games and Florida-Kentucky Game of the Week. Then we wrap up with some Things No One is Talking About and Tweets of the Week!

As the temperature drops be sure to warm up with LonoLife Bone Broth! Extraordinary? Exactly.

Superbad // Football 2022, Episode 2

I'm sure Scott Frost could use a nice big thermos of #Lonolife bone broth. It's delicious, it's healthy -- seriously it's the best bone broth ever made. Go check them out!

After talking about how dumb Scott Frost is for a little bit Adam wonders how bad, or even decent, Illinois might be becoming under Bret Bielema?! Then we rapid fire predict the turd pile of games before previewing Penn State at Purdue, Colorado State at Michigan, and Notre Dame at Ohio State.

Things No One Is Talking About gets a little bit personal as Zack sneak attacks Adam with a stat he thinks will be embarrassing and we wrap up with our Tweets of the Week.

Ohio State (2), Michigan (8), Michigan State (15), and Wisconsin (18) are all ranked in the AP Top 25. We predict which of those 4 will see their ranking drop the most by the end of the season and then which UNRANKED Big Ten team(s) will finish the season ranked.

Then we each share our thousand foot views on Ohio State’s and Michigan’s seasons, give our thoughts on the team most likely to give either team a regular season loss, before we each talk about our biggest concern for each team heading into the season. Finally, Zack says what he’s most excited about for Ohio State while Adam says what he’s most excited about for Michigan. After that we each give our Big Ten Championship matchup and champion predictions, Big Ten Player of the Year prediction, and round out our football talk with our College Football Playoff participants and champion predictions.

We talk about Bronny James for a few seconds before going into who each of us would choose for our zombie apocalypse teams if we could only choose current college football coaches.
