As you are all well aware, we are nearing the end of the college football offseason. But despite only being a few more sleeps away, we’re in that weird spot where there’s not really anything going on accept a lot of prognostication. You know... things like Nebraska is going to win the Big Ten West, Minnesota is THE sleeper, Jim Harbaugh is finally going to fulfill that Minnesota Michigan Miracle Man promise and win the whole damn thing.
Honestly, it’s too much. If you’re not adding sugar to my Nate Stanley Kool-Aid, I’m not that interested. Sue me.

If you would like to finalize that chapter of Iowa Hawkeye history too, here’s the full game:
If you would like to just hear us talk about it, here’s the pod (Apple/Spotify/Google links at the bottom):
We also discuss a Gookin/BoilerHawk hypothetical that we got in last weeks comments and attempt a new segment called “Kirk in Translation” where we dissect his Big Ten Media Day soundbites (shout out to BTN for the audio) and tell you all what he really means.
If you like what you’re hearing and/or have a question for next weeks show, let us know on Twitter (@DaveCreagh, @ChiPeoplesChamp, @JerryScherwin) or in the comments below.
All the X’s and O’s.
