    Resolutions To Make Sports More Entertaining (Episode 9)

    It's the ninth episode of The Watercooler — The Forest Scout's sports hypothetical discussion show — with hosts Ryan Peters, Carson Ward, Peter Elliott, and Billy Gardner.

    How Would We Improve Sports Video Games? (Episode 8)

    In the eighth episode of The Watercooler — The Forest Scout's sports hypothetical discussion show — hosts Ryan Peters, Carson Ward, and Billy Gardner eulogize the 2010s in the sporting world by reflecting on the things that really mattered: contracts, broadcasters, and refs.

    We make "Chili's Lock of the Week" picks and discuss how we would revitalize the sports video game industry. (Hint: Bring back NCAA Football.) The Joey Goodsir Show with Billy Gardner was canceled due to poor athletic performance by Michigan.

    In the seventh episode of The Watercooler — The Forest Scout's sports hypothetical discussion show — hosts Ryan Peters, Carson Ward, and Billy Gardner eulogize the 2010s in the sporting world by reflecting on the things that really mattered: contracts, broadcasters, and refs.
