    S2E10 - It's The Boo-nited States of America And We're All Living In It

    Friend of the podcast and now recurring guest Ben (@kicknyrgios) joins us to discuss the scene in Welsh-Ryan Arena for Northwestern-Illinois and Boo Buie's status as one of the best players in college basketball. Babar also shares why he thinks Purdue is "worse" than last year, and delivers us the Bordeaux Zone Tasting Menu for a truly brutal Saturday schedule in the Big Ten.

    S2E9 - Terrance Shannon's Return for Illinois Adds To An Already Bleak Big Ten Season

    It's the much awaited return of Tommy Crimes! Things aren't getting any better for the Big Ten as Purdue, Wisconsin, and Illinois comfortably rest atop the conference while the rest of the teams struggle to survive on a night-to-night. The biggest story in the league is Terrance Shannon's return to the Illinois lineup amid an ongoing investigation related to a rape charge in Kansas, which becomes a grosser story with each passing week. The pod shares their thoughts on the situation and the duty that those who cover college basketball have when discussing similar situations. It's frankly not a fun topic, but a necessary one as it has major implications on the Big Ten race.

    S2E8 - Stephen Bordeaux, Dug McDaniel's Weird Suspension, and The Pursuit Of The Elusive Big Ten Road Win

    Did your favorite Big Ten team play two games this week? Chances are, they lost the road game but won the home game. Despite a few upsets like Maryland's improbable win over Illinois and Nebraska's throttling of Purdue in Lincoln, it was more of the status quo as most of the league went .500 on the week. Chris and Babar also break down Purdue's upcoming week of road tests, the teetering status of Illinois and Ohio State, and discuss the viability of a Big Ten broadcaster's alternate career as a sommelier.

    S2E7 - It Might Be Cold Outside But The Big Ten Action Is Heating Up

    The calendar has flipped to 2024 and unsurprisingly, the Big Ten is still impossible to figure out. Chris and Babar run through the Big Ten standings with two months to play, including discussion of whether Wisconsin can give Purdue a run for the Big Ten title, plus the impact of Terrance Shannon's suspension on Illinois's ceiling.

    It was a monster weekend for the Big Ten as Purdue, Michigan State, and Nebraska spearheaded some marquee wins for the conference.

    S2E5 - The Big Ten Stinks In A Very Loud And Incredibly Smelly Way

    God's conference continues to disappoint after another weekend of letdowns against marquee competition. Is it worth putting your faith in anyone other than Purdue? Probably not! Also, could we be nearing the end of Juwan Howard's tenure at Michigan? And is he the only coach in the Mitten State that might be ready to call it quits?

    It's like Groundhog Day for the podcast as we discuss Purdue's struggles against Northwestern, Maryland's general disinterest in playing basketball, and more thoughts on the opening slate of Big Ten league games. Plus, some ramblings on The Muppet Christmas Carol, because why not. Twitter: @gamesonpod, @tommy_crimes, @babaresq, @ChrisSchutte3 Music: Sports FM by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

    S2E3 - Which Founding Fathers Could Hoop? Plus Purdue's Maui Dominance, Ohio State's Turn As the 2nd Best Team, and Previewing the Big Ten Openers

    Feast Week was in fact a feast for the Big Ten as Purdue, Ohio State and Wisconsin all picked up big wins, among others. This week also marks the return of The Bardo Zone as league play tips off, which is extremely gross to think about. There's also brief discussion about which Founding Fathers could hoop.
