Show Notes
Pull out your abacuses because it's time to calculate weekend outcomes with Ari Wasserman! He and Andy cruise through Pittsburgh-Notre Dame and set the stage for the Andy's pushup party (:30). As the upper body workout begins, Ari previews the Big10's opening weekend, starting with Wisconsin-Illinois (8:30). Are the 19.5-points the Badgers are favored by enough? Could Wisconsin blow the doors off this game early? "Mom's spaghetti, knees weak, arms are heavy." Andy's not enjoying his mother's pasta dish, but his arms sure are HEAVY, speaking of which, is there a heavy favorite in Penn State-Indiana (15:00)? Clapping pushups??? Are you kidding us, Andy??? Could Nebraska clap back at Ari for believing Ohio State will dominate this contest (18:00)? On the topic of the Big 10, will Bo Pelini's defense keep South Carolina in check (23:45)? Can we expect the 2-0 Tennessee who started the season off strong, or the 0-2 Tennessee club that's floundered against Georgia and Kentucky this Saturday against 'Bama (26:15)? It is done. Next week's bet is set. Michigan-Minnesota...and a dark beer (36:45). Plus, would P.J. Fleck be more likely to stay at Minnesota where he could, potentially, have a statue of himself outside TCF Bank Stadium, or take over a more prestigious program and earn more dough? Who's most likely to drop their first conference game of the season, Oklahoma State or Iowa State (46:15)? Lastly, Random Rankings!
