Before he heads to Orlando, Tom Dienhart of Gold and Black (13:20) talks Boiler football/coaches/portal and more. Then Bobby Buckets is back (26:50) talkin Purdue hoops, what it's like coming out of holiday break, and hitting 3s.

Off of last night's win over New Orleans, Jared and Jeff discuss the merits of Zach Edey sitting, and fans reaction to the slower start. Alan Karpick also joins from Gold and Black. Later, Jared and Jeff attempt to power rank the Big Ten and don't get too far. And then a look at the holiday schedule for the Big Ten.

National Signing Day was today, Jared takes a look at what Purdue has so far, and who's still out there. Basketball is a massive favorite tonight, should the Boilers take a page out of IU's book and sit a few starters? And the things we missed with some NIL drama.

Brian from Delphi Bracketology is here (15:45). Where does Purdue land and how many Big Ten teams do they have in? Later, Jared power ranks the Big Ten and it proves harder than you think from 4-10. And we wrap with a message for football fans...calm down.

Jared is back from his surgery and he missed one heck of a week. Thoughts on the coaching hires, Brees, and why the set up works best (11:50). Basketball stays #1 as it should, but it's going to be hard to keep Houston out of 1 when they get it back (23:30) And the things we missed: Take a bow World Cup, and the guy who caught Judge's HR ball loses 1.5 million.
