Big Dumb Ten

INDIANA FINALLY DID IT IN THE MOST INSANE WAY POSSIBLE

Against all logic, Week 1 of Big Ten football is here, and we're here to preview it for you.

It's Big Ten East preview time. Ohio State prepares to run roughshod on the division with their superior talent, but can Michigan and Penn State challenge them in a weird year? Is Michigan State going to be awful or just regular bad? Can Indiana defeat a ranked team, ever?

Well, I guess we're doing this after all. It's the Big Ten West preview. Will Wisconsin be Wisconsin as usual? Is Minnesota for real? How much do you know about corn?

We hated Ballers but we had a week to fill so we're bringing you a backdoor pilot for our yet-to-be-named new podcast where we will be discussing shows based solely on their premieres and series finales. Does Ballers manage to have even lower stakes at the end than it did at the beginning? Or did it mature beyond just showing boobs and scenery as much as possible? The answer is somewhere in the middle.

BIG TEN BACK. AGAIN. We're really doing this shit huh. It's gonna be stupid. This sport is very bad.

With (at the time of recording) no Big Ten season to talk about, we dove into and quickly abandoned HBO's Ballers, aka Sports Entourage. Somehow this awful show lasted five seasons.

With no Big Ten football this year and Friday Night Lights done, we find ourselves discussing other football media. We start with The Waterboy, the second most famous college football movie, and also one of the worst.

Welcome to the preview of the season that won't happen. We live in hell.
