Big Ten This or That?

It's the dog days of summer, officially. Spring ball has concluded, May is here, and we are three months away from preseason camps kicking off. You know what that means: it's time to concoct dumb scenarios that probably aren't going to happen, and decide which is more likely to come to fruition. Ryan and Clinton play a version of "This or That?" Both co-hosts have formulated a handful of hypothetical situations, and pairing two against each other, they decide which of the two unlikely outcomes is more likely to come to fruition during the 26-27 college football season. Get your popcorn and undoubtedly get mad, and see what nonsense the guys have come up with. Join us on our Youtube channel live for shows.

Big Ten Fantasy Draft

It's draft season! And to honor the occasion Ryan and Clinton are drafting Big Ten positions groups ... but with a twist. In what will be a season-long game, each co-host will draft a team in which each pick is an entire position group (QB, RB, WR/TE, OL, D, ST). To make things more interesting, each position group has been assigned a hypothetical dollar value, ranging between $1 and $5, and each team will have a salary cap of $18. Spend big on proven productions? Or look for bargains and build the deepest overall team? What will each of our co-hosts choose in a game that will be fun to track as the season progresses.
