| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the latest edition of the Audible presented by Trader Joe's. |
| 0:24.8 | I'm Bruce Feld and joined as always by my colleague Stuart Mandel and Stu. |
| 0:29.2 | This weekend we have actual games. |
| 0:31.5 | It is officially Week Zero Week. |
| 0:34.4 | And the biggest game of all, for at least our our week zero is going to be Illinois and Nebraska, |
| 0:41.4 | kicking it all off. And what better way to get it started before we get into the mailbag and |
| 0:48.0 | get into Stu's Big Ten predictions? We're going to talk to an actual Big Ten expert is former |
| 0:53.5 | Ohio State star linebacker |
| 0:55.9 | Joshua Perry from Big Ten Network who was out on the road and visited every Big Ten program |
| 1:04.3 | in camp and has a lot of insight. We're really glad that he has found time to join us today on the Audible. |
| 1:13.1 | We are pleased to be joined now by Joshua Perry from the Big Ten Network. You remember him |

This has not been without issues, though. And some of them started early on. |
| 2:03.1 | We had some trouble leaving our third stop. We were coming from Wisconsin. We were supposed to be |
| 2:08.2 | heading to East Lansing. There was some weather, had a flight issue, ended up making that a drive. |
| 2:14.1 | And then we pulled a similar thing when we were leaving, I believe, Penn State instead of hopping on the plane because that was getting delayed. |
| 2:23.3 | We drove to Rutgers, which wasn't a bad drive. |
| 2:26.6 | And then we had the weekend at home. |
| 2:28.8 | So I'm leaving Columbus and heading over to Purdue right now, which is about a four-hour trip. |
