the underdog is howling. Stand for Steve and the bear.

Yes, a home team getting points. What's better than that?

Welcome in big 10 edition. Stand for Steve and the bear. Bear out in Vegas. I am out on a beach.

Bear if you hear kids screaming and yelling water dripping from a hot tub

that's above me in the basement here. Those are the noises you'll hear of the 17 people in the house here in the outer banks.

We'll touch on our whereabouts at the end of this, but we got John Murray going to join us in a little bit to talk big 10 as far as action standpoint and what money

teams are taking money and what he thinks of the big 10 huge college football guy hates field goals. So we'll have some fun with that.

Bear, let's do this to start and I have him in order from lowest wind totals all the way up. So this way we get to him and then we'll get to the good stuff with John.

We're going to see this team right off the bat in Dublin. It's Northwestern. It's coming off at three and nine year and 21. They're over under wind total. It's three and a half.

Half its share. We know we've done. They're one of our favorite teams to play on later in the year, but last year it just didn't happen.

There were injuries. I just go back to the quarterback play. They have had, you know, when they got the Ramsey kid in the COVID year, they were good. I mean, they made it to Indianapolis.

But that seems to be the fall off since Thorsten is left. They got possibly the best left tackling college football and Peter Skaronsky.

They got guys coming back on defense. They're, I said they're playing the brass guy. I think that lines up to 12 and a half.

I think the only side you can play in that. And I'm fearful of seeing the brass can that opener last year. It gets Illinois.

And I know you are too. I think the only side would be Northwestern. Go ahead. Your thoughts on the Wildcats.

It's hard because I think. Excuse me. It's probably here in Vegas. All good.

Yeah, we're good. So we're clearing the clearing this road. I haven't spoken to you today.

It's hard for me to expect a massive turnaround because things got so bad last year.

Like they won all those close games in 2020. And then last year, yeah, you may be regressed and you lose some close games.

But they were just blown out. I mean, they were knocking games.

It looks like a little in scale. Be the quarterback. Yeah. So you expect them to be a little bit better on offense.

But defensively, they were horrific at the end of last year. How much better defensively can you get?
