Will Week 10 of Big Ten Football be EVEN SPOOKIER than Week 9? Off Talkle Empire investigates

GOOD NEWS! We used TWO MICROPHONES this time!

Bad news...we’re still ironing out the kinks, by which I mean I was apparently not clear enough on how much farther Andrew needs to turn down the gain on his mic and how much closer to it he should be, and also I didn’t bother to check the rate at which his track was recording. SO! After some attempts to fix this in post-production, stretches of it kind of sound like Off Talkle Empire: Live In Front Of Absolutely Nobody!

ANYWAY. Double-header!

In our Week 9 review:

• Remember when some people thought this Ohio State Buckeyes team would take a step back? WELL QUIT IT. YOU’RE MAKING THEM STRONGER.
• Jeff Brohm coaches himself out of a game against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Paul Chryst offers bland sympathy.
• These are the steady state conditions of the Michigan State Spartans under Mark Dantonio. How did his bid to blow up the Death Star fail?
• RED RIVER DICKTRIP PARTY!
• Are any P5 coaches still on the hot seat?

In our preview of Week 10, we tackle:

• #ILLINUTGERS
• #ILLINUTGERS
• #ILLINUTGERS
• How did Michigan get left out of Important Team Bye Week?
• Will Purbraska, otherwise known as Husker’Due, end up being pretty fun?
• Is it finally time for the Novembercats to shine?
