At last, we have a football game—in the Big House with fans and the banner and everything—to discuss. Alex Cook, Connor Southard, and Dan “Thicc Stauskas” join me to provide each of our Big Moods following the 47-14 victory over Western Michigan. Ronnie Bell news aside, it’s hard not to feel good after that game.

We then dig into some nitty-gritty talking points: the excellence of Blake Corum and Hassan Haskins, which players will step up to replace Bell’s production, whether the offense was the right level of vanilla for week one, if the defensive line did its job, what a great defense looks like in 2021, and more. Finally, we finish the pod with our week two picks—we regret to inform you that you maybe should listen to Dan—and a little tease at some upcoming site news.
