Episode 31: The Fall of the Wild Paisan

This week’s podcast features our latest big moods, a look back at our preseason football roster draft and what we learned from it, and a preview of Wednesday’s MBB game against Northwestern with special guest Ben Goren. 
Topics include: rumors of Caleb Williams transferring to Wisconsin, the eye test vs analytics in basketball, which player will go first in next year’s football roster draft, Northwestern’s odd roster construction, Tom Izzo’s outspoken love of bad coaches, actual turnovers vs functional turnovers, Chase Audige’s will to win, NW’s aversion to guarding the three-point line, can Ryan Young draw enough fouls on Hunter Dickinson to swing the game, and more.
