Slow States Podcast #17: Where The Goal Posts Keep Moving

And Wolverine games keep getting weirder. Michigan and Illinois combined for 49 points in one quarter, Penn State overcame a 21-point deficit, and Iowa flirted with Death By Hoosier all afternoon before having a miracle dropped into their hands. Fun weekend. Oh, and Michigan State and Wisconsin won games, we guess.

Slow States Podcast #14: Me, Myself and I

What's a man to do when he's spending his very last night in a strange town and the rest of the Slow States crew has bailed? SOLO PODCAST, BABY. Is it any good? Probably not, but it's a (thankfully) short spin through this week's Big Ten games and the scissor lift tragedy at Notre Dame.

And yes, that closing song combines Kanye West, Wilco, and the Superbowl Shuffle. You're welcome. Kevin will be back with tales from the Rally To Restore Sanity / Rally To Keep Fear Alive event in D.C, and Patrick will be back with...well, a victory hangover if my prediction is correct.

Slow States Podcast #13: We're All Waterskiing Tea Cup Riders Now

What kind of world are we living in when Illinois has a totally legitimate shot at 9-3? Well, it's a world in which Ohio State goes Cobra Kai on Purdue, and Penn State forgets the coveted Governors' Victory Bell on the sideline after beating Minnesota. Or maybe it's a world in which Michigan State is an unstoppable force, and Iowa can't execute a special teams play without utter disaster.

Yeah. None of it makes sense anymore. Thankfully, the full Slow States team is here to break down Saturday's games, and throws in a few music and beer suggestions for good measure.
