In which we continue to pivot towards prose and punt on audio/video.

Good morning! You probably know the drill here. But if you're new, hello! Welcome! How the hell did you find this place? Please go ahead and smack that "About" button at the top of the page real quick-like.

You're at the only Midwestern-centric, Big Ten-focused college pregame show with no budget, no audio, no video, and no asshat former West Virginia punters.

Let's rip through the OTR posts that you might have missed from earlier this week and then hit a few articles from our friends around the independent college football blogspace.

Grab another pour of coffee and go slice those bagels.

It's Saturday. It's time for football.

Oh! And if you want an OTR sticker for F-R-E-E-E, please send your mailing address to alma.otter91@gmail.com. Dog shown to demonstrate size. Not available for purchase.
