On today’s episode we are joined by Big Cat from Barstool Sports as we do our last preview episode before the college basketball season gets underway. Big Cat makes his pick for a national champion, and talks about the brand new Barstool Sports Heaquarters that opened in Chicago this week. On the back half of the episode Mark and TJ talk Rutgers football nearly scaring Ohio State for a moment, Brandon Walker drops by, the boys are growing beards, and a show schedule change announcement.

Big Cat is a titan of sports media at Barstool Sports, appearing on a bunch of shows, most notably Pardon My Take, The Yak, the Barstool College Football Show, the Barstool Pro Football Football Show, Barstool Sports Advisors and more. He recently moved, along with 40 other employees, back to his homeland of Chicago to open a brand new state of the art fun factory.

  1. there's no reason to not have high level games to start the season. 1 game in college basketball is basically meaningless for the postseason. it's not like college football where one loss tanks your season. there's no reason cbb can't do it. 2016 Nova lost to Oklahoma by 30 in an early season tournament. they still got a 2 seed and beat OU by 40 in the final four. we should have better games to start

  2. The realignment is going to ruin the tournament. Mid majors will get squeezed out even more than they already are. Even more overrated barely .500 power 5 teams will make it 😴 My guess is they’ll expand the play in games and if the play in games are mid major vs mid major I will be livid 😂

  3. Big cat and Titus should have a college basketball podcast, or just have cat on once a week for this one, it's a no brainer

  4. Typical father of 3 gives out Sparty and they lose to JMU at home to start season!! Ouch

  5. Why do ya have teams that would bother you to win natty? Really bothers me your not Ryders of the Big Ten? How many AAU all Americans does the Big Ten put on the floor? Embrace the struggles we have here.

  6. Looking at the last 3 yrs, if OSU was ever going to beat Michigan, this is their best chance…Michigan running game way down, but if Michigan runs it at will like previous two seasons, it’s a fraud year for sure once again.
