As we continue our quarantine, some people want football back; some people want baseball back. So why not talk about a football game that went in only one direction in Wrigley Field (and no, we're not talking about a Hazell coached team when it comes to one-way football). Travis and Paul talk about the return of football to the Friendly Confines in 2010 when Northwestern hosted their in-state rival, Illinois. However, it had been a few decades since the last time a football game was held in Wrigley, and it turns out it could no longer host a football field with sufficient margins behind the end zones. Of course, since no one realized this until the week of the game, some special rules had to be introduced for this game. Paul and Travis talk about these weird quirks in a weird football game in today's podcast. We hope you listen in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Given that Purdue has the weekend off, we decided to upload an episode of the Let's Get Weird, Sports Podcast, which we usually feature during the offseason as well as any breaks in Purdue's schedule to help fill in some gaps in coverage.

But be warned: there's not much basketball coverage and more of the forced interactions Paul had with C and D-list celebrities that weekend, as well as the general complaints from middle age white men about Instagram influencers. Y'all have been warned. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Purdue Basketball this season has been a roller coaster, and this weekend's game at Northwestern summed up the season quite well. After struggling all season away from Mackey, and in the first 38-ish minutes in Evanston, Purdue pulled out a win at Northwestern, giving them their first conference road win of the season (yeah we know, it was at Northwestern). Travis and Juan break down that game and talk about what this means going forward, and if Purdue can get into the Big Dance in March. Learn more about your ad choices.

Purdue Football is over, it's the middle of the finals break for Purdue Basketball, and the early signing period for football doesn't start for another week. So why not take this time to step away from Purdue for a little bit and talk about the weird stories of the sports world. The Let's Get Weird, Sports Podcast is back for "Season 2" (we never really had seasons but Travis and Paul use it anyways), and today they talk about the former Ohio State and Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Art Schlichter. This podcast mainly focuses on his post football life, which involved gambling additions that spiraled into his arrest in 2011. We hope you listen in and enjoy the podcast during the Purdue sports break. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

'Twas the day before football, when all through the house , not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;... Oh hey there. Welcome to a new episode of the Let's Get Weird, Sports Podcast! Given that football starts tomorrow, we figured it was time to wrap up our offseason podcast with a little (weird) football talk and talk about Cubs and baseball legend, Hack Wilson, who to this day still holds the record for the most RBIs in a season.

23 years ago today, the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta kicked off, and they were...weird (hey, we're just living up to the name of our podcast). From constant product placements, single-use stadiums, and events being held by carvings of losers and racists from the Civil War. Oh, and did we mention the weird mascot, Izzy? Some of these may seem normal now, but the Atlanta Olympics started a new trend for the Olympic Games, with some of those starting to be scaled back. We hope you listen in on this weird podcast, as we try to fill in the doldrums of summer. Our new intro and outro music (just for LGWS pods) is courtesy of APM Music.

With the Fourth of July this week and being in the thick of the MLB season, Travis and Paul reflect on baseball in the late-1800s, and some of the perils some players went through. Specifically, Moses Fleetwood Walker, one of the first black players in the league, and backlash he faced, especially from Chicago White Stockings player, Cap Anson (the White Stockings eventually became the Chicago Cubs). While often we discuss Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, it was the presence of players like Fleetwood that led to the ban than Robinson eventually lifted.

We decided to record a quick episode of the H&R Podcast as we react to Carsen being drafted by the 76ers (and then traded to the Celtics). The first half is basically just Travis and Juan being silly and waiting for Carsen to be drafted. Given some of the frustrations Purdue fans had last night as they waited, we figured you guys would enjoy some of our pre-selection banter. Afterwards, we react to Carsen's selection, how he ended up in the 2nd round, and whether or not he'll fit at the Celtics. It's a short podcast, so we hope you listen in!

With the offseason in full swing, we bring back our "Let's Get Weird, Sports" Podcast, a pod where Travis and Paul (and formerly Casey) talk about random sports subjects that interest them in their spare time. Today's LGWS pod actually has a Purdue connection, as Travis and Paul talk about Purdue's first football coach, Albert Berg. What makes this a subject for the LGWS pod? Well, Coach Berg only coached one game at Purdue, their first ever game, which they lost; he also happened to be deaf and struggled at speaking as a result of his deafness. Additionally, we go off on a tangent as Paul reads a section from his new book, "No, I Can’t Get You Free Tickets", as he talks about his encounter with...Bobby Knight.

It was the last day of the season for Manchester United as they were set for their match with AFC Bournemouth. A huge win, and a Manchester City loss, could propel them to finish in the Top 4 of the Premier League, giving them a place in the Champions League. But a suspicious device was found in Old Trafford, leading to an evacuation and a rare postponement for Man U.
Sure enough, our friend, Paul Banks of the SportsBank.net was actually in attendance. Today’s LGWS podcast is a unique one where Paul gets to share his first hand experience as the stadium was evacuated and the drama that ensued afterwards. It’s going to be a cold few days in the Midwest (or warm if you’re on the west coast like me), so why do you cuddle up next to the fire, add some more marshmallows to your hot chocolate, and listen in to this fascinating story.

In the last LGWS episode of 2018, Travis and Paul get their inspiration from The Dollop and talk about the most interesting man in Major League Baseball, The Rube Waddell.

This was a story that Travis and Paul worked on before the Thanksgiving Holiday. However, with our travel schedules and #BrohmWatch, the final copy didn’t get published until now. Either way, we hope you enjoy it.
Today’s episode of LGWS is a bit more serious than the previous ones (though I guess the last one did talk about war and the Spanish flu...). Today, Travis and Paul Banks talk about Ryan Leaf’s story from being drafted just after Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL Draft, to how his NFL career flamed out, to his addiction to pain medications and how he has worked away from his addiction and speaking throughout the country. Earlier in the year, Paul had the chance to interview Leaf, and most of that is discussed in this podcast, so we hope you listen in. Learn more about your ad choices.

Well, Saturday sucked.
And then Louisville fired Petrino, and openly said they were going to go after Brohm, so that sucked too.
So let’s talk about about feelings about this weekend on our latest podcast. Don’t worry, this is a safe space. No Louisville fans welcomed here.
In our 10th edition of the podcast, Juan, Travis, and Holmes (a rare sighting) discuss the horrendous game at Minneapolis this weekend, and of course, address the elephant in the room: will Brohm stay or go to Louisville at the end of the season? We also sprinkle in some questions we got from our new Instagram account, as well as discussing Purdue’s upcoming game against Wisconsin. We hope you listen in. Learn more about your ad choices.

Not only did Purdue get their third win over a ranked team this season on Saturday, it came against their most hated rivals, the Iowa Hawkeyes. Juan, Travis, and Drew discuss Saturday’s win, as well as what we should expect against Minnesota on Saturday, as Purdue has never won in TCF Bank Stadium. Additionally, now that Purdue is 1 win away from bowl eligibility, we discuss the possible bowl games that Purdue could land in.
Given our schedules, we are a little late on these podcasts, but next week we should return to our normal schedule. We hope you can forgive us and still listen in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Just a warning about this podcast: it’s definitely a bit more on the PG-13 rated side of things. Normally, that doesn’t matter, but I just wanted to warn you in case you decide to listen to this podcast with your kids in your car. Just in case you don’t want to explain what Playboy is and what not.
Now that you have been warned, it’s time for a new edition of the Let’s Get Weird, Sports podcast, with our friend, Paul Banks. In this episode, Travis and Paul discuss the famous 1983 Illinois team that went 9-0 in conference play, and is the last team to beat all Big Ten teams in a single season. Despite their record, and the mediocre record of their opponent, the UCLA Bruins, the Illinois Fighting Illini were destroyed in this game, and was one of the most lopsided Rose Bowl games in history.
How could this be? Well, legend has it that the Illinois team rung in the New Year at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion. Hugh, being an Illinois grad himself, wasted no time inviting the players to his house for an official visit when they first arrived. But were the Illini invited back for New Years, or is this just a myth?

Football is much more fun to discuss after a win. Especially when it’s a win over a ranked team. And a big win at that.
In today’s podcast, Juan, Travis, and Drew discuss Purdue’s win over #23 Boston College on Saturday, as well as looking forward to Purdue’s first road game of the year, as they travel to Lincoln to face a struggling Nebraska team under first year head coach, Scott Frost. Can Purdue turn it around and go into the Ohio State game 3-3? Or was the win on Saturday a fluke?

Well, we didn't expect Purdue to be at this point in the season. While the Northwestern game was a toss up, most Purdue fans expected Purdue to beat Eastern Michigan this past Saturday.
But the mighty EMUs had other plans.
Purdue is now 0-2 for the first time since 1996. Will Jeff Brohm turn this around in just his second year in the program? Travis and Juan discuss the losses and how Purdue can start to turn this ship around before it's too late.
