1. Interview with Regent Jordan Acker

starts at the top.

UM Athletics recently put out a survey that fans found pretty offensive. Rather than have this out over Twitter, we invited a regent to come on and discuss what they're seeing as revenue tradeoffs versus what the fans are seeing in terms of asking us to pay more for a cheaper product.

2. Illinois Preview: Offense

starts at 37:46

They've got a quarterback and a receiver, but maybe not so much an offensive line.

3. Illinois Preview: Defense

starts at 49:39

The 5-1 defense is still alive post-Walters, and still has lots of cornerbacks playing man coverage. Can they stop the big run though?

4. Washington After Review

starts at 1:03:13

Coverage was wore than we thought. What can Tuttle do for the offense?

About the Music: King Lynxx

The latest album from socially conscious Detroit hip-hop artist King Lynxx, featuring Tez the Don, is a lot like Lynxx himself: grown up, witty, earnest, and honest. King has his own studio that rents out to a lot of local Detroit artists across genres, and has helped a lot of bands perfect their sound, so it's a bit of a local celebration whenever he comes out with a new album of his own. We've shared the radio versions.

Song choices:

• "God Body"
• "Walk It Better"
• "Step Daddy"

Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken now now, the opener and outro:

• “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark
• “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat
