A new era in the Big Ten is upon us with USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon bringing the conference to a whopping 18 teams. Can the legendary conference capitalize on this westward expansion and make a serious run at unseating the SEC from football supremacy? Kevin Kaduk and Patrick Norton are joined by Joey Christopolous, host of ALLCITY’s new All Big Ten Podcast, to discuss the news. Also on the show, the guys talk about what they’d like to see in the Chicago Bears’ remaining episodes of Hard Knocks as well as if Matt Eberflus made the right call to sit Caleb Williams and a majority of the team’s starters for Thursday night’s preseason finale in Kansas City.

This past weekend, Lollapalooza celebrated its 20th anniversary in Chicago. For twenty years, the festival has consistently grown and expanded across Grant Park making it a Summertime staple of Chicago. Join CHGO Producer, Sarah Fichter, and CHGO Social Media Coordinator, Emma Alperovich as they discuss if Lolla is worth the energy for Chicagoans.
