Riot Fest just wrapped a successful, yet muddy weekend in Chicago. From September 18-20, over a hundred thousand people graced the grounds, later mud pit, of Douglass Park. Here are some of my favorite selects from the weekend.
Initially, I wanted to write a story about what it was like to step into the Big House for the very first time. Then our travel plans went south, and then the game itself happened. So instead of just one story, this is a collection of tales from one of the craziest weekends of all time.
Mutliple teams from the old Big Ten West come out with upset victories in the first full week of the Big Ten conference schedule. Ryan Paris recaps the major storylines from the last week, as well as some of the biggest games coming up.
Alex Izienicki breaks down the Chicago Bears’ triumphant 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night, and how third string quarterback Case Keenum took control.
Owen Raefield breaks down Iowa’s dramatic 20-19 walkoff victory over Michigan in the Big House and what it means going forward.
Week three of college football was the final tune-up for the Big Ten before the conference schedule began. This week, we’ll talk about Iowa’s 55-0 victory over Northern Iowa, Northwestern’s final game before moving into Ryan Field, and the Southern California showdown between USC and Oregon.
It’s November, so you know what that means: midterm elections are here! Time to get out & vote, & what better way than listening to some political songs!

Warped Tour will be making its last cross-country tour next summer. In 2019, there will be an anniversary thing, and then Warped Tour will be dead.
With the release of Neck Deep’s newest album “The Peace and The Panic” earlier this year, I thought it was time to do a list of my favorite Neck Deep songs.
Movements released their debut album “Feel Something” on October 20th, 2017. This record kicks ass in so many ways, living up to their EP “Outgrown Things.” (Image via: twitter.com)
Chicago-based pop punk band Knuckle Puck are at it again with their sophomore full length, “Shapeshifter”. After their debut album dropped in 2015, I have been dying for new KP music. photo: knucklepuckil.com
