Bookstore Brew with Trent McGee is a Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday morning show for college football, the best (worst) of social media, and whatever else is happening that day — all over a cup of coffee and a rotating cast of way too many college mugs. Trent (also of Kirkwood & Dunn) does the doom scrolling so you don't have to, then breaks down the football and the day's biggest storylines to go with your coffee. New episodes every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday morning.
Bookstore is part of Kirkwood and Dunn.
Is the Big Ten Title Race Wide Open After the Julian Sayin News and What Does That Mean for Indiana?
Julian Sayin is out for multiple weeks. Ja'Kobi Jackson is out. Ohio State is heading into a gauntlet stretch of their schedule without their starting quarterback and their lead running back. And the question Trent cannot stop asking Tuesday morning is whether this blows the Big Ten wide open — and whether Indiana is actually positioned to take advantage of it.
Trent covers the Tommy Carr factor at Michigan and what it means for Indiana’s defense this week, pulls up the rushing success metrics that paint a troubling picture for the Hoosier offense, and breaks down whether Ohio State’s depth is enough to weather the storm.
Then the top five games of the weekend are revealed — including an upset pick you might not see coming — and the Hate Watch Power Rankings return with Ohio State fans after a win making their debut on the list.
Comment review wraps the episode, including the Arch Manning to Indiana rumor, playoff bracket debate, and what Georgia fans think about Trent’s panic button rankings from yesterday.
Full Michigan week schedule for Kirkwood and Dunn at the end — including Friday’s pregame party in Ann Arbor.

College Football Teams Should Actually Be Hitting the Panic Button After Week 7
Five teams lost Saturday. Five very different situations. Trent ranks them all — from the team that should not be worried at all to the one that is absolutely pushing the panic button in Week 7 — and explains why the worst loss on paper might belong to the team that is actually in the best shape.
Georgia, Indiana, Notre Dame, Alabama, and Texas all enter bye week with questions. Trent has answers. He also revisits his three biggest pregame questions: the fallout from Indiana-Ohio State for both programs, the Dylan Raiola revenge game at Nebraska, and whether Steve Sarkisian has finally crossed the point of no return in Austin.
Plus two Big Ten storylines that are going to matter well beyond this week — one involving legal trouble in Eugene and one that could determine who actually makes the college football playoff.

Even Curt Cignetti Has a Healthy Respect for Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State — Here’s What He Said
Friday pregame Bookstore Brew with Trent. The episode covers Curt Cignetti’s coaches show with Don Fisher — including what it sounds like when Cignetti gives a player genuine respect, and Jeremiah Smith has earned it — national media reactions to Indiana-Ohio State from Brandon Walker, Barstool, and College Football with Sam, three questions Trent can’t stop thinking about heading into the weekend, and his weekend picks including a parlay he likes a lot. The back half is the full comment review — five episodes worth of Ohio State fans, Indiana fans, and everything in between. Trent will be live streaming right after Saturday’s game.
