Pretty dark times for Bears fans, as it appears our boys suck absolute eggs again. Will the famililar dumb face of Matt Eberflus on the opposing sideline be the cure for what ails the 2025 Bears? Is Donnell Wolford still available to play CB? It's time for benjohnson's offense to shine, hopefully in Week 3. Otherwise we might officially become a CPAP and Illini football podcast.

We are choosing to move forward, after briefly acknowledging another heart-wrenching defeat and a week's worth of new worries and questions, but remaining steadfast and positive. This is a new era, and we must take direction from our fearless leader benjohnson without hesitation. And we must defeat the flaccid Lions. All this, plus top-10 Illini football talk and much more.

Thank god week one has arrived and we can watch the official arrival of the benjohnson era. What do the boys consider a successful season for the rookie coach and second-year QB in 2025? Is JJ McCarthy actually scary the more we learn about him? Who is the 3rd biggest celebrity to come out of Justin Jefferson's hometown and why does he have one of the world's weirdest names? So many things to cover this episode, including the return of gambling shart Rick Feelsmen, Jerry Sandusky's impact on the Green Bay Packers, America's first punters-only fantasy segment, a look ahead to the Number 11 (!) Illini's first road test and an update from the CPAP Boys. Welcome back, Bears. We missed you.
