Episode 129: We Watched Some Football

Humanity Has Always Been Like This: Roman and Greek Chariot Racing (w/ Special Guest Alexandra Sills)

Geoff is joined by historian Alexandra Sills to discuss chariot racing in the ancient Mediterranean world, how it worked, what it mean to people at the time, and compare it to modern sports (both ones that look an awful lot like Chariot Racing, and those that don't).

Blu starts off by quizzing Geoff on Greek Mythology, a whole lot of vamping, the sub-2 hour marathon, shoes, triathlon formats, some World Cup Discussion, and then we finally get to the main topic of the episode, the ubiquitous "Let's Go Blue" cheer that everyone copied from Michigan that Michigan copied from Wisconsin.

Blu and Geoff discuss brackets, NIL for international players, Purdue merch, historic women's basketball, NCAA football rule changes, the term "bracket" and what characters it is meant to represent, its use in math, its use in chess, and its use in informally betting on basketball. Geoff's Freudian slip is a t-shirt with Purdue MBB's two international players on it: https://nil.store/purdue/products/exclusive-release-oscar-cluff-omer-mayer-oscar-mayer-white-tee?Size=Youth+Small Website: ⁠https://feedyourmascot.squarespace.com⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/feedyourmascot.bsky.social Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/feedyourmascot/⁠ Threads: @feedyourmascot  Schrodinger's social network (Twitter): ⁠https://twitter.com/feedyourmascot/⁠  Copyright 2026 Feed Your Mascot LLC
