On today's Wake Up Barstool Tailgate, T-Bob is solo and hits on a wide spread of topics.

He previews Week 9 of the college football slate which is highlighted by critical battles in the Big 12 and the Florida-Georgia clash formerly known as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.

Our friends at Fox Sports sent a swag box ahead of Sunday's Eternal City Classic in Rome to kickoff the men's and women's college basketball season between Notre Dame and Villanova. T-Bob rocked some of the gear for the rest of the show, it's a must see.

Halloween weekend inspired T-Bob to come up with his Halloween movie villain  tier list, which sparked some great conversation (and debate) between him and the chat.

Happy Halloween!
