Good morning! This is going to be a daily(ish) post that discusses the goings on of the rest of the Big Ten Conference, and the country as needed. Much like the European Union, the Big Ten is a loosely confederated group of entities that sometimes have the same goals (like free movement of people between countries or not winning national titles in football or basketball) and sometimes accept new members that they later regret (Estonia or Rutgers).
We hope that you will use this post to comment on things happening around the conference and also as a sort of daily open thread to discuss breaking news or argue about Spotted Cow.

Hear what Coach Wilkins has to say about this weekend's showdown with Duke. pic.twitter.com/K96PH3Xlot
From the UW press release: “The Wisconsin women’s soccer team will head to Los Angeles for the second and third rounds of the 2019 NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship. UW, the No. 3 seed, will take on Duke on Friday in a 7 p.m. CT (5 p.m. PT) game at Wallis Annenberg Stadium. The winner of UW/Duke will take on the winner of No. 2 UCLA/Clemson on Sunday in a 6 p.m. CT (4 p.m. PT) contest.”
It appears both games will be streamed on PAC-12.com.

- Despite playing, and beating, a Big East team last week, the Badgers were not involved in this year’s Gavitt Games. The B1G emerged victorious without Wisconsin’s help which is, fine I guess? Do we care about this?
- Purdue has a good TE. Someone tell Jim Leonhard that I said that so he knows to cover him on Saturday.
- I don’t know much about wrestling scoring, but Iowa beating a team 39-0 seems good no matter the sport.
- Rutgers men’s basketball is getting very existential and searching for their identity.
- Michigan is still, rightfully, mad about the cheap shot that MSU DL Jacub Panasiuk delivered to Shea Patterson at the end of the game.
- Literally every pregame show will be at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. Well, I guess not the SEC that Finebaum is on...but every other one!
- Illinois is out for revenge against Iowa.
- In case you missed it, the Axe game will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. CT in two Saturdays.
B1G basketball scoreboard from last night (losses in bold because we are here to laugh at misfortune):
No. 3 Michigan State 94 - Charleston Southern 46
No. 10 Ohio State was beating Stetson 42-14 at halftime and there’s no way I check that score again, so assume the Buckeyes won big.
Illinois 66 - Hawaii 53
