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.
- It is nice to see Dylan Holloway performing so well for his country. Now, let me say it again, bring that momentum back to Madison!
In the non-sudden death overtime, Dylan Holloway gets a nice goal in front. He has been fantastic over the past few days in drills, and now the game. #WJC2020

- I’m always happy when former Badgers are no longer on teams I hate. What I’m trying to say is, thanks for leaving the Rangers, Derek Stepan.
Last night, @DerekStepan21 picked up his 300th career NHL assist becoming the first non first round pick from his 2008 draft class to achieve the milestone pic.twitter.com/NTJk4a1d3w

- It’s always funny to see offensive linemen’s families. I always assume both parents are massive people but sometimes...they’re regular sized!

- I don’t think Wisconsin should ever play on the road again this season. Or in New Jersey ever again.
Wisconsin has more wins than any other Big Ten team the past 18 years while finishing top four in league all but once. However, they are 0-3 at the RAC since Rutgers joined 5 years ago. Not their best version this season but a win over a top half Big Ten program nonetheless.
