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.
- The Badgers held their local media day on Wednesday and our very own Matt Belz was in attendance. Here is his first report, featuring coaches Paul Chryst and Bobby April and tight end Jake Ferguson. He’ll have more today from a number of other players.
- Afterwards, it was Family Fun Day at Camp Randall!
We’re ready for some football

- Today is the first practice of fall camp for the 2019 Badgers. We won’t have anyone in attendance today, but we will be activating the chip we secretly embedded in Jake’s arm before he left so that we get any important news he finds out.
- I wonder if they’ll do a retake of the team picture?

Joe Schobert is working to change the perception of the #Browns LB room. The scheme in 2019 has a chance to help.

Found a stat that Schobert has led all inside LBs across the NFL the last 2 years. A vital area that could help him return to the Pro Bowl.https://t.co/7fi3x62xw5
Michael Deiter just drove Eguavoen to Jupiter on a down block.
