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.
- These have been amazing all year.

- Jonathan Taylor was on Jim Rome’s show the other day and is honored to be mentioned as a Heisman Trophy candidate. He has yet to comment on being nominated for the B5Q Best RB of All-Time Award.
- Oh sure, he’ll respond to the Brewers for making the playoffs. Whatever, Jonathan Taylor...whatever.
Congrats @Brewers ‼️ #ThisIsMyCrew pic.twitter.com/bCA1ofCq6y

I told @JDFaria34 he just made a lot of new fans in Milwaukee. #MKEHistory #CheersBoys pic.twitter.com/kneIk26waa

- If I’m Northwestern, I’m going for it on every fourth down on Saturday because they’ll rarely be in third and manageable.

- The men’s hockey team will play both the Hockey East preseason favorite and, uh, least favorite (?) to open the season in two weeks.
The #HockeyEast men's coaches have spoken! @BCHockey are the favorite to win the regular season in 2019-20.

- It is a good problem to have when there are 14 (!!) different options to try out on the power play unit.
Power play was the focus of the #Badgers practice today, with 14 players getting work on one of the units throughout the session. Dylan Holloway got a look as a fourth forward on PP1 with Cole Caufield, Turcotte and Weissbach and defenseman Kalynuk. A few looks they can use. pic.twitter.com/0ACEFqsovt

- A full breakdown of why/how Northwestern sucks in September.
- Is Minnesota going to run all over Purdue’s defense? It’s a possibility!

- THIS. IS. SEPTEMBER! Jon Rothstein was in Ann Arbor to check out the basketball team.
- Adrian Martinez is looking for redemption against Ohio State.
- The two B1G teams from Indiana travel to Minneapolis to open up B1G volleyball play this weekend.
