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 (which we NO LONGER DO).
- It’s election day here in the ol’ US of A and if you haven’t voted yet, you should go do that! Did you know that in Wisconsin and Minnesota (the states with our largest readerships) you can register at the polls on election day! In fact, you can do it in a whole bunch of other places too, including our third biggest readership state, Rhode Island. Don’t fact check this.

- Still waiting on that Big Ten men’s hockey schedule...
#Badgers goalie Robbie Beydoun on the wait for a schedule with the opener planned for 11 days from now: "You could tell us we're going to play somebody tomorrow and I think we'd be ready to go, no matter who it is."
