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 Nebraska).
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).
- This will come as a surprise to absolutely no one, but former Wisconsin RB Jalen Berger is now officially in the transfer portal. Hopefully he finds a new school/team where he can be successful.
After recently being dismissed from Wisconsin, 2020 4-star RB Jalen Berger has officially entered the transfer portal; had 389 yards and 3 TD with the Badgers @rivalsmike @McNamaraRivals https://t.co/4VGwlGRlNf

- God damn the Wisconsin/Iowa game is going to set organized football back by about 50 years. Both of these teams WON their games in Week 6 too.

- Just so everyone is aware what is coming on Friday. Presumably Jake has already asked for the day off. Also, why the hell didn’t we get invited to a private tasting?!?

- I think Montee Ball has an important message for all of the parents out there: dunk on your children if you have to.
My son is 5 and he just told me I’m terrible at everything and that he will win in anything we play. I’m so proud. But I will dunk on him if I have to

- Purdue football is in search of a pass rush.
- Northwestern men’s soccer notches their first Big Ten win of the season.
- What would happen in a hypothetical game, right now, between Ohio State and Cincinnati?
- 2022 4-star forward Jett Howard committed to play for his dad at Michigan.
