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).
- In case you missed Navy Badger’s Fan Post on Wednesday, here is his college wrestling primer which gives a lot of the basics for those who are new to the sport. The Badgers should be competitive in the Big Ten, aka the best wrestling conference in the land, and there is more wrestling on Big Ten Network than ever. Thanks to Navy Badger (and 2CofC who wrote a nice explainer in the comments of the Buffalo match post) for helping us newbies out!
- Bring back the red pants and helmets??????

"I mean the running back is a big man. He’s 240 pounds. And he runs like a smaller back, so this will be a great test."#Badgers
