It's November 8th B1G basketball fans! Huzzah, if you're reading this it means that we actually made it through the strangest, ugliest and most low brow election cycle in the history of our glorious democracy.

Conte: Chelsea FC Annihilation of Everton Not a “Statement” to League

I'm going to try and help him escape from the status Mr. … [Read more...] about Kyle Hendricks Won’t “Toil in Obscurity” Any Longer
Wisconsin Badgers Likely Rolling Along to Indianapolis Again
In a very ho hum kind of game, the #8 Wisconsin Badgers kept rolling along the route to Indianapolis; thwarting Northwestern 21-7. It wasn't a very exciting or entertaining affair, but that could have been expected given how tremendously dull their meeting in Madison was last season, when NU won 13-7.
