Yup, just like last year. Would be nice for Michigan to get the scheduling gods to gift them a conference slate like that twice in a row.

I know it’s dumb to over-analyze so early but wow I think Purdue got an incredible schedule break here. Enough to make me seek out a preseason bet to win the conference at least.

Purdue and OSU got the easy draws this year. We weren’t gonna get that every year.

The logic that a guy who stared down an opposing team’s head coach, went 3-0 against them this year, and all while a freshman would be β€œintimidated” or β€œscared” with Maryland fans is hilarious… Oh Maryland fans :joy:

I was just thinking about how I’d heckle Turg if I had seats within shouting distance of the Terps bench.
