About

First off: how the hell did you find us? (And also, welcome!)

We're the only independent blog that exclusively covers Big Ten sports, plus Midwestern beer and food. As a preface: We don't do listicles, we don't do recruiting updates. We're not breaking news about the transfer portal. We're not optimized for clicks or views. We don't have any ads or paywalls. We all have day jobs. This is just for fun.

Think of this site as your online hole-in-the-wall neighborhood pub. Think of us as reasonably well-informed sports fans halfway through that second pint. If you want weekly football power polls in which we rate the Bee One Gee football teams by comparing them to outdated camper vans, or a deep dive into the University of Chicago's stadium's role in the creation of the atomic bomb, or a multi-part series on the 100 best Big Ten basketball teams since the conference last won a title, then I say to you: Welcome home.

We're good-natured college sports obsessives, nerds for history of all kinds, and defenders of all things Midwestern. We hope you are too. Pull up a stool, crack open a cold one, and come watch a game with us, whydoncha?
