World Cup Recaps and Previews, Saturday July 11: Last Call Before the Semis
ROW v Hairy Cane, Chimichurri v Fondue
Get your Rutgers and Maryland questions in now! They're like bad seafood after a few days.
If you missed (or understandably chose to not read) the very long preamble to my post earlier this week, I'll inflict it upon you once again.

The point, as much as there is one? We're diving in to the Big Ten football (and other stuff) preview season! For the next nine weeks, we'll be highlighting, lowlighting, and generally shooting the shit about the 18 Big Ten teams by way of their respective primary(ish) rivalries. (Order determined by combined conference wins. Purdue, you know what you did.)
6/22-6/26: Atlantic Week (Rutgers/Maryland) (3 wins)
6/29-7/3: Land Grant Week (MSU/PSU) (4 wins)
7/6-10: Axe Week (Wisconsin/Minnesota) (7 wins)
7/13-19: Hat Week (Illinois/Northwestern) (9 wins)
7/20-25: Bell Week (UCLA/USC) (10 wins)
7/27-31: Corn Week (Nebraska/Iowa) (10 wins)
8/3-7: Cascadia Week (Oregon/Washington) (13 wins)
8/10-14: The Game Week (Ohio State/Michigan) (16 wins)
8/17-21: Bucket Week (Indiana/Purdue) (9 wins, but CHAMPS)
As we head into the first week, we're asking YOU, the devoted dozens, to give us some questions primarily on Rutgers and Maryland football, but also gabagool, mutzarel, Old Bay, soft-shell crabs, and anything else that might elicit entertaining responses. We'll try to answer them in a timely manner. You know the drill: Hit us up in the comments below with your Qs.

Spain should show Belgium a bit more toughness than the USA did on Monday
8-5 yet again? Yeah, probably.
Luke's last stand?
