We here at BTPowerhouse.com love Big Ten basketball, duh. I know that I can't wait for the first exhibition games to get here so I can start obsessing over actual games instead of just watching recruiting news and arguing with friends and colleagues about who is going to be better next season. If you're a huge B1G fanboy like me, I suspect you've been contemplating building a time machine to skip through rest of the summer so we can at least get to the appetizer that is Big Ten football. Well until one of us can engineer a working flux capacitor, I figured I would provide a short list of things we can do to make time at least seem to go faster while we wait for non-conference play.
- Watch the end of The Open Championship tomorrow
- Check out the last few games of the CONCACAF Gold Cup this week
- Follow @BTPowerhouse on Twitter for all your Big Ten recruiting news
- Find a friendly bear and ask them how to hibernate for three months
- Debate with friends about which one of Ohio State's three QBs is the best
- If you don't have friends, now is also a good time to find some before you withdraw from the world in November
- Watch this dunk from Jon Octeus 100x a day:
