Okay listen, before we get too excited, we’ve been down this road before. We’ve heard reports and read the Buckeye — er, tea leaves thinking the conference was on the cusp of announcing that Big Ten football was back for this fall. Each time, things went on with nary a whisper.
Well, here we are again. There are a couple of things that were shared on Twitter today that do point to something perhaps coming today or in the very near future — and it’s nothing but positive.
Again, take it for what it’s worth. We didn’t write the memo, we are only distributing it.
First, the official Minnesota Football Twitter account posted the following this morning. Is it a sign of things to come? Maybe, maybe not.
When was the last time that the #Gophers started a football season in October? #TuesdayTrivia

Then, perhaps even more interesting is the cat that may have been let out of the bag by Nebraska President Ted Carter on local radio station KETZ this morning. Apparently, according to the Omaha World-Herald (subscription may be required), Carter, not realizing his mic was on, said — and I quote, “We’re getting ready to announce the Huskers and Big Ten football tonight.”
