Las Vegas Big Ten Championship odds released for 2024 football season

What are your expectations for Wisconsin football in 2024?

The Big Ten landscape underwent drastic changes this offseason.

No longer will a regional Big Ten West division allow programs such as Wisconsin and Iowa to skate by and win close to 10 games per season. With powerhouse programs Oregon and USC joining the conference alongside relevant programs UCLA and Washington, every old Big Ten member institution must step up its games to compete.

What will that exact competition and pecking order look like? Who knows, that’s what makes the 2024 season so captivating.

Jim Harbaugh sprinted away from his Gatorade bath after Michigan won the Big Ten

Jim Harbaugh said no thanks to the Gatorade bath.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh had plenty of things to celebrate after his Wolverines won the Big Ten championship game over Iowa, but a Gatorade bath wasn’t one of them.

As the clock ticked down to zero and Michigan sealed a 26-0 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes, a couple of Wolverines grabbed the Gatorade container and tried to soak Harbaugh in a victory shower.

Well, Harbaugh was absolutely having none of it as he sprinted away and somehow avoided getting drenched. Like, he didn’t just playfully jog away before accepting his soaking fate.

He booked it out of there like the last thing he was going to do was be covered in Gatorade.

Look, we get it. Gatorade baths are not the most enjoyable ways to celebrate winning your conference, even if they are absolutely ceremonial in sports.

Harbaugh clearly wasn’t ready to be covered in Gatorade for the rest of the night, and he somehow won both the Big 10 and his sprint to stay dry for all of the postgame festivities.

LOOK: One writer picks Michigan State hockey to win Big Ten Conference

One writer is picking Michigan State to win the Big Ten in 2023-24:

The Adam Nightingale era of Michigan State hockey has taken off and it is running in full swing as he enters his second season. The Spartans have a lot of hype heading into the second year of Nightingale, and rightfully so, as the head man in East Lansing has brought in a ton of talent via the transfer portal and recruiting.

James Murray of Everything College Hockey is buying into the hype, stating that he believes the Spartans are set to win the regular season Big Ten championship:

WATCH: CFB Report shares highlight reel from legendary game

With Badger fans already on the edge of their seats ahead of the 2023 season, the College Football Report got them even more fired up Friday.

With Badger fans already on the edge of their seats ahead of the 2023 season, the College Football Report got them even more fired up Friday. They tweeted out a highlight reel from Wisconsin’s 70-31 Big Ten Championship victory over Nebraska.

In that contest, three legendary running backs (Montee Ball, James White, Melvin Gordon) produced some insane stat lines, as seen below. All three of the athletes went on to the NFL, two of which, White (3x) and Gordon (2023) have won Super Bowls.

Ball-carriers like these guys have made it hard to ignore Wisconsin as the potential “running back university” and stars like Jonathan Taylor and Braelon Allen have followed in their footsteps in recent years.
