It’s a strange world we live in now. Oregon is in a conference where, after football, our foes’ next biggest battleground is who grows the best corn. After one full athletic season in the Big Ten, I find myself relating to a particular Family Guy scene more often than I ever thought I would.
What’s especially interesting about this upcoming football season is that Oregon will face three opponents who are not only longtime members of the Big Ten, but also proud representatives of the Corn Belt: Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota.
