8 miles to the nearest grocery store. 7 miles to the nearest gas station. 12 miles to better options. No stop lights.  Little traffic.  10 minutes.

4 blocks to the bar!  All down hill

Games on the list involving B1G teams:
  • 1 M/tOSU
  • 4 PSU/M
  • 8 tOSU/ND
  • 13 tOSU/PSU
  • 16 UW/tOSU
  • 30 IA/MN
  • 34 UW/IA
  • 37 MN/UW
  • 41 IA/IL
  • 44 UNL/IA
  • 47 MN/UNL
Some things that jump out:
  • Michigan only has two, but they are the biggest two. That makes sense. Their OOC is crap and their crossovers (UNL, MN, PU) are so/so.
  • There are a lot more games on the list involving B1G-W teams but the games involving B1G-E teams are higher on the list. This makes sense as well because historically the East has had the stronger top end but the west has been deeper.

I've never had it, but can't imagine liking it.

We do have an Oskar Blues brewery here in Austin, perhaps I'll try it someday.
Oskar Blues is solid. Dale's Pale Ale is probably their most well-known, and is (like a pale ale should be) moderate strength and hoppiness, not unlike Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I know you're not an IPA guy, and it's not an IPA, but it also isn't a German lager. 

Their Mama's Little Yella Pils is also good, and that puts you more into traditional lager territory.

The 20 Best U.S. Cities to Live in and Visit in 2023 - AFAR

I suspect nearly everyone here would have a quite different ranking....

The first 5 on that list are out.

There are 3, maybe 4-5 on that list I'd consider visiting.

Chicago doesn't count. I'm forced to go there.

Oh yeah, I've been to the Oskar Blues brewery many times and agree it's solid.  I was speaking specifically about that Oskar Blues mustard beer that I posted a picture of.  I can't imagine liking it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't try it if they had it available upon my next visit.

Their Austin location is very close to the n ew MLS stadium for the Austin FC soccer team (in fact the stadium is sort of at the epicenter of about 7 or 8 very good local breweries), so before games we sometimes start off tailgating there.  Maybe next game I'll look for the mustard beer.

The Big Ten is not on the same level as the SEC - on the field.

Maybe, but as noted at times, an SEC team can "luck out" and play some pretty weak conference games.

The same applies to the Big Ten. And then on the big stage, exposure happens.

I don't think Ohio State was exposed in the playoff last year at all.  Michigan has been I'd opine, twice.  And I recall how OSU ran over Alabama a few years back.

That's why I said elsewhere that OSU was closest in all of CFB.

my opinion is that the SEC is some better at the top

Georgia/Bama better than OSU/MU

and some better overall, top to bottom

but not as much as many others seem to think
