So there’s a little bit going on right now in regards to college sports right now. Basically we are no longer sure that there will be any this fall. Yes, the Big Ten just put their conference schedule out a few days ago.
Doesn’t matter right now. The powers that be are still deciding if the athletes will be allowed to play. With that said...
It is the middle of August and summer is almost over. Take some socially distance time off and enjoy hiking, biking, boating, sunning, or whatever “‘ing” you can do. Think of it as a nice mental health break before this fall. You probably need it more than you realize.
We can do it. We will get through this together. We are not going anywhere. Heck, maybe we will start a Corn Nation Book Club. Or, maybe a weekly Call of Duty Tournament will pop up for everyone to join in or.
Or, maybe there will be football. But until then, sit back and chill. Enjoy the rest of the summer.
