A big weekend...
This weekend, something not-so-important (in the grand scheme of things) happened: College football started a normal season. Last year was a mess, and probably they should not have played at all.
For the same reason (covid), some of the images from this weekend's games were disturbing, as tens of thousands of mostly unmasked fans packed into stadiums. This wasn't universal (it appeared they managed to create some social distancing at Northwestern, for example, by continuing their long tradition of not having many fans), but many of the games could turn out to be superspreader events.
Plus, most of my favorite teams-- Wisconsin, Northwestern, and others-- lost, while a few other favorites edged out a win when they should have won easily.
I have mixed feelings about the return of my favorite sport, it seems...
