"It's not the destination, It's the journey."
It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who first conjured up those words that are now printed on countless T-shirts and bumper stickers and pinned to your mom's Pinterest page atop an artsy photo of an empty road that runs off into the distant horizon.
Well, out there somewhere amid the Great Beyond, ol' Ralph watched the first full month of the 2021 college football season, chilling atop a transcendental plane of consciousness, and spent the entirety of September grinning sideburn to sideburn. And that's not just because his alma mater, Harvard, is 3-0 and in first place in the Ivy League.
