Hell, the games have begun for the NAIA level and begin tomorrow for the FBS with a Big Ten matchup between Nebraska and Illinois in Champagne serving as the very first game of a return-to-normal season that will still be unlike any other considering the chances of COVID-19 related forfeits.
Very soon, Jordan-Hare Stadium will be whole again, with a sea of orange and blue spanning the entirety of the stadium for the first time in two calendar years.
