No college football games were played on September 15, 2001.
NFL and MLB stadiums were all empty that Sunday too. The world had changed forever Tuesday morning and we had no idea what was going to happen next. Everything just stopped.
San Diego State had been scheduled to arrive in Columbus on Thursday. The Aztecs stayed home. Everyone stayed home. We all froze where right we were, glued to our bulbous television sets and sluggish home internet, with the good internet sequestered at work and school.
No one went anywhere that week. We were all paralyzed by fear, paranoia and suspicion.
