How’s this for a sign of normalcy: It’s Week Zero, the week before Labor Day Weekend, and it’s time for college football to invade our lives and televisions. After the 2020 season was delayed until late September, and even later for WSU and the Pac-12, this year things look normal. There are five games today, including one involving the Pac-12. The experience for fans in stadiums across the country won’t be as normal, but close enough.
The season gets underway at 10 a.m. west coast time when Nebraska visits Illinois. There’s nothing really tying Coug fans to that game now that Bill Moos is gone after abruptly retiring this summer.
