Like most of you, this weekend marked the first time in my life that the college football season got underway and there wasn’t a team that I care about to root for.
Weirdly, I was a lot less affected by its absence in the moment than I imagined I would be. As Saturday approached, I figured I’d spend the day forlorn, noticeably missing that sense of anticipation that wells up inside me as I wait and wait and wait for the Cougars to finally kick off as I watch the milestones tick by — College GameDay, east coast games, etc.
