I don’t know if it’s really sunk in yet. On Saturdays when we turn the television on this fall between September and November, there will be no Ohio State football. That means no Skull Session, no TBDBITL running out of the tunnel, no Script Ohio, and no domination on the gridiron with players wearing Scarlet and Gray.
Save me the fact that we’re still hopeful for a spring (or winter) season and all of that. In fall when the leaves start to change, the skies begin to turn gray, and the days begin to shorten always left me with a nostalgic feeling of college football Saturdays in the Midwest. For most of us here, that means Ohio State football. But yet, the Horseshoe will be empty when the autumn air descends during that time of year in 2020.
And to make matters worse, this had the potential to be one of the very special years in Ohio State football history. Sure, it seems like we’ve said that every year the last decade or so, but this team had something building, and now were not going to be able to see it because of the Big Ten’s decision to postpone the fall season in the midst of a pandemic.
If it doesn’t leave me pining for things just yet, it sure will when I turn on the television and watch an SEC, Big 12, or ACC game and wonder what could have been come late September.
So, let’s get our crystal ball out and give you five things we would have seen accomplished during the 2020 Ohio State football season.
