Here we are just a day away from college football starting for the majority of FBS teams as the unofficial first Saturday of the fall is upon us.
Notre Dame starts the season Saturday as they welcome Duke to South Bend, Indiana. Notre Dame will be representing the mid-west this fall as the Big Ten and MAC have both cancelled their seasons and despite rumors to the contrary, don’t appear very close to having that change.
I’ve found myself wondering if fans of other mid-west programs will take up Notre Dame for 2020 as a result and cheer for the region. Personally I wouldn’t be one who is overly quick to root for Michigan or Ohio State all year long but if they were playing an entirely non-regional schedule that may change things a little bit.
One football fan having troubles with his team not playing this fall is perhaps the most successful quarterback in the history of the NFL.
Former Michigan quarterback Tom Brady took to Instagram to share his thoughts on who he might be rooting for if the Big Ten is in fact not going to play this fall.
On this post from Michigan football’s official Instagram account, Brady commented the following:
