Well, another game bites the dust because of coronavirus! Are we all having fun? Is this fun for everyone?

In all seriousness, it’s one game between two smaller programs. In the grand scheme of things, it’ll have no impact on the national title race.
Is it unfortunate for the fans of both teams? Yes, but it’s not going to slow down the world of college football too much.

Don’t let fearmongers scare you. We’re going to be just fine as long as the powerful teams keep grinding it out.
