March 11th is the day sports died in the United States. That was basically the last night of American sports as we knew it for 2020. The Gophers beat Northwestern in round 1 of the Big Ten Tournament and then one by one conferences and professional sports leagues began to shut down to the pending pandemic.
Throughout the spring and early summer there was hope that we’d still get football in the fall, to return to some level of sports normalcy for those of us who like sports.
But last week the Big Ten, along with the Pac-12, decided to officially postpone the 2020 fall football season and they anticipate they’ll be able to play a modified season in the spring of 2021.
