It's generally quiet in downtown Lincoln these days, especially in the daytime. It's been that way since March.
It often feels eerily quiet.
Of course, the relative tranquility has much more meaning this weekend.
Excuse me if I'm not feeling overly emotional about Nebraska football being on the sidelines. I have to beat back those emotions. I'm paid to remain unemotional. I'm mostly curious about something. I'm wondering if the Big Ten did all it could to make a fall season happen safely, or at least a fall season that would've started later this month.
I'm wondering in part because of what happened Thursday in the Pac-12.
