On Saturday afternoon, the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Michigan State Spartans engaged in a contest of American football at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania. Penn State emerged victorious, 39-24. I have several thoughts, which are set forth randomly below:
1. It was a beautiful day for football in Happy Valley. A good day to tailgate, hang out in the stadium, and enjoy the pregame festivities celebrating this senior class…
2. But it’s 2020, so this game, of course, took place in December in front of virtually no people, fully accompanied by piped in crowd noise and family videos replacing actual families.
