Went to a high school football game last night

Yeah, there have been news stories about college prospect kids whose parents have moved to Iowa so their kids can play football...need tape for the coaches.  The quarterback I watched last night was one of them.  He's a 5* from Colorado whose parents moved here.  

 
Cy the Cyclone: “Went to a high school football game last night... Nobody died!!!”

In the Year 2060 - Future conversation from a Grandpa to his Grandson:

“You know, believe it or not, when I was in high school we didn’t have to wear masks! And we didn’t have to sit six feet apart from each other.. in a classroom! Together! And we could all eat in this thing called a Cafeteria where we could gather at big tables. The food was crummy but at least it was better than sitting in Study Hall. And on Friday nights, we played football! Against other schools! And they brought lots of people to the games, too! Friends and parents and family and neighbors. They actually got out of their houses and away from their Quantum Viewing Portals for a few time segments. And they all sat and yelled and screamed together and they enjoyed it! We enjoyed it!  And some of us even traveled together on these things called busses and had fun coming to and going from the games...”

Then the Grandson asked, “What was this thing called ‘The Big Ten’?”

Grandpa replied, “They were pretty good at football. It was this league that stretched from the Sand Hills all the way to New York and it had fourteen schools in it.”

The Grandson smiled. “Sure, Grandpa... It was ‘The Big Ten’ but it had 14 schools in it and it went all the way from our wide-open Sand Hills to those tall buildings in Manhattan!...You should have quit when you were ahead. You almost had me believing all this stuff you just told me!”

Grandpa paused a moment and said... “Yeah. I almost want to believe this stuff, too.”

 
I hope the kids continue to get to play, I wasn’t able to go last night. Only game I wanted to go to had limits on who could attend. 
 

It’s a real shame some people seem to almost be hoping there are issues, and delight when there are - so they can be right. Sad days we live in. 
 

Personally I’m rooting for those kids even if we can’t play.

It seems pretty clear to me that it can be done.  Practices can happen and games can be played.  From what I can tell it seems way more of a controlled event than the off campus house parties.
