Pete, it's been a weird offseason.

It's a weird preseason right now.

The Big 12 announces a 10 game schedule

basically in line with the other Power 5 conferences. What do you think this season's going to look

like, Pete? It's going to be a mess until they figure it out. And what the conferences are doing

is that the mid-September start date is going to really make this thing a little bit more interesting because it seems like it's right here.

It seems like it's starting up.

But, I mean, in so many weird ways around this time, everything seems shortened and long.

Like, it just like it seems like we've been doing this for forever.

But at the flip side, it's only been four months since the whole thing really sort of

shut down in the world.

Six weeks does not seem like that long, but it kind of is.
