NDOB will look quite different for the 2020 season, but we have our reasons
Where We’re Going
A Brief Case for Optimism
As we ease our way into another blessed season of college football, the best and inarguably stupidest sports circuit on the planet Earth, I’d like to briefly draw our attention to the recent past just one more time (sorry not sorry, it’s going to be 2020 for the rest of our lives). I do so …
