After what seems like an eternity in a hopeless vacuum of anticipation for Ohio State and Big Ten fans in general, the conference officially announced the reinstatement of the fall football season Wednesday morning.
And, yes, they all rejoiced (and criticized).
Reaction to the decision to revisit the postponement of the fall season was swift and jubilant from all corners of Buckeye nation. From players, to coaches, to media members, to fans, everyone is now ready to get this thing going.
It could be Big Ten and national title or bust.
We’ve scoured the fabulous app known as Twitter for the best reactions to the news from all things scarlet and gray and have them for you here for your scrolling and reading pleasure.

So excited for Buckeye Nation and enthusiastically support unanimous @bigten decision to give our student-athletes an opportunity to compete in the sports they love this fall. Grateful to Big Ten colleagues, @OSU_AD, @ryandaytime, and all our coaches and athletes. Go Buckeyes!

No way I can get this all in one tweet, but I am so grateful to Coach Day, Gene Smith, President Johnson, Dr. Borchers, and most of all our players and our parents for all of their hard work! #fromthedepthsofdespairtothemountaintop #BIA #FIGHT #WEAREPLAYING

B1G coaches could have simply accepted the decision.
They didn’t.
B1G players could have simply accepted the decision.
They didn’t.
B1G parents could have simply accepted the decision.
They didn’t.B1G Football in 2020 is 💯 a movement.
Power of the people, y’all.— Marty Smith (@MartySmithESPN) September 16, 2020
Based solely on the fight their players, parents, coaches and administrators put up over the last month, I hope Ohio State and Nebraska meet in the Big Ten Championship.
