Dumb Question: How/why do we have two open wks this season?


Sep 11, 2013, 12:04 PM

How does that work? I get that we have two Thursday games, but you end up with four Saturdays with no Tiger football.

Can someone break this down Barney-style for me?

All of you GENIUSES do realize that there are ONLY THIRTEEN Saturdays in between week ONE and week FOURTEEN - RIGHT??????? So for there to be TWO bye weeks, there have to be FIFTEEN weeks of football, which NONE of you mentioned.

###### - I'm gonna fail the whole lot of you.

BTW - Excellent question by the OP. And of course, I have no idea what the real answer to your question is. :)

Championship games are always played the first weekend in December. Based on the calendar this season that gives you 14 weeks to play 12 games if you start the weekend closest to the 1st of September. That is also the case in 2014 and will go back to normal in 2015.

Get out a calendar...


Sep 11, 2013, 12:24 PM [ in reply to Re: Dumb Question: How/why do we have two open wks this season? ]

there are 14 Saturdays including Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving weekend.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ummm, not sure if serious


Sep 11, 2013, 12:26 PM [ in reply to Re: Dumb Question: How/why do we have two open wks this season? ]

There are 14 football Saturdays this year.

08x31, 09x07, 09x14, 09x21,
09x28, 10x05, 10x12, 10x19,
10x26, 11x02, 11x09, 11x16,
11x23, 11x30

We play on 10 of those. We also play on 2 Thursdays preceding those.

So we have 4 Saturdays off, and 2 of those are part of entire bye weeks.

Not sure if serious, but there are only twelve between week 1 and 14.

2+12=14

Because it rained a lot this summer and our grass needs cut!***

Somewhat less dumb question, was the season previously two weeks shorter? I remember a time when we played only 11 games and had only one bye week.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe because we played our first game in August


Sep 11, 2013, 1:04 PM

instead of the first weekend in September. That's just a thought--no surveys or analyses conducted.
