It’s been 31 days since we played football and we still have 12 days to go. This will be the longest streak between BC games within one season ever. As a BC fan we are conditioned for a bowl game right about now. This year is a little different. We will have the longest layoff of any team in college football. Some perspective:
Days between BC’s games with Syracuse and Nevada: 43 days
Days between Oregon’s last game and the BCS national championship: 37 days
Days between Auburn’s last game and the BCS national championship: 37 days
Days between Nevada’s games with La Tech and BC: 36 days
Days between BC’s 2007 ACCCG appearance and the 2007 Champs Bowl: 27 days
Number of games BC played between October 2 and November 13 (42 days): 7
Since Nevada has a long layoff, I don’t think the gap will negatively hurt our team. I am just worried about other BC fans like me. We might have to watch some of these meaningless bowl games just to remember what college football looks like.
