Today marks the start of one of the greatest stretches in the sports season. For the next 55 days, there will be football on television every single day. When I find myself in the midst of the NBA regular season, I look forward and dream about this day. 55-straight days of football is not for the faint of heart, there is a lot of bad football mixed in. But, as true football fans, we embrace the bad and take it with the good because we are just happy to be overdosing on the sounds of pads smacking and bands playing.
Within these 55-days we get a heavy dose of the Mid-American Conference, also known as MACtion. The MAC is reserved for the grittiest of football fans (and players) who love ugly games in ugly football weather on a Tuesday night in Akron. Anyone can tune into a great SEC matchup on a Saturday night, but when its Wednesday and Bowling Green is beating Western Michigan 37-12 in a blizzard, that’s when you know you are a true football fan.
Here is the best part. After the 55th day, there is only one day off before we hop right back into bowl season, playoffs etc.. This is what it’s all about!
