Whether your team is losing or capable of winning more games than it loses, bye weeks are the best. If your team stinks, you don’t have to voluntarily subject yourself to unpleasantness for nearly four hours (a healthy way to live!), and if it’s a decent to good team, you have an entire Saturday without crippling anxiety and life-shortening stress.
In the case of Ole Miss and those of us who lack the willpower to not watch, this past Saturday was a nice break from hollerin’ about an offensive or defensive coordinator, 50-yard field goal attempts that give the opposing team great field position, and mistakes that never stop happening.
