I was never and still am not a big fan of bye weeks, but I understand their importance. I wish I could give you some crazy inside info about bye weeks, but they're exactly what you think they are. Players use them to get injuries healed, get ahead in the classroom, chase girls, etc. Coaches use them to game plan for future opponents, take recruiting trips, and fix mistakes from previous weeks. Practices were usually a little longer since there was no opponent to prepare for, and there would be more lifting sessions in the weight room. That's about it.
