Hey...remember that scarf?

So, this is one of the long boring stretches of not much for those of us who are primarily football fans. I figured this would be a good time to update you guys on the status of my 2015 "Season Scarf". For those of you who don't remember, I mentioned it during the bye week last year: http://www.leathernecknation.net/forum/ ... 5502#p5502
Essentially, my wife was knitting me a purple and gold scarf striped with the points in each game. Purple lines are points we scored, gold lines are points that our opponents scored. Well, the scarf is done and it's rather long.
I normally have to wear it folded over in half, like this: http://i.imgur.com/Z0yNlHI.jpg
But here's what it looks like in it's full length:
To be fair, I am not a tall person (5'5"), but still, it's right about 10 feet long. You can see the beginning of the season on my right starting with the Eastern game, then a big block of gold for the Illinois game. Higher up, on my left side, is the big block of gold from the NDSU game, but down at the other end, the last large block of purple (around my left ankle) is when we let Dayton think they had a chance before rolling up a bunch of points on them. It was a rather up-and-down season, but was definitely exciting at times.
